I hate yuri when they're too gay but I like "yuri" when they're literally just friends, you know what I mean? People can make the girls fingering each other or whatever in fanmade contents but it should stay mostly normal in official contents.(Kinda related, I also don't like R-18 yuri and futa on female, pure yuri is a thing because some people just don't wanna see dick and I respect that, but futa on female is fucking repulsive, just draw faceless men if you want dicks, futa on male is okay though)
Closer than friends but not lovers is peak yuriI also appreciate any opportunity to post manosaba
>>283872222EmaHiro should feel like it's more than normal friendship because it makes sense since Ema is a friendless loser, of course she's gonna be clingy to her only childhood friend
sex with ojisan
I hate how shallow the conflict between hiro and ema ended up being. It'd actually be based if it's something like how ema when she snapped would murder her entire classroom and hiro had been timelooping to avoid scenarios like that even before yuki entered the equation.
A manosaba thread?Before the translation?I have never seen anything this tadashii.Thank you kind anons, you have made my day.>>283873586what was the conflict about? My current theory is despicable ema-chan pushed yuki to suicide
>>283873663One day we can have a thread with all 10 people on the site who have read it.
>was the main catalyst for Hiro personal growth and therefore saved everything
>>283873689Wasnt manosaba the most popular game in japan at one point?We're at almost 2k fanart now too!There'll be more of us... eventually...>>283873743Noa-chan is precious! More precious than any other meguca! Even that idol lady!https://youtu.be/RUmqq-sDU7o?si=pXkuXOu9AP8gug5k
Hiro probably treated Ema like how she's treating Noa or Yuki, they need help so she's helping them, Ema is the one making it feels gay.>>283872562What conflict? It's literally all on Hiro being a stubborn retard, you know it's not just Ema, she could've saved Nanoka and Noa if she actually tried.
>>283873915>There'll be more of us... eventually...I, for some reason, occasionally keep getting stuff from this series in my feed.At first I wondered what the fuck it was, and then I saw how ridiculously popular it was and went wtf how why when.Got me mildly interested but I don't know Japanese. Alas.Good to see there's like five other people who know about it overseas or something?
>>283873942Meant for >>283873586
hiro-chan will expect you to follow the rules and be proper but in turn she'll help you with whatever you need. I wont believe she's hate ema for no good reason.>>283873942Ema chan wants attention...
>>283873960It's a pretty interesting modern case of word of mouth popularity.
Let the thread live as long as possible!If the thread dies there will be a witch trial and you won't escape justice!
>>283874081Can you tell me more about it since it seems you guys here a million times more knowledgeable than I?I have, at best, liked a few pictures of the black and red girl. This one being the most recent.I genuinely cannot remember the last thing something was a big hit and super popular in Japan but a complete and total literally who no one knows about overseas. It feels like I'm back to late 00/early 10 when we discovered the latest hot new visual novel and were desperately waiting for a translation patch.It being mahou shoujo made me think of the really good times of when the MahoIku was airing here.If I were a lot less busy and had a lot less worries hovering over my head right now I'd go out of my way to at least try to read it by hooking the thing to a machine translator like we used to do way back then, which I imagine is a set-up that's gotten a lot more advanced nowadays days thanks to the advent of AI.
Hiro the eternal bottom
>>283873915It's still pretty popular 4 months later after release, people still make fanarts and there's a constant steam of new people getting in, I feel like it's not gonna go anywhere soon and will just become bigger after the switch release and 2 new games(a direct sequel but they'll probably use all new characters except maybe Yuki and a probably barely related game with Hiro slapped on top as a mascot)Also it's popular among women for some reason, I feel a bit out of place consuming their fanmade contents.
>>283872068There's nothing wrong with eros but it along with romance is not enough to carry a story. Proper Yuri must be a B plot
>>283874212>I feel a bit out of place consuming their fanmade contents.Really? I love it myself.These sort of women have a special kind of unhingedness and degeneracy to their things, and way more depth to their fanworks too. It's not just generic pin-ups from the top 5 most popular chars for the sake of internet points and that's it.Fanworks from women with 200/300 followers hyperobsessed with one specific character and pairings are always the best of kind of them.
Do you think Hiro streams while fucking Ema out of frame?
>>283874388It is the other way around
I hope Manosaba gets an English TL some day so a stupid fucking EOP like me can read it.
>>283876163[Good News] https://automaton-media.com/en/news/magical-girl-witch-trials-developer-preparing-for-north-american-expansion-as-the-overwhelmingly-positive-title-sells-over-200000-copies-on-steam/
>>283873663I doubt she pushed her to suicide considering it was all part of HER plan to groom Emacchi kinda thing so it sorta is all a misunderstanding...>>283874134Besides word of mouth the fact that its largely untranslated will make it stay niche overseas.Doesn't help the actual 'gameplay' is hard to get into without an actual translation and you'd need OCR for that since the text on the screen for those sections is a picture and not an actual text file (I think)In general its mostly a really good game in a genre that didn't have much to begin with combined with incredible art+voice acting+fun story, its bound to be popular even if it was the studio's first thingWagahai love
>>283872068Doesn't that game have yuri in some of the bad ending routes though?
