So are we finally done with the bad romcom era?
I don't really mind the genre as a whole, but in the past few years it just became

This, it's the worst offender in the Japanese media, even if it's just a regular romance in story not a romcom.
They rarely ever explore the story beyond that point.

The faggots shrieking about romcom quality usually out themselves as having no experience in that genre whatsoever. It's a flimsy pretense.

Not him, but because it's a non romance. It's an endless tiptoeing and pussyfooting around the actual relationships for hundreds of chapters, sometimes with no resolution at the end. It's a non romance. Usually it's a non comedy too. It's not even a wish fulfillment, unlike any garbage isekai which at least routinely has sex and power fantasies. It's by far the most repetitive, shallow and unimaginative genre out of anything japan does.

>I won't even ask you what's your fav genre
I don't really have a favourite genre, but if anything has an actual good drama in it, I'll probably like it.
As per romcoms the things that I dislike are
>the constant will they or will they not
>finishing the story on BS like first kiss, instead of exploring it further
>hundred of chapters without any development between main characters, essentially just fillers
>forced love triangles, usually because series popularity has started to dwindle

That's what this genre is made for, yes. How it's made makes the difference.
>sometimes with no resolution at the end.
There are bad series too, of course.
>It's not even a wish fulfillment
Bokuyaba is peak (garbage) wishfullfilment for example, so hard disagree.
>It's by far the most repetitive
Like any other genre, there are series that sink on the tropes and others that make to be original with using those tropes and pulling out new ideas, so the "repetitive" critique makes no sense. I'd rather say read more.

I dropped that shit so early on. Don't remember exactly, I just remember that the author came to the first fork in the road where they could go for melodrama or advance the romance plot. They picked melodrama and I knew it was over.

>>269196364
agreed. romance in & of itself isn't enough to pull me in. i used to avoid reading romance mango because they simply never emtionally/mentally stimulated me- but as i grew older i started following some, to fill the void in my heart. they grow stale really quick, especially when they start introducing new designated losers, you know it's done for.
whole other medium, but something like mexican telenovelas is really much more engaging. they have a strong focus on the plot, which often complements the romance. helps for it not to be overbearing as well, as they're not regurgitating the same subplots time&time again.

They were already together for a handful of chapters, I think all that happened is the confession/the "yes", they had what was ultimately a very minor disagreement that lasted two or three chapters, and I think that was it leading into the last two or three chapters which were just ending set-up.

Honestly I'm pretty sick of the loser-self-insert, girl does all the work to make the relationship happen fantasy wish fulfillment stories too but I enjoy what I can out of the females characters and the shenanigans. I preferred the baby boomer jap writers that wrote their mc as a skillful chad that actually deserved to have SOME girls he meets fawn over him. Like a role model or character to like and appreciate atleast. Not always "heh heh he's a retarded crying loser nice guy tm like me!" This whole
>I'm a timid autistic loser that can barely speak up yet this beautiful flawless girl is suddenly obsessed with me just because ok!
is really forced and fake feeling to the point it's annoying. It shouldn't always be ya I enjoy that show except the lame annoying main character, every time. Especially when they keep repeating the cycle with every new female character introduced, it's like the writer gets bored with the female characters he already made and is like "oh I got to make a new chick in this arc that falls in love with my mc because he helped her once for 5 minutes!" like fuck man not everybody has to inexplicably fall head over heels for your self-insert loser-kun write some diversity in character relationships other than that one tune unrequainted love harem song. Raildex is pretty great example of this where there's so much good in the stories and great female characters and secondary mc, support cast, interesting concepts and powerz, relationships, and plot lines and the worst part is kamijou toma and his relationships to every other character in the series and there's even an arc about this in the LN how the story world would be so much better off without him and it's like YA BRO IT WOULD FUCK....

