Apparently this is the only way for the main girl to get a boyfriend and canon sex scene in the future... It has to be with the author lol.
i tried the rent-a-girlfriend service while in japan and looks like im not the only one. sounds like its mostly all foreign guys paying them because of the anime
>>283388368is this ai or real? kazuya died?
>>283388729It's still Kazuya, just with a haircut.
>>283388592is truei was anon rental girlfriend
>>283388368Based Reiji
>>283388368Wha kind of super virgin do you have to be to do this? Like this dude is a grown ass man.
>>283388368You guys laugh at him but he is rich and probably fucks with her every day in his dreams
>>283389084He's married and has kids IRL, you can tell. Only an unhappy married man would write something like this.
>>283388762This looks so dumb because the styles clash so dramatically
The chigyu GOD himself has done it again
>>283388368KWAB
>>283388368Author starts posessing the body of the MC to claim the main heroine all for himself.
>>283389174>step 1thats the miki yazawa way
>>283389139This would mean Reiji settled down with his wife, and had kids simply by inertia and self preservation, not because he loved her.He probably had a Mizuhara in the past that rejected him. And by inertia he knew a Mini and settled with her.
Reiji is the new AnnoAnd the haters are the new evangelion essayists
>>283388368bad ending averted
>>283389115>probably fucks with her every day in his dreamsEveryone can do that.
For some reason I can't help but hate the rent a girlfriend MC even if I haven't read the manga. I want the most horrible ero guro situations to happen to Chizuru while he watches powerless.
>>283388368This man is just begging for violent NTR doujins starring him to be made.
>>283388368JUST FUCK MY SHIT UP
>>283388368Wasn't his hair brown? Did he really need to dye it black?
>>283389529he was dying it brown
mami is best girl lol
>>283389369He may be a hack but Jesus tapdancing Christ the man can draw gorgeous female characters.
>>283388368Beast mode
>>283389369when did her tits get so big i thought the manga version had smaller tits
>>283388368>This whole time this story has been about a man writing about the One who got away while being unhappily married....Kino
>>283388368Imagine being so afraid of being cucked by your own protagonist, the self-insert you personally made to fall in love with your tulpa waifu, that you have to drop all pretenses and turn him into literally (you), mind and body. That's so pathetic that I almost feel bad for him desu.
>>283389345This would be so much funnier. What a shame
>>283388368He's doing it for the bit, right?
>>283389139What does his wife look like?
>>283388368So basically he became the japanese version of Jake Goldman?
>>283388368Based
>>283388368What other artists are this shameless?
>>283390489Usagi Drop?
>>283390336>mentally ill narcissist, Japan
>>283388368Isn't it funny, that a bunch of retards are religiously reading a romance developed by a guy who has never had a girlfriend.
>>283390771Virgin post.
Would you have rented her?
>>283390089Probably like Mini or Ruka, but after hitting the wall kekypow.
>>283388762It would have been fine if he just stuck with the old haircut, maybe trim the bangs a bit, and undyed it. But we want the grandpa fucker haircut I guess.
By this point I'm pretty sure paying to watch another man fuck your wife is less cucked than reading this shit
>>283389329>Reiji is the new AnnoThat's Fujimbo.Or maybe Ryo when she was writing SnA. That ending made me have Eva 3.33+1.11 vietnam flashbacks.either sensei or faggot should have won, dammit!!!.
>>283390891>By this point I'm pretty sure paying to watch another man fuck your wife is less cucked than reading this shitbro that's pretty cucked
>>283389084and thats kids how I met your mother.
>>283388762Tell me this is a joke please >>283390089There was a time where people theorized maybe the Reiji-wife looked like Chorizo and there were pics around, but it turned out to be just a cosplayer and the whole thing was a lie.Regardless, even if Chizuru were to be inspired in his wife.... Well, that would be the equivalent of how the author of gravity falls made Mabble -annoying bitch- based on his sister.
>>283388762how the fuck does this have 400 chapters
>>283390089Younger version of Kazuyas mother
>>283389303The only thing that would make the whole thing better(worse) is if the wife and kids turned out to be fake. Just an story he created imagining being married with Chizuru.It would be almost at the same level than the time Fujimoto was discovered using a duplicate account on Twitter of his (non existent) sister
>>283390866How much are you allowed to do while renting her?...won't lie I don't even watch this crap, just the threads.Is touching hands the most you can possibly do through the agency?I assume something beyond that, even a harmless kiss would be prohibited?
>>283390866no, but I would fuck her
>>283388368HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
>>283390810But enough about yourself.
