Did something else end?Even the Abs Manga has ended
Did something else end?Even the Abs Manga has ended
Hold on, now, you can't just say that without dropping a series name.Hell, there's better ABS-FOCUSED fetish bait out there that was capable of showing off delicious abs while still telling a story that was worth reading.
TBQF&H the art is shit (not in the Holyland or OPM webcomic sense), which I think does tell you that the story is gonna be shit too. But yeah I understand how you feel. I myself only really viewed it at something weekly to look forward to to enjoy for 2 minutes.On one hand I'm a little disappointed, but on the other this is pretty much what I expected and highlights exactly why this series got axed in the first place - nothing has happened since the very first chapter. There is absolutely nothing I could tell you about any of these characters that I couldn't tell you after the premise was set up. The "story" of this 32-chapter manga could be entirely covered in a single sentence: "Loner kid hangs out in empty clubroom with cute athletic girl who has nice abs".
Now I know what some people here are thinking:
Honestly I was shocked this series lasted as long as it did. Personally I think the best way this could've been improved would have been to introduce any other characters to the story - family, friends, teachers, whatever - so that there was something more to bounce the main two off of. But as it stands this definitely was a series that ended, and that's about all I can say about it.
- "It's a romcom, what do you expect?" - I expect actual rom or com to happen at some point. Their relationship never advances (or even really establishes beyond them hanging out in the same room), and the one singular joke repeated every chapter is just "MC is horny, usually for abs". Even when the hamster wheel spins in a romcom it'll usually at least tease something here or there, and there are generally a handful of running gags along with chapter-specific jokes.
- "It's a slice of life, of course nothing happens" - Even while nothing dramatic happens in a slice of life we still learn new things about the characters - their likes and dislikes, hobbies and so on. Over the course of 30 chapters we learn nothing about the girl, and the only thing we learn about the MC is that he's prone to picking up new fetishes.
- "It's just fetish bait, don't think about it" - Yeah and there's a lot better fetish bait out there than this, and I'm not even talking strictly about NSFW stuff. Hell, there's better ABS-FOCUSED fetish bait out there that was capable of showing off delicious abs while still telling a story that was worth reading.
