Chapter 122: https://cubari.moe/read/imgur/EEjCudz/1/1/Other series updates: https://mega.nz/folder/QWdCGIgC#_nr--LQC2U2QNcG5StQksw
Even Shinobu could never reach this level of mental disorder, I'm switching girls
It's amazing how each new chapter manages to be worse than the last one
Holy shit she's tiny
>>289036103Looks like that guy was right. Nene doesn't love Bucky.
>>289035979>>289036004>>289036019>>289036040>>289036060>>289036080I love Nene, but I refuse to believe she's that media literate.
>>289036112Arisu will reject this bitch and she will still continue to say that she hates him.
>>289036080I'm glad she called it out because Nene's doing a piss poor job convincing anyone he's not her boyfriend with that top left panel.
Today is Iko's birthday!Say something nice about her!
>>289035755You may not like it but this is what a pure couple looks like.
>>289035851Queenobu is the best menhera heroine we've had in years
>>289036154Iko is number one.
I AM MADLY IN LOVE WITH IKO....!!!!!!!!!!
IkoSEX!
PEAK FUCKING NENE CHAPTER.
>>289035979>>289036004>>289036019Nene once again uses her water bending, to destroy annoying little gremlin.
>>289036125Nene is the only one who loves Lilycos just like Apollo
>>289036154IKUTE!!
>>289035779Arisu denied it so quickly, Nene doesn't stand a chance lmao
>>289036019I love Nene so much bros.
>Nene: owns a pro>Rikka: gets owned by a proI rest my case.
>>289036310>>289036357You're laughing. Nene is fucking drowning and you're laughing
>>289036395>Hello Arisu>I'm under the water>Abloo bloo bloo
>>289036395Drowning in my praise for her.
Nene should show them her TikTok and just win this.
>>289036385kek
When is Nene namek over? I want to go back to Rikka kino again.
No Rikkas, only Nenes in this thread.
>>2890359587up reference? Based.
Rikka won about battle. Our girl is Apollo
>>289036932Hey.
>>289037045Do I have to remind you?
I just realized, Only Nene has tits as big as the bride. Could she be...?
I told you Rikka is like that girl in senryu shoujo. Igarashi made this manga thinking about her and its her time to shine.
>>289037062Nene is a chestlet
>>289037060Do your worst.
>>289036103nenebros pack it up it's over /ourgirl/ is not in the game anymore, never was...
>>289037062probably? Nobu is a contender. In terms of tit size, it's Nene>Iko>Nobu>Rikka I think unless I missed the official measurements.
Shitkkafags already shitting the thread.
>>289037092You already lost.
>>289037115My wife clown shoes are Kino
>>289036357I really hope she wins. I really don't want to see her get rejected.
>>289037134...bastard.
>>289035979>Mizu no Kokyuu
>>289035979Oh no, she's drowning!
>>289037262It's okay, she's already dead. Can't hurt her
Alright, enough of this. Time for some Nobu action next week.
>no lemonpass
I WANT TO MARRY IKO
>>289037292Can I do the action on Nobu?
>>289037306happy birthday ikofag.
>>289037315Go for it.
>>289036103Ok, that one got me. She's good. Cute! Beautiful! She can eat the other tunas, I won't mind.
Igarashi is not a great writer. He keeps giving Nene the most memorable, heartfelt moments despite designating her as the loser. His winner, Poochi, has 0 moments of interest and Rikka is boring. He's a man of heisei, maybe he will do the needful and have the twintail tsundere win.
>>289037062>>289037115Breast size isn't a good indicator, they're wildly inconsistent. Nene looks tiny in some chapters and Shinobu looks massive in others.
If Nene doesn't win I will burn the author's house...
>>289037302you got a lemon clone
>>289037115This Iko is pushing up her breasts while the others are in resting positions.
>No LemonShit chapter
>>289036080>incognito girlJust wear a shirt that says "I'm Apollo"
Nene's erotic body...
Good for Nene
nenibros...
>>289036060Does this mean we can't really tell what Nene's words mean until we read the whole finished series?
>>289036103And also this page is a grand confession of love.
>>289036103She lost. Ahahhah oh nonnon tsunbros Age of smug stacies beginning
>>289037692She has twintails.She's red.She's a tsundere.This is a layup. No way she loses.
>>289037752>Nino
PACK IT UP SHE WON. IT'S OVER.
>>289037466Anon, Nobu and Rikka are pushing their tiddies too. Iko is just that stacked.
Kurokami heroines are igarashi kink but his next kink is braid girls. Game was rigged from the beginning, nenebros
Type B tsunderes never win, nips only like their violent tsunbitches like Shana, Louise, Asuka or the gorilla Chitoge
>>289037816Nino wasn't a tsundere.
How the fuck does Iko hide her bazongas?
>>289036103Holy fucking kino.
>>289037849nenefags already know she's a lost cause. Won't stop me from enjoying her immense cuteness though.
>>289035851I like this gremlin.
>>289037849Shinobu is a joke character and Rikka is a red herring.
What's her problem?
>>289037925I'm heading to the bottom of the ocean with my Neneship.
>>289037843Maybe Nobu, not Rikka.
>>289037999Rikka is a buttqueen
>>289037406Yep, it's completely inconsistent. I think they're all supposed to be pretty huge.
>Nene chapter
>>289036103Holy shit this was perfect
>>289038026Nene's boobas are clearly the biggest.
>>289037977I'll be right there with you.
>>289037969Lemon's imouto.
>>289038208Way too ugly to be the imouto of someone as beautiful as Lemon.
>>289036080>top leftWhat a lovely Nene>>289036103God she is so perfect, why does she have to lose!?
>>289038208Lemon is even more dysfunctional than she is.
>>289038271>What a lovely NeneRight? She's so in love its not even funny.
>>289038284Give her a few more years.
Nene doesn't follow, she leads.