lets be real, the loser-guy-flawless-girl premise itself is not the real problem. it's popular because it's a good premise that can be interesting and funny. I think the real problem is that authors never go deeper into these kind of relationships, they always stop at kiss/confession but they never explore how these characters develop. the loser guy keeps being the mumbling beta loser even after hundreds of chapters and that's the main issue, characters should change through their experiences but we never see it, so there's never new ground to explore as these stories develop

I have seen and read plenty I enjoyed tomo chan is a girl because jun is actually a likeable strong guy that handles himself well and yet is still human with flaws and setbacks. It's actually believable a hot tomboy would love him especially their social awkwardness and ignorance is appropriate for 15 year olds and they move beyond it. My senpai is annoying also has a competent male lead that's has believable appeal for futaba. Relife had a decent mc and it was the girl that was severely autistic. Yet these stories still suffer from the
>50 chapters of will they, wont they. They will!, love, kiss, story end.
That other anon is right about the writers should really try exploring beyond that point they probably would sell like banger and make a fortune. All the repetitive story format and limitations does get stale and annoying. It's like jap writers have a limited range when it comes to relationship stories and they can't go outside their zone.

Haven't kept up with Bisque Doll and BokuYaba, but both of those had pretty substantial differences in their protagonists despite having "loser" protags. Both of the aforementioned series have their characters develop over time. On top of that, they're both very different in how their stories were told. while you could even make the argument for Bisque Doll being a borderline shoujo series with how much of it is from Marin's POV.

OP is either a femoid or a troon. I bet you'd rather have a female self-insert with a reverse harem.
Just imagine all those k-pop faggots gangbanging (you) in your wet fujoshi dreams.

I don't think these really fall into the rom com genre as I think of it. They usually severely lack rom and com. More like will they won't they and sensible chuckle.

I was hoping for that as the final few pages. Show him drawing Nagatoro in the club room, shows the scene fade a bit, and it zooms out with him older putting the touches to a family portrait. Don't even have to show it all, but just the fact they did get married and have kids. End with Nagatoro calling him for dinner and making some snide remark.
Doesn't have to show us everything, but it would've been nice to get some sort of idea of the future.

It's pornography because its primary objective is fufilling a very specific fantasy for you to insert yourself into.
>what if I, vanilla person, was suddenly accosted by a haughty hot girl who looks and acts like a whore but is actually pure (Madonna–whore complex solution) and likes me because I'm... nice
This is NOT criticism. There is a place for this kind of media, and for all demographics. I was pointing out why OP's expectations were misplaced.
>>
>>269208091
Nah it's not just Mizukami, the best place for romance is in genres that aren't romance, since there'll be actual plots there that romance takes a backseat to. Which might seem restrictive but is actually enlivening, since that means you don't have to worry about the common "If they get together the series ends" type issues, and can write and progress the romance however you want. Not to mention you can create tension by having literal demons they can overcome and beat together, instead of writing infuriating misunderstandings, love triangles, and other artificial conflicts.

I actually like the new era of romcoms mostly have the couple confessing and starting the relationship early on and the shenanigans consist of their experiences as a couple and growing up together.

I prefer romance where both the characters aren't ciphers. It feels like a waste if one of the characters is a stand-in or an uwu 10/10 perfecto idol
OG Nagataro has more sauce and the guy has more power in their relationship, manga Nagatoro makes a poor first impression in that context ("a-a-awa, N-n-n-n-nagatoro-senpai!!") that makes me disinterested in spending more time with the characters

It will never end. There's at least going to be one "romcom" about "guy with borderline autistic social skills meets a girl that's super into him because reasons" every single season.
The currently airing Russian girl is pretty much another one of these tripe.

Why would authors even bother when they can just copy the exact formula with minimal effort and become top sellers?
At this point, I rather watch Shoujo, or just romance subplot in non romance series.
We're not getting another one like Kaguya or Juliet again anyway. If I really want actual bona-fide romcom where the romance is good and the comedy is actually funny, I'll go play VNs.

