Ok bastards, we didn't have one for a long time.How is your favourite romcom doing?Do you have some good old title to recommend?But more importantly, are there new good horses to bet on?Discuss.
>>273341008all the interesting ones haven't been picked up yet and are in Spanish/Indonesian hell
OnK ended and nobody wonI can’t believe Cuckoo is still going strong even with it’s mediocrityImasara desu ga = lol cuck mangaOjousama finally has good progress going at lightning speed after pregnant woman author gave birthKanokari is still garbage
>>273341230Wtf, why all the eng TLs got so lazy lately. Even hentai now are getting translated by the shitty AI
What do you think about this? Is it worth
>>273341345>OnK ended and nobody wonWas it a romcom at least? I've lost interest at the end of the first episode when he becomes a retarded edgelord who's planning a spooky vendetta against his father
>>273341412>Was it a romcom at least?Aka tried to make a love triangle take up the majority of the manga along with the idolshit but it seems he’s still not over his divorce and his despair boner became too strong again.
>>273341008I'm hoping Sasaki and the lesbo cunt embarrassing themselves in a drunken race for Tamaya's love might actually lead to some development when she inevitably catches them, but I doubt it.
>>273341390More com than rom.VVery good.
>>273341230Like?
>>273341487If you ask me, things are developing already. Sasaki is really conflicted about his feelings for her at this point and Yamada openly made a fuss because that old man slave of the company didn't call her cute and he regrets this too. There's some stuff on the plate at this point, things will move to a next step.BUT don't expect that this story will go beyond confession (and kiss hopefully). So just enjoy the cozyness
>>273341494I'll take a look
This one is very good, but it's on the Takagi line, so don't expect constant progression or things like that. Still it's very sweet
>>273341008>How is your favourite romcom doing?very well
Yuriniggers should kill themselves
>>273341008>Girls are still cute>Chapters are still funny>Slight development here and there>Still no anime for some reason>Kaho is still mogging everyone elseIt's doing well.
I'm hyped for the Mikadono anime! I hope we get more flashbacks to their mom in next week's chapter.
>>273341345>cuckooContinuing despite itself does not mean going strong, it’s shittier every chapter and I don’t give a shit about any of the characters at this point with how things have been dragged out, same as with Medaka Kuroiwa.Imasara is pure romkino.
>>273341008Update on one of the founding members of the Council He currently has 31 girlfriends
>>273341345>CuckooWas it on break this week, I didn't see a thread?
>>273342830Last chapter I saw had Nagi naked again for some reason I really do not remember.
>>273342830There was, but nobody dumped it. A shame really, we finally got a confirmation why she "hates" Nagi.
>>273341008>How is your favourite romcom doing?It will probably enter it's final arc next year
>>273342924and her finally giving in
Is Hima-ten a romcom? WSJ hasn't had a follow-up romcom since BokubenNo Blue Box doesn't count
>>273342953does Witch Watch count?
>>273342953>Is Hima-ten a romcom?Yes, from left to right:>Onodera>The girl that will win>fan service girl
>>273342821My fav is the cat for her backstory
>>273342953>Is Hima-ten a romcom?It is but it feels really uninspired
>>273342967After they turned Nico into a loli the allegations that this is a romcom ended.It's just a gag series with occasional plot(serious) arcs.

>>273342924>>273342946I…really don’t care. Oh my god I just wanted to see if the cuckoos would finally all fuck each other already not…whatever this is.
>>273343043Such a nice artstyle, but if you tell me that it's not that good I won't bother
>>273341008tonikawa is now a harem at an all girls school we got two of Kaguya's suitors revealed
Oh right the spoiler thread got deleted apparently. That’s why there was probably no thread for cuckoo.
>>273342821To those not following the series, can you take a guess which one's the following?>which ones are the middle schoolers (there are currently 7 of them)?>which one's the oldest>which one is actually an auntie
>>273343105and Tsukasa is still not divorcing his ass?
