From the creator of Winter's big hit Polar Opposites, comes a story about an ice cold queen and her tomboy friend finding what every girl craves for in this world. This will truly pull at your heartstrings and make you wish you were not a loser in high school
>and make you wish you were not a loser in high schoolIt makes me wish women weren't psychotic in high school and were actually cute and loveable like they are in anime
Lol
Episode 2 doesn’t come out for another hour bri
These are some cute three boys
>>287352900I don't think it's ever adressed in the manga but it's cute that Miki and Koyuki wear matching earrings, they even have ones in this promo
>>287353070Love girl friendship
>>287352900Guess the love interest
>>287353559The boy on the right in the light blue sweater vest thingy.
Half an hour more for the peak of the week
Out! subs doko?
Is the source material better than Polar Opposites?
>>287354105Depends on how in tune are you with your feminity. If you like romance you'll like
>>287352591I love me tomboy yuri
>>287354105The character writing is considerably better even if it gets a bit messy at a point in the story. I'd say yes.
>>287354125I generally enjoy reading shōjo and Polar Opposites really surprised me with how good it is even though I kinda underestimated it at first because of its webtoon format.
>>287354217Then you are gonna fucking love this. I know i will
SUBS OUT!!!
>>287354253Cute gorilla.
Oof ouch my fucking heart. Don't you dare open if you don't want spoilers
>>287354105>>287354217Probably a matter of taste. Polar Opposites is almost pure saccharine sweetness, Ramparts of Ice is quite a bit more heavy-hearted.
>>287354325I love Minato!
>>287354272DICKS OUT FELLAS
>used goods maleDropped.Acceptance of whores is why society is so shit.
The seiyuu are on point, Koyun's is specially good.
>>287354701I don't care about the used goods but this shitter should be gutted alive.I absolutely detest when people are inviting themselves without even asking.

Legit sociopath.
alright, now that the setup is complete, let the drama begin.
>Mc became an ice queen after everyone tried to rape herShe has to be the most rapeable MC in years. Surprised she didn't become a man hater
This anime seems pretty nice so far. It makes me wish I had friends growing up.
>190cm tall, good-looking, good-natured dude with a great personality, who knows how to move a conversation along, pays for your drink, and accompanies you to the station to make sure you get home safe.Vs.>Creepy manipulator who lacks any empathy and has been dumped several times.There's literally no competition here.
>>287355487I know, the creepy manipulator already won
>>287352591Check point for later
>>287355487And people know women are good at taking deicicions
All the normalfags praising this series for it's drama but I just find it cringe and tryhard
>>287355353I'm usually an M but something about her activates the instinct to bully.
Miki should grow out her hair.
>>287355314I really don't like him, so the next episode is going to make or break the series for me depending on the group dynamic.
How much of a female do I have to be to enjoy this/not detest the male lead? 100% male since birth (the only kind) btw
Second episode felt much weaker than the first. Not sure if I should bother giving it another episode.
>Miki manspreadsAnd this is your school idol?
How many girls had the average height manipulative moid fucked (raped)?
does it really work?
>>287354325Taira is such an improvement over this faggot, it is unreal
>>287355642It's a character-focused show with a cast that's not particularly interesting. Which is odd, because the author's other series excels in that area. The tone is more down-to-earth than Polar Opposite, which explains why they can't be as eccentric here, but there's nothing to hook you or make you care about them either.
I appreciated the accurate depiction of myopia
mad cow
>>287355740>Which is odd, because the author's other series excels in that area.Do web comics even get proper editors?That might explain why it is so rough around the edges
I'm worried sisters. I was told this was not love triangle bullshit but it kind of feels like it. I asked ChatgPT and it said the love triangle drama gets resolved quickly but it didn't tell me who wins. I hope it's not the walking red flag manlet. Who would choose him over the tall guy?
I'll praise the transition to the ED in the first episode now since I didn't get the chance last week, it's so damn goodI liked it in this episode too, obviously they couldn't reuse the same gimmick but the music building up while Minato was seething was also very good
>>287355314This scene reminded me of Shoushimin.
