Chapter 91 RawsKmanga delayed translations for another week sadly
Kinda nice seeing Buuki getting BTFO so hard after belittling their feelings like a massive jackass. The girls should be wearing the pants in this manga.
Shitty incompetent company ruining my day with no official translations this week
>>282493064It'd be one thing if the chapter was hard to TL but it's quite easy. Maybe he overslept.
>>282492908The girls have awakened after seeing Bucky so flustered.
>>282492885>>282492842>Hey Arisu~>Would it be okay to call you that too?I'd pop a stiffy in that situation. Hopefully Arisu is a better man than me.
Just put the pages in ChatGPT or Gemini and tell it to translate them
Is this enjoyable enough for its romance aspect, I'm looking for something like Nisekoi and I'm already on Himaten
>Shinobu and Rikka jealous of Nene and already trying to imitate herAll the girls confirmed inferior to Nene
>>282493064>>282493099What, so are we gonna be permanently 1 week behind?
>>282493521Significantly better. The protag isn't dense but he is an asshole. Also he doesn't lose his personality like most harem protags do. The girls are okay too.
>>282493608There's a break next week so chapter 92 is in 2 weeks
>>282493610Thank you.
>>282493521It's decent enough, the main issue is the lack of any progress and MC can be too much of a comedic relief character, there's the mystery girl angle too but by this point is clear the author made the mystery to be unsolvable so we're just waiting for the flashback reveal to happen
>>282492908The most intense blush Bucky has shown, he is weak to asmr
>>282493031I thought this was supposed to be an Iko chapter.
>>282493610Wrong image
>first name basis autismWhen will this nonsense end?I do agree with >>282493275 though. Forget blushing, i'd be unable to walk properly
>>282493904>ugh, why is my anime bullshit like, sooo anime bullshit?>couldnt they just be normal like us, and write some goddamn western romance that we all love?
>>282492396SEXOSEXOSEXOSEXOBut they are missing Lemon.
>>282492511Nukes dropped!
>>282492647Lemon spotted!>>282492745At least he's not that dense.>>282492778So he's aware his name is a girl's name.
>>282492908They broke him!
>>282493031>They skipped Iko's arcIs this reversed favoritism?Is she being portrayed as the underdog so her arc is more impactful?Is Iko just zannen?I can't tell if it's good or bad.
>>282494620pitywin incoming
>>282494620Rikka stole it. So it could be reversed Iko favoritism, or just straight Rikka favoritism that victimized Iko.
Iko was already calling him Arisu back when they were acting to get a rise out of Nene and he didn’t have any sort of reaction to that at all. It’s so over for Iko.
>>282493596I mean, they already caught up. The only inferior is Iko at the moment.
>>282492511MINDBROKEN
>>282494025Thank you for shitting on that retard
>>282492396oh my god, the dump anon is also the translator?!
>>282492908double asmr nursing handjob....
>>282492885>double asmr attackBoner-inducing
>>282492842>>282492885
>>282494620>I can't tell if it's good or bad.First harem?, this is just Ichika, Nino and Miku ruining the class trip once again
>>282493031>arisu-kunShinobu....
>>282493610>he is an assholehe is?
>>282494924kek
>>282494812Have you seen the dump anon and the translator at the same time?>>282494966In a good way.
there is no reason to discard a harem ending.
>>282492885>>282492908>>282492942>>282493031He never really cared about names before,but with Shinobu it’s different.When she doesn’t let him call her by her first name,it actually bothers him,and when she’s the one saying his name he just loses it. You don’t see that with Iko,Nene or Rikka. Only with Shinobu.>>282492975He even blushes way harder with Shinobu,like twice as much. She’s the one that really short-circuits him. Pretty sure the only other time he lost it that bad was when he saw her in a swimsuit.
>>282493521>Is this enjoyable enough for its romance aspectThere's little to no romance in this manga even by harem standards
>>282493596>>Shinobu and Rikka jealous of Nene and already trying to imitate her>All the girls confirmed inferior to NeneThat’s gotta be a joke.If there’s one girl who’s jealous,it’s Nene.She always has to do everything in secret and act sneaky,total coward.He doesn’t even react to her.The others do it way better than she ever could,that’s why she’ll always be the loser.
>>282495061OH NONOONNONONONdelete this, nenefags meltdown in 3 2 1
>>282495264SHE'S THE ONLY ONE WHO RECEIVED A GIFT >>282492443 >>282492475shinobukeks are getting DESPERATE
He's talking to himself again
>>282495258>>282495264>chases Nene around and is obsessed with getting her attention Your feat is palpable.
If shinobu whispered in my ear about wanting to be on a first name basis, I might just dissolve into a cum puddle on the spot. Bucki is made of sterner stuff, even if they were straining his limiters.
I AM MADLY IN LOVE WITH IKO...!!!!!!
>>282492511This is Nene's Fuu-kun moment!
>>282495376SuppaFahnu071...
>>282495376Arisu...
>>282492975He can't take much more of this. These harlots are going to kill this boy by making his heart give out at this point.
>>282494620>>282494682>Is this reversed favoritism?>Rikka stole it.So it could be reversed Iko favoritism,or just straight Rikka favoritism that victimized Iko.If there’s favoritism,it’s definitely not with Iko or Rikka.It’s Nene.She keeps getting forced fanservice and screentime,even in this chapter,right after her own solo one.And this chapter was supposed to be about Shinobu and Rikka.>>282494689>Iko was already calling him Arisu back when they were acting to get a rise out of Nene and he didn’t have any sort of reaction to that at all. It’s so over for Iko.He doesn’t care about names at all,either calling someone by their first name or being called that way.But once you add Shinobu to the equation,he loses all control.That’s the effect only she has on him.Iko is the one who’ll get a mini-arc here,and she’ll be the one to close this arc out in style.
>>282495061I think it's more the way she said it, like >take me (out)which is more suggestive
>>282492942>>282492975>Shinobu makes him blush the hardest by farWe are WINNING. Nene lost her advantage so fast it's hilarious.
>>282495626the loser competition.
>>282495626>thinking tummy slut was ever not going to winSuch a lack of conviction
>>282492396See anime team? Iko has red eyes. Your excuse of changing it?
>>282494620Not getting involved in the meaningless cunt contest is a good thing. Not to mention Buki was at least an Iko original nickname she keeps using while the rest just bombards him with sudden Arisu mentions.
>no translation >the thread will be even more deader than usual:-:
>>282492414>>282492443>>282492475>>282492511Nene is cute.
>>282496000watch the shinobuschizo talk to himself with a fake argument for hours
>>282493031>Yamabuki Arisu's first loss>Kirino-san turned into a squid
First time not being here to dump on release in like a year and they postpone the chapter to let me do it next week anyway. I appreciate the concern Kodansha but this is not it
>>282496492liarbecause i had to dump one time when you didn't show up!!!!
