Is slowburn romance a dying art? nowadays the couple will fall, confess or get together 2 eps in. I miss when authors took the time to build the couple up, let them fall step by step, explored the characters individually and gave them obstacles.
holy shit please kill yourself immediately
It was never an art. It was a result of talentless hacks not knowing how to write a relationship after something happens, without all the dumb misunderstandings. Largely because they were written by faggots who never dated.
>>285229966Did you miss solo camp for two?
>>285230015why are you mad in every romance thread
>>285229966Read futari bus. It came out last year but its not one of those "reiwa" romance confesses within 5 ch. The pacing is really good though.
>>285229966Doesn't Frieren have a slowburn romance?
>slow-burn romance>artIt only works in series where romance isn't the main focus.Outside that it's for people with the most trashy taste possible and, unfortunately, Japan is full of those.
>>285230133I'm not the anti-romance schizoI'm SPECIFICALLY mad at OP and his retarded opinion
>>285230030>talentless hacksBlame the editors, most of the bs comes from trying to stretch the will they won't they for way too long
>>285229966I was thinking the same thing when I watched In the Clear Moonlit Dusk today. You and I Are Polar Opposites couple got together on the first episode made me appreciate both slow burn and couples getting together quickly.
>>285230015>>285230328Holy shit take your own advice, by cop or bridge, don't care, just stop being a cunt
>>285229966If there isn't any age gap it's garbage in any case
>>285230670preach it, unc
Egregiously shit taste i don't need to watch 50 episodes of a show for them to finally confess. Waste of time, and you have egregiously shit taste. >>285230670Holy based
>>285229966Any romance at all is dying and people settle for less and less.
>>285229966I bet you also love it when the author adds a competitor to pad out the drama too
>>285229966It's the power of shoujo, couples hook up fast so the manga can be about their relationship itself, their good times and bad times as a couple.
>>285229966The problem with slowburn romances is they always add drama, other potential partners, and a variety of other filler that makes the story infuriatingly slow. The payoff is almost never worth it because the confession happens at the very end.
>>285230670This
>>285229966It's like isekai. There needs to be instant gratification and no hardwork/drama in acquiring whatever is desired. Isekai is strength and woman, in romance its the partner.
>slow burn>300 chapters of nothing then ends the second someone actually confessesIt can stay dead
>>285229966slowburn romance only works if the main focus of the story isn't romance
This thread is funny cause Polar Opposites have such an amazing slow burn ship
>>285229966Cringe take. Fast romances are the best and aren't even that common. Most of the time is a 100 chapters of the author drawing the story for no reason. See >>285232874
>>285229966>couple forms immediatelyUgh, manga authors just have no patience for romance anymore.>couple forms midway throghUgh, what's even the point anymore, just end the manga already.>couple forms at the very endUgh, can nips write a single romance that doesn't end right after confession?
>>285233922People are still waiting for the Evangelion/Madoka of the romance genre.
>>285233949You mean a deconstruction or a masterpiece?
>>285234171Yes.
>>285234210Nana is romance but le dark and mature. Utena is a deconstruction of shoujo romances. School Days is a deconstruction of harem tropes. Totono is the same but for visual novels. All of them are far from being masterpieces though.
>>285229966>Is slowburn romance a dying art?No retard it's still the default. Stop having kneejerk opinions about whatever shows up on your social media feed.
>>285232274The problem with most isekai romances is they collect girls like gatcha and do nothing with the relationships
>>285229966>Why is the most insufferable, annoying and time-wasting practice dying out???Gee, I do wonder.
>>285230406Makes sense, if the editors believe the readers are fucks that have never dated then of course the manga will end when the couple starts to date.
>>285230030>Largely because they were written by faggots who never dated.Explain Maison Ikkoku then.It's to milk the series, experience has nothing to do with it.
>>285230670Zoomettes belong to us Millennial chuds.
>>285229966The death of romance was never the pacing, it was the existence of rom-coms. Because rom-coms never have the focus on the romance part, they are always mostly focused on comedy with romance being an afterthought
Anyone got any recs? I've been re-reading this and god it gives me so much fucking diabetes shit hurts. I'm not that big of a fan of the direction the manga but the chemistry between the two leads is pretty good.
