Rion won, Himarishit lost, all good in the world.
>>283624012So the answer to the title is "Yes"
>>283624012BASED
lolso what was the point of over half the volumes
>>283624012Both were evil and shit people, so nothing was lost in the end.Rion at least had bigger tits.
>>283624012Is this from the final volume ?
>>283624012SHITSUMON
>>283624666Yes, 12
>>283624012That image doesn't show her winning though?
>>283624710This and himari is the cover girl they always win in LNs
>>283624666>>283624686Final or latest?
CRUSHING BLUE DEFEAT
>>283624784As usual. Only black/brown/red/orange (caricaturized ginger)/blonde/pink (caricaturized strawberry blonde) hair with red/pink/yellow/green motifs will always be the winners.If you are blue, white or violet haired with blue/violet/black/white motifs, you're doomed to lose.
>>283624744Blue loser rule overrides cover girl rule
>>283624949Not in this case. The point of the "long haired heroine" is to be an obstacle to overcome for himari and the mc. The only way Rion would have won would have been her saying those words (or better the mc) in the final volume. Right now she's just been set up to lose
>>283625104Just ignore the schizo, he spends every day trying to trigger people in any romcom related thread regardless of whether he reads them or not
>>283625104It was the final novel, there is no set up
>>283625133 happy to be wrong then, i might pick the LNs again now,
>>283624857oh no, one of my favorite heroine in an other harem has long black hair, but purple eyes......she's definitely going to lose then....i disagree with the white haired part tho, i've seen many of them being the main heroine/winning.
Anna is really going to be the only winning heroine with blue hair
>>283625373Nah, they win often enough
>let's stay together forever and ever
>>283625373She's losing to Bassori
>>283625488Isn't she also blue?
>>283625505Basori's black haired (frequent winning hair color btw).
>>283625420can you give more than one or two examples ?
>>283625488I wish, but Anna is way too popular to lose (unlike Himari). The last episode of s1 was written by the author and was also hinting at her being endgame. At this point I feel bad for the other heroines since they already lost once
>>283625549Dennpa onnaFull metal panicKannagi
>>283625572Anna still has to stop being ambiguous, otherwise, she will get 8k'd again.
TOTAL BLUESHIT DEFEAT
>>283625736Yeah but right now, her dynamic with her mc is the most liked one. Everyone enjoys their banter and their tsun personalities. I'm sure the author is never going to make her unlikable like himari was but the moment she'll get serious will be also when the other teams will lose (again).
>>283625422>The boy/girl friendship did survivedDishonest title
>>283625549SukaSukaBokutachi no RemakeKimi ga Nozomu Eien
>>283626715>SukaSukaNot a win>Bokutachi no RemakeDunno haven't watched his>Kimi ga Nozomu EienBlue is a cheating whore, not really a win
>>283624857>If you are blue, white or violet haired with blue/violet/black/white motifs, you're doomed to loselollmao
>>283626683Saw a summary. The friendship did not survive too. After the graduation trip, Yuu and Himari chose to part ways and kind of cut ties with each other.
>>283624012Why is Rion doing a sexy pose?
>>283627213They goin to a love hotel, are u blind?
>>283624756Both
how did 2chan take the news?
>>283625572>>283626239You have to remember that the author also outright said that he made Makeine because he was upset that Ichigo from Darling in the Franxx lost. Anna has always been the end game and it isn't subtle.
>>283627241What is the 2chan? Is it similiar to 4chan, the site we are browsing right now?
>>283627242He also said that just making one of the loser heroines win would make it just like those other harems
>>283625572Anna is also a really good friend compared to HimariLemon in later volumes has a bit of Himari in her
>>283627229Eh...?Does Rion really seem like the horny or sexual type that wants to have sex a lot?
>>283625422Anna will avenge Himari
Even though both girls were hot I just couldn’t get into this series because the MC’s “muh accessories” seriously they couldn’t have pick a lamer deal for him.
>>283627283>Smellfag>Says she wouldn't mind doing it anywhere so long as it's with Yuu
Himariputabros...
>all these retards falling for it
>Designated loser gets to date MC first just to get dumped like garbageEvery single time
>>283624012himarishit was too dishonest and prideful, she deserved to lose. at least rion was faithful and upfront with her feelings. bonus points for never giving up. being a yandere and psychopath are normally demerits but only further cement her deep love for MC. she honestly deserved the win by a wide margin.
>>283625373Akane : Do I look like a joke to all of you?
>>283627609>posts black haired girl
>>283627609Lum is better
>>283627635Its Blue in both anime series. Manga usually has black and white colors.
I don't watch this shit but I think blue is hotter
>>283627802blue has boyish short hair throughout the series though, she only gets long hair at the end after the timeskip epilogue
>>283627242Yeah which is why I stopped reading, I felt too bad for the other girls since it's so obvious and also got bored by Anna antics. The fact that they are so many people still rooting for an other girl (basori, lemon, etc) is surprising..like why would put yourself through that..
>>283625661>Full metal panic>She was the only girl, there's got to be some kind of harem or a love triangle setting to be a win
>>283628083It's 2025 mate, how come you still haven't watched FMP?