>>282495600Slutnobu
>>282496129>not liking the author shoving Shinobu down our throats and appreciating that other characters exists means you are mentally ill
>>282492396gato...
>>282492511>>282492545Anyone else notice Rikka is quick to jealousy? During him selecting Shinobu for the play left her in a tizzy and Iko taking that picture with him made her seethe.
>>282496782Poor girl got stolen of her chapter by 3 first name base harlots...
>>282496547I'm pretty sure the last time I missed was mid-January because of an exam, so yeah more like 7 monthsI'll have to miss a few more times in November/December anyway because of winter time fucking me over. Hope you'll be there to do it then if you can
>>282493031I'm barely in love with that cat... tako blob?
>>282493031Iko looks drunks or she had a hell of an orgasm.
>>282494963She's prom and proper not scandalous like the others.
>>282492396Iko paizuri
>>282492545>even the plushie is scaredKek
>>282497730She's in heat hot bath dakeni
>>282497751Snekobu is a iteral slut >>282495600
>>282492396>>282497756>FAT CAT TATSFake news.
>>282498006Shinobu isn't a snake. No girl. No girl has kneecapped another. No girl has tried to manipulate him.
>>282498069Shinobu literally tried to kill Nene. You cannot trust prim and proper girls, you cannot expect what they do next.
>>282498185She only wanted to help Nene. She wasn't being jealous.
>>282498206Yeah im sure she wanted to "help". She's a good girl after all
>>282498287She's a cock starved gremlin that does not care about her """dream""" and only wants to be some guys fuck toy. She doesn't even love him.
>>282493099The author's been complaining on twitter about his health issues, which might have led to delays on both the Japanese and English sides. Could just be that they couldn't get the chapter to the translation team on time. We're not even getting chapter 92 in Japan next week.
>>282492396this is the first time Iko mogs everyone when it comes to clothing and making proper use of her assets
Please sit on my face Rikka...
>>282498185wtf shinobu is evil
>>282498185jesus christ. How can anyone defend her, let alone ROOT for SHITnobu?!
Gentle reminder that Shinobu is a venomous viper who is willing to murder her friends over the cock.
>two of the school bombshells get off to teasing the boy they have a crush on after seeing his shy and flustered reaction
>>282500797As expected of a Yamabuki's wife-to-be.
>>282493031Will Iko get avenged next chapter?
>>282502388No, iko drowned and everyone forgot about her
>>282502423Rest in fish, Iko-chan!
There's 1-2 chapters left till the end of Volume 11. Iko has 2 chances to do something significant to end off the Volume of this arc.
>Iko gets completly cockblocked from this chapterLMAO
I want to see Iko bluescreen, after she hears all the girls call him "Arisu".Also fuck of Shinobu, unless he can call you Uzuki, you have no right to "Arisu".
>>282500797Good, that means she's clever planner. Perfect wife for Arisu.
>>282502717True, she'll fit in perfectly with a top performer family.
>>282496822And she knows it. She tries to act like big sister and team leader, but the moment something doesn't goes her way...
>This week's Mayotu was clearly a dig at the Quintessential Quintuplets, and I was honestly shocked. He blatantly made Nene attack him faster than him because he'd been calling her "Nino Nino" so many times, and then he even took a jab at Miku with a parody of "self-conscious guy." It was an element that was criticized back then, so I don't think it's a bad thing, but it was really bad manners.I still don't see it.
>>282492414>>282492443>>282492475>>282492511>>282492545>Nene keeps winningIt's girls, don't try it. She has the high ground.
>>282502829>nene keeps winningI haven't seen her make Arisu nut in his pants just from talking to him. Nene is weak
>>282496000Can't be worse than Shittka centric chapter.
>>282502909Nene hasnt whispered in his ears like Shinobu and Rikka who did it at the same time making him super vulnerable. The author is waiting for the right time to have Nene seductively surprise whisper in his ear and realize it sounds just like Apollo at that time when they spoke with the string phone.
>>282502598kissu arisu TRUST
>>282502598Iko will do nothing. Arisu will have to come and make her rape him.
>>282503045I bet that will be the red herring, where she'll be trying to muster up the courage to do something. And then sneak up on a scene where Shinobu/Rikka/Nene is tongue raping him. And that will be the volume cliffhanger
>>282493099>It'd be one thing if the chapter was hard to TL but it's quite easy.It is? Give me the translation and I can edit the text in.
>>282503116Nah its fine, no need to do it. We can all wait next week besides we essentially know what happens based off the raws anyways
Iko didn't join this chapter because she'll keep calling him Bucky.
>>282502813Who are you quoting?
>>282503683>>282459503
>>282502717Arisu wouldn't want a murderer as a wife.
>>282492396what the FUCK, where's my tl!?i can't have my mayonaka time like this...
Arisu lost. It's over for real this time. Mangaka even titled the chapter, 'his first loss'
>>282504135I'm making an English typeset currently, about halfway done. Not sure how much longer it'll take cause I'm slow
>>282504580thanks anon, you're the best
>>282504580There's literally no need. It's not like there's a chapter next week anyway.
>>282504700I know we're getting the translation next week, it's just so we can have something for now even if it's not great
>>282504700i NEED it i hate my job and the only thing that i look forward to on tuesdays is mayonaka
>>282504700I appreciate anon's efforts to provide something before the thread dies. Even if there is no real rush
I sincerely don't see how Rikka can pull out a win. As anon pointed out it feels like she's quick to put on a brave fast, but even quicker at folding under pressure.
Fun red herring. In >>282492683, Shinobu laughs by saying>えへへ やったぁand then in the flashback in >>282492778, Apollo laughs by saying>えへへ やったぁIt's not unlikely enough of a coincidence to be actual evidence for anything, but the fact that he had the two characters laugh in the exact same way mere pages apart means that it was probably intended for the reader to pick up on this.
>>282505798excellent work detective anon
>>282494812Holy crap they are. The one time they say they won't be able to dump, the translation doesn't come out. They ran out of time this week.
sounds like another mystery for me and my dog to solve.
>>282502813It might be a stretch. But maybe it's the idea that no one bothered to go look for her. She's just been off in her own thoughts by herself and everyone was preoccupied with their own goings on.
>>282505798Why do you do this to yourself, anon?
>>282502813That was a comment about the previous chapter, Nene played hard to get like Nino and then mock MC for thinking she like him like Miku
>>282505798Just because Shinobu isn't Apollo doesn't make every similarity between her and Apollo a red herring. For something to be a red herring it needs to be an obviously intentional misdirection, like when Rikka brings up stuff related to the word "Apollo" for no reason.
I ask you, for what sins are we being punished for and deprived tummy service?
sex with mayotunas
>>282506969Sin of lust, obviously
>>282492511> arisu> fuu-kunoh no nenibros...
>>282507115Shant be believing this nonsense.
