>>282138268Would it be NTR if they fuck him into submission?
Results of the latest popularity poll. Best girl in first place where she belongs.
>>282138370huh, Akane finally got knocked off of her pedestal? I mean, I seem to vaguely recall that happening before, but 'vaguely' is a keyword there
I'm going to be pretty depressed when this ends soon
>>282138363No it doesn’t count if it’s family members it’s just family bonding. Like going to a sauna with your father in law
>>282138450Ouka got a lot more focus and as someone else said a few threads back Akane got sidelined in her own last two arcs and is in a really weird place as a character.
>>282138370Amibros...
>>282138515me too, it's not an amazing series but it is enjoyable and part of these threads week after week has gotten me attached to it.I've also been on Seo's wild ride since Kimi no iru Machi, and I've no idea if he has anything planned after this, so it'd feel like the end of the era if he doesn't.
>>282138268Time for the grandma squad to get out the chanclas
>>282138268I want some ridiculous ending where they just beat him to death or something and then accept the jail time since they're old and are going to die soon anyway
>>282137732Go win, Ririka! At least that would make Hayato's pain worth it.
>>282137768Good for him ending it while it's still good.
>>282138268I hope the black saint grandmas appear too
>>282138370Ah, I was wondering when the Japanese shit taste would return.
>>282138869I'm sure he'll do another series after this. I'm also expecting it to have the most melodrama he's ever written to make up for ~5 years of a normal romcom
>>282138370OukASS
>>282137908ENTERThe third harem
>>282138268Just the Yakuza grandma is enough to break Fuwa. What will the 5 of them do?
>>282139282one old theory I had/hoped for was that the Black Saints had the same grandmas as the main group, and this were their cousins.I think I came up with it because the plotline that introduced the grandmas segued into the Black Saints first appearance.It might also explain their resemblance
>>282139412Honestly, she could just buy all the properties and build the resort around the cafe to give it a bunch of new customers
>>282138370Akanebros, it's over
>>282139603Akane’s mom will beat her for losing first place…
>>282138370Makes sense that Ami is last, she got turned into a gag character only there for comedic events
>>282139806>turnedWas she ever anything else?
>>282138268Thanks OP>>282138370>3rd place
>>282137875is this the first time he cried the entire manga?
>>282138033>>282138117kino
>>282138370This screams>I want ouka to win so have her win the poll too (see nisekoi)
>>282138268they'll combine their pension money and buy the land back
>>282137768huh, given that the anime (almost certainly) isn't getting another season, does that mean Ouka's ending there is that she just buggered off to France and never came back?
>>282138370>Ami lasteverything's according to keikaku
>>282138515>>282138869same. I'm gonna miss the threads... hopefully we all end up together in another manga
>>282140022I did have the slight impression he wanted to wait til Ouka was on top before he ended the series.Don't know enough about Nisekoi to see how it's relevant though
>>282140114>hopefully we all end up together in another mangait's weird, I enjoy the threads and quite like the people in them, but I can't really say I noticed any distinct personalities here apart from the Ami-schizo
>>282137908MOTHERFUCKING ENTER>>282138033>>282138117I kneel and squeal.>>282138370Amibros, this means nothing.
>>282138869I've been in Seo's ride since Suzuka, nonstop seething, but my favorite Seo's work is Goddess Cafe. I'm gonna miss my girls.
>>282137470>The climax arc continuesFixed.8 chapters left
>>2821383701st place is always reserved for the losing girl.
>>282140638I read half of Suzuka, but I missed the threads for it.It was sort of interesting catching some of the leftover feelings and opinions about it in the Kimi Machi threads, thoughhttps://archived.moe/a/thread/12894895
>>282140131>Don't know enough about Nisekoi to see how it's relevant thoughGorilla won the last poll right after all the onodoormaturds and marikeks left the series. Ironically, it was the most fair poll. The other ones had Onodoormat and Marikek winning simply bc of one autistic fan mass voting.
