[bastek66]

Spoilers are up. Third girl is epitome of cliché: tanned swimmer tomboy with sexhair osanajimmie who didn't interact with MC in high school because reasons.

Into the trash it goes.

[LevelSeven]

i must admit that i quite...liked this series,

i just wish it wouldnt be so...meh :(

[kampfer91]

Would be nice if he only stuck with the 2 girls , now we gonna have another Nisekoi....

[Diluc]

I have to say Nisekoi slightly better than this while both are trash but i could understand Nisekoi theme at least while this manga......????????

[bastek66]

Nisekoi at least took some time to introduce third girl. This is straight turn into haremshit like Love Rush had.

[MrTerrorist]

Read the 1st two chapters so far. Looking good.

[Ulin]

After reading the first two chapters I know exactly what to expect, but I don't know why that is necessarily bad. When you read this first chapters you will know if you like it or not... I don't understand why so many Nisekoi and similar series haters are reading this kind of story. You know from the beginning how it is going to be!!

The fact that there is no FGW trope here will probably make the shipping wars even worse than usual :)

[RedWingFM]

Soon, a third character will take the stage

[LevelSeven]

^that is not good,

the MC already has enough work with two girls, if the author starts adding more and more of them this will lead to this mangas downfall :/ (not like i would care)

[bakato]

I really like the art. Hope this doesn't get as bad as Nisekoi.

[Ulin]

I really like the art. Hope this doesn't get as bad as Nisekoi.

I really really hope it does :D:D

[bastek66]

I really like the art. Hope this doesn't get as bad as Nisekoi.
Too late, it already turns into haremshit with next chapter. It's next Love Rush.

[RedWingFM]

As I expected, new heroine has appeared. Some gyaru from swimming club and she likes to bully MC.

[MrTerrorist]

Tanned swimming champion whose not smart and copies the MC work to pass. lol

[MrTerrorist]

Chapter 5.
Pushover guy tries to keep confessing to one of the girls.

[MrTerrorist]

Ogata is kinda cute when she's pouting. Oh Takemoto. lol

[RedWingFM]

Ogata is kinda cute when she's pouting. Oh Takemoto. lol

Yep, you are right. Well, maybe next chapter will be about Furuhashi :)

[sayf82]

Yep, you are right. Well, maybe next chapter will be about Furuhashi :)

she already had her chapter last week, the next one needs to be about his sister( the sis-con:heh:)

[AntonKutovoi]

After reading trough the chapters I can say one thing: I can already imagine Ogata being voiced by Rie Takahashi when inevitable anime adaptation will come.

[MrTerrorist]

Wrong gift girl. Wrong gift. lol

[bakato]

Wrong gift girl. Wrong gift. lol

Was it? Was it?

[Tenzen12]

As much as it brought complaints I think adding Takemito into now harem was right call (and not just because I find her really endearing, if bit obnoxious),

1. she breaks formula which needed to be broken somehow.

2. She actively interact with both other heroines and trying befriend who are not good in socialising. Let's be honest Furuhashi and Ogata doesn't interact much even with each other, which make it too Naryuki centric

3.She has her feeling sorted out and act on them if in bit awkward manner which also contrasting with others who still getting in touch with this kind of stuff.

[WingedAccelerator]

Since it's the 8th chapter that is coming this week, the manga will be ranked for the first time, right?

[Diluc]

Hopefully it always ranked bottom so this series can eagerly walk out from wsj.

[OH&S]

^
Too bad. First ranking has it in 4th place. That's good, btw.

[zztop]

^
Too bad. First ranking has it in 4th place. That's good, btw.

Where can we see the weekly rankings for all titles?

[The One Above God]

^It's on his signature.

[LevelSeven]

guess the 4th rank is a indicator that this series will stay for some time :(

wish DP or red sprite would have gotten that rank instead :(
(hopefully the mangakas will get another chance in the future, their artstyles are really good, they only need a good battle shounen (which, if im honest, isnt that hard to plan(just take a world where magic is a thing and create a actual magicsystem out of that, than create a MC who is coming from a low clan and goes into a academy in order to become one of the magicians (which are the main fighting force in that world) and tada, you got yourself a nice setup for a shounen battle story XD)))

[amasposu]

How did that happen?? The art is really good but the story is worst than Nisekoi. It is probably a fluke.

[LevelSeven]

How did that happen?? The art is really good but the story is worst than Nisekoi. It is probably a fluke.

people love comedy-harem storys, and if im honest, the science-genius girl is my favorite after ch7 or 8 :eyespin:
so i can kind of understand why the series survives, but not on the fcking 4th rank!!

