If elected prime minister of Japan, I would push forward a new law for romcom manga, "no takesies-backsies". Vote for me, or however this kind of thing works.
No, yeah, I know that term (thanks for the explanation, though). I just didn't know if the game they were making, which they referred to as a "social game" was a type of gacha game itself.
Desperately hoping for a rare, accurate depiction of the gacha game ("social game"? I don't quite understand all the terminologies) as a tool for evil, and normal, video game-ass video games as a product of passion and love.
Doubtful that's where it will go though.
I assume the Ankle Reapers are going to be some kind of take on Cinderella's prince, testing the feet of all the ladies in the land looking for who the glass slipper fits. Except they cut off the feet, because, sure, why not.
I figure this could drag on as long as the author/publisher feels it ought to, as long as Yuu gathers all 7 chaos Karins by the end.
I'd hazard a guess that when they were apart, Karin found that she had to show different sides of herself to different friend groups, and when there was overlap...
Oh, so it's not a "relatable blank slate guy standing up for himself" fantasy, it's more of a "actually secretly overpowered all along" kind of fantasy. That's alright then.
The frustrating thing is I can already reasonably predict that the harem will eventually resolve with him and Rua ending...
So like. We all figure Clover also has some kind of time travel advantage, right? It's not just the Clover motif, but that they're manipulating all this stuff going so far back.
Has it already been speculated that they're somehow also Yotsuha?
To save anyone a search, if they're here and not already following it, somehow, the serialized version (still ongoing as of January 2025) is here: https://mangadex.org/title/657ccfcc-5847-40f7-8859-5631eeeb3784/kakkoii-onnanoko-to-12-centi-no-yakusoku