>>273343068They can do both
>>273341345OnK isn't a romcomImasara desu ga can't be called a romcom anymore
>>273341008>>273341008Plz explain to me why this manga with top tier art, good paneling, composition and memorable, striking moments, is always shilled using some of the most unremarkable pagesThis is a great story about how wageslaving and modern urban life are soul crushing environments for misfits and smokers, more than a romcomWouldn't even be mad if they don't end up together or if they can't surmount the age gap, their relationship and chemistry is great and interesting, turning it into a simple sappy love story would destroy the appeal and the pointRomcoms are escapist garbage and their poor writing actively destroy braincells, but I can confidently enjoy this manga because it isn't one right?
>>273343070The romance plot shitted itself at some point and Miki started emulating Reiji and writing whatever the fuck she wants now. that some point was when Hiro dumped Nagi and then Sachi took back her confession: after that nothing remotely romantic happened and even Hiro's fiance got hand waved away in the most retarded way possible.
>>273343105>tonikawa is now a haremI've always thought that this series would have gone bad since the first 3 episode, but not that bad kek
>>273343159>Imasara desu ga can't be called a romcom anymoreThen why am I laughing every chapter?
>>273341230love seeing EOP fags getting NTR'd.
>>273343148Tsukasa isn't Kaguya and their marriage does great. It's just that from time to time we get snippets of the main plot.
>>273343160ehm... it's a romcom
>>273341008Not sure if this one counts as a romcom but I'm enjoying the novels a lot, the main couple is adorable
>>273343178I was being a bit sarcastic, it's just that I really don't care about all the gay shit that the manga is throwing in now.
>>273343216well, if she grow eventually and falls in love with the butler, it counts lol
>>273343159>OnK isn't a romcomOf course not. It stopped being funny long ago.
>>273343105I gotta catch up with this. Took a break after Kaguya got introduced and Tsukasa got more backstory. Have they fucked outside the omakes yet? I don’t remember.
>>273343252>the butlerNo butler can out cook the emperor
Hyakkano's core fanbase seems to be very dedicated. I haven't been following the series since the anime ended, but apparently people are still reading it.
>>273343262No, the best we get is him seeing her naked.
>>273343298why is this thousand year old hag getting embarrassed?
>>273343231and we come back to the usual dilemma, should romcoms keep going after "that" point? Honestly I was one that wanted to see more, but after seeing how almost every title goes shit after confession/kiss/marriage or whatever is the goal, I think it's better ending it right after that point is reached or not too long after that.
>>273341008>But more importantly, are there new good horses to bet on?This one is just getting started
>>273343293I've bought the first volume days ago, I'm gonna give it a try
>I'm a genius!
>>273343368Oh no!
>>273343368why did he imprisoned himself in a cockblocking trap?
>>273343298Oh well, I’ll catch up again. Pretty crazy it’s reaching 300 chapters, the huge count made me take breaks a lot.
>>273343368>>273343385Ah I thought it's Grand BlueI was wondering where the fuck was the scum squad, letting Yuu fuck his gf
>>273343312>but after seeing how almost every title goes shit after confession/kiss/marriage or whatever is the goalThe issue is how the nature of the story changes after the couple gets together,you go from something with a clear goal or progression path to either an SoL that can't replicate the excitement of what came before or just endless forced dramaI think the only way a romcom can go past that point successfully is if it was either mostly an SoL from the start or if the romance is just a side plot so the couple can keep dealing with the main plot after getting together
>>273343389He is a monk in training, he is fighting his earthly desires.
>>273341345>Imasara desu ga = lol cuck mangaI cannot believe how continuously assblasted /a/ is over true love just because it's a story where the childhood friend doesn't win.
>>273343415>I think the only way a romcom can go past that point successfully is if it was either mostly an SoL from the start or if the romance is just a side plot so the couple can keep dealing with the main plot after getting togetherprobably Aharen-san made a good job in that way
>>273343444Not a romcom retardGet that telenovela tier slop out of here
>>273343477but it's funny how you all seethe
>>273343444trips of truth. it's hilarious how much this board pretends to know about love and women.