>>283877514Yeah
>>283873663Basically ema has victim complex and deluded herself to think she was the one being bullied, Hiro thought she was the one who drove yuki to suicide since hiro's jealous of yuki's fixation on ema
>>283874134In my case it was because a certain vtuber streamed the entire thing and I liked what I saw, even if I didn't understand shit. Now the girls live rent-free in my head, specially EmaHiro and Anan
>>283874134It's the best danganronpa ripoff in the history of danganronpa ripoffs. Everything is voiced, including mistaken reasoning paths, and plausible but wrong evidence options are also fully voiced (and sometimes comedic). Each case is not too hard and unfortunately not as complex as later DR/AA stuff, but more than serviceable. Characters are likable and two different loops give later focus to characters who die early on.
>>283877988Almost the same story for me (except I know jap), I saw berry playing chapter 1, liked it enough to buy it and experience the rest myself.
>>283878036Thinking about it now they should've put free time event in the game, it's just a little thing but it's pretty impactful, you spent free time with your favorite characters then bam they're dead, leaving the events unfinished.
>>283878036>and unfortunately not as complex as later DR/AA stuff,Considering how fucking retarded those are that's a plus.
>>283877918Good enough ig. They could've gone harder for the plot though.>>283872850I love japanese media. Even ojisan can get to be a cute girl and share a prison cell with a popular idol ( which is ok btw because they're not sharing a bed).Wait, now that I think about it, would it still count as yuri?Don't get me started on being friends with anan-chaaaan!!!!>>283874258This anon. talked of unhinged women's fanart yet postes none. You couldn't have dissapointed me more.>>283874388Streaming is coco-chan's thing!!!
>>283878810>>This anon. talked of unhinged women's fanart yet postes none. You couldn't have dissapointed me more.Sorry, anon. I mostly know those ladies exists from other series. As I said, I barely know anything about this series since it's something that randomly popped into my feed one day so I cannot provide you with any related to this.
>>283878810>Streaming is coco-chan's thing!!!The next game is about streamers and Hiro is one of them.
https://youtu.be/ABv6ju2VShY?si=lskczovV4pOsQfGzThere's plenty of decent manosabaa content on youtube too
Hello Manosababwos
>>283872068Eh, that kind of teasing feels more like blueballing and usually just creates more drama in the fandom, Look at how messy Madoka threads are now because of a few bad actors. The more yuri kisses the better imo.
We should make our own sekrit club somewhere before the series goes mainstream and a bunch of retards and casuals and other sorts of subhumans and undesirables and schizos discover it and make discussing and gushing about the series properly impossible.neo-nu-/a/ is not the place to be able to have such a thing anymore nowadays. Well, never was in all honesty. Not even when it was "good". Having a small tight-knit properly curated community is a massive nearly impossible luxury to have nowadays.
>>283879667It's kinda cute how this gathered an oldschool otaku culture kind of following, like >>283874134 said.But it's just a phase yeah, eventually you'll have the Girls Band Cry/Ave Mujica type of crowd gushing about the series.I don't know if its desensitization but that happening doesn't affect me anymore, I can just mentally block the shitposters and focus conversation with the people who cares a bit more.
>>283879890>eventually you'll have the Girls Band Cry/Ave Mujica type of crowd gushing about the series.What exactly is wrong with that?
>>283880127Schizos and shitposters of various flavors obsessed with certain plot points or characters, in a negative way, and making it everyone's problem and making it their life mission to make everyone else miserable as a way to "get back" towards whatever made them butthurt. Along with a healthy dose of anti-yurischizo which I shouldn't need to explain when we've seen countless examples of those through the years and if anything the issue has become bigger and more prominent than ever in all sort of spaces and communities all over.
It is cute to see fags worrying about shit while posting under a thread made by the exact type of fag they are worrying about lol
It's just some schizo imagining a scenario but this is what I meant by 'yuri' but actually they're just friends, basically the vibe of HiroShelly>>283880344Is that a western thing? Feel like on JP side most people just avoid shits that trigger them instead of going around causing trouble. Like some series have yaoi crowd and yume crowd, they really hate each other but people just stay within their groups instead of coming out to smear shit all over.
>>283879890It's already the next big thing riding on the band girl + toxic yuri train. Translations are coming and anime adaptation is inevitable.The funniest thing is that the "sequel" game is going to be about a girl band.>>283880344That's only a problem if you did a mistake to remain in a dead husk of general. Airing Mujica threads were peak /a/ experience.>>283880708That's called thread salvaging.
>>283884045I don't get it... are those Ema's clothes, I can't tell what the white folded mess is supposed to be.
They're saying nice things to ema-chan!Quick, complement her too!
>>283884576The sheets?
>>283872068You're homosexual.
>>283884602She has cute feet
>>283872068That's because yuri is the purest form of love. Sex makes it impure.
>>283884576It's something lewd. Pureanons like us shouldn't concern ourselves with such depravity.>>283878992Hello manosabafwen!>>283879449I think less can be more.If you focus more on building interesting, complex characters and non banal story a little bitbof yuri on top is a chief's kiss.But if it's nothing but kisses and handholding it's basically porn (!!!) nothing but unearned gratification with no substance. Limit the gratification part and it'll feel better.>>283876568Wagahai fowever even if I like noa-chan more. Good thing they're friends!
Noa-chan rabu
>>283884576Sheri-chan kawai daisuki!Erai ne sugoi ne tendai!https://youtu.be/hE-H0gyLoIo?si=tSrHH46oqTGLdzlQ>>283884855This anon gets it
>>283878036Am I going to hate myself or the characters for playing this? I loath DR but liked aavspl
>>283886526No you'll be more than fine, I'm a big fan of daigyakuten/gyakuten saiban and semi dislike danganronpa and loved manosaba.I guess it depends on what you dislike about dang it ron paul, but it doesn't really inherit the entire "feeling" of the game(humor/tension) but rather the gameplay with trials and rules.