How mentally prepared are you for this series to end?
>>282138268Whatever happens, I just want to see Fuwa literally run out of town.
>>282141347Not at all Tuesday has a lot of stuff come out and I will be stuck faceing the harsh reality of the world when I have to change things like this.
What the fuck is his problem?
Whose win would cause a bigger shitstorm?
>>282141813Tina
>>282141813Ami, she hasn't earned it in any meaningful way. Much like Yotsuba in Quintessential Quintuplets
>>282137470it's kind of interesting seeing the difference in attitude to GCT now compared to when it started, where Seo's previous works cast a bit of a cloud over ithttps://desuarchive.org/a/thread/216613656
>>282142019Well Seo definitely did not have a great reputation prior to this manga, I think most people were wary. Same thing with the guy who wrote Akame ga Kill, I think most people were wary of his new manga Mato Seihei because of AgK,Those early popularity polls don't surprise me, except that maybe Ami being that high. I guess she wasn't memified yet. Ouka was prickly right out of the gate so not surprising she was 5th
>>282141970The chapter before Fuwa's last meltdown says otherwise.
>>282138167> they're actually all pysically thereI thought this was just another hayato schizo episode, what the hell
>>282141970>Much like Yotsuba in Quintessential QuintupletsHeh.
>>282141937I'll forgive him if we get a graphic sex scene
You know, I thought we'd at least get Ami realizing she's in love with Hayato before the final arc began
>>282138370Who in their right mind isn’t voting for Ami in these polls?? Seeing this result will make her victory that much sweeter to see.
>>282141519
>>282143810Such a minor thing to hold a generational grudge over
so are they finally gonna reveal who's the goddess of the cafe terrace??
>>282143788>Seeing this result will make her victory that much sweeter to see.Seo's days in Kodansha will be over if he dares to subvert popularity polls.
>>282137809you know, I'm a little surprised there weren't any recurring customer characters.Given that it's a cafe, you'd think there'd be more familiar faces
>>282144152there's also
>>282138370How the fuck this happen? Too many fart fetishes
>>282144130Thanks
>>282144507I mean, the guy lost his arm, his employees, and his cafe burned downYou'd think that'd be enough to placate some anger
>>282143375She declared her love for him in her solo chapter 3 weeks back
>>282144616It’s never enough for some people there are people like Fuwa who just sit around angry that people aren’t suffering for what they did to them enough.
>>282143810>>282144507>>282144616I wonder if they'll reveal that there's more to Fuwa's grudge than this?
>>282138268Unless they're going Summer Wars' grandma I won't hold my breath with their 'this time is our time' thing. That said, kino potential is here.
Fuwa will be pegged as a monkeys paw wish
>>282137908ENTERLAS ABUELAS
>>282137768NOOOOO, I guess this arc will end sooner than I thought. Makes sense since the Grandmothers will save the day, and Hayato will stay a bum. I guess to not expect much romance with the girl who Hayato picks? I wonder if all the girls will get good closure.
>>282138370Damn, Ouka got first. I'm happy cause she's my favorite, but I don't think she has as much stride like when she came back from France and got first place. Riho in 4th place is crazy, she deserves higher. Shiragiku's hotness got her that 3rd place.
The grandmas will have a fivesome with Fuwa to release all his repressed anger and save the cafe
>>282139674Akane will have to lose a pinky if she loses. The one she uses to play the guitar.
>>282139252>At least that would make Hayato's pain worth it.What do you mean? His pain of loosing his land and businesses? I guess she can understand and heal his pain the best being a fellow business owner. It also means Hayato's not a liar, and won't pick any of the original 5 like he declared. It wasn't all meaningless, and he has a Youtuber wife to take care of him.
>>282139993No, he's cried before. He cried in Chapter 1 and he cried during Obon when all the girls left him to visit their families, while he was hungry like a baby. Probably cried some other times too.