>>283627497Kana's a bigger loser tho. Check this.https://x.com/Hiyo_fuwa/status/1987092398229590178?t=XMXJTQtB_esc7RbbrWCmUw&s=19K*nakekes just died yesterday.
>>283627497Soon this fucking menhera bitch will join to the loser roster roru rumao kekerino kekaroo
>>283627573>being a yandere and psychopath are normally demerits but only further cement her deep love for MC Feels like menhera winners like her and Nagi are becoming more common lately
>>283627748In color art, Rumiko painted Akane with black hair (or brown sometimes).
>>283628195She is black haired too.
>>283627242so he makes a series with a used goods whore main heroine? what sort of sense does that make
>>283628223>NagiBruh, the whole fucking town was more nuts than Nagi. At least she didn't go to the school of her competition to rat her out for having inappropriate behavior with a fellow student in a manga cafe or ratted her story to a showbiz gossip online mag or btfo'd to death her romantic rival or stole her phone and reawoke her survivor ptsd.And even if Reiji was becoming even more psycho than the whole town by the end, he directed that hateboner to the menhera teacher and the fucking tio de nagi.
>>283628223>Feels like menhera winners like her and Nagi are becoming more common latelyDon't forget Yots, Chiz will join them too soon
>>283627497you forgot this one
>>283628307Inspired by, not completely based on
>>283628171>14 likes>378 views>38 followers Did this retard really just posted his own profile?
>>283628102I just started reading LNs and before that, I didn't want to start an anime without an ending.
>>283627242That's right some people will write their own stories and publish them to make their favorite win...i'm currently reading a LN where the sarcastic loner dies while saving the cutest girl in school from a car accident...He came back to life and she wants to help him make friends...it's basically Yui and Hachiman 2.0 but there's no Yukinon
>>283628687in that case Yui is worst girl again and the other girls are better
>>283628580Read the thread, duh.Kanarats "strongest" argument (Gorou infodumping the traits Aqua would get attracted to) got debunked.
>>283628758I'll take that as a yes, you posted your own profile, lmao
>>283628829So who's coping here, Rionfags saying she won or Himarifags saying it's an open end?
>>283628751Yeah, the heroine in this LN seems inspired by the anime version of Yui, not the LN. Her only fault ig is that she never noticed the mc until he saved her life despite being in the same class for 2 years.
>>283628984Isn't that she the opposite of Yui, after 8man saved her dog Yui just ignored him for a tear while he suffered alone and only started to get better when sensei introduced him to Yukino, in this one FeMC basically made her entire life about helping MC after he saved her
>>283629045Him idk they have the same bubbly popularpersonality and the mc died while saving her, hachiman was injured but saved her dog, the stakes aren't the same. Despite being in the same class, she never spoke to him in two years and only noticed him after he jumped in front of a truck to save her. They have the whole guilt trip going on - both feel that they are nice to them because of what they did for her. And in the anime, Yui was nice to hachilan and tried to help him, she was better than in the ln.
>>283628933The author>Wanted to do a college arc>Author said no>Does an open end out of spiteApparently the LN received a boost from the anime but I doubt there is interest for season 2 right now.
>>283629318>Editor said no
>>283628687whats the title?
>>283627573>being a yandere and psychopath are normally demeritsYou need to be 18 or older to post here
>>283629305She reminds me more of Aoi than anyone else
>>283624012I only watched the anime and this cow was such a non-character.But I'm reading on the LN she is a Yandere?How much different the anime version is from the light novel?
>>283628687>but there's no YukinonAbsolutely based.
>>283629438Not different at all. She's not a yandere early on. She develops into one as her feelings become more intense.
how many times has a first girl/cover girl lost?
Do you beleeb anon?
>>283624012FUCKING BASADO
>>283630172Lmaothis is the final volume but the story is not over ?? is the author planning a spin off where himari and Yuu reunite later in life ? Maybe Himari will get into a car accident and Rion will call off the endgame or something
>>283628984>>283628687I like Sora as much as the next guy but Ruri is 100% a Yui clone. Sora is Aoi if Aoi wasn't a psycho.
>>283630266>Maybe Himari will get into a car accident and Rion will call off the endgamekek
>>283630306Aoi is not a psycho
This is the 2nd losing Himari this year, time for the third one
>>283630384>"I can't marry you, Natsuo. I love you and I'm pregnant with your child, but you should really marry my comatose sister instead."Is DomeKano the single shittiest ending in manga history?
>>283630266Ib4 author posts the true ending in their blog
>>283630541himiribros...
>>283630541There's still hope.
>>283630541That's an Iroha
>>283630541Who's the first?
>>283630577I think yuuna-san no yuragisou is almost as bad if we're just talking about romcoms
>>283628533Japs love their humiliation rituals
>>283630583The Konosuba method of "I decided not to commit to a love interest in the actual published material, so here's a few pages of Kazuma going on a date with Megumin. I hope this is satisfactory."It was not satisfactory.
>>283630638
>>283630603Kanna chads, we will win.
>>283630651I've heard people really hated this one.
>>283624857Long dark hair is too powerful.
>>283630724Speaking as a Himachad: I wouldn't be particularly upset.
