Episode 10 up
You choice?For me itʼs hugs.
Bþw, maybe itʼs just me, but þe first half of þis episode has worse animation (while average animation is already on low level).
Rikka never hugged hi. She just put her face on his chest
She's going to win, isn't she ?
>>286626795Japanese standard of hugging, I guess. Tbf, Tsundere also never kissed (it was þe book).
>>286626859But at least Nene kissed something. We've seen hugs before like with Shinobu and they weren't like that
>>286626645The first half episode looked like shit, but that scene at the end under the rain was pretty
>>286626754No need to waste budget on filler
Looks like only Shinobu is allowed to have some kind of aesthetically pleasing shots
>>286627021I have feeling þey donʼt have any budget at all.
This episode looked worse than usual
>>286626645Shinobu is so cute
>>286627280Worse than the karaoke episode ?
>[On Sale Today: PASH! April Issue] Chatty VTuber TV Anime "#Midnight Heart Tune" Collab Special! In addition to an interview with #Suzushiro Sayumi exploring the "two voices" of Kirino Iko, we also feature #Hoshimachi Suisei, who performs the OP, sharing her thoughts on the song!
>>286626645So they adapted 2 chapters and changed the chapter order just to end it on the rain chapter?
No manga chapter this week by the way.
>>286627474Yes gotta save the best for last
>>286627537Had a feeling last week they might pull that cause as the first part of the episode it would look out of place. Although I have no idea how did they stretch the ep so much.
>>286627528Damn that's a shame. The sooner the chapter is released the sooner we can be done with that arc
>>286627155It seems that the staff has their fav. Good taste.
>>286627763She's my fav as well but I'm surprised she got better looking scenes than Rikka, since Rikka is the first girl and looks like she's the main heroine
No chapter this week?
>>286627956Break due to author's health
nene will avenge nini
>>286628131I think he just fapped to hard to all the lewd Iko's he's drawn lately and hurt his hand
>>286626854Obviously, it's just a matter of time.
>>286628346Skill iſsue.
Least deranged tsundere
>>286628463Is this from the manga ? Shinobu in the anime keeps having the most romantic scenes
>>286626854The author is a hack so of course he's going to make the heroine based off one of his previous manga win. Just wish he weren't so obvious about it.
>>286628888Bþw, hwat is your choice here?
>>286626854>ear blushShe already won
>>286628888Based, I wish that Nene cheated on me
>>286628926Your English is degenerating beyond Old English and into Brittonic
>>286628903That's not being a hack if she got proper romantic development and after 10 episodes she's the one who has the most romantic scenes with him, the umbrella one is a classic. Being hack would be to make the Apollo girl win out of nowhere because she's Apollo whhereas using the same character design is pretty common for mangakas espacially when it's a weekly
Iko is pure!
>>286628986That scene wasn't real but I hope that it is foreshadowing for them, though I doubt we will see it since the anime is ending in two weeks
>>286629181Hey, that's Fuutarou.
>go co-ed>public morals collapseMany such cases!
>>286629136The others are noticing their vibes as well
>>286626710I don't actually know Japanese but her words did not sound as hardcore as the translation
>>286629242I would do nauȝty þings wiþ Lemon in þe school too.
>>286629275Slut recognizes slut
Confident girl getting flustered!
>>286628893It’s from one of the author’s previous manga.
>>286629328take your meds already
Pure!
LEWD!
>>286629517Slut.
>>286629570
Shinobros...
>>286629133This is a mystery, whodunit harem premise without a supposed main girl. If you write one character in such a blatant way where most of your readers can easily determine her to be the winner, then you fucked up as you want to maintain the illusion that the others have a shot for as long as possible. Shinobu being a carbon copy of his previous girl design-wise is just icing on the cake.He's just not good at this.
>>286627956>>286628046Oof that means that neatly lined up anime/manga match-up they had going is ruined now. I liked watching the anime first as a refresher of the current manga chapter.
