New chapter is out.What will be the final arc ?
>it's a nothing chapter full of nobodies dressed as literal whos doing shit no one cares about>and here's a filtered photo of a random building with a single speech bubble on it>see you in a monthThis series cannot end soon enough
>>275249822>fans get blueballed by Gojo's faggotry>date chapter was complete shit with barely any romance>"female" author is such a shit writer "she" immediately goes back to literal-who-characters talking about shit cosplay that nobody gives a fuck
Is this really the last arc? Why would you torpedo the relationship progress so hard if you're just going to end it soon after?
>>275249822>What will be the final arc ?Marin giving birth to Gojo's daughter.
reverse trap Marin is kinda nice now that the all guys mixer anime is over
>>275250510Because people are forgetting this is a cosplay manga with a side piece of romance and not just about Gojou and Marin's relationship.
>>275249822Oh, is it ending? >>275250510Huh?
I've never witnessed a story fall off this hard before. I know it happens but it always happened to stuff I wasn't consuming.
>>275249822I didn't understand anything that happened in this chapter. I don't know who any of those people are besides Marin, Gojo, and the Loli.No new information was given, no context was given to make this a meaningful character moment or interaction, nothing of consequence happened.What the fuck was the point?I feel like it takes conscious effort to make a chapter this boring.
>>275251313>cosplay manga with a side piece of romance>Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru>Koi wo Suru>side piece of romance
>final arcWhat? It's ending already?
>>275251757What do you mean "already"? How long can this fucking premise be stretched out?
>>275251801thought she might go full enako. it'd be interesting to see the pro cosplayer side.
>>275251801There's plenty of romance manga that show the main pair dating even after a long ass setup. Like 40 chapters ago people would've loved it if the author continued the story, but jesus christ this woman is all over the place.
>>275251647It’s pointless anon, you’re replying to someone who doesn’t know what that means.
>>275250109>We really were the My Dress-Up DarlingPeople will so eat up the second season of this, because of it's positive messaging, even though the story goes nowhere and the romance will be an afterthought.
>>275249822>What will be the final arc ?Gojou finally cosplaying as a Hina doll
>>275252307It will help if the coffin shit will be only 2 episodes instead of half a year.

>>275252775All I'm seeing is that 99% of the good stuff in this series happened in the first third of the story, that doesn't exactly give me hope for season 2 of the anime
>>275252332Both Spring's Coffin and the Heaven arc will be under like 10 episodes combined, shit will go by in a flash and I bet animeonlys will have a much better opinion of them overall
>>275249822>Sono Bisque Dollwhy are you guys so pretentious?
>>275253508I'd be curious to see a timeline of the bits people remember.
>>275253578>using the original name of a manga is pretentiousZoom zoom
>>275253508>All I'm seeing is that 99% of the good stuff in this series happened in the first third of the storyThe anime already had most of the romance. You're left with Gojou integrating with his classmates during the school festival and the pair growing their cosplayer friends circle.
>>275250109the circle jerky cosplay stuff is so uninteresting i don't understand why the author keeps pivoting back to iti don't remember any of these characters except the loli and her giant titty younger sister
>>275253679It would be less of a problem if they had any character like juju & sister instead of being not even one note like poor akira.
>>275253753i don't think it's a problem of characters necessarily, the problem is the characters aren't doing anything interesting except looking at each other and saying uwu it's so hecking wholesome chungus that i look like xxx-tan
>>275253679the cosplay shit is literally the entire fucking point of the manga anon, what the fuck do you think you've been reading this whole time
>>275253856>wa koi wo suru
>>275253817If their only character is to be props for things that a narrator could say then they're not characters at all.
>>275253679>i don't remember any of these characters except the loli and her giant titty younger sisterI do remember who they are, but seeing them only infuriates me more. and of course:the middle school titty monster cosplays a dudeand the faggot cosplays as the elementary school girlMarin cosplays as a dudeand for a different vibe the girl who usually cosplays as dudes sticks to her gender this time, because the male character pool got drained I guess. funny photographer lady ruins the joke and actually tries to give money to the fagJuju refers to the retarded "I'm quitting cosplay" subplot.Some random extra from the Haniel arc makes a cameo, I almost thought they want to make him a character, but nope. The whole Hime thing is still trending apparently, but there is no way to trace it back to Marin. So all those chapters about it were pointless.
>>275253959But duuuude muh author approval
>>275249822that was fucking awful
>>275249822I gave up on this series after that last chapter with Gojo acting like a stupid cuck.I thought the drought was over with the confession chapter but it got fucking worse.Now it’s another whatever chapter.
>>275254038never mattered, I guessed it lead to one cool scene, but the whole Hime phenomenon was pointless and the more it is brought up the more pointless it seems
>>275250510>torpedo the relationship progress so hardThey're dating, what else can they do?
We had like 5 fucking chapters about>omg everyone is looking for marin because of that cosplay :)and got no solution. Why the FUCK make another chapter about exactly that?