>>283630733for good reasonI still seethe every time I remember it
>>283630686Fr ? This book was on my list because apparently the mc and megumin actually got together but now it sounds like the author didn't commit.Just like Hanagai, or date a live
>>283630747very true
>>283630789That's how I feel about Saekano. I can laugh at Domekano in retrospect even if it pissed me off at the time. Thinking about the last stretch of Saekano and the massive shit the author took all over the entire cast of characters just makes me viscerally angry.
>>283630713Her show is so forgetful, I wish I watched the other gyaru show of that season instead.
>>283624012There's nothing to BWAHA about...
>>283630832In the ln ? Because from what I remember the ending in the movie was pretty good.
>>283630807He did not, in fact, commit. The ending was.. fine? It was inoffensive. And the author left the door open for an ostensible sequel. Megumin and Kazuma are "more than friends, less than lovers" and intend to progress their relationship. But you don't really see anything come if it. There's also a massive (read: tiny), imouto princess-shaped Sword of Damacles hanging over their relationship at the end that goes totally unaddressed.
>>283630908The anime. It was fucking horrendous. Even if best girl won, it was at the expense of the likability of every single member of the cast, herself included.
>>283630807Iirc they do get together some time before the end but don't get to have sex for reasons, then in the epilogue is hinted they may add the blonde loli to their relationship
anyone have a webm of this?I just wanna hit Himari again for old time's sake.
>>283630098We don't even know if Himari really lost bc the story is apparently not over. I guess, Hanagai? Cover girl didn't win. And maybe Tomozaki and chitose
>>283630747>>283630809Long, straight black hair girls lose too!
>>283630098saekanokonosuba
>>283630979>HanagaiManga end implies Sena won
>>283630941Him wtf. Do LNs espacially romantic ones ever have good endings? Twenty volumes for an open ending ??
I always respected Rion because she never hated Himari or got seriously pissy about her. Rion just did her own thing.
>>283630979Hanazono Twins has both sisters on the cover, but the first girl/MC's crush loses to her way cooler sister. Unfortunately the ending was still written like shit. The ultimate example if FGWG where the better girl actually takes the W is "Ookami Shounen wa Kyou mo Uso wo Kasaneru". That manga is unbelievably fucking based.
>>283631043You think konosuba was a romance?
>>283630098Whatever it is, it's not enough.
>>283624012holy fucking based
>>283631005>KonosubaAqua was literally never treated as a love interest. This one doesn't count. Chibi Megumin and Darkness are both also on the first cover.
>>283631088>Aqua was literally never treated as a love interestTell that to Aquafags
>>283631059>>283631063We're both men of culture, anon.
>>283631015>manga>Implies Doesn't sound like it's a win in the ln
>>283631059>Hanazono Twins has both sisters on the cover, but the first girl/MC's crush loses to her way cooler sister.By this standard you could say Onodera was the cover girl
>>283631060No, i forgot to add ", and other genres"
>>283631005Megumi won though?
>>283631123It's well known the author sabotaged the LN to get out if his contract
>>283631112No one gives a shit what schizos think. The narrative made it abundantly clear at every opportunity that Kazuma would sooner masturbate with sand paper that let his dick within proximity of Aqua.
>>283630098You called?
>>283631166She's on the cover of the manga, not the LN
>>283630098Arguably in ImoSae, imouto is in the title and was first girl Ryuuo no oshigoto also has first girl/FeMC losing
>>283630665to be honest, cote ruined romcoms and anything romance related for me...I know it sounds ridiculous but I just can't enjoy romance anymore. Anything related to romance reminds me of that shit and how Kei lost and I compare everything to cote. I can't stop thinking about it, even when I stop reading that shit and I know nothing of what's happening in the storyI fucking hate cote and kinugasa for mindbreaking me this hard and I hate myself for being so fucking stupid too...I wish I could just forget I ever read that shit...
>>283631200do vn adaptations even count? they just pick a random girl unless they go the amagami route
>>283631174>The narrative made it abundantly clear at every opportunity that Kazuma would sooner masturbate with sand paper that let his dick within proximity of Aqua.You could say the same about 8man and Yui
>>283631224I would say if a VN has a true route, then it countswhoever wins in the true route is the true heroine
>>283630665top left manga went to total shit when they broke up
>>283631220Take solace in the fact that pinkslut will get btfo even harder than Kei
>>283630936Wasn't this because they cramped like 6 lns into a movie?
>>283631200Doesn't she win in her own route ?
>>283631274it doesn't matter anymoreshe won and Kei lost
>>283631277Do you know where we can find the saekano lns ?
>>283631266Unless the VN is Aokana, in which case they pretend there's no romance at all and make the main love interest into the main character who's sidelining the MC and focusing on the flying roller blades.
>>283631224>>283631281While I agree at your posts, they didn't had to do this at the competition.
>>283631200One of the GOATs.Probably one of the worst loses too.
>>283631350Raws are on Nyaa, if you are talking about an english translation i don't think anyone ever translated them
>>283631350you could probably find them if you search "tmw" on nyaa
>>283631359There's no true route in Aokana though.
>>283630098Hopefully this.