>>286629553AI could do better than this
I am NOTICINGHow CURIOUS
>>286629648>This is a mystery, whodunit harem premise without a supposed main girl. So you make your own assumption and got bitter when the author proved you wrong. Harems almost always have a clear winner from the start anyway, and if you want a mystery maybe don't read a harem serie aimed at teenagers ?
>>286629648>This is a mystery, whodunit harem premise without a supposed mainTell that to Igarashi who likes to make Rikka take the spotlight for some fucking reason.
>>286629553>Can this hoe shut the fuck up for a minute?
eat my potato you dirty slut, swallow all the ketchup and let my see your swollen sodium-stained lips
>>286629777No, that is what it was sold as. You're just excusing it because you're blinded by waifufaggotry.>>286630031And it's extremely shallow every time.
>>286629133>if she got proper romantic development The MC is the same stonefaced, arrogant, egocentric ass that he was in chapter 1.But sure if you make a collage of the times he got flustered maybe you can imagine some kind of victory, when the truth is, the author sucks at romance, Senryuu Shoujo is funny, but is just about average in terms of romance from start to end.
>>286630431Senryuu Shoujo isn't even a good example. Nanako likes Eiji from the start. Eiji is goofy dense but still drops nonchalantly comments about how his ideal female matches Nanako's look or personality. No real or fake rivals at all.
>>286630670>No real or fake rivals at allI can tell you stopped reading early on
>>286630698You are correct. Weird that I remember the club president, the shy girl, the emo girl, but not the girl that is closest to a rival. So yeah, there was at least one fake rival.
>>286630431>The MC is the same stonefaced, arrogant, egocentric ass that he was in chapter 1.That's not true at all. His facade was already starting to crack in chapter 103. It's only a matter of time until Shinobu gets through him.
>>286630839unfortunately this shit is dragging on so that won't happen until a year later
>>286630839Dude, can't you let that chapter go? He decided from the get go to invite Nene as well, but you still keep implying Shinobu did something revolutionary in the chapter or that he solely invited her out. He was the same stonefaced guy encountering her and reacting to her.
>>286627380Yes, just look at this shit >>286629553
The only reason I liked this mangai n 2024 is because of the tummies and the bitchy teen makima femc, otherwise it feels like a rerun of every multi-heroine romcom of the last 15 years like yankee kun or majo or gotoubun.But to be fair, exposed tummy makes a strong argument.
>>286630996You have 0 reading comprehension, or you've completely lost me. This doesn't have anything to do with Nene or whatever Shinobu invited him to. It's about her asking him about his family situation which Arisu keeps changing the subject or keeps avoiding the conversation entirely.
Oh except it's not like kanokari, which was total shit. It's also weird Kazuya would be like 28 now. What a fucking horrible manga to run for so long and suck so hard.
>>286630996Fun thing is that he already dropped his facade in ch49 but that one totally doesn't counts, right?
>>286630996>Dude, can't you let that chapter go?nobody is going to let that chapter go considering it's a major turning point for Bucky's character development, you retarded faggot.
>>286630821there multiple fake rivals
>>286631141*there were
>>286630996And why do you think he invited Nene at the last minute ? He had no issue looking at the stars alone with Rikka. He invited Nene because he was getting too close to shinobu, asking her for a date. Anyone who has read romance before can see what happened here
>>286631068This, Fuutarou opening up to Miku about his dead mom was a major turning point for his character, there's no way she loses now
>>2866312085toubun still living rent free in your head is hilarious
>>286631208He opened to Miku and Nino about his mom because he was slowly rejecting them, oit of pity. Arisu mentioned his family out of nowhere, getting too comfortable with shinobu while being on a mini date. There's a clear pattern with shinobu always getting through him in the way the other girls aren't.
I just noticed Shinobu is the only girl who has three solo volume covers. None of the other girls have solo covers, the other girls are always present in the covers even if it's in the background. In terms of being the center and main focus of the cover, Nene and Iko also have three focused covers, and Rikka only has two...
