Hajimete no Gal - Vol. 20 Ch. 191 - My First Big Breasts

[Zhou]

My remaining brain cells just died reading this chapter.

 

[MRpaisan]

I don’t think there has been any plot at all since they graduated High School to be honest.

I’m starting to wonder if the author is sabotaging the manga on purpose so that it gets axed instead of trying to wrap up the series. Maybe even the author is clueless on what kind of ending it should get, especially now when it has become so unbelievably unhinged.

Yeah sadly that does seem to be the case. Seeing as there's a lot that can be done with the story. 4 years of collage, and then marriage, and all sorts of stories in-between, but we just get this random crap about ghosts, and some mad scientist stories. Like yeah I don't think the author has any idea what they're doing. Honestly the only good point to this manga as of right now is the art is good. Other than that every thing else is not so good.

Every now and then I check and yep, I am confirmed in my decision to dropping this, to think there is so much other Manga that deserve a translation more than this:

https://mangadex.org/title/79dba6c7-cc1e-475c-971b-82898375d27b/komen-fuufu


But is not like anyone is entitled to a translation, if this what someone wants to translate, then so be it, is fan work, and I am thankful for the initiative.

This one should be picked up. I like the sinister-cute dynamic between the main couple.

 

[ysil69]

I gotta drop. This has become so fucking stupid.

 

[VerticalVectors]

This chapter? Disgusting.

But, anyway, there's still hope...maybe.View attachment 13104

This series is delivering it all! We went from mainstream normie sellout anime/manga to peak abstract art form.

What happens to the manga after the anime?

What happens to the manga after the anime?

The anime barely adapts anything from the manga and adds an anime original rival character for the final episodes.
Although the last couple of arcs were already terrible the original manga got the ending it deserved and that could've been the end of it. The sequel(college arc) is where it really went to shit: we get a mostly new side cast (old characters only get cameos) and the only old character that still has a strong presence is Iris the Ranko replacement. The harem nonsense is dropped which you'd think would mean they'll progress their relationship, but that doesn't happen at all and instead every arc makes me question why are they even still a couple. The big question the original manga left (what does Junichi want to do) is slowly getting answered and unsurprisingly it has little to do with Yukana who has her own career path. The only good thing is that the two new side girls aren't interested in Junichi: so that we have Iris who hates him for constantly (accidentally) harrasing her; Karin (the mangaka) who is more into Yukana and thinks MC is lame, he kind of became her social media manager; Gokomachi who actually is a tertiary character from the original manga that comes from Kyoto and is an heir to a wagashi shop(again making her someone closer to Yukana who is making western style confectionery) who happens to be his neighbor while in college. Unfortunately the core of the series is still the same and all it is used for is to write more and more convoluted ways for the main couple not to have sex. (Karin "dating" Yukana, Junichi pretending to date Gokomachi, Junichi using Yukana to promote Karin's manga twice, Junichi forgetting he has a girlfriend, whatever the fuck this arc is)

So it's essentially the same situation as with Fechippuru - Bokura no Innocent Love where the main couple got demoted to side characters/cameos and even lost the charm that made it popular in the first place(a lot of readers were angry about it...)?...

Junichi is still the main/pov character, this didn't change.
Yukana still is his girlfriend, but the chapters they feel/act like a couple you can count on your fingers; they still didn't have sex and he rarely ever fantasies about it anymore, there are long stretches of the manga where she doesn't show up and he is preoccupied with other girls, there usually is a plot reason for that, but I call bullshit: we don't see him put any effort to keep this relationship at all and everything we do see is initiated by Yukana. Latest chapters actually addressed this with Yukana getting pissed, he was neglecting her, even though they already had this conversation in the arc in which she "dated" Karin.

Yui and Shinpei from the original are studying at the same college as him, but Shinpei already evaporated and Yui is now a gag tier character (which is deserved after how she "lost" in the original) and shows up once in a while, but usually doesn't contribute anything meaningful.
Iris (studco president from the original) is studying at the same college as Yukana: they already felt really close during the later part of the original and it only continues to be the case, she is a less flashy replacement for Ranko.

Speaking of, Ranko exists and got two cameos: one in the arc where Yukana dates Karin where she gets a BSoD after hearing Yukana is dating another girl and another where she helps Yui with something(meaning they spend more time together then Ranko does with Yukana).
Nene got an arc where she gets to do something with her voice actress career, but that's about it.
Yuki still exists and showed up once.

Chapter name+ghostly possession made me expect that Junichi get temporarily turned into a girl

Why do you keep saying Karin "dating" Yukana? I just started the college part of the story and I wanted to look at the lastest chapter just because but then I see this. What the hell is like yuri ntr or something? Did Yukana cheat?Because if so im dropping this.

 

[sighoon]

It's not as if it were the first time the story is using yuri. No she doesn't cheat, but Junichi has Kazuya-esque daydreams about it. They go out once and do some stuff together while Junichi is spying on them. I'll stop spoiling here. The joke is that Junichi was kind of expecting a repeat of high school were he got multiple girls after him, but instead it's Yukana this time.

oh okay gotcha. Is Yukana completely straight or is she bisexual?

She has a suspicious amount of queer girls around her: Ranko, Iris, Karin, but nothing really outright stated. It is implied she and Iris did something lewd in chapter 163 though, so it's not impossible.

Welp that's just horrible. i just read 163 and it looks like Iris and Yukana probably did something sexual if not outright sex. That's cheating the way I see it and that sucks for the relationship for the two leads. Is there ever any follow up in later chapters from 163 to know what they might of did or no? (This was my last question sorry to keeping replying and bothering you, much appreciated)

 

[sighoon]

Nope, never mentioned again. I never was a fan of Iris and she always seemed suspiciously close with Yukana after her introduction, but never as close as this time. It would've been a twist if it's revealed that they've been a thing all this time behind the scenes.