AI cracked Igarashi's code
>Rikkafag discovers technology.Gtfo out of here, Nene already won.
>>289038841Won the loser bowl, along with Iko and the menhera.
>>289038868>Notice Rikka please.Sorry bitch it's a Nene arc for the next 50 chapters.
AI is unreliable as hell. Give them four promts and they'll give you four different answers on the same topic
>>289036103She did this already, but it's effective. She strikes his precious Yamabuki pride.
>>289038975>give AI different prompts and they will give back any anwersdo it>reeee
>>289036060That would have been very cool if we actually got to see this in action, or if all of the reference material in-series so far wasn't otaku adjacent. How did nobody but the designated tsundere guess "this was a tsundere speech"
Nene chapters are becoming as boring and inconsequential as Rikka chapters.
CUTE! CUTEE!!
Smack those checks! <smack smack>
>>289039210>>289039211One can't help but NOOOOOOOOTICE that he's ramping up the chibi game.
>>289036080Another Nene has been added to my Nenefolder.
>>289039238He's making Nene cuter and cuter with each new chapter.
>>289036080>Nene can motorboat her while both standing upPowerful...
nene will avenge nini
>>289039533Nene and Nino are nothing alike. I'm sick of this comparison.
>>289035851I can fix her
>>289039533Nino cut her hair. I pray to fucking god Nene doesn't cut her majestic hair.
>>289039573>Implying there is anything to fixYou're not suitable for her
>>289039573You can't even fix Lemon.
>>289039589Cutting Nene's twintails physically hurts her, there are nerves inside
>>289037230kek
Just caught up on this shit this week. I think unless the author is a hack apollo can't be iko. Her dream she "gave up" was being an idol. Honestly the only person who really fits Apollo is nene MAYBE Rika. Apollo wanted to do something with her voice but was undecided. shinobu only wants to be an announcer so her mom will hear her (that could fit but is kinda sus) but she never had to give up her dream. Realistically it's down to nene or rikka. I think it's probably pointing towards nene. Especially since nene could actually find him in a crowd.
>>289039659IMO you are reading way too much into it. Hackery is inevitable, but the very least inconsistencies are guaranteed, especially with many flashforwards and past elements in the story. Also, what Ao Momotose does is kinda vtuber idol stuff. Iko also wants some big ass concert that fills up a stadium.
>>289039659disagree it will be shinobu bc of meta or rikka bc she the main girl
>>289039521Igarashi really is inconsistent with the boobas.
>>289039791Doesn't matter, different boob sizes are all sex in different ways
>>289039619If she does cut her hair, I know that it's over.
>>289039776Rikka really fits The main girl title Our Stacy will secure nice buckboy
>>289039836they also the most popular
>>289039659>Honestly the only person who really fits Apollo is neneA scholar, at last.
Reminder.
>>289039906Anon, we all know she's the most unpopular girl. That's what makes rooting for her even more fun.
Hide your shame, woman!
How old is Igarashi?
>>289039836Yeah, just like how Himari secured Tenichi!
Do you think the next chapter will be a Nene chapter or is her arc over?
>>289039944Anon I'm saying two of the most unpopular characters in the series deserve each other.
>>289040146She got a pretty big W this one so it should go to another girl.
>>289039398Perhaps with 100 more chapters she can reach a third of Shinobu's cuteness.
>>289036103>retards take this out of context thinking she's lost>in reality it's a grand confession of loveKino.
>>289040237>retards take this out of context thinking she's lostI'm pretty sure they're joking
>>289036125The sad reality is that Nene is probably more literate than the average anon.
>>289036125Only because Bucky forces her.
>>289040309In Japanese, certainly
>>289040065Assuming his debut oneshot happened when he was around 20 or so years old, he should be around 40 or late 30 by now.
Why is she so clingy?
>>289039074where were you when people were using AI to claim that Iko and Nene would win? AI doesn't have access to the source material. It just scrapes discussions from social media and forums, especially Redditso you are serious about using AI chatbot as an evidence and not a joke haha
>>289040473She knows she's losing
>>289040448That explains whey Nene exists, I guess.
>>289035894This could be foreshadowing. Ako Kanamemori is regarded as a prodigy who passed all 5 agencies evaluations in the bi-annual agency selection, but her teacher can't say that it was a good thing for her. She even probably hates her job. Would she have hated it if she wasn't as successful and took a longer path to success instead of a shortcut? That is the question brought up with her. Contrast that with the talented girl who skipped straight to the C-class Nene saw crying after failing the agency selection and who decided to remain in the C-class so she can study voice acting from scratch for another year.Everyone's situation is relative, but this adds to the foreshadowed outcome of Nene failing the selection, but it ultimately being a blessing for her future. Also Nene should confess even after failing, subverting the condition she placed on herself that she must fulfill her dream before telling Arisu something important. A confession filled with ambivalence, crying and sad over failing the selection, but moved by Arisu being dedicated to helping her right by her side and wanting to cheer her up, so her feelings will come out anyway.
>>289040473She's in love
>>289040623I won't believe it, until I have full on page confession!
>>289040591>WTF IGARASHI AFTER NENE CONFESSED YOU HAD NOTHING ELSE LINED UP FOR HER?>LOSING HEROINES JUST CONFESS AND THAT'S IT?!>THAT'S BULLSHIT AND YOU KNOW IT!>YOU CAN'T WRAP UP HER CHARACTER THAT EASILY!>SHE DESERVES BETTER!
>>289040473>againOH NOONONshe is apollo and it's meta commentary
Each Nene chapter further digs her grave. Why can't the author stop fucking around and eliminate her already so that she can a be cute and cool side character?
>>289040892He wants to squeeze out whatever little profit the delusional fans of this tsunshit can still give him.
>>289040892Replace Nene with Rikka and you're right.
>>289040892Don't worry, he'll do the same with the other two girls who won't be the winner, so you can all suffer together.