>>275254771
>>275250482Recently I came to a realization that all the problems of modern romance manga can be blamed on one common ancestor - Oh My Goddess. That manga started off like a fun comedic romance story that moved at a really good pace, but then it ran for so goddamn long (from 1988 to 2014) that the protagonist had to become a dim-witted herbivore who wouldn't return the obvious affections of those around him despite him and the main girl kissing twice in the first ten chapters. Before this, main guys in romance comedies were either normal guys doing their thing, or perverts who needed to be taught a lesson. But after Oh My Goddess, they became more and more clueless as other manga started copying it, and now we're at a point where any physical contact is portrayed as some major step in the relationship.

>>275254505>Since apparently nobody wants to do it...You are my hero anon !
>>275254925Fall from grace and nip "romance": pick two.
>>275254925>>275255407This is a circle of life and axe
Goslingshit falling down from grace.Mw realistic kino making best girl finally shine.At least i am glad to be alive to see justice being served.
>>275250482I don't understand why so much anime romance is written like this (especially shoujo anime), and it really goes beyond it being endless blueballing, it defies every expectation of what a human relationship or romantic love is. Its not even about morals, like I get that different authors may have different experiences, ideals, etc, so of course at least initially some stories will take longer for anything to happen, but some of these shows stretch out the stories so fucking far its just insane (Kimi ni Todoke especially comes to mind).I think Sono Bisque Doll S1 wasn't too bad, but if S2 somehow doesn't escalate their relationship early on its not going to make any sense based on all the setup they did in S1.
>>275255205It's pretty obvious they're gonna get "outed" sooner or later. Marin keeps being floated as the likely culprit but Gojou just replying to the author under his real name would still be a good joke
>>275255600>4th season of the anime>2 cours>360+ chapters(meaning there still is plenty of the source material left) with no ending in sightHow does he do it? What kind of dirt he has on everyone in the industry?
>>275255686not hard to do when everything keep resetting back to square one every few chapters
>>275254795>That manga started off like a fun comedic romance story that moved at a really good pace, but then it ran for so goddamn long (from 1988 to 2014)I'm an animeonly-fag, but I could see why the genre has the issues it does if that's any indication of other manga in the genre. To me it just seems absurd to even try to stretch out romance stories past a certain point, I mean its not like action or fantasy where its much easier to keep inventing new villains or mechanisms to keep the story going.
>>275255651i wouldnt be so sureif anything, it would be expect from this author to just drop this plot and never use it againalso this chapter really felt like one of the lastespecially those pages >>275255023>>275255004>>275254985
>>275254795please provide some examples of these alleged pre-OMG titles
>>275255509>over 100 chapters>getting a second anime season>axeit's astounding sometimes how retarded you nerds are
>>275255613kimi ni todoke doesn't stretch out anything at all, the entire series takes place over the course of three years
>>275255044I never read Love Hina, but 14 volumes tell me it shouldn't be as bad as forty-something volumes of Belldandy not getting her holes plowed by her only star-crossed lover. No wonder the entire doujinshi output for that series is NTR, imagine how frustrating it was to read for all those years.I've been reading Dandadan recently, and it's refreshing that the author is fully aware of all these cliches, and plays with them instead of following them. If there's a misunderstanding, it won't last long, and would be resolved satisfyingly. If there's a romantic rival, the main characters will admit and face their jealousy like normal people instead of falling into the retarded "will they/won't they" love triangle. While the awkwardness is present, it's how actual teenagers in love act around each other, instead of doing the whole "if I touch her hand, she will surely get pregnant". It's obviously still slow because Shueisha wants this story to be a big thing, but otherwise, I've no clue how a battle shonen ended up with a better written romance than most romance manga I've read in a while.