>Tallfags coping threadLmao
she's literally me

I really hate the fanbases of these type of manga. They glorify "trauma" like it's the epitome of literary devices. And said traumas are basically first world teenage girl problems, barely controversial enough to not be censored. This and Polar Oposites are good but they're blowing it way out of proportion
This author does a great job of writing characters that are very likable and interesting but don't have to dip into waifu/husbando territory for appeal, it's refreshing
>>287355487MOGGED hard
Abe-sama...
>>287354272>this webtoon author is getting high quality back to back anime adaptations in this year Are these her debut work? Her writing skills are definitely above average, maybe excellent even. I can’t believe we never heard of her before those two works exploded.
>>287355487Hahaha…
>>287355487Women spent millions of years getting raped by sociopaths and having their taste in men and turn-ons shaped by that, it's not going to just disappear overnight because the non-sociopathic men managed to establish civilization
>>287355614Depends. Do you like soap opera?
>>287355487>Creepy manipulatorI'm lost here. He has issues obviously but he doesn't seem malicious or double-faced.
>>287356835Where's rom?Where's the com?
Episode 2 seems too early to reveal the twist villain but I will keep watching
>>287357223I honestly don't see the buzz over this mangaka. She writes his characters like they're all introspecting experts with a phd in psychology. They externalize their needs and insecurities in such an articulate way you kind of wonder why they even had them in the first place, I guess it's refreshing in the sense that it doesn't beat around the bush like other manga but it also feels very preachy and super formulaic. All character traits and personalities go out the window when they sit and have their end-of-arc 1 on 1 talk, they just become the autor's mouthpieces talking to the audience.
>>287357691That's what people are like though
>>287357708What the fuck? Not at all. If people were really like this there wouldn't be any divorces or missunderstandings ever. Not talking through your grievances with your loved ones is literally how resentment accumulates. Unresolved conflicts are very common in real relationships. Characters in Ramparts and Polar never let them build up because they always sit and talk through them, it's all very idealistic.
>>287355585She just cut it
Womanlets are built for 7ft roided monsters with 9 inch cocks
>>287357815I meant the first part, the second part is obviously the fantasy appeal of these series as opposed to the outright dream fantasies or crazy dramas in other romcoms
Netflix strikes again
>>287357961what a puta?
Just started watching. Very good, but I have a question, is the black-haired guy from the flashback in the first episode the blonde guy? If so, how the fuck did he and FMC not recognize each other?
>>287356835It's neither so far. The tone is basically a flatline.
>>287357884>cut itthe manga is as merciless as Nisio when it comes to her girlsI still can't forgive her what she did to Azuma
>>287357815You cannot say they don't let them build them up when you're posting a scene from chapter 100 talking about a conflict that's been present since chapter 1. Yes, you could say they are too articulate but it's not like they reach the correct conclusion first try.
>>287357487The opening of this episode is basically him telling people exactly what they want to hear in order for them to like him. He basically spells it out. His girlfriends dumped him once they realized that the dude is an empty husk who never really liked them.
>>287357961>Netflix strikes againWhat makes you say that
>nice guy vs. i can fix himI think i can see the ending. lmao women
>>287357961He says "pretty" in Japanese.
>>287357223Huh. I didn't find any of Seihantai characters to be particularly interesting. Azuma maybe (the second cour will show), but definitely not the rest, they are all pretty simple.
>>287357971>is the black-haired guy from the flashback in the first episode the blonde guy?No
>>287356308>Tricked him into watching a show for girlsHappens to the best of us. At this pointGirl main character = Show for women
>>287358059>>287358075Then why not just translate that as "that girl is really cute. It's literally what he said in Japanese
>>287358107I see. They looked kind of similar, plus there was a photo of him when he was younger in his house with black hair.
>>287356835It's the only romcom I am watching so yeah, it is
>>287358117You will know in (probably) 2 episodes, but if you want a reason check the spoilered pic.
This seems way, way better than Seihantai. Well, from here it could still go to absolute shit, but so far the writing has actual dramatic potential. Definitely picking this one up.
>>287355314I'm a bit lost, is he the black haired dude who bullied Koyuki in middle school?
>>287358116No woman can resist the Big Barbarian Cock
I miss Taira...