>>282138370Reminder that Seo will pick the most popular girl to be the winner. It looks kike Ouka will avenge someone after all.
>>282147042>It wasn't all meaningless, and he has a Youtuber wife to take care of him.That would be a sweet end.
>>282137908Wasn't one of them already with Alzheimer? And did we see Kiku's grandma before this?
>>282147381Hayato cured Ami's grandma by shouting at her like his Grandpa would do. We saw Kiku's grandma in chapter 104, when they visited her parent's house and we learned Shiragiku was Hayato's first love.
>>282147488It’s easy to forget this sometimes like when they temporarily let a princess stay at their house
So the grandmas will undo everything Fuwa did, get his cafe back, rescue him from the bribe allegations and get him his damn filters back. Hayato will have to pick all 5 girls as thanks for their help.
>>282147689Would be kind of a downer for them to save Hayato's useless ass, and then after that he just rejects the 4 of their granddaughters.
>>282146819What did you expect?
>>282138370Feels like Ouka's showing too much of her bare ass and are Ami's panties visible? She's wearing blue panties? Wait a minute, Hayato likes ass and Ouka flaunting it means she will win.
>>282148620More depressive Hayato, how the girls and Hayato would deal with their lives without the cafe. As it stands, the Grandmas will prevent all that. They might have to leave the house temporally, but it's not as big of a deal with the safety net of the grandmas. I figured at least another volume. Also, show the couple, the timeskip and them having a kid isn't enough to accept that they are a loving couple.
>>282138370Poll bait
>>282137727Rushed ending
>>282141970>>282142567But if Yotsuba is an autistic bitch while Ami is retarded.
>>282148814How?, it's been signaling for month the end was near
>>282138515I'm actually not that upset. It's a comfy but mild series without much strong emotion and romance behind it. It's now at the endgame and I really don't care who win. Overall positive time but without any long-lasting attachment
I’ll miss the way Seo writes women. He still has them act somewhat childish despite being adults which is gives it a realistic edge and makes them likable
>>282148856>is an autistic bitchShe was larping as such, but deep down she's a menhera gomennasai machine.
>>282148778> Also, show the couple, the timeskip and them having a kid isn't enough to accept that they are a loving coupleWell, for the series run it was obvious the romance angle and in general romantic moments is rather mild or meh, it's not an area of Cafee that is strong. That is why I'm not that invested in who will Hayato's bowl and not expect any proper post-confession content, it's not a series for this.
>>282137952>63 years agoHow old are they? These grannies are 80+ in the snow and have to take care of Hayato. He's being quite the burden.
this is so going to end with a inconclusive winner. We're just going to see Hayato's daughter say goodnight and a faceless "goodnight" fromt he girl
>>282146292>That said, kino potential is here.Like what? I don't really know they'll target Fuwa and the Town's Council.
Will we have time travel or crazy shit this next few chapters will be fun
>>282144498That's a good point. The regulars aren't given any prominence. Could even have more Detective Haytato with the customers asking him about their missing things and such.
>>282144130>Chapter Title: Flashing Before One's EyesWhat's flashing before one's eyes? Is someone dying? Or is it just his memories of the cafe flashing before his eyes?
>>282137844>"No matter how much I thought I was doing the right thing... I was powerless to do anything..."What right thing did he think he was doing? He cared more about being in the right, then actually changing anything?
>>282150439The cafe be believes his life is falling apart and has not real plans to make another cafe at that moment.
feels like we haven't gotten some of the usual ritual posts recently
>>282151235Okay okay...I want to smell oukas farts
>>282137768So this is how it feels to follow a long running weekly series from start to finish.
>>282151235Im mad Seo wont draw a scene of the girls being spanked even though he says he loves butts?
I love Ouka and want her to be my wife
I want to impregnate Shiragiku
>>282137563So that was a fake smile from Hayato-kun?>>282137686Why don't they call him "Master" anymore?
