>>288391054
He was a guy and liked a girl who dind't liked him.
>>
>>288388186
She dated him because of a bunch of factors, including her parents getting divorced, having no friends but Miki, and Miki encouraging her. Basically, she just wanted to be with somebody who actually liked her, but never liked him at all. Their relationship was trash and Igarashi was an asshole who didn't care about her feelings much anyway.

Igarashi is selfish and a jerk. They were both wrong in the relationship and this will get touched on later when they reconcile.

>>288401619
>why did she make it original in a way that makes the protagonist more three dimensional by making her a bad person
She did not. She was writing it the way that clearly showed that Igarashi was a nasty guy since episode 1. But then she goes
>eh, actually let me reframe this whole thing as if Koyuki was the nasty one
It doesn't make her "more complex", it's literally just a U-turn.
>>
>>288396703
Why is this a webcomic and not a regular manga? Was it originally self-published or something
>>
>>288401685
That is Koyuki's perspective on her own actions. Koyuki, who has consistently been shown to carry a lot of self-loathing. This episode showed that she feels she did wrong by Igarashi, that doesn't mean the writer is necessarily framing her as actually being the nasty one. She dated Igarashi for a multitude of different reasons that were all equally true (wanting a sense of purpose that she lost from her parents' divorce, wanting unconditional love that she doesn't get from her dad anymore, wanting to get back at Atagawa, not knowing how to get Igarashi to back off and thinking maybe she can just learn to love him back instead), but it also doesn't change that Igarashi was an oblivious dumbass who couldn't see how unpleasant he was being to Koyuki and insisted on invading her personal space. Igarashi is exactly the kind of person you idiots thought Minato was at first, honestly he's even worse than that because even now he doesn't understand what he did wrong and only thought they broke up because of their last fight

Some people don't take no for an answer and can only understand that it's not gonna work out by being in a bad relationship.

Well, that point is, all previous episodes were framing it as if she's traumatized by his actions, and it was consistent with him being shown as a bully, a nasty rude guy. But now it turns out that it's "uwu I was actually traumatized by treating him badly and saying I hate him"
>>
It's funny how this series is about literal megachads and megastacies and their rich social and dating lives but the way it's framed and written they come off as sympathetic relatable characters

No character in this is on the "everyday guy/girl" level of Tani or Nishi, maybe even Taira
>>
We're a handful of episodes from Koyun turning into a moeblob akin to the polar opposites girls, bros...
It's too bad there might not be a second cour because most of the cute/good stuff happens around when the anime will end.
>>
>>288402309
They are acting like normal teenagers. The difference between this and Sahantai is this one is for girls and the other one is for boys.
Do you think that everyday high school students don't date a bunch of people until they find their real high school romance? It's completely normal, and the characters being relatable is a reason why people like it.
I understand that as a dude you might have issues connecting with the male characters, since Yota is too nice and Minato acts like a girl, but Koyun/Miki have a lot of qualities teenage girls can relate to. Minato is also a lot more normal than he seems at first which is a big part of his character, even this very episode Koyun admits she judged him for no real reason. It's because he resembles Igarashi if he wasn't a cunt.

>>288402466
Yeah the acting like normal teenagers part is what makes them relatable but they're literally
>gigastacy homecoming queen social butterfly that guys from other classes come to gawk at
>tallest guy in school and presumably very successful athlete
>ikemen playboy who's dated dozens of girls (not normal teenager behavior), social butterfly with tons of friends in other classes and generations and schools, and also an athlete
>reserved girl that is still pretty enough to be an attention magnet in both middle school and high school, hangs out with the three described above
They're *the* elite social circle of their school generation, which is an exclusive club and not something most people have experienced, but it's not obvious from the presentation

I'm not even complaining, just pointing it out since it just dawned on me

>>288402297
Even before it wasn't really framed as her being traumatized by him, the trauma is more from the bullying by the girls. Whenever Igarashi was brought up, it was more about her finding it unpleasant to be around him, not being able to get away from him because he wouldn't take a hint, and him being around her fed the teasing and actively contributed to Atagawa's dislike for her. She's not "traumatized by treating him badly," it's just an explanation for the self-loathing she's already shown before

Right now, i genuinely believe this is a WAY better show than polar opposites was (i already read the entire manga for polar opp).
I really like the ensemble cast right now but I fear the show is gonna start sucking after more side characters enters. I love them in small doses like igarashi, the librarian and minato's friends.
I'm also starting to warm up to minato but i still favor the other 3 far more than him. The keys thing still bothers me but the camaraderie in this friend group is doing the heavy lifting for me to slowly shift to the other side. I do feel like the show REALLY wants you to like him though i'm glad they didn't go FULL FORCE by giving him a lucky accident during the cockroach scene.