>>283886526The characters in this game are surprisingly likeable even the ones who seem cunty or annoying at first. By the end of the game there wasn't a single character that I disliked.
>>283872068Yurib*it is a made up western word. Barbaric western cucks can't comprehend delicate and implicit love between innocent young girls so they're trying to delegitimize the tasteful yuri culture with this term. They aren't Japanese enough to understand the beauty of more than friends less than lovers.Generally speaking, it's either yuri centric (focused on committed relationships) or light yuri (lesbians flirting but not dating in the traditional sense). Committed relationships are only one flavor of yuri, whereas the majority of yuri is softcore more than friends less than lovers yuri - what newfags call "yuribait". Modern yuri is often more about lighthearted purity instead of homosexual angst.For example:Bloom into You: dedicated to feelings between two girls = yuriNew Game: focused on game production but has obvious underlying yurinormative theme = ALSO yuriWandering Witch: primarily about Elaina's journey but the MC has multiple female love interests albeit no dating = STILL yuriYuri can also exist as PART of other works. Dungeon Meshi is about eating monsters and has a majority of male characters, but the animators clearly still intended to take the time and portray lesbianism to appeal to yuri gaze. Yuri is yuri and as a commonly adored element in anime culture, yuri is not picky about where it appears.That's the truth nuke for today.
>>283886682>>283886645If the characters are likeable and they all die what's the point?
>>283886841It's part of the game Anon, you have to deal with the pain.Just experience it, it really is one of a kind gem in my opinion.
>>283872068>I'm so brainrotted by seeing gay shit everywhere that I can't even think of innocent female friendship without describing it with sexual language
Is this ever getting an english translation? If so it's gonna blow up and I'LL FUCKING HATE IT
>>283886966An official translation is already confirmed.
>>283886966Yeah pretty much confirmed earlier I thinkIt's okay, nothing would make me hate it
>>283886966>If so it's gonna blow up and I'LL FUCKING HATE ITClassic JOP pattern, it's kamige until it gets translated, then "it was never good anyway lol".
>>283887017>>283887024It's fucking over.
Can we really call manosaba a magical girl series if the girls don't transform? All they do is solve murder cases and transform into witches. That's as far from a magical girl as you can get. Kinda cool they seem to build on the madoka concept of witchification. Where in madoka growing up (becoming a witch) was basically losing yourself and who you were here it seems you don't neccessarily have to become a bloodlust monster? I mean I write it because I know hiro turns everyone into a witch by the end and talks stuff out? I didn't play the game just read some spoilers. I sort of like this idea because if my interpretation turned out to be true a dooming, depressing element from madoka here would be potentially empowering. As in growing up is hard sure, but if you do it right you'll be better/stronger.>>283886966enjoy it while it lasts.
>>283887246But all of them have unique magical abilities from the beginning of the game even before they transform into witches and they use them to commit murders so they are in fact magical girls.
>>283887246If you want spoilers to your spoiler question (big spoilers) Hiro herself goes witch mode because she kills herself and that means she can't use her magic anymore since she's pseudo immortal, but shes is just way too determined to make things right and kiss Ema to actually succumb to it(she does struggle with it here and there). Then she goes and mindbreaks all the other girls, she starts with Meruru whose magic is healing(actually restoring things to a previous state) so she kinda uses that to heal the mental of all the girls as they witch out. That's how she keeps them sane during that trial.
>>283886888Madoka is as sad as I go, sorry
>>283887614The game feels like a full blown utsuge at first and you do need to enjoy suffering to an extent to enjoy it, but it's actually more hopeful than the ronpa. It's not some depressing misery porn that you probably think it is, though it does deal with some heavy topics like bullying, suicide, child abuse, etc. Hard to talk about it without spoilers.
>>283887065it's not kamige tier it's just an ace attorney v2 overhyped by yurifans and jops wholl flip the moment the translation drops
>>283887993>it's just the best thing ever v2Okay.
>>283872068Thats just friendship, you just really like friendship anon
>>283888382Do not reply to kyoukonigger
>>283887993This sounds like some retarded /v/ shit. Zero people producing all the fan content care about some EN translation.
Manga adaptation is officially labeled as yuri btw.
Do you think we will get a sequel considering the epilogue?
>>283888675i’m part of the first category myself but ive seen a lot of retarded JOPs say that once this game gets a translation its gonna be over
winner of the slightly less smelly than the turd I'm going to drop on the catalog prize
This has easily been my GOTY. Normally not into DR style games but tried the demo and found it far more interesting. Then obviously buying and playing through it the game was incredible. I think aside from one specific moment right at the end(felt just like a little too much of an asspull) I didn't have any complaints about it which is surprisingly rare.
>>283888843The manga sadly idn't the best. It has generic art and never takes advantage of the medium.For examlle the coco x leia stream could be a few pages long and funny (VN shouldn't be able to convey movement and the absurdity of a magical girl catching apples with her sword for views as well as manga) but all you get is a boring redrawing of what VN gave you tucked on the bottom of the page.Well, there have been no updates, maybe they'll rethink their approach and try to restart the manga. Same with anime. I hope we get more than static two girls talking all the time because they don't want to fill in the gaps of what VN medium couldnt convey.