>>289035908>>289035921She apologized for being violent, she admitted their relationship was something propound and meaningful, the protagonist admitted she's changed a lot since they first met, and they alluded to her confessing her love. She's done, this tsundere checked all the boxes on the tsundere character development and romantic development path.
>>289035921>Shinobu never apologized for kicking Arisu
>>289041443Good, then her character progression is done and we can discard her to focus on the better girls now
Does Shinobu even have anything going on for her aside from some vague and abstract bullshit like "the meta"?
>>289041740Depends, but most of the things really lean towards meta things. Basically most of the time she or the situation treats her differently than the rest. Thus, it gives you the illusion that the story itself treats her as the special one.
>>289037023What do you mean? 7UP the drink?
>>289041740>Does Shinobu even have anything going on for herAll of this
>>289041740she has most romantic moments than rest of the cast
>>289041926Yikes no.
>>289041808This wouldn't be that much of an issue if weren't for the toubun comparisons. Shinobu is obviously not a 100% copy of Yotsuba, but she contains enough similarities where even their routes are starting to be similar. She basically gets interludes here and there till it's about time to win. Which was supposedly Negi's original intention.
>>289041924The girls all have the same body type, so I don't see how this is an advantage.
Shinosmellfag
>Rikkafag is posing as a Nobufag again.
>>289041926>MostThat single time in the tower. But hey, quality over quantity. But please do not start the 'blushing wars' again.
>>289042007bucky reacts differently the most with shinobu
>Nene>Rikka>Shinobu=IkoIn terms of romantic moments, Nene has it in the bag. The other three just can't compete with Nene's aquarium date.
>>289035851>this level of mental disorderI fucking wish it was a uncommon disorder, it's way too fucking common in my life
>>289042061Depends on you define romantic. I olev Nene; however Arisu doesn't pay any kind of special attention to her during those events like the aquarium date.
>>289041970You're too superficial, her head is not only tailor-made for patting, it's full of complex and intelligent romantic thoughts of building and raising a stable family (four children) with Arisu in a life-long relationship
>>289036103kino
>>289042145Quit pretending you're a nenefag.
>>289042171She's balding, hate to break it to ya.
>>289035851DOYA!!
>>289042319That would be Nene, she's aggressive and loud because her testosterone levels are too high. Shinobu is soft and feminine
>>289042429>Shinobu is soft and femininesee>>289041600Her dream is to become a news anchor and please old men for on-air time
>>289042293Look man, I love that chapter. Nene played him masterfully, but that doesn't change the fact that she's just talent in his eyes and nothing more.
>>289042429NENE IS THE SOFTEST AND FLUFFIEST WITH LUX HAIRLINE
>>289042468>see>>289041600Being mentally unstable and not making sense is as feminine as one can get>and please old men for on-air timeand support her family and her househusband Arisu, knowing her children are watching her on TV every time she presents*>>289042522Nene shaves every day to achieve this look. Shinobu is naturally completely hairless and smooth all over
>>289042565Nobu is so fake. Like, who dyes one side of their hair? It doesn't make any damn sense.
>>289036314It's honestly weird how little this goes addressed. Most of the hints that the heroines received that early in the manga can be explained away, but Apollo liking Lilycos is still a totally Nene-exclusive thing that's been hanging out in the background. It even ties into her flash forward.
>>289042596Main characters need to stand out from the rest of the cast. Also she was born like this
>>289042001>>289042635>born like this.>meanwhile in a single panel, she has a full black hair.She dyes it, she's a liar and a snek.
>>289042670This part is dyed though. Maybe it's just the way her hair is twisted so we're still mostly seeing the back
>>289042007Don't argue with the Shinobuschizo. Just point and laugh.
>>289042472>She's just a talent!>Meanwhile Arisu.Arisu had absolutely no reason to chase after Nene here, but he did it because he thought she wanted to be alone with him. In reality, it all just points back to his own desire to be alone with her, since he kept chasing after her for no reason other than his delusion that she wanted to be alone with him. He could have left Nene alone but he chased after her.
>QueeNobu on her loyal steed
>>289042723That doesn't make any sense. Just look at this coloured Nobu >>289041924
>>289042740Arisu doesn't like being ignored, he's chased after Rikka and Iko before, and even if you assume he wanted to talk to her, well, there's nothing special about it, he also wanted to talk to Iko before being kidnapped by Lemon.
>>289042795Ask Igarashi
>>289042817He told me Nene wins
>>289042814he is a narcissist scum
>>289042740Again, no hint of romance at all. He's just a stubborn egoist. That's why Nene belongs to me.
>>289042907Without a doubt, he is.
>>289042907>>289042970The fictional heroines will never love you. They're for the chad.
>>289042946Not if you kill me first.
>>289042994You're talking about rikka while she fucks all of her band members excluding the bass player.
>>289043025I loved Nene first. Therefore she belongs to me.
>>289043063But she loved Arisu first.
>>289043063Nene was promised to me 2000 years ago.
>>289041740It's not romantic. He's chasing after her because he desires attention and saw it as a blow to his pride being ignored. That's not a good thing. Compare that to his date with Shinobu where he just wanted to make her happy. Shinobu brought out the good in him compared to Nene where he's just an arrogant attention whore expecting her to chase after him because he's full of himself and took her feelings for granted since the rest also put in the effort to be alone with him. Not saying you can't like it, it's cute seeing Nene humble his arrogant self, but it speaks more of his arrogance, then him being particularly attracted to Nene.
>>289043199Even with all those "romantic" moments, Shinobu will still come up short.
>>289043199Sounds about right even though I'm not a shinobufag. Igarashi is just stalling with the other girls until he's ready to end the manga with Shinobu's arc and victory.
>>289043226
>>289043294>Moment taken before disaster
>>289035921>>289041600They owe him sex.