I'll still dump the real TL when it releases next week, this is just in the meantimeFeel free to correct any mistake, there probably are some
nenibros...
>arisuI've been calling him Alice in my head.
>>282507582Well it seems like that's the way he romanized it in his ID too >>282507487
Good Lord...Something about this chapter was incredibly sensitive. Thanks for taking the time to translate, typeset and dump friend.
Thanks for translating. why did the author cuck Iko like this. it isn't fair!
>>282507328>>282507307he's so obsessed with her it's not even funny anymore
>>282507634ikuck....
>>282507634poor lil yamabuki boy not so confident and smug now after having his purity stolen from him.
>>282492396Well I won't stay long since I don't want to be spoiled, but Rikka looks really good in Red. I like the boob shield on Shinobu's dress, she can even pull off green. I think I prefer Nene in black and white over color, she looks a bit babyish to me in a bad way, maybe it's the color of her dress. Iko's very lewd and the cat ears look good on her. Her boobs also look bigger. I kinda wish Shinobu had a different theme color than green though. What color do you think would suit her?
>>282507904It's Nene calling him Arisu is what ended up killing him.It seems like she wasn't attacking him like the other 2.
>>282508837You’re right, the first two were purposefully teasing him. Nene came in with the surprise unintended attack.
nino won?
Thank you translator/typesetter anon, you are helping to keep my day from being ruined. This is another example of how useless most scanlation groups are.
>>282509993nino was robbed
Is 5tobun that good or is it just a meme, seeing how you guys keep mentioning it makes me want to try and read it, but it's so boring I can't get past chapter 5.
>>282507288>We're gonna maka fun of Iko not having a date two weeks in a rowKek.
>>282510321I liked the first half (maybe 3 quarter) a lot.
>>282510409Thanks, I can't get over how stiff he drew the characters and how the MC is as a whole, but I'll try again.
>>282510409>3 quarter>I liked it until Yots became the obvious winnerNinikek detected
>>282510321Say what you want you can't deny the quality of the first 50 chapters of toubun
>>282510702thats what when it was still monthly, right? still yeah those 50 or so chs were pretty good, for me it was around ch 60 that I started to lose faith in the manga
>>282510924It was always a weekly manga.Not sure where you got the idea that it was ever monthly.
>>282511039mindbroken ninikeks
>>282510321It was amazing with great plot twists, teasing and mystery, up to the point when author picked the least likely winner because "Hur dur mah subversion".
>>282510102Nino deserved to win, because she changed the most for the better.
>>282511055Ninibros...
>>282511055In conclusion, Iko will win.
>>282511072also she was the cutest
>>282507634Thanks for your efforts, anon.
>>282507328very cute nene
>>282503862Unless the plot twist is, that he's from a mafia family.
>>282510321You had to be there.
>>282510321Its a classic, that set standards for romcoms for decades to come.
Shittka is do shit, that even combined powers of Nene and Shinobu cant stom this thread from dying...
Nene in the lead, Iko not even part of the race anymore.
>>282511670Do we eve know if Iko has romantic feelings for Buckey?
>>282507288Very cute Nene.>>282507359Lmao, still making excuses while half a room away from them already in the last panel.
>>282511821She told Rikka, that she's in love with him.
>>282507612>>282507634Poor Nene unwittingly delivered the killing blow.>>282507975She is getting the big climax of this arc, not going to be surprised if it includes a kiss, hope its worth at least 2 chapters like the other 3 got, or actually BE 2 chapters long, if not more.
>>282511904Nene and Rikka are yet to say it.The earliest to fall was Shinobu.
>>282507345>>282507328shes so fucking CUTE bwosshe has to win
>>282507359What's wrong Rikka... AFRAID?!
>>282507328>>282507288>girl gets a stuffed animal that looks like the MCMy favorite trope.
>>282507378Rikka and Shinobu finally figured out that Nene is a thieving cat and likes Arisu.
>>282512441How is she a thieving cat when none of them are going out with him?
>>282507520>Rikka and Shinobu ear whisperThis shouldn't be this exciting...
>>282512521He belongs to Apollo
>>282512546nene is apollo
I love how Arisu completly loses it, kek.
Bump for Rikka.
I would like to meet Rikka fans, and ask them what they like about her. But then I realized, they dont exist.
>>282507634thanks for the dump anonwhat a nice way to start my wednesday
>>282492511Rikka has some yandere eyes there
>>282493031Iko is getting sidelined so hard, is not fair IS NOT FAIR
>>282493610I wouldnt call Arisu an asshole and more egocentric, that indeed, keeps being egocentric even this far in the series instead of losing his personality. Honestly not sure if I would have kept up with the serie is Bucky wasnt this fun of a character, the way he tard wrangle the girls is incredibly funny but also believable on why they would fall for him.
>>282514602She hasn't had her solo chapter with Bucky yet, trust the plan.
>>282507393He even rambles over a buffet, damn it bucky
>>282507434True bros
>>282507520I really wonder how the anime will adapt such scenes, since this is all about the voice
This chapter boosts Iko’s chances and I’m not even shitposting
>>282507634This was a fun chapter thanks for the hard work anonBut man, Nene is getting soo ahead, the last chapter and delivering the killing blow on this one, by mere change too.
Damn the way Yamabuki melt after Shinobu called him by his name is something else. Rikka used it like 2 times in a row and he blushes Shinobu called him only one time and the dude melt. He didn't react like that with Nene in the previous chapter. He was also like "you're too close" while talking to Shinobu/Rikka and right before Nene told him the exact same thing when while he was fine. It's like Rikka or Shinobu had the same effect Arisu had on Nene.And still no Iko. She was shopping but the way Yamabuki hasn't talked abt her once even tho he already ran into her while she looked down makes it really hard me to feel invested in her big upcoming chapters
So, what is even there to discuss next week if everyone here already read the unofficial version? I doubt the official version will be that different.
>>282515306For this scene specially? They could do it so his heartbeat and white noise is so loud that it blocks out their voices but gives the intended effect of showing him being embarrassed and aroused
>>282515314Shes such a Yotsuba, isn't she?
>>282515707How Nene is avenging Nino.
Nene this! Nene that! Just admit it! You all love Nene!
>>282515859...but does Nene love us?
>>282515908Nene would be disgusted with almost all the people here.
I'm not really seeing the Iko/Yotsuba comparisons. While Yotsuba was a 'dark horse', by chapter 90 there were plenty of hints that the mc liked her. One of those hints happened early on, like in ch. 30 something when Futaro agreed to go on a date with her while avoiding the other 2 sisters. I don't think Arisu ever shown that kind of favoritism towards Iko even after 90 chs.
>>282516147I don't see any parallel outside of there being a mystery element and the MC trying to get all the girls to improve at something for their future. I think it's a fool's errand to compare them and requires too much slamming of square pegs into circular holes.