>>286629133>>286629648>>286629777The anime's irrelevant to that, the manga has given all four fairly equal chapter, panel and page count, but there is a slight bias towards Shinobu.
Lemon-chan raped me.
>>286631068Shinobu stupidly started with the vacation question. I bet he would have answered but she decided to ask in an implying manner. It's all on her. Will it upset you when some other girl get the information out of him? >>286631101Correct.
>>286631363Tell moar.
>>286631364>It's all on herNot really, Bucky brought it up first in the field trip. She was just following up on that.
>>286631303>Arisu mentioned his family out of nowhere, getting too comfortable with shinobu while being on a mini date. There's a clear pattern with shinobu always getting through him in the way the other girls aren't.Are you falseflagging here?, Fuuts literally mentioned his mom out of nowhere during his mini date with Miku
>>286631193Typical Shinobuturd reaction. >Something only counts if it's Shinobu related. Read 500 romcoms BTW. I know my stuff.
>>286631101Him enjoying a concert is not him dropping his facade. How he treats Iko in the end is still the same.
>>286628903Edgelord Maximus
>>286631308The covers have the same patterns. >Shinobu solo>Iko duo>Nene trio>Rikka quartet
>>286631486Yeah sure but a solo cover feels more special.
>>286631359Those counts don't matter if they don't precise what the focus were about during those talks/chapters etc. Iko has clearly more career driven chapters than Shinobu, who gets more focus on romance and personal stuff which makes her the most likely winner.
>>286631410It's on her because she had the chance to press further before he ignored her attempt, but she instead started with the vacation question, then attempted an implication. She had all the time to be just a tiny bit forceful, but didn't press further. So will it upset you when someone else gets the job done?
>>286631410They just can't read
>>286631446>IT DOESN'T COUNTS!!!
Shinobufags reinterpret any fact however they want just to favor their snek; they're so funny.
>>286631545>It's on her because she had the chance to press further before he ignored her attempt>She had all the time to be just a tiny bit forceful, but didn't press furtherBecause she still respects his personal space. This is not fucking rocket science.
>>286631506That's true. She still won't win though.
>>286631359>equal chapter, panel and page countthe count doesn't matter you retard but what constitutes itshinobu is clearly the favorite
>>286631591>She still won't win though.You can be delusional all you want but with how Igarashi is writing Shinobu, it's only meta that she'll win by the end. No other girl in the entire series has been close to Arisu on a personal level.
it might be lazy but damn, my miniled monitor loves this shit
>>286631588After Arisu's reaction, she would have been dumb to force it, that's something nene would do for instance but not shinobu. It's just saved for later, Arisu might apologized one day and explain why he acted that way.
>>286631675Sunny Boy did it better.
>>286631359>the manga has given all four fairly equal chapter, panel and page countNot true, by the end of Volume 12, Rikka is already 300 panel counts ahead of Iko.
>>286631588She started with a leading question to ease him for the serious talk, but she respects his personal space. Okay bro. It's not a sin at all what she wanted, all I'm saying that not getting anything out of him is not an accomplishment. How many times do you want to dodge my question?
Anyone have the ikotuber bouncing?
>>286631652>Sponsored by your weekly Shinobuturd delusion
>>286631760Nobody is dodging your retarded question bro. It might not look like rocket science to your retarded ass, but this is definitely something that never would've never happened if Shinobu brought it up in the first place. Her seeing a few cracks in his facade is a good start for any good character development in the future.
>>286631752Alsmost as my rating, just swap Iko and Shinobu.
>>286631652He told her to fuck off when she asked something personal, but they still think Shinobu has a chance.
>gets the only romantic development>pushes him to reveal his personal life>is the only one arisu reacts differently withI dislike her but it's clear shinobu is winning this
It's just so funny to me how fucking obvious it is that, no matter how you look at it, just by how the story is being written out, everything about Bucky's personal struggle will be handled by Shinobu lmao. I don't even need to read this weekly to know that she's going to win in the end. Igarashi might as well start writing his new 5toubun slop clone while we're at it.