>>283888883Is the epilogugue everyone becomming good friends and escaping prison together? [\spoiler]Why wouldnt there be a sequel?
>>283894839Becauseit's also stated that the trials will continue as it's a government run program
>>283894701There actually is an update, they probably 'took a break' to make merch to release alongside the first volume, the Ema Hiro Shelly acrylic stands, Anan poster and other stuffs I don't know about. The adaptations will never be better than the original anyway(even though the gameplay in Manosaba is kinda lacking), it is what it is.
>>283895094Average deranged yuri hating ESL.
>>283894918new girls, new powers, new trials?BTW, how do they even find the megucas?
>>283895123>government looks for girls exhibiting non-human traits many of whom go through extreme duress>just keep your eyes out for any crazy shit on the news where it says "and one girl was found at the center of it"Plus I'm sure they have all manner of surveillance set up that the second someone shows a sign of magical powers they're getting sent in until they're cleared to return to society.
>>283894918But yuki sucked all the magic and speared herself along with meruru, there are no more witches on the planet.
>>283895205Then why the hell are the government continuing with the trials? That's the whole issue, they openly say they ARE NOT stopping the trials
>>283895259If you're talking about the post-credits scene, it's implied that the owls are linked across parallel worlds.
>>283895406Ah, ok, I guess that makes more sense. And that would likely be how we end up with a sequel.
>>283895205There's not much data for the new mahou shoujo game, maybe it's a prequel, maybe it's a sequel. The girls have magic but it's not gonna be witch's trail, they're picking one sacrifice a day in some village or some shit.
>>283895633Wait, they announced a new project?Damn it, I hadn't seen anything yet.> they're picking one sacrifice a day in some village or some shitInteresting, kind of like Werewolf.
I will teach you a corectness you haven't known before hiro-chan
>>283896051Bold of her to assume it's gonna be Hiro who gets corrected
>>283886756ok cool but why are you speaking like that when you're not Japanese and will never be Japanese
>>283895633>>283895670There's 2 sequel projects actually. The village one collab with a Corpse Party guy, and a band girl one. Both confirmed to have Hiro.
>>283896395we got a new costume for hiro out of it so can't complain.
>>283896395>Both confirmed to have HiroShe's suffered enough hasn't she?
>>283896192It is EmaHiro and not HiroEma for a reason
>>283896395Confirmed where? I only saw her confirmed on one game. I doubt the village game will have Hiro, if it's a prequel then there's 100% no Hiro, if it's a sequel then what's she gonna do without her magic? Apparently the new protagonist has a magic that can change the past(and probably change the future as the result), sounds extremely powerful. Either the power only sounds good on paper or the mastermind this time is extremely competent she'll struggle even with this power.
>>283896785It's not power that makes you powerful.It's friendship that does!Ema's power would make it childlishly easy to escape the prison at the very begining you know.
>>283896785Could swear I saw something about the Manomura. Could've been just a fan speculation. She's confirmed only for Hanoura so far: https://hanoura-maze.com/#characters
https://x.com/shinobioni_infoThey have too many projects now. Another one literally titled despair x yuri.
>>283897442>Ema's power would make it childlishly easy to escape the prison at the very begining you know.Doing that would be a really bad move. Pretty sure the government will just straight up kill them if they somehow can escape, that's what they've been doing before they started sending girls to Meruru for her to do her stuffs.
>>283898268Ema' power makes her capable of effortlesly killing most of humanity [\spoiler] I don't think she'd have to overly concern herself with the gov. Sure it might not be an ideal solution but the option is there.
>>283898057At this point it's just more and more despair.We need the ""More ryonaMore ntrMore despair" meme but with manosabas>>283897934Nice
>>283887065Muramasa is still the best VN ever made.
>>283894701>The manga sadly idn't the besthuh it's already getting chapters? Thought it wouldn't be for a while
>>283901446With the power of friendship we can keep this thread up powering off nothing but fanart!May the translation come ASAP!>>283901586Anime when is the real question here.>>283901569I'm all ears. What's the full title?
>>283872068Just finished reading Manosaba, it's kino. Really like Hiro and can't wait to read their next VN
>>283873586>hiro had been timelooping to avoid scenarios like thatThe only thing I didn't like about manosaba was the fact that Hiro's timelooping had been underutilized. After the 1st detention thing I though that she was going to be falsely executed each trial and the story would be about trying to find the real witch. Also, after the 1st Hiro trial, it was extremely easy to predict who's going to die and who's going to be the killer because I quickly realised that they were going to kill everyone who survived till the late Ema arc and give a "killer character arc" to everyone who was killed during Ema part.
>>283873960I got it in my steam recommendations. liked the artstyle and thought it was about time to try reading VN in Japanese. Took me 2.5 weeks to finish but it was worth it. I'd say Japanese there is easy enough to read it after ~6 months of learning. The only hard part was the trials
https://automaton-media.com/en/news/magical-girl-witch-trials-developer-preparing-for-north-american-expansion-as-the-overwhelmingly-positive-title-sells-over-200000-copies-on-steam/imagine
>>283902245Same. Hiro is great. I knew she was going to be the best girl the moment I first saw her.