>>282515314You arent shitposting, you are coping
>>282516147It’s pretty early on that he realizes he might favor yotsuba but pushes those feelings down. Like within the first dozen or so chapters. I wonder if we’ll get a cliffhanger for the volume where he’s admitting that he can’t act on his romantic feelings while they’re still in school or something
>>282516235>Like within the first dozen or so chapters.>guy likes the only one who was nice to him at first the bestShocking.
>>282512728He would have probably lectured them again about the foolishness of love if he didnt remember that little bit with Apollo, and remember they all are supposed to resemble Apollo's voice somehow, and he had 2 of them calling him at the same time, it was too much for Bucky maiden heart
>>282516266Shinobu and Rikka seeing the chink in his armor and tripling down on it as hard as they could was absolute kino. Good payoff against his usual personality
>>282516147I dunno...
>>282516323I see what you’re trying to get at with the parallel of the swing scene and yotsuba being happy for fuutarou being unabashedly happy. But I still think it’s a stretch
>>282516235Maybe it's too soon for that. But He might finally realize instead that his feelings for Apollo were real. He's still in denial about that but he just remembered how his younger self thought about Apollo and him sounded like lovers after hearing Rikka and Shinobu.
>>282516298This situation would probably hadn't hit as hard as it did if Bucky had lost his personality long ago like many harem prota do, this is why Bucky is a great MC
>>282516323I'm not seeing it ? He looks at his friend enjoying a show and decided not to bother her. He didn't even blushes while looking at her. It's nice of him but it doesn't make her look special to him
If Nene doesn't win I will burn the author's house...
Iko is Apollo but Shinobu will win.
>>282515707we'll compare translations and dogpile on that poor anon
>>282517528Do we need to be that sadistic?
I would never be mean to anon...
>>282515707To hung out with friends, and shittalk Shittka. :3
>>282516353Yeah because the importance of that scene was Futaro reaction which was the first (and last time) he laughed like that. Yamabuki is being friendly with Iko but at this point, he was already like this with the other 3.
>>282518332Absolutely.
>>282516147Futaro avoided the 2 sisters because he chose to study instead of taking the day off with one of them. But his sister told him that he should thank Yotsuba instead given she helped him and it's that kind of holiday. So she went with Yotsuba AFTER he gave a reason why he wouldn't go with the other 2. Favoritism here came thanks to his sister pressuring him into this, not Futaro picking her from a 3 way choice.Arisu doesn't have Iko favoritism so far, but Iko's character has elements that if she is Apollo, could lead to the lolikano style of writing. Basically, he will appreciate Iko for doing Iko and being casual instead of being a tryhard 24/7. Although toubun wrote this aspect piss poorly cause Futarou throughout the manga complained about Yotsuba antics, but he magically reevaluated his opinion before the choice and saw her in an entirely different light. Iko made herself clear with the song, which is much more concrete than Yotsuba doing a pseudo-confession but claiming support for everyone. So the idea is in Arisu's head that Iko has feelings for her, now Iko just has to act like her usual self and endure the waiting game till Buki initiates something. This would be a recipe. Some sad Iko flashback without spoiling Apollo could actually cement this direction.
Mascotblob sisters, is this true?
>>282519539Right now Iko also has a lot of "first" that could either work on her favor or if the author follows conventional harem writing could also spell her doom. So far she was the first one he actually managed to start working with towards her dream/career, and get some small wins, the first to actually open up to Bucky as a friend of the 4 given Bucky initial just forcing himself into the club, the outing on that concert was really just 2 friends hanging out that could easily make Bucky feel far more comfortable with her, but then we also have that flash forward, usually on other harems, that basically a death sentence since is just a way for the author to show any particular girl can still be happy even if they failed the romance race, since is the winner that tends to get that final flashfoward showing her together with MC.
>>282518567What friends?
>>282520324We are, all of us, friends here pal.
>>282520295>since is the winner that tends to get that final flashfoward showing her together with MC.Name ten examples where the losers got flashforwards but the winner didn't until after winning
>>282520295The flashforward happened, but it used Ikon Sumeragi. You have Apollo, Ikon Sumeragi, Hat Girl and Nene. Only Nene's full future form got a design so far.
>>282520295Sure she was first but I don't know what that will help her. In QQ, most of the girls were hostile to Futaro which is why Yotsuba being the first nice to be nice to him stood out. But a part from Nene the other girls were pretty cool with Arisu as well. Plus the girls doing something first doesn't mean that it touched the mc more. Like for instance Iko was the first to call him Arisu but he didn't react much. As for the date, it was cute but Yamabuki is still comfortable with the other girls. He had an uni date with Shinobu as well and said something "out if the 4 she's the one he wanted to go with the most". Sure you can interpret it as both being top class students but that could also mean that he likes to spend time with her the most (even if he wasn't aware of it). He could have told something similar to make her stood out but he didn't.
>>282521283>Like for instance Iko was the first to call him Arisu but he didn't react much.Uh-oh. This would be such a Futaro POV moment in retrospect. Like when he closed his eyes when Yotsuba changed in front of him with no reaction whatsoever, but it became a treasured moment later. Iko's casual confession recently also met with a stoned reaction, although she got her ice cream. It's cheap I know, but don't cross out a writer using the hack method of portraying something entirely differently as a flashback POV when the original scene had zero implications.
>>282522027Oh God. I thought of a possibility where the writer redraws several Iko cats from Arisu's POV to human Iko and it will showcase the cutest reactions ever that casually won him over.
Ikofans are the most delusional people I've ever seen.
>>282522027The only cheap blush Negi added was when she confessed at the very beginning and that was hidden but there weren't more after that. The moments you mentioned became treasured memories for him because they happened in a specific context - like changing in front of him and trusting him enough to do so. In specific day -, the whole date where Futaro enjoyed himself with her and even came back to the park. While Yamabuki pretending to be a couple with Iko to trick nene doesn't have the same weight for instance.
>>282522765Its just "expectations subverted!" talk, stop being overly dramatic.Rikka and Shinobu are the favorites on the frontline.Iko is the dark horseNene is the 100% guaranteed loser.
>>282507634Feels like Iko has been sidelined hard for a bit
>>282522992Literally the Yotsuba play
>>282522912Rikka? Since when? And Nene did gain a lot of points recently.
>>282523485Rikka has the first girl card and the first 30 or so chapters have plenty of Rikka. First moment outside the club is also a Rikka concert and not the Nene mini arc.
>>282522596The idea is cute but the audience would feel left out because they wouldn't have seen those reactions and how they gradually won Yamabuki over making it harder to warm up to the idea Iko/Yamabuki
Shinobukeks are getting desperate
>>282523734yep, the othergirlsfags would definitely be screeching about retcon or asspulling or whatever
>>282523966Nah, we're good. Nene might have gained some ground, but still not enough. And Rikka and Iko don't even matter.<sweats>
Rikka has never mattered.
