Boku no Kanojo wa Dekkawaii - Ch. 8

[mtfunky]

just realized I’ve never seen menstruation explicitly discussed in a manga, at least not as part of the plot

Love that height gap.

You know, I think this is the first time I've seen periods mentioned in a romance manga without turning it into a gag

Happens in "Arakure Ojousama wa Monmon Shiteiru" as well (female author btw), but I don't remember if the guy finds out...........I do remember we are multiple chapters behind in translation...

My boy showed up. I love this kind of development.

The part where MC had to cover up her accident hit too close to home though.

Pseudo Harem was fire though, good writing

Summer 2024 Fridays were unforgettable. It starts with Days with My Stepsister, then Pseudo Harem then The Café Terrace and Its Goddesses S2.

True, it gave me a new level of diabetes.

That anime, this manga I read and My Clueless First Friend and As Miss Beelzebub Likes.

Love that height gap.

Reminds me of Kaede Sekime and Riku Takadono.

Amane is a short king chad like Riku Takadono.

I think they meant it more like how a lot of romcoms introduce a fuckton of other romantic interests while obviously having a main one. And basically will never go for the full harem route (keeping it as a "pseudo harem") but just have the other romantic intrests there for the entire story.

Fair observation. I believe this trope is actually called "supporting harem" if I recall correctly.

No hate to pseudo harem, good romcom. Don't want my romcom cred tarnished

Very much what I meant, I detest the whole lets introduce a million love interests solely for audience to turn into a faction war and then never be brave enough to choose someone else. 100 gfs is fine because it actually delivers although I dropped it once it started including middle schoolers and adults.

Gigachad couple

The author of QuintessentialQuints is married as well and thought it was a good idea for the wedding to the main couple to have the 4 others girls interested in him 5 years later still wanting to be with him and for the honeymoon to be spent with them, solving their problems instead of.....you know...THE WIFE.

WTF... that did actually happen?
I hadnt actually thought it would be the kind of series that would cover the main couple getting married,
but damn, that you said totally killed any interest I may have.

 

[erintesden]

Nah you see... Reiji knows exactly what he's doing.
It never was about writing "believable" relationship or progressing the story.

He basically has two goals. First: stretch out the series for as far as possible, so he keeps making money off it. Understandable. RaG is his main cash cow. And since so many people still reading it and buying volumes, he can do whatever he wants with it. Plus he clearly rage baiting people into discussing it- and it works!!

Second... it's not a secret he's obsessed with Chorizo, a character he himself created. He views her as a perfect woman. So the last thing he wants is to see her with another man. Even in manga he writes!!! So he put himself at a stalemate, he can't progress the relationship and he can't end the manga. In the meantime he tries not to turn Chorizo into absolute villainess (he fails). So yeah, here's that.
Or maybe I am wrong and he actually can't write relationships.

I wonder... I love the theory that he is for real obsessed with Chizuru and has her as his waifu.
But in that case, does he really not feel weird about the way she writes her? The fact she is for real interested on Kazuya but still prefers for various reasons to reject him and keep working on dating random guys for money... I know I would feel uncomfortable as fuck knowing someone I like does that even if I know theres no intimacy involved.

That one is okay I guess. As in the end, the interest the other girls may have in the protagonist feels like either pure horniness or just comedic, especially compared to the obvious main girl who gets to date MC for real. So you can perceive the whole thing as just MC circle of friends who just happen to be mostly women.
Personally I prefer stuff like in the 100 Girlfriends, because the harme IS an harem, all the girls being with MC and theres no actual drama about MC having to choose or having the other girls losing the MC bowl

Author clearly has a cuckoldry fetish, makes a lot more sense when you factor that in

I know it's for the sake of the plot, but if you ever find yourself in this situation, instead of doing what Komi did (going behind Obinata while walking to cover her), give your GF your hoodie/sweater for her to wrap it around her body.

I'm really glad the author made a chapter like this, it adds more ground and realism to their relationship. They really behave like human beings.

Thanks for the TL!

Man, first date was already a difficult mission, and our boy rolled an extra side quest on top of it.

A breath of fresh air from a total trope stuff, really. This is something you'll have to face one day in a relationship. Good that it is brought up.