>>283901259I think Ema would be dead before she can do anything since it's not easy to turn Ema into witch, she needs to be triggered with Yuki to unlock her power, but unlocking it would make her lose her mind leading to disaster anyway>>283902351Yeah she pretty much hasn't used it but then again it's way too strong if she can abuse it.They probably won't do bait and switch again in manomura, and the protagonist in that game has Hiro-like power but way better, we'll probably get some time loop abusing there
Is the MTL of this serviceable? I want to play this but I'm an EOP
>>283905960No, it's a horrible jumbled ESL mess and isn't even a proper patch. Just wait for the actual TL.
>>283905960You can try Lunatranslator. If you know at least SOME japanese, it would be pretty easy to understand where MTLshits itself
>>283886756>yurinormativewretched discourse from this barbaric western pseud
>>283906174Those translator programs are real nice, just hook the text in and hover the mouse over kanji to get the meaning, actually people that have consumed Japanese media long enough probably only need furigana to translate the more commonly used kanji then eventually they just remember it, at least that's what happened to me.I threw away the kanji deck after only 500 words, learned japanese by studying grammar and the above method now I can clear manosaba without translator, it's really isn't that hard.
Is there a name for this trope?Where 2 characters absolutely hate but also have feelings for each other? I think it's called big emotions or something like that, because I really liked the dynamic between ema and hiro during the beginning of the 2nd loop
the pale skin and gothic lolita fashion of the characters remind me to classic era touhou, but with a modern menhera aesthetic
>>283908553Well, Shelly is LITERALLY Cirno. Also everyone in this game wears a hat
I need more menheras in lolita fashion bros...
>Yuri: fine>Violence: not fineI'm glad we could agree.
Between HanaShura and Turkey, EgaTae is just that. Its thread no longer reaches the bump limit, something that HanaShura couldn't do at all. EgaTae is even deader in Japan than Turkey. >But muh Nico Nico ratings!And it's one of the bottom shows everywhere else. Japan is so tired of being yuribaited

>>283896395>that VNThe most unforgettable horror porn game I've ever played. No other game had a bunch of elementary schoolers gangbang a teenage girl against a wall. And the teenage girl loved it. No other game I've played had a 17 year old bishonen guy drink a 14 year old girl's piss and chase her down the hall to rape her, only to wind up getting anally raped by a 32 year old fat man. I still remember the scene where a 16-17 girl was hiding under a bed as her same age best friend was having sex with that same 32 year old fat guy on top. She heard every moan, bed shake and sound. In the wrong end she was discovered under the bed by her friend and made to join. A most terrifying scene was when an unwilling girl relives another girl's sex memories. The girl in the memory consented but the reliving girl didn't. It didn't matter that she was mentally screaming, her body in the memory did all the motions and actions as in history. It's like mind control rape except the victim was fully aware. Another scene the same girl and a friend were almost raped in a magic sex ritual, saved by the girl's older sister, and the backlash made the older sister want to rape her younger sister and friend.The loli in this pic is freakishly lewd and once disguised herself as a teenage girl, fucked a boy until he nearly came, transformed back saying>You thought you were having sex with a highschooler weren't you? I'm an elementary schooler all along!And leglocks that boy, forcing him to cum inside her unprotected, when he screams in fear upon learning this. This isn't even getting into the tentacles, the gay sex, the lesbian sex, the incest, the sequel's mother/daughter lesbian scene, etc. The first chapter alone contains lots of lesbian sex scenes with an unavoidable girl masturbating in the bathroom. Truly horror is intrinsically connected with sexuality.
>millia's whole arc
>>283911819So Corpse Party is an actual porn focused 'suffering porn' VN? I doubt the new game will have male character so it's gonna be all lesbian sex? This shit isn't going to work, it'll get stale and boring.
>>283872068... isn't that just not yuri then?
>>283912607Check the archive, that's a schizoid pasta
It's been a long time so maybe I'm wrong, I think Corpse party has a lot of bad endings, so same with Manosaba, but except a handful of good ones most of the bad endings are just a waste of time skippable fillers anyway, I don't know why they even bother putting those in the game
>>283912939>I don't know why they even bother putting those in the gameIt was related to some goal when they were doing crowdfunding iirc.
Koko's mental breakdowns were insanely hot
>>283911819This is really missing some of the best parts. I came buckets when one of the girl’s was fucked in a pool and the chad kid who liked her was forced to watch. The ending cg with the shot of the girl’s limp legs had me in diamonds. I also love the fact that all the tomboys have big boobs. And the scene where the main boy gets a double blowjob from his tomboy childhood friend and younger sister was great. The OVA had nice original scenes too. Once that chad kid was holding back a door when the ugly middle aged fatty used his tick to break through the door, aiming his dick right at chad kid's anus and lifted him into the air with his long dick. But we can't forget the double blowjob the main boy gets from his tomboy childhood friend and his little sister. Why do you keep on forgetting https://files.catbox.moe/8wpfo0.jpg?
