She will be the focus of most of the next few chapters.

>>288055180
>>288055199done>>288055187he's done nothing egregious for a while now
>>288055218Appreciate the dump. Sakura feels like the main girl.
>new girl already
>>288055255It won't take many volumes until those empty rooms get filled.
>>288054788I read the first few chapters of this manga and then jumped to a random later chapter. The reason I did this was because I wanted to see whether the insufferable, smug, self-aware and ironic writing of this manga that has been in it since chapter 1 would continue on for the rest of the manga. It was a test on whether or not I could bear to continue reading.So I specifically landed on chapter 12 after doing an eeny, meeny, miny, moe.I got to pic related and I decided I had had enough of this manga and was not going to waste any more time with it (I was already on extremely thin ice with the self-aware "manga running" panel earlier, but pic related was what was the final nail in the coffin for my patience with this manga's writing).I get the feeling the hipster author of this manga is writing this manga out of contempt. Nothing about it feels sincere.Here is a character (Rinko) in a quiet moment of vulnerability, opening herself up and pouring her heart out. And the MC interrupts her by ordering gyoza. One could argue this is just a case of the MC being insensitive. But it just felt like the author was telling the reader not to take this shit seriously, since it signals that he could do shit like this as tonal whiplash whenever he feels like it (something that he has no trouble with in past chapters with all the aforementioned self-aware writing and genre awareness moments he peppers into the dialogue).That is all. I'm not here to poop on your fun if you actually enjoy reading this. I'm not gonna be a thread troll. I'm not going to convince you to not like it if you like it. I just wanted to say my piece. Thanks for reading my blogpost and TED talk.
>>288054788https://pocket.shonenmagazine.com/title/01334/episode/438177There's a new Goddess Cafe Terrace chapter if anyone wants it
>>288055218Two more girls to go
>>288055199>>288055218Don't know what this is but this girl is based for crying her way into relevancy.
I prefer this more light-hearted Seo work
>>288055218Thanks OP
What happened to hitman? did that manga finish?
>>288055570oh nice surprise. Thanks
>>288056314sure, just before Terrace started.No-one's translating it, though
>>288056429>No-one's translating it, thoughI figured, kinda sucks.
>he made a blog about how how he got ass fucked by seoooooo
I already like her more than the ninja. I feel like we're introducing new girls a little fast though, is the manga doing badly?
>>288055012I'm still slightly put-out by the time skip between this and GCT. I'm not sure why
>>288057249I expected it to do more with the starting girls first before filling the empty rooms. Maybe it's just filling in the rooms so it can have more chapters with all the girls, and not have some miss something important.
>>288055444This is really no different from Megami Cafe. Seo makes Romantic Comedies with an emphasis on the comedy part. The one time he got really dark was really just that one time.
>exposed navel but no titsI don't think I like it
>>288056076Women who cry and pout like little girls as adults are cute.
>>288054859I hope the aunt beats up one of the girls by the end
>>288058126Someone can swap the sign with a fake first so she first assumes it finally broke.
>>288054788in a rare time she isn't wearing a shirt that shows her mid rift the focus is on her ass.
>>288055218>he's done nothing egregious for a while noware you flaming?His last work is a "romcom" with no actual romance, he baited readers into an orgy just to sell the volume but didnt even deliver on that, it ended with a timeskip where he picked the popular option, not the organic one, he wrote jokes and then gave up on actually working on a substantial part of the story.Even had the couple say they didnt why they picked each other, with the MC just saying that simply because she was the first one to confess, there was no romance, no real dates.People who support it and or spread it are normalfags who just read popular shit and are poisoning Manga with their shit taste.
>>288055180She doesn't want her onee chan to hit girls!
>>288055444I find it funny how this the type of stories people who declare the superiority of Manga over western comics consume, when so many of them are filled with the same kind of "whedonism", super self-aware-ironic-dialogue.
>>288058556they are? I thought it wasn't that common
>>288058576>The author's previous work1/?
>>288058502The denial of nipples for so many volumes and missing one large bath scene when they returned was a problem.
>>288058576Oshi No ko doing something similar to >>288055444and this is just the first chapter.
