Never completely understood how these school excursions work
Are high school kids in Japan just be given free rein to movilize as they see fit during a morning, as long as they go back for programmed meetings like lunch, afternoon or the trip back?

Like, you could program a "study/visit trip" and then just fuck off to do your own thing? (considering budget limits, of course?

92 (ninety two) chapters to realize this, good job elite thinker Yamabuki
>>
Based off this chapter im now fully convinced Shinobu and Iko cannot be Apollo. Iko is just a pure mascot and Shinobu is too desperate to be with Yamabuki which makes her being Apollo unlikely when we know Apollo is aware of Yamabuki wanting to find out who she is without revealing herself to him.

>Throwing EVEN MORE mystery baits that don't really answer anything at the readers
I'm still reading because the girls (especially Nene) are cute, but I think it's safe to say that Igarashi is an overrated hack, just like Aka.
He's more interested in doing gags than writing a good story. Should have just stuck with his detective manga.

Iko is not even sad anymore, she just gave up entirely.

Guys, Shinobu can't be Apollo, it's got to be Nene or Iko. Apollo also loses, the Gods are a sham like Yamabuki said, you can't rely on them.

You have to be kidding me. Nene uses a quote that is used by Apollo IN THE SAME CHAPTER. What is subtle about this?

Owari da, it's fucking Shinobu.
>>
>>282845545
It makes no sense for Apollo to lose when Yamabuki is Apollo-sexual. I do agree Nene is Apollo tho
>>
There’s a reason only Nene’s mouth (smile) was hidden, she was probably the only one that received a good luck in love fortune.

Also iirc you only really tie the fortune slip if it’s bad luck and Shinobu is the one suggesting it…

Remind me, what is the whole reason Apollo just doesn't reveal who they are again?

The thing is that we're supposed to believe is that Apollo and Arisu were always connected together, but in the present timeline none of those girls have late night talks with him, the relationships are different and have been from the beginning. Apollo and Arisu only talked like 3 times in present so this close bond barely exists now

Yeah, 92 chapters for him to believe in Buddha and God. Apollo's one of those recruiters who approach you with pamphlets about religion. All of Yamabuki's hard work and research to find Apollo was for nothing. The Gods and Apollo's wish did it for him. Vagabond and Musashi are shams. Yamabuki's creed still has some worth, he didn't rely on the wish to find her, but he still did.

I've always thought it was Shinobu. I'm sure she'll win, but this page is a bit too obvious, so I reckon she's the real bait and will lose. Take a look at her face, her hair, even the way she's got her uniform on. It's clearly designed to look like middle school Shinobu. It's got to be bait. She's going to lose, for sure.

Obviously Shinobu's Apollo and the winner, but you could interpret this panel as an Iko clue or red herring. This panel is of when Apollo went to that same shrine in the past to make the wish to reunite with Arisu. We know Iko's familiar with the area and customs, so if it's revealed she lived there in the past, then it would make sense why she visited that shrine near her home to make that wish.

I still want Shinobu to win, but she doesn't have to be apollo. The fortune Arisu found was already wet and he didn't draw it so it wasn't even his.

Maybe it was Shinobu's since she wanted to slip her fortune and it was noted that that's why you do with lucky fortunes

Nene will become the sun and warm us all with her light.

That would be sad.
Arisu has always recognized her efforts, from ch 2. And i hope calling her by her name is going to come up sooner than during the rejections arc. The way everyone is calling each other by their first name even now while she still wants him to use uzuki is going to stand out.

Hopefully Shinobu ending whether she wins or not will be tie to her mom's drama.
But her not winning would be quite sad since her trauma is about being left behind, which would happen again if Arisu ended up with an other girl.
Even worse if it's Apollo and she realized she never had a chance to begin with (if she's not Apollo)

>>
>>282847878
They are all desperate. But in this arc she was the least of desperate of them .
Rikka asked him to pretend to be a couple while holding his hand and questioned him while he was stuck in an elevator. She used a technique -not answering a question- to keep playing with him.
Nene also used an technique and then clings to him and said she would called him by his first name.