>>287357215The reason people "glorify" trauma when it comes to drama, which is what good romance should aspire to be (but Seihantai fails to be, its just bubbly, saccharine nonsense), is it basically defines the human experience. Few people actually have perfectly happy relationship or go through life with no conflict, misunderstandings or problems. Good drama is relatable, therefore good drama is always going to deal with some sort of trauma.If you just want bubbly feel good romance with one-dimensional characters, there are way more of those shows out there than shows like this.Anyway I can kind of see why someone in an earlier Seihantai thread hyped this up seeing as its the same author, but I think as for the crowd its suited for I would more say its the Ikoku Nikki enjoyers from last season.
>>287358116Lmao. I saw the title while looking at the spring season and passed it off, but I'm now going to watch this because of this webm alone.
>>287358461Minato is Taira with Azuma's body count
yeah bro... cute girls always randomly bump into tall chads, just a coincidence
>>287358623So 0? Because Azuma's relationships all lasted like 2 days and she was still in middle school.
>>287358740>middle schoolIn a US school that would still imply having lost both anal, vaginal and oral virginity. Jap schools probably aren't far behind by now.
>>287358740>So 0yes but only because of uint16 overflow
>>287358623Judging by his relationship with the black haired four eyes and his pathetic feminized reactions to MC in the latest chapters I doubt he has fucked anyone yet.
I don't get what's the gimmick of this, you are supposed to give a catch for this kind of series.
>>287358479>it basically defines the human experienceDepends on who's watching it. It certainly doesn't define my lived experience. I can relate more to - and get more catharsis from - nonsensical, ideallistic intrapersonal works of fiction than I do realistic interpersonal dramas.t. asocial schizoOn a side note, I enjoyed Seihantai last season because it was cute. I think the author has a good grasp on how people work in social situations, but at the same time it feels like she forces these little moments of characters being astutely self aware too often. Not every person in real life is second guessing themselves and others in real time during a casual interaction. It's obviously a quirk of her writing that I don't mind, but it worked well in Seihantai because it wasn't trying to be realistic or serious, whereas I get the impression this series is going to be more melodramatic. I'll see how it pans out. So far I'm enjoying it enough to keep watching, but not as much as Seihantai.
>>287358623Taira wasn't cocky at all. This guys is. They're not the same.
Did Seihantai create the new 5toubun schizos or are these still the same people?
>>287359198>Taira wasn't cocky at allyes, Taira is definitely way more likeable but that's because Minato is targeted even more toward women than Taira.That aside both of them have the same insecurities - the fear of people rejecting them after learning their true selves.
>>287358238>/a/non throws a hissy fit at "Netflix" (we all know the dogwhistle here)>the scanlation has the EXACT SAME letter for letter translationIt would be hilarious if it weren't so sad. Stop using translation to fight your culture war, retard.
>>287356483No, he's just good at manipulating others to like him.
>>287352591what a FUCKING BITCH
>>287359813yes, screw him

>>287355654She's literally perfect.
>>287360190I mean, I am still watching it but manwhore Taira and tomboy Azuma that are not even a couple is not the most fun thing to watch
>I am a perfect psychopath manipulator, how come the female MC laughs with him but not with me?!>*ring ring* Moshi moshi kareshi-san? You're kind of a psychopath and that's why I was horny for you, but how come you haven't beat me and killed me? That's an ick. Bye.>Guess I'll have to seduce another chick with my psychopathic charm.

Bizarro-Seihantais?
>>287361408why are women like that?
>>287361651Is that guy on the right the brother of that girl with double-colored hair?
>>287361651>evil Taira>quiet Suzukipretty much
I liked that part at the end where she has conflicting feelings of wanting to be alone but also wanting to spend more time with the new people she just met.Pretty relatable.
>>287356441You failed 2 out of 4 guesses.
>>287361651yes but instead of polar opposites they are just bipolar
>>287361778>quiet SuzukiNot really.>evil TairaYou nailed it.
>>287356571Is she wearing two socks?
>>287361963>Not really.nah, the mc is definitely Suzuki for the most partHer short-haired school idol friend is Azumaand Nishi is not yet introduced

>>287361651less genki SuzukiEvil TairaAzuma, but her body count still fits in uint8Yes, it's Yamadaand the two in the front presumably Nishi and Tani
>>287358552>Anon is gonna watch just because he saw a big dickAnon, you're gay.