>>283388368Even his face looks more ugly and stupid
>>283389697is this the mc of this slop? is he gay or something? why do japanese people think it's funny to yell and scream at a girls advances or are they all faggots?
>>283392303You post pepes, you dont get to judge
post more of the sexy prostitute
>>283389807Chizuru always had huge tits because she can't be less than any other girl in any regard.
>>283388368>>283388762Is the manga actually gonna end for real now? Haven't read it for years...
>>283392406>>283389697yes that's the MC, but they're siblings who just found out after 15 years that they aren't siblings...
>>283391124Because the girls are hot and Kazuya is unfortunately relatable to japs.
>>283392782yes, 35-50 chapters left at most.
>>283388368I mean, didn't he take his 1:1 scale cutout of Chorizo on a date or something?
>>283392875Kazuya isn't relatable, he's just generic enough that you can project whatever you want onto him
>>283392406Anon I should hope that you would feel at least nominally uncomfortable if the girl you've spent 16 years believing to be your biological sister mounted you like bitch in heat.
>>283392495
>>283391409Yeah you pretty much nailed it. I'm not even sure if handholding would be permissable.
>>283393003>genericNo, generic would be something like the dude in Nagatoro or whatever. Kazuya is a simp on a level that's genuinely alienating.
>>283393057I would feel disgusted too, that some not blood related hussie would want my seed.
>>283389303well he's a nip, that's how most of them get married and have kids
>>283393166the dude from nagatoro wasn't generic enough. neither is the dude from bisque doll or uzaki or any of the waifu anime. those men are far too well adjusted for a typical male nip.
Which girl would you have dated?
>>283388368>fell in love with his waifu >hated the MC he created>his solution: turn MC into himselfI have to kneel for the sheer audacity.
>>283393468frankly, whichever one was genuinely interested in me and liked me. none of these whores though.
>>283390771Instead he's happily married with kids that are biologically his.Meanwhile, at 283390771-san's home...
>>283388368even if the facial features are the same as kazuya's, the transformation was actually a slow calculated move, but still that looks nothing like Reiji... it just looks like a really shitty version of kazuya.
>>283393600His wife & kid live in a separate house.
>>283388368>>283388762Doesn't he have a wife and child?
>>283393626Yes, the house he goes home to every day. Reiji owns two homes. One is where he goes to work, the other is where he sleeps. He is so rich he gets to work from home at a separate house in goddamn Tokyo, Japan.
>>283393678He sleeps at the house were he works and he goes on dates with his fictional waifu. I would've divorced him already if I was his wife.
>>283393735>He [headcanon ignoring everything I said]based retard brownoid poorfag
>>283388368I kept telling you fuckers that Kazuya would never, ever, ever, ever, ever get it on with Chorizo because she belongs to the author. This isn't surprising if you have merely observed Reiji and how his mind works. Chorizord belongs to Reiji. The man created his ideal woman and sealed her inside a mediocre Weekly Sunday Magazine serial so that he could get paid to draw her for years on end. There's also the obvious fact that images have spiritual power and all art can be likened to a ritual designed to make the intangible essence tangible. He's drawn so many icons of Her (Chizesus) and poured so much of his loosh into the process that I wouldn't be surprised if he's receiving nightly visits from Her and hearing Her voice.
>>283393678Wouldn't a normal person have an office? That sounds like tax evasion to me, using a residential property for commercial activity. Makes you wonder what other nefarious activities he's up to that let him keep writing this shit for 400 chapters
>>283393642he doesn't live with them
>>283393865>poured so much of his looshExplain this to me.
>>283393933>nooooo you can't do thaat
>>283393642He does. See >>283393678
>>283393678>>283393767It's a pretty common practice in Japan where you have an apartment closer to your job in the city while your family stays at a separate place further out. It's pretty safe to assume that's what Reiji's doing. How often he actually visits home is hard to say.
>>283393865>poured so much of his looshWhat is that?
>>283394164It's plainly obvious to the average person that Reiji neglects his family. All he's concerned with at this point is busting fag, Jap-nuts to his fictional anime mega-slut.
>>283389211>miki yazawa wayWho?
The author is correct. Only people who make themselves look that disgustingly ugly deserve fates worse than death. They manifest hell for themselves. Buzzcuts and baldness is a sign of slavery and unhealthyness.Just look at him! He looks like a TOTAL retard! They both do!
>>283388368Not even fags that read yaoi or yuri are this pathetic
>>283389329Evangelion essayists actually liked Eva THOUGH
>>283389329Nah, by that logic SAO was the Evangelion of its time.