Some people think Shelly is dumb but who's smarter than her? Hiro, Ema, Margo, that's it, 3 people out of 13.Now look at Coco and Hannah, those are what real DUMMIES look like
>manosaba thread>on /a/nani the fuckI thought none of you knew JapaneseIf this gets an anime adaption I really hope they can do it justice. I demand 2 seasons to do the middle part of the story justiceThe OP change was so fucking cool that it would be a crime for the anime to not include it>>283874134I saw the OP get recommended to me on Youtube and I vaguely remembered hearing good things about it. The premise was instantly captivating and playing a few minutes got me completely hooked from start to finish>>283887246According to one of the devs doing a presentation at the Tokyo Game Show, originally it was just Majo Saiban but they felt that it wasn't catchy enough with just that so they added on the Mahou Shoujo part quite a bit later in developmentGood thing they did too because it might not have caught the attention of Hiro and Sherry's VAs who said one of the reasons they applied was because they wanted to be a magical girl>>283905960Judging from the few screenshots I've seen they butcher one famous line by Ema that became a meme among the JP fanbase so I wouldn't recommend it>>283895406I thought it was just different prisons in the same world. I figured that's how Manomura would be linked
>>283915165Sherry is decently smart. She does conclude the wrong things at times but she's able to keep up with the deductions in the 2nd half particularly compared to Leiahttps://youtu.be/1Dp-2C3Nhoc?t=350Plus if you count these lines as canon Ema is pretty dumb herself>Hiro, Ema, Margo, that's it, 3 people out of 13.Noa is pretty sharp too
Sherry's VA's playthrough of manosaba was really fun to watch
>>283915369I was playing the game wrong by always picking the right choices. No wonder there's no penalty since fucking around picking funny choices seems way more fun, and it's all voiced too.Also it's pretty much Coco doing the tsukkomi in the clip since there's not many people left but I think Anan is the most fitting for that role.
>>283874388I'm looking forward a lot to seeing how Hiro interacts with the new cast considering her trauma
>>283910319I thought for sure she was going to die next during the hot air balloon attempt due to her power suddenly becoming way too useful
>>283908113Hiro doesn't care that much while Ema is just an attention whore
>>283872068Too bad in modern times yuritards will still insist the girls are gay in canon anywaySee Madoka
>>283919175With enough *imagination* the girls can as well be raging homosexuals in the canon.Execept ojisn of course. Ojisan liking girls is not gay at all.>>283916369I am afraid they'll make a half baked product because of how many games they're working on and from thinking they can do no wrong anymore considering how popular manosaba is. Just look how half baked tge manga is.
I really need to stop reading this thread before I get spoiled any further
Hiro is an easy woman
>>283872068I hate yuri. (full stop)
Everyone loves Hiro
>>283919913>With enough *imagination* the girls can as well be raging homosexuals in the canonNot always. In Madoka gayness is deconfirmed yet they still try to force it.
It's baffling how yuri hating retards always choose the gayest shit ever to latch on and then whine endlessly.
>>283920936This but the exact opposite. It's incredible how yuritards never actually watch yuri and just latch onto popular straight stuff while pretending it's yuri
>>283920974What a retarded thing to say in a Manosaba thread.
>>283921113>Genre: Mystery Adventure
>>283921142See this >>283888843You clearly don't even know what Manosaba is. You just came here to bitch about yuri.
There's no male in manosaba so there's nothing to confirm they're straight but none of them has fingered other girl canonically so they're also not gay. They just like each other [as a friend].
>>283921310You said the word "always" here >>283920936 though. Which implies you have other examples. When i mostly always see examples of the contrary.
>>283920974He who can truly *imagine* is never bound by the tyranny of the canon for he is an author, capable of bending the canon to his will. >>283872068The respectable OP-dono gets it.>>283920268I welcome you here kind yuri hating anon. We are all glad to share the idea of two girls who are nothing but friends gently kissing each other.
>>283915218>Judging from the few screenshots I've seen they butcher one famous line by Ema that became a meme among the JP fanbase so I wouldn't recommend itWhat phrase?
popular stuff with yuri scraps >>>>> niche stuff with yuri overflowing
>>283921310So that's why steam started recommending me some westoid gay and furry shit.
>>283872068Any anime/manga/vn with protagonist simillar to Hiro? I really liked her attitude towards everyone in the beginning of 2nd loop and I want more.
>>283921310Steam tags are user defined and It's open to interpretation. There's nothing explicitly confirming any two characters are in a romantic relationship besides that one bad end in the later part of the game
>>283923796I feel like Hiro would be called a Mary Sue if she was the protagonist of another seriesShe's a bit too hyper-competent like being able to instantly and almost completely accurately guess the contents of that picture book and the main reason why it works is because you have Ema serving as a hard contrast. Even without Coco, I wouldn't be surprised if she solved nearly everything the first time around if she didn't die
>>283872068I think they should get something off the ground eventually in terms of their relationship. I really hate it when it just hints of yuri forever as it usually also coincides with endless milking and degradation of the franchise.
This is top fucking cute, too bad about Nanoka's though, seem like something women would like but it's not doing anything to me.>>283924240She only seem competent on first day, after that it's just fuckup after fuckup, could've done this could've done that, she's the key to solve the big problem but she can't do it alone without everyone helping her out.
>>283923796SameI love ERRADICATE ALL EVIL justice schizos
>>283924541To be fair, it all started because Gokuchou decided to suddenly change the rules with the pre-voting which caused her to start isolating herself. If it weren't for that I feel like she would be able to instantly solve all the murdersThat or she's the first one to snap and kills Ema
>>283872068I think they should get to kiss a little in cannon as a treat
I need yandere Ema
>>283923796>>283924686
>>283925600>MiriaIsn't this a bit too cutesy for an oji-san
Nee manosaba game leak
>>283924541Ema+Noa for men and Nanoka+Miria for women, at least that's what it feels like
>>283925757No! Ojisan should be legally obliged to wear all the cutest clothes!
