>>288216676 Previous thread (Ch. 117-122)Two chapters and a bonus chapter remain for this volume. Continuing with chapter 123!
Chapter 123 - "...Hey, Senpai..."
>>288320891Holy shit, Misaki controls the 1,000 noodle technique...
Gamo fighto!!
>>288320974>>288320991Fighting for the position of best wingwoman
What the hell Senpai?! What did he mean by that? To be continued in tomorrow's chapter which is the last for the volume, so a bonus chapter will be included right after. See you there!
>>288321066>local bully not so bully after receiving tough love Cinema.
>>288321029Chadpai
>>288321066Thanks OP.Senpai is being kind of acoustic, but I do get where he's coming from.
>>288321066Senpai’s dubs of confidence checked.
>>288320927whoa!
>>288321066mysteryous senpai reaction. now i'm all doki doki for what will happen tomorrow. thanks op.
>>288321029If this ever gets animated, it has the potential to be the best “HAH??” in all of anime. On par with Subaru’s from GBC.
>>288321117>>288321129
>>288321319Why it isn't moving?
>>288321352
>>288321352out of fear. maybe.
Ah, the great Rapetoro blueballingIt was disappointing to see unfold in real time, but in hindsight entirely on brand for 774
>>288321029Hits her back with the>I need a yes or no answer!Damn Senpai I didn't know you got moves like that
>>288321518Senpai’s turn to bully the bully
Naga nails
>>288321066I think any girl that isn't as acoustic as Nagatoro would start the sexuality accusations here.
>>288320927She's so in love with her senpai bros it's unreal.>>288321066Thanks OP, this is a nice chapter, has eyecandy, laughs, tension, and good character morals. Nanashi was gunning here.
>>288321066I prefer this line to the "You're my enemy" version.Also I can post this one now.
>>288321874It's not a different version, what you refer to is happening tomorrow
>>288321902Please understand, I'm retarded.
>>288321915
>>288321020>>288321029>seconds away from kissing and onsen sex>asks retarded questions instead Could have at least waited until after they finished having each other's first times, what an idiot.
>>288320915>did you blow your little loaddamn, right into the SPH already
>>288322446Would give her my ax
>>288322705And my bow
>>288321874Niggatoro is going to get sent to horny jail if this behaviour continues. Unacceptable.
>>288322053Personal growth is more important than fleeting pleasure.
>>288322786And my benis
>>288322892Making love with your soulmate is bigger character growth than whether she plays Japanese wrestling seriously again.
>>288323622Teenage dumbassery is in play. Logic is out of commission.
>>288323546:DDDDDDD
>>288323622>>288324409Naoto is a sexual coward but he is also a principled young man who does not want to see the girl he loves give up on her goals. Simple as.
>>288320915Senpai's steam-curdled nut floating on the water like poached egg whites.
>>288323622japanese wrestling is serious business
I understand Naoto being unwilling to fuck her, tanlines are gross.
>>288322053it's that the editor-san warned Nanashi twice that no sex (I imagine the kiss too).
>>288325265>asking her to come in her swimsuit>when she would definately walk to the art room fully nude if asked politely
>>288321066not today cock
>>288321066>she's literally ovulating for you right now>"no way fag" her
>>288325209I am sorry for your terminal homosexuality.
>>288322446
>>288322053If the kiss couldn't happen, it shouldn't have been mentioned at all yet. It just interfered with other possibilities.
>>288320907That anetoro side eye is devious
>>288329013
>>288328437they're... bunnies? is this the bunny bunny dance?
>>288320907>>288329013>>288329346she wants to watch her little sister get mating pressed so badly
>>288329724How could she without interrupting?
>>288321066I don't mind how things ended up going here but I often think about how the manga really could've set itself apart from other romcom's, if after making the promise and establishing this obstacle that they need to get past before they can commit to a relationship due to their lack of confidence, they got caught up in their carnal desires and kissed, had sex (optional) and established their relationship right here.Their characters have developed so much, both of them, especially Naoto should have enough confidence to not need to rely on something silly such as getting to the top of the mock exam.Would've been subversive and surprising in a good way I think.