>>283394501>The author is correct. Only people who make themselves look that disgustingly ugly deserve fates worse than death.When did he say that?
>>283394564I mean>tons of video essays on how it could be improved>a fucking white man made a career out of those kind of essaynot that far off
>>283394564according to zoomers and "I'm not a zoomer, mom!"s it is
>>283394623>>a fucking white man made a career out of those kind of essayWho?
>>283389914>zoomer talking about patheticBrother, you own existence is the personification of pathetic .
No idea what people are talking about, I just came here to say that Ruka it's the best girl and she's wasted on this dogshit series
>>283391086>turned out to be just a cosplayerNo fucking way westoids took the official chizuru cosplayer as his wife.Do you niggas not interact with humans or something? both of you, the ones who read it and the ones who hate it.
You guys really hated the haircut didn’t you?
>>283394164It's pretty obvious to anyone who actually follows Reiji's twitter that he has a fantastic work/life balance.
>>283388762>People read this slop on weekly basis and worst of all, they have been doing it for yearsGRIM
>>283391086>and there were pics around,What pics?
>>283394803how so
>>283388368So he's inserting himself as the guy who jizzed in his swimshorts in a pool fantasising about his crush getting fucked senseless by a more handsome dude?
>>283391086>girl and boy take a photo together>AIIIIIE THEY ARE MARRIED AND BANGINGthe absolute state of vanillacucks
why does everyone hate the MC? the main girl keeps cucking him and he still pursues her or something like that?
>>283394855>>girl and boy take a photo together>>AIIIIIE THEY ARE MARRIED AND BANGINGThe possibility of this happening is greater than 0, it's actually likely.
>>283388368I would say based, but we're talking about a ntr-bait manga... so it's actually quite pathetic.
>>283393617>the transformation was actually a slow calculated move,What's the endgame?
>>283394849No, you misunderstand.This is just alignment. Reiji still considers himself separate from MC.
>>283395329MC gets a contrived reason to get his name legally changed into his.
>>283394671You forgot to turn your monitor on, Lil bro
>>283394745why not? maybe his wife was into cosplaying, you never know
>>283390336>goldmanevery single time
>>283388592that is incredibly cringe inducing
>>283394671>>zoomerHuh?
>>283388368KEK! I read it earlier today. I literally saw the identical look. Imagine being unhappy with a wife and 2 kids that you make this manga. Something tells me he is probably slipping around on his wife with a rentahoe. Probably has a secret account making bank from the show and the sterilization.
>>283393468Ruka every single time
>>283396010>and the sterilization.What sterilization?
>>283388592>and looks like im not the only oneno shit faggot. You're telling me that the service of renting a whore to not do whore things isn't being used by every single virgin in the vicinities?
>>283389345This was the good ending.
>>283393468Ruka is the only one that would love me for me and not pretend if she hated me.So Ruka.
>>283388762Lmao Kazuya got skin walkered by his author
>>283395345This is why only brown people is pushing thisNot even mutts and chinks believe such angle because is too retarded.
>>283393468Mini would be the only one I would consider going that far with
>>283388368That hairstyle is awful
>>283388368>You will never make a manga that anons would read about you having a harem of girls before going the solo route and then transforming the MC into your real life version so you could make canon you banged your OC waifu while getting rich and having millions of anons watch.
>>283388368Unfathomably based
>>283398466>ESL>Talking shit about brown peopleNever change /a/nons.
>>283388592i would do it just to get a tour guide desubut i already have a japanese girlfriend
>>283398466>non-sequitur babble about brown peopleWhat in the fuck are you on aboutShut up nigger
>>283388368>>283388762Yeah, there's no way he's getting another manga series after this shit ever ends.
>>283399341He's a living mint, anon. The man prints money. Even if Shiunji-ke isn't doing great I guarantee you that this man will continue to have opportunities. Especially as an artist paired with a capable writer. It would be insane not to keep lapping at the Miyajima Money Teat.
>>283399341Who said anything about ending it?Golgo 13 is still running, isn't it?
>>283399534Yeah but the og author died.
>>283393985>>283394369life force energy harvested by reptilians
>>283399244>>283399304That image I only saw it from accounts with alien language.Meanwhile on moonrunes land, they are, pretty much, expecting another long ass arc.https://www.x.com/mute02020306/status/1983462717433557245so yes, only brown people are wet at the self-insert angle.Pretty much believing that pic is to confirm your skin color is brown.
>>283393642He lives with a wife and her child.