>>283631366>>283631386
>>283631266sure, but that usually isn't the case for adaptations as far as i can recall, a lot of them are just moege where all heroines are more or less equal, like mashiroiro symphony like in shuffle, they randomly picked green to win for the anime, a character probably not even within the top 5 "mainest" heroines
>>283631435hinibros...
>>283630098Akame ga kill
>>283631436You now remember the cat episode
>>283631449>like in shuffle, they randomly picked green to win for the anime, a character probably not even within the top 5 "mainest" heroinesAsa-senpai was the best heroine from that imo so I'm glad she won in the anime toothe second best option would be Sia (the brown haired elf) but only because I really love the personality of her dead twin, Kikyou
>>283631449The anime was based, they turned Kaede from being the most boring heroine in the history of VNs* to someone with a little spice to her.*Yes, I read it. No, I do not remember it well.
>>283630992She lost ? Who won then ?
>>283631566
>>283631304>she wonNot even pinkslut believes that, only Horikita and Hiyori have any chance at being the true winner
>>283631449>they randomly picked green to win for the anime, a character probably not even within the top 5 "mainest" heroinesAny facts to back that up?Because every time Shuffle is discussed, I always see her.
>>283631584well yeah, because she randomly won in the anime adaptation, like i saidshe is a fairly secondary and unremarkable heroine in the vn, which is what i am saying
>>283631582imo, she won because she got rewarded for her shitty behaviour while Kei got shitted on and got humilliated by both the author and psycho MC only because she wanted a normal and happy school life with her boyfriendI stopped reading after the end of 2nd year so I don't know and I don't care what happens in the futureI hope Kei becomes a lesbo or something. Much better ending for her
>>283631359>AokanaDon't get me started with that. idk the FUCK were sprite smoking. If they can't commit to Asuka or Misaki, might as well choose best girl for fuck's sake.
>>283631688mashiro...
>>283628533Bruh she will come back, trust the plan
>>283631729I DON'T CAREAND YOU SHOULDN'T WISH FOR A COME BACK BECAUSE THAT'S A BAD THING FOR HERTHE PSYCHO MC ONLY USED HER AND HURT HER AND NOTHING MORE. HE DOESN'T DESERVE TO HAVE HERLET WHOREKITA WIN OR WHOEVER ELSE. FUCK THAT PSYCHO MOTHERFUCKER AND FUCK KINUGASA TOO
>>283631059>>283631063>>283631117That one is not a good series, we need to destroy the "winner" "loser" mentality, it destroys good written
>>283631688She got the best extra so she won
>>283631729She's set to get a happy ending, unlike pinkshit who's set for self-destruction
>>283631449>>283631528The "winner" concept is a cruch to hide bad written
>>283628533>>283631729She still have more chances of winning than anyone else combined in that novel tho.
>>283631797>WHOREKITA>winning anythinglol lmao
Total CF victory.
>>283631819>She got the best extralollmao even
>>283631900Too late for that, MC already admitted to himself he loves Hiyori
>>283631819I feel like extra 1 and 2 are vastly different products. 1 is more slice-of-life and 2 is shounen sports.I really can't weigh both extras.
>>283631966>believing in Kiyo's monologueKEK
>>283631435Kill yourself Hinafag, Hina isn't winning, she's going to get humiliated again.
>>283631928like I said, let anyone win except KeiI hope she leaves japan or something and never meets with the psycho again in her lifeand I hope the psycho gets fucking castrated and drops dead in a ditch
>>283631966She's getting expelled
>>283631998>Implying remaining at school has anything to do with winning lol
>>283625488Bassori already got rejected.
>>2836319692 has the better plot, the better romance and the better character development.
>>283631960Can beat the hairjob
>>283632033All wrong
>>283631991I know your pain keianon, (I'm also a keifag), but the author did that to make her comeback to the spotlight again and grow as a person. That development was good for her. But I can see that she still really loves him a lot, I doubt that th author will just put her aside now, also, horikita really needs her because she is the only person that understands Kiyotaka.
>>283631960>>283632033FC is a dying sports. They're also an upstart with no sponsor backing.Being an udon chef is a more solid career path. And she already have a family owned restaurant.What do you think the MC had a better future here?
>>283632053>to make her comeback to the spotlight againgive me a break, anon... I'm so tired of hearing this shitkeifags like me have been waiting for a comeback since y2v4.5 and she never got it and the author only humilliated more and more in every new volumeif she becomes a better person, good for her but she doesn't need the psycho MC and I don't want her to end with that faggot anymore. He goes around flirting and having sex with all the other girls while Kei suffers and then she has to take him back like nothing happened?fuck off with that shit
>>283632099I should play this again, does the TL patch works for the 4K version?
>>283632192I use steam and emulate games on my android phone.
>>283632099>Being an udon chef is a more solid career path. And she already have a family owned restaurant.Udon chef on a small island. Yeah, such a brilliant career.
>>283632308There's nothing more honourable in japan than to continue the family business
>>283631688>That scene where MC is adjusting her shoes and she keeps poking his leg with her feet
>>283630172I guess a boy-girl friendship...cant survive
>>283632386Funnily enough, its also the same reason I feel in love with her.I'm forever mad she still wasn't able to fix Masaya's trauma after pouring her heart and soul at that confession meanwhile Asuka, with her mary sue sorry of an ass, did it with her shitty pep talk. Mashiro deserves that scene faaar more than her.
