Thanks for the chapter!!!

Thanks for the chapter. Is it me or has even the art style changed drastically? Feels like they redesigned Shiki from the ground up. I'm starting to think the manga was taken over a new editor who has slapped the author around a few times and is basically rewriting the entire thing from the ground up, maybe even hiring new assistants to keep the story and author under control.

Yeah, this series feels like it's gone all over the place. It started as a pretty straightforward romcom then it got hijacked by the pointless harem BS, the characters all largely got redesigned (including, IMO, the terribly boring/disappointing makeover for Sayuri) and we spent like a year+ going in circles just to get to now, which is like the outgrowth of where we were when the series started and it was obvious from the very beginning that Shiki and Fuyuki have mutual feelings.

This manga should have stuck with these two and forget the harem bit

I think this manga went down the drain back on chapter 28 and I stopped reading at chapter 50 or so. Good to hear I didn't miss much and I can think of reading it again from this point onward... eventually. I'll keep checking the comments in the future. Hopefully you guys are right.

The dumb thing is that the core of some of the other girls' stories are interesting and would've worked just as well as friends. Sayuri coming out of her shell a bit and making real friends. The senpai girl whose name I can't remember and her perfectionist image along with how it parallels Shiki, all of it would've been just fine if they had been a group of friends without the needless romantic competition. But instead it has to be pointless harem garbage because they need an excuse to not put Fuyuki and Shiki together after 30 chapters and drag things out for as long as they keep drawing readership.

I'll give the manga this as I feel like we are coming up on the end:
At the very least it set out to accomplish the story better than the horrid mess that was rent a girlfriend. When I finally gave up on it the character was essentially the same as he was back in the first chapter with no growth or development. At least with this one, the characters have changed and become better people. As annoyed as I am with the plot elements that were used, at least the mangaka for this one is telling a story that has growth and development rather than just spinning around endlessly still in the same essential place

For some reason I can't look at the two of them without thinking of how much pain Sayuri was in. It would be nice to see her hanging out, playing games with Shiki.

My biggest problems with will-they-wont-they harems is you always know exactly who they will end up with. God bless manga like Anjou san where the other girls have their own love interests rather than chasing the MC in vain.
