^This. It seems like they don't really care that it already bothers Madarame. So let's just make it even worse as long as Hato gets his rocks off with it. Hell, I wouldn't go back at all if I was Madarame...

Gus3 · 2011-08-30, 01:04

Does anyone else think that Spotted Flower might be the story of what officially happens after Genshiken ends? The author keeping everything in the story, mainly the identities of the characters, ambiguous to keep things from being too obvious.

After whats been happening to him in recent chapters, something good is bound to come Madarame's way. Seriously, how much trauma can one guy take before he is rewarded for his suffering?

It would make for an interesting twist to the story. The author subtly revealing the ending of the series before it's official end, through the use of an ambiguous side story that appears to have little relation to the main story.

Myssa Rei · 2011-08-30, 01:38

Gus3: Nope, to think otherwise is wishful thinking for people who would like to see Saki end up with Madarame. As some people previously noted, the only way this subplot will end is when either Madarame admits to himself that it's useless to pine for Saki, OR Saki herself drops a bomb on Madarame to make him go cold turkey on her.

Until then, he'll continue to be the whipping boy for the comic. It's VERY likely that we'll see Ogiue's issues (from her middle-school years) resolved before we get a closure for Madarame. If ever.

One new character...I wonder if she will become regular ;( and Hato is scary in this chapter ._.

Yeah, I realized that it's kinda impossible for him to get a happy end where he'll end up with Saki..but I (and I think others too) still root for him

Chapter 68 was surprisingly enjoyable. Properly developing the new characters is certainly preferable to derailing and butchering the old ones.

Myssa Rei · 2011-10-01, 20:55

Spoiler for Chapter 68:

It's almost been like a weak version of Hen Zemi lately. I think we still need a furry and a hermaphrodite to complete the bingo card.

Dude,this is a NORMAL otaku manga,no magic or xeno is gonna happen

Vicious108 · 2011-10-02, 09:02

I don't know, not much would surprise me at this point. I fully expect to see a transgender futa somewhere down the line.

henwy · 2011-10-02, 23:42

Why not toss in a 'Hard Gay' character too. I can almost picture the horrible horrible fan disservice when they mix him with Kuchiki.

aohige · 2011-10-27, 01:44

YES: Hairless
NO: Hairy

I'm growing fond of Lisa's cuteness.

Thyrz · 2011-10-27, 19:38

Madarame being obsessed with Saki I think is a bit of an overstatement. They might just write those pictures off as simple wank material as soon as they continue with the Mada x Hato.

I despperatly hope they don't go this route.

Vicious108 · 2011-10-29, 00:21

That would indeed be awful, but thankfully the latest chapters (especially the just released chapter 69) have made Yajima look like a more likely pairing for Hato. Or maybe that's just my wishful thinking, since I'll take anything that might lower the chances of Shimoku trolling us to the point of making freaking Madarame switch teams just because he can't get it with Saki. Anything but that please.

bhl88 · 2011-10-29, 01:13

lol not Mada x Hato but Risa x Hato (both crossdressers.... Hato is doomed the moment they saw his smooth.........)

Myssa Rei · 2011-11-30, 21:58

Chapter 70 is up by the way.

Spoiler for This chapter:

Kanon · 2011-12-01, 06:55

The most interesting part of this chapter was that the author reads Yuru Yuri. Cosplays were cool too.

Grey · 2011-12-03, 12:06

Hato's "normal" art was awesome.

I love how it zooms in on that guy's face. It's too funny.

aohige · 2012-01-02, 02:56

Aaaaaaand we're back to Hato x Madarame again with chapter 71 lol.

Gosh, Hatochan's seriously becoming more and more feminine, as if that was even possible.

Myssa Rei · 2012-01-25, 00:43

Actually, I'm not surprised at all that, of all the choices for figurines, it just HAD to be Hato again. Fitting really.

Also, Ogiue penning a non-yaoi JOSEI story for Hato to draw? What is the world coming to?

Myssa Rei Moderate Haruhiist Join Date: Mar 2008 Location: Metro Manila, Philippines Age: 42	Spoiler for Chapter 68: Interesting, so Yoshitake was a ronin? That's... surprising, more so that she was ashamed about revealing that she was one. Though I suppose it's a Japanese thing about being held back, even a year. Yet another surprise! She has a younger sister who not only could pass as a bishie on a good day, but who likes shota manga as well. As if we need any more traps in this series! __________________

Spoiler for This chapter: Interesting to note how Ogiue notices how Hato might just be much more talented than he lets on. Ugh, I don't know if its the short wig, but Hato now kind of reminds me of Aokiko from Bakuman... Ohno as Bayonetta, Kuchi as Bon Clay (AHAHAHAHA) and Angela as... The Princess of the Crystal? __________________