>>275255761no such announcement that I can find, just felt like a "hey isn't it nice to do thing" chapter before the plot of the arc kicks off, which again, the chapter is filled with a lot of signs of "lol if X happened we wouldn't be able to do this for fun anymore, that would suck" along with Marin's earlier comments that she doesn't want to go pro, seems like an obvious setup for getting found out, possibly even by her own boss/manager and having to choose between her job or her passion
>>275255983>>275255983Takahashi's works are the most obvious example, also Kimagure Orange Road, Video Girl Ai, Tokimeki Tonight, etc. Going further back into the 70s, we get into the golden age of shojo manga, though that's a different topic.
>>275256072Dandadan has never taken any of its so-called drama seriously, it's just the same shitposters on here who make a big deal out of every chapter. Hell the last chapter showed Jiji clearly stepping out of line
>>275256155It is a comedy after all. The last thing you want is a serious drama stretched out over the uncertain length of Shueisha's publication, that's how you get actual soap operas.
>>275256089i know there wasnt any announcement either, but those pages felt for me like something i see at the end of a series, not an arcalso i just dont want to see this manga pointlessly stretched out furtherif by some miracle the author could bring the energy of the first chapters back, fuck yeah that would be greatbut its meandering on random shit for years nowthere were some good parts that felt like the early days, with the home date and night emperor, or even the entire hype about Haniel felt like something happening, but it fizzled out into random plots that go nowhere again and againits just throwing shit at random and not even trying to see what sticks anymorefeels overall pointless
>>275254573We knew that already
>>275256348the energy this series had at the beginning had a lot to do with the sexual presence Marin had and the reaction Gojo provided as a sheltered young man, supposedly they're having a school trip to Okinawa which would be the perfect time to reinstate that angle onto the series but the Okinawa setting would probably diminish the cosplay material and I'm not sure that's what Fukuda wants to do at the moment, if she actually has a plan that is
>>275256348>end of a series, not an arcWith the exception of the current arc most arcs had some breather chapters after the previous one ended, so it's ok to have a couple of lighter chapters. The bigger issue is how now it's not just a time for Marin and Gojou like it used to be, but now we have the whole extended cast which people at most tolerate.
>>275249822>Hear new chapter is out>get excitedJesus, what a waste of a chapter>Don't even recognize half the characters. WTF even was that ending with smartphone kid?
>>275253578Typical American detected. Watches weeb shit, but still somehow demands it caters to his whims.
>>275254588The brat returns
>>275253959>The whole Hime thingCould you remind me what that was?
>>275249822I wish the series tried slightly more complex dansou cosplay. The ones we got were just "guy in a school uniform"
It's so over
>>275250482That's sigma behavior, you pathetic virgin.
But reddit says it's awesome!
>>275257265hime=princessduring haniel photoshoot one of marins cosplay friends sperged out and screamed in the crown "princess" like she always doesthe crowd started chanting that since they assumed its the cosplayers nameall over shitter hime was trending when they tried to figure out who is behind the haniel cosplayim suprised i remember this much of itthis was one of the better parts of this manga lately hah...
>>275257820You should stay there next time.
>>275257859>im suprised i remember this much of itSee, I totally forgot all about it. Guess the cosplay shit really doesn't interest me.