I would have fallen in love with Hikawa if I went to school with her.
>>287362037>nah, the mc is definitely Suzuki for the most partHow? They are nothing alike personality-wise. Koyun is extremely passive and overthinks a lot. Suzuki always charges full ahead and deals with the consequences later.>Her short-haired school idol friend is AzumaI don't remember Azuma being a hyperactive tomboy.
>>287358032Yeah that one I understand. But from how it was visualised it looks like an emotional problem he has, like Koyuki's but in the opposite direction, rather than a deliberate thing on his part.
Hikawa reminds me of the girl I would tease in high school for being short
>>287362274Now you know what you missed out for being a jerk.
>>287362301Yeah, author sama has taught me the errors of my youth
>>287362094That's Aizen.
>>287362223>How? They are nothing alike personality-wise.you can say she is her polar opposite>I don't remember Azuma being a hyperactive tomboy.Azuma got all of the best scenes / panels that Miki had in her manga and as the story progresses Miki starts to look more feminine.Also even her surname is Azumi.
>>287355487He looks evil.
>>287362614Azuma for comparison
>>287356835Best so far at least
Hot sis.
>>287362192I just find dick jokes funny. I don't know, maybe you're onto something...
>>287362712Taira if he only thought about other people the way he thought about himself.
I like how this mangaka draw socks and shoes.
the main couple pairing for the ramparts of ice is fucking shit
The stalker manwhore winning already ruins this series for me.
>I like her because she's the only girl who keeps avoiding meWhy are shoujo mcs like this?
>>287362699>eh, anon, are you a fag?
>>287352591hows the adaption?i heard ep 1 adapted 10 chs which made me lose interest but hows ep 2?
>I have the most vanilla trauma ever. I'm gonna sulk for a few episodes and then talk to [guy] and [friend] about it to help me cope and move on from such mild trauma that happened during my chilhood (TL note: the "childhood" this 15 year old references happened like last week)Why is this getting so much praise what the hell
>>287354325The manga is formatted like a webtoon??
>>287364379you just don't get it unc. these are REAL people with REAL trauma
>>287364379Don't EVER belittle women's suffering, chuddie
i DO NOT like minato he is ruining my romance between yota and hikawa
>>287356483Reminds me of Ace Attorney
This is the only Anime i am watching this season
Holy shit he is fucking crazy. What a god tier twist
I was promised ramparts of ice what the fuck is this
>>287366345just imagine i'm not lazy and pretend I posted a "Th-Thank you Ramparts of Ice" edit of Chainsaw Man
A-am I the only one who likes Minato?
>>287366208I only watched Polar Opposites last season, but this time I picked up six shows.
Liking this guy a lot so far. He is literally me. My dark side, that is. Taira is my other self
>>287366516Damn, i rarely watch more than one show per season and boy do i try. I already know what i'll watch next one
>>287366497Yes
>>287366497Not at all, i like him too. These kinds of flawed characters are interesting to watch
>>287366497I liked him last episode but now my opinion on him and Giraffe have swapped. But that's fine since it seems like we are suppose to come to like Minato rather than like him right now.
>>287366497He reminds me of myself sadly
>>287366546I'm usually the same, in fact I'll probably just watch the second half of Polar Opposite and nothing else next season to "recover".
Koyuki's cute socks
Boring. Polar opposites was only saved by Nishi. What will save this one?
>>287352900>a guy wearing sandals>none of the girls wearing open toe shoesI am disgusted
Manletbros
>>287364379Shut up, listen and learn, chud.
>>287366662>"recover"Once i think it was 2018 or 2016, i watched 18 shows in a year. I know it sounds like a child's game for the average anon but since then, i've only watched like 4 to 6 shows. I guess im still recovering
The girl friendship feels more genuine than in other shows
No ay, did they seriously end it here? I need more
>Reading the comments of girls>the two pairings with Koyun already have fans willing to die for their shipAs expected, this appeals to them
>>287366900Netflix should've released the entire season...
>>287367111Let's not exxagerate
Gotta love this bastard
>>287352591This was much better than I was expecting
>>287359155>nonsensical, ideallistic intrapersonal worksHm, have you read Zaregoto series?