[WingedAccelerator]

Hopefully it always ranked bottom so this series can eagerly walk out from wsj.

At least, you are honest with your negative opinion about the manga. :D
Don't get me wrong, I also have some WSJ series that I wouldn't mind getting out of the magazine, but I simply don't care about them enough to follow them weekly, so I don't state my axing wishes in the first place. If it happens, it happens.

guess the 4th rank is a indicator that this series will stay for some time :(


The same goes for you. :D
But I rather have a chill romcom, then the umpteenth typical shounen story with the most safest elements from the usual tropes list.

[Tenzen12]

How did that happen?? The art is really good but the story is worst than Nisekoi. It is probably a fluke.

Nisekoi didn't have even potential to be comparably interesting as Benkyou which is better average at minimum.

[MrTerrorist]

Latest chapter is out.

[MrTerrorist]

Chapter 9 is out.
The girls passed their test!

[MrTerrorist]

Chapter 10

Uruka looks cute in that dress.

[bastek66]

Uruka is Hibari of this manga, author forces her too much.

BTW, looks like Japan didn't like harem turn, 4th chapter was ranked 3rd from the bottom.

[Tenzen12]

Hibari from?

Anyway I wouldn't say it's forced, I mean even putting my personal preferences aside, her becoming final girl would make lot of sense narratively.

[RedWingFM]

Hibari from?

Anyway I wouldn't say it's forced, I mean even putting my personal preferences aside, her becoming final girl would make lot of sense narratively.

Hibari from Yuragi-sou no Yuuna-San, I suppose. I think all girls has chance with Yuiga.

[sayf82]

Hibari from Yuragi-sou no Yuuna-San, I suppose. I think all girls has chance with Yuiga.

and next chapter add a new girl:heh:

[MrTerrorist]

Chapter 12.
A new girl is introduced. Sekijou Sawako, President of Chemistry club and a classmate of Ogata's.

[RedWingFM]

Chapter 12.
A new girl is introduced. Sekijou Sawako, President of Chemistry club and a classmate of Ogata's.

And she ship Yuiga & Ogata

[Ulin]

Everything will be fine as long as she doesn't join the race ;)

[RedWingFM]

Everything will be fine as long as she doesn't join the race ;)

I highly doubt. Maybe author had enough with three heroines (plus sister with brocon)

[sayf82]

Everything will be fine as long as she doesn't join the race ;)

i hope:heh: but if he want to add a 4th girl, its best that it comes a bit later and someone who'll be more agresive so the swimgirl can be more proactive

[IceHism]

sekijou is cute so I don't mind if she joins.

[kuudererules]

I think we can guess which MC will choose in the end (probably)

http://wasabisyrup.com/storage/gallery/UIY77UF-3gQ/m0282_RcOJMAQzBVA.jpg

http://wasabisyrup.com/storage/gallery/UIY77UF-3gQ/m0282_RcOJMAQzBVA.jpg

Yep, Rizu-chan is lucky one

[Tenzen12]

How does accidental kiss relate to being eventually chosen? Not saying he will not, but I don't think that it helped anywhere else...

[Diluc]

Yes, this manga will end now because MC finally has pick the girl.

[sayf82]

so with each girl he leveled up his skill
1-book girl : saw her (partially)naked
2-sporty girl : groped her chest
3-ramen girl : accidental kiss
so who wins?

[RedWingFM]

Some 4th girl or his sister? :heh:

[Ulin]

So far I'm going to bet for Ogata. She's the one who is starting to fall for the MC and it is not as the baiting with the childhood friend ;)

[Tenzen12]

I still think Iruka is most likely. Other two can't really get ahead of each other after all.

[Ulin]

I still think Iruka is most likely. Other two can't really get ahead of each other after all.

Well, we will have to wait until there's some character development or a great event happens, but probably takemoto is the least favourite for me, it smells of childhoodfriend bait :heh::heh::heh:

[sayf82]

udon girl is the most fitting for him, she can cook, she can manage family's budget and she 's cute

[MrTerrorist]

Love the last two chapters.

[wuhugm]

The first time I prefer a megane over other girls
Definitely the end girl

Though if possible, Sekijou End would be better :heh:

[Tenzen12]

Sekijou is indeed keeper. Shame she is not even in running.

[Idealist 99]

You know , The most appealing thing about this series that there is no main heroin.
There is noway to tell who will win.