You can tell nothing happened in a chapter from the amount of waifu shitposting in the thread
>>289043358It's a romcom.Nothing ever happens until the end.
>>289043358why are you even here?
>>289043358>Not expecting waifu shitposting in a manga that's literally centered around waifu wars.
>>289043358
>>289036060>2 days>can't read 25 volumesget these posers outta here
>>289043358>I can't fucking believe waifufags are waifuposting in a thread for this waifu war manga
>>289036080>You'll never poke Nene's tummy
>>289035958Arisu looks like Noodle Man in the bottom right panel.
>>289039377Why is she Incognito girl?
>>289037292We'll get at least 2 more Nene chapters. Shinobu will stay cucked for a while.
>>289039533Nene already surpassed Nini. She will laugh at Nini on her wedding day.
>>289043844I'll give it to Nene. There's more going on between her and Arisu than whatever Nino had with F.
>>289043867Nino peaked here and then the author just decides to completely sideline her for the rest of the manga.
>>289043867At the end of the day, both of them will end up being losers who never got over him.
>>289043973Maybe, but you don't know that.
>>289043199This isn't romantic, either. He's doing this to motivate her because otherwise, she'd bomb her promotion test. Shinobu, being the menhera that she is, probably thinks someone being nice to her means he has feelings for her, but him inviting Nene along despite knowing they all have feelings for him should be a good indicator of how he really sees her.
It's crazy how cute she is. I want to hug her tight.
>>289035851wait a minutethis is just the haruhi va!
>>289036103wellthat settles itshe hates him
>>289035851what a giga cunt>>289035979nene just entered THE ZONE>>289039377super cute >>289036103menhera midget BTFO
>>289036103ah straight out of nisekoi love confession scene early on after the play. absolute cinema
>Nene chapter>Thread still aliveWhat went so right?!
>>289044769despite what /a/ will tell you, everybody loves tsundere twintail characters.
>>289044810/a/ itself is a tsundere bitch.
>>289044769>Decent chapter that focuses on a heroine who is loved by /a/ and isn't a chore to watch like Borikka>Her chapters also don't have obnoxious side characters like HizumiWhat went right, indeed.
>>289036103Once again, Nene proves that she doesn't love Arisu.
>>289044769/a/ has a disproportionate amount of Nene enthusiasts (like me).
>>289036103I thought you guys said that Nene didn't hate Bucky? Why did you lie to me?
>>289044992I have a feeling Igarashi dedicated this chapter to mocking all the anons who thought she hated him.
>>289045027>anonsWasn't it one guy who was so new to animu and mango that he didn't know what a tsundere was? Wonder if he's still here.
>>289045054it was a dedicated shitposter, hopefully he's gone for good
>>289044085Shinobu also literally grew up motherless, so it's not a surprise she latched onto the first nice guy she met.
>>289044978We only have Nene connoisseurs here.
>>289035851I knew she was a little shit. Everything about her outfit screams "entitled".
>>289035779woah reminds of me neeno
>>289044940>>Her chapters also don't have obnoxious side characters like HizumiI'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. The only thing that makes Hizumi tolerable is her shitting on Rikka, but even that schtick has run dry. The fact is, Rikka's career advancement isn't fun to read. It's just her accepting the reality that she has to sell out to make it big. Nene, on the other hand, is fun to see progress, even when it isn't moving the romantic part of the plot forward. Rikka's more intimate chapters with Arisu aren't that bad, but everything else surrounding her character is a chore to read. Shinobu has a similar problem in that she doesn't feel that she's progressing at all due to the inherent limitations of trying to pursue her career in high school, so the only way Igarashi can think to make her feel more compelling is to artificially present her interactions with Arisu as being more romantic than the other heroines, even though they really aren't when you actually compare them in broad strokes. They just give the illusion that they are because the other trajectory of her character arc has so little room for development.
>>289046283you can excuse shinobu because she's the endgame
>>289046371You really can't accuse a heroine being uninteresting in a romcom, and you sure as fuck can't excuse her having no reasonable evidence for being the mystery girl in a harem whodunnit outside of "muh meta".
>>289046479Excuse*
>>289046479will you apologise when she wins
>>289046607If she wins because she's a pitybait heroine with no real evidence for being Apollo other than that Igarashi decided to say that she is? Absolutely not. I'll criticize the manga for having bad writing. The same way I would criticize it it if Rikka wins when she's the most obvious, most suspected heroine with regards to being Apollo. That's bad mystery writing. I would hope Igarashi can deliver something better than that. I'm not convinced he will, but I can certainly hope.
>>289036060Is this the damn Hunter Exams? What's the next class going to be like with a trickster like that?
>>289046861>Everybody pair up. In this next test, you'll be judged on how sexy your voice sounds when you're getting a rimjob.Nene will pass with flying colors.
>>289046960Can I pair up with Nene?
>>289046977Too late, faggot.
>all this Nene developmentThe romcom veteran is making me feel like this is a swansong for Nene. The hopeful is making me think that this is just a set up for her to win.I can't believe I'm rooting for the pink haired twintail tsundere. Reiwa is a trip.
>>289046283Iko’s career goal is the most fake and unserious but oddly enough that allows it to have a false semblance of “progress.”
>>289047036It's not looking too good. If he wanted to do something "novel," he could make it so the winning heroine's development isn't slated to be last. Alas, I don't think that will be the case for Nene.
>>289047106>Iko’s career goal is the most fake and unseriousThe fuck does that even mean? VTubers are huge icons in Japan, and the popular ones who aren't beholden to shitty, exploitative agencies make a shitload of money. Iko's flash forward shows her having 3 million subscribers. The amount of views that VTubers with those numbers get is insane. She'll be making millions a year on ad revenue, sponsorships, and merchandising. Even the best paid voice actors and most successful singers in Japan don't even come close to what a top VTuber makes.