>>288330322I think this is very fair criticism. It would have caused some backlash for sure, but all bold moves in storytelling do. However I can't blame 774 choosing not to go there in his first ever serialization. Whether it was his choice or not, I think it's also fair to assume didn't want to take any unnecessary risks on his first go. But yeah, it could have set the story apart from many others. Just a very tough call to make.
>>288330322Getting at least a kiss then instead of giving an excuse to wait, when another kiss after winning could still happen. Before it was a goal, now it's just artificially in the way. If something was going to stop them from going beyond that, it could be another person showing up.
>>288330322>>288331157Yes, I was expecting Warm Whirlpool but tamer, kiss but no sex, "premature" kiss to continue the sex analogies like with the nude sketchingIf one or the other or both gave in and kissed, that would have thrown a wrench into all their tournament promise shit, say he even accidentally comes in the water and the post nut clarity makes him or them hit the brakes for nowThen he shakily says it doesn't count, she has to win for them to kiss for real etc, but both know it's all arbitrary at this point.
>>288332898If he considered it a problem they first kissed early, she could have substituted something further for a promise. Maybe leave it unsaid exactly what's being offered.
>>288320915the speed blur on the noodletoro made me kek
>>288320967h-hot
>>288321029in my experience repeating a line that a woman just used on you is a great way to make her really angry
Humiliating her while she's naked is pretty bad tho and would be the end of any relationship.
Delicious brown.How are you folks doing on this lovely evening?
this makes me feel like i missed out on my own school life, but i remind myself irl nagatoro would have randomly gotten bored and ended the relationship
>>288333482It's a cool and calm evening, can't complain.
>>288323622>Making love with your soulmate is bigger character growth than whether she plays Japanese wrestling seriously again.Your soulmate will still be your soulmate after she loses or wins regardless. Senpai is a chad, sorry chud.
how i would have written this chapter (and i guess the next one as well) would be like>naga and nao go in for a smooch in >interrupted by someone (no one in particular)>snap out of the horny and decide to follow though with the original plan so as to make the kiss that much sweeter idk does this make sense or am i restarted
>>288320951>>288320958>>288320967>>288320974>>288320991Gamo is the realest friend ever, holy shit.
yes
>>288336177getting interrupted by an outside party would just be dumb luck and shitty writing. While Naoto's not acting like how a horny teenager actually would in his position, him directly preventing her from kissing him because he doesn't want her giving up on her goals again was a much better way to go imo.
>>288337333>shitty writingyeah that would be inexcusable in the series that didn't use the gun on the wall because it got axed too quickly
wat
>>288337333An interruption would be better after a kiss or just not have the kiss brought up at all. Let something else happen, then either it gets to be too much so one decides to get out or someone finally starts arriving so they have to escape together before being caught.
Somehow not dating yet
>>288334960>Your soulmate will still be your soulmate after she loses or wins regardlessIf you reject someone when they're literally naked and in heat right next to you, it doesn't matter if they're your soulmate or not. They'll leave you, and rightfully so.
>>288337333>shitty writingPulling a Mysterious Girlfriend X on a naked and ready Nagatoro and not getting your ass kicked out is even shittier writing.
>>288339832If you can't see the obvious difference between the two scenarios, I am reluctant to spoonfeed it to you.
>>288339907>no argument
>>288339923>after explicitly saying I won't argue with youHey, at least you got that one right. Good job anon.
>>288339942I accept your concession.
>>288339953
>>288328437
Sad dead general...
Happy alive specific...
>>288339813This is coomer logic. He didn't "reject" her, he stopped her from doing the exact thing she was about to regret using as an escape button. If anything that's the one time a romcom MC not thinking with his dick actually makes sense.
