Genuinely how no idea how Junna is going to overcome this one. I haven't done the math yet but wouldn't it be almost impossible to get more than 10 people safe?

for one girl to survive 7143 people need to vote for her for 14 days straight. they can just bot the votes lowkey

Based on last panel, might be time for Junna to work with the producer to nip this annoying pos in the bud.

This knockoff Issho Arakawa is going to get what's coming to him

glad i'm not the only one who saw the resemblance. but issho has a lot more swag as an antagonist

What a stupid move. Cutting 50 surviving contestants down to 10, that's like halves the planned episode count.

Kudos to the artist for being able to draw a genuinely old-man-looking old man alongside all these young people.

Said old man however misunderstands the nature of an idol fan. The idol journey is what pulls at our hearts. I bet the solution to saving more of the girls will be just gathering more voters somehow, but it's still gonna be brutal. (I hope the ojou-sama survives.)

 

[dumbziri]

What if they just kill him

 

[FlorianGran]

Why does every chairman character look like that lol.

 

[Cosmism]

Ah yes, let us drive the TV show that makes a ton of money every time it airs ever more rapidly towards its conclusion. That'll definitely be lucrative!

I do have to say however, that this is a rather inventive way to speed up the progression of the manga.

 

[kaptenkeren]

can we make a heart attack, somehow?

he's old. it won't be out of place, right?
right?

Can't. He eat lots of McDonald's but still slim, strong and healthy. Lol.

Hack the app and give everyone a billion points all at once right at the end. The totals'll be invalidated, of course, but having to extend the voting period will give Shijou a chance to reset everything and put the goal back at a more reasonable number.

Also, if I'm remembering correctly, aren't the girls not supposed to be allowed to know what's going on in the world outside the show right now? How are they going to keep that up with a livestream? Is there just no chat or something? Or is this just an exception to that usual rule?

Genuinely how no idea how Junna is going to overcome this one. I haven't done the math yet but wouldn't it be almost impossible to get more than 10 people safe?

Junna's estimate is based off of the official channel's current subscriber count. There's no reason to believe that number can't be raised. More subscribers=more points for everyone.

Taka tv unc literally axeing the show
taking the number down this much is pretty much speedrunning the show

Genuinely how no idea how Junna is going to overcome this one. I haven't done the math yet but wouldn't it be almost impossible to get more than 10 people safe?

only if the math never changes over the fourth round period. but if the TV guy gets what he wants, engagement will go up and so will the total number of available votes.

live-streaming is also perfect for this because viewers get instant interaction and streamers get instant feedback. so the potential to grow a following is greater than with your average contestant’s thirty seconds in a weekly episode. so for someone like Junna, the conditions are right for her to finally show off her talents

 

[ghost9639]

junna's probably been making bot accounts for years specifically for this moment

thanks for the translation

thats just stupid, "im old and i suffered so i can get this far so everyone else should too"

Alas, that’s how a lot of people think IRL too. Just another reason why letting old twits who refuse to break from their rigid perspectives run everything is a bad idea.
