@Akemua "Hah, this is already at 8*'s and steadily dropping. When I checked the stats for it, it's not that people are giving it a bad rating, it's just that despite the overwhelming amount of people giving it a 10, the lower numbers such as 6, 7 & 8's seem to account for more of the rating. Welp, IMO it's just a little sad that the ratings aren't as high as I would have expected for this (so far) gem."
I just bumped my 8 rating to 9 on this one, I usually rate pretty conservatively when it comes to 10s, I need at least 15+ great episodes and consistency to bump it to that high.
@PTRB "a bit off-topic, but gyarus, harem, and isekai are all popular when are we getting a gyaru harem isekai? huh?!?!?!?!
@Vincentius "@PTRB That's a damn good question. Fluff is also popular, so why not toss it into the mix, as well?"
Agreed.
While I'm not much of a fan of isekai I think a well done gyaru harem would be interesting and very challenging... but may be hurt by it pandering to too many genres/themes. Hajimete no Gal did a very poor job to me (pretty good at the beginning) into transitioning that way, they kept bringing back the trap (which no straight person reading it are interested, amused, or impressed with) and kept going off track of the two main type of girls (gal vs sadistic tsundere traditional black haired, in this case the tsundere most likely will lose) and a third wheel (childhood friend).
I would hate for these kind of series to devolve into fan-service, but I think if the sales aren't strong in the beginning, then that is what determines if the manga succeeds. Until several types of these succeed, we may all end up with several rehashed stories of the one that does told in different ways that leeches off the success of the initial one that worked.