Give zoomers a break, they went through puberty right in the peak of #metoo and it damaged their perception of sexuality forever.

Tank Chair also has some good ones. There's genuinely no reason to go filtering through the garbage dump of rom coms for good romance, just read what looks good to you. If you like the general premise and plot of a story, you'll probably like any romance subplots that sprout off from it.

That simply isn't true. People who haven't read shoujo parrot that as a common deflection. While there is a lot of low quality generic stuff, you don't need to go digging far. There's a lot of variety in the character relationships, dynamics, plot, etc in big shoujo romcom titles like Kare Kano, Fruits Basket, Cardcaptor Sakura, Kodocha, Ouran, Kimi ni Todoke, Nodame Cantabile, Maid-sama, Lovely Complex, Hachimitsu to Clover. There's a lot more variety and depth there than this output >>269196286. The truth is the romcom genre was in a much better place when it was mainly a shoujo thing.

Anon it was never "mostly shoujo". It has never been mostly shoujo. It's only in recent times where faggots like you are so in demand to censor male interests that romcom for men is dying simply because it can't be made appealing to men anymore.

Before your teasing romcoms was two decades of constant ecchi harems.

Wasn't Senpai canonically good looking and talented? He had positive qualities that could be considered attractive. Nagatoro was not perfect by any means but it evolved much more beyond same joke every time.

>>269229862
It's simply a larger net. It's not about being autistic, it's about being a mostly blank slate. One size fits most. In order for people to like romcom there has to be a level of relation that people feel with the characters which is why they tend to be tropey rather than super fleshed out.

Also the nature of having to do this in the format of a short light novel or anime with a dozen or two episodes.

Exactly, look at how the delinquent genre died when everyone realized most delinquent MCs would probably hate 80% of the readers.

I mean if you completely ignore the trend of romcoms ending and very few new ones coming out, particularly ones that men liked to consumer with fanservice.

Combined with the general decrease in fanservice/ecchi across the board in anime with women constantly bitching about said genres. It's easy to see what's happening. Anime industry is shrinking too, it's on the same path to what happened to Western industries.

1. endless romcomslop is not a good thing. i enjoy the genre but i hate 300 chapter behemoths that go nowhere and drag on forever, causing precious resources to be spent on adapting and producing absolute trash. concepts that deserve maybe an ova at best like rent a cuck get a billion chapters and seasons.
2. we're getting 50+ anime a SEASON, it's an obviously unsustainable arrangement when you consider actual people are working on it and we had loud scandals over studios like mappa overworking their staff relatively recently. it's not about women, there's been a lot of people complaining about ecchi manga since its inception and they don't share a gender or specific political beliefs. it's not going anywhere. manga artists don't give a shit and will keep making it like always.

How is this even an argument? Let supply and demand take its course. There's no need to censor shit, you can just ignore it and watch the stuff you like instead.

It's definitely going the way of the dodo. They of course still want to make it but year-by-year regulations are getting stricter and stricter. I would not be surprised if loli is straight up banned within a few years in Japan. Then stuff like high-school settings with any kind of fanservice will follow. It's already going towards that trend.

I understand not wanting to have the couple fuck. But setting up scenes like Marin/Gojo in the hotel or pic-related just kills the story.
It goes beyond "will they - wont they?" and enters the realm of absurdity. I know there's a population of anons that vehemently disagree but that's just their puritan ancestry talking.

Which is strange as teenagers were always separated in times of old because everyone knows if they're allowed to be close like this then they WILL fuck.
People, especially teenagers, especially especially attractive teenagers in these situations do NOT act this way.

