Yankee JK Kuzuhana-chan - Ch. 253 - Jenga! A Young Girls' Battle!

[Otamega04]

Ushigome I m reading the manga I see you trying not to laugh that s disrespectful as shit

 

[Dylan0223]

Atta girl, Ushigome! Take the initiative, channel your yandere tendencies, don't let the others stop you!!!

 

[Skater901]

Please please please talk it out with Hanako and realise she's the only one for you.

 

[KuroeNekumi]

Glad that Ushigome finally showed her fuckass side again. I never forgot, nor have I ever liked her.

Regardless of the airheaded nature she usually has, I didn't forget how she played her cards at the start, same as Takae. Both are similar kinds of opportunistic, and both are distasteful to me for the same reason. Compelling characters to some degree (at least Takae, who doesn't put much of a front now and is mostly straightforward when she's malicious - Ushigome using her usual airheadedness with malicious intent just isn't it for me), but not as romantic interests in a romcom like this, more about silly stuff than any actual drama.

I suppose good that she is moving the story forward? Still wish her the worst on her endeavors for the bland MC.

 

[Doomroar]

Dayum !! Ushigome revealing the cunning intelligence that comes with being an lowkey yandere is both terrifying and impressive…

Really hope she wins and the author last minute changes the name of the manga, it is either that or harem ending, the only other thing i will take is Madoka

 

[galaxia9]

Loving Ushigome really claiming the role trickster here. Enough waiting, she's taking control of the situation and getting what she wants. About time someone did.

 

[AnotherDuck]

"Why?"

Why do you think? It's not exactly that hard to figure out.

Whisper, and then she shouts it out anyway. That's more deserving of a, "Why?"

Touching someone while they're placing pieces is cheating.

A wild FMC appears!

hmm i feel the girls are slowly turning into yanderes. and that is getting scary...

I mean, they had the yan part down pat from the start.

Author-san pulls a School Days on all of us featuring insane Ushigome.

Nah, we're fine as long as they don't head for any large bodies of water.

 

[Belkin]

That's some nice mental gymnastics

 

[Ryuga05]

Yeah.... lowkey the only ones I support are the girls that didn't give the worst impression in the beginning. Personally Neither Takae nor Ushigome are ones i'd rather get to be with the mc even if they somewhat changed their ways.

 

[Chronigan]

Because it's my god given right to complain every chapter even though I know the game with romcoms and can simply read any other rom-com that has progress!

Not saying that people can't make criticisms, but after the 50th chapter or so of "hatereading" (also pointless), maybe it's time to either admit you're here for the long run or just peace out and read something else

Sorry, I didn't jnow it was your god given right to complain.

Damn religious fanatics.

 

[Chronigan]

I didn't expect this to continue. I figured we would of started something new here.

Glad that Ushigome finally showed her fuckass side again. I never forgot, nor have I ever liked her.

Fuckass? I'm unfamiliar with that term.

Ushigome was a bit of a bitch when we met her but she has never been a manipulator like Takae. She lets her desires lead her without thinking about the possible consequences. Other than her introduction, she has never had a scene where she showed any real malice. Even this chapter feels more like she is having fun with her friends than truly trying to score an advantage.

This is a competition and she is trying to win, but I don't think she would truly turn her back on her friends. Especially because Saotome would not like that.

 

[mojo72400]

Will he confide w/ Hanako or not?

Does that mean the game is over or will the game continue until there's a winner?

 

[elmco]

saotome must simply become prime minister and legalize polygamy to unlock the true ending. everyone marries him (yes that includes best girl itachi)

 

[koga88]

The slop factory will keep churning out slop. It is genuinely crazy how this shit stays while good manga get axed. Such is life. This must be a nefarious plot. (heavy copium) Please confess holy shit why can't we have some time of them dating and shit instead of just fucking woops confession time to wrap up

There are a lot of series like this that run on for a long time with very simple premise, let alone those that actually try to develop into something more complicated down the line. The premise of him being the only boy in a school was enough to get things rolling and the popularity must have been steady to keep the ball rolling as long as possible.

They've seemingly stopped introducing new girls, minus that random girl at the fashion show that'll probably appear again, so now we are at least in the full pursuit phase.

 

[Late_Komei]

I'm all onboard with an antagonistic mastermind Ushigome for this arc.

 

[Exile]

This manga is one of the top examples of why I say that most modern manga do not plan to end early unless they are axed or are novel ads.

If given the chance, they will absolutely milk the shit out of the story.

A series being serialized is already hard enough, I have no idea what you mean by "modern" and "end earlier" when we look at something like Oh! My Goddess that run for over 20 years and only ended because the magazine it was running was cancelled, Pastel was 15 years and also because the magazine was cancelled.

Should I go about Rumiko Takahashi? Her shortest major work, Maison Ikkoku, run for 15 volumes for about 7years that seem typical for her since they are in the about 9 years mark with Inuyasha being the longest one at 12 years.

Tamiki Wakaki in a interview said when he was writing "The World God Only Knows" that he had nothing planned because he was afraid it was going to get cancelled any time, that is why its first proper arc started so late since he waited until he felt was safe to start story arcs.

I would say its more about the "modern audience" that have ADHD and demand the story ends NOW, I can understand how we got there since overall entertaiment is like that, any new series gets the entire season dump on a streaming.

Yes, this been running for 5 years but when we look at Maison Ikkoku that run longer and "only" took 15 volumes it just says more about how its seralized, Big Comic Spirits (were Maison Ikkoku run) started as a monthly magazine before switching to bi-weekly and then weekly in 86, for most of its lenght it was seralized every other week as Weekly Shonen Champion is a weekly magazine so more chapters been put down because its putting about twice as many in the same publishing lenght.

I hate the implication that the author has made over 250 chapters of this manga and it gets defined as "slop" because they don't write it the way you want. A ton of work has gone into the series and staying power like this doesn't happen randomly. Building and then maintaining an audience is fucking hard and impressive.

Yeah, if anything Yankee JK is actually fairy impressive when it comes to how consistent and dynamic it is with such a length and amount of the characters. People are acting as if the series not rushing to the romantic conclusion in the first few chapters somehow made it bad.

In my opinion this series works infinitely better when it's doing the more casual harem romcom stuff then doing actual plot and character arcs. It was set up initially as that, changed because it was better as harem romcom nonsense, and therefore stayed as what it was better as.

 

[kuchiki9988]

FUCK, AUTHOR REMEMBERED WHO IS IN THE TITLE!

Loving Ushigome's attack, go get it all! (one can dream)