>>288058708Medaka Box, (and by extension the other Mangaka's works like Monogatari)3/?
>>288058727>smoking with you behind the supermarket>can't even have a tender normal moment without the MC having a panic attack because she touched his hands.> “Make it dark, make it grim, make it tough, but then, for the love of God, tell a joke.” - Joss Whedon
>>288058794>Hajimete no Gal >after 200 chapters, 10 years, for a couple that has been together since the beginning, that had devolved into an harem somehow for a time, introduced stupid super natural elements>they finally go to a love hotel to have sex>suddenly, out of nowhere, monkeys5/?
>>288058794Joss Whedon created a generation of horrible writers
>>288055098>>288055140BOOOWWWWAAAAAA
>>288058727this scene really doesn't feel like some sort of ironic, detached bit of self-aware humour, just a character with an odd sort-of meta obsession>>288058794and this one feels more like an exaggerated depiction of the guy's feelingsBut anyway, >I find it funny how this the type of stories people who declare the superiority of Manga over western comics consume, when so many of them are filled with the same kind of "whedonism", super self-aware-ironic-dialogueIs this really much of a thing? I thought the Whedonism was more of a Marvel movie thing than something really prevalent in the comics, though I am a little out of the loop.And is it actually why people say they prefer manga to American comics? I've mostly seen people say it for different reasons
>>288057820Well, this is my first experience reading anything by this author. And if you're right that the author has always been like this, then his works are ones going to avoid in the future in case I'm looking for something new to read. Everything about his writing that I've seen in Umine the Island Inn reeks of the author's insecurity about what he's doing. >>288058556>I find it funny how this the type of stories people who declare the superiority of Manga over western comics consumeThere is nothing inherent in the medium of manga that prevents smug, ironic, 4th wall breaking, trope-savvy hipsters from writing within the medium of manga. It's a medium, not a specific artistic movement committed to specific artistic ideals.
>>288058727Nisio is not ironic in any way whatseover.
>>288059078Madoka is chockful of meta obsession, it reminds me of "ready player one".I am upset how these are the sort of stories that reach the mainstream and the surface, since Medaka box is a series over 200 chapters long featured in one of the biggest Manga magazine Jump.Oshi No ko, again pretty damn big.I am sorry if I come off as saying/implying that the biggest reason people read Manga is to get away from Western comics, I am just tired of how irony poisoned the world has become, too often Mangaka seem to think that lampshading means they can be excused for indulging in very boring tropes.
>I'm not here to make a blog out of my insatisfaction with the garbage that is romcom nowadays>proceeds to make a blog out of itDon't worry, i'm not excusing developments like in Hajimete no Gal (that particular case was truly infurating) but honestly, while it's debatable that manga got worse with time, major truth is just that you grew up and started to notice the ever-repeating cliches around in manga in general, particularly in romcomSo if you don't like it just fuck off, but you're really not saying anything new, just venting like a sperg
>>288059242>So if you don't like it just fuck off, but you're really not saying anything new, just venting like a spergThis is stupid anon, do you also complain when people call out terrible practices in games like what pay2win or gacha do to keep you connected? If is not anything new then why do you keep indulging trash instead of reading and talking about Manga worth reading?
>>288059129Which definition of "ironic" do you normally use? So I can maybe understand why you dont' consider him being ironic.
>>288057249it's actually had the best 1st week sales for its first volume in the magazine since I think Yaergnacht
>>288059129>>288059314While waiting to hear your answer (although I might be in bed by then because is late here)let me be a bit more precise.I strongly dislike the over-use of post-modernism in his writing, I find it self-serving, it tries to be witty to the delight mostly of his writer rather than the audience, is overly referential, and all those references with Manga protagonist talking about being protagonist are not novel, fresh, interesting, or funny, they are trite and lack sincerity, it feels like the writer is afraid of committing to something in which he believes, it feels overly cynic.See also this image, the author created this situation out of a story that started with trying to fix school's problems and a protagonist who got outsted by someone who was out to fix people, but it just ended up creating a battleground. This situation was acknowledge but not fixed, the protagonists ended up separating for a decade giving more importance to work rather than human connections.