>>283632485....for now.
>>283630384Holy shit, is that a fucking fomekano reference.
>>283631435Meds, hinaschizo. Bitch gonna lose all her friendships with her shitty behavior.
>>283632900Yes
>>283631809You have shit taste if you don't think Okami Shounen is good.
>>283632941There's nothing wrong with kissing your bros
>>283633241Next you're going to say there's nothing wrong about sniffing ypur neighbor
>>283624681KOI'TTE
>>283633237Every girl was shit.
>>283633273Fuck off with that bullshit.
>>283633237Because is not good, I actually read the series, there is a reason people never talk about the dropped plot points or the fact the series just ends without developing the characters. This is the reason the concept of "winner" is cancer
>>283633273Chinatsu wants to fuck her neighbor and leave Taiki behind.
>>283633444Chinatsu has no interest in neighbourNeighbour has no interest in ChinatsuYou need your skull crushed by a brick
>>283633419>the series just ends without developing the charactersWhy comment on a manga you clearly didn't read?
>>283633444Chinatsu would fuck anyone who asks, she has the personality of an onahole
>>283633358Generational OP
I remember reading the first two volumes of this and there was no sign of a 2nd heroine...wtf happened? blue girl was really cute and flirty with MC and seemed wholesome
>>283633484Having a final flashback is not development
>>283633697>>283633484
>Akaneiro anime>harem but MC only has eyes for his sister >she wins Fells good
>>283633510>she has the personality of an onaholebut enough about Hina you samefagging bitch.
>>283633419>without developing the characters. Not even worth taking seriously. You're an actual retard if you read the manga and think the characters were underdeveloped.
>>283634053That's literally what the story is about, MC gets an onahole delivered to his home so he can program her as he sees fit
>>283631688Ran her her route first. The choice was obvious from the start.
>>283631430Asuka is very obviously the true route. She's the route you get when you click straight through every dialog option. 100% main girl.
>>283634187>click straight through every dialog optionThat's how you reach the bad end
>>283634187>She's the route you get when you click straight through every dialog option.Uh, what?
>>283634215>>283634225Maybe I'm misremembering then. It's been a long time. Regardless she's definitely the first choice when the route splits occur. On that note, did anyone actually give a fuck about neighbor girl? What a shit character.
>>283631430It's obviously Asuka numbnut. You might wanna reread the game.They even pulled the "release the limiter" troupe at the very end because of how much they wanna jerk off her dick so much.
>>283633873I was here for every thread they never fix her problems with men, the series got axed
>>283634059>you read the manga and think the characters were underdeveloped.Because they were pure set up for development that never happen because it got axed, her new Manga is still ongoing because that one actually sells
>>283634262>Regardless she's definitely the first choice when the route splits occur.That's a sign of the least important character though. Now, I'm not saying she was one, but that's not how you tell who the main girl is. True route is usually the most difficult one to reach.

>blueshit actually lost>best girl wonBased. Was holding off on picking up the LNs because blueshit was first girl and author might force an ending for her at the last second.>>283627242>Ichigo from Darling in the Franxx lostShe got a chad husband who mogs the MC and a pretty good ending while dino-whore and her beta died in space. Her and Kokoro were the real winners.
>>283630807Don't read Konosuba if you're expecting a satisfying and committed ending to any of the girls when it comes to romance.Or a satisfying ending at all, because the LN really, REALLY fucking sucks, and the ending is disappointing overall.
>>283634603>kisses his blueberry>immediately goes off alone on a journey to find new habitable areas and resources for humanity>succeeds He was the real hero all along
>>283630098Pic related. I don't think I ever saw a first girl self-implode this much. It was a good thing, though, since it gave best girl the chance to have one of the most satisfying unexpected win ever.
>>283634899>literally would've won the Layfon bowl if she had given him like 10 seconds to form his thoughts into words when he was finally ready to make his move
>>283634669>>Or a satisfying ending at all, because the LN really, REALLY fucking sucks,lmao i just started reading them but i won't bother if there's no ending, bc the more i look at people reviews of certain series, the more i found reviews of people just being angry at the ending. Recently there has been some garbage ending in mangas as well, but at least the chapter are super quick to read. 15 to 20 volumes for that...
>>283634899Hey I forgot about this. I remember watching the anime.Is it worth reading?
>>283635143>the more i found reviews of people just being angry at the endingthis is more common than you think
>>283634479That's a valid point. Though to be fair there's no such thing as a difficult route in Aokana. It's just "yes I'll help you" or "no I won't". And that's just.. all that you really have to do.
Does Rion actually love Yuu? She seemed like a cold person.
>>283624784BLUE TEARS, GIMME MOAR
>>283624857Blue hairs deserve to lose. They are usually shit characters. White hairs are starting to gain though
>>283635319what about this one? did she deserve to lose?
