Well, she was the first to show Nagi what she looks like in her underwear, albeit unintentionally.

Which is why I wrote "in her underwear", but maybe I should have written "unobstructed view of her underwear" to make it easier to understand, although since I was being facetious, I didn't imagine anyone would be so eager to argue the point.

[KLGChaos]

So, what's he going to do? Bang her, move onto the next girl, do the same and then do the same with the third? Nagi's becoming a douchebag in my book.

Spoiler:

I'm not sure they'll go all the way the next chapter. Nagi certainly man'd up this chapter. Some one probably interrupts them like most shounen romance mangas.

Probably why the author is on break. Needed to find a new way to interfere. With them without using the same old ways

I wouldn't go that far. They are all on the same page and he isn't sneaking around either.

TBF he really should just make a choice and pick one or all. At this point if he sleeps with her, he'll end up a douche bag if he picks someone else. If he sleeps with all of them and then picks someone he'll end up a douchebag.

Ideally he should pick one and sleep with her or pick all and have a foursome (lol).

Either way considering how rare for this to happen in a harem manga is, I feel like it deserves a celebration. Like a sex gong has almost been hit.

KLGChaos: ...Jealous...you can ignore this since it's a noob comment-v-;;.

oDin01: UnM is a Seinen manga, so even though an interuption is possible, don't be surprised if it doesn't happen.

To the rest, son of a BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITCH! Longest...foreplay...session...EVER!

Everyone is always mentioning the "first girl wins" trope with Umi no Misaki, but that is ignoring the even more key "worthwhile experience" trope.

The "worthwhile experience" trope = When a harem manga ends with one girl winning, the author will often try to soften the blow to fans of the losing girls by highlighting how, even though they lost, they gained something or were positively changed by the experience. In other words, they lost, but it is ok because they had a "worthwhile experience".

Read those 99% of harem mangas where the first girl wins, and you will find this trope everywhere (but NEVER happening to "first girl"). However, in those 1% where the "first girl" loses (watch True Tears), this trope is ALWAYS used on the "first girl" (because the "first girl" always has a lot of disappointed fans that need to be mullified).

In harem romances, 100% of the girls who have "worthwhile experiences" lose. It trumphs the "first girl wins" trope hands down.

--------------

In Umi no Misaki, the author, from nearly the very beginning, has been highlighting how both soyogi/shizuku have benefited from courting Nagi. Some examples:

They have improved

true selves coming out
http://www.mangafox.com/manga/umi_no...03/c026/5.html
http://www.mangafox.com/manga/umi_no...03/c026/6.html

This is a death sentence on their chances of endding up with Nagi.


The ending of Umi no Misaki is obvious:

Karin wins and the other two lose but "don't have any regrets" because of what they gained by meeting Nagi. (they had "worthwhile experiences", so don't feel bad about it)

This really is a tough call but since everything is out on the table and the characters are all on the same page, I can't label the guy a jerk. Besides... could you refuse in a situation like that?


cedec0, please don't link to a site that makes profit from a scanlator's effort. It's best to re-size and re-upload the page somewhere else.

No the ending isn't as obvious as you think. Don't forget karin is only the first of a SERIES of dates. If he goes all the way with her than he will go all the way with he rest of them. If she wants a chance at winning. Make nagi actually say he loves her without her pushing him to. Something that he has only admitted to himself about shizuku

Good thing it's Seinen.

[Direwolf18]

Aye its Seinen, totally different then shonen.

And, oh my, I was never EVER expecting them to get that far.

[Nosauz]

G MOTHER FUCKING G, YOU CAN'T BEAT IT, FINALLLY MY SHIP IS GOING TO WIN!!!!!! Oh and yea, that was an awesome chapter, honestly I wouldn't mind sex in a manga as long as it's done like this, where there is chara development etc etc. But yea, gg all yall.

Also tropes really don't matter as long as you get to the place in the story and as the reader/viewer you don't feel like it's implausible, there are shows/mangas/stories where it's obvious the red string of fate is on, and the writing is slanted toward the pair, such as Seo's works where there is never a plausible chance for the "other" they are just filler, it also is much like ichigo 100% although it never got to finish so we will never know but tropes are only tropes when in the end they detract from the plausibility from the story.

ps look at all these haters, anyway Im thinking this has to go into the harem route which is fine, although sometimes when I think about the "love" that they are supposed to have for nagi, it does feel a bit contrived, especially since Karin was the tsun tsun, her tsun didn't last nearly as long as it should have but still at least unlike other romance mangas this has taken to some development, and since Aoi yori AOishi had a sex scene I wouldn't put it past him to toss one here.

[Lexxus]

Damn. I need to wait for 1 month just to see what will happen.

[frubam]

Sorry to say, but if Nagi DOES have sex with Karin, she will win. Nagi's a virgin too, so in a sense, Karin would be his 'first'. Of course, the trick here is that Nagi will probably learn how to be more affectionate while being with Karin and Soyogi, allowing him to give maximum affection to Shizu.

I'm with Drago here. And it's not like Nagi is intentionally aiming to hit the sack with the girls. It would authentically stem from his love for them.

if he does sex up karin, i foresee a harem ending