Meanwhile Shinobu asked to eat together - which they've done before anyway- and Arisu could have easily left since they were outside but he didn't and even said he couldn't refuse
>>
Shinobu is apollo and she will give up shut like she gave up her midnight radio but in this time buck will be here for her. Some people need strong support from behind to achieve their dreams, other girls don't look like apollo due to their strong willpower. They can be fine alone, Shinobu needs someone.

it's not pity, buck was saved by her and now its his time to save her. this is love.

>>282848022
Im referring before this trip, Shinobu is constantly trying to get Yamabuki's attention. Also even during this trip she still tries to sneakily get in contact with him by disguising herself whereas the other girls are being themselves. Rikka is casually showing affection on the elevator and Nene didnt even intend to meet Yamabuki, he came to where she is and started to chase after her while Nene played him for going after her.

Her winning would be bad because it keeps her self-esteem tied to another person, it's just the usual low confidence girl arc, she shows her growth by being rejected and managing to keep her new found confidence, she fails to make MC love her but that's ok since she can bow love herself
>>

The way Apollo used her name, the broadcast room and had a confession that sounded like Shinobu/Apollos confession for Arisu in ch 14 and the girls never questioned who that girl was despite how competitive they are or how Arisu actually mentioned her to them during their first meeting doesn't make sense at all

She used to tell all her listeners that she loved them so her saying that it's not as meaningful to him, it's even unclear whether she was even aware of liking him romantically or just as a dear friend that supported her

Same with Shinobu, she'd never be able to say something like this without getting nervous and flubbing her words

If the criteria for being Apollo is "losing" then it's definitly not Nene. But Shittka, Snakenobu and Ikowho have best chances now!

It doesn't matter. Shinobu looks like a generic JP girl. Arisu is just imagining a generic JP girl. That is just it. Remember how Apollo had short brown hair in a flashback too? None of this matters. It could be a brown haired girl like Rikka or a red head like Nene.

I don't want to be seen as crazy but i think author will make all 4 apollos. MC couldn't know remember the exact voice because it was mix of 4 girls. All their flashbacks will lead into them creating apollo radio and them broadcasting themselves on it as One girl aka Apollo persona.
They don't give a shit about confession from Apollo to bucky is that they all know the story.

HAHAHA no, it's closer to >>282852289 , basically vague teasing to ensure readers
The bad news with this is that when the reveal comes, in the best case scenario it will be as many other romcoms: it will simply make half the shippers seethe as their favourite girl didn't win
But in the worst case scenario, not only will the aforementioned happen, but also thr resolution will be rushed, full of plotholes, inconclusive or all of the above, adding to the seethe fire.

Rikka is too cool for anons, they would be scared by her assertiveness. We are afraid of stacies due to irl stacies bulling.
Nene is too irritating for us. We hate classic tsunderes.
Iko or Shinobu would be picked by us. We love pushovers and losers.

Buki can take both Rikka and Nene.

>>282852732
Rikka's a fake stacy.
>>
>>i don't know, I feel like that's more a sign of the author not actually committing to anything.

Same. It started great with him giving heavy hints to Rikka really early on then he gave crumbs to the other girls, and made Yamabuki ooc ("what she loves me ?!") so he could keep stalling with the "do i love Apollo or not" drama for 90 ch.

There were a recent chapter where Apollo talked to him via the broadcast room where she told him that she didn't hate him and Yamabuki recalled that time he said 'ily' to her with a small blush. In the first chapter when he remembered that scene he went red and blushed like crazy so it doesn't look like Apollo has the same affect on him and 5 chapter later Yamabuki thinks they're destined lovers.
It's getting hard to feel invested with the apollo/Arisu romance because it looks like the author doesn't know what he wants to do with it

Futaro stopped looking for clues really early on.
Negi wasn't milking the story like this, Futaro understood his crush, decided to focus on the present because he was building new relationships with the 5 sisters.
Meanwhile, the story throws some Apollos hints every 20 ch and Yamabuki still hasn't figure out his feelings, he's still stuck in the past.
If we keep getting Apollo is endgame hints every 20 chapters, then what's the point of being invested in the other romances ?

Just like he knew that the girls liked him, he's going to realize who apollo is otherwise that going to make him incompetent and ooc

Who do you think would get stolen the easiest and by what?
>Rikka
Obviously someone in the music industry, an up and coming utaite. Someone who has the looks and the voice.
>Nene
Built for delinquents, her mouth will say no but her eyes will say yes if he's even a trad bit pushy.
>Shinobu
Weak to nanpa. Some looker will chat her up and she will not have enough courage to blow him off. She will go get tea with him and then she'll feel lightheaded and he will walk her home gently.
>Iko
As she starts to collab with more and more people she starts playing tindr games like valo and APEX. She gets into the regular sphere with more and more male vtubers, many of which are known on the uravalo circuit.