>>283631960>her Extra is more popular than the base game itself>Sprite has outright admitted they consider her Extra a proper sequel to the main game and resolved a bunch of other character arcs in it>got a bunch of extra h-scenes for the 10th anniversary edition while Asuka got noneShe won so hard she unseated Asuka as the main heroine.>>283631729>author has basically retconned any mention of MC feeling anything for Kei>MC has already fucked another heroine>MC now admits in his monologues that he's in love with another heroine and that it is his 'first' loveIts never been more over for her bro
>>283635412Yes
>>283635412No, Dark blue haired girls deserve their win
>>283635470I should have never mentioned Aokana because holy fuck you fags are angsty about it.
>>283635795The good one do win
>>283635911I unironically love Bokuben, but let's be real here: it's not the same when everyone wins. I'd be happy with more manga going the multiple endings direction, but it definitely doesn't hit the same as a conclusive, one-girl-takes-all finale.
>>283635956I think the real problem is not that 'everyone wins', it's that those routes were all unsatisfying. You can't build up a proper romance in just ten chapters, especially when everything before was written so that every ending is possible. Well, maybe ten chapters could still be sufficient, but 22i wasn't competent enough to make it happen.
>>283635911>>283635956>fumitrash
>>2836361701/5
I like how this thread turned into an impromptu romcom council thread
>>283637023I would say it's more like a romcom/losing heroine complain thread
>>283631050I loved that she just kept pressing MC until he foldedTotal herbivore submission
Next is becoming a slut in college?
>>283628984>>283630306If Hoshigasaki doesnt win I will go nuclear.
>>283637511>>283635412Tomozaki bros, I haven't read the LN. Please tell me Mimimi gets over him and isn't an orbiter.
>>283624012Is this for real? I dropped the anime four episodes in because blueshit seemed to have it locked
>>283639669there's two rumors going around>black haired girl won>open ending because the author wants to make a college arc
>>283639777so which one's right?
>>283640677I don't know, I don't even read this LNI just came here to complain about romcoms
>>283639777>>283640728It was actually true.Rion won simply because Yuu chose to staybwith her. Yuu and Himari decided to stay as friends, but after the hraduation trip, they cut ties and went different paths.This shit reeks of axed end. Even the author's statement about a college arc is author coping.
>>283630577>>"I can't marry you, Natsuo. I love you and I'm pregnant with your child, but you should really marry my comatose sister instead."Roru, rumao even.Natsuo found out the true nature of Hima's feelings from Marie's mouth and Rui took the decision bc he saw Natsuo crying over the revelation that Hina never stopped loving him, as he was always under the idea Hina chose to bury her feelings within her (keep in mind sn important shit: the reason Natsuo rebounded into Rui was because of what happened in Izu Island.
>editor forcing the author to scrap his original end and make the bland long black hair girl win instead in the last volumeJust like in Oregairu where everything up to volume 13 was pointing towards a Yui end but editor forced him to write a Yuckyno end right at the end. Himari had the potential to avenge Yui but the author pussied out.
>>283641028Nips just can’t write a proper ending and choose the better heroine, can’t they? Could be just bias but I swear there are more decent endings in romance manga than LNs nowadays
>283641202
>>283641202>editor forcing the author to scrap his original end and make the bland long black hair girlCould've been worseSometimes they force authors to write an extra side story after the LN s already finished, just to make the heroine lose.
I need a romance manga with a chapter for each losing heroine at the end showing how miserable life ended up for them after they lost their only chance at love
>>283641612they should all get fuck by chad in college while MC watches
>>283641202It's the same that happened in OnK, Aka was obviously aiming for the incest ending but the editor stopped him
>>283635412>Read this LN.>Entire second volume is getting you to care about this girl and then shitting on her as hard as possible to make the main girl look better.I dropped it afterwards, I don't know why nip authors do this.
>>283641629at this point, I don't know anymoreAka is just an expert an shit endings and I believe the ending we got is the ending he always had in mind
>>283641612Just look at the mirror if you want to see a salty loser
>>283641641they seethe like a manchild when people don't like their trash main heroine so they go out of their way to shit on the side girls
>>283641612yuuna of yuragisou did exactly that
>>283641539Literally who?
>>283641612I mean Scum's Wish had those, but the other way, everybody more or less moved on with their lives except Mugi the manslut.
>>283641691That's the part I really don't get:My brother in Christ you MADE the side character!If it bothers you this much put that effort INTO THE MAIN HEROINE!
how do you even drag this kind of shit story out for 12 volumes, and there's still more volumes to come? like I want in on the scheme.
>Himari lost
>>283641740Sayu, my beloved
>>283641539>>283641955so in the actual canon of the light novel, she doesn't get abandoned for the hag?
>>283641975Yes, it only happens in the after storyThe publisher was afraid that salarymen en masse would start fucking high school runaway girls so they forced the author to write a follow-up story where Sayu lost
I've been burned before. Did the last chapter fully release with Rion definitely winning or is this another bait and switch?
>>283642047I knew that shit was weird, it didn't fit the story AT ALL.
>>283641539Higehiro situation was bc Kodansha feared readers (shounen demographics) would turn into captain save-a-ho trying to save the unsalvageable and give a bad example (between the LN end and the canon spinoff release there was a sudden boom of JKs who offered their bodies in exchange of having a place to stay.Gotou's canon spinoff reeks of editorial meddling.
