Why would he seethe that hard about boy's abyss? Her liking the MC or not was the least of her problems and getting his dick wouldn't fix her shitty dad and self esteem issues. That was the whole point of her final character arc.

I say this but I think a lot of the character arcs in that series are kinda mishandled. But I liked the theme of hers

This.
The only characters whose issues were more emotional-related were the 2 suicidal MCs ft. the teacher (parental loss, lack of love from his family, old hag still a virgin), the rest was more about guilt and cope and shitty family environments
>>

There's a decent chance we're gonna see the sister if this is really an Okumura POV arc.

2.5d was all this time a hetero-shaming yuri manga where everybody simply gets paired with people of their same genre.

>>282209069
Nuh uh, nigger.
Why suddenly make the final arc about the CF when she isn't the MC in 1st place?
If this is a hetero-diverse manga as it had been 'till now, then this move can only come from an author who has a grudge against other series where the CF loses.
Unless this was a yuri cosplay romcom where the CF is the FeMC' s heroine and the MC was just a fucking beard and his role was reduced to be a rookie photographer and unreliable narrator, i can't make sense of how this final arc began.

Not uncommon for authors to make copefics of their OTPs disguised as original stories.

Run away during the final arc is traditionally a main heroine move, so that's pretty funny.

>>282213845
truly Mikarin is the main character of the rom com side of the story.
>>
>>282213845
That's the problem really.
If this was a regular-ass romcom Okumura would chase after Mikari, but here you can very well get Ririsa doing the chasing and again the conclusion be Mikari getting over senpai as in her life doesn't end with senpai and the ending be completely platonic with Okumura: "Yes I can fall in love with a 3d girl now", but we never get to see it".
>>
>>282215087
>Lilysa doing the chasing
Please, this is tsubaki's job.
>>
>>282215192
No, because Lilysa is the MC and she gets to do everything. Tsubaki is her future after she gets over Senpai.
>>
>>282215256
Tsubaki's going full circle on helping Okumura after he helped her. She's got the power of money on her side after all.

I don't like the average Manga's relationship with sex, is loud and quiet at the same time, you have multiple characters at the peak of their hormones thinking about it but none of them actually do it, or you get series where it happens but in a unbelievable porn-movie-way.

if it had been set during College they would have used the exam excuse, if it had been with adults they would have used the work excuse.
Too many Romcoms treat basic affection as if it was some kind of reward like you are at the end of a season pass in a Gacha game and once you got it, it has to be earned again through various turmoils, is completely uncompatible with reality except for select, unhappy couple, is the equivalent of that western meme of the woman giving task to the husband to complete in exchange for sexual favors as if it was something enjoyable only for 1 party and an hassle for the other.

There are indeed people who, through trauma have trouble accepting affection or love from others, feel themselves unworthy, but I don't think this Manga is doing a good job at portraying what it means and how to face it.

These problems are not something you solve through an ephiphany
>>282208411
Feels like the series is going into circles about this problem.
>>
>>282221943
Trauma's not something you can just magically talk your way out of. A child of divorce can have a hard time trusting that love can just work out, and for someone like Okumura, he would have been just as fine if he never met Lilysa as long as he had his manga.

But dealing with the trauma is a messy thing. To the point that the first time he'd actually be able to properly accept a confession was the last summer training arc. Because he only just started accepting the idea that he could be love and love like that this year.
Though I'm curious what examples you have of better examples of someone recovering from the trauma and learning to love?

Probably is just how much is left for the month. Japanese rent is relatively low though, a single man making the average wage roughly $1500 USD is able to be depressed, alone, and fed in an apartment while still having a smart phone and enough Strong Zero to pretend life is okay for a few hours a week.

>>282222232
Is like 5 AM so I can't think of a good sensible example, but for a silly one, even Shrek was more believable, but he was still capable of self doubt like someone with survivor's guilt whether he deserved that in 2 and 4 (ignoring 3).
I am mad that the guy has friends who are clearly open about wanting to discuss his problem but it feels like he is not allowed to open up by the deus ex machina.
ah I had even forgotten to post this.
>>
Ririsa is going to win anyway.
>>
>>282223916
its still a toss up
>>
>>282223916
She already did, but her relationship with Okumura is and will stay platonic. Mikari's was romantic, but the author at the last minute: threw a wrench into everything with: "Mikari is Mikari even without senpai" so we can have her doubt her feelings. Okumura still not getting over his issues doesn't help. They'll probably end up as a couple, but before that we need to get her a goal/ dream that is different from Senpai, since that obviously wasn't healthy.
>>
Let me praise the author first, because it is hard to come this late into a manga with multiple love interests, and not have an decisive advantage set in stone just waiting to crush all others, being able to keep Lylisa at platonic but maybe not really distance and have Mikarin get a chance is quite a feat.
>>
>>282216380
She'll win a rich hot blonde lesbian wife.
>>
>>282208531
Yeah,she would win
>>
I still believe in harem end.
>>
>>282225029
>She already did, but her relationship with Okumura is and will stay platonic
And you say this, based on what? There sure is a lot of coping about the fact that Okumura's journey into getting past his issues has been primarily thanks to Ririsa. As soon as he finds the confidence to ask a 3D girl out, guess which one has been there for him at every steps of the way? That's right, Ririsa. Hell, even if he never gets past his 2D phase, guess which girl has been the 2.5 exception he's been debating himself about the entire manga? That's Ririsa again.
>>
>>282226011
I would only abide by this if the Harem includes Mayuri (her gf is welcome too). Go big or go home, none of that wishy washy shit.
>>
>>282226044
>based on what?
Based on her own words, when she "confessed" and on Mayura's observation that their relationship was perfect from the start.

The only reason Ririsa would win is because she is the MC and is designed to win. Her winning makes about as much logical sense as 753 winning.
>>
>>282228302
The comment about Ririsa and Okumura being perfect just the way they are seems like they will stay platonic.
Mw Mikarin's story was built around her unresolved feelings for Okumura.
>>
>>282226121
get Nagomi in and you got a deal.
>>
>>282208296
A great testament to how shafted he got:
Every time Ririsa has exams, even midterms it's a fan service festival of sex.
MC has college entry exams it barely gets a mention. We still don't know his dream or even his major. Not that we know what Marina studies.
>>
>>282230222
Ririsa is the real MC. He's just a side character.
>>

Okumura wouldn't recieve the same benefit from fanservice festival though, in fact it'd be more detrimental especially in cosplay.

The idea we don't know much about Okumura's own personal motivation stems from the general generic protagonist in this genre, but like everyhing in this series, we're probably gonna get that explored in an arc (or rather this arc).
>>
>>282226121

How many chapters do you think are left in the series at this point? Probably 11 or so if this is one final arc.

>>282232674
it’s a high possiblity, depending on how it plays out. The field has been cleared for someone to get confessed to.
>>
I wonder if we’re gonna get the haircut for Mikari this arc
>>
Mikarin has this weird development cheat code in that she as the original main girl during development, but was demoted. Also the "seduction" in the title still refers to her according to the author, although the Lilisa no longer does.
>>
>>282234685
Fuck, she has to get one, so that she looks less like like Liliel, so that if Okumura confesses it isn't a repeat of Marina.
>>
>>282226605
>>282226654
So a second hand observation by a (fallible) character? Got it. This last arc will serve for Mikarin to move on, but she will help Okumura and Ririsa to get their heads out of their assess and realize they do want to advanced their relationship in the process. It really is that predictable.
>>
Oh boy another "romance actually starts 5 chapters before the end" how original.
