>>291595578My shitty harem with no progress is back. Thank you, dumper-sama
>>291595701i thought that was "so you weren't into me?", but now i realize that harems with no progress are very common
>>291595582Why is Nene not using her nenes to sell more. Is she stupid?
>>291595626>By a bunch of lovely high-school girlsAnd Rikka
>>291595851w-why are all otaku fans depicted as fat and ugly...?
Hizumi trained her well
>>291595853Is Buki included in the lovely high-school girls?
>>291595795She is gonna try using that favor to cuck them, right?
>>291595772>>291595795See Shinobu, that's how you do a snek. Learn from it.
>>291595896HOLY SEX/a/, i think it's about time we like rikka again
>>291595896>JK cosplaying as a JKOtaku will eat it up. Nice move from Rikka, although one that devalues her as a haremette.
>>291595695Thoughts. Lewd thoughts.
>>291595896WHORE,,,continue
>>291595967Goddamn, did I just... gained some respect for Rikka?Imagine if we always had chapters like that about her.
Rikka being cringe again, it's unbelievable that Igarashi had to create such a forced situation to make her look so pathetic. I'm done, I can't keep supporting Rikka anymore.
>>291595732Ok, that was funny.
>>291595947>I always act like I'm a cool kid<flashforward>>I'm... done trying to act cool.Character development? For Rikka?!
>>291595896Sex shaped.
>>291595896How are Rikkafags feeling after seeing their waifu whoring herself out to men like this?
>>291596165It's more of a downgrade, it seems Igarashi simply forced her to resign herself to it.
>>291596375>How are Rikkafags feeling after seeing their waifu whoring herself out>"Finally, she figured it out."
>>291595967And Bukki is whelmed.
>>291595808I AM MADLY IN LOVE WITH IKO...!!!!!!
>>291595896IDOL RIKKA
>>291596378It’s jarring to see how her once prideful character from the early chapters has been reduced to a reluctant sex object. And I’m not even a fan of hers
>>291595795>Hour of needAccording to the famous Yamabuki principle, when the hour of need happens, just itch the ditch, bitch.
>>291595851>Arisu: Rikka, please. Just whore yourself out, for fuck's sake!
>>291595582I'm going to marry Shinobu and become the stepfather of her daughter, Iko.
>>291596375>How are Rikkafags feeling after seeing their waifu whoring herself out to men like this? ??????????????????? That's like 90% of Rikka's appeal
>>291595578Are the animals referencing something or they just randomly picked for the outfits?
Cute Rikka
>>291595896the biggest tummyslut ever
>>291595808>Standing on the table so they can all see her pantiesWHY IS IKO SUCH A SLUT
>>291595808Rikka being her BFF makes sense but is that what the RAW also uses or just a general tomodachi?
>>291595578shinobu sexo
>>291595756>My friend has trouble selling tickets tooPoor guy got ignored
>>291595851I want this squee girl colorized
Finally a good rikka chapter
When have we last seen a harem romcom where every girl is the best girl? They're all cinnamon rolls and need lots of headpats and cuddling.

>>291595582Mommy Shinobu! Iko is so lucky!
>>291595578They look thicker than usual here. Especially Rikka and Shinobu
>>291595732Geez, his wives are all a pain in the ass.
sailor uniforms >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> blazers
>>291595732Hoes mad.
>>291598071Iko, Nene, Nobu sold half of the full amount, not sure if the initial few were counted, but they have sold at least 75. So about 70-75 remains, so chances say Rikka herself will sell half of it. There will be some semi-dramatic last minute purchase I bet. Maybe by Arisu himself.
>>291595967Over 130 chapters, and i still love the chapter titles perfectly meshing with the dialogue (most of the time, at least)Cute girls and exposed navels are great, but my autism always comes back to this
>>291595808Iko is such a slut!
>>291598277Arisu will try to make a dramatic last purchase, only for Lemon to walk into the club room and buy it before he has a chance.
I thought this would be in this chapter but I guess it'll be the next one.

>>291595896How come she looks sluttier than in her regular school uniform?