>>283642061I mean, the Yuu x Rion thing happened before the latest volume. Himari was already ex girlfriend a while ago. The latest* not last volume has Yuu and Rion still remaining as boyfriend x girlfriend. It's not over.
>>283642081>KodanshaFuck, it was Kadokawa, theyw ere the fuckers whose moralfaggotry fucked over Higehiro.
>>283641539Is the hag also used goods?>>283642081>would turn into captain save-a-ho trying to save the unsalvageableBTFOing used goods is the good kind of moralfaggotry.
>>283624012So did they fudge or not?
>>283641536Humping Rion's butt>>283641970Paizuri with Rion
>>283642387>Humping Rion's buttI'd leave that asshole wide open tbf.>Paizuri with RionNot just that, i'd leave her nipples swollen and cumming milk.
>>283642222>BTFOing used goods is the good kind of moralfaggotry.>>>/r9k/
>>283642387>not doing butt paizuriPathetic
>>283642718But that's what humping Rion involves... I'd never pass up a chance to get my dick between girl cheeks
>>283642092But he fucked both girls, that’s good, right? Also, since Himari was first, basically Rion ended up with a used good.
>>283643134lol in the novels, Yuu is still a virgin unironically.
>>283643218You’re saying they were dating for months and it never occurred to him to get his cock in?
>>283643417In the novels, Yuu is weirdly uninterested in both Rion and Himari, he's more of a "let the status quo be" kind of guy. The worst kind of protagonist for these types of pure romance.
never believe any "spoiler" anyone posts about a light novel without proof
>>283643517it hasn't even been 24 hours since it came out, I doubt people have finished digesting it, but it also wouldn't surprise me, ending on Rion still being Yuu's girlfriend is just a status quo ending, and the author has previously mentioned he wants to portray their college lives, so this is weird and smells of editor intervention because they hated the blue haired girl.
>>283643689>editor intervention because they hated the blue haired girl.Who doesn't?
>>283634899I hate how after the baka purge we never got a good place for reading light novels translations
>>283643745meI love me some choker wearing girl
>>283641539Based editor? Wtf
>>283635319>>283635412>>283635470>>283635795>>283635911>>283637511The concept of "winner" and "loser" is killing good romance written. A good romance doesn't need this weird and unnatural concepts, the romance just progress naturally, nothing of this weird surprise "winner"
>>283643689>>283643745>>283644291Believing lies. LOL
>>283643505It fits. He was more or less pressured into dating Rion. It's not like he woke up and wanted to date her.
>>283641352Romance manga tend to have dog shit endings too. Japan is just bad with endings.
>>283644659it does fit but it just doesn't make for very good romance protagonist, but somehow very common.
>>283644830Because if we had some who made decisive romance decisions we couldn't stretch this out for 12 volumes.

>>283631966I know this is a shitpost but what is even going on in this series now?
>>283625422>reverse character developmentNah she's still winning. I believe in a Afterstory volume.
https://www.x.com/nanana27101150/status/1987170288296247798Here comes the rewrite on the manga kekAlso, is the author a woman?
himari won in the anime too anyway
So based on fan translationsThe author also mentioned "high school arc" on volume 11.>Its finally starting to feel like the climax of the high school arc, isn't?So a sequel with a different name?On the other hand, based on fan translations of the side story -v1-, there was a time were the editors thought on switching MC from Yuu to his playboy best friend against the author will kek.So editorial butting in may not be a schizo cope afterall.
>>283645451it was fine
>>283645675>Also, is the author a woman?yes
>>283641202how about bringing back the dead remains of the loser heroine just to milk the readers one last time?
>>283647139the "twist" just felt way too contrived and forced.
>>283647174the twist would have just fine if masamune redirected his revenge to yoshino instead.
>>283636140>You can't build up a proper romance in just ten chaptersTelework Yotanabashi is a single volume of manga and one of the most masterfully-written adult romance stories to ever grace the medium. You can absolutely tell a compelling romance in a single volume's worth of chapters (it was 9 each in Bokuben with an extra chapter after Mafuyu's route).That aside, I only found Rizu's route unsatisfying. And that's because it was barely focused on her. Uruka's was fine and Fumino's, Asumi's, and Mafuyu's routes were all absolute fucking kino.
>>283647216>Telework Yotanabashi is a single volume of manga and one of the most masterfully-written adult romance stories to ever grace the medium. You can absolutely tell a compelling romance in a single volume's worth of chapters (it was 9 each in Bokuben with an extra chapter after Mafuyu's route).I didn't find it that good but it doesn't matter. There's a world of difference between a story with long-established characters who weren't in relationship and it didn't even look like they were getting close to it and a short story where characters are introduced as lovers or potential lovers.
>>283647139Master will win the sloppy secondsbowl and receive the better lovin' now that Masamune has gone through PRACTICE arc
>>283644955>woke writers in jewlywood>>>/pol/
>>283647321I'll concede that 22i could have done a much better job of establishing Nariyuki developing feelings toward the heroines throughout the course of the manga, and can totally respect why that would hamper your enjoyment of the endings. I personally thought they were strong enough (again, barring Rizu... who happened to be my fucking favorite) to ameliorate that weakness, but we can agree to disagree. Civility aside, chug a gallon of bleach for not thinking Telework Yotanabashi is great.