Everything will be fine as long as she doesn't join the race ;)

Shame , Sekijou is more interesting and enjoyable heroin.
Not to mention that she is actually clever and helpful to MC. She definitely one of those loveable Tsundere that understand protagonist's situation and help him while denying her feeling.
Unlike those cliche whining Tsundere that beat up the Protagonist for no reason and still get the guy.

[wuhugm]

^

Sekijou is indeed keeper. Shame she is not even in running.

I hope she will
She's the only one staying around not for the pretense of "tutoring"

[The One Above God]

^It will actually be a very interesting development if Yuiga and Sekijou started getting closer to each other in a romantic sense while keeping his tutoring business with the other three. Lots of potential for drama and interesting interactions. Also, because Sekijou is really great so far.

[wuhugm]

^Dunno why but almost in every series, one (or all) of the new heroines is clearly better than the main heroine
Like Yuragi Yuuna, Tsugomomo, etc
The fans think so based on the polls
Don't the authors come to a realization like "Oh, shit, I accidentally created a better route, let's go with this one instead of the original"

The reason why I like syosetsu web novel is because this is happening
This route alteration happens often, some to a bad development, but not few created masterpieces
Manga is still so restricted I guess

[Ulin]

I guess I one of those rare ones who usually likes the main heroine best (I like Yuuna for example)

This case is a bit special since we don't have a "main heroine" per se

[MrTerrorist]

Sekijou, a true...bro? Sis?

[WingedAccelerator]

The first volume cover is out. ^^


http://www.shonenjump.com/j/comics/assets_c/2017/05/bokuben01-thumb-400x635-3791.jpg


Minor spoilers from Chapter 16:

Yay! It's a chapter centered around the bitch tutor and her issues. She kinda resembles the new girl from Kaguya-sama IMO.

[MrTerrorist]

Chapter 16
Kirisu-sensei seem cold hearted but is actually nice but won't show it to her students.

[The One Above God]

The three main girls are great and all, but I think either Sekijou or Kirisu as end girl would be the best.

[wuhugm]

The three main girls are great and all, but I think either Sekijou or Kirisu as end girl would be the best.

Funny that "non-heroines" are better girls lol :heh:

[The One Above God]

^Not exactly better lol. I just find their "routes" to be more appealing in a sense compared to the main three :heh:.

[The One Above God]

That was a pretty cute chapter. I feel like Uruka had more romantic development with Yuiga than the two other girls combined.

[Tenzen12]

Well she did, but author is starting change format, which is bit unfortunate for Uruka.

[MrTerrorist]

Blushing Takemoto is cute.
Also, i like their Summer Uniforms.

[wuhugm]

Uruka so cute~
Too bad she won't win~

[Tenzen12]

Her chances are getting more vague recently, but she is still quite bit ahead of rest of girls and have narrative advantage imho.

[MrTerrorist]

Congrats to the author on getting the 1st volume a 2nd printing. (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2017-06-10/taishi-tsutsui-we-never-learn-manga-gets-2nd-printing-of-volume-1/.117077)

Also, it now has a TV Tropes page (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Manga/WeNeverLearn).

[WingedAccelerator]

Chapter 18.

Interesting...
From the reactions regarding the rumor that Nariyuki kissed a girl and has a girlfriend, Fumino put the pieces together that both Uruka and Rizu likes him. And now she has a dilemma of who to cheer on. Doubt that she is out of the race voluntarily just like this.

[MrTerrorist]

lol poor Nariyuki.

[The One Above God]

I smell drama... I'm pretty sure Fumino is eventually gonna end up falling for Yuiga herself. I'm honestly interested to see how that's gonna happen, and if it does not happen, I'd be surprised but I would welcome it all the same.

[SoloPanda]

I really hate that type of guy, he seems to show up in every manga like this. The guy who throws a fit every time someone else gets a girlfriend or something. I just find them super irritating.

other than that funny chapter. they dragged him back into the darkness.

[sayf82]

i'm wondering if Rizu was more agitated by the rumor of a girlfriend(not her) or the kiss(her)?

[Ulin]

I smell drama... I'm pretty sure Fumino is eventually gonna end up falling for Yuiga herself. I'm honestly interested to see how that's gonna happen, and if it does not happen, I'd be surprised but I would welcome it all the same.


Yep, I'm afraid that's what is going to happen eventually, but I would be really really happy if it isn't. IMO this stories need a supporting character who for once doesn't fall in love with the MC. Every story needs a Ruri :)

[Tenzen12]

Wait! Which Ruri? I can think two, but both of them fallen for MC...