WHAT THE FUCKING SHIT I THOUGHT WE WERE ON A HIATUS!?
>>291599769It was just on break last week. No idea why you assumed it was a hiatus, anon.
>>291599799spoilerfag said it was a hiatus so I just believed.
>>291599252Yes, because it’s reserved for my face.
>>291599252>>291599850Now now guys, no need to fight, there's more than enough room for the two of you there
Show them who's the boss, Rikka chan.
Nene, for you the world turns.

>>291595808ABSOLUTE HUSSY BEHAVIOR
>>291600714is iko the miku from this manga?
>>291600714The Rikkafags get angry and the Nobuschizos sperg out when you remind them of their standing, anon. Especially the Nobuschizos.
>>291600686Cute!
>>291600759Yes.>>291600852This “standing” is meaningless because it’s just popularity in Japan. In /a/ threads the popularity is pretty much the exact reverse.
>>291595808Oh no, anon's daugther likes being a slut!
>>291601047Eh it's more like Shinobu > Iko > Rikka > Nene
>>291600852I don't care about rankings. My tunawife is number one in my heart.
Please sit on my face Rikka!!
Please stuff my face in your breasts Nene!
>>291595871>she's the easiest HE KNOWS
>>291601047>In /a/ threads the popularity is pretty much the exact reverse.And here's one of the aforementioned schizos repeating the same lie they've clung to since the poll results dropped, despite Iko provably having had the most active threads on the board of any heroine. The ranking here is very obviously Iko > Nene >>>>> Shinobu > Rikka.
Please crush my head in your thighs Shinobu!
>>291601079The only thread Shinobu has ever had reach bump limit without Nene propping it up was her flash forward chapter. And that thread consisted mostly of people saying she lost. Nobufags are unbelievably fucking delusional.
>>291601155Is this a joke? Look at this thread, everyone’s talking about Nene, then Shinobu, then Rikka, and then a few Iko ritual posts.
Please pee into my mouth Iko!
>>291601204>Look at this threadLook at the archive, you fucking retard. The most active Mayotuna threads we've ever had on /a/ were at the end of the School Trip Arc, during Iko's backstory and confession. It's just an objective fact that she holds the record for most active threads on the board.
>>291601297Because the others haven't had their backstory arcs yet.
>>291601079Lmao, everyone knows Nene is the most popular here. And Iko is second.
It seems Sexnobu's impending victory has riled up the shitposters.
>>291601326Rikka had her backstory arc less then 30 chapters into the manga, dipshit. The threads were so successful because people love Iko. They just don't generally talk about her as much outside of her chapter threads.
guys... let's all get along...
how are we feeling nenebros?
>>291601428Why would I try to get along with Nobuschizos? I want to see them suffer and mock them for their delusions.
>>291601328Sir, please don't appropriate my filenames for shitposting.
>>291601326Agree. Where's my LoliNobu?
What are the losers gonna do when they realize they can´t have a chad billionaire astronaut?
>>291601489NTA, but it's a fucking Rikka chapter. What else do you expect people to do but shitpost?

>>291602066She's gotta collect what little victories she can before she gets BTFO'd by Arisu not choosing her.
>>291602124rude and uncalled foralso delusional rikka is obviously the apollo
>>291602188that is shinobu
>>291602188Shut the fuck up, Rikkajeet.
>>291602211Why do you think it's Shinobu?
>>291602211Shinobu was ass at broadcasts tho, one might think our boy would remember if apollo stuttered during the show
>>291602262most special moments with bucky and the meta narrative supports her
>>291602299Shinobu only really stutters when reading from a script. Apollo's broadcasts weren't scripted. They were stream-of-consciousness conversations with Arisu. I don't think Shinonu is Apollo, but I don't really see that as being a disqualifier for her either.
>>291602352So no actual, intra-narrative evidence? I mean I expected that, but I'm still hoping that one day at least one of you fags will have an answer more substantive than "muh meta".
If anyone tells you that Shinobu is Apollo because of the meta, he is simply a complete retard.