>>283925963For me, it's Ema+Nanoka. I will always be on team long-skirts
>romantic relationshiphas nothing to do with yuri.
do they become schizos?
>見せつけてやれましたよね？>私たちは友だちだって。>ずっと、仲良しだって！;_;
>>283928824
Need an asmr of koko calling me names for 1 hour
>>283929832sorry there's only meruru's murderous asmr
is this yuri?
>>283929965Tadashikunai....
>>283928824It feels so unfair, like Hannah was a burden to her, Shelly didn't deserve any of that, like come on she could've just killed herself if she didn't wanna hurt anyone, that's what Arisa did, I know it's just Hannah being vulnerable and having a woman moment, there's no logic behind that but still. I only got emotional because she's leaving Ema behind and barely gave her a chance to apologize, when she died for Hannah the second time I was like EY RETARD YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO DO THAT JUST LEAVE HER BEThe other moment that hit me hard was Pretty much all the Shelly part in last trial with Hiro, she needed to stress Shelly out but she just can't stop saying good things to her, it's okay you're human, you're not a bad person, there's nothing wrong with you you're just a bit different and all that, that's really cute.
>>283929965It would be Yuri if one side just take the abuse. If that happened in first chapter of the game it'll just start a fight and Hiro probably won't stop until Ema is dead. The answer is Ema punching Hiro is not yuri
>>283930508>she could've just killed herself if she didn't wanna hurt anyoneYeah that felt so weird to me, even until the end I was hoping that sherryl didnt actually kill hannah, and just wanted to hold a perfect closed room crime for fun pretending she did. If she got discovered she wouldn't mind dying because she had faith ema could solve any future case.
>>283930508>>283930887It might have been something like this where Sherry jumped the gun and decided on her own like when she started punching holes randomly in the mansion and tried to destroy the library
>>283921851Checking it again I might have mixed it up with a different line but I was thinking of the 炙りビン line
tfw the Hiro raid battle bad end will never be animated
what the FUCK a manosaba thread in /a/ with ACTUAL discussions in it???????????
Just reminding that Miria is best girl for being the only one who did not kill in any "routes" of the game
>>283915804https://www.youtube.com/live/FdzkCMFOSPM?si=dYu253VzuaLjGvD9&t=15296This voiceover was great
Which was for favorite bad end, /a/?Mine was Hiro fighting that TADASHIKUNAI entity for all eternity after abusing her timeloop magic. That shit was straight from vento aureo, loved it
>>283933045>Forgetting about ArisaBwo..
>>283933136https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_k_m5COQUMShe killed someone in one of the bad end as narehate>>283933136I liked the random yuri ending between Hiro and Reia because it actually made me go "what the fuck" since that was the first "yuri" encounter in the game. Also the fact that the entity was actually narehate Hiro did not cross my mind at all
>>283933136The very last one but that almost feels like cheating with how perfectly the insert song synced up with the scenes. The goosebumps were insane when the lyrics kicked in during Hiro confronting EmaSecond favorite would be >>283932976where Hiro learns nothing and tries to attack Kanshu yet again. I found it hilarious how there's a special BGM specifically for that scene and everyone teaming up to stop Hiro. Seeing Nanoka fall into a panic in contrast to her normal outward personality was neat too
>>283872068>bloom plays>Bowled my fucking eyes out
>>283933021This thread makes me remember of when vtubers were still this kinda underground thing in Japan (at least the first livestreaming ones, not the canned short videos like Kizuna Ai). JOPs love to hyperfocus on these little blossoming sub-cultures that only Japan knows about before it gets too mainstream, then it's too uncool for them.
>>283933300>Seeing Nanoka fall into a panic in contrast to her normal outward personality was neat tooThat felt so out of character I'm guessing she still hadn't absorbed enough memories at that point to become a competent not-homura
>>283933390Nobody can't deny that. Talking with a small group of people with the same interest using the same language is priceless. Better savor it before things get icky
>>283933291>that was the first "yuri" encounter in the gameDid you really went that far without seeing the SherryHannah and MeruruEma bad end?
>>283933575Yep. Somehow avoided all of it before collecting all of the CG
>>283933500>Antiyuri schizos, western vtuberfags and d*nganronpa fans will discover manosaba soon
Reminder that Sakuraba Ema is >an attention whore>a slut>a dog>tadashikunai
>>283915218I honestly think an anime adaptation is very possible. There's already plenty of merch and it seems to be blowing up. If we do get an adaptation, I hope we get some of the bad ends and ema bullying for stupid deductions. The fight at the start of the second half would be fun to see animated.
>>283933045ojisan rabu.best girl. didn't sleep in one bed with leia.because of how pure she is
>we never got to see Reia's Peter Pan play
>>283933853she is fucking that ojisan right now though
>>283933876>becomes the anime girl and fucks her in the endliving the dream
I feel like manosaba blew up only because it appeals to vtubers and their fans with the colorful character designs, yuri (not so subtle) subtext and the mental illness of the characters.Yeah the game is very high quality and all but let's be honest, that isn't enough to go viral these days
>>283934167It got really viral in China not because of vtubers though. The formula is perfect and everything is just fun to go through. Add amazing characters to that and you get the manosaba you know now. It's funny though since almost everyone was neutral or disliked the first trial case because people can only see it as shitty danganronpa at that time
>>283872068this is all bait
>>283933466Nanoka is a bit of a klutz in generalSee her trying to tackle Hiro, the whole thing with Miria, her rush job of killing Coco, her panicking during Miria's trial at the end, sitting around hiding in bushes the entire time before Ema discovering the cellar for her, the ribbon
>>283934773she tries to hard to look cool but fails at it, what a cute little sister
>>283925600>>283925963Ema is for Hiro
>>283933800And I love her for it.