>>287367111No way, this is shaping up to by my Ikoku Nikki of the season and I want to discuss it with you faggots.
I just watched the two episodes.Isn't this anime absurdly good so far?Seihantai was great already, but that's on another level. Is the author a genius or something?
>>287366938Demented.
I get that a lot of people are brainrotted with anime tropes but it's baffling how fast people jump into conclusions, like about Koyuki's trauma or the nature of Minato's actions. Having a slightly unreliable narrator doesn't help but even with that it feels like a series isn't allowed to have build up and take its time. Just let it breath.
>>287359931Why did he crush hard on her in the first place again?
>>287371136>I can fix heror in his case>I can unlock her
>>287368188I haven't, but I've meaning to read Nisio's stuff for a while now, so I will do one day.
>>287364379Have you ever read this old manga called Nana before?
>>287366748Ramparts of Ice is more of a slow burn but things get absolutely intense in the middle parts of the story where the relationship dramas kick in proper. It's a much more "serious" story than Seihantai though so that may not be your cup of tea but I can say for sure that Koyuki is a far more compelling MC than Miyu.
>>287366497Show bobs.
Picked this up not expecting much but the characters are great and I like seeing them interact.
damn is the keymaster gonna open her pussy?
>>287366345Seriously how can anyone call her an ice queen when she immediately starts giggling with a dude after like ten minutes of total interaction
bruh I wanna cum on her hair
bruh how fucking big is this guy
>>287358238That's fucking stupid, just "p" is way too ambiguous. How is anyone supposed to guess it's meant to be either "pretty" or "pitiful"? In Japanese, the first three characters are the same, so it's not nearly as ambiguous.
>minato the gigaautist schizowow hes like me FRFR
>>287372406how big is he, and how short is she? *insert hamster eating banana meme*
>>287372514hopefully he finna rape the dumb femc

>>287372777and this one is for women...
>>287373360i self insert as the autist guy
>>287373367>i self insertsounds gay
>>287359813It's a valid complaint but most teenagers don't at that point in their lives.
>>287355912The red flag guy actually challenged the MC's trauma and force her to self introspect and grow up though.
I really wish Miki was taller, maybe just a little bit closer to Giraffe-kunBut I would also be happy if she was a fuckin midgetAnyway, the point is: I can appreciate a cute short-haired genki girl with stud earrings
>>287355560The dude being tall is a pretty big factor. Can't tell you how many livestreams and street walks of japan I've watched where a girl is walking around with tall dude passing by.
>>287375655Amazing how japs have this fantasy of people other than their parents solving your problems or "pushing you to grow" etc
>>287376032I wish she had longer hair
>>287376240NO YOU FUCKING DON'T.
>>287372754Minato definitely wanted to say kawaisou before he was interrupted by the phone callAt least this is what it felt like in the anime.The translator should’ve just given up and not tried to translate the wordplay at all.
I want to ram her parts.
If they keep the pacing of the first 2 episodes it should end around the sports festival.
>>287363036
>>287376206You never have a friend who tells you off if you do stupid shit?
>>287377217How far is that in manga
>>287377247He's a siscooooon!!
>kinda like polar opposites, too fluffy and romance too idealized for my tastes though>was told pamparts was more emotional and realistic>girl was... uh bullied (literally just teased a bit) in middle school for having a scary face. now she's a borderline suicidal emo and builds ramparts of ice around her except when she doesn't>she literally folded almost instantly to tall guy's niceness, so her loneliness was pretty much just performativeActually, looking at it this way, she's definitelly realistic in the sense that she's just another high school poser foid
>>287377839Half
>>287372406Uh... For you
I am impressed with the cast so far. Even the nice guy is fun to watch. I won't say whether I prefer them over the Polar Opposites cast because I don't like comparing but I like them a lot. That's all I'm gonna say
>>287380106Seihantai benefits from a larger cast and a more carefree premise, but this is like if everyone were Taira or the other background characters with some backstoryIt's dangerously close to something I'm writing RAIGHT NAO so I'm comforted by it, even if it's not quite as colourful as SehanteiAnd of course, I an completely enamoured with the Gorilla
>>287353559Tallest guy with white bread personality?Femslop is so fucking dull