>>291602415Shinobu isn’t Apollo, but meta arguments are the only ones worth discussing because the story itself is necessarily not going to provide any serious evidence argument until the actual reveal.
>>291602415I mean I'm not even discounting that it could be correct. I'm sure Igarashi is perfectly capable of that level of hackery. But it sure doesn't leave much fucking room for discussion compared to the other heroines.
>>291602415she's just a red herring
>>291602124>before she gets BTFO'd by Arisu not choosing her.Whoah! So she'll write the best songs ever.
>>291602473>the story itself is necessarily not going to provide any serious evidence argument until the actual reveal.Why would you assume that? If you re-read Gotoubun, you'll find tons of little hints sprinkled throughout the manga hinting at Yotsuba being the bride. There's an ongoing storytime right now on /a/ where you can see it play out in real time. Why would Igarashi be afraid of giving real hints when this series is very obviously inspired by Gotoubun?
>>291602517That's Rikka. Shinobu is just... out of place. She's a mono romcom heroine in a harem whodunnit whose career pursuits can't even meaningfully feature as part of the narrative the way the other three can. She's honestly a mess.
Do you think Igarashi has decided already who is Apollo? But then has he decided Apollo will win? Maybe things won't go that way. Or maybe he'll turn whoever he decides will win into Apollo. All of them have enough clues.
>>291602583>She's a mono romcom heroine in a haremie the winner
>>291602547I’ve never read Gotoubun, so fine, maybe I’m probably bad at seeing these “hints in hindsight” stuff. Maybe the Gotoubun experts can chime in on which tuna is racking up the Apollo hints then?
>>291602547Yotsuba was lolikano but there was no reason for lolikano to be the winner. Negi was just a hack.Seo randomly chose one as the winner in cafe goddesses without any hints pointing at her. He just went with a popularity poll winner and the MC had no reason for it. Another hack.
>>291602613>But then has he decided Apollo will win?Apollo has always been the endgame. People who still argue otherwise are either memeing or retarded. And yes, I'm pretty confident he's had Apollo's identity in mind from the start. Or at the very least has a couple of options with Rikka serving as a red herring to distract from them.
>>291602547I mean, it's easy in retrospect, but all of them got their moments, like Nino confession, so i'm pretty sure at the beginning even the author didn't know who's going to win.But because japs have shit taste Ichika didn't
>>291602679Iko. By a lot. >>291602693Yotsuba being lolikano had nothing to do with her winning. It's never ever said whether not not Fuutaro actually figured it out. I mean, he didn't even really care following his second interaction with "Rena". The identity of lolikano/the bride was always meant to be a mystery for the readers, not Fuutaro. Apollo's identity in the other hand is very much a mystery for Arisu as much as the readers.
>>291602699Nah, Yotsuba knew who he was from chapter 1, that was her hint.
>>291602699Yotsuba was planned to be the winner even when Negi was writing the original one-shot. The only reason she wasn't first girl is because his editor talked him into making it Itsuki instead so that she could serve as a red herring.
>>291602827WTF so Itsuki's character was just... used?
>>291602901She didn't even got to confess.
>>291602827I always thought it was telling that in the original anime annoucement Ayaneru was going to voice all 5 quints. But then they said that was too much to do for a single seiyuu, so we got Ayaneru as Yotsuba. I mean the final voice cast was stacked for sure, maybe more so than any harem anime ever, but Ayaneru ending up with Yotsuba was like keeping the main voice actress with the main role.
>>291602901Anon, that's every non-winner girl in these pseudo-harems.
>>291602901Even when the manga was being serialized, plenty of people clocked her as being a red herring from the start. Then she had the least romantic development with Fuutaro throughout the series and it was really obvious by the last arc that she wasn't going to win. She did like him, but she was nowhere near as into him as her sisters, and she spent more than half the manga wing-womaning for Yotsuba instead of competing for Fuutaro.
>>291602583Nobu's career plan means she gets to keep him during college while the others are busy with their careers.Also her career is the one to cause least controversy if she marries or has a kid.I do want to mess her up.
