Synopsis:

Quote:

Standing at the crossroads of life; the important choices - “Flags”. Hatate Souta, a young man who can see these flags, transferred to “Hatagaya School”, a prestigious school in the metropolitan area. Not only does he meet beautiful girls in his busy school life, he even goes as far as living with them under the same roof! Surrounded by these flags, this enviable romantic comedy begins!

Author: Takei Touka (竹井10日)
Illustrator: CUTEG
Manga Artist: NAGIAN (凪庵)
Publisher: Kodansha
Volumes: 5 volumes (Light Novel), 4 volumes (Manga)
Original Title: 彼女がフラグをおられたら

The premise itself seems like KamiNomi on crack at first glance, but I've read it and found it fairly amusing. Currently there's eight chapters of the manga adaptation scanlated, but I've found RAWs up to volume 3.

Read the latest chapter.

Breaking yandere flags isn't so easy eh? You think you'd be able to do it in one stroke, but then it turned into another flag you might do or might don't want to see.

RapidPotential · 2013-04-11, 07:30

The funny part is that it's so specific. A yandere flag of all things.

As much as I love harem where the MC has strong character, the story is painfully mediocre with the normal set of character types (except the MC can read their mood via flags above their head). The main thing that annoyed the heck out of me was that the MC keeps on questioning himself whether or not <insert girl of the moment here> really loves him or not, and after the blablablah time, it just gets tiring. That's not to say the characters aren't likeable, but don't expect too much from the story.

The main draw of the series is CUTEG's art and we all know what generally happens to artwork during adaptations. I guess I'll look forward to the fanservice then. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Kinda wondering why this kind of mediocre thing get animated first and not LNs with deep plot and intriguing characters such as Mahouka or Biblia Koshodou (fuck live-action! I wanna anime of it!)

BTW, this is manga thread correct? That means i should stop here and not spoiling things in LN

RapidPotential · 2013-04-11, 11:06

Doesn't matter really, I don't believe there was any thread with either manga or LN, so feel free to put stuff from the LN. I actually try to see things first from comedy and it worked well for me. The premise is interesting enough despite some concerns about the writing but on a whole it's an enjoyable read - it's not one for anybody wanting to read something that invests in detailed, well-written plot.

Of course, being only three volumes in, I'm not fully up with the recent events.

Chandalen · 2013-04-11, 11:52

Sounds kinda like a mix of TWGOK and Iris Zero. Might be alright for some light-hearted fun.

Kreceir · 2013-04-11, 18:02

Don't know about you guys, but I kinda died of laughing when he mentioned that they even pissed together.

Irenicus · 2013-04-11, 23:11

Honestly, it's a bit cold. Played a bit too straight and simple with the harem and the jokes.

But some moments made up for it, like the epic Akane chapter (which in itself is kind of random) wherein we witnesseth The Great Love Flag and an even more hilarious The Prince's Kiss flag.

Forbin · 2013-04-12, 10:23

YANDERE flag. Wow!

Master Assassin · 2013-04-22, 18:46

And a new chapter is up...

Spoiler for Uh oh, Souta seems to be in deeper trouble than we thought:

bakAnki · 2013-04-22, 22:01

I laughed so hard at the "Upham" guy

RapidPotential · 2013-07-17, 00:05

Chapter 15 was just updated.

Spoiler for A bit of development here...:

... And now we have the President's flag triggered too

Forbin · 2013-07-17, 09:04

Thats a banner not a flag... Wonder if it goes into yandere as well

XFire · 2013-07-17, 20:39

Could someone explain to me what happened with the President? I didn't really understand their conversation. It seemed like she was saying she didn't want to live a "perfect" life like her brother since it made him unhappy, but was pushing people away regardless by being a trouble maker. And then Souta made the same face as her brother and she panicked because she thought he would be unhappy. So to her unhappiness=death?

I think it's simply that, at that point, she remembered how her brother was before he died, and that's it.

Interesting stuff all around (lost track of the series during the Sports Festival shenanigans), but the implications that the "world" that everyone is in right now is sort of a simulation was surprising to say the least.

Yeah, that's what I thought, but it seemed kind of shallow for a love flag.

And about the world being a simulation, I get the idea we're going to find out the world already hit a BAD END and is actually destroyed or something.

RapidPotential · 2013-08-14, 11:00

Chapter 16 out.

Spoiler for +1 to the harem...:

Myssa Rei · 2013-08-14, 21:03

More questions than answers, but it does point to the "world" being an elaborate simulation. Mei says that Souta also has the ability to save her world, which seems to be an important point!

And boy, that Sakura seems to be playing a dangerous game. I mean, what if what Mei know is important to the situation they're in right now? What good is it for Mei herself to FORGET about it?

Seems that she might have had feelings for him before, knowing some top-secret information, and viewing him as the only hope to save the House of Shichitoku. Then the mysterious girl Sakura, erases her memories of the secrets, but Mei's feelings for him stay intact. The events planted in her memories were quite amusing.
