What are /a/'s thoughts on the latest Gyaru x Otaku self insert wish fulfillment slop? Make no mistake, I actually am a fan of this genre, sort of a guilty pleasure.
>>
>>287428243
I want my fucking eraser back.
>>
>>287428243
It's as natural as the alliance between Japanese writers and modern gals since both the nerd and the gal result from rejection of mainstream culture's gender expectations. The most zealous forms of gyaru and otaku are outright counterculture and so it's only the restoration of ties that should have always existed. These sorts of school politics among cliques is also one of the shadows of the campus struggles of the 60s that established tropes like nepotistic and reactionary sports clubs and student councils siding with the school administration, police, and government against "eccentric" clubs.
>>
Got second hand embarrassment when skipping through it. But I understand this type of thing is needed for some dudes.
>>
The title is enough to tell me that I will hate it. I assume the protagonist is a loser who randomly receives affection from cute girls, and the story is entirely about their relationships.
However I would be fine with an otaku hero that picked up a gal heroine during his adventures.
>>
For me, its Gyaru-oh x Fujoshi
>>
Should I watch and/or read this?
>>
>>287429161
The brunette is a closet otaku so that's why they bond. The blond is actually family girl and her younger brothers like him. The girls are popular because they're hot, but they are not actual "gyaru".

The manga has a lot of soul. It was quite the surprise because the first few chapters were eh. It really came unto its own when Amane started geeking out with otaku-kun.
>>287429417

I don't give a fuck about wish fulfillment unless those pretentious retarded faggots never shutting up. Just hope this ends in threesome.
>>

The fuck? I literally didn't type it.

I knew a couple of girls like this in college, big tits, good fashion, went to parties, watched anime (literally just Naruto and Shingeki no Kyojin), and fucked otaku because they were all cute harmless virgins and they liked cute harmless virgins for some reason (I don't really get it), and also so they can nerd out about Naruto with them. And also they smoked weed.
One of the big breasted brown girls explained this to me while she was hanging out with my dorm mate, so I'm not just extrapolating this from some aberrant behavior or making it up from my sick fantasies, this is literally just what she said herself, and her white friend backed her up on it.
They were way too in to Naruto for me to care though. I want an anime to explore this aspect a little more. Yeah sure the gyaru "is secretly an otaku" and she "likes anime," but she's got shit taste and a low power level and I really don't wanna hear about her My Hero Academia ships for the 30th time today
>>
>>287428673
That and Nips wanted to fuck the blonde Valley Girl types.
>>
>>287428243
I liked the manga until it became obvious it was just going to be generic wheel spinning slop that will just endlessly tease OT3 shit util it finishes with a non-ending because it's blatantly obvious that Amane was supposed to the love interest but is boring and has way less chemistry with the MC than Ijichi. So now it just turns into standard "string readers along until the author is bored and ends it" bullshit.

That's sort of the point, the same types of media that were influencing female counterculture aesthetics were the ones giving boys fetishes.
You could say that otaku achieved a reversal of this, or at least had a part in a coalition victory, in making anime-like fashion trendy while being based on media that boys want to fuck.

>>287431263
This is why you join school clubs, go to cons, etc.
The college club here used to run their events out of a local bar and had wild after-parties with public sex and roman candle fights in the street
>>

>This is why you join school clubs, go to cons, etc.
I've thought about it but I just don't seem I was made for that shit, girls and relationships I mean
I experienced what is like to have a female friend for the past year and I saw in real time how she loses interest in talking to me day by day because I just don't know how to talk to people, especially women
I'm just wasn't made for THAT world...
I'm also scared of women and sex

This is just what happens with anyone, male or female. Women aren't different from men and there's no need to talk to them any differently or fear them.

These gal x introvert wish fulfilment shows are entirely realistic based on my experience in middle school. They weren't exactly gals in the japanese sense but they were tall, very horny and outgoing.

Though they found a new plaything when we changed seats and I was no longer sitting next to them. They even made the new guy masturbate during class

I don´t know what to tell you, it just doesn´t hit the same when the main is a girl even if it is a harem, besides self-inserting there´s a bit about how others see the relationship as girls together doesn´t stand out so much as a guy with multiple girls around
>>
>>287428243
I don’t know what things are like with women these days, but back in the ’90s and 2000s, girls could be pretty brutal to nerds, geeks, and otaku. I remember they mostly went for athletes or guys in gangs. The bullying my generation went through was so bad that it’s hard for me to believe attractive girls would actually flirt with or fall for shy nerds.

You can say cope or whatever, cause I think it's also a venting story, but the author has stated he made this because he got fucking tired of seeing NTR/Bully slop where parents were wholly useless and let everything happen.

So he wrote a story where adults actually step up and do something to stop bad behaviour.

>because he got fucking tired of seeing NTR/Bully slop where parents were wholly useless and let everything happen
Based. Zero tolerance was a mistake.
>>
>>287445441
It's a highly individualized thing actually. In my area there wasn't really any anti-nerd sentiment by the late 90s. There was no bullying based on hobbies at my mid 00s high school where the jocks were just as eager as everyone else to hook up xboxes to the classroom projectors during our pathetic "school festival" day. Dudes on the football team were on 4chan and there was an open recruitment effort to get more people to go to the anime con in town which was way less successful than the drive to get people to go out to play paintball. Convincing people to go to cons probably would have been easier if they'd been pitched as hangouts where everyone sneaks off to smoke weed and drink and have sex just like at a football game or dance, since that's what they were by that point. This was the height of the era of dub VAs touring the country fucking anything that moved at hotel-sprawling afterparties with more underage drinkers than at a frat house.

I had a little of both. Some girls were utter assholes, and frankly still are, but the occasional one was still friendly enough.

She said something like "yeah, like check this out" and gently tickled the back of my neck. She was right I got rock hard in seconds.

This. It’s how you carry yourself, but I’ll take invisibility over the alternative.

I mostly am invisible, It's only really the very rare occasion where a group of teen girls are together and one of them wants to be a cunt. I suspect they do this to any guy on his own, like how occasionally in a group of guys at least one of them will be an insecure prick and start insulting anyone on their own because he gets to act like a tough guy in a group of his friends.
I guess I might just live in a shitty area.

This is usually the case. It depends on the circle, but athletes are all right. You shouldn’t let bad pussy get in between either of you and cause a rift.

Hopefully not if we’re able to gatekeep /pol9k/ and the yuritards.

It's a gyaru x nerd anime. It's going to attract trolls, losers and internet tough guys. I'm pretty sure all shows like this have such threads.

Fuck. Might have to stick to the rare manga threads then, thankfully those people can't read.

GTO had a similar plot though. People just like who they like.

I'm thinking about picking up a modern anime romcom. Is this shit good (i.e. are the girls cute)? I can see they look cute but do they act the part too?
>>
>>287465426
watch the first episode and see for yourself
my answer is yes, they are the cutest!

3D females hate seeing 2D girls being kind to sub-8 guys, it makes them seethe and mald on X (formerly twitter), which is incredibly funny

Well I guess I know what I'm watching. Thanks anon.