It's literally the formula of most romance to begin with. Do you know why? Not only because it sells, but because it's easy tension and because of something called build up. If it's there at the start then you're left with just things that would be obstacles for them to overcome to strengthen their bond further, which is actually highlighted a lot more if they do the will-they-won't-they to begin with. This especially applies if it's especially romance focused, anytime they do it at the start it's almost always baked into part of the premise itself.
Let me put it this way, would you not think it more satisfying to see love bloom after they've been through all sorts of trials and tribulations together? What if there was a story about defeating a demon lord, but the demon lord is defeated at chapter 3 and the plots just over at that point? It's just bad in regards to a serialization.
>>
>>269195758
I agree with this. It just feels stronger if it's part of a setting with other things going on rather than it being the main deal.

>>269229676
>it was never "mostly shoujo". It has never been mostly shoujo
Yes it was. Shoujo dominated romance for many decades until recently. Stuff for male audiences could have romance as an element but it was usually never the main focus. Anything considered romance was also action or fantasy or scifi or whatever which got a bigger spotlight than the romance.
>two decades of constant ecchi harems
Like To Love Ru? That's what you consider romance? By two decades, I assume you mean starting in the 2000s because this stuff didn't take off until Ken Akamatsu. Even then, this wasn't huge and a lot of it came from VN adaptations (and that applies to the real romance titles too, not just ecchi harems). Shoujo still had the majority of the romcom market in the 2000s.
>Before your teasing romcoms
The teasing romcoms of today were ripped from shoujo as well.

So i read nagatoro today and they seriously had the audacity to imply nagatoro and senpai weren't together at the end? Wtf.
There's so much wrong with this series
The early bully dynamic was interesting but it was quickly forgotten.
The ticket was never used.
Nagatoro is a cuckold, whenever another girl interacted with paisen she got mogged.
The pres and shikki are exhibitionist whores (also shikki is obese)
The rest of the girls are sluts too.
The judo tournament arc was decent because oh wow it took time away from the "romance" and developed several characters and it wasn't just the same stale flirting just for the sake of it and despite the conclusion to the judo arc being pretty solid they time skip and nagatoro and paisen just high five after being away implying they aren't even together anymore.

I'm glad i didn't followed this series as it aired.

No, I wanted to be born 70 years in the future after the apocalypse, in post apocalyptic america where unity and tribalism is law.

Yes, OP made a cameo during the 4chan crossover chapter and sucked senpai's dick for 20 pages.
It was quite an uncomfortable read.

It happens because no one wants to turn the money faucet off of a series that is selling. Ideally though I think a lot of romcoms would be stronger if they were just shorter especially if they don't have anything interesting planned for the couple after they get together.

Nowdays it''s always polar opposites. "She's popular, he's friendless." "She's outgoing, he's a loner", "She's dumb, but he's smart" , etc.

When was the last time when we got an "anime" romcom where the male lead is on the same "ground" as the heroine?
As in, both parties are the popular/rich/talented or combination of those type of people, and the "tease" isn't one sided?
Was it Masamune?

Taking from life experience, having a gf that's an opposite of you in a meaningful way is a recipe for a toxic relationship
don't do it bros, it only works in fiction

I don't see anything wrong with either format.

>I preferred the baby boomer jap writers that wrote their mc as a skillful chad that actually deserved to have SOME girls he meets fawn over him. Like a role model or character to like and appreciate atleast.
>Raildex is pretty great example of this where there's so much good in the stories and great female characters and secondary mc, support cast, interesting concepts and powerz, relationships, and plot lines and the worst part is kamijou toma and his relationships to every other character in the series and there's even an arc about this in the LN how the story world would be so much better off without him and it's like YA BRO IT WOULD FUCK....
So which is it? Because most of the girls that fawn over Touma do so because he saved their fucking life. Also maybe stop being a secondary retard and read the novels, since the arc you mentioned was about a goddess trying to get him to kill himself and him coming to terms that its ok to be selfish and want to live for his own sake.
Your next move will be to act like the anime is a good enough representation of the LNs despite being a fucking dogshit adaptation.

Where's the gaslighting and shaming ITT, though? Lots of fans don't like where Sono and Nagatoro are/were going.
