>they don't officially begin their relationship until the very end of the series>the relationship gets a page or two in the epilogue, if anything
>8 years later>bro handshake
>>282815468Relationships are unrealistic.
Don't be afraid to read romance mangas, shojo, josei, seinen...there are plenty
>>282815468This is why I like yuri. Lots of series focus on the characters actually dating
It felt like Ladies vs Butlers was fully aware of this when, in the final moments of the final episode, MC is unable to choose a girl and his entire harem walks away in disgust.
Shounen romcom writers are creatively bankrupt. It's nothing new. You write what you know afterall and all of them are shut in workaholics who never had actual relationship in their life so they literally have no idea what happens when couples get together.
>>282815468Deserved. Romancefags ruin every community by trying to shoehorn it into everything. Total shipper death.
>>282815579Don't even care who pairs with who, just do something.Nobody likes when the status quo just floats around for a hundred chapters. Shounen or otherwise.
>>282815555At least they are working and because of that have some kind of social life and sometimes even become riches, marry and all.If anything it's because the readers self insert and being into a relationship is not something they can't understand since they've never been in one. Seeing the mc getting stronger, being a hero and having a loving relationship with a woman ?!! No they would end up resenting the mc
>>282815656Why should everything have a romance element?
>>282815468
>>282815730No one wants to watch/read stories with an asexual robot cast. It's unnatural on a fundamental level. Romance/intimacy is a main pillar of everyday life. I don't expect bunch of lonely losers to understand that though.
>>282815763No stakes wholesome slop romcom addicts are the scum of the earth.
>>282815779My suggestion would be to stop reading shounenshit.(I'm not recommending anything to replace it because nobody wants you shitting those threads as well)
>>282815795>bro the stakesbest way to detect a midwit
>>282815839>NOOOO don't interrupt my pathetic self insert otaku loser x school idol princes fantasy NO.554851 of the season REEEEEEEEEEEEKys
>>282815779Or they could commit and actually make their mcs asexual in canon instead of a forced romance in the last 2 ch.
>>282815730The romance is already there a lot of the time. It's just that the author can't ever move on from the "will they or won't they" plot point. Instead of developing the relationship the author will just have the characters blush at each other for the 6,000th time over a minor misunderstanding.
>>282815579This happens in romcom where romance is the main point as well
>>282815977>characters blush at each other for the 6,000th time over a minor misunderstandingThat shit happens even in supposed "adult" romances. It's just a fact that mangaka can't write proper romance to save their life and that's it.
>>282815943Non sequitur, proving you're indeed a midwit.I don't consume those series (so your strawman is like your point: null) Those series are trash but it isn't because of>muh steaks!!1!
>>282815977stop reading garbage
>>282815468This except you're the clown for reading it
>>282815977This.But a romantic relationship also means doubts and other less unpleasant feelings some readers wouldn't be able to bear. If they dated, and the fmc would done something they see as "wrong" she would be hated right away
>>282816008Sorry i don't speak retard. Carry on.
>>282815795At it again are you, cuck?
>>282815468Tension is what's all about. Look at Bakemonogatari or Aobuta, once they start dating, main girl is made to disappear for most of it.
>>282816052Are you lost schizo?
>>282816134Still in denial, I see.
>>282815468Stories that focus on a couple's romantic relationship after they get together are boring and are rarely depicted realistically. Just because you have a romantic partner doesn't mean you suddenly find everyone from the opposite sex unattractive. Where is the part where the honeymoon phase wears off, and they stop going on dates every weekend? Where is the part where her boyfriend waits 10 years to propose? Where is the part where he takes more overtime than normal? Where is the part where he tells you he doesn't want kids after expressing how much you wanted some and he tells you he got a vasectomy in secret? Where is the part where the sex stops? Where is the part where you don't think he loves you anymore? Where is the part about drama over finances and possessions? Where is the part where he first raises his hand toward you? Where is the part where he drinks too much? Where is the part where you meet up with a coworker who treats you better? Where is the part where you tell him you're working late and staying in a motel for the night? Where is the part where you wake up in a bed next to another man? Where is the part where capitalism makes it to expensive to get a divorce? Where is the part where you start an affair in secret? Where Is the part where he comes home and says he's fired and needs to look for another job? Where is the part where you two rarely see each other anymore, despite living in the same house? Where is the part where the other man you're sleeping with expresses that he wants children, too? Where is the part where you miss your period? Where is the part where you find out you're pregnant with another man's child? Where is the part where you don't know what to do with the baby? Where is the part where you regret everything? Where is the part where the pain stops?
>>282815779So because you’re a normalfag? That’s your answer?>>282815977>The romance is already there a lot of the timeNo
>>282815468That only happens in battle shonen because romance is an afterthought and romcoms because the majority of the "comedy" comes from will-they-won't-they shenanigans. Read actual romance manga.
>>282816241log off bec
>>282816241In josei, that's were it's at.
>>282815551>anime original endingHe gets drills in the novel.
Kill All shipfag
>>282815468>the goal is for the hero to kill the villain>story goes slow but progress is evident>it takes hundreds of episodes >the villain is killed in the final episodeWhat else is there?
Well you see OP, the male character is me, I'm self-inserting, so showing MC going on dates with the girl would be unrealistic since I cannot actually date the girl myself
>>282816957MC having close friends and employment isn't?
>>282815498Mindbroken
>>282815763The only people who think like this have either never been in a relationship or have only been in failed ones that they're still bitter about.
>>282815468This is why BokuYaba is peak
>>282817879most successful love is very boring as a story, and only exciting for the two people experiencing it. It's why fictional romance needs elaborate happenings or grandiose plots. Which may or may not be the contextual point.
>they get together at the end of the first season>second season is them growing closer as a couplepeak
There's a reason why romance has an entire genre dedicated to itself; it's hard to get right, and can bog down a story that's not about it.Akira Toriyama was notoriously godawful at romance even by his own admission, so it's something he deliberately kept out of his stories, because he didn't feel he was skilled enough to write it
>>282818552Yet the best romance always come when romance is either just the subgenre or sidestory over pure romance.
>>282815468I don't know what's wrong with authors having them get into a relationship at the end. That's not how it works on real life at all, the series should START with them dating and then progress to see how their relationship goes. Dating IS the trial run before getting engaged and there's no trial run before dating, that is the bare minimum
>>282820024>I don't know what's wrong with authors having them get into a relationship at the endbecause the most exciting part for most romance fans is the before and honeymoon period. Which is why the majority of romance drag out the honeymoon period, because it's increasingly difficult to write an interesting story about a mature relationship (because it usually requires personal experience with one).>That's not how it works on real life at all,this also isn't entirely true, many real life relationships can take years to get to actually admitting feelings and dating, because it's a massive risk to change the dynamic.
>>282816241>Stories that focus on a couple's romantic relationship after they get together are boring and are rarely depicted realistically.Not reading the rest and realism is never the point (i.e. could end in divorce which is realistic based on statistics but makes for a shitty story), but there's some good stories that are fine after the couple actually get together. Aharen-san's manga is great (though the second season of the anime has too much anime original with the shota trap which makes it garbage). Eureka Seven is a great overall and they are together for most of the anime even if it gets a little melodramatic at parts.
