Yancha Gal no Anjou-san - Ch. 170 - Chita-san Wants to Eat Potteto

[PlanOfInaction]

Just stringing the poor guy along when he has so many other options...

 

[Titanoberg]

2 chapters wasted on the worst character, who somehow became even worse in this chapter.

 

[AkodoRyu]

This chapter at least pinpointed Chii's issues more clearly, instead of just portraying her as an annoying 3rd wheel.

I'm also guessing we need to buckle up for more of her chapters since the other 2 couples have formed and she's the only one left in her Level 1 arc. We started getting way fewer Anjou/Seto chapters after they got together, and I suspect we will also get fewer Toyoda/Inuyama ones for a while.

Constant comment bitching aside...

I really am curious what the story with Chita is gonna be. Is she gay? Is she ace? Has she just literally never put much thought into anything other than food?

So far it really seems like she just doesn't want to be alone, regardless of who it is. Poor girl. Too relatable in that regard. Been down that road many times.

 

[PhoolCat]

Potteto :3

 

[jokerxhisoka]

dude...

 

[FinaruVictory]

This gag character needs something else to make her entertaining, like, I dunno, a medical emergency.

 

[matcap]

Everytime she says NTR someone with a room temp IQ thinks she’s actually gay.

Did you see the way she grabbed that girl's chin (a total stranger, mind you) and got all close while calling her 'my dear pussycat' and 'little kitten'?

Not saying she's completely gay, but anyone who thinks she's straight at this point isn't paying attention.

Also the 'Men are all jerks anyway' comment, along with the 'NTR' stuff, might be her joking around but, as the saying goes, a lot of truth is said in jest.

The Church of Potetto had their calling with this chapter

 

[Sanjit]

Oh, nice, a Chii chapter! Will people complain about it instead of talking about the actual chapter?

checks

...Yeah, no surprises here...


Dig aside, Anjou's face when Toyo confessed about her new boyfriend was pretty fun. Does she approve? I realise we never really saw her interact with Inuyama (maybe it's me who's forgot about it). What does she actually think about the guy? He's a friend of her boyfriend, but is that it?


And Chii's still afraid of being left alone. Ironicaly, it's probably on that point that Tokio could really shine.
Let's hope we'll se more progress of the two. Maybe it will go the green-eyed epiphany route for Chii?

Chii sympathiser, there’s like 10 of you. Please stop overanalyzing.

Honestly, I have to wonder how is it that the little foodie goblin turned out to be the one with the situational awareness of a houseplant??

Jokes aside, I think Tokio is beginning to realize that the foodie Goblin either can't or won't see him as anything romantic, which sucks for him, but it will give him the opportunity to pursue someone who appreciates him for who he is, not that he can be the Kobayashi to her Molly Schuyler...
(CONTEXT: Molly Schuyler is a professional competitive eater who has won the Annual Nathan's 4th of July hot dog eating contest at Coney Island)

everyone is complaining about chita but she has the most room for development and, if the author does it right, it could be an extremely strong arc for this manga. im thinking itll be her seeing more and more how popular he is and realizing that what she did wasnt just because of food but because she felt something

 

[chusetto]

Chii-chan is the true hero of this manga

 

[henman]

emotional damage from calling a teacher "mom" is immense.
when teacher trolls you about going to bathroom is also horrible.

wait a minute...this chapter will gather all potteto acolytes. It will become a crusade at this rate

 

[furtadopires]

One thing Dragon Quest Dai and Tokyo Ghoul re taught me, is that any "annoying" character can turn out to be awesome if the author knows how to properly develop it.

Her development could turn out to be very good once it stops to be a one-dimensional gag character, the question is how long the author will take to reach that.

She has the most room for development precisely for the reasons people complain about her for. That's not a good thing. We are 170 chapters in and she is fully established as a gimmick character; development now will be forced and frankly out of character considering how long we've known her for.

Not to mention, Tokio is also a dreary one-note character. He's only slightly less annoying than Chita due to being barely there. I think his character desperately needs development away from Chita, he seemingly exists in relation to her ingratitude towards him.

This chapter could have been an opportunity to give Chita a moment of seriousness and self-reflection, instead she learns nothing other than "Tokio might also have a life outside of me", which is a level of awareness one usually attains before attending school. Meanwhile Tokio just has his pitiful nose rubbed in his unrequited infatuation... Again.

I'm not asking for high culture here, my standards are not high, but this was a waste of a chapter.

Found them!

What a shitty cop-out

 

[Backto2122]

I can see why you called in the church of potteto to work on this.

Lol Chii has so many haters. Think she's just kinda childish, probably doesn't feel ready to mature yet, while her two bffs did.
