Chigau Miyahara Omae Janai! - Ch. 50

and now the girls for the perfect polycule

Harem flag set! Let's goooooo!

 

[Weoooo]

Hmm. This seems like an odd choice. The story has basically been screaming this whole time that he and Miyahara are basically made for each other; it's him realizing that there's something between them. "Why not both" undercuts the idea here.

Thanks for the chapter.

It just seems to be a way to inject some tension before the obvious ending. But maybe we'll be in for a surprise! (Almost certainly not)

Not with three chapters left, he can't.

They just hate harem because they like cheap drama and the "will they? won't they?". They treat "harem" romance more like a competition to see which ship is canon rather than considering the actual romance writing. And to be honest, most pseudo-harem romance sucks, because they just throw away chapters of development with no proper resolution because the author can't afford to piss off readers because they get too attached to their ship. And if they do end in monogamy, it's in a way that generates the most mixed reception as possible because they're too wuss to write a proper conclusion that gives justice to every character involved. IDGAF if it doesn't end in a harem, at least just not end it on one chapter and screw everyone else. I've only read one pseudo romance where the MC actually makes it clear that he's only interested in the main girl and rejects everyone else along the story, and it was good because the author knows what she's doing and give proper resolution to multiple routes and relationships. The rest can go to shit for all I care.

The entire "harem" thing in romance mangas is really just the author trying to create a "ship" war which made the quality of romance mangas go to shit because the author would focus more on milking the audience rather than to tell an actual romance story. People who read romance for the ships don't really care much about the actual romance plot, since most of them would make excuses when a love interest does something unhinged / awful for the sake of love or find any material that they can use to legitimize their ship (mostly for antagonizing other readers). Trust me, I've been reading the comments on a bunch of "harem" romance and it doesn't really end well.

There's nothing even wrong with true-harem endings as long as it is properly developed. And it's not really bad writing just because it satisfies every reader except the ones looking for drama and ammunition for their ships. Webtoon Character Na Kang Lim ends in a satisfying harem and it's considered as one of the best romance comics of all time. It's all comes down to good writing and romantic development. IDGAF if it's not "realistic" because romance is "wish-fulfillment" at its core. As long as it is well written, I don't care on how you end the romantic teasing, at least make it feel earned and not a cop-out or divisive.

Mangas that end in harems are way better written than the ones that don't because the author gives a shit on fleshing out every single love interest and make the harem feel earned rather than given. And honestly, true-harem romances tend to have the best waifus and have the most well-written MCs in general. There's just something about pseudo-harem romance characters that just pisses me off because everyone involved has to be roped into cheap and forced drama for no reason.

"What about the bittersweet feeling?" Yeah, you can do that and not make it suck ass. If you somehow can't write multiple LIs in a romance plot where the MC will reject them in a way that gives them proper closure to pursue the one he/she loves, then you deserve the backlash. Na Kang Lim is able to do it with her ex, I don't see why this isn't possible.

if love triangle where both girl are competing with each other, the i prefer no harem ending but if both girl also best friend with each other and wanted the best for MC and their friendship, i prefer harem as if they can accept other girl as their best friend, no reason to not accept them as shared partner with MC right.

there is manga where Otaku MC with 2 gyaru that also good friends for each other that make it far more better to have harem/throple ending than no harem end. Mobuseka also did it well on Olivia and Angelica almost yuri like bond and make both of them choose to be with Leon.

And here I thought he was being selfish for covering his ears like that, then he drops a very mature take on his reasoning.
His methods were childish but his reasoning was mature.

I keep saying this, but this manga is about Miyahara's harem, not Arima's! XD
She's the one that keeps bringing the "Both" foreshadowing!

 

[lenovoaxioo]

gah i switch side why
its obvious miyahara win

Broo 🤣

 

[Sollertia_]

Why they gotta twist the knife in Yukihara like that...

 

[White_cloud]

bro, you still have enough time in your life to be able to date both of them at least once

[Carn109]

Why not both?

 

[SpecialProjectY]

Yukihara gave up on Arima seeing how they interact with each other and Maki gave her a push by telling that Arima is interested in her but is too shy to confess.

Miyahara either doesn't realize her innocent friendship looks like something more or is acting like that intentionally.
I'm voting for the former because there wasn't an actual romantic interest from Miyahara carefree attitude yet.

Either way, Arima does like them both, but as mentioned above one has indeed feelings for him while others doesn't have romantic interest.

Yukihara is adorable, but even if you have fun time, being with someone who doesn't share romantic love is just a waste of time.

Thanks for the scanlation!