>>291602951>maybe more so than any harem anime everI would say Oreimo holds that distinction, but these days it's probably Hyakkano. Its cast is obscenely stacked. I've seen nips call it a hangout for the best seiyuu in the industry.
>>291602951Itsuki a cute eveen in Chino form.
>>291602999The only one that could really cause a problem is Iko. VTubers are still incredibly idol-adjacent in Japan, but there are also agencies that have no rules against dating. It's just that even VTubers within those agencies still tend to keep their romantic lives on the down low. Rikka is just a garden-variety musician. Her getting married wouldn't be a problem at all. As for Nene, seiyuu get married and announce it publicly all the time. It's not comparable to how it was even 10 years ago for them.
>>291603008OreImo has a very similar main girl cast. I personally like Ayaneru more than Saori, plus Inori is my favorite, so I think the quints still beat out Ore Imo. Hyakkano is like a revolving door of seiyuu so it's hard to compare, as you say. But it's produced some really good OPs/EDs.
>>291601862What is a Lemon? A miserable little pile of secrets!
>>291602901She had like zero game in the entire manga. I was surprised why was she even part of the final choice.
>>291603135Suggesting that it's a revolving door kind of implies that the seiyuu just come and go. Obviously that's not the case with Hyakkano. They're permanent members of the cast. And the cast in question is an outrageous mix of industry titans and spectacular young talent. They just casually scooped fucking Rie Kugimiya to play a lolibaba because they could. Although at this point I'm skeptical that the anime is going to continue, so they may have gotten her knowing that she would only appear in a few episodes.
>>291595967>Use any means necessary, including degrading yourself and whoring yourself out to the smelly idolfags, in order to succeed in the entertainment industry.Is this really the lesson Igarashi wants to teach WSM's impressionable readers? How do her fags feel about this?
>>291603203One thing I'll give Negi credit on is that I do believe Fuutaro was being sincere when he said he loved all five of the girls, Itsuki included. She was really close to him and his family, after all. He just chose Yotsuba because she was the one who kept him grounded. They were all viable candidates (although Ichika would have been a hard sell after she snek'd out in Kyoto).
>>291603232I mean, he's not lying to them. That's the cold reality of the Japanese entertainment industry.
>>291603232It’s completely unpleasant and humiliating for Rikka to simply resign herself to fitting into that trash, I think that’s a shitty message from Igarashi.
>>291603541Whoring herself out in slutty outfits is the only benefit she brings to the manga at this point. Accept that that's what she's for.
>>291603628But that was supposed to be Nene’s niche. At this rate Rikka and Nene are going to end up swapping roles.
>>291603672Nene's fan service has never been treated the way Rikka's is. The whole appeal of slutting Rikka up is they she finds it mortifying. Also Nene has already overtaken Rikka's niche as the biggest tease. She's just better at it.
This is Nene thread now.
>>291603541Yeah, I just don't give a shit about this manga anymore, Rikka used to be my favorite, but now she looks pathetic and makes me cringe.
>>291603833>skin indentation>tummy peak>hint of cleavage>determined face with a slight blushMerci!
>>291603956That means you'll stop reading it, right anon? Surely you aren't so pathetic that you'll hate read this innocuous harem manga and bitch about how much you hate how your best girl is written every time she gets a new chapter, right?
>>291603742That’s because Nene was designed from the start to be sexualized, unlike Rikka, who had a serious behavior, which is why it feels more humiliating and demeaning for a character like Rikka.
>>291604058I said she was my favorite, but she isn't anymore, I don't care about any character in this manga anymore, I just want this piece of trash to end once and for all.
May the most denigrated & humiliated girl win!
>>291604110They were all drawn to be sexualized from the start, anon. Igarashi loves fan service. That's why like half of the spreads in the manga are dedicated to it. Rikka's gimmick is just that she gets embarrassed about it. Gap moe, and all that. >>291604166So you'll stop reading the manga, right?
>>291604212No. Even though I ended up disappointed by the direction Igarashi is taking with Rikka, I still think she is Apollo and Arisu's wife. So, I’ll be there to watch everyone lose their minds, since it seems like everyone here hates her and is quick to dismiss her as a red herring.