Shinobu - Itou Miku (Experienced VA)
Lemon - Hanazawa Kana (High Profile VA)

Something is off with the body proportions of Lemon. It's not that she's just taller, is that even her head looks way bigger. I know it's an official picture but putting them together doesn't work on their favour

>>282865538
She sounds good as Belno Light from Uma Musume Cinderella Gray but I don't know what to expect from her when she's starting to voice Rikka who obviously has a deeper voice just by the looks of it.

They spoiled endign with nebie seiyu for rikka. She supposed to be a great singer so it naturally to pic some VA with good singing capability but picking shitty one saying rikka is a shitty singer, she won't achieve her dream and stay at yamabuki household as an abused trophy wife

Rikka has the rookie VA and rookie VAs especially if everyone else in the cast is a veteran have a high rate of winning.

Probably just a different VA just like 5toubun.

uh, in a nutshell it was that when rumors of her having a bf came out her comments were swarmed by "fans" being upset with her, but it was found out that many of them were regular chatters in nijisanji vtubers streams which means they were falseflagging (niji is a rival company whose fans obsessively hate hololive). also they've never fired anyone for having a bf.

i dunno why these retards are bringing it up here of all places though it's been like 2 or 3 years and nobody cared then and nobody cares now and it's completely offtopic.

Yup
It made sense after 30 chapters to be in this kind of situation but 90?

The biggest part is the fanbase is convinced that Apollo will win but then everyone will have different answers about who's apollo.

It feels like apollo is an abstract concept at this point that readers will project their favorite girls into, to convince themselves that they will win
>>
>>282867652
Rikka is apollo but she will lose
>>
>>282867652
The hints point to each of them whenever it's convenient. There is no real mystery to be figured out, Apollo will just say who she is when the end is near and will use 1/5th of the hints as proof.
>>
What if a curveball gets thrown and say, Apollo is one character but Yamabuki picks someone else?
>>
>>282868342
Rikkaover will cause meltdown here
>>
>>What if a curveball gets thrown and say, Apollo is one character but Yamabuki picks someone else?

i think that's what going to happen, which might be why apollo identity is still vague even at this point, like it's hard to feel invested in apollo-arisu relationship (without projecting your favorite girl into her) bc apollo isn't a full fleshed out character

its also keeps the readers invested

The only girl Yamabuki suggests to be Apollo is Nene. Throughout the story he's been constantly telling Nene if she was in love with him more than any girl. People will spout "red herring" but it comes to a point that eventually what may be a red herring was an intentional hint planted which was meant to blow over our heads.
>>
>>282868859
He literally said that shinobu may be opollo in this chapter
>>
>>282868899
Show me the panel where he "literally" said that. Don't just spread misinformation on the Internet.
>>
>>282862594
Now that you said that, I can't remember the last time one won who wasn't the main girl of the story.
>>
>>282869006
Apollo in his dream looks like Shinobu. Not like Nene
>>
>>282869105
Its just a silhouette that is meant to be ambiguous. She doesnt look like Shinobu unless you're referring to her hair which is literally just obvious bait
>>
>>282848091
Rikka won fair and square.
>>
>>282868497
No, the flashforward is very clear that the winner is the girl who he talked to on the string phone and that was Apollo, at most you could say they were all Apollo somehow but in that case "Apollo" still wins
>>
>Alice
kinda gay ID
>>
Apollo is a troon
>>
>>282869215
none of the flashforwards were clear tho, if the author wanted us to 100% believe she's endgame there would be any kind of ambiguity but there is, in every of the ff

+ he keeps throwing randow clues in every chapter at every girl and arisu thinks apollo is nene who is the least likely to be her. at this point who is eve the apollo we're suposed to imagine arisu to end up with ?
>>
Nene is apollo but she will lose to Chinobu
>>
Mayatuna is the greatest herem of 20s
>>
>>282869364