>>282524278...w...where's Nene...?!
NENE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!PLEASE WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>282524346Someone has to take the photo
>>282522912Rikka and Shinobufags got so cocky, it’s going to be funny watching them seethe when the obvious red herrings lose
>>282524043Then again one of the complaints people had against Yotsuba winning was that it "came out of nowhere" because they didn't see the romance between them so i'm not sure making Yamabuki fall in love with Iko as a cat just to reveal at the end that Iko was making cute expressions that won Yamabuki over while the readers only saw a cat shape is going to be received better
>>282524440Don't worry, I'm switching teams to Nene.
>>282522912Your tears will be delicious once Nene wins
>>282522912>Iko the dark horse>Shinobu a frontrunnerThe funny thing is that everyone was mocking Shinobu for just panicking and doing nothing before, to the point that if anything, Shinobu was the dark horse due having nothing going for her, how things change once the author actually gave her some damn spotlight
nenecord im nyoooticing
>>282524692Fr. Like people thought she was going to be the losing shy heroine because she strugglies to ask Yamabuki out in ch like..30. Idk why people obsessed with the ones making their move first and see them as winning so early on when harems are supposed to give the winner more focus as the story goes on not right away
>>282523186Iko has way too many interactions by now to be a yotsuba, the problem with yotsuba is that she got soo little moments with Futaru that her win felt without build up, while the rest of the quints had more build up and were the ones that everyone was rooting because of that, Iko has been getting the short end of the stick recently, but she already quite a handful of flags to her name.
Pictured: a perfect woman.
So his name is Alice? Wtf why would his parents do that.
>>282524843At this point is just people riding the rollercoaster that harems are and hyping every little thing, honestly is part of the fun, the problem is when the more obsessive anons take it personally, but those tend to be animeonlyfags most of the time, mixed among all the memeshitposters
>>282507288>>282507328>>282507345We can officially make fun of those retards that think Nene doesn't like Yamabuki now.
>Alice is a boy with a girl’s name>Apollo is a girl with a boy’s name
>>282525101ArisuMiyuki is also a feminine name, yet think of Shirogane Miyuki. Somehow they think a female name for a boy is cute or acceptable if they use some fancy kanji.
>>282524692Shinobu has been called the Miku here since her first arc revealed her self-esteem issues and she's been following that route ever since
>>282525427One Shinobutard insists on that only. Don't you fucking dare suggesting it's a consensus, cause it's just one random tard forcing the idea over and over again.
>>282525519>Everyone who disagrees with me is the same person!!
>>282525294You think apollo is gonna be endgame ?
>>282523485>>282524440>>282524610>>282524692I will explain my stance. Rikka emits main girl energy, from the way she was introduced in the first chapter to her aloof and "cool" nature, so she is the favorite.Shinobu has that 2nd girl style, the "nice girl" type, and the clearest in love but extremely passive, the most common 2nd place girl and loser, but also the 2nd most common winner when the author is feeling "daring", so she is the 2nd favorite.Iko is the dark horse because while she feels like a side-character/lesser harem member, she has that "Yotsuba" vibe of being so out of the race that it might "subvert expecations" and that isnt just from this arc, its ever since the start of the manga.Nene is 100% loser because like Iko she has that "filler" harem member energy to her but unlike Iko she is too pushy and has too much focus to be like a winner, she is the typical loser in everything about her, from personality, to color, to hairstyle, to interests. A character like her never wins in this day and age.
shinobu > rikka > irrelevant NPC ico > trash > nene
not even worth a (you)
>>282525653>shinobu > rikka > irrelevant NPC ico > trash > nene>lemonFix that for you.
>Muh subversionIgarashi isn't Negi, nor is he good enough of a writer to pull off something like that.
>>282525625Give me at least 3 examples for Rikka and Shinobu where that was the case
>>282524692Changing the narrative I see. Shinobu had major winning girl flags especially with all the mystery aura she had. She was never a dark horse. Do you even know what that is? Everyone and their mother feared her spotlight cause she looks like most of the winning heroines the writer made in the past, so she can just do nothing and invalidate everything the other heroines did. Some classics involve>Shinobu is either Apollo or knows Apollo cause of the message in the sports festival>Arisu will only call Shinobu in her given name in the wedding hence th writer delaying it and making it a promise>Shinobu won a toy ring that foreshadows her becoming the real bride>Shinobu showing her bikini is what caused Arisu to pass out, not the sunglight>Shinobu won't lose cause she will go to the same university as Arisu and the writer is not that cruel>Arisu picked Shinobu as her partner for the school play>Arisu went on a date with Shinobu after he banned romance activities in the club
>lemon at the bottom Shant even humor this thing. Yamabuki is her property by right.
>>282525625 Yotsuba felt like she was "out of the race" for the people who were mostly rooting for other girls. She had a growing fanbase that kept pilling up hints about her being the bride ever since her fake confession which happened really early on the serie. Iko never had scenes strong as that, not even after 90 chapters which is why her winning is ties to her being apollo.
>>282525994>Yotsuba felt like she was "out of the race" for the people who were mostly rooting for other girlsand weren't paying attention
>>282525944But she's undesirable even in universe. Only creep Sanjome wants her.
>>282525573Only one tard brought it up, but nice try. Even when the Miku comparison was made several times, only hours later did one persistant anon felt the need to say Shinobu is the Miku of the work. He went awfully quiet ever since Shinobu went proactive and Iko has confidence issues. If anything proto art should have been telling. Igarashi designed Iko with HEADPHONE accessory in mind.
>>282525625> her aloof and "cool" natureShe hasn’t been like that for awhile now
>>282525944lemon should've had a DELICIOUS flat chest
>>282525885Rikkabros, are we in danger?
>>282525944What now? You gonna tell me Lemon IS Apollo?
>>282525619To be blunt I used to really hate the usage of the name “Apollo” by a girl thinking it was typical ignorance of other cultures but now I’m more willing to forgive it since it seems to have been intentional gender swap on the author’s part.
>>282525857Not 100% fits but what came to mind was>white album 2>bakemonogatari>franxxThough it did remind me of a Nene-like girl win, so i guess its not 100% impossible for her, but the general rule is that if the tsundere is not the main/1st girl like say nisekoi, her chance of winning is zero.>>282525994I stopped reading at some point but from what i've read she had no signs of winning, but if you say so.>>282526142She tries to even if the author likes to make her fail.
>>282526247So far>Apollo is a male name while Bucky's name is romanized as Alice usually a girls name>Apollo has a moon motif and did her podcast late at night, contrast to Apollo being a god of the sun, yet it was the little Sun for young Arisu>Apollo had trouble deciding her future and what she wanted to pursue while Arisu basically had his own set as the heir of his familyWhat other contrast did 2 have?