>>291604315I see. Sorry about the traumatic brain damage, anon. That must be rough.
>>291604194So, Lemon?
>>291604373FYI all of Reddit and Twitter and discord are laughing at you idiots for willfully ignoring all the obvious proof that Rikka is Apollo and instead thinking that the already disproven Iko even has a chance at being Apollo.
>>291602827>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 itYotsuba treated Fuutarou and her sisters like a piece of shit. There was also barely any character development or build-up. The editors stopped handholding Negi halfway through, which revealed that he was actually a bad writer.But is Yotsuba the worst winner ever? Yes, she is. There were so many problems regarding how she won. First of all, none of the hints were ever in her favor, throughout the story, there were barely any meaningful or romantic moments between her and Fuutarou. Secondly, it comes down to how she was written, from start to finish, she is the exact same person. Nothing changed, and flashbacks aren't character development. Even in the last volume, despite winning, she's still a doormat. She couldn't even refuse when the others wanted to pull off one last quints game, or even when they wanted to tag along on the honeymoon.Finally, regarding who she is as a character, ever since it was revealed that she was Lolikano, all of her actions make sense, but in the worst way possible. She kept her distance from Fuutarou because she couldn't keep her "promise," which is incredibly stupid. Then, she dragged Itsuki into the drama by forcing her to dress as Rena to manipulate him. Not to mention all of her lies, the fact that she was Lolikano was never even revealed to him. Then there's the Bell Kisser situation, which was completely half-assed. Imagine not revealing to your boyfriend of five years that you took his first kiss while disguised as your sister. It doesn't matter if it was an accident, the intention to kiss him was still there. Which brings us back to the point that Yotsuba didn't deserve to win and any "foreshadowing" didn't justify her winning.
>>291604412>all the retards in places where retards famously congregate think they're smart for recognizing the most obvious clues imaginable in a mystery mangaI fail to see why you would bost about this.
>>291604473Boast*
>>291604412>already disproven IkoI think the only reason Iko can win is if she does so by popularity but even so I'm interested in what you mean by this.
Even if Rikka doesn't end up being Apollo, I'm sure Shinobu will be, in the unlikely event that happens, Ikofags and Nenefags, just give up.
>>291595896>>291595929>>291595967aidoru rikka my belovedbrb buying the remaining tickets for her concert
>>291598401her hips look thicc in that pic
>>291604501Nenefags definitionally have given up nearly right from the start. One continues to read because she is a goddess regardless of her foregone loss.
>>291604496That retard probably thinks that Iko considering being a VTuber in her flashback somehow contradicts Apollo considering other voice-related careers besides that. That's usually what people bring up to insist that Iko is "disproven". Which is the height of irony coming from a Rikkafag, given that Rikka would be disproven by that same logic. After all, she already wanted to be a singer in her flashback from the same time period. That aside, Iko has a shitton of hints and can easily win outside of just being popular.
>just give up nenefagsI smell fear. I smell it the stinky fear emanating from a rikkafag.
>>291598425for me Rikka's is the one who usually has the best outfits followed by shinobu, nene's is alright and as for iko she has her own style which is something im not particularly fond of
Gosh, even her eating in the background is enough for me to smile.
>>291604641I unironically think Nene has a better shot than Rikka if for no other reason than the fact that Igarashi obviously loves her.
>>291603222If there's more seasons, each girl will probably have less lines per season.Anyway, any chances the tunas get an S2?
>>291604375They don't humiliate her enough.
>>291598401Isn't that just an illustration?
>>291604748Chances are 100% because WSM manga pretty much always get at least two cours from the start. S2 was confirmed as soon as S1 ended, but it was already known before then to be a 2 cour production. Not sure why you'd care, though. S1 was awful. Also seiyuu are paid by episode, not by line. If they so much as breathe audibly in the background, they get paid the same amount as if they give a lengthy monologue.
>>291604808Igarashi pretty frequently posts unfinished illustrations from upcoming chapters on Twitter. That one's probably going to be in next week's chapter.