Except for the girl confessing to being Apollo having a pic of her wedding with MC
>>
>>282869603
Even fucking Medaka outsells it, lmao
>>
>>282869738
that scene was definitely ambiguous. If they are married why doesn't she wear a ring, why would she tell him her story after the wedding when Arisu kept asking why she stopped the broadcast for instance ? That's a topic that should be discussed before getting married espacially since he's been eager to know for like 90 chapters
>>
Shinobu should eat more. She is like a hungry skeleton especially in tights area
>>
>>282869778
Realy? Proof?
>>
>>282869738
But we couldn't even see Shinobu face clearly in that one.
>>
>>282869981
>that scene was definitely ambiguous.
No, it wasn't, the girl with the wedding photo is the girl at the other side of the string phone and she is Apollo
>why would she tell him her story after the wedding when Arisu kept asking why she stopped the broadcast for instance?
He told her not to reveal her identity, it makes sense she'd wait a long time before getting tired of waiting, especially since they already got married
As a side note, you assume this scene will get explained in any way regardless of whether the winner is Apollo or not which is retarded, the only purpose of this scene is to show that MC ends up with only one girl and that girl is Apollo
>>
>>282867652
works for fromsoft lore

I remember a character appearing in Iko's arc that seemed important, but never appeared again. Did they just discard her?
>>
>>282870124
>>282867452
>>
>>282870167
Wait a minute. She revealed her identity as apollo only marriage. So basically buki will stop searching for her, pick girl he love the most, date her 5-10 years and only after marriage she will reveal that she is that girl apollo.
And since buck and her has to study in same uni it will be shinobu. its not apollo who win but winner one claim the apollo title
>>
>>282870266
Winner's development arc is saved for last, especially when there's a mystery girl since the author can't risk revealing too much about her past
>>
>>282867208
And you are completely delusional

there is no romance after the 'buck

I'm scared I might die before seeing how this awful story ends.

I for one, don't read it for the mystery of who will win but because the girls are cute and Buki is a great MC, most of the time.
>>
"apollo will definitely wings even if the author hasn't showed it" is giving "miku will win bc of the scrambled arc, while "the last girl wins" is giving itsuki

Its always the chase and ends right after.

Apollo is actually a boy who told the girls about his experiences with Buki in the past, and they decided to assume his identity to help them get together
The ending will be Buki finding his one true gay love

>>282875588
it's the APEX. after that only free fall to ordinarily which kill romance and causing NTR. like a hero who overstayed and became a villain. it's time to let go
>>
Rikka won bigly
>>
>>282875588
Its because there is no supporting characters worth wasting a storyline (lemon lovelife) in these types of works, the pov is dominated by the protagonists and the love interest.
After the chase ends there is 0 story to be told without it being forced drama (yamabuki family shit) like kaguya helicopter

Anon he told them they are not actually in love, that is a fleeting emotion and all that bullshit, it would be reasonable and credible if some of them
dropped it and went after boys who actually picked up the signals.
Unless the readers are insecure who can't bear a girl not giving attention to the main protagonist even when this one is refusing their love.

>>282867652
Will there even be a reveal before the end of the anime? Because otherwise that is going to be...how many more chapters of this loveless cycle?
At least Senryuu shoujo can be excused as being mainly a gag manga with short chapters, but this is nearing 100 long chapters, Buck was funny and seemed to be the odd one out for a harem protagonist but I am just seeing the same tropes here, except that he is an elitist legit cunt.

It has its moments, but it's mediocre at best. It's not really breaking any new ground, and the writing is all over the place. So, not exactly a must-read. You won't miss out much.

At the earliest I can see it happening near the end of the season but more likely a bit after, if that's the case I expect this will end at the earliest late next year or around 60 more chapters, this assumes dome time skips happen since the winner mentioned being together for two years at school and it's currently around october of their first year together

All the girls can’t be equal because he has to actually like the one who’s Apollo the most. Rikka for example can’t be Apollo because he clearly doesn’t favor her at all

Nene is too much for the zoomers' brains to comprehend. That's why they latch onto seemingly prim-and-proper girls like Shinobu instead.

>>282880273
Love Nene, but there's different types of tsunderes. You have those who lose all their tsun for dere, others who become less tsun as time goes on (but still enough to have cyclic gap moe), some whose tsun were just retorts to hide their feelings and it'll change into inside jokes along the way, etc.
It's an eclectic field.