>>283646779Is she more like Himari or Rion?
>>283647513My uncle knows her, says she is more like Rion.
>>283646779>yesMakes sense. Rion is extremely off-putting to most men.
>>283634127kill yourself
>>283645451That ending was garbage. He's already making an other manga, it's like he didn't care about Cafe terrace anymore
>>283624012
>>283630098>raildex>Index turns into literally who most of the series
>>283641202Pretty sure Oregairu was about Hachiman and Yukino from the start. Yui happened to be too good to lose.
>>283638800>If Hoshigasaki doesnt win I will go nuclear.Have you read volume 2 ? mc spent his time with Hoshigasaki, they bond, he thinks she's pretty which makes you think she actually got a chance, until you reach the last part of the novel. The mc literally said the reason he helped Hoshigasaki was to see Hanamitsuji's smile. Making him sounds like douche desu, and that showed that the first girl will definitely win
>>283641644Yeah, OnK's ending actually 'works' if you read the first ten chapters then skip to the last ten. Just a shame about all the things in the middle.
>>283641028>>Rion won simply because Yuu chose to staybwith herHow else was she supposed to win ? She was already dating the guy. Plus he cut ties with the toxic ex, and Rion talked about staying together forever.
>>283645567They just entered 3rd year, MC dumped Kei and is now dating pinkshit for convenience while he thinks to himself that Hiyori is his first real love and about how he wants to test this new feeling
>>283625422>let's stay together forever and everSounds like it was just a status quo end
Isn't Himari a used goods? Why would you want her to win?
>>283648873Nanamura is more romantically conscious of Hoshigasaki than Hanamitsuji. Also I don't think he's aware that Hoshigasaki might have a crush on him.PS: Vol 3 and 4 can change thingsPPS: I really fucking hate the names of this series.
>>283624012Himari won in the anime. Nobody cares what happens in the shitty LN which isn't even mildly popular.
>>283649018>Isn't Himari a used goods?No that's just schizo anon who didn't read anything
>>283644955If Higehiro was aimed at seinen audiences, maybe the gotou spinoff would have never happened.All this shit happens bc the LN was aimed at late middle and high school boys.
>>283641743>but the other way, everybody more or less moved on with their lives except Mugi the manslut.Still the bee returned at him.Mengo did a conclusive extra volume to close all the stories and the last one was about the Bee and Mugi starting again.
>>283641629>Aka was obviously aiming for the incest ending but the editor stopped himFalse, he always aimed for his edgefest spiteful ending and only baited with the incest simply to laugh at Mengo for being a huge incest freak.
>>283630098Botan and does Saeko from Highschool of the dead count since she's best girl?
>>283649040What makes you think that's he's more aware of hoshi ? (I also hate the names in the serie). He didn't even spend time with her during the trip and the focus was on Hana. He seems conscious of her enough, even blushing after she thanked him for helping Hoshi. We'll see what happens in the next volumes, but Hana is collecting the winning flags (first girl, nanamura called her the prettiest girl of the school, she's perfect unlike Himari, etc). Hoshi, and the other girls just feel like stepping stones for the main romance which is a shame because she's more fun as a character
>>283649259>Mentally ill Anon becomes obsessed with a series they've never readMany such cases sadly
>>283633444>>283633462Hinaschizo still unaware the rest of BB 218 was leaked and Taiki got angry at Hina kissing him. Say goodbye to their friendship
Good for the MC, Himari was toxic af.
>>283649448>Taiki got angry at Hina kissing himIs that what the voices are saying?
>>283631933Still the CF is less of a CF (both get estranged by the CF initiative) and is more of a menhera bitch.Satsuki is joining the fad of menhera winners.
>>283624681Please don't shit my mom, thanks for the consideration.
>>283649040>>283648873We still don't know if Hoshigasaki will fall in love with him so I don't think it matters if he's doing it for another girl.
>>283629045>after 8man saved her dog Yui just ignored him for a tear while he suffered alone and only started to get better when sensei introduced him to YukinoThe big factor on why Yuishit lost. She was a hypocrite cunt who larped as a bubbly girl and looked down on 8man and fed his edgelord thoughts about "nice girls™", and only got interested after he started interacting w/ Yukinon.Best girl my ass.
>>283649483Satsuki a cute, F-Cup is the menhera bitch.
>>283649478That's what the panels show you fucking retard, Taiki stepped back from Hina in shock and clenched his fist, get fucked.

>>283649385Botan: gingerSaeko: blue-ish, big tiddy, cool behavior.High school of the dead was a nice outlier. It even had the generic hs bitch (ponytailed brown tomboy-ish classmate) be ridiculised after NTRing MC with his best friend and having the audacity to compare him with him, triggering his kamikaze boner.
>>283650045>It even had the generic hs bitch (ponytailed brown tomboy-ish classmate)No matter how shitty of a girl she was, Rei was anything but generic.
>>283649394is unclear if she had sexbut is clear she dated other guys just to kill timeffs; ennochi, himari and yuu common best friend is Himari's ex.