Same. And I think most people on /a/ would agree. I think Polar just has a broader appeal.
But I still like both. I'm curious what the mangaka is working next. Both of her works getting adaptations in the same year seems like a setup for something

>>288409634
For me right now as an anime-only, Tairazuma and the general situations such as summer festivals and schooltrips in PO are better, but the "everyday episode" stuff in Ramparts is better, PO sometimes gets stuck on a slow Nishi or Suzuki segment whereas Ramparts always has something interesting going on
>>
>>288409634
I tried watching Polar Opposites but the main girl was ugly and I dropped it after 2 episodes. It just didn't click with me
>>
>>288408710
I've never been into reiwa style romance manga. I think it's extremely overrated just because people are burned by draggy romance like nisekoi or kanokari.
I think slow burn romance are fine as long as the relationship doesnt spin in circles.
Reiwas skips way too many steps in a relationship that it comes off unaturally at times.
Romance aside. I also think some dramas are good for SOL. And unfortunately, there's none in polar opposites.
Joseki is somewhat funnier too.
>>
>>288409698
I probably would have checked out of Polar Opposites if Tairazuma didn't get going when it did, Tani/Suzuki got boring at times all the way until the end, and Nishi is cute and al but Yamada/Nishi wasn't a particularly compelling couple
>>
>>288401602
Your lack of normal social interaction is showing.
>>
>>288409782
Same. Tairazuma did the heavy lifting for polar opposites. I think the main couple is stale, and their interactions are uninsteresting.
While the yamada and nishi only got better near the end and by then the manga was already ending.
Overall, i think quiet partner suck and this show has 2.
>>
>>288409873
Tairazuma was just dysfunctional enough to be both fun and dramatic. With the two other couples, what you see is pretty much exactly what you get, which is fine enough for Nishi and Yamada because they're still in the phase of getting together and that already lends itself to some classic story beats, but Tani and Suzuki are already together and there's no spice at all in their budding relationship so they just came off dull
>>
>>288401685
I mean even before the twist, igarashi just comes off no more than a rude dude.
Nothing koyun implied made it seem like he's a huge asshole. Especially since he likes a smol girl like koyun in the first place.
>>
>>288410039
A lot of this thread is people projecting their experiences upon Koyuki and then getting pissed when it doesn't line up with what is actually happening when they get more info, it was also happening with Minato
>>
>>288409698
anime only as well. yeah Polar has higher highs but lower lows, Ramparts is more of a steady constant. And Ramparts is a bit more introspective, which I do appreciate. I actually like the Minato/Yota/Miki specific eps a lot, we get to see in their heads.
>>288409726
Pink Golbat grows on you as she becomes less of the central focus. Plus Taira starts goslinging everywhere starting the 3rd ep (I think). I'd say give it another try

Polar Opposites almost feels like a commentary for the people who dislike will-they-won't-they by demonstrating the alternatives

>>288391027
Justice for Igarashi! He was selfish and immature but Koyun was his waifu for laifu.

>>288391168
No this was the intention. The author does a lot of half-presented memory shots at the start to make you have a certain perspective then gives you the full picture to learn more about the true intentions of characters. Kind of like at the start of the series you see snippets of blood and Koyun fighting with Atagawa in middle school when what really happened was Miki being clumsy when trying to confront her over bullying her. It's an overall theme for the series with the "misunderstandings" but that's how it goes when you're a teenager. Things click to show why people are the way they are.

>>288391460
He had lent manga/was borrowing manga from a friend and his friend only had that bag to give the books in. He was just embarrassed.

>>288404618
Didn't Igarashi make Koyuki cry and get upset almost everyday? I think she was traumatized by the whole thing.. in the sense of how all the guys constantly teased her, expected her to put out, made fun of her insecurities etc. Part of the I hate all men vibe at the start of the series.
>>
>>288398537
The way I interpreted it is that she is not the villain but she knows she hurt him and that's why she wants to avoid him/avoid talking about him. She feels really guilty for purposely hurting him just to end their relationship. Sounds from what others said that he constantly ignored her wishes and feelings until she snapped.

People prefer couples with chemistry over couples with no chemistry, simple as. It's not about established couple vs slow burn; nothing about Tani + Suzuki was even remotely fun, and the second couple was even worse because Suzuki was at least funny on her own.

the show has been doing that nonstop since the start anon. first with Minato and now with Igarashi, and since all of the narrative is caked in Koyun's self loathing it'll probably culminate in showing how she wasn't "the bad guy" either in the end.

Pretty sure Azuma is the only one who had sex with past boyfriends. Specially since she immediately assumes that's what Miyu was asking about when referring to their "first time" before realizing her friend is pure.

Yamada might have, since he seriously dated girls before. Miyu, Koyun, Miki's all past relationships were fake or barely a relationship. Minato never liked any girl he dated and he even purposely doesn't kiss them or make a move himself.