>>289035979>nene casts tidal wave
>>289046853You sound like you're still mad at 5toubun.
>>289036103>no clipping allowedMARIO 64 SPEEDRUNNERS GET DOWN
>>289047609I want to noclip inside Nene and tickle her reproductive organs
>>289047590I don't get why it's become so cool to hate on 5toubun's ending. everyone was celebrating Yotsuba's victory at the time. I blame animeonlies.
>>289047590Neah, Yotsuba had plenty of indicators that she would win planted throughout the narrative. And people caught them while the manga was being serialized. Her winning tied everything together pretty nicely, even if she wasn't my personal favorite. Though the mystery aspect of 5toubun was substantially different than the one in Mayotuna, so trying to write Shinobu to win the the same way that Yotsuba did, without laying the groundwork for her to actually make sense as Apollo, would be notably bad writing.
You have to be an absolute retard to fall for this again. I want to think Toubun refugees are better than this.
>>289047684Oh really, who’s the obvious winner then?
>>289047662That pretty much sums it up. At least here on /a/, there was way more celebration over Yotsuba winning than there was bitching and/or dissatisfaction. Compare that to the ending of Hima-Ten a couple of days ago and it's a pretty stark contrast. Animefag secondaries are definitely the primary reason 5toubun's ending gets so much shit here these days.
Do people still think Yotsuba had hints that she'd win? Yep, /a/ is definitely full of absolute brainlets.
>>289047684Kind of ironic considering that people say Shinobu will win because her relationship with Arisu reads as the most romantic, whereas in 5toubun Yotsuba seriously had the second least romantic development but still won. So which continent of 5toubun refugees are you referring to, exactly? Because the Ninifags mostly don't think Nene has a chance, even though her dynamic with Arisu is substantially different than how Nino was written.
NENE IS HERE TO AVENGE NINO.
>>289047716Not Nene, that's for sure. She's the only mayo I would genuinely fuck, though.
>>289047745The clues in 5toubun didn't really have anything to do with identifying who the mystery girl from Fuutaro's past was, since that whole side plot was meant to resolve on its own without contributing to his choice. A few of the clues Yotsuba had that people picked up on at the time were her telling Fuutaro she loves him with a straight face despite being a bad liar, her being the one who held his ring finger when he was sick, and her envisioning a first place medal while all four of her sisters were imagining themselves getting fucked by Fuutaro. There are others, but it's been a while since I've read the manga.
>>289047802Prime breeding material.
>>289047802>genuinely fuckWhich ones would you have inauthentic sex with, then?
>>289047891Rikka can hold an onahole between her thighs while I fuck it.
>>289047891Iko deserves the rape. I won't even touch Rikka. Nobu, I'll let her go.
>>289047745She had the most hints that made sense, her story was also meta as fuck.
>>289044978Each girl had her heyday. Except for Rikka.
>>289047932Everyone had hints that made sense. Same here.
>>289047932Not really, everything was decided by a fucking bottle of juice. Anyone could've won and people would've swallowed it all the same. There's nothing special about Yotsuba or her sisters, which is why the ending was complete dogshit. It feels like they just use meta-arguments instead of a natural, organic development of things.
>Rikka chapter>I skip, I sleep, and I ignore.This is how I roll. Every single Rikka arc, I don't know and don't care about.
>>289048013Get ready because Shinobu is the meta pick.
>>289047745>>289047932People knew she was the girl Fuuts met by like ch 80. The only time he seemed to be enjoying himself was when he was with her. Yotsuba was the obvious winner after the flashback.
>>289048013>everything was decided by a fucking bottle of juiceI see you didn't read the manga. Got it.>Anyone could've won and people would've swallowed it all the sameIchika will never win because she tricked himNino will never win because she drugged him twiceMiku will never win because all of things she wanted was only to improve herself for himItsuki was literally the 3rd party cheering for Yotsuba's win.
>>289048068just like nobu
>shinobu is the meta pickWho is the anti-meta pick, then?
>>289048142nene
>>289048112>Itsuki was literally the 3rd party cheering for Yotsuba's win.Itsuki also had the last romantic development with Fuutaro by a huge margin. In fact, she had virtually none. She did have feelings for him, but they were never once portrayed to be on the same level as her sisters, and she was more than happy to play the wingwoman role from start to finish if it meant helping Yotsuba. Itsuki was a good girl, but she was also an overt red herring who never had a chance of winning. Though Negi did throw in one last fakeout at the end with her being the only one Fuutaro didn't kiss.
>>289047849I think it'd be kinda sad if she didn't move on from Bucky. I didn['t like this chapter for that reason.
>>289048142iko. girls like iko never win
>>289048142There's no such thing as anti-meta pick.There's only a red herring and meta. The remaining unlabeled ones are filler.
>>289048121Shinobu is nothing like that. I was a staunch Yotsuba supporter from the get go and I will go on record in thinking that Shinobu is trash and will not win.
>>289048235>Shinobu is nothing like that.Oh don't worry, she will be in the future. Just a reminder nobody thought Yotsuba would in in the first 75 chapters of 5toubun and people outright declared her as a side character lmao.
>>289048235How so? It really does seem like he's setting her up to be the winner as her goals require Arisu's time more than the others. Also factor in that he and she tend to feel more "coupley" in her chapters.
>>289048211>There's no such thing as anti-meta pick.Absolute fucking nonsense. Especially in an era where characters that are written as traditionally losing heroines are winning waifubowls in their respective series. >Oh don't worry, she will be in the future. Just a reminder nobody thought Yotsuba would in in the first 75 chapters of 5toubunRevisionist history at its finest. Were you following the series exclusively on Reddit?
>>289048279No one thinks Nene will win besides the Nenebros. Right now she’s last in the popularity polls.