>>283388368BASED!living the dream of dual life
>>283399916>Pretty much believing that pic is to confirm your skin color is brownbelieving which pic? this is from the latest two chapters... I don't see it as a self insert of the author, but the change in visuals of the male lead is quite jarring. at least his longer, lighter dyed hair was hiding his ugly neck and ears...
>>283388592That is extremely based
>>283399394If we can learn from boruto, he will not obtain the same level of "popularity" from his previous manga if he makes a new one and will probably be axed within the same year.
>>283401616He already has a second manga that's serialized right now and it even has an anime
>>283399916Holy kek.So maybe july 11th is where Chizuru once again dumps Kazuya, but now bc his growth was fake and shit, because he didn't change in the inside and his new haircut gave her vietnam flashbacks. That's the straw that breaks Kazuya's camel back and the situation is used by Mami to make him go back with her.Chizuru realizes she fucked up things beyond any repair Timeskip to septenber, Kazuya returns to his bleached hair, but now at Kurt Cobain's length. Even if he got back with Mami and is trying to forget about Chizuru by overfocusing on his new job and redo of the relationship, he can't. His depressed and even overly stressed out behavior is manifested through eyebags. Kazuya is asked by Mami a last petition: to help her escape from her family.
Vol. 43 cover.Nips can say what they want. They, just like us, have expectations about Reiji intending to drag out the arc, but tankoubons catching up with the weekly releases aren't a good signal for the series continuity. The previous volume was released just barely a month ago.
>>283402657Forgot the pic.It will be released on november 17th.
>>283388368Jesus, and I thought the attack on titan guy had some issues
>>283402667kek, blatant fan service cover, he has to sell chapter 380 somehow
>>283388368He has become a Better Man
>>283402713He ain't doing it for himself, but to score points.Saw the chapter and he's gonna hit his head into a diamond bricked wall.
>>283393735No, he sleeps at home with his family. He did mention in the interview that he SOMETIMES sleeps in the apartment he uses as a office, but it's clearly not a common occurrence. See >>283394803 Reiji has a pretty good work/personal life balance. He's notoriously fast at drawing and there a lot of pointless filler in the manga that requires zero planning
>>283402667Ohhh, finally some ass and a not anorexic body! Reiji needs to work on on his boobs art, but the rest is perfect.
>>283391086>Tell me this is a joke pleaseIt's just people hating on the manga because it's getting 400 chapters and a 5 season of the anime. People can't stand the fact this still goes on when all their series are getting axed left and right.
>>283399394>Especially as an artist paired with a capable writer.He's a capable writer though. A 400 chapters (for now) series, with 5 anime seasons is no small feat. Pair it up with him still being able to write, when he wants, chapters that are considered good by everyone, not just the fans, and you have basically the perfect manga writer.
>>283402870Volume releases are catching up tho.Saying it will be axed may be an exaggeration, but this doesn't seem to have more steam going on. Mid or late 2026 seems to be a good ending point.
>>283402919>chapters that are considered good by everyone, not just the fansTell me you're being sarcastic without telling me you're being sarcastic.
>>283402933>Mid or late 2026 seems to be a good ending point.Not at all, there are a lot of plot points left to addressed and the story is known for its very slow pacing
>>283402771Women will like you if you be a Better Man and empower their voices and don’t get threatened when they are Strong and Independent
>>283402947I'm not, but believe what you want, I don't give a flying fuck. I count as much as the people in the west constantly shitting on the manga: like pissing in the ocean
>>283393468If I say Chizuru, would Reiji write me out?
>>283393468Mami. I would love to date a batshit insane girl that loves me way too much
>>283402977>Not at all, there are a lot of plot points left to addressed and the story is known for its very slow pacing>Umi was already rejected>Mami's gettin' closure.>Sumi was already written off>Miho was just an afterthought.>Ruka and Mini as double final bosses who antagonize each other.After 390, Reiji's simply filling a checklist. He doesn't care for anyone not named Mizuhara.
>>283403113Forgot>El padre as the extra boss.
Why do so many people develop these schizo grudges against authors?
>>283403113- Umi is still a bitter bitch trying to stir up shit. He was rejected already many times - Mami is seemingly getting closure, yes- Miho is part of the bigger plot point that is Chizuru's acting career - Ruka needs a proper closure still Here are some other plot points that needs to be addressed:- Kazuya's career and how it'll affect his relationship with Chizuru - Kazuya's grandma dying - The lie being resolved - Kazuya and Chizuru dating properly - Kazuya and Chizuru banging - Chizuru's dad- etc
>>283403130The final boss will be awakened Chizuru's lust for Kazuya. Doubt he will survive sex with what is basically a superwoman
>>283388368Why did you guys read this for 400 chapters man? This is worse than reading isekaislop or shonenshit.