>>282151847Anons soon to be broken pelvis…
>>282138370>ami dead lastThey know a Yotsuba win is coming and they hate it.
wait, this is ending soon? I thought for sure we would get a full arc in the future before the end
>>282152723All the girls said no hard feelings and would want to be invited to the winner's wedding. I imagine the last chapter will be one set in the future when the daughter is middle school aged. So the second to last chapter will be Hayato's wedding? So 5 chapters to round out this arc and 1 chapter for closure and the other's dreams?
So who is winning?
>>282138370>>282146865yeah, I really don't get Kiku and Riho's placements, Kiku's honestly been the weakest character of the 5 for most of this while Riho's had a lot of solid arcs
>>282153816Doesn't matter
>>282153816Fuwa, until the Granny alliance runs him out of town.
>>282153822Riho's arcs usually feel more serious than the rest so they can be a bit off putting for people looking for a lighthearted comedy, it's like Seo wants to go full drama with her but it's barely managing to hold back
>>282138370my favorite girl is one of the black saints so I can't even get invested in the popularity contest. introducing a second group of girls after confirming that the winner was one of the first 5 has to be a blunder.
>>282154112>my favorite girl is one of the black saintswho is it?
>>282137727>>282137768I felt I would've heard about this sooner, I used to be pretty regular in the GCT discord but it's age-restricted now and I didn't feel like going through discord's verification process
>>282137485>>282137639>>282137639>>282137686Ami is the true end girl.She’s the one who brings joy and good memories to Hayato,and promises must be kept.All that’s left is this scene.
>>282139830>Was she ever anything else?Obvious winner
>>282141970>Ami, she hasn't earned it in any meaningful way. Much like Yotsuba in Quintessential QuintupletsYou just haven’t read the story.She’s the source and the driving force of the café family,and she’s the one who makes Hayato truly happy.You’re not ready for what’s coming next.
>>282154981What do you mean? I'm in the GCT discord and I didn't have to verify anything
>>282144456>Seo's days in Kodansha will be over if he dares to subvert popularity pollsLooks like someone doesn’t know Seo at all.
>>282143375>You know, I thought we'd at least get Ami realizing she's in love with Hayato before the final arc beganShe already confessed,and she’s the only one Hayato didn’t reject,both her confession and her proposal.And she’s the only one he made a future promise with.Are people reading with something other than their eyes?I don’t know,it feels like a “to nice/Tunis” thing.
>>282138370>>282143788>Who in their right mind isn’t voting for Ami in these polls?? Seeing this result will make her victory that much sweeter to seeAs long as she holds the first place in the MC’s heart,that’s what truly matters.
>>282155024really? the main channels in the discord(the release, manga and spoilers channels)) all ask for verification when I try accessing them
>>282155120Weird. Doesn't happen for me
>>282155343I've heard some sites like youtube and maybe discord have a function that tries to guess your age from your activity or something. Maybe that thing decided you were of age and that I wasn't?
>>282155056did she? It doesn't seem as clear as the others. They all tended to have a kiss with their confessions too, which made them stand out more
I'm so disappointed this scenario will never lead to any doujins/lewd art/alternate chapters
>>282155409Nah, it's just that the new UK compliant guidelines will fully get enforced by the 29th, so maybe they didn't affect you YET.
>>282137727>>282137768Guess Kimi no iru Machi's going to remain Seo's longest series
>>282151235Okay okay, wanna lick Ouka's smelly asshole 'till i get tifus.
>>282152173It's Seo's retirement manga. He'll do whatever shit he wants.
>>282153822There’s only 5 girls so some have to be lower
>>282148632He's gonna subvert expectations and make the titty monster win.
>>282155736>They all tended to have a kiss with their confessions too, which made them stand out moreIf they kissed him first, it means they lost.
>>282147488I'm pretty sure Ami's grandma got surgery sometime around "her" (really the sister's) second arc. And that went successfully
>>282155736Real girls gives CBT and have the MC feel them up in confession!