>>273343415Though I wouldn’t technically classify it as a romcom, Kimi wa Houkago Insomnia still held itself up really well after its couple got together. It did this by tackling issues and cracks in their relationship while also moving the story along by setting a solid direction and weaving it with its themes. A romcom can follow that format without needing to be SoL from the start while maintaining the romance as the main plot from the beginning.
>>273343313>harem>age gap>teacher student power gap>implying it won't be 150+ chapters of nothing where the only thing moving is the shit being flinged by its fans from one to another over who is best girl.unless it gets axed
>>273341345>Kanokari is still garbageThe real date arc starts, interest immediately dead, even the training with Mini got some reactions. Also the pacing is as shit as ever:part 1: they stand in front of the housepart 2: they catch the trainpart 3: the train ride
>>273343312They are married since the very beginning though. The main plot is about how to make Tsukasa mortal again .
>>273343594That had the heart disease plot to carry it after the couple got together
>>273343616>implying it won't be 150+ chapters of nothing where the only thing moving is the shit being flinged by its fans from one to another over who is best girl.The girls won't wait that long
>>273343293If I remember correctly, 100kano is the only older (4-year) romcom on the board that still gets regular threads consistently reaching the bump limit. It's what, nearly 200 chapters? The stability is quite impressive, especially considering how many romcoms tend to taper off in popularity over time — it really might outlast all the previous romcoms.
>>273343444We need more evil women in romcoms
>>273343752if the author is actually committed to introducing the full 100 with it's current pace (1 GF per volume), it will outlive most of it's fans here>but muh axeonly WSJ is that cutthroatIMO it's already out of the chopping block since most of Young Jump's heavy hitters already ended and it's one of the more known series now. As long as Kingdom still prints money they'll live
>>273342697Hype of not, it's a PA Works anime so expect a moderate discussion.
>>273343722True but my point still stands. The story maintained its direction with what it had and expanded on what was there with the heart stuff. It’s not mainly about the heart plot itself but the circumstances around it that kept the story engaging and moving forward. A romcom can still use an important element it has and expand that in meaningful ways just like Insomnia did. It doesn’t need hard drama or any of that but the problem is authors are either burned out by that point, not experienced enough to write past the “chase”, or just don’t see the merit. In any case, it’s not easy to write a couple past reaching a surface level goal and Insomnia funnily enough never really needed to deal with that part since the focus of their relationship wasn’t actually getting together, kissing, ect., but just overall understanding each other. The heart stuff would just be very detrimental if they had surface level goals since all it would do is create unnecessary drama.
>>273343752The main thing that keeps it alive are the new girlfriend introductions, reallyThe anime not being absolute hot garbage like the usual romcom adaptations also helped a tonThen there's the surge of fan artists and shitposters keeping the characters relevant
>>273343594It has gone full drama and the end wasn't very well made too
>>273343916>It doesn’t need hard dramaThe girl having a deathly disease is not hard drama?
>>273343737Eh, I will read it when is done (and is not axed and people are happy about it), because you never know until the end. I recently read "are you okay with a slightly older girlfriend", starts strong but the last 3 volumes feels like they are trying to pad out and figure out the story, there is no real ending either, it just gets interrupted and funny thing, they have a cover with a wedding picture but no such thing happens or is hinted in any way.
>>273343939It did go full drama but I disagree on the end part. The ending was well made enough and stuck to the spirit of the manga, though not the best and had some missed potential.>>273343964When I meant it, I meant the romcoms. Insomnia definitely had hard drama and I’m saying other series do not need to follow replicate that to expand on their important elements. Insomnia’s case was just so because of the heart plot.
>>273343752>still gets regular threads consistently reaching the bump limit. It's what, nearly 200 chapters?>The stability is quite impressive,It only seems impressive when you don't realize it only hits bump limit for every single raw and translation chapter because 1 autist personally keeps every thread alive with necrobumps until they're forced to reach bump limit, even if it takes like 4-5 days.Other fanbases just let their threads die once the discussion has run its course but this guy is obsessed with making hyakkano look popular and successful.
