Koibami Shoujo - Vol. 1 Ch. 5 - Thank You for the Meal

I really like how the series keeps me on my toes. I figured it'd be formulaic where they'd go on dates and tease their identities but the first girl was revealed to be a love eater after the date, the 2nd we don't know and third we found out before anything happens. I also like how there's conflict in the love eaters and the main character is challenging his own thoughts about it. Really good start

 

[Narukite]

Agreed considering this is still a romcom in a way I'm surprised there's been so much progress
Looking forward for more!

That was fast to have Hino be revealed as a lover eater before the date even begins. Still wonder if she's try to steal his love when he's going to most likely avoid that scenario. I expect him to try to reason with her & still treat with respect which is a foolish thing to do. Thanks for the translations.

 

[Floriano]

No reason to go into a date with her now my dude, just ditch her. I do wonder if we can focus on the guy that got his love eaten and see what happens to them, how they behave. I'm not thinking this is that good of a story to do that too.

 

[danbellucci]

So the main character is going to report her to the biology teacher so that they can capture her and disect her , right?
Or maybe he should bash her over the head and drag her away now.

 

[ysil69]

Yeah they're revealing way too fast. This is just gonna become a generic harem rom-com. He accepts they're love eaters and forgives the fact they've literally ruined love for every guy before him.

This would've been really good as a monster mystery.

I do Wonder If that would be the case since even If he wants he cant get together with the love eater (unless eating love isnt innate to them which would be a garbo excuse)

 

[Bakemono69]

I actually really like this manga and it has a potential to be my favorite harem manga so I really hope the author doesn't rush the story and end it in less than 50 chapters. With how fast the reveals are going, it's low-key worrying me.

 

[mpwfromK]

At this point it the better question.
Who is not a "Man Eater".

I'm sorry for this Joke 🙇

 

[WaterMonster29]

I feel like this is being rushed so hopefully the author has a plan.

Also what if humans turn into love-eaters some how?

Edit: Ok I thought this through and I think it was a good choice have him see a love-eater eating someone's love because it shows that the biology teacher wasn't crazy and he actually needs to be careful about who he falls in love with.

 

[Dark1400]

Dude really is playing Amongus Romcom version

I’m already calling it now, the twist is gonna be that making a love-eater fall in love somehow ‘defeats’ them. That’s why they emphasized the first love-eater not understanding what love actually is, and showing her starting to get feelings for the MC

Like this reveal was so, SO lame. They didn’t even bother trying to hide it with this girl. Like, the MC should be avoiding this girl like the plague now, but we all know he won’t.

Why would the author even bother with the the mystery girl premise if they’re not even going to attempt to keep the mystery?

 

[KuroViLolitannia]

He saw her vented!

 

[Vichyssoise3.141]

Damn, now I have no idea what the author is planning. That was way too quick of a reveal.

It would be absolutely insane if he's planning on ditching the romcom aspects of this and just go straight for the horror.

this manga is throwing curveball after curveballs

Bruh, this is only this author's second story (with their previous work being about volleyball), so it's not like they've got some stellar track record to 'believe' in. Besides, they aren't cooking anything right now, spoiling any possible mystery surrounding which girls are love-eaters as quickly as possible. @ysil69 is probably right, this story is just gonna devolve into a generic harem rom-com.

If you want the spoiler for next chapter

Spoiler: Spoiler

you get a told you so. He knows she's a love eater, still goes on the date with her, and they give her some backstory to make you feel bad for her. The mystery portion is going to be gone quickly.