>>283388762>>283388368
>>283403222How do you know if you didn't read those 400 chapters though (chapter 400 will come out next week btw)

>>283406055Realistic and a reflection of modern relationships, especially in a nihilistic anthropocenic extinguishing Japan.Fujimbo was right about men and women are better separated than together. Nowadays, man and woman can't compliment each other, they now compete against each other, and there's an inner rivalry and battle of dominamce between the parts. The one who loses decides the relationship's fate. If the man loses, he gets seen as a loser in the relationship and will get NTR'd once the woman finds someone beyter and the man is being left behind.If the woman loses, the man will finally possess him. Now the key for a relatively healthy relationdhip is for men and women being equals and go back and forth in the dominance battle.

>>283413137>What exactly do you think is going to happen at this stage?Ruka winning. Chizuru losing. Dead grandma. Mami winning.
Everything is falling into place....evil Ruka soon...
>>283413573>Ruka winningKazuya will never love her.>Chizuru losingKazuya will always love her>Dead GrandmaCool, Kazuya still loves Chizuru and vice versa.>Mami winningMami is for me.
>>283402919People just hate-read him. Once this manga end so does his career, he knows that that's why he keeps the bubble alive as much as he can before it bursts.
>>283405451this bitch creepy as hell
>>283389139So? Doesnt change that what he did is downright stupid and laugh material.The kids will get bullied because their dad wanted to fuck his character instead of his real wife
ok, so NOW will kazuya finally get to fuck her?
>>283388762Can someone recap this shit to me? Why did he cut and dye his hair?
>>283393468None, they're all tainted whores and worth less than shit.
>>283389084He's also married and with a kid.
>>283388368This is such a nothingburger. Giving a shit about this is the most unemployed thing you could possibly do.
It's all a ruse to keep people reading the manga
>>283414064No sorry. She’s still too good for him.
Out of all the things to happen this is by far the funniest.
>>283414122As of now there isn't any special reason, he just did it out of the blue and he thinks that it will make him more attractive somehowIf you ask me, the metareason it's because he kind of looks like Mami's (blonde girl) ex boyfriend and her plot might finally advance
>>283392157I need her.
>>283388368please be real
>>283414122He's having job interviews, you can't have them with your hair dyed in japan for normal jobs.
>>283393468Sumi is the only one I'd date but I would absolutely powerfuck Mami for 18 hours a day if I could.
>>283416004It's real >>283359369
>>283402667A new cover like this, but with Ichinose and from behind, when?
>>283416332this is the fucking worst manga i've ever read
I genuinely want the rental whore to suffer and experience torment. Can we get a shitty amnesia arc of Kazuya only ever having memories of dating Mami and nothing else just to move the "story". That way we get to relive Mami remembering why she dumped him or maybe she lost out or some shit.
>>283417437You're gonna turn this series into a bloodbath with that kind of development. At the very least Mami and Ruka's blood.
>>283417437That shit would turn into Golden Time plot+Boys Abyss misery+Kanokari insanity if that happens.
>>283403916Looks to me like the following steps:1. make the pane its own layer with a simple base color, add some basic gradients to resemble the background and shadow from the frame2. using the original sketch of the character, do a lineart-less sketch of the covered part of the character3. with an extremely soft brush or radial gradient tool using adjacent background colors from the pane, add cloud-like objects on top4. add a standard "TV static" noise filter on top to suggest the bumpy surface texture that these panes usually have. Maybe in Overlay mode? Or my mind is playing tricks on me and this is just a Multiply and the character portion of the pane has surprisingly bright base colors.I would disagree a bit with >>283406419 in that I don't think the character was ever fully drawn behind the pane and frame. The style looks different to me. The colors are flatter, the part where the hair ends around the shoulders looks sketchier, and I don't see any signs of lineart.
>>283417437This would turn this manga from a "Romcom" to a full blown drama
i dont know how he manged to look worse
>>283388368He looks exactly like I would expect the mangaka of Rent-a-Girlfriend to appear.
>>283392157With AI and 3D augmented goggles or some such, this will be a reality. But in like the late 2030's, if that.
>>283388368All i know is i hate rom com fags, slice of life fans, romance fans, and CGDCT fags.All of you are just fucking simps.