>>285230200Hard agree. I don't know how the Yugami-kun author pulled it off with his baseball/rakugo autist, but goddamn that baseball game reveal was good.
>>285233949>>285234329please do me a favor and stop posting immediately
>>285237953Being in a relationship is about enjoying the other's company. Rom com is real romance drama is fake romance.
>>285229966>secondary complains about manga he hasn't read
>>285237899What's to explain? It's the best romcom ever made.
>>285238597No, because it's true.
>>285239907According to him it's not art, following his logic.
>>285229966Is pic related slow burn? They are basically together but dude is too autistic to realize it.
>>285229966Just some new-age shit. Zoom zooms get bored by episode 2 if there's no plot progression/flashy battles/etc.
>>285240606You should learn to not take absolute statements at face value. Exceptions always exist.
>>285229966Slowburn anything is a dying breed since everyone these days has the attention span of a gnat.
I think it's pretty obvious when you read a romance manga and you're like "this author hasn't been in a relationship" vs "this author has been in a relationship"
>>285241350
>>285240629Yes, but it does it better than most others.
>>285241561I mean I feel bad and all but it is pretty damn obvious with the interactions if something has some weight to it or not. There's a sense of "dirt" that you don't really get from the fantasy romance writers.
>>285229966I'm happy author's are moving away from slow burn romance. After watching two seasons of MDUD it was refreshing to see a confession in the first episode.
>>285229966>slowburn>12 episodes>absoultely nothing happens>MC shits and pisses anytime the love intrest looks in their direction>never even get a confession
>>285229966>I miss when authors took the time to build the couple up, let them fall step by step, explored the characters individually and gave them obstacles.Congratulations on being a stupid /v/ermin contrarian. 200+ chapters of will-they-won't-they bullshit has been a problem in anime for decades. Good, that more artists are actually exploring the romantic couple dynamic rather than closing on it.
>>285238009Bumping this. You guys got any more "adult romance" recs?
>>285230015>>285230030>>285230753>>285232333ADHD zoomers that need instant gratification and can't take their time to absorb things and need a constantly moving story are a cancer.
>>285242304i agree but it was getting to the point where every single slowburn romcom followed the exact same story beats. whats the fucking point? we know there will be a rain episode where they share ah umbrella and she notices his shoulder is getting wet, there will be a cold episode where one of them feverishly admits or realizes their feelings and the other one takes care of them, etc. it's boring to watch the same thing over and over again.
>>285241877Nothing stops an author with "experience" from writing idealistic romance.Hackaka is a divorced dude, and Kaguya was quite the "dragged-on will-they-won't-they bullshit that never happens in real life" manga.It's fiction. It doesn't have to be realistic.
>>285242030why dont you look it up on your phone
>>285242448Why are you the way you are?
>>285239907its literally not. Kare Kano is the best romcom ever made, and they get together like episode 1.
>>285242447It's more of "guy with experience" can make a shitty manga but a "guy without experience" can never really make something authentic or not. Idk prove me wrong I guess.
>>285229966>Is slowburn romance a dying art?Yes, the jp government needs their people to BREED NOW
I think it's because 90% of anime spends the entire series building up to the confession and then it ends, no exploration of the couple after their feelings are admitted to each other.Like any fucking Rumiko Takahashi work.
>>285230030This. Fuck that shit, fuck OP, and fuck the defenders.
>>285242495>authenticWhat do you mean with authentic if not realistic?People like you just want the whole cheating/smoking/drugs/tattoos, and are angry that some media is still allowed to portray something that is different.
I have never been in a relationship before but this my take.The chase is far more interesting and a happy couple needs more than romance to be worth reading. All communication issues in relationships have to do with one party wanting to fuck someone else.
>>285230015Hilarious that you got triggered so bad by anon very simple description. You life is that bad, isn't?
>>285239907>It's the best romcom ever made.Maison Ikkoku is THE example of dragged nonsense and misunderstandings out of the ass, that shit will never be the best at anything, except at being horrid.