>>286631930The guy is a good illustrator but needs a writer.
>>286631994>is a good illustratorhe's great at legs and faces but everything else is just 3D or traced photos
>>286631787
>>286631853>the only romantic developmentdefinitely subjective>pushes him to reveal his personal lifeonly if you twist the canon material>is the only one arisu reacts differently withsubjective beyond subjectiveI want a meltdown collage with these posts when she won't win
Nene wtf, i thought you were better than this...
>i totally turned it off haha
>>286632944I thought it might've been on purpose but looking back at the scene, she presses the mute button twice quickly so it mutes and unmutes. It can be an honest mistake if you're in a rush I guess
>>286626854Im still convinced Apollo is either Rikka or Shinobu.I can see Nene and Iko having always been pulling an act since Nene could have been imitating other voices as a seiyuu and Iko has experience with doing an vtuber persona but i would feel those are for subvertion memes.
Quality.
>Make four characters with voice related professions in mind>The announcer is not distinctive enough to be its own thing, so gets lumped together with the VAPoor planning or lack of research
>>286633477Nene's short skirt is something else too
ENTER
Q U A L I T Y
>>286633576HI
>>286633581mmmmhhh fellow Mayotrannis?? I am not entirely happy with the artistic prowess of this animation...
>>286633576She Nobu on my Rikka until I Nene my Iko
>>286633581Studio KEKkou really outdid themselves today
>>286633581CHALLANGE ACCEPTED, KOUHAI.
>>286631359>>286631752Does that even mean anything? Rikka is more of a background character than the others so of course she'd show up more often.
>>286632638She's a tsundere, she's not saying her real emotions.
>>286633581look at this dood
>>286634031Is she though? S1 ends with her. S2 potentially ends with her kiss too. S3 again could end with her recent arc instead of the school trip if they keep this pacing.
>>286634074Correct. Nene is using that as a front to disguise the fact she's a succubus.
>>286633576>>286633581Even Ai would do better.
>>286634087NahNah and Roky
>>286634087You see hwich girl animators love more.
>>286634104This is not going to receive more than one season.
>>286634653Rumors said it's a split cour as averything these days for WSM
I want Rikka to win - I like her the most and her sex appeal is amazing
>>286635028Totally agree.
>>286633472AOP but isn't it obvious that Apollo is all of them.
>>286635028lol prepare for disappointment
>>286635028Yes. Rikka is only good to pump and dump.
>>286635278Iko on the other hand is a precious little treasure, that needs to be protected at all cost.
>>286635121I think all four hosted that late night show, but only one of them directly spoke to him over the show's broadcast and had feelings for him initially.
I can't wait for this shitty adaption to end. Every week hurts more
>>286635121>>286635492It's not like this page destroys the idea, but it does look like a subtle-ish way of telling that there is only one Apollo. At least in the present only one of them keep parading with the Apollo account and stream time to time.
>>286635760yeah there's clearly one apollo "left". but it's so intentionally vague, I also hate this trend of harem stories having flashforwards.
>>286635760Can't believe the author would just confirm it's Nene by giving her the bunny ears, how bold
>>286635853Hwat if it a bunny suit. Rikki would wear it.
>>286635805Flashforwards would be okay if the hacks wouldn't put at least one contradiction in them, but it always happen. They are way too ambitious with them and by the time the work ends retcon after retcon happen.
>>286630670>No real or fake rivals at allAh, then is a good thing you stopped reading it, because all of sudden for a while it becomes a harem with a string of girls who confess and get denied, then even after the main girl confesses we still waste chapters on tertiary chapters, I remember when I finished the story I counted the actual chapters where they spend time together and it was like...3.
>>286636359In 3 more chapters Mayotuna will tentatively have the same amount of volumes as Senryuu had with 13.
>>286630839Chapter 103 is not "already". Is too many damn chapters.