>>291604693shinobu is his favorite ikoTARD
>>291604863I'm sure your mentally ill brain legitimately believes that, Imran.
>>291604444>quads of quadruple truth shitting on yotsubanot sure how i feel about this
>>291604929Mogged by quad quads confirming that she won.
Honestly, I don't know why people (mostly non-nene-enjoyers, funnily enough) say that Igarashi really loves Nene. Her being his twitter avatar and sharing a birthday with him smell more of a deliberate misdirection than anything else; he also clearly enjoys drawing all the other girls too, so that's not meaningful either.
>>291605077That's funny because I'm very much a Nene enjoyer and I can't fathom how people don't think he loves Nene. Also calling shit like him having her as his Twitter avatar and sharing his birthday "misdirection" is just a fucking weird take considering that's entirely outside of the manga. The actual, obvious misdirection is (presumably) Rikka taking every opportunity to all but say outright that she's Apollo.
>>291604979>cant even argue back so he just defaults back to "durrr hurrr she woooon dur durr"
>>291605182>he thinks his post was worth reading
>>291605232>he thinks he can read.
>>291605239Ironic.

>>291605269Idol otaku are truly the most repulsive, disgusting creatures to have ever existed in this rotten ball of rock and water.
>>291604863Igarashi has a habit of drawing Nene being extra cute.
>>291605132I think it's careless to ignore an author's activities and believe they don't relate to his works. But if such things aren't relevant (for or against her case), I don't see what else one can furnish as evidence of Igarashi's love for her. He gives as much if not more passion to the other tunas, after all.>The actual, obvious misdirectionThere can be more than one girl towards whom he wants to misdirect attention.
>>291605353Nene has more individual fan service than the other heroines, and one could even argue that from volume 1 she's been given the largest number of striking illustrations in the manga. I wouldn't be surprised if she's also had the most solo two page spreads. Yes, Igarashi obviously enjoys drawing all of the heroines. But even people who don't like Nene have pointed out that he seems to have a fixation on illustrating her in ways that stand out more frequently than the others. She's also the only one he's drawn entirely nude on her own. Didn't have any reason to. He just wanted to.
>>291605430>Nene has more individual fan service than the other heroinesTrue, but one could attribute that to her being the fan service heroine (which she is).>one could even argue that from volume 1 she's been given the largest number of striking illustrations in the manga>he seems to have a fixation on illustrating her in ways that stand out more frequently than the othersInteresting, I never got that impression. If anything, Rikka and Shinobu come to mind as leading in this category.
>>291605540Igarashi REALLY likes using Nene's twintails in creative ways. He's been doing it since the book kiss panel in chapter 1. I don't think he ever shows this much creativity with any of the other heroines' designs. I think he just has fun drawing her in a way that he doesn't with the other three.
>>291605599>This is when Arisu realised that Nene is Apollo.Imagine the meltdown.
>>291605599Fair enough, but none of the other heroines' hair really lends itself to such things. (Which is one reason why twintails are such an awesome hairstyle.)
>>291605807Arisu already thought Nene was Apollo at least 4 chapters prior to that happening. If she is Apollo, his big moment of realization was probably chapter 84. But he doesn't say until chapter 86 that he thinks it's her. He even gets stunlocked by her talking about confessing to the person you love a few pages before picrel.
>>291605933That more or less took her out of the running, if you could even consider her still be in the race by then. It'd be another matter if that occurred near the manga's ending.
>>291595896My hotjk wife Rikka...
>>291606064The small hints of Arisu realising it are all there.
>>291595578Is there no higher res version of this image? I want appreciate it in HD...
>>291606177>appreciate itHmm...
>>291606177I only have Nene sorry.
Igarashi is a hack so Nene won't win.Igarashi is a hack so Shinobu won't win.Igarashi is a hack so Iko won't win.Igarashi is a hack so Lemon won't win.Who is left?
>>291606353Only a Yamabuki can be worthy of another Yamabuki.
>>291606177Yes, from the raw magazine rips
>>291606429why does iko always get the lamest outfits...
>>291596165>I'm done trying to act cool>Now I'll act like a slut instead10/10 character development.
