Volume 4 of Bocchikano's been announced. Yorokobe, Romcomfags.https://x.com/ga_bunko/status/1983110491577667999
Nice but volume 3 translations when? It's been like a few months since Volume 3 got released
>>283386187Fuck you I thought this was an anime announcement and got disappointed
We riot if Hoshigasaki doesn't win.
>>283386322Bruh, this is going to go down the same route as Tomozaki-kun. Hanamitsuji is going to win in the same way as Aoi will win. First girl syndrome is too fucking ingrained in Nip writing
>>283386403Hanamitsuji and Aoi have completely different goals though. The first girl in this series only wants to have a fulfilling redo with Nanamura, she doesn't have to date him to do that.
>>283386187Nice. It's good to see they actually did continue. I still suspect the gyaru already likes him. Dunno about notAoi.
>>283386403Aoi isn't in the race.>>283386454This might be manga only but Sora implies she actually doesn't want Hoshigasaki to spend too much alone time with him since she doesn't want Nanamura to fall for her.
We going full into Clas prez arc huh? Shiramine stocks are rising meanwhile Hoshigasaki stagnates. Well >>283386495We do get a few POV changes in the LN to see her thoughts. She genuinely doesn't have romantic inclinations to Nanamura (yet), she just feels extremely guilty and deeply grateful he gave his life to save her so she's trying to make sure they both get a fulfilling time this time around instead of just her
Why am I getting mid 2010s romcom vibes from this series?
>Tomozaki/Oregairu derivative that isn't stuck up its own assWe're so fucking back bros.
You motherfuckers told me this doesn't have romance and instead it's friendship focused, the hell is this MCbowl bullshit?!
>>283386187The twintail girl is cute and the gyaru too. I have never heard of this series, what's it even about?
>>283386548>She genuinely doesn't have romantic inclinations to Nanamura>invites herself to Nanamura's and Hoshigasaki's house date>explicitly tries to be on the school fes committee to stop them from interacting without her oversightUnless she thinks he's her child and thinks he will do something reprehensible this is textbook mate guarding.
Gyaru's friend is a dead on basically Yumiko lol.
>>283386694Tbh I don't believe her thoughts either, seems like a case of wilfull ignorance on her part. She says to herself that she's doing those stuff in order to make sure Nanamura doesn't do anything to mess up his relationships, which might be true given how socially inept he is but it definitely reads like cope
Ruri > Mashiro > Sora >> Sora's annoying friend
>>283386661That's the MC's little sister.
Am I the only person who likes the meddlesome first girl trope? She's basically the MC's caretaker and that's like my favorite archetype.>>283386631Whoever told you that was lying out of their ass.
>>283387016I don't dislike her, I just think she gets easily overshadowed by both the other two girls
>>283386548She's cute, Shiramine's monologues about Nanamura is top tier girl material
>>283387016>Am I the only person who likes the meddlesome first girl trope?Yeah, it's nice. My favorite is Kuon from underwaterrayramano 2/3
>>283387016She's not bad but the other girls are just better
>>283387100>Shiramine's monologues about Nanamurasauce?
>>283387209Read them on Skythewoods. Particularly near the end of volume 1.
>>283386548>We going full into Clas prez arc huh?Sounds good. I'm hoping this doesn't become a harem and stays a NanamuraxHoshigaki story but I like her character.
>>283386187What is it about?
>>283389573Dude dies saving first girl, first girl is a priestess and rewinds time after years of praying to redo.
>>283386305Is there enough material for a 13 episode anime?
>>283386584man i love her hair
>>283391254With Volume 3 there is enough
>>283386187This the new fad?
>>283391723Not really
I think Prez is best girl
the fuck is Sakado's problem
>>283393409High school girl mentality of shitting on people's hobbies
>>283386495>>283386548Kinda painfully obvious she's uncomfortable with Nanamura having a girlfriend.
This fucking brat...
>>283393826
>>283393797That's because he's a retard. She's a good girl and will probably take one for the team so no other girl has to suffer him.
>>283393797Am I supposed to think the other girls even stand a chance against Not!Aoi?
>>283393941Unironically Hoshigasaki has been on a roll and Nanamura is more conscious of her than Hanamitsuji.
>>283393858Cute mesugaki
The MC is kinda insufferable at times but I do think he isn't malicious, just incredibly socially inept.
>>283394078Looking at his name (Hodaka) the first time made me recall another MC that left a particularly sour taste in my mouth.
>>283393797>>283393941Oh she's got it bad. What do you mean she doesn't have romantic feelings for him?
He's just like me frfr no cap
I remember reading the novel years ago. I thought that it got axed because the author went to college?