>>282156331That's just how it goes, people's standards have developed enough and far more entertainment is available than back in those days, that longer-running manga/anime are generally a thing of the past now. One piece for example would almost certainly never succeed in current day and even if it did, it would probably only go to 300 chapters max.
>>282138268>Hayato-kun, we've discovered an obscure legal loophole to save the cafe.>But in order for it to work, you literally need to become our grandson >ALL of our grandsons>Yes, that means you need to marry all 5 of our grand daughters, it's the only way.
>>282160878The way they all called him their grandson did make me think a harem ending is more likely now
>>282138370I can't be the only one who finds Oukas sudden rise to the top of the last few polls suspicious can I? Unless the anime brought in a ton of new fans that picked up the manga and almost all gravitated towards Ouka it seems odd that she could suddenly start consistently surpassing Akane like this.
>>282138370it's curious to me that they didn't post poll numbers this time
>>282161283>Poll numbers Akane wins>No poll numbers Ouka winsHmmm... We all know who editor San likes
>>282156331>Which Girl Will You Fuck!?What is this
>>282161621A question.
>>282161621kimi no iru machi mobile game.Naturally, the text's edited
>>282161283No poll numbers because the difference is too abysmal, or the poll had very little count of votes.>>282138370Also, that's not a pantyshot on Ami. That blueish color behind her butt cheeks is the inner side of the skirt. The color is similar to Ouka's skirt to the right of her butt.
>>282161162The meta around her and in stories like this is that she would win too helps her
>>282161162>>282162369Tsunderes get popular when they go full dere. And I feel like Akane has been in the background doing nothing for a while.
>>282154482la puta
>>282162503The saints really have the benefit of being written later and fit in the story well.
>>282161162Akane was supposed to be the teasing mature one but the black saints beat her at that.
>>282163180She’s was supposed to have a parallel of being the cool beauty while also being scared and immature
>>282163244>cool beauty but scared and immatureInteresting. Were they all meant to have two contrasting archetypes? I can see some:Ami: strong but childishOuka: Tsun but displays her love for the other girlsKiku: reserved but also a pervRiho: hot but cute
>>282162361>That blueish color behind her butt cheeks is the inner side of the skirt. The color is similar to Ouka's skirt to the right of her butt.Why is the inner side of the skirt a different color? Seems unnecessary, unless it's see through?
>>282164132I think Riho's contrast might be her having a sort of bratty/teasing personality while looking the youngest, but being the oldest and surprisingly concerned/involved with keep the cafe afloat
>>282164183I'd guess it's just for contrast. The skirts are already black so they need another color.Here the inside of Ami's skirt is white >>282140638
>>282161162>consistently surpassing Akane like thishas it been consistent? I thought it fluctuated a fair bitAlso, I wonder how Hayato would've done if he was in the poll?
The last memorable Akane moment I can think was when her mom got mad at her and she started acting really scared
>>282165462Breast envy is hot
>>282165462Best girl and winner
>>282165462Riho my love, once you lose the Hayatobowl you can be with me instead.
>>282155831Series isn't really popular for fanart and lewds
>>282137470More nipples when?
>>282167171few things get fan art now unless its a popular anime or a gatcha game.
>>282142691
>>282153816The harem.
>>282167171well, there's a load of AI stuff
I want Tina to be my daughter.
>>282167282never
>>282167517I'd rather have nothing.
>>282162503Did they also animate the mouthrape?
Will Ami ever play SF3?
>>282167979who would she main? Blanka's gone
>>282137470I am sad because we still don't have a Fuuka isekai.
>>282168137Necro
>>282165317Akane used to be my favorite in the beginning, but then she kept piling up loser moves. She's always trying to kiss him and be forceful, where Hayato just looks mildly annoyed. The most assertive girl never wins.
>>282167979Next series we need a girl who only plays old fighting games.