>>289048317not even Nenebros think she will win
>>289048279>Just a reminder nobody thought Yotsuba would in in the first 75 chapters of 5toubunI thought she had a chance. I knew 123 were out so it came down to 4 and 5. 4 had the most romantic development and when we learned the past it was obvious. Shinobu is just an on bird who likes a guy more than she should.>>289048311Shinobu is forcing the issue, he seems turned off by it since he likes to be the pursuer, not the pursued. Her "dream" is to be his onahole in college, the announcer thing barely matters to her.
>>289048317Most people think Rikka is Apollo, but she's second in popularity polls. There are definitely people who hitch themselves to who they think will be the winning horse, but most people just vote for the heroine they like most. Also, no one thinks Nene is not likely to lose the Nenefags. She has a way better shot than her actual fans give her credit for.
>>289048345>he seems turned off by it since he likes to be the pursuer, not the pursued.This is the most misunderstood interpretation of that scene that I've ever seen lmao.
>>289048345Who do you think will win? Not trying to be argumentative either; I'm genuinely curious.
>>289048357More likely to lose than Nenefags*
>>289048365Faggot is definitely a nenefag just by looking at his post.
>>289048335One or two nenebros does, even then they already have accepted nene will lose.
>>289048365Rikka. You're pretty slow if you think otherwise.
>Rikka>the biggest red herring>winning anythinglol, lmao even
>Popularity polls.
>>289048390She's the most important girl to Bucky so far and is the most likely to not be Apollo, which makes it likely she is. She still likes him in the flashforward and unless the author wants her to be a loser pining for her HS crush Nene won.
>>289048365NTA, but if Igarashi wants the ending to actually be satisfying, it'll be either Nene or Iko. Rikka reads too much as a read herring to a satisfying answer to the Apollo mystery, and Shinobu has literally nothing going for her other than meta-narrative genre conventions. Iko has a lot of inter-narrative evidence, and Nene has a much more interesting meta-narrative position than Shinobu because of the Apollo 13 parallels and the possible symbolism surrounding her (e.g, possibly being pregnant in the future).
>>289048112Why don't you stop projecting your tastes and read the fucking manga yourself? Even with all that bullshit from the other sisters, that son of a bitch Fuutaro cared for them all the same, hence his shitty declaration that he loves them all. He basically had Yotsuba on the same level as her sisters, no one was special. It was behind the scenes that the bastard chose the bottle that represents Yotsuba. Replace that fucking bottle with any other and there is your winner, fucking moron.
>>289048376>He cant tell a rikkafag just from a post.
>>289048400Literally the exact same shit people spent two years saying about Itsuki because "first girl".
>>289048419There was only 1 official popularity poll and it was 1. Miku2. Yotsuba3. Ichika4. Itsuki5. NinoThe one you posted was after the series ended and was unofficial.
>>289048439>>289048385Meant to quote this.
>>289048425Given how sadistic these mangaka can be, I wouldn't be surprised if he derives pleasure from making her still love him despite having lost long ago.
>>289048439Oh, I could definitely tell. But unlike Rikkajeet he's literate and actually asking questions so I chose to engage in good faith.
>>289048458I really hope Igarashi buckles the trend of having the epilogue or final chapter being a humiliation ritual for the other heroines.
>>289048436>He basically had Yotsuba on the same level as her sistersExcept that's not even true. Fuutarou literally said that he started thinking that Yotsuba was special after scrambled eggs. What he declared in that classroom was nothing more than courtesy to not hurt the other sisters. He was only thinking of Yotsuba and none of the sisters was on his mind lmao.Read the manga again, retard.
>>289037202She is 100% going to lose.
>>289048439We only have rikkajeet as the only rikkafag in these threads. Stop pretending you're a rikkafag, dumbass nenefag.
>>289048482Not to sound too crazy, but I will not be surprised if Nene is his punching bag by the end of this. I know some people think she's his favorite, but that could be a ruse.
>>289048497>What he declared in that classroom was nothing more than courtesy to not hurt the other sisters.Well that's obviously not true. The whole point of him being able to distinguish them all at the wedding is to show that he loves them all. That's one of the main plot points of the manga coming full circle. It was just a matter of him loving Yotsuba the most and seeing her as the one he wants to be his partner.
>>289048528There are definitely other Rikkafags kek. They just mostly stay quiet outside of Rikka threads, and there aren't enough of them to prevent those threads from 404ing well before bump limit. Rikkajeet is just the only one with thick enough skin to keep acting like a retard for his waifu regardless of how much shit he gets for it. Which is fine by me. I intend to keep shitting on him for his shit taste even if she wins.
>>289048497That is nothing but pure hindsight bias, I'm talking before his confession, not all the shit that came later which was nothing but damage control, because the idiot never showed the slightest sign of affection toward Shitsuba, he even indirectly rejected her when they were mistaken for a couple lmao, but I guess an unevolved being like you can't understand it, well go ahead keep rejoicing in that piece of shit ending.
>>289048532I just don't see that happening with any of the heroines to the extent it happened with Nino. The whole point of them having careers that they're pursuing is that they'll all be successful and have their own happy endings even if they aren't the winning heroine. At least I'm assuming that's the point.
>>289048553The love he had for the others was nothing more than familial love and the only romantic interest that was on his mind was Yotsuba. You don't need to post your mental gymnastics in here when it's so fucking simple.
>>289048608>the idiot never showed the slightest sign of affection toward ShitsubaNaruhodo. You're just mad that your favorite horse didn't win the race so you've embraced delusion as a coping mechanism. I feel bad for you, anon. You remind me of Tenrifags.
>>289048610Itsuki, Ichika, and Miku had their own things to hang their hat on. Nino was just waiting for Yotsuba and Fuutarou to break up. I don't think Igarashi will ever do Shinobu as dirty as Negi did Nino.
>>289048617I would find that interpretation easier to accept if he hadn't effectively confessed to all 5 of them simultaneously. It isn't mental gymnastics to take what's written on the page at face value.