This one : "Oda-chan to Akechi-kun", the first volume should come out in a month, no english translation so far.>Akechi-kun is a delinquent but fell in love with the saint Oda Maria from his class so he confessed. And she loves him as well.>When they kiss, they suddenly remember their past lives...Oda Nobunaga and Akechi Mitsuhide.>Now Oda wants to re-enact Honnouji but the victim is now Akechi and will stop at nothing to get "her" revenge while Akechi is scared shitless and laments on his first love being gone.
>>273344089You realize you're probably replying to said autist, right?
I hope you are all reading this, every chapter is gold.>Futago Matomete "Kanojo" ni Shinai
>>273344187Good point. Anyone that obsessed with trying to artificially make his threads seem popular and successful doubtlessly wouldn't be above samefagging praise for his own work in other threads.
>>273344089yeah there's a thread policeman trying to moderate its threads in vainthe reason why the threads seem to be fast lately is because they keep on bickering about yuri/removing the guyonlookers just post fanart to kill the thread faster
I wish I had one more fella helping with the translation with this.
>>273344089> even if it takes like 4-5 days.I’ve never seen 100 kanojo threads stay alive this long—at most, they lasted 3 days. Looking at the archive, the latest 100gf's thread hit the bump limit in 20 hours. Speaking of other fanbases, the longest-lasting thread on /a/ right now is 10 days old, and there are more than a dozen threads older than 3 days. Where is your narrative even coming from?
There are no more 5toubun-tier popular manga romcoms anymore are there?
>>273344301it happens when the chapter is so boring that the raw release thread (wed) overlaps with the translated thread (usually sunday)
>>273344305No, that was a sensation.
Arakure Ojousama's going pretty good
>>273344301Nearly all hyakkano threads follow a suspicious consistent pattern>thread starts in the morning>gets maybe 150-250 posts over the course of the day>then as night arrives the posts basically all stop at once>no new posts get made for like 2 hours until the thread is nearly off page 10>suddenly a new post finally saves the thread and bumps it back to the top of the catalog>it's always a suspiciously brief and non-committal post, like a piece of fan art or some generic stock "____ is so cute!" line>another 2 hours pass with no other posts, until it's once again on page 10, and once again kept alive with a similar shallow bump>repeats like this until morning, when people start to wake up again>might get another 100-150 posts over the second day>then night comes and it once again it all but dies for 8 hours only getting bumps right before it's about to 404 >cycle repeats for as long as it takes to reach bump limit>guy who LARPs as one of the girls in the manga who's obsessed with numbers quotes every post in the thread with repeating post numbers>it finally dies, and by then it's usually already time for the next raw/translation thread >cycle starts all over againNitpick whether it takes 3 or 4 days if you wants, it reeks of obvious artificial engagement boosting. The guy who comes to every council thread to then brag about how "stable" they are only makes it more obvious that someone is doing this because of their own obsession with making people believe the series is popular.
>>273344257That should remove the guy, mc is the worst part of the manga
>>273344233I'll take note
Among all the other romcoms in this thread, i'm also reading Blooming Love (Hanninmae no Koibito). It's pretty normal as they come yet still really good, i'm a sucker for romances that does not focus entirely on themselves but go into proper detail of the characters goals and daily activities. Sounds obvious but you'd be surprised of how much romances can go without telling you absolutely NOTHING about the characters' lives.And the fact that they didn't beat around the bush and are a couple already helps a lot, fuck that misunderstanding bullshit>>273344590Post the next page RIGHT FUCKING NOW
>>273341936Childhoodfriendcom not romcom.
This one left a big void after the end, we need more sweet shonen romcoms like this

>>273344305There's many copycats but none has gotten it's popularity.
>>273345073is half of WSM lineup still romcoms?are any of them actually making half of what 5toubun did?
>>273344980>thick eyebrowsPicked up
And then there's me. Waiting forever for the next chapter.
>>273341008Seo's mild ride Megami Cafe Terasu continues to boldly spin its wheels, and critics are raving that it is one of the romcom manga of all time.Almost every week it continues to semi-reliably deliver a somewhat funny gag, or perhaps an almost compelling new dramatic development, and tensions between fans over which girl will win the mcbowl have reached levels that can only be described as "somewhat tepid".