Pranking koko by locking her up in a closet for 2 hours!
>>283933136Reia x Hiro, No Sabbath and Coco turning into witch
Why haven't you read the English Manosaba translation?
>>283933642How do you even collect all bad ends? I thought you can't skip the trials? I somehow skipped all bad ends during the 1st part and only started deliberately going for them during the 2nd part of the game.
>>283933159Alisa felt criminally underutilised though she probably was meant as a red herring character (prisoner number 666)
>>283935103Holy ESL
>>283935145I saved everything before the choices dialogue and before trials
>>283935218>I saved everything before the choices dialogueNot much of a need for it, no? It indicates which leads to a bad end and at the end of that lets you go straight back to the choice.
>>283935245You can disable that mark in settings
>>283933136The zoo end was pretty good too
>Yuki as chara is almost invisibleNice
>>283929965the serious answer is that it depends on what you mean by yuritwo girls being in a romantic relationship? only vaguely alluded to in one bad end only, no otherwisetwo girls in a very close friendship? hanna x sherry exists you can't even take declarations of love at face value because saying that you love someone doesn't necessarily mean that you want to fuck them
>>283933800
>>283934994And Hiro is for Noa
If we did get an anime, I'd love it if they played around with the visuals during trials. Something like a Revue that has some symbolic significance and acts as a visual cue to show who's dominating the conversation. It could lead nicely into Ema's cut ins and the executions. Tomohiro Furukawa or Shinbo could do a good job.
Shame we never got to see this Ema-chan
>>283936749this is how hiro sees ema
>>283930508>>283930887Canonically in the last trial once ojisan gave everyone memories of the older timelines Sherry was like "don't worry about it" when Hanna had witched out from guilt for having Sherry accompany her to death twiceAlso, that last trial was kino and I can't see how they're going to top it the next game. We had:>Hiro's "I believe in everyone here" turning from perjury to something she actually believed>Hiro poking at everyone's traumas with a stick, in effect being a final exam for the player to see how well they know each of the girls by now>using magic in the trial
>>283933136I liked the Miria and Narehate ending. It was a cute tragedy with the monster just wanting to die as a human. I dig that.I also liked Ema randomly blowing herself up because it was like 1 minute long and so stupid it made me laugh
>>283937133>>Hiro poking at everyone's traumas with a stick, in effect being a final exam for the player to see how well they know each of the girls by nowI was so confused as how to feel during that part. Hiro's theme was playing so the game was telling you that you were doing the right thing, but at the same time you're still mentally tormenting all these girls that you've grown to loveI really didn't want to make Noa cry ;_;
>>283902351>The only thing I didn't like about manosaba was the fact that Hiro's timelooping had been underutilizedI respect the writers more for not doing time loop stuff because that's a stale trope by nowIn fact it was quite neat how becoming a witch means you can't die + Hiro's taboo being suicide effectively meant that she couldn't abuse return by death, though I was wondering why she just didn't ask any of the remaining girls to kill her after Hanna's trial, especially since we already knew mercy kills were possible from what Sherry did in timeline 1
>>283936378This
>>283937366She was hesitant to stab herself even while knowing she wouldn't die. I'm pretty sure assisted suicide is the same in her mind as killing herself directly
>>283937366Pretty sure the death needs to be completely unexpected, if you ask a guy to shoot you in the head or you run in front of a truck then you're just killing yourself
>>283937291It was because of the requirements to summon the Grand Witch, Hiro needed everyone to be a witch or they couldn't do it and she didn't have time to be careful because she only had one shot since her magic was useless now.That said the back and forth with Hiro and Ema having them take turns during the final trial was so good and was such a nice culmination of everything up until that point. I still see ojisan's part as a bit of an asspull like they ran out of time or couldn't work out how to reach everyone using both loops naturally and this was the only solution that worked. Aside from that it was an amazing finale.
>>283937519This, it's not about the act itself but the trauma attached to it. So if they perceive it a certain way it can still trigger the transformation.
>>283937291>but at the same time you're still mentally tormenting all these girls that you've grown to loveThis is menhera game after all. I personally loved it because I love seeing cute girls suffer (not in a ryona/broken bones way though).If anything, this game needed more psychological torture. One of my favorite scenes is Coco's last moments before getting killed by nanoka during the 2nd loop. You can feel the absolute despair she is going through thinking she killed her and trying so hard to cover it up. It's a feeling that is hard to explain but was always present in the game. Madoka or other suffering porn anime didn't do anything for me because I actually felt attached to all of the characters in manosaba. I genuinely care for them but also like seeing them this way.I wish they had gotten this artist (dormicum) to work on the manga or anything related to manosaba, he nails down this feeling so well.
I wonder how Hiro would have reacted to seeing Hanna hanging had she been alive during the first round. She reacted pretty badly even to just the noise of Arisa's hammock. Would she go ballistic and try to blame and kill Ema on the spot?
>>283937694I wonder if it'd be enough to make her turn or at least start turning since her trauma is suicide, would being too close to it have had a knock on effect with how strong her trauma is?