>>291606418A Yamabuki can easily handle 2 Yamabukis.
>>291606448She thinks her clothes are cute!
>>291606261>>291606429POUTING NENE IS SO CUTE
>>291606448Because she's a chuuni goofball.
>>291606448Since she's the naturally cutest and best girl she has to be handicapped with lame outfits otherwise it wouldn't even be close to a fair competition.
>>291606448Penguin costumes are cuuuuute!The other 3 costumes are hot though.
>Rikka thread >no one talking about RikkaIt's never not going to be hilarious.
>>291600714OCD Poll-kun... Every fucking thread
>>291607032Actually I'm the one who usually posts the poll when schizos deny that Iko is popular/pretend Rikka or Shinobu (usually Shinobu) is more popular. That anon did it unprompted. I reapect his temerity.
>>291603302You need to consume more Japanese media. Plenty of successful artists dress normally and don't rely on fanservice to appeal to mainstream audiences rather than a bunch of schizo creeps. Ever since the anime ended, this manga has gone full-on fanservice
>>291604315You were reasonable until you spouted your Apollo nonsense
>>291607208>Ever since the anime endedWhat the fuck are you talking about, retard-kun? This manga has always had frequent fan service.
>>291607016No need to keep talking about how she's pleasing old men for ticket sales.
>>291604412Independent_Guard291
>>291607268Nenerriere
>>291607319Holy shit I think you're right. He's in their thread complaining and it's definitely the same fucking faggot. He's also the one getting downvoted which is even more hilariously ironic. Gonna have to remember this retard's username at I can mock him in the future. Fuck you for making me look at Reddit, though.
Very cute Rikka chapter, one of the better ones for sure.
>>291595967Rikka sure is cute when she's being slutty.
>>291595967Rikka sure is slutty when she's being desperate.
>>291595967Rikka sure is desperate when she's being cute.
>>291595967Rikka sure is
Rikka is, therefore Rikka is boring.
>>291603302>>291607208>2 retards fighting
>>291608653I do!
>>291608653I find myself increasingly believing that Nene is the dark horse who's actually gonna win it all. At the very least I would respect the shit out of Igarashi if he actually went for it.
>>291608734I want whatever you're smoking
>>291609130Cheap cigarettes I buy at the local Sunoco, mostly. Hard to beat $4.75 a pack these days.
sell me on nene
>>291609192If this is insufficient, you're probably just gay.
>>291609192If you have to be sold on her, then I think you're better off choosing one of the other three. She's just a side heroine.
>>291609265No one hates Nene more than Nenefags, I swear. At least the Ninifags of old fought with the full force of schizophrenia and fuming mad waifufaggotry to uphold their best girl. You fucking pussies need to toughen up. You wouldn't have lasted a day shilling Chihiro in the Kaminomi threads. And Chihiro fucking won.
>>291609335I've never been one to engage in waifu wars, sorry.
>>291609418Pathetic.
>>291609335Whether a not a girl wins should be irrelevant to whether you like the girl. Chihiro wasn’t my favorite but it was so fucking obvious she was going to win, which made it so fucking annoying that her haters couldn’t get it through their thick skulls that their personal biases don’t fucking matter to the story.
Felt weird being a haquafag knowing that she never had a chance but therefore not caring about who was going to win in the end.
>>291609335I want Nene to win but I've never cared about fighting for any girl to win other than my one and only actual waifu, who is not a girl from this series
>>291609965>my one and only actual waifuDo share with the class.
>>291609892Seeing Chihiro win for all the reasons she was obviously going to fucking win, alongside seeing the seething shitstorm that it caused, is still probably my fondest memory on this board. Partly because Chihiro WAS my favorite.
>>291601428Arguing is our way of getting along.
>>291609991Your mom
>>291602693Akane was the best girl, so it's okay.
>>291610134Best at being the worst
>>291610134I agree with the sentiment, but Seo could have at least had Hayato give a legitimate reason for picking her in the end. Not that I ever really expected him to deliver on that. He wouldn't be Seo if he weren't a fucking troll. Umine seems to have a much more obvious main heroine than Goddess Café did, though (only retards fooled themselves into thinking Ouka was the main heroine). So I can't imagine he'll decide that one based on poll results.