>>289048608>I'm talking before his confessionI was also talking about before the confession. You can literally see Fuutarou practicing the swings and trying to beat Yotsuba's record even before all of this shit confession happened. Yotsuba was constantly on his mind at the time and he was just unsure of it. This even proves that he already likes her when Raiha found out the love book guide from him.
>Manipulated Fuutarou because teehee genki desu>Used her sister’s identity for whatever reason to lie and manipulate Fuutarou>Was an absolute shithead to her sisters before meeting Fuutarou again.>Almost drowned Fuutarou because she felt like itI am still salty about Yotsuba winning after she treated Fuutarou and her sisters like an asshole. Because also not a lot of character development and build up. And the editors stopped handholding Negi half way through and he was revealeved as a bad writer.But is Yotsuba the worst winner ever? Yes, she is, there was so many problems regarding how she won, first of all is how all the hints was never in her favor, thoughout the story there was barely any meaningful/romantic moments between her and Fuutarou secondly, it's how she was written, from the start to the end, she's the same person nothing changed, flashbacks ain't character dev. Even in the last volume, even though she won, she's a doormat, she cant even refuse when the others wanted to pull off one last quints game or even when they wanted to tag along with the honeymoon.Finally, regarding who she is as a character, ever since it was revealed that she was lolikano, all of her actions makes more sense but in a bad way, she kept her distance from Fuutarou cuz she couldn't keep her "promise" which is retarded as fuck then she had to drag Itsuki in the drama by forcing her to dress as Rena to manipulate him. Not to mention all of her lies, which are Lolikano was never revealed to him, then the Bell Kisser, it was half-assed, magine not revealing to your boyfriend of 5 years the fact that you took his first kiss while you were in your sister's disguise. Doesn't matter if it was an accident, the intention for the kiss was there.
>>289048640Yeah, the other three handled it findme, even if Ichika and Miku were pretty hurt. That's why I only mentioned Nino. Having her cry at the wedding was absolutely fucking brutal on Negi's part. Even her career trajectory just ended up being attached to Miku's. She really came away with nothing but pain and humiliation.
>>289048631The ending is trash regardless of who won. Fuutaro is such a generic MC that he threw hints for every single one of those bitches; he wasn't even a real character. No one was special, but retards like you keep coping and believing he always loved Yotsuba.
toubun niggers still hating the ending because they're retarded speedreaders will never not be funny. I honestly expect this same kind of energy in the future when Shinobu wins it all in the end lmao.
>>289048669Handled it fine*
>>289048669I like to think Nino's gonna try to fuck his dad.
>>289048681You're incredibly delusional if you think Shinobu will win. She is the least important main character and she has no real goals. Her development will be learning to let go of her petty little girl crush and maybe her mom might not hate her.
>>289048724sure thing bro whatever makes you sleep at night.
>>289048653Holy fuck you're fuming. This has to be pasta, right? Surely there's no way you're still this assmad 7 years later. Here, anon: This should cheer you up.
>>289048736I sleep well knowing that it's a Iko win. We're in the age of "the most popular wins" like in megami cafe, himaten, and ririsa.
Just a reminder, Yotsuba didn't have any real goals either but she still won lol.
>>289048528Nenebros dont impersonate other fags and start fights for no reason. That one rikkafag likes to do it in every single Tuna thread.
>>289048746There's no proof whatsoever that Honoka was the most popular heroine in Hina-Ten. There was never a popularity poll.
>>289048648Because the "confession" to all 5 was him finally acknowledging them instead of being the autistic tutorbot he was for 100 chapters. It wasn't "I romantically love all of you equally", it was "you all changed my life and I can't pretend you didn't." Then he picks one. That's not that hard to parse unless you're deliberately flattening every emotional scene into a checklist for your ship.
>>289048745I was there in that screenshot. Fuck you yotsuba. I will snap your neck too Negi.
Honoka was definitely the most boring heroine if anything kek. Stupid as Onodera clone without any redeeming qualities.
>>289048746Iko has already been proven to not be Apollo
>>289048785 thank fucking god I dropped that manga.
>>289048746Iko is neither Apollo nor the winner. The only thing Iko has is her winning the popularity poll with 3k people voting lmao.
>>289048610It's not going to be as bad, but not permitting a heroine to move on is still fucked up, and I'm tired of bullshit like that. All I want is Nene to be happy and to live her own life without being hung up on a crush from highschool. Igarashi, however, probably gets off on this like the rest of his ilk do.
>>289048870Is that what the voices are saying?
>>289048870>Iko has already been proven to not be ApolloYou're thinking of Shinobu.
>>289048965Why is Iko such a degen?
>>289041740She canonically has the fattest butt due to her snacking.
>>289048979>Why would this heroine care about where her crush has been sleeping for years?One can only ponder such deep and introspective questions.
>>289048650The fact that he tries to beat that stupid record of Yotsuba doesn't mean a piece of shit if in the end he had her on the same level as her sisters, you are referring to the romance guide that he was reading before meeting with Nino, what the fuck does that have to do with Yotsuba?
>>289049016Anon Iko has bad intentions. She wants to sniff that pillow for sure.
>>289049016We don't know if Iko liked him at that point. If she did that'd mean she's apollo.
>>289049019You're fucking illiterate.
>>289049055Go fuck yourself.
>>289048965She's clearly trying to sniff his bed after remarking about the smell of his room being "so nice". That's why she's so defensive when his sister barges in and catches her in the act. It's not some Apollo clue.
>>289049012Nene is so fat she was ashamed of being topless around her friends. She's known as the largest tuna for a reason
I'll always love Nene.
>>289043707THIS!
>>289049037>If she did that'd mean she's apollo.That's the whole point, yes. The fixation on Arisu's bed is one of a few instances of behavior on Iko's part that only makes sense if she's Apollo.