One of the few romcom"slop" i have enjoyed so im glad it got out of hiatus hell.
>>283394190It unaxed itself, the publisher saw that the manga was still getting some love from people and decided that they should keep on making more volumes. Which is why it's all digital now.
>>283393858i need this in my home..
>>283394190Social media support was a driving factor in deciding it should be revived
>>283386915The retard isn't malicious, just annoying yeah
>>283394535I actually kinda like her, she's not the obnoxious abusive type
>>283394612Not being a cunt should be considered part of common decency, not a redeeming factor. She's also creepy and obsessive
>>283394078He's kind of a selfish dickhead who doesn't really learn his lessons well.
>>283394098Eh? Nandatte?
>>283395077I thought I've suppressed all memories of that series. God what a trainwreck. The girls were cute though at least, that cunt didn't deserve any of them
>>283394078I like that he's self aware and smug that he's extremely socially inept. It's entertaining during his banter with the girls
>>283394535At least once she understands what happens she eases up and is friendly enough to him.
>>283394535She's so small... And flat too. Like, you could pick her up and she wouldn't be able to do a thing.
>>283386942when's she gonna admit that she wants to fuck her big brother
>>283394535she reminds me of a certain character from Princess Evangeline
>>283387100>>283387209Yeah, she's a good girl.
>>283393797Don't blame her, Ruri is getting a march on her. Even in Volume 3, which is Mashiro's volume, she gets a few moments with Nanamura.
kinda funny that despite the gyaru being the only combative heroine against the MC, she's like the fan favorite when the other two were actually rather nice to him in the beginning.
>>283386305If it got an anime, which seiyuu would you cast for the characters?
>>283395454She's the one who's most openly interested in the MC. Those heroines tend to be popular. Also gyaruxotaku is still well liked.
>>283386794Nah, it's 100% cope
>>283395546Isn't the aggressive option usually a losing heroine trope?
>more romcom slop
Another Oregairu clone?
>>283394035Is it just me or has the LN artist changed?
>>283395875No, same artist just the style has changed over time probably due to the gap in years between vol 2 and 3
>>283386219Translations have been slow but it's getting there
Not bad. Now let's see how long this will last
>>283386915Explain this but in Oregairu terms
>>283394078The upside to him is that he doesn't take 100 years to mature and develop his character. Unlike with other MCs, he's quicker to find his faults and admit when he was wrong
>>283396425I can't explain in those terms but I can explain in Tomozaki termsHanamitsuji (flower hair girl) = Aoi but not a psycho Shiramine (Black haired girl) = Mimimi but not loud and bits of Tama-chanHoshigasakj (Gyaru) = Fuuka and Yuzu combined
>>283396847>Hoshigasaki Gyaru) = Fuuka and Yuzu combinedThose two combine make for a giga doormat which doesn't fit the usual gyaru archetype
>>283395221Don't fuck the dog anon
>>283396900>Smol tomboy with tanlinesSEEEEEEXOOOO
>>283396900Neurons activated
>>283396900Pitslut
>>283394120For me it is willful ignorance. Hoshigasaki has a better chance of winning if Sora and class prez stay in their lanes.
>>283397001>class prez stay in their lanesSora might step aside and let Ruri win but I'm almost certain Mashiro won't do that.
>>283397187Who knows if Mashiro will even be a contender or throw her hat into the ring
>>283396900Sex
>>283386548Shiramine is the girl I want to win but she only has a chance if the other two friendzone themselves.The odds of that aren't zero but they aren't great either.
>>283400348>winShe's not even in the game
>>283400724Well I've not read all of Vol 3 so that might change
>>283395402Is that the short story included with the manga?
>>283401705Well spotted
>>283386942The best imoutos are brats who love their onii-chan.
>>283400348She deserves happiness
Hanamitsuji doesn't deserve the hate. I think all three heroines are great
>>283402173Hmm I like this interaction and it made me want to check the manga until i read that she had no chance. Is the first girl lool like she's going to win ?
>>283403714I don't think she stands no chance, her arc literally just started and the series only has 3 volumes thus far.
>>283402173>supposed to be meh looking>Nanamura looks handsome anywayThe magic of 2D
>>283404162Maybe but in romcoms the winner is usually easy to spot within the first 3 volumes (Oregairu). I dropped makeine because it was so obvious the blue hair character was going to win which makes the other heroines kinda irrelevant
>>283404607I feel like Hoshigasaki is being set up as the winner since we cover so much of her problems. Dunno how much that will stay true.
>>283402173Why is she depressed?