>>282526201She still has the first girl card and the fact you could always say she flaunted being Apollo to Arisu's face.
>>282525994>Iko felt like she was "out of the race" for the people who were mostly rooting for other girls. She had a growing fanbase that kept pilling up hints about her being Apollo ever since her fake confession which happened really early on the serie.
>>282526233>he hasn't been keeping track of the clues and following the stringsEven my dog can see through this mystery
>>282526247That's interesting. Meanwhile Shinobu is name that can be used by either sex
>>282526464Your dog is ugly as a sin that tried to kill when you sleep
>>282526548Don't get pissy at me just because you can't elevate your taste and standards. That's for you to figure out.
I'm in love with Nene.
We know Arisu
>>282528332You will delete this
>>282507288>>282507307>>282507328Does the seal really look like him? His eyes and brows don't default to a stern look like that. Looks more like a face Iko would make. I guess Yamabuki is a guy with eyes that are both dignified and yet full of sorrow judging by his past and history with Apollo.>>282507359Even the seal was scared of Rikka, a face that perfectly fits Iko.
>>282507393>First we start with some pickles and tea...>Is he a Kappa?>Are you preparing an offering for the spirits or something?What do Kappas have to do with pickles and tea? Do spirits appreciate pickles and sea left by their shrines?
>>282507328Looks like he can see beyond her tsun.
>>282507359>"Nene. What just happened?">"You just got owned, that's what loser."
>>282507434If he was honest with his friends in the first place, they would have been fine with him sneaking around having meetups with the girls. I guess he doesn't want to admit he wants to see the girls.
>>282507634>Arisu looks like boild octopus>Iko looks like boild octopusCould it be any more obvious?
>>282523186She's more like Miku. Given a lot of time at first and then sidelined HARD.

>>282526464I have the smartest dog here and he knows Apollo is Shinobu
>>282507487>>282507505>>282507520>>282507559>>282507587Guess this chapter made me sure Shinobu's Apollo. The mystery won't be as fun anymore. The author knows it's between Rikka and Shinobu for the readers, and how Rikka acts doesn't really fit how Apollo would. Rikka's way too surprised and ecstatic, using it to her advantage as his weakness. Apollo's a bit more kind with him, sentimental, and embarrassed like Shinobu in the flashback. I don't really like Rikka being this fat red herring, it at least is counteracted by the fact that he wrote her as the most independent heroine. This chapter also ended the cope of Arisu not marrying Apollo in the future based on his reaction remembering her, he's completely enamored with her.
>>282515306They should do a whole ASMR session with sounds from their clothes rustling before they talk.
>>282530174It's been 2 years, we're entering the third year is what they mean
>>282509993Nino finally got avenged. There's no need to bring up her loss anymore, nor her needing avenging. Ever. In any thread.
>>282529994One of the anons here will burn the authors house...
>>282530319does itsuki exist in this manga?
>>282507434>"Damn it...! This is precisely what's wrong with All-Boys schools...!"What? Since he went to an All-Boys schools, wouldn't they be jealous seeing him hanging out with cute girls and try to sabotage him? Am I too used to the Scum Bros from Grand Blue?
Why do toubunfags keep shiting up romcom threads even though their series hasn't been relevant for years?
>>282507378Apollo calls him Arisu-kun when speaking to him in the future and the only one who does that is Shinobu. Makes sense, her not wanting to be called by her first name means she's still feeling guilty based on how their relationship ended when she was still only Apollo to him. If they didn't know each other before, it's a strange thing to have a hold about so early in their relationship.
>>282530725All the girls eat a lot like Itsuki. So Itsuki wins no matter what.
>>282531434>holdhold up*
>>282531471itsuki won shitno lost
every time i read this manga, i crave a mayo tuna sandwich
It seems Nene's words have turned against her. She's a slut, a bitch in heat, ready for Santa's lap, the march hare, and a dark chub experiencing nuptial coloration. etc. She should apologize sincerely though for making all nighttime outings for the trip forbidden.
>>282531830Its Yamabuki's fault for not calling her out as Apollo when he already think its her. Buki told Apollo to not reveal herself because he wanna figure it out and because of that Nene's feelings have become jumbled up.
>>282526372>yet it was the little Sun for young ArisuWhat do you mean by "little Sun"? The thing his life revolved around?
>>282531999The author can't make Yamabuki call Nene out as Apollo since he doesn't want the other girls knowing about Apollo. It would also make Arisu look dumb for confronting the wrong girl since Nene isn't Apollo. Arisu already looks dumb enough. He got compared to a seal.
>>282532448Yamabuki will never call out any girl as Apollo otherwise it would take away the mystery since it reveals who is/ isnt. The day Apollos identity gets revealed I expect it to go like thisYamabuki: blah blah blah blah there you are, I knew you would be here Nene... or shall I say... TITLE DROP: ApolloIn order for it to work it has to be out of no where, where us the readers dont expect for Yamabuki to suddenly call out one of the girls as Apollo
>>282531744no tuna?
>>282532277More like the one source of light on his life back then
surprisingly fun thread despite being a HUEEEEGGHHHHHHHH *holds back vomit*a SHITnobu thread
I want to have sex with Iko during livestream
>>282531434interesting theory, i like it
>>282534148buki...
>>282534148Imagine all the not NTR doujins we could get if this becomes popular with the anime
>Apollo already liked Arisu from the begining>Nene tried to kiss him right at the start of the mangaIt was always there. Rikka/Shinobu/Iko etc took 50~ chapters and Nene was already at that point in chapter 5.
>>282493099>It'd be one thing if the chapter was hard to TL but it's quite easy.What makes a certain chapter harder to or easier to translate than others? Like wordplay or lots of sound effects?
>>282531103He meant that his friends are afraid of girls because they went to an all-boys' school and don't know how to interact with them.
>>282536022NTA but the japanese in this chapter is really simple everyday teenage speaks
>>282536146They look like they're cheering him on though.
>>282536232Because they are, they're leaving him alone out of goodwill.
>>282536257Then Yamabuki must have misinterpreted it and thought they left out of shyness.
>>282507505>"It makes it feel like we're a couple."Who said that? Arisu or Apollo? If it was Arisu, then he really liked her.
>>282536412I think it's him because it's a blending of his memory/internal thoughts with what he said on the phone. Which would only add to his embarrassment.
So, we have to wait another two weeks for the Iko chapter, which will be kino?
>>282535497This is Nenes biggest factor for being Apollo. Her kissing Buki despite supposedly hating him never made any sense unless she was Apollo
>>282536747She just liked him after he helped her with her audition. As much as I like Tsundere and Nene, she will lose.
>>282536878This is the start of their pretend relationship meaning she was okay with kissing despite not supposedly getting to know Yamabuki much unless she is Apollo who knew him hence why she felt okay with the kiss and is aware he is the type of person to go far.