>>283417213This isn't even the worst chapter that has been released this month lol
>>283388368It really goes to show that the thing that makes Kazuya's face so insanely punchable is his insufferable expressions. Every time I see Kazuya making his many anxious faces, I get an overwhelming urge to want to strangle him and watch the life leave his eyes.He emotes the same way a highschool shoujo manga female protagonist does. It works on female characters because it's endearing. But it doesn't work on male characters because it's faggoty, effeminate behavior.
>>283418672Idk why but he looks like a racist japanese caricature here
>>283418044>t. scholar
>>283388368Reminder
based honestly, the girls give the mc attention anyways
>>283398151Ruka's "love" is about as fake as it gets. She saw her heart rate checker go up and immediately decided she's in love. What the hell does she even like about Kazuya? She hasn't made anything like that clear.
Author is not rich btw upper middle class only if the manga sells well
>>283420100Anon he arguably saved her life just because she was the rental gf of his friend, no shit she fell for him her love is as real as it gets
>>283388368>>283388762This is so based!
I want to cheat on my wife with my fictional character.
>>283420193> it had 14 million copies in circulation by September 2025.Even if it sold only 8 mil copies it's about 400 yen x 8 mil x0.1 (10% is what mangaka usually get from manga sales)/150 = about 2mil dollars + royalties for all merch and animeNot the richest mangaka but far from poor
>>283389174Man, that's a face that just screams "EVEN I DON'T KNOW HOW THIS SHIT IS SELLING!" Ride that gravy train you crazy bastard. Ride it into the night.
>>283402851>Reiji needs to work on on his boobs art,What can be improved about it?
>>283411172>it doesn't matter what Reji said before, the series is done when they get together.What did he say before? He would depict what happens after they become a couple?
>>283388592kek
>>283409114>nihilistic anthropocenic extinguishing Japan.What does that mean to the average person?
>>283418569Nothing will beat the pool boner. So iconic
>>283388762holy shit at least kazuya looked good or a bit handsome with that orange haircut, wtf is this
You laugh at the haircut but I think the character development was very much needed. Chizuru won’t let herself date an orange man so if she doesn’t love him in a more natural state she doesn’t love him at all.
>>283421257He needed to be MORE self inserty
>>283421606Its not just the visual metaphor for Kazuya trying to improve himself, its also actually makes him look more like Chizuru's grandpa. So that when she finally sees him again shes gonna ovulate immediately.
>>283388368Wow, he is HIM (in a cringy and desperate way)
how do you go from AKB49 to this shit?
>>283423650I don't think we have seen Chizuru grandpa when he was young
>>283417437Would unironically be entertaining as fuck
>>283389303>This would mean [x] settled ... and had kids simply by inertiaThat's true of most people.
why would anyone choose choriputas flapjacks over rukas fat firm jk tits?
>>283424478I'm pretty sure Kanokari is older
>>283390866Yeah and grope her too I'm paying good money after all.
>>283413627He already has another succesful ongoing manga, you know.
>>283393108cute
>>283424478Age
>>283425912Not really? His other manga isn't as popular as Kanokari and it doesn't have a lot going on for it
>>283388368based
>>283388592Soooo... is kiss available?
https://x.com/Miyajimareiji/status/1984229311889764719?t=HfTi8XFRAmcgNNv8JrBDsQ&s=19Is this a new illust or not
>>283389174Lol saved
>>283391124Most manga these days is made for dickless faggots and simps.
>>283424732I think we did see him young in Sayuri's flashbacks of him but its more about how Chizuru saw him she was younger. Kazuya is looking more like him here. Chizuru was already melting before cause Kazuya's smell reminded her of her grandpa while she was piggyback riding him back to the house from their big date. Its all setup for when she finally sees him again on the 11th shes gonna lose her shit.
>>283406958Don't disrespect my man Yuuki like that. He actually has chemistry with the main female lead.
>>283427411I don't know, he still doesn't looks like her grandpa and granted, I don't think Reji cares enough about consistency to avoid making that mistake but it's still a reach and for what really? It makes more sense that he looks like Tooru given that he just bumped into Mami
>>283427206A recycled illust with modifications.She originally carried her bag and was smiling, not a halloween basket.
>>283427411>shes gonna lose her shit.She's gonna get angry at him bc his haircut gonna trigger Chizuru's survivor guilt ptsd.
>>283427819>TooruTarou*Tooru looks a lot different.