Not really a romcom, but MC managed to end his relationship before it even started, maybe herbivore romcom MCs aren't all that bad.
>>273345261>maybe herbivore romcom MCs aren't all that bad.
Akutsu is finally winning her solo battle and goes into hiatus.
The MC is kinda shit but the girls are cute so whatever.
How are you liking the Karins, anon?
>>273345303kek every fuckin time
>>273345323No idea what this is about but center girl will win
Watching "My stepsister is my ex" and I quite like MC. In a way it's opposite to usual romcom dynamic. Guy is nice, decent and confident, girl lacks confidence and create problems from nothing, Of course there are other girl who isn't his stepsister, but we know where it goes.
>>273345395Well, that's pretty obvious. The other are too particular or characteristics, it always has to be the cute plain one
>>273342967I got baited into reading it. Now there's no rom and the com is weak.
>>273345415>it's opposite to usual romcom dynamic>Guy is nice, decent and confident, girl lacks confidence and create problems from nothingaren't these dime a dozen in shoujo magazines?
>>273345261explain further>>273345329I want to be put in cryo sleep until we have at least 10 more chapters, I really really like it, it feels inspired by 100GF but the MC so far is trying to be exceptional without being superhuman, I am happy with how much forward each chapter goes, honestly with multiple personalities they got a lot going on, I hope it won't have much filler, but who knows.>>273345415Is it "My Stepmom's Daughter Is My Ex"/Mamahaha no Tsurego ga Moto Kanodatta? Or are you talking about another one?
It's been so long, finally i can post this.
Now that we draw is pretty cute.
>>273344257>>273344238>>273344089>>273344592Hey, you’re that rare 100 kanojo shitposter. Nice samefagging. I remember a few of your rants about 'generals, necrobumping, thread policing, ESLfag, Rentarou' yada yada, it has been a while. Even the times when you tried making falseflag threads to 'prove' your point about generals, nobody took the bait. Also sperging about birthday threads, that was a thing.What’s with your butthurt towards this manga and it's threads? You even cited a Suuposter who’s long gone. That’s some dedicated hatred to remember specific ritual posters. Do you really believe in your conspiracy delusions when archives are easily accessible? Here’s an example of a fairly recent 100gf thread that didn’t even reach 300 posts before dying desuarchive.org/a/thread/272395957/#272395957Where was your 'autist' to bump it? Just accept the hard truth—threads will die if they don’t have enough engagement, regardless of any boost. If they consistently stay alive, there is enough people willing to talk about their thing.
>>273345556Yes, it is. Honestly I like seeing somebody who isn't herbivore protag-kun, not rapechad from shoujo and not somebody who has to be fixed by femMC.
>>273345562are all of these LNs?where's the R***ian?
>>273345562Too many losing heroines is just another Harem that diguised itself as something different, I was honestly hoping it would be about helping girls get together with someone, fix themselves.On that note, I don't remember the name because is lost in the sea of stuff I read and stuff I want to read, but there is a very good one that started recently and follows this household of sister of different age and their romantic life.
>>273345682At least 5 of them are original manga.>>273345562What is the one next to cafe terrace?
>>273345690This one (Images)?>>273345717Dou ka Ore wo Houtte Oitekure - Naze ka Bocchi no Owatta Koukou Seikatsu wo Kanojo ga Kaeyou to shite kuru
>>273345690>Too many losing heroines is just another Harem that diguised itself as something differentIt was exactly what it said on the tin.
>>273345644I do like it, but the art is too messy and blobby for my taste. I hope it's starts distinguishing itself more then just lite 100gf meets Nisekoi. Monthly schedule kinda sucks for this type of manga
>>273345757Jesus that's a long name. That's a LN adaptation for sure.
>>273345690I think I read the first chapter of that one, each sister has her own love interest end they talk about it among themselves, right?
>>273345644>and not somebody who has to be fixed by femMCThis one could probably enter that category but I like it too much and progress was achieved unlike all those other stories where first the MC has to realize the girl is making moves, then he has to get over the fact that he doesn't feel worthy.However, the one you mentioned has its translation 3 volumes behind.