Chapter 124 - "I accept your challenge!!"
smol
>>288340647>>288340655adorkabe two pages right here.
That is chapter 124! What did you think of the mixed bath conclusion?Will be posting the bonus chapter in a minute, Can you guess which character it is about...?
>>288340659>>288340693Neil Young's Harvest Moon is going very well with this chapter.>>288340751Ty OP, it's nice the eldertoros didn't end up interfereing, that was the obvious setup.
Roller coaster of emotion
Bonus - "Liberate your heart and mind...!!"That's right, another Shikki bonus.
>>288340579wtf is this an edit or senpai gone insane
>>288340579!!!
>>288340802Shikki is____
>>288340802>>288340813>cute>dumb>embarrassedthis is triggering both my ENF and bimbo fetishes>>288340814love, life
And that is the end for volume 16! However the training camp itself is not yet over, and we will continue it tomorrow with volume 17. See you there!
>>288340647>>288340655senpai this is so lame...
>>288340732holy cool maiden
>>288340751>What did you think of the mixed bath conclusion?it was quite dumb and unromantic.
>>288340802a BIG maniac.
Shiki exhibitionist adventure full series when?
>>288340751>tomboy rivalry>pre-confession confession in a manga all about teasingsasuga nanashi
>>288340827kek. thanks op.
>>288340732She is SO cool
>>288340693You can tell she is thinking the same thing.
>>288340827>you've got it all wrong
>>288321066
>>288332976Virginity of course
>>288321066And he gave this answer while his cock was diamond, this guy is really a chad
NAGATORO HAYASE IS A PRECIOUS TREASURE!! A GODDESS SENT DOWN FROM THE HEAVENS ABOVE!! A BEAUTIFUL MAIDEN IN LOVE!!
>>288342454smol gremlin full of love
>>288342454Dassa cute maiden
>>288340827Thanks OP. Very cute chapter.
>>288320815Very punchable belly.
>>288343358Please don't punch the home of my future children.
>>288344008Oh god, that is terrible and excellent.
>>288340802>+70kg of BEST GIRL >>288340813Also would it be possible for someone with half decent editing skills to insert the English dialog here into this edit
>>288344008>Sunomiya as Ed yelling "DEMONS!"Senpai is obviously Edd, and Sakura is Nazz?
>>288339832The difference is that here there's an actual plot related reason that's kinda the point of the whole arc (Nagatoro doubting herself and breaking her usual confident persona) while in MGX it was just an absolutely retarded way to end a manga after years of blueballing.
>>288340591>>288340597Aww, she's so vulnerable.
>>288340659>>288340655>>288340647I don't get it, is he going to confess his everlasting enmity towards his rival?
>>288345405Next chapter they’re fistfighting and he kills her by accident! Senpai does not know his own strength
>>288340702You can tell he was too distracted to notice what he could see before, because from that angle he's not getting as much as she just showed him.
>>288344008eh, i can see it.
>>288344774>774
This is about the point where the story makes me mad more than anything
>>288346329How come?
>>288347179cute!
>>288346561I can't elaborate, maybe as i see more chapters and remember how i ended up disliking the series. But it has to do with this. I don't like this side of her, i'm tired of their romance not really moving forward even when shes nippel tickling him.
>>288340584>>288340591Senpai was literally one more dumbass remark away from losing her forever here.Even in an unrealistic scenario like this, you can tell Nagatoro was about to just fucking shatter into a million pieces if he said something else like that.It kinda would have been poetic considering how she treated him in the beginning but also a bit edgy on Nanashi's part.There were so many other ways to go about this scene but its whatever.
>>288340579???????????
