It's part of the editor job to check what sort of public response the works have at some level. What most likely happened was that at one point 2ch pointed out that 4ch totally loved this one, and thus the editor checked a little more and then informed the author, thus she spoke about it on twitter.

BTW, I recently picked this up, I was waiting for several chapters to gather as to read many of them in one go; the current fuss about the series was a good excuse to finally devour what's available of Kuroki (ﾟ∇ﾟ) I feel like the verdict on the story is really going to depend on if Kuroki can somewhat see a future with a happy ending or not. And considering her own situation, having a cool boyfriend and whatnot is unnecessary; a more positive prospect for her would be one where she doesn't totally shake at the prospect of talking with someone else and where she feels happier with herself (even if she is kept as a mojo).

So the marketing strategy for the series is that she's popular with American pirates? Though given those photos of bookstore displays, I'm guessing she's not doing too badly in Japan, either.

Too bad Choku never caught on like this and is only one quarter scanslated.

Yeah, that always will be unfortunate, but at least this one is getting somewhere.

I'm currently reading the manga, but the story, plot and impression reminds me more of Lucky Star/B Gata H Kei than The World God Only Knows because the main protagonist is trying to be feminine and pretty.

Oh look, it's on kotaku.

Oh my, the power of 4chan strikes again.

New chapter out.

frubam · 2012-02-02, 09:06

I'm pretty sure I know what happens after this chapter.

Spoiler for I'm sure it was this:

I tend to feel bad when Kuroki tries these... complex ideas in getting a friend, but just utterly fails =0(.

Just read ch15... uh oh its so awkwardly painful to read. Tomoko's cousin knows she was lying and hates her now. Lying is a bad idea if you're awkward as hell.

Aesthetic Shampoo · 2012-03-15, 07:08

Somebody get me some some Yotsuba so i can balance out these emotions. THIS IS SO DEPRESSING/SAD!!!!!

frubam · 2012-03-15, 08:34

Damn, they just LOVE pulling the rug from under your feet every chapter, don't they

? I should expect it by now, but they get me every time. I'm just an optimist at heart =03.

Soconfused · 2012-03-15, 10:04

I literally could not finish the chapter. I don't know if this manga is for me, it's just....ugh....

surerman · 2012-03-15, 11:33

wahahahaha

every one here seem to harbor sympathy to the unpopular-chan and feel depressed
look like no one spot the lesson here

...hm? yeah, the clue is: the audience this series intended for

but it's good too I think, since Sympathy is not something that common to found nowadays

Utsuro no Hako · 2012-03-17, 14:26

What's so depressing about this chapter? Sure, her cousin hates her now, but she's now talked to the same guy on three separate occasions and, despite embarrassing the hell out of herself, she cleared up the misunderstanding. That's the most progress she's ever made in this series.

zeniselv · 2012-03-17, 15:27

the past few chapter flew under my radar, but now that i watched them, damn, its really deppresing, i dont know why i end caring so much for her character.

Spoiler: At least at school she can attempt to make friends, but stuck at home for the summer she has no choice but to see how pathetic she is. And the part where she wets herself ... I hope something good happens to her soon.
