I was studying high school when a classmate recommended me this manga and that "the author really had the balls for making the couple flirt that hard"
I FUCKING
1.- got into university
2.- Finished a degree and a fucking thesis
3.- got a stable job
4.- planning to enter to a master's
AND THIS SHIT IS STILL THE FUCKING SAME WHAT THE FUCK BRO
THIS IS A MESS

Welcome to romance shounen mangas.
Can't have them end, that would cut off the revenue.

Typical woman

Initiates something and gets creeped out when the guy goes along with it

One way to waste a natural 20, Bakainu....

I'm surprised nobody has made this reaction pic yet.

The chapters that the English translation had as Chapters 97.5, 107.5, 120.5, 143.5, & 165.5 all got counted as full-on chapters in the volumes, and each time it happened, the following chapters became offset by an additional +1 in their volume chapter numbering (with the further slight complication that some of the latter ones of those were reordered - for example, in the volumes, what was chapter 120.5 in the English translation doesn't follow what was chapter 120 in the English translation - it follows what was chapter 117 (which, given the chapter offsetting mentioned earlier, regularly became chapter 119 in the volumes)).

It's far more complicated than that. The magazine numbering used to be more than fifteen behind the volume numbering. The numbering for this series was frankly completely stupid and there were at least three different ways it was officially numbered. The numbering was only synchronized between the magazine and volumes at the start of volume 16

thanks for chapter

I like that this character is constantly going from being incredibly based to the direct next second being a weirdo, it's so funny, but at least she knows that are his real feelings.

That's how it is with romance manga. The main couple can't progress too fast otherwise the entire manga will resolve and finish, so the side characters get all the nice development instead.

A story doesn't have to end with the couple progressing. "The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten" has the couple getting together in volume 5 of the LN. They're up to 12 volumes now I think.

As for this manga, the chapters summing up as "Anna wants to sleep with Seto, but he's terrified of intimacy oh no" has been extremely grating. Especially considering he promised he'd make an effort to prepare himself.

He hasn't. He cries about not making progress on his future, belly aches about Anjou in some way, then acts mopey instead of doing something about it. He's just shaping up to be an annoying character for me.

My man did so well that he almost scored.... but his shot hit the goalpost, bounced back and struck him in the head instead.....

The double doink

 

[OddCupOfCoffee]

Prediction: Toyoda will turn out to be the biggest freak in the sheets out of all the four main protagonists.

Y'know, I was gonna say Seto might be up there, but that probably isn't gonna be the case

He's just not putting up a mask.

Tbh, a lot of romcoms, even really popular ones like Kaguya, don't end with the main couple progressing.

Inuyama...doesn't she mean Nyayama?

Inunyama was right there!

PETPLAY CHAPTER

You know, I thought inu-yama might be more of a dog person….. get it?

I’ll see myself out.

Those are the exception though. The need to hold things in stasis because they need to milk it for endless serialization coupled with the weird belief that lots of writers (and not just in Japan) have this idea that becoming a couple is the end goal of the story and not just a checkpoint before other, equally interesting story possibilities open up. Also apparently Japanese audiences love comfy familiarity over trying something different, so once they're used to stories that don't progress they come to expect that to be the norm.

Everything combines to make so many series just get stuck in the black hole of non-progress.

Plenty of examples to the contrary. Like, Kaguya goes past the main couple becoming a couple, having sex, and pretty close to marriage, in fact (that one's mentioned in the Oshi no Ko cameo). Asahina Wakaba & Her Chubby-Chubby Boyfriend goes past the main couple breaking up and the female lead having a mental break. Etc.

Oh hey Asahina Wakaba reference. Ending was definitely rushed but was an alright read.

Yeah, chapter 12 is really one of the more powerful pieces in manga as a genre, I feel.
But I agree, the ending could use a couple more chapters of pure fluff.

I mostly felt the whole "Oh the class took care of your bullying situation behind the scenes in a single day by the way" was weird.