>shitkka chapter.Isleep.
>>291609418I've been at it for years.
>>291610134She was the most boring. You must be a Rikkafag.
>>291602613>Do you think Igarashi has decided already who is Apollowho ever editorial tells him to make it
>>291610447This is a WSM manga, anon. Kodansha has never once hesitated to let their mangaka choose their own winner just to placate readers. Otherwise Miku's name would be Uesugi.
All girls have too many in-your-nose clues. I'm sure Igarashi hasn't decided who is Apollo yet.
>>291610675Please cite some overt evidence for Shinobu. Better yet, do so without mentioning the confession service from 120 chapters ago.
>>291610675it's either shinobu or rikkamaybe iko if he pulls a seo
>>291610701>shinobuSee>>291610690
>>291595896I was hating on Rikka for a while now but her slutty behavior is finally making her a rival for Iko
>>291610675You’re looking at it backwards. You need to start from the Apollo scenes and see which girls have the same personality as Apollo. After that there’s only one possibility, and it’s really obvious.
>>291604693Nene also has a great chance because of her relationship with Buki. When he’s with Rikka he’s never nearly as flustered as he is with Nene
>>2915973975toubun
>>291611014I think it's fair to say that none of the other heroines are able to shake him up the way Nene does. There's the scene with Rikka and Shinobu using his given name for the first time, but even that was the result of Nene laying the groundwork. She definitely evokes the strongest reactions out of him.
>>291611014>>291611075lol shinobu is the only girl who gets him to react differently
>>291611033Gotoubun is like the opposite, every girl is unlikable. Ichika is a snek, Nini is a bitch, Meeku is boring, Yotsuba is annoying and Eatsuki is a fatass.
>>291611147How's the weather in Jakarta?
>>291595732whats the pointthere will be at least 3 losers at the end
>>291611443That's how these horse race manga work, anon. That's the whole appeal of them. Sounds like you'd be better if reading something else.
>>291611147Maybe when Shinobu gets him to react like this>>291605599 you’d have a point
>>291611567Nobuschizos still claim Arisu succumbing to heat stroke was actually him reacting to Shinobu. They can't be reasoned with. Most of them can't even speak English.
>>291611156Honestly, all the tunas are too nice and lovable, it makes the story feel a bit too safe. They should spice the story up by actually backstabbing each other like the quints did.
>>291607083Nene is the one really gaining popularity. It wouldn't surprise me if she's #1 or #2 now. Iko hasn't been relevant in a while.
>>291611995I actually think Igarashi was aware of how low her popularity was even before the results of the polls were published, and started making a conscious effort to make her more popular during the School Trip Arc. Both in terms of deepening get characterization and using her as a vehicle for fan service even more than she already was. I'm curious what a pool would look like currently, but I imagine Iko's lead wouldn't be as big at the very least.
>>291611995Brother, my girl is niche, and that's fine. I don't know why you guys care so much about popularity. It's not as if this is some live service shitfest where a character's screentime is a function of the masses liking her.Nene is Nene, and that's all that matters.
>>291612046Man I don't know if you've seen what's been going down on literally the entire internet recently. But a whole lot of people the whole world over have been learning these past few weeks that they actually like tsundere characters after all, and that they most definitely are not as niche as some people would have you believe they've become. Nene isn't niche. Mayonaka Heart Tune is. People still love tsundere heroines, though. They just needed a Slytherin-shaped reminder.
>>291612107>Slytherin-shaped reminder.It's spreading.
>>291612107It's nice fuel for fanfic and art, but Malfoid has little bearing here. One can simply look at what the primary audience thinks of the heroines for each and every chapter, and nothing indicates that Nene's made any headway there. I'm at peace knowing Nene is the last of the lot, and I wish others were too instead of trying to craft some silly narrative.
>>291595701It has no progress but it’s still one if the best romcoms around
>>291612443Nene being less popular means I have to share her with less men, so it's all good.
