Yuragi-sou no Yuuna-san - Vol. 23 Ch. 199 - Hibari-san, a Few Years Later

[FictionWeavile]

Aw man. Too many girls to pick a best girl.

 

[SotiCoto]

@feha : Does anyone really want their favourite girl to "win"? I mean why would anyone want to willingly see the contrived protagonist get together with their favourite girl? Isn't that just a specialised form of self-cucking? I can't clearly recall if I've ever seen a situation where the one I was rooting for ended up with the man at the end... but if they did, I'd want him dead out of jealousy.

This is another reason why Nonko-chan has been best girl throughout this entire manga: She never had any romantic interest in the token man-meat. 2nd girl Harumu loses points because she was at least passingly interested in him (though at least she lost the contact lenses in the end), but there was no way in hell she'd ever end up with the protag. 3rd girl Yaya again... no romantic interest.

See where I'm going with this?
What good is a girl you can't ever imagine yourself being in a relationship with because she loves someone else?

@SotiCoto most people don't fall in love with their fav chars (like them for other reasons), so they don't get jealous. I think the best comparison would be how you can become a fan of someone (be that an idol, royal family, or celebrity), and as a result be happy when they find love and build a family.

Though judging from what I read in manga (surely an accurate description of reality! (at least I hope it is as obviously flawed of a representation as I assume it is)), this does not apply to jp culture, as there the boys get jealous and wants to kill any person who gets a girlfriend at all, no matter whether they are in love with the girl or not. And if an idol has a boyfriend, she is somehow sullied and not fit to sing and be idolized?

 

[SotiCoto]

@feha : I don't know much about idol stuff, but from what I've seen they're either forbidden from having relationships entirely or told to keep them completely secret. It isn't a matter of her being "sullied", but as far as the few instances of idol fanclubs in anime and manga go, the idol is regarded as for the fans collectively.
So far as I'm aware, being happy that someone you're a fan of can "find love and build a family" is just straight up weird.
I mean I remember being disappointed when I found out that Christina Ricci had eventually got married and had a family... though I'm not really the sort to take that sort of thing too seriously. I still couldn't ever approve of it. It hurts to have one's fantasies killed by mutually exclusive reality getting in the way.

@SotiCoto Yaya is boring as hell though, and honestly if falling in love makes a waifu less lovable for you then you're just reading the wrong genre, just go for some yurishit

 

[SotiCoto]

@Draikar : What kind of self-contradicting nonsense is that? Way to completely miss the point.
Whether in fantasy or reality, the usual key aspect to triggering a relationship with anyone is that they aren't ALREADY dedicated to someone else. Doesn't fucking matter if it is straight or "yurishit" as you put it. If she is someone else's waifu then she isn't yours. The conditions are mutually exclusive.
Anyhow, I'm not "reading the wrong genre". This genre isn't incompatible with my ideals. You're just making excuses because you want rid of me personally and can't express it directly.


And Yaya was alright for a nudeface. Catgirls get their own marks.

@SotiCoto
I dont care about your tastes honestly, just just spoken nonsense and I just pointed it out

 

[SotiCoto]

@Draikar : And I don't care about anything you type... so "just just" speak nonsense to someone else. I don't need more arbitrary notifications.

 

[Draikar]

@SotiCoto
OK

 

[AcerFox]

I understand now 🙃