>>283427814lmao ok

>>283428434TL'd>CafeAnd so the legend continues. A year later, Shusui has opened a dojo for the Tsuruga-ryu style, and many students have gathered around him, including children and Fuwa's grandchildren. Not only Shiragiku and Shusui, but Ryusei and Ohka are still living together. How long will they stay? Shiragiku says she's taken a permanent position at Familia. Ryusei says the battle isn't over because Hayato and Momiji might get divorced. Ohka says she hasn't promised to leave no matter who she chooses. Meanwhile, Momiji and Shusui are alone, and she asks Shusui how his training went. They've fought a lot, but it seems Sara is still the strongest. Shusui asks Momiji why they're only alone when they sleep, and Momiji bashfully replies that it's for something. She asks what that is, but the child doesn't answer. They haven't done it yet. Ryusei, Shiragiku, and Ouka are completely naked in the bath, with Ryusei's small breasts making a stunning comeback in the art. Ouka, who overheard Momiji and Shusui talking, reports that they haven't done it yet. Shiragiku feels responsible. Feeling sorry for them, Shiragiku and Ryusei are thinking of doing something for Hayabusa and Momiji. Hayabusa and Momiji's bedroom. Momiji's scars are still there, which Hayabusa finds bothering, but to Momiji, even the scars are precious memories. Hayabusa is not interested, but Ryusei, Shiragiku, and Ouka barge in and suggest that they all have sex. Hayabusa is angry, but Momiji says that's fine, and, ignoring Shusui who is fast asleep, says that she has given her wife's permission and the orgy is about to begin.A major announcement is made about the start of a new series in the January 14th issue of Weekly Shonen Magazine. This romantic comedy is set on a remote island.(1/2)
>>283428459>KanoIs this the start of a long Asami story?The cover illustration marks the start of a new chapter with Kazuya and Asami.Why is Asami here!?Kazuya is confused by Asami's shy and quiet demeanor.It turns out this is Asami's first time at the driving school.Asami heads off to the classroom without continuing the conversation, Kazuya rummages through his thoughts.He can't concentrate at all.He can't stop thinking about Asami.The famous Kanojo-san onlookers are even whispering to Asami, saying she's cute and definitely a model.And Kazuya, also a famous Kanojo-san onlooker, begins to express his inner thoughts, describing her as an overwhelming princess-like figure.He's watching the video of the lesson and fantasizing about a sweet drive with Mizuhara.After a while, Asami suddenly calls out to him.When Asami asks if he's finished scheduling, he replies "just in case," and Asami holds up her smartphone and asks to take a picture.Fast-fire.Thank you.He's confused, not understanding Asami's true intentions about why he needs my schedule.Was she just using it as reference? Do you want to coordinate our schedules? Or do you want to avoid spending time with me?At this point, Kazuya remembers that Asami called him once and forgot to call her back, so he apologizes to her.Do you still like me, Kazu-kun?Double page spreadKazuya is surprised by Asami's serious question.Next time: going on the defensive.Holy fuck, this is gonna be the foil to Chizuru and Umi's closure, but have a gut feeling Kazuya, unlike Chizuru, will relapse.
Btw, Cafe ended in a fucking orgy roru rumao and Ouka and Riho are expectant about Hayato and Akane divorcing someday so they can take him.
>>283413852Plastic surgery will do that
Amifag should just rope at this point
>>283428544If it's true, it's the final gift from seo.
>>283428655It's true.The spoilers also have the new WSM romcom announcement. Dunno if it's Seo's or from a new author. inb4, it's the new manga Ryou was hinting on her twitter>>283427206Not only Reiji, Ryou Minenami also recycled an old art for her halloween greetings tweaking it a bit.https://x.com/ryo_minenami/status/1984272730183922095?t=n9puDnL-EvkXGhBP3OC8HA&s=19Captchuh: P0NJA (Sponge)
>>283428633Still would.
>>283428434There's also this 目次作者コメント 連載は終了その後の話を短編で描こうと思ってるTable of contents / Author’s comment:“The serialization has ended, but I’m thinking of drawing a short story about what happens afterward.”So likely the orgy isn't drawn in the chapter and will be in this short story
>>283406093She gets off on manipulating men emotionally and dumping them, as well as sabotaging people's relationships, anon. The text could not have been more clear about that. She's not a good person.
>>283427814Sure he does, but he's a giga manslut and she's a hyper cuckquean
Mami gonna get vietnam flashbacks to Tarou after seeing Kazuya's new look.>>283428979We can't judge a character merely by her actions. Mami may have her reasons to act like that.Kanokari should have been a seinen manga, characters are too deep and complex for shounenbabies.
>>283388368Hasn't it always been obvious that Kazuya is Reiji's self-insert? I wouldn't be surprised if this manga was at least semi-autobiographical.