>>275257820It feels like a shitty recap. Shinju now doing cosplay (like she wanted to do after chapter 30 or some shit), juju pacing herself (like she said after the coffin shit), the stupid guy reaching out to the trap (literally 5 fucking chapters ago) and now we're here. There was fuck all on progress.
>>275257820No one fucking cares
>>275256153Video girl ai started after oh my goddess but you've also shifted the goalposts to shoujo romance which oh my goddess isn't. It's not a harem title and as far as magical girlfriends go it's derivative at best

Meanwhile in the spinoff, Gojo is a retard and Marin goes full abstract
This being a monthly release absolutely kills my hype and makes me hate it so much when chapters are so bad in quality like the latest one. Should've been a weekly, if the kanokari author could produce such quality ART (not story although this still sucks major fat ass) I don't see the excuse for sono bisque doll desu
>>275260072at this point Fukuda surely must have some level of involvement in the production of the second season of the anime, some of the omakes tell the story of how overwhelmed she was with everything going on which probably includes all the publicity deals and expositions involving the characters
>>275260072>a monthly release absolutely kills my hypeI remember the winter komiket arc and that everyone was bitching that it is too long and boring. And in fact it was while updates. However I've recently reread it in one sitting and it hits totaly different. Maybe the author also has a plan this time which he deliberately carries out.
>>275255023who are these people?do we really care about them?This is filler BS.
>>275258758What does OMG do that UY/ranma didn't already?
>>275260578UY and Ranma were sitcoms to the core, neither even bothered with an ending. OMG positioned itself as more romantic, but aimed at the general seinen audience. It still had lots of comedy, but it was more narrative-driven.
>>275255613can't wait for her figure
Yeah as most have already said the chap was pretty weak. Also sucks that Gojou rejected the handholding last chapter.
>>275252082Yeah but in those more than 10% of the runtime is dedicated to the romance. In this manga it's 90% extremely tedious details about choosing a fucking costume material and the most ridiculous, inconsequential melodrama imaginable.
>>275253508This is 100% true. I was so blindsided after watching the anime and then starting to read the comic.
>>275253856The problem is that there isn't much TO cosplaying. Outside of MAKING the costumes, it's a passive hobby that inevitably turns into what >>275253817was saying. Cosplay in of itself just isn't that interesting, so you need to make up for it with interesting characters doing interesting things under the general umbrella of the premise. Instead, they just talk about how much they enjoy cosplaying.That is BORING.
>>275254795>Recently I came to a realization that all the problems of modern romance manga can be blamed on one common ancestor - Oh My Goddess.Anon the problem isn't the stories themselves, its the business model. Editors/publishers want to milk a series for every last dime rather than have a self-contained story that ends after four or five books. I think quite a few modern entrants are trying to do something different (Boku no Yaiba for example) but that's just the general model - look at serial programming like Friends in America for a western example. It took Ross and Rachel like 8 seasons to get together.
>>275257820Yeah, the weird degenerate shit like men dressing up like elementary school girls would definitely appeal to that crowd.
>>275264806>like FriendsI hate that shit
>>275250482The INSTANT she looks at another man she finds more attractive than Gojo (whether because Gojo ages or someone is just hotter), Marin will cheat on him. If Gojo isn't going to pair these "first" "best" moments of her life with his cock and absolutely shroud her with himself, she's GOING to CHEAT for INSTANT GRATIFICATION.
>>275264806Another issue is romance being the genre in question. In battle shonen, sports, detectives, etc. you could theoretically pull threats out of your ass until the universe implodes. As long as the protagonist's actual goal is vague enough, the sky is the limit. One Piece is the obvious poster child for this. In romance manga, the goal is super concrete from the beginning, so when you start padding it out, it becomes super obvious.
>>275261228Either you haven't actually read it or you're being deliberately obtuse, there's no universe where OMG isn't a comedy first and romance second
>>275265523It started as a comedic romance and then became a romantic comedy as the publication went on. And while milking it for all its worth, Kodansha wrote a book on how to make your romantic manga last forever. Everyone else followed suit, and that's how we got the modern herbivore protagonist.
>>275252307It's a cosplay autist manga with a romance side plot
>>275254573Desperate office ladies are scary
>>275254792tribal

>>275265459That would add realism to this series.Gojou also needs to be chased by a menhera karen and a chubby uggo to make clear Marin belongs to a level in the social hierarchy that is way above Gojou's and he has options in his own league
>not even 150 posts for a new chapter
>>275253679It's a shame how much damage the coffin party arc did to the series. Because I think aside from that, the series has been stellar. But despite how gorgeous the character designs are, even that couldn't save the literal who's from standing out from one another.
>>275269639Just wait till the anime comes back and the threads get filled with tourists asking for Amane porn, even if the storyline is shit/slow/whatever, the manga threads usually are not a shitshow compared to other series

>>275271995The most we'd get is a fade-to-black followed by a morning after scene that implies they were intimate, anon.
>>275271549>The rest of itCan you expand on this, because I'm really not seeing what about the manga has been "stellar". I've kept reading out of a dogged determination to get to the end rather than enjoyment for a while, even though there has been some occasional bright spots.
>>275271995Marin can't even get him to hold hands, she's gonna have to get very horny, very agressive, very astute or a combination of all 3
>>275273085Fair, I'm sure I'm the odd one out but I enjoy the cosplay autism intertwined with the romance. I find Shinichi's art to be gorgeous, especially with Marin's outfits. And I do like the theme of just being yourself, whether that's showing off your powerlevel, or doing the opposite. If others aren’t fond of you, well then that’s their problem. It's a positive message that rings true more so today than ever before. Today many people feel they can only enjoy things with fifty levels of irony. That if you’re taking anything beyond its surface level, you deserve to be ostracized, called cringe, weird, a loser, or whatever. Now the whole "bullying is good" debate is a whole other topic, but I think despite some really rough points throughout, it's a great story about being true to yourself.Wall of text aside, what were the occasional bright spots for you?
>>275273003I expect at least a few sex faces from Marin, maybe a frame of her hands grabbing the sheets. Fukuda of all people can't miss that opportunity.

This series peaked with the content S1 adapted.Everything since then has been middling to outright bad.