Coincidently, the same chapter where Nene first kissed Yamabuki and where Nenes ears turn red is also the first flashforward we get of Apollo
>>282537300>>282537402This sounds like cope, don't make me hope for a tsundere win in AD MMXXV
>>282537648Its cope for all girls
>>282531253It makes ill always be relevant, and blueprint for every romcoms after it.
>>282494620>Is Iko just zannen?What does that mean?
>>282538559Zannen
>>282507520How did they synchronize this? They can read each other's minds? Oh wait, he got lost in his Apollo flashback, and his feelings so that's when they helped each other out.
>>282507487He looks so cute in the top panel. Apollo's right he has a cute name, So it's intentional he has a girly name. Surprised a Yamabuki is insecure about it.
>>282538655Unfortunate? Iko should have went to the top of Tsutenkaku Tower and head towards the observation deck to rub the Billiken's feet. Can't get good luck without taking some risk. The risk of getting an itchy butt.
>>282536747Man, the way she just gets lipstick out of nowhere.
>>282539712girls carry chapsticks with them all the time
>>282539739I know, but given the situation is such a visual gag.
>>282539712Yeah, that was a great joke.
>>282536747Maybe she's just horny.
I wonder if the author is gonna slow the present romance (Arisu + the girls in the club) by making him thinks he's still only in love with Apollo which is how he's going to deny his current crazy reactions "it's not about them it's just bc of Apollo memories" kind of plot.
>>282510321Half the fun was in the meta shitfling
>>282540439Most of the fun were the threads. We just don't get that unironic schizophrenia anymore.
>>282507469It's so refreshing to see an MC with a functioning brain who can deduce the situation right away.
>>282541370>functioning brainHe got mindbroken by Shinobu's and Rikka's duel ASMR.
>>282536205Yamabuki has a peculiar kind of everyday teenage speak then >>282507393
>>282541535>DuelI think you mean dual. But before that, Buki was acting perfectly ok and knew why this was happening
>>282543679>DuelImagine an ASR duel between the girls...
>>282543679Wasn't he ok because both didn't actually say his first name ?
>>282544629What ruined bucky was the flashback with Apollo, if he didnt remember that, he probably would have "listen you 2, Nene decided to call me by my first name on her own, just do what you want but stop acting as horny teenagers
>>282544801Then if it's just about Apollo why didn't that flashback occur when Nene call him Arisu in the previous chapter or any other girls for the matter in the 3-4 years he hasn't seen Apollo? I think if the author really wanted us to believe it's bc of Apollo he would have shown the reaction of Yamabuki hearing his name first from Rikka/Shinobu without the flashback in mind and later with the flashback in mind
>>282545121I think why he didnt have the flashback with Nene was because the flow there was pretty natural there, but with Shinobu and Rikka he was basically "oh man, they are acting like dorks again because of what Nene did, what's soo especial about calling someone by their nam-" and then the memory hit him, remembering he once got all happy about the whole first name thing.
>>282545245But he could have ask himself the same question in Nene's chapter. She leaned into him, clearly making the situation romantic so the implications were there. He also noticed she's embarassed since she's all red just like his younger self was when Apollo called him by his name so Nene could have make him remember since it was the same mood than it was with apollo >>282545245
>>282545547For me the trigger was Shinobu and Rikka acting awkward about it, yes Nene was embarrassed but that interaction was quite smooth all things considered, here Shinobu and Rikka where being awkward, changing their speech at last moment, this prompt Bucky's mind to go "man they are acting this way over THAT, I would never do that" the "I would never do that" trigger the memory since it was "wait a moment there was this one time" kind of reaction.
>>282507288What font do you use?
>>282525320>Somehow they think a female name for a boy is cute or acceptable if they use some fancy kanji.Their names have fancy kanji?
>>282507634How do their faces look like a boiled octopus? Their faces bulge when boiled? All the images I see are just their tentacles.
>>282546890About as silly as being confused as to why arisu is a 1:1 replica of that seal plushie
>>282525619Yeah, it's the most obvious thing ever.
>>282546936What does a boiled octopus look like?
>>282526247>To be blunt I used to really hate the usage of the name “Apollo” by a girl thinking it was typical ignorance of other culturesA girl using the name of a Greek god or the name of the space mission as her handle really doesn't seem insulting. It's an homage to them. I find it very hard to believe any educated person from a first world country to be ignorant of Greek literature. It could also just be a reference to the chocolate brand she likes.
>>282546771CC Wild Worlds for the most part and CC Zoinks for things like shouting. I just stick to what one scanlator gave me years ago cause I barely ever scanlate anything, you're probably better off with something else lol>>282546890It's figaratively used to describe someone who gets red from something apparently. They do give "as red as a lobster" as an English equivalent in dictionaries, but I'm pretty sure that's normally only used when referring to sunburns specifically, while boiled octopus can be used for other things according to the definition>風呂に入ったり、酒を飲んだり、激怒したりなどして顔や体が赤くなった人をたとえていう語。Iko's blob is drawn to look like an octopus in the last panel anyway, so a lobster wouldn't have worked
>>282532616I doubt Yamabuki's ever confronting Apollo based on chapter 5's flash-forward. He'll most likely know who she is based on my reading of it. When I make my Nene route, I'll use your fan fiction for the reveal, I like their chemistry.
>>282547360They're making the comparison because his face is beet red and his mouth his gaped open and it looks like he's given up and died.
>>282547360Pic related is literally what Yamabuki looks like in universe by the end of this chapter.
If apollo confessed to"Yamabuki Kun" in the flash forward but they're all calling him Arisu rn (i'm assuming will Iko too) then why would apollo switch back to Yamabuki espacially during a confession ?
>>282548979We have no context as to where she was during that phone call, which might possibly effect how informal or formally you talk to someone.
>>282548979She first called him Arisu and then switched back to Yamabuki, the obvious explanation is that MC never finds out who Apollo is so she just keeps calling him Yamabuki when playing the Apollo character
>>282549023I think it was a broadcast not a phonecall otherwise why would she say 'this would be the last episode of mayotuna" and "i wonder if you notice" instead of directly asking him if he did ? And she looks alone in a room
>>282548377>Nenebros already accept their loss and planning fanfics where she winsWHERE IS YOUR PRIDE AS SIMP AS HAREM READER? have faith in your favorite girl
>>282549363but how would that work ? She begins her monologue with "Arisu" and after a few sentences switch to Yamabuki, so how is she not playing her apollo part in the whole scene ?
>>282549580She's having a video call with her husband and calls him Arisu, stream goes down so she starts a stream on her phone to keep talking to him and decides it's the right time to tell him everything so she switches to her Apollo persona and says it's going to be the last mayotuna stream since he now knows who apollo is
>>282549569>>Nenebros already accept their loss and planning fanfics where she winsGood. I dont want her to end up with Arisu. That way she can be mine, just like Nino and Miku.
