New chapter out Runako: Why? I was sure it wasn't going to be me. The ones you started dating first were Shio and Akari, right? So why me?Eiyuu: It’s true that I thought I liked Akari and Shio first. I had been keeping a lid on my feelings for a long time. I told myself there was no way these girls could like me, that it was all in my head. But when I found out that everyone was in love with me and we all started dating, I realized that I had been keeping a lid on my feelings for everyone else, too. I understood that my feelings were equal.Eiyuu: I was always being supported by you, wasn't I? Even when it should have been the other way around because I’m the older one. Honestly, I had thought you would grow up and be able to do everything by yourself, even without me. I had thought that you alone would have understood if I chose someone else and wouldn’t cry.Runako: Then why—Eiyuu: But the truth is, you’re just an ordinary girl. Because you’re so perceptive and considerate, you’re able to hide your own feelings. Even though it hurt you, you didn’t let it show, and you were there for me. You became precious to me.Eiyuu: You’ll just keep pushing yourself if you’re left alone, and no one will know. And that’s why, I want to protect you! I realized that I want to make you happier than anyone else.
>>287457266Dump it
>>287457266Why are authors so scared of justifiable harem ends?At least it wasn't the tomboy.
completely out of the blue ass-pull choice.
>>287458289>completely out of the blue ass-pull choice.
>>287458259harems are hard to pull off and feel genuine. Especially in a "normal" setting like this.Too often reek of indecisiveness, where the author is afraid of making a choice and pissing off part of the fanbase
>side girl wins
>>287458969There was no main girl.
>Best girl wins
>>287458289Shuffle'd
>>287457266So the usual "self-sacrificing" trope wins.
>>287457266Yotsubest won again
>Childhood friend wins>Childhood friends loseBullshit man
>>287459232not really comparable since shuffle is a vn, they just randomly chose a route from the source for the anime
>>287457266I'm still for Haru, but okay. If this is what Eiyuu wants then whatever. >>287458259KILL YOURSELF NIGGER.
>>287459836Have they tried making a petition that has garnered thousands of signatures?
>>287457266is this meant to be ending though? or is there more to come?
>>287460021supposedly it is meant to end on chapter 200 and final volume on May 8th. This confession and his choice is happening with an oni game/tag game between chapter 196-197.
>>287457266Bait & switch soonAkari will win
>>287457266>best girl wonmaybe i will pick it up again
>>287457266And here I totally thought the tsundere would win.
FACT: JCs are the strongest race
If the tsun lost for real I might pick up the serie
>>287459504For real ?
If this is some sort of misdirection for the true ending I hope someone stomps on the author's nuts. Faking out that shit makes the MC even worse as a character. These stories where it only matters who wins and doesn't matter how far the characters ruin and debase themselves suck.
>>287461246I really hated when Masamune-kun did a fake-out on the 2nd to last chapter. Holy shit that was terrible. I completely agree.
>>287461246It's going the bokuben route
I think it's owari da.
Should I pick this up again? Dropped it at that swimsuit contest.While I like Akari, the most important thing is I just need Blue to lose.
Should've been Shio or Akari
>>287460969
>>287457266Wait, seriously?
>>287461345
>>287461481idk, debating it myself. do we know if this is actually end-game?not that i'm disappointed. as long as purple or red wins i'm good.
Akaribros...
:3
>>287463001>do we know if this is actually end-game?It feels very final, even the chapter's title is just "confession instead of the usual "romcoms don't happen..." joke
>>287457266:3
>>287457266If this is true I will seriously consider reading the manga
>>287461345Another >Yotsuba situation eh.
>>287463001>>287463242Guess we'll just wait and see.
I knew she was the best girl from her introduction. But I'll wait until it's fully finalized before I start caring about this again.
dump?
>>287461345I like her the best too but this is very much an ass pull because for the longest time Akari and Shio are pretty much the only real contenders.
>>287457266>Asspull win out of nowhereThis is toubun all over again
akikibros not like this...
I will now read this manga.
>>287465673I don't think the "supportive one wins" is an asspull now precisely because Toubun happened.In fact, the first time I saw Runako being supportive I thought that maybe a Toubun would occur.
Total supportive genki JC deredere victory! Death to tsundere and equally wishywashy childhoodfriends.
>>287465495Raws are already out, I can dump it in a few hours if no one else does by then
>>287467075How could anyone not see her being the best girl? Are they blind or stupid?>>287467144With how slow 4chan is right now, it's probably best to wait anyways.
>>287467448>How could anyone not see her being the best girl?The anime threads made it look like Akari was the fan favorite but that might just been a loud minority
>>287467830I mean, the official manga poll resulted in 1. Blue, 2. Red, 3. Purple. So even the japs quite liked the main duo. As for the threads here, I'd say it was more or less split between Runa and Akari.