>>288054801>Tall>Fit>Slim>FlatShe's perfect.>>288058836>Every other MC in his other works has had sex with her girl>Keeps doing h works on a side note>On his most popular work, he cockblocked the MC in the 200th chapterThe author must have been laughing as a maniac at the reception.
>>288059746a joke at the expense of the audience....that's how I felt when I played "the good life".
>>288054820She's his rival from the Tsuruga school isn't she?
>>288054788More nipples when?
2 new girls he's met before and who had reasons to fight him in some way. There's a good chance at least one more of those open rooms will also be someone he's met before.
>>288054974friend's dojo, close enough
>>288055199>>288055218Most mature character written by Seo
>>288055012Sachiko(or her descendant) cameo
>>288058670>literally shoving her bare ass and pussy in his faceI need this kind of puta behavior in the new series now
>>288060134What if it happens, and he can't see anything because of too much steam?
>fags did not SEO when he did trainwreck drama>still complains when he starts doing self referential comedyyou fucks wont be satisfied I guess.
>>288060525I suspect that's 2 separate groups
>>288055570I love Shiragiku
>>288060212the girl doing it is the exciting part
>>288058502eh, I always read GCT for the shenanigans rather any kind of serious romance, so I was never invested in who he ended up with.> he baited readers into an orgy just to sell the volume but didnt even deliver on that,I don't think that was ever meant to be anything other than a joke.And really, what do normalfags have to do with anything?
>>288055570
>>288061649
>>288055040We can probably now calculate how many years after Cafe it plays
>>288061665
>>288061686
>>288061671It could take all these obvious references and make them all wrong, putting it in a different setting with just extremely similar names.
>>288061704
>>288061723last
>>288061704I would ask if the mole coming out of the hole is supposed to be symbolic of inverted nipples, but we saw kiku's nipples before and they were normal.
>>288061649thanks
>>288059078Whedonism is more about the incessant quips and the characters constantly making le ironic jokes about the situation at hand while pretending they care about it and is very serious and emotional, it's about how the entire cast acts like they find the story dumb amd can't help but to make fun of it
>>288057820I remember Kimi no Iru Machi getting drama heavy later on but it's been a long time since I read it, so maybe it's just exaggerated in my mind now. Suzuka has the teenage pregnancy portion. Fuuka is self explanatory. Fuuka is the only one that's dark but I'd say drama was still kind of his thing, so Cafe Terrace being mostly melodrama free outside of the Fuwa stuff was pretty out of the ordinary.
>>288054801God I love sleeveless clothes and armpit peeks.
>>288062502I think Kimi Machi and Suzuka both had a fair bit of drama throughout.I'm inclined to think Seo just got less drama heavy as time went on, with Fuuka having that one obvious spike early on before turning fairly tame, and Hitman being pretty benign
>>287773534 Does anyone have the others? I can't find the others anywhere.
>>288059893Especially Ami's nipples!
>>288058502>, it ended with a timeskip where he picked the popular option, not the organic oneAkane was both the popular AND organic choice. Retards like you would have claimed the same garbage if any girl other than the one you liked had won.
girl with 100cm bust when
>>288058556>I find it funny how this the type of stories people who declare the superiority of Manga over western comicsNo? What in the actual fuck are you talking about you /co/mbler tourist? People who do that (and I can't emphasize enough how over the last few years western comics are such a complete non entity in the mainstream discourse that there's barely a need for those comparisons in he first place) would point out stuff like Kokou no Hito, the Kirara mag 4koma Iyashikei types or Gon, stuff that can exist and thrive in Japan but hardly in any western country with a comics history (except maybe France or Belgium) because the Japanese manga market is primarily driven by demand and allows for them without it being labeled as niche or underground.
>>288054974Rei reference~!
>>288054788I didn't even know Seo made another manga. How is so far?
>>288061671hey! It's the MC
>>288061704was she thinking he was jacking off?
>>288058794If a middle-aged working adult acts like this when a girl holds his hand, he deserves all the misery in his life.
>>288054801Sex.