>>286632638>Cheat on someone because you suspect somethingNene is a "but it was real in my head" kind of woman.
A suddenly shrinking Shinobu!
>If only you knew how bad things really are.
>>286637210Lmao
Þe best girl.
I watched it.
>>286631675>my miniled monitor loves this shitWhat do you mean?
>>286629585why can't they animate blushes like normal people, that sucks. Manga solos.
>>286637833you're the last one. rope yourself.
>>286631588>Respects his personal space>Still peeks at his tablet anyway
>>286638807Presumably it means he felt the need to brag about his budget-option monitor. Probably a troll because nobody can be that stupid.
>>286631193>He invited Nene because he was getting too close to shinobuThat's literally just your headcanon.
>>286639426nene means nothing to him so there's no other reason
neeneebros...
>>286639506>nene means nothing to himI know Shinotards are delusional and like to make shit up for their narrative, but this is a reach.
>>286640289he literally doesn't think about her unless she does something
rikka's pantyhose legs
>>286640638Now you're just talking out of your ass.
Is it bad that I want Shinobu to breastfeed me?
>>286640838i accept your concession
>>286640971Yes. Nene is the designated breastfeeder.
>>286640971Not at all
>>286631359>>286631752>Counting panelsYou didn't learn shit from the Quinttuplets didn't you?
>>286645035>Harem slop readers>Learning
>>286645035It doesn't fucking matter if people counted panels or not because Shinobu is winning anyway in the end.
>>286645431A pity he couldn't allow the other girls to have a bit of chemistry or development with bucky.
>>286639043 >Presumably it means he felt the need to brag about his budget-option monitor. Probably a troll because nobody can be that stupid.MINI-LED is “budget” now? lmao. You people hear one Linus buzzword and think you're display engineers. He’s obviously talking about the insane contrast + bloom making the saturated romcom blush scenes pop like crazy. Reds get nuclear on those panels. It’s not a flex, it’s just copeposting about HDR brainrot. If anything the real budget move is watching compressed 720p rips on some washed-out IPS and pretending manga “solos” because your blacks are gray.
>>286645831OLED is pretty standard these days, and give better color (deeper blacks, brighter whites, more saturated colors) than the cheaper mini-LEDS that have blooming problems. So yeah, they're a cope for people who can't afford OLEDS. Also there's no blushing going on in that scene so that's clearly not what he's talking about.Come to think about it, he's probably being sarcastic and complaining about how he can't see shit because the color is bleeding/blooming massively into the dark background.
Holy fucking manface.How little is going on that people are getting excited over announcements? Is this episode full of QUALITY? Not including the purposefully drawn silly shots.I'd prefer a hug over a kiss on the cheek. Feeling her body pressed against mine gets the monkey brain going more.Cute cat on a first name basis. Spoiled jealous pink. Sultry brown. CG seaLarry's pronounced Rally's. Hopefully they do good night business since a small plate of fries is not going to pay the chef, a server, and a manger plus all the other expenses that well.>shared umbrella after being fedThey are basically married now.Thought they were going to do the train noise thing.
for the anon who wanted to know where this takes place, I'm pretty sure it's in Chiba
Neno
Nenobros...
Absolute fucking kino episode.
This was supposed to be translated as "Black Wind, White Rain" the translators at crunchyroll can't read shit.Also fun fact if you read the kanji of the black texts and white texts together, it sounds like a word play for "Confession" for the black text and "Married Couple" in the white text.
why no manga ch this week?
>>286647764Author's poor health.
>>286626645>2nd worst girl episodeeasy skippage me when its a nene episode
lol, they gave him a girly voice too fml
>>286647122>make 75% look like shit>give all the remaining budget to the last 25%It's fucking funny how the studio literally just likes Shinobu more than the other 3. She keeps getting all the high quality frames when the story shifts to her.
>>286626645I like it when anime girls smile like this
>>286648081It's almost like they were told to focus on the winning heroine or something.