>>282549638But her apollo persona was already calling him Arisu during the broadcasts when they were in middle school and hs. If anything saying his last name during a broadcast is weird bc she knows his family is kinda famous
>>282550035>If anything saying his last name during a broadcast is weird bc she knows his family is kinda famousHe's the only one listening to her
Selling Iko stocks, any takers?
>>282550223Why? Being singled out from the entire group is always a good sign, even when it’s “negative.”
>>282550165The only way i could see it working if she has a new broadcast only he can access because she can't be certain no one would listen to them and find out private informations about himBut even tho, it's weird to call him Yamabuki when Apollo in all of the flashbacks so far have been calling him Arisu and why would she use Yamabuki when it's also her last name if she's married to him. I think therr should be a simplement explanation
>>282550560You can set up streams to be invite only, if you want in world logic for the name then it was just to mark a difference between herself and Apollo, if you want the real explanation is so the author doesn't have to worry about how the girls end up calling him and keep the mystery unsolvable
>>282550223I was about to buy before realizing it said Iko stocks and not Iko socks. I'm immensely disappointed
>>282549986stay strong brother
In the latest chapter the girls used "アリス" for Arisu but in the first chapter, apollo used 有栖. Does anyone know why the author used different spellings ?
>>282553199he asked grok
>>282554006The author used Grok? How can you tell?
>>282555217he told me in a dream

>>282558495Delusional.
>>282559546I should've put apollo on the list instead
Iko already won
The losing competition
Iko already lost
>>282559727Easy target
>>282562155Iko is Apollo but will lose
>>282548979"A callback to Ch1 when everyone called him Yamabuki-kun as they said they loved him." That's how Arisu tried to figure out who was Apollo ever since she left him and now Apollo's telling him all her experiences and feelings from back then from her PoV.
>>282525091An imperfect woman, but that's why Yamabuki loves her.
eek who?
>>282531830Was her comment about the night sky a the moon is beautiful kind of indirect shit?
>>282563933At the beginning of the story Yamabuki tries to help Iko and tells her that what makes the audience connect on an emotional level to her is when she let her true self slips. 1 or 2 chapters after, Shinobu let it slip in front of Yamabuki and tells him that the reason she wants to do all by herself is to get praised. It's too bad but we don't see Yamabuki reaction since we only see from behind when that hapens
>>282559735Good argument, anon. You sure convinced me.
Where did Buckey go wrong? I thought the girls' feelings were dumb and meaningless.
>>282567026>Nene used reverse psychology>Is super effective Nene simply manages to outplay him.
>Rikka is first girl and most mysterious, therefore she'll win>no no Shinobu is more mysterious AND acts like she has some sort of history with him, so SHE'll win>wait wait Nene will win because of muh subversion of expectation >but actually Iko will win because I have to one up your subversionCome on guys, it's pretty fucking simple
>>282567624Nene has zero chance of winning, stop this tomfoolery.Iko has 10%, Rikka and Shinobu are tied at 45%.
Why the sudden Nene slander.
>>282567026They were, when they were throwing themselves at him. Easy win is no fun. But now that they might resist? Reeeeeeeeeee.
>>282568211They are afraid.
>>282568211She's turned into a Buuki hungry whore.
>>282568465But enough about Slutnobu.
>>282568211Not slander, but she wont win, she has Nino written all over her.
>>282568490Nino was a bitch and when she was in pursuit mode Fuutarou found her annoying. Nene isn't really a bitch and she's a lot more subtle than Nino.
>>282568505They are still love aggressive tsunderes, this kind of girl doesnt win unless she is the main girl like Naru, Chitose or insert your other tsun girl here.
>>282568609>Nene>aggressiveIt's all Arisu pursuing her.
>>282568634Are you trying to imply the aquarium bit wasnt keikaku doori'd by Nene?
>>282568652I'm just saying she isn't throwing her ass at his face like nini and Arisu actually gives a fuck.
>>282568665The fact she went for calling him Arisu is also aggressiveness, instead of just using gopher or you know, Yamabuki.Straight up stop deluding yourself, i will admit this harem isnt as obviously clear cut as some of old like Oreimo but there are always some clear loser girls and Nene is obviously one. I like her the best out of the 4 but i can go past my own bias and feel a hopeless case when i see one.
>>282568719Nene and Nino both moved forward but Nene is going the speed limit. Nino did an 8ball and floored it to 90. There is a big difference. Arisu deserves it since he's been a horse's ass recently.
>>282568777That is just the author trying to stall what is a manga premise that has been in overtime for a long time by now, probably because he has no interest in ending the story any time soon.
>>282568888God, I hope it's not one of those manga that doesn't die like kanokari or Komi-san.
>>282568505Yeah, she didn't roofie anyone yet!
>>282562619...her virginity to me.
>>282569098Arisu, don't tell Rikka, she might choke a ho.
>>282569250I love this page so much, what a power moce, haha.
>>282569614Move*
>>282569614I like it because it was our first hint that Rikka has a jealousy streak.
>>282568777>did an 8ballWhat does that mean?
>>282568719Then the most aggressive is Shinobu.
we love iko here
>>282548733Looks just like him with his fish lips.
>>282566855>It's too bad but we don't see Yamabuki reaction since we only see from behind when that hapensHow would he have reacted?
>>282571102Who knows ? But the timing of Yamabuki talking about winning people over "by accidentally revealing yourself" just for Shinobu to do that twice once with the guys in her class and once with Yamabuki in the following up chapter is weird
>>282571295shinobu is weird
>>282568998I dropped Komi after the love triangle, I am amazed it lasted that long, it really lost its charm by trying to be more dramatic
>>282568998I hope it is. I never want it to end.
Bump limit, nice threat guys
>threat erm
>>282572107Apologies, is late here, didnt check for typo
>>282571102A straight face, but one that shows understanding of her inside his heart.
>>282571295Shinobu's Apollo and his ideal. He's been a fan of her all this time.
>>282573019Too bad Shinobu will never love him back.
>>282573019His ideal ? Yes. Apollo ? Don't think so
>>282573019Shinobu is his ideal and will win but Iko is Apollo
>>282573116Not this anon but I agree. Shinobu doesn't feel love for Arisu.
How would Iko be Apollo? Apollo was confessing right from the first chapter meanwhile it took months for Iko to figure out what she was feeling for Arisu
>>282573313With the power of delusion the story can be anything I want.
nene isn't in love, she's just in love with the idea of being in love
>>282573116Why not? Yamabuki's punishment for his arrogance?
>>282573144Apollo is his ideal.>>282573254He's telling Iko to be more like Apollo, reveal her true self in her broadcasts which is what Apollo did and made him a fan of her.
>>282573814True. Arisu probably has an idolized version of Apollo in his mind since he was like 11 when he spoke to her and it was only on the phone. Meeting her in irl was a reality check for him