>>287467830Yeah, and I get it. I mean I don't like tsundere myself (at least anymore), but I can get why someone watching would like Akari over like Shio. But Runako came into the story swinging like an absolute mad woman that cut through the romcom bullshit of the story within moments of her appearing, all the while with a smug :3 on her face. The only logical reason someone could have for not picking her is that she seemed kind of tertiary to other two, so you might want to just write her off. But still, I won't celebrate just yet. Need to see them finalized with my own eyes first.
>>287467830For me, Shio was best girl until Runako appeared because I love big boobs and then Runako being a little devil airhead who knows what she wants.
>>287468002>The only logical reasonWe're talking about tastes in 2D girls, anon. What appeals to you might not appeal to another.
>>287468003Isn't Runa the second flattest?
>:3>twintails>best girlEvery time.
>>287467830Akari-fags were the only one bothering to play the game of proclaiming their favorite in the first place. Probably compensating for the fact that Akari-style tsunderes really aren't that popular and are the least deserving archetype to "win".
>>287468308nice revisionism but there were plenty of runafags who were stating how best she was too
>>287468308Tsunderes are still the most love trope and they should win all the time
>>287468556trvth
>>287468002nta but I had written her off as the winner precisely because she seemed too obviously best girl. you're right, that smug :3 is perfect.I like (some) tsunderes, and thought Akari had better backstory and moments than Shio, So I was more than fine with assuming her, but hoping for Runako.
The assertive female propaganda will continue until birthrates improve
>>287468706Pribooty olev.
>>287457266JC's should win more often
>>287468003This post is literally me except I want to add that I also liked Shio at first because she was also an aggressive little devil at first, but that disappeared quickly and she just became the big boobs girl
COUSIN ONEE-SAN SHOULD HAVE WON
Eiyuu is a lucky man.
Dumping
>>287471251>Loser cornerHow dirty they did the other girls. Did the anime bomb or something for this rushed mess?
>>287460204>>287460653if the series isn't ending with this more or less, then there's always bait and switch chance. that chapter 196 was one of the worst selection chapters in harem history, garbage. >>287461301wasn't really a fake-out but the reveal of who did what came out of the blue, typical of these haremslops. at least that one had more sequel chapters after.
>Love that came true and love that didn’t>Yet life goes on—
>>287471363>How dirty they did the other girls.I really fucking hate it.
>>287471389Yotsuba won again, huh.
I never expected the slut could ever be the winner.
>>287472062No sluts now, only JC
>>287472062>I never expected the slut could ever be the winner.But Shio lost
>>287457266Unfathomably based, I too wish to pamper this sexy brat.
>>287465673This is not toubun again because she’s actually a great choice for him
Akari's canonically hairless pussy
This is surreal, I don't believe it
The :3 is too strong.
>>287472312Only hairy JCs get to win
>super cute>super intelligent>ambitious>flirty>not ashamed>open and honest with her feelingsThe others never had a chance desu
>>287459836Man, the angry Akari fans got mass-deleted.
>Liking tsundere trashwhat is this? 2007?
Runa coming back from the Phillipine cock tour had to meant something, huh?
>>287457266I like her permanent :3
>>287472447She's my favorite girl, and yeah same. I don't quite believe it yet. I'll need to see next chapter to make sure there isn't a rug pull or some bullshit coming.
>>287457266I only watched the anime but I'm glad she won, didn't really liked anyone in the cast but she was by far the least bad
>>287459504>>287463971>>287465673>>287471504This is nothing like Shitsuba, that retard did everything in her power to lose to the point the losers had to force her to accept the win, Runako on the contrary actually tried to win the hardest
>>287471389Another bestgirl tsunslayer, just like Yotsubestuba.
>>287459836>>287472599I wonder how this will affect the sales of not only the final volume but the overseas release since they're so far behind.
>>287475157:3 too powerful
>>287477142not by muchit's not like yotsuba or nishino winning hurt sales at all
I-It's a dream! He'll wake up and choose Akari for sure!
>>287472541You forgot>good with kids>good at cookingThe author had the chips stacked in her favor, fr fr
>>287469242How was she so assured of her victory from the beginning? She might be the most smug girl I have ever seen that 100% deserves her smug.
>>2874784025toubun's movie did well too and it was just Yotsuba wank, I think people exaggerate how much hatred the average reader has for x girl "randomly" winning. As long as it's not a girl who sucked 10 dicks before the MC nobody really cares.There are far more infamous late-stage victories anyway, like Ichigo 100%.
can he afford runako's cleft lip surgery?
>>287479579>was just Yotsuba wanklmao, the movie had F spend more time with fucking Nini than with Yots
>>287471389akabros we were too confident... it's over...
>>287458569I'm animeonly and was retarded enough to think it was an original ending and that she actually won here. Nice to see best girl ACTUALLY pull through, but I'm still waiting for a rugpull