>>289049178Or she's just that horny
>>289035779Fuck, this is giving me a cringey flashback to the time I slap a guy because the teacher asked us to make a fun joke for her students
>>289049187Naw. Terminally online nerds aren't dementedly horny and girls aren't smellfags.
>>289049200>girls aren't smellfags.
>>289049200Wrong statement topped off with an extremely wrong statement
>>289049234NTA but I'm pretty confident he was saying that ironically.
>>289049101If Rikka and Arisu's sister weren't there I wonder how hard she'd be huffing.
>>289049303She'd be doing more than just huffing.
>>289048785I remember reading it back then, and I stopped at a certain point. I completely forgot about Honoka's existence and was confused as to who she was kek.
>Yamabuki doesn't react to Nene's advancesWhat a fag.
>>289049628He is not a masochist
>>289049628It’s genuinely strange because he thinks she’s the most likely to be Apollo
>>289048746Iko's already foreshadowed to lose.
>>289049677He is just a fag.Plain and simple.
Cute Nene
i wonder if, 8 years from now on, people will still be arguing about the winner of MHT like they do with TQQ lol
>>2890498678 years from now, I will still be hornyposting about Nene and waifuposting about Shinobu
>>289049867We're too niche of a manga to have people still be arguing about the winner 8 years from now. I doubt anyone will be talking about it a month after it ends.
>>289049926true true
>>289049926This as long as it doesn't have a shit ending too.Shit like Hima-ten will be talked about for how shitty it is rather than how good it was.
>>289037302We got Lime. Lemon Lite.
>>289037969she’s a woman who never faced struggle until after she became an adult
Pretty sure the author just went with Honoka because he was getting axed anyway. Probably a way to spite the fucking manga itself since he was told to end it early.
>>289050179If he wanted to spite the manga, he would have made Himari won.Honoka is the most popular girl in nip land, so I don't see how this would piss them off.
>>289050241>Honoka is the most popular girl in nip land,[citation needed]
>>289050265>[citation needed]I saw it in my dream.
>>289050007She's already been added to the collage.
>>289050317>Devil is a part-timer.Fuck you for reminding me of that shit.
>>289050317Put Rikka on it too.
>>289048746where is this phantom "popularity poll"? it's like a rumor that was repeated so many times that people started believing it. nobody can provide the proof
Iko isn’t actually popular. No one ever talks about her in the threads. The popularity ranking by thread activity is clearly Nene > Shinobu > Rikka > Iko
>>289050446Anon, if thread activity on a Mongolian basket weaving board is what decides something's popularity, this manga would be a bestseller.
>>289050446>Rikka being higher than Iko in this threadRikkajeet please.
>>289050446>>289050472Iko would definitely post here if she were real
>>289050349I'm still salty about it myself.
>>289050384If you're talking about Mayotuna, this is the most recent one. I have no fucking idea how you could possibly have actually been around in the past few months and not seen people at least post images of the results. There was even a thread for this one. https://pocket.shonenmagazine.com/article/entry/mayochu_20260411
>>289050480People talk more about Rikka than Iko in these threads, that’s just a fact.
>>289050588The only time we've ever had multiple new threads every week was the Iko chapters during the end of the school trip arc. You're delusional if you think Rikka is more popular here than Iko.
>>289050588>PeopleSure, Rikkajeet.
>>289050611Don't be mean. Rikka is special. The illiterate thirdie keeps saying it, so it must be true.
>>289048746Do you honestly want wins likencafe where it's basically them standing around while the guy says "i picked you because you confessed first"
>>289050605Ctrl-FNene: 123Rikka: 56Shinobu: 45Iko: 43I was mistaken actually, Rikka is even more popular than Shinobu.
>>289050446That's not the popularity ranking, it's the fanbase mental illness ranking
There's one way to settle this. Every fag here needs to meet up in a parking lot; we'll team up by girl; and then beat the shit out of each other until one girl's fags remain standing.
>>289050675So your argument is that because no one is talking about Iko in a Nene thread, she must not be popular? Kek.
>>289038039PANTYHOSE
>>289050722I'm perfectly willing to set aside my differences with the Nobuschizos if it means all of us can come together collectively and curb stomp Rikkajeet until he's thoroughly broken.
>>289050384>>289050570'Luv seeing a faggot get BTFO'd and have nothing to say tbqh.
>>289050758Why is Shinobu associated with schizos and Rikka associated with jeets? Why would jeets be associated with basic media literacy?
>>289050758/thread
>>289050820Rikka is associated with a singular, really loud and obnoxious jeet. Calling all of her fags Rikkajeet is just something certain anons have begun doing as a result. Also, basic media literacy tends to mean you can recognize the indicators of an obvious red herring in a story with an ostensible mystery premise. Rikka fucking screams red herring, so it stands to reason that a jeet who has proven himself to be unironically functionally illiterate, is also media illiterate enough to take her very on-the-nose clues at face value and assume they mean she must necessarily be Apollo. So congratulations to you. That's the company you keep. A retarded, illiterate streetshitter who still thinks being the first girl makes a character "special" and is too stupid to know what a red herring is. Enjoy the smell.
>>289050820It's literally just one guy hating on all shinobufags lmao.
>>289050820>>289050959>everyone who hates me is the same personI explained Rikkajeet. The above post is why Shinobu is associated with schizos.
See the above post proving that it's literally just one guy
>>289050983you'd start noticing it too because he really hates it when you call him out kek
>>289051009You're the easiest Nobuschizo to recognize because you don't know where the shift key is. So what did you think about that popularity poll you claimed doesn't exist?
>>289036103I will now read your series guys.
>>289050820Shinobu is associated with schizos because some of her fans deluded themselves into thinking she's a super special girl. In fact, they're so delusional, they just go "nuh uh" and resort to mental gymnastics even when you present them with panels that directly contradict their delusions. It makes engaging with them very unfun.