>>283404607In which case Hoshigasaki is being set up as a winner but it's not anything concrete, we get less moments in her POV but she's got a lot more development with Nanamura than the other girls thus far considering even Hanamitsuji's first volume was split between her and Hoshigasaki's problems
>>283404596Nanamura's problem is that he's got dead eyes like 8man which ruins his otherwise okay looking face
>>283386187New romcom slop?
Personally I like the Class Prez
Will they ever address Hanamitsuji being a shrine maiden and the fact she literally wished this time travel to happen? Like I feel this shouldn't be ignored
>>283396900
>>283406928Not new
>>283395484Nanamura: Yuuma UchidaHanamitsuji: Reina UedaHoshigasaki: Sayumi SuzushiroShiramine: Akari KitouKadotani: Sayuri YahagiHiiragi: Hisaka YokoSatsuki: Marika Kouno
How am I supposed to believe this guy is supposedly ugly
>>283408117Wrong image
>>283407561who are all these voice actors
>>283408173>>2834081172d logic. It's kinda how in some manga the hottest girl in school isn't even top 5 and the plain protagonist is actually the prettiest girl in the manga.
>>283386548>>283393797>>283400348>>283402173>>283404607The concept of winners, is cancer for good written and romance
>>283409437spoken like a true loser
>>283394144Genuinely with no irony, same. I can be social but i cant stand pretending to care to keep a relation up, i rather not bother.
>>283409437Dunno about that one
>>283409437Isn't it a harem ?
Say something nice about this brat
>>283411622Only one girl may be interested in him but that might just be guilt. So no, it's only 1 girl.
>>283386403>First girl syndrome is too fucking ingrained in Nip writingEven if it won't be the case on these two cases, things are starting to change
>>283412649Chiwa and Ai weren't first girls but yeah
>>283412649Ugh. Goddess Terrace Cafe and Quints both hurts me because I actually liked all of the heroines.
>>283386403Aoi isn't going to win the Tomozakibowl
>>283411622yes, my dear frog
>>283412691They both were in the novels
>>283406957same, i hope we see more of her in volume 3 if it gets translated one day
>>283413150Well the manga is moving to Volume 3 now so things are progressing quite nicely. The I think Chapter 33 onwards is Volume 3
where can i read/find the first two volumes?
>>283410939>>283411577That kills romance and makes bad writers
>>283413781
>>283413848You are proving my point, this is exactly what I'm talking about and this is the reason so many authors use that strategy instead developing the relationship between characters
>>283413541You could probably get the links on Novelupdates no? That's the usual site for LN Translation aggregates
Can't believe this thread has been up for this long, didn't expect it to have enough of a following here
>>283386584Sora and Mashiro a cute
>>283414757/a/ eats up Romcoms. Though the waifu wars of the mid 2010s will never ever be topped
>>283415483This series has a mid 10s flavor to it.
>>283416074It does try to focus a bit more on Friendship much like the older romcoms than strictly trying to just do romance
>>283386187>Yorokobe, Romcomfags.I read this with Kirei's voice
The first thing I ask for a romcom is what is the MC's redeeming factor?
>>283417290He's a retard who self sacrifices and is genuinely well meaning, he's just socially defective
>>283417290He's willing to admit he's wrong just by thinking it over even if he comes off as stubborn.
>>283417489>>283417583Interesting, so he's not as stubborn as Hachiman
>>283386584It feels like a series that would've been very popular 10 years ago yeah. By that I mean like 2015
>>283417906How much have romcoms really changed since then? At least in terms of trends.
>>283418106MCs are gigachads with few flaws nowadays.
>>283418106some of the newer ones i've been reading have some really aggressive girls.
>>283417290He is literally me
>>283386548Honestly no idea where the author's planning to go for Vol. 4, Shiramine's mini-arc has already been mostly resolved in Vol. 3 and I highly doubt we're getting a 4th main heroine. Perhaps they skip straight to Christmas and new year shenanigans given the mention (delusions) from MC of Hanamitsuji in a miko dress in the epilogue?
>>283419743maybe the dog >>283396900 will join the bowlor maybe his imouto will cotton on to him being a time traveler
>>283419743I suggest Volume 4 will go back to Hanamitsuji and focus on her and Kadotani's relationship as well as her growing sentiment of thinking she stunted her growth
>>283418866>>283417290I don't really remember the MC being a cynic, he's just kind of a retard and is pessimistic.
>>283419743Kadotani probably, or maybe Hiiragi
>>283395425Hoshigasaki is a lot more proactive than I thought she would be since she's sometimes spineless. I think she's doing it for more than guilt for him being a punchline and wanting to help him.In the end it's still making him look bad for her to be so magnanimous to him. I assume that if they ever date people would think he's blackmailing her.
>>283420330>kind of a retard and is pessimisticYep, that's me alright
I think the gyaru is the only girl I actually like