>>288055140kek
so was the treasure hunt a side plot all along? and each girl has her own quest MC has to do?
oh i get it, kazuma is actually one punch man
https://mangadex.org/chapter/f28df18b-bc96-40c5-bcbd-8b4a4071fe67 someone scanlated terrace short chapter already
>>288062891Half and half was also a bit dark.>>288062891Fuuka still had some dramatic moments later on, but other than the truck, it was a bit goofier with more frivolous characters than his previous works. I think his newer works are better if you're familiar with his previous works and know he played the drama straight for well over a decade.It's similar to early Terrace so far.
>>288064599harem ending would have been more popular
>>288061740Isn't that boob attack a technique originating from the Invincible Fist of the Tsuruga school?
Rei is so much cuter than Ami.
>>288054801Absolute SEXO
>>288061740Thanks for the dump, I wish Kiku would do that to me
>>288066798And more sexy too.
>>288055444hm, i recall people complaining every chapter when terrace cafe was still going repeating exactly what you said, even going so far as to telling people to stop readingi dunno man, if you're into this you're only coming along for the weekly get-together. when seo repeated the same truck-kun joke like 4 times i think we all knew that
>>288058836You are disingenuous, the MC getting blue balled always was the manga's one joke. Also in no way it is out of nowhere, the monkeys fucked with him earlier in the arc. reminder the manga is on hiatus until September since the author is on paternity leave
>>288068803>Also in no way it is out of nowhereHow could they possibly get inside that room? And without anyone noticing? And without them noticing at any part of the coitus?And don't try saying that since they had ghosts this sort of bullshit is ok.>the author is on paternity leaveThat guy does not deserve to have kids or a wife.
>>288055098Amusing to see a "what's up with how this kid looks in a flashback" gag coming up here too. Was probably the best joke in Class 2-B Hero Destroyerz so far.
>>288059727I just can't agree, but I'm not in a good space to meet your level of mental effort here, so apologies for that.For me, Medaka Box, and its referential nature in general, is less self satisfied and more the author looking up and nodding at you when something happens, in the expectation that you are nodding at him as well. It's about the author and the audience being in it together and sharing a moment in which their minds are in sync.It also has one of my favorite enters that has nothing to do with being meta or post-modern.
>>288062452You know, you put that pretty well
>>288069158It's a comedy manga none of it matters as long as it ends with a funny joke.>And don't try saying that since they had ghosts this sort of bullshit is ok.I'm wary of this because romcoms tend to go completely off the rails once supernatural stuff gets introduced.
>>288069795
>>288069803
>>288069846
>>288069846Just because they might change is no reason to leave the numbers out.
>>288069855I think it's just what Seo does with younger characters.He did it with Rin in Kimi Machi
>>288061723>he was watching his wife's performDaaw.
>>288055444Kazuma interrupts her because he thinks from the start what Rinko's saying is nonsensical. He firmly believes in something Rinko is unable to believe. That's why he's not moved. It's why I like the Rinko and Kazuma dynamic because Rinko resents him because she wants to be like him, but thinks it's stupid. She still holds herself back from being herself because of her upbringing, and then some carefree guy appears acting in a way she wants showing her how easy it is. She can be mean and make fun of him because she's still too scared to change.
>>288069803>>288069852I'd say Yuna or Iori are my favourites so far, but it's still a pretty weak preference. Though I might take a while til I start really liking anyone, I did that with GCT after all
>>288055218I wonder if she'll ever get trained up to Kazuma's level?
>>288063408>but they're hidden in the BDI'm the one who posted that picture in discord. Your biggest problem is that there's actually 5 different versions of the BD, each with only one girl's measurements. I happen to own the version with Hekiru. But to find the other girls you're going to have to find 4 other people who each own a different version
>>288069350If that is true then the japanese deserve to be crushed by corporations, because for a story about rebels the ending is pure conformism.I'll just quote an anon who quoted me.>pic related
>>288070459Lame
>>288075464>anon naver had a gf who supported his passionYou're lame.
>>288075637Neither did Hayato. His only passion was buying coffee filters and being a hack detective. I would go "aww" if he did something more creative than watch a recording of her.
>>288076064>I would go "aww" if he did something more creative than watch a recording of her.Remember when he tried acting as a producer for her and the others?