>>285242304Imagine being such a cancer slurping pest that you would consider snail paced off trash as the high art of "taking time to absorb things". Nips can't write good slow paced romance without resorting to the most retarded contrived plot elements imaginable.
>>285242488>Kare KanoI liked it but dropped it when they fucked. Not watching a fucking slut having sex before marriage
>>285242304>romcoms are slowburns that last for 300 chapters with barely confessing and no kissingFUCKING ZOOMERS ARE SEXLESS AND DONT UNDERSTAND ROMANCE>romcoms begin with immediate confession and dating >FUCKING ZOOMERS WITH THEIR ADHD AND THEIR TIKTOKSZ. D. S. Zoomer derangement syndrome. You are deranged. Get help. Tell all your assblasted millennial friends on this sinking ship of a website to get help as well. Rotten, miserable cunts.
>the 37 episode of Ah My Goddess>close to the end of the 2nd season>the female love interest offers the protagonist a sip of her soda>>"whoa she had her mouth there already, it's almost like an indirect kiss"
>>285242304Okay, so you do understand that the world is a horrible place as is. And it's getting worse.Why IN THE FUCK!!! Would you wanna waste your time one something that's gonna be 500 chapters / 5 seasons of shit that refuses to move.I'd rather put near money on a show where a male lead uses a semi truck to break through a bitch's mental wall to get her to agree to be his gf/sex toy then have him worried that a woman he falls in love with might be fucking BBC or Korean pop stars.
>>285229966>couple will fall, confess or get together 2 eps inGood
Slow burn romance is dumb when you have a population reproducing below replacement levels. Better to show couples speed running the peaks and pitfalls of relationships and the challenges and blessings of starting a family.
>>285243758>worried that a woman he falls in love with might be fucking BBC or Korean pop stars.You're fucking ill.
>>285243847Japan and the Earth as a whole (but especially Japan) is horrendously overcrowded. The population SHOULD be going down. Nature is correcting itself. Look at the famous rat utopia experiment- even rats won't reproduce when overpopulated
>>28524192324 episodes
>>285243947Have you SEEN these male K-pop entertainers, though?
>>285243758>where a male lead uses a semi truck to break through a bitch's mental wall to get her to agree to be his gf/sex toy>worried that a woman he falls in love with might be fucking BBC or Korean pop starsHow do "people" like you even find this website?
>>285244194>How do "people" like you even find this website?Huh? This site's so easy to find. WTF, yourself.
>>285243543don't lump all millennial's in with that faggot. I admit most of my gen is pathetic but not all of us.
>>285229966She's a pure girl
>>285244881gomenasai
>>285243543It does get pretty boring after what, 6 years.
>>285243758Because people didn't used to be inpatient retards that are constantly waiting for "when will they get together" at the end. People enjoyed reading and watching the characters chemistry with each other and the scenarios they put themselves in, and spent time to learn about the feelings and emotions the characters are going through. Wow, what an unheard concept.
>>285242495I know what you're trying to say 100%Your experience is going to bleed through, no matter what. There's authentic romance that an author understands, and then there's tropey fake shit they learned from fantasizing about other manga.There's a distinct difference and it really does show through.
>>285242488They got together in episode 4.
>>285246746Okay, but "slow-burn romance" is a theme."Slow-Burn Romance" is one of many themes.And just like with shounen battle, hentai, or any other theme that exists in the entertainment industry; any drooling blob goober can come in, take that theme, shake his shit out of his ass, and turn it into dumpster fire. And then it would become more popular than the most popular thing out there.Your snarky remarks? Your blatant disregard for other people who want romance to NOT be of the "slow-burn" flavor? You'll be the reason why the lot of us, who enjoy anime and Japanese animation as an art form by the way, want to see Japan H-Bombed five more times.At the very least; have these shitty animu and mango creators, and the companies that enjoy their shitty works, go through the same shit KyotoAnimu did when that one guy went and burn it down. Just so everybody can be humbled and go, "You know what? Maybe we shouldn't just make anime and manga for those who hate humans and wish to see other suffer."