>>288340608god fucking damnit senpai
>>288340751gamo's still a real trooper for not letting the ani from interferingtho i wonder what's the ane doing all that time, watching them sparring? ani coulda just send ane over there
>>288340819>all the nagantagonist ends up exhibitionistbless
>>288340827the doujin really writes itselfthanks op
>>288340786>>288340793>>288340802>>288340807>>288340813>>288340819>>288340827God Bless Nanashi for giving us these
>>288342308>out
>>288353765>bony
>>288353882
>>288353882That's not Gamo
>>288341206Imagine leaving a girl naked and horny with no outlet for her lust. This is why cuckoldery is a thing.
>>288347893I think this arc is among my least favourites, but it doesn't make me hate the whole manga lmao. Bit dramatic. It picks up again pretty soon
>>288321020>>288321029
>>288355108This short of shit happens more
>>288320927She's insane.
>>288340579Negative rizz
>>288321020He is truly autistic.
>>288340608Senpai holy shit you nearly destroyed her.
>>288345811That's a win for Purgatoro!
>>288340827
>>288358249she likes them spicy
>>288359418Gamo would 100% use the fact that after working out at her gym, that art nerd got a hot gyaru girlfriend to go around drumming up business from the boys in her class
Happy alive general
Today we're starting volume 17, still in the middle of training camp! Let's begin.
Chapter 125 - "You really do take me by surprise, Senpai"
>>288360030The smuggest of Senpais
>>288360113Her ear is very cavernous in this panel
>>288360030creepy~
And that's chapter 125. Nagatoro awakened another dormant skill with the help of Senpai!See you tomorrow for chapter 126.
>>288360042>>288360049>not a couple btw>>288360158Thanks OP! Another very cute chapter.
>>288360158lol this is easily the creepiest thing Senpai’s ever said
Thank you OP!
>>288360183>”she sucked her off like a cock !!”
>>288360074>>288360081kek
>>288360158thanks op. i cant believe bee yourself is the strongest judo move.
>>288359963>deny her impulsive urges and remain convicted to your principles, thus building yourself up as this forbidden fruit she needs to work for>once goals have been met, simply inserting will make her squirt like a firehoseDamn Senpai, I wasn't familiar with your game.
>>288359963Maiden in love btw obviously.>>288359984Gamo is also a maiden in love.
>>288360287Others will complain that this messes with the pacing, but because of senpai’s efforts she will be pumping out his pre-tanned babies as if it was her job after they move in together in Tokyo for university
>>288360049d'aww>>288360150YOU ARE IN LOVE
>>288360030>>288360035...why qi pao
silly non-glasses-wearing dorks in love
>>288360138>>288360143the way of the kunekunethe kunee way
>>288360158thanks op
>>288360549he's rubbing on her ain't he
>>288360543she tried to seduce senpai.
>>288360268Sometimes the best solution is to realize you're over thinking the problem.
>>288360138>>288360143Can't beat the noodle
>>288360549I wonder if Naga notices all the mannerisms she picked uo from Senpai
>>288359974BSC is the best performance enhancer
>>288360543people have been ogling her tits too much, and not appreciating her ass, so she's wearing something to show it off
>>288340584>>288340591MAIDEN IN DESPAIR
>>288340615Who would actually win in their penguin battle?
>>288362554Definitely Nagatoro. If she wasn't a future olympic judoka, she'd have been an arctic zoologist for sure.
>>288362969I thought you were going to write: If she wasn't a future Olympic judoka, she'd have been an arctic penguin.
>>288363218There are no penguins in the arctic, only in Antarctica! A real penguin enthusiast would know that.
>>288363363The real Arctic penguins are long dead. The Antarctic penguins are doppelgängers.
>>288363363penguin hands typed this.
>>288363555Trips of truth
>>288363555This get was checked by real Antarctic penguin patriots
Sorry for the sudden question but I've been out of the loopHas 774 been working on anything recently? Or is he just taking it easy for now?
>>288363807End of 2025 he hired an assistant for a new project. No further information about it yet.
>>288363832AwesomeI hope it's another mushy romcom but if he wants to get more into action that'd be cool too