>>283428459>and the orgy is about to beginlmao. So I guess everybody won.
>>283429632How Kuzu met his wife.I'd even bet Niwatori's wife being an irl Mini and not le super 1000000/10 goddess Zuru is gonna be reflected in the series finale.
Kanokari x Purple Turd collab for vol. 8 release.Notice how Arata only appears next to Banri. Foreshadowing of who will win? Will this unravel Niwatori's fetish for used/broken goods and older sister-type characters?
>>283430583Isn't the other series made by Reji too? Is he...collaborating with himself?
>>283430715Yes and yes.
>>283430872How the fuck does that work?
>>283389345Otp
>>283429632He was, but itv wasn't so on your face
>>283393468All 4.
>>283392157Cute
>>283388368When the series ends, does he kill himself because Chizuru is gone and he has nothing to live for?
>>283437157He's just going to do a sequel where him, I mean Kazuya and Chizuru live together
>>283434543No Mini? Not that I like her but still
>>283389177>>283389900>>283390000>>283403222>>283406055>>283408033>>283418044Very nice
>>283428459It's funny because since the confession/wedding were skipped and the leak of the final chapter doesn't mention anthing about it there's still no mutual kiss between Hayato and Akane, she always stole her kiss and he also never actually said ILY to her.
>>283428516>Mami confession happeningWTF REIJI BASED I LOVE RENT-A-GIRLFRIEND
how the fuck you make your MC even more generic
Genuinely what's worse?>cucking Kazuya for 200+ chapters because you're in love with the heroine you wrote and don't want your MC to NTR you>turning your MC into yourself so you can larp you're the one who is fucking the heroine
>>283388368I thought Kazuya had orange hair?
>>283439943he bleached them. in japan they love add orange shit in the mix to not fully larping with pure golden blond like gaijins
>>283392406>or are they all faggotsWell about that...
>>283388368>self insert >self insert as an unabashed cuck
>>283428979mansluts don't remain virgins like him.
>>283438665
>>283388368I am usually very tolerant and patient with other people's tastes and opinions when it comes to art and fictional media, but if you are still on board with this fucking garbage you're a fucking moron.
>>283388592I prefer the little brother onsens. Women are boring.
>>283440637If it wasn't for the constant cockblockers he 100% would've fucked one of the girls by now (Tenka and Himari being the top two most likely).
>>283440980and if my grandpa had 3 balls he would be a pinball machine, it's in the author's hands and that's what they choose to do, I quit after 110 something chapters, is just the same stuff in cycles, I suspect is gonna be like this until the extras of the last volume.
>>283390866lewd
>>283439735Don't worry, he will turn his hair normal again after a couple of chapters and this while debacle will have been for nothing, Reji is a masterbaiter after all
>>283440808>horse garbageComplete lack of self-awareness.
>>283440391Why do retards here always fall for sensationalist bullshit made by journos?
>>283440554Reji can't make up his mind if Kazuya it's his self insert or not, that being said he was screwed anyways because he would have to draw his waifu kissing another guy so who is the real cuck?
>>283428516What the hell is going on with this magazine, how come it came several days early this time?
>>283445645Maybe it's due to Halloween? No idea if Japs celebrate it but last time the spoilers got released earlier was on a holiday week
>>283438545I think it’s weird excluding Mini but the original four do look nicer when the cast is smaller.
>>283389139I'm questioning wether his kids are actually his biologically, I won't be surprised if that were the case
>>283445645There's a holiday next monday: the culture day
As a trump voter and general all around /pol/ god. Is this what leftists read?
>>283446971Leftist would never read, let alone financially support, defeatist bullshit like this.
>>283447051what would leftist read?
>>283447118Female mangaka series or One Piece.
If you wanna read NTRslop, then go read kanojo no tomodachi's latest chapter. MC got revenge NTRd.
>>283447118Lefties don't read manga, you have to read them from the right after all
>>283388368>Man so deep into his oneitis he would literally pay to stay with her, even if she's clearly not that interested in himI literally can't relate to this shit but i still feel sad for the protagonistIt almost feels like, for lack of a better term, a Humiliation Ritual, like the author is just talking revenge on someone else he knew or something, the guy is twisting the knife too much (and making it really obvious they're not ending together) to not be malicious
This manga is money laundering.You won't convince me that it isn't.
>>283447464>or something, the guy is twisting the knife too much (and making it really obvious they're not ending together) to not be maliciousYou really think Reiji could go Fujimbo or Asano levels of cruel?
