Yuna's not that kind of Yandere, Hodaka. I know you're a pessimist but pfft!
But she can change! It's not that she's AGAINST murder-suicide, it just feels like that's skipping the more fun parts, like the stalking and leaving creepy tokens of love! Just give her a chance, I'm sure she can find good bleedy-spot to stab!

The weakness of this series as it winds down is there is not a believable alternative to main girl, like how you could delude yourself about how Nisekoi might end. Takae is best girl but its so obvious Kuzuhana will be the chosen girl. It makes waiting for the reveal and confession as the story winds down pretty anti-climatic.

I mean… considering what Takae and Ushigome did to him at the beginning of the series, there’s no way he could pick them in the first place, no matter how much they changed.

Time to face the consequences of your past acts, girls !!
"ooooooh he'd never pick them because of what they did to him at the start of the series"

The comment section cares more about than the protagonist (who's just an oblivious virgin MC that can't handle girls flirting with him) while Ushigomi did......barely anything worth mentioning to him. compared to Takae (both of whom were the two most popular girls after Hanako in the popularity poll they did)

The idea that he holds a grudge or is traumatized is just headcanon, meanwhile this dude actually imagined Hanako beating his face in despite all they went through together.
Well ushigome was a slut at the begining of the story seducing dudes to buy her stuff.
Can't feel sorry for her
lol Incel detected.

Don't ask me why I enjoy making memes of this comic so much, I just do, everybody's got to have a hobby

I mean, if we are being honest, lately, I have been looking more forward to the bonus meme at the end of each chapter than the chapters themselves... so, by all means, go crazy and don't forget to share them !!

This arc has been a pretty continuous character assassination of Ushigome. Which I guess can be expected; you make a character that likeable over time and yet telegraphed from the start that she couldn't win, so you end up in this corner of needing to reduce her likeability pretty suddenly.

Wild that people think this is a return to her start, though. In the beginning she had a transactional view of relationships and hadn't felt real romantic feelings yet. That doesn't make her bad, it makes her someone capable of growth (which she got). The yandere vibes were also always shown more as that she got panicked and depressed about the idea of Saotome not liking her. She never showed any inclination for violence or other dramatic actions. Now the author is playing it up to make her getting rejected more digestible for the audience.

Meanwhile people think Takae is better even though she literally bullied Saotome in the beginning?? Crazy. Not that it will matter in the end anyhow.

The actually unfortunate thing here is that the rejections indicate we are almost certainly not getting a poly ending. Not that there was ever a good chance of that, but one can hope.

True, even I expressed my outrage in the chapter you're mentioning but to be fair, Saotome is sometimes really hard to appreciate... dude really needs to finally grow some balls and start expressing his real feelings !!

I mean, Ushigome was totally gaslighting Saotome into doing her favors, even ready to blackmail him when he was pushing back, so, you can't act like she was some innocent lost lamb either...

I wouldn't call it a character assassination, since the whole chapter is contrasting Saotome's massive insecurity and pessimism going berserk with how girls actually act. He has similar fears regarding even Hanako and nobody called that chapter a character assassination for her.

Takae has 0 chances, with the bulling and blackmail at the start really never became a likable character.

Ushigome required the assasination path because her airhead personality made her more "silly likable" , and her initial actions attributed to more sillybess than malice

And I'm ok with no poly ending, that's a lazy ending. This path will require Saotome to grow and choose.

Oh hey, a return to the early days
I feel like less of a return to the early days and more of a reckoning with them. The series spent the last arc both bashing open Saotomes emotional walls and building up the confrontation between him and the girls about source of them. It is only natural for Ushigome to be the first one to truly pry through his insecurity but also the first one to get rejected for that.

True 🤣🤣 jokes at the end are most of time better than the chapter

I don't mean just this chapter, but the past arc. Where Ushigome freely broke "rules" and was conscious of it and unrepentant and basically just presented as being selfish and conniving the whole time.

Saotome has the wrong idea about Hanako largely because she herself constantly denied her feelings towards him, which Ushigome never did.

Honestly, Ushigome was always pretty wanton. It's not her suddenly changing, it's her finally growing impatient and feeling pressure of time. It was their last school trip and all of the girls were acting under pressure due to that. She was always quite selfish, it's just that for most of the series she was content with just coasting through the school and hanging out with her friends. We've seen her more selfish and driven side already during the second Culture Festival arc.

TBH, I actually do enjoy the three way contrast between how Ushigome sees herself, how others see her and how Saotome sees her.

Yuna is genuinely a happy go lucky bimbo, but she's also a delinquent willing to casually stomp on the boundaries if it gets her what she wants to. And how, from perspective of Hodaka, she's still the crazy chick who flashed him her tits after feeling rejected.