>273345642there's the fucking autist kek
I don't know what's going on here anymore. They finally know they love each other and there's no one interfering. What's the drama?
>>273345892Let me guess, forced marriage arc soon.
>>273345642Ah so is that the anti necrobump poster in the 2.5D threads then.
>>273345757>Dou ka Ore wo Houtte Oitekure - Naze ka Bocchi no Owatta Koukou Seikatsu wo Kanojo ga Kaeyou to shite kuruJesus the first chapter feels like a personal attack. I am liking how it starts, this feels like a personal statement from the author I gotta say.>>273345892
>>273345642Nah man, he’s correct. Some of the more recent threads have been better, but there was absolutely a lot of necrobumping going on for a long time. It was pretty bad. The other guy who melted down about yuri made the threads worse as well. Threads don’t need to be bumped to the limit if discussion has run its course. Just because other threads do it worse, doesn’t mean it should be done. That’s childish logic.
>>273345892Ops sorry I meant to quote you to say, in general I get the feeling that couple life can be awesome in Manga the problem is not the readers but the authors who can't write it, is like they don't plan ahead.
>>273345562I only know 3 of these, and I forgot the name of one of them already
>273345864The nerve to call me an autist when you are the one who posted an entire schizo analysis on posting patterns, no examples given.
>>273345757Not that one, but how is that one? Harem with a gimmick?>>273345834Yes most likely that one.Ah I found it, Wakaba-sanchi no Aoi Koi
>>273346016They all sibling (NBR) and the sisters fell in love with one of their brother.The gimmick is it's made by Kanokari author.
>>273345690Wakaba-san chi no aoi koi?
>>273345556>explain furtherMC has a trauma and can only get hard when frightened, she only made it worse. He recently started going out with the girl he likes and is afraid he won't be able to do it. He invites her home, pins her down and starts fondling her, she tells him to stop than >>273345261 happens and next chapter she ghosts him. From the author of Hajimete no Gal, the one with 190 chapters, dating basically from the start of the series: through high school to university and still not fucking her even though she wants itand Gal Sen (nadekoko type of sex comedy)
>>273345303Don't tell me this is the last page before the hiatus?
>>273341230I'm glad I can understand Spanish otherwise I wouldn't be able to read Kimi wa Yotsuba no CloverIt's not a romcom but still It's one of the most interesting romances I've read in the past months
>>273345814>but the art is too messy and blobby for my taste.isnt that a plus? I hate the idea of a world that has all my tastes
>>273341008I'm excited for the next arc of 2.5 Dimensional seduction. It might be a Lilysa primary arc, but Taki-chan's gonna be there too. In spite of all of that, bet on Mikarin, always.
>>273346449The premise is kinda interesting but the situations were too over the top sometimes.The mangaka being mediocre artist doesn't help either.
>>273343752Yeah it's great. What sucks is the stability always seems be threatened by schizos that the series inexplicably attracts. The first shitposter (who's likely in this thread) that attempted to derail threads with things like ruining dumps, bringing up retarded bait, or concern trolling about necrobumping or some made up esl. He seems to pop up and leaves when bored though. And now the threads are stuck with a legit (ironically) esl schizo that wants to police any post that triggers him because he thinks it's yuri and therefore the person hates Rentarou and is colluding with other people and artists to try to spread some pro-yuri and anti-Rentarou agenda. Motherfucker actually went on plebbit once to try to fight his delusions there too and then bragged about it here like it's some accomplishment. The jannies occasionally dealt with the first schizo, but they pretty much never deal with the second one (though I have seen his posts deleted once before only for him to still reply in the same thread which leads me to believe he may be a ban-evader). One time a thread had both schizos operating at once and that thread reached bump limit at record speed. I really miss true comfy 100kano threads, even if no one replies to these attention whores they always take up like 30-50 posts on their own. I hope the second season airing won't further disrupt the peace of threads by bringing in more schizos the mods don't do anything about.