[wuhugm]

^Nisekoi's

[Ulin]

^Nisekoi's


Yeps, best Ruri out there :)

[Tenzen12]

Oh right there was someone like that. I dropped Nisekoi long ago (even before KNIM) so my memories are more than just vague...

[The One Above God]

Uruka's getting a lot of development. She's pretty much the main heroine right now. It looks like Rizu would be getting some next chapter though, so the scales might tip in her favor once more. Fumino, on the other hand, is still out. I'm still holding on the possibility of her joining in anyway, maybe at the chapter after next week's.

[Tenzen12]

Once more you say, but were they ever tipped in her favor since Uruka was introduced? I did though author might tone down Uruka role, but it feels like she is getting even further ahead to the point that even as hee supporter I am getting worried if it's not too good to be true.

[The One Above God]

^I think the kiss with Rizu is a pretty big plus for her. The recent Uruka chapters made her catch up quite easily though, and even get ahead of Rizu.

[wuhugm]

Rizu is the main heroine tbh

Fumino is the rival

Uruka is the pitiful heroine

I don't mind Rizu's end but I think the side heroines are more interesting

[Tenzen12]

And what lead you to that conclusion? You know that first girl rule doesn't apply there, don't you? If something it's pretty became pretty big disadvantage.

^I think the kiss with Rizu is a pretty big plus for her. The recent Uruka chapters made her catch up quite easily though, and even get ahead of Rizu.

Well, she did get some points there, though it gave me impression of having much greater effect on Rizu than Yuiga. Because these incidents he starting see her as attractive member of opposite sex, but still not necessarily as love interest.

In Uruka case, she actually slowly but persistently manage deliver her feelings through his thick skull . Him getting jelly indicate not just just awareness, but also interest IMHO.

[wuhugm]

Uruka will never win

I've seen too many of these to know where this is gonna end

She's the 3rd girl
She's not there in the inception of this manga

All winning girl in the history of manga always appear in the first 3 chapters

[The One Above God]

^There could be an upset, you know? Which would be refreshing :heh:. Though, honestly, I don't mind any of them winning. If I had to pick, then it will be someone out of the "student-tutor" circle, which only leaves Kirisu-sensei and Sekijou, but that's mostly from my weird desire to see an end pairing with the girl not included in the "main heroines" group, which I've never actually seen anywhere.

[Tenzen12]

I watching/reading anime/manga over 15 years and yes I know now it usually ends. And no it's nothing definite.

Anyway in Kaminomi Chihiro was what, 10th girl? What about Negima? Chisame got barely any page time for like first hundred chapter or so? Never finished Shuffle but there was also supposed be major upset.

Well in first place Fumino might not end as love interest in first place which would make Uruka second girl. Not saying that's what will happen, but you do make lot of assumptions here.

[wuhugm]

^Chihiro and Chisame were already there since the beginning though only as minor characters
Shuffle's Asa and Mashiroiro's Miu, those are from eroge so all heroines are main heroines in the first place

Uruka just came out of nowhere just like another heroine in Yuragi sou
And usually heroines whose default is already in love with MC won't win

^^Sekijou & Kirisu > all

[Tenzen12]

She came from nowhere alright, but hardly like "just another heroine". And yes maybe girls that are in love with MC as default usually doesn't win, but she is winning pretty decisively right now already which is unusual in first place. If it doesn't follow usual formula now, why you think it will later?

And as you said Chihiro did happen appear in chapter three, but let's be honest it would change nothing if it was fourth one instead as there were zero plans for her at that time anyway. Her winning is unrelated to chapter count. Same for Chisame. You are speaking about what happens usually but choosing side characters over main heroines is much more unusual. And of course we have there adaptations of LN, like Kampfer where winning girl doesn't appear until ...like episode five? Should I present more examples from LN territory?

In anime related medias and story telling in general there there are no absolute rules. That's why you have to inspect every work by it's own merit, because there will always one or two ready throw curve ball at you . If you don't know that much, it means you didn't read/watch enough stuff yet.

[wuhugm]

^There are curve balls, but let's face it, series that breaks from the norm is less than 10%
If you don't know that much, it means you didn't read/watch enough stuff yet.
Especially in today's formulaic series

As of now, I can't see this one will be another one

Recent series that probably will have a twist is Masamune with Maid End

Tbh no hope for Yuragi sou
Will be Yuuna End, Obscure Harem End, or at most Sagiri End

[Tenzen12]

Much less than 10%. And honestly from jow much relevance and page-time Uruka gets this manga is on best way to become member of that extremely exclusive club.

[wuhugm]

^I'd be happy if it turns like that

Coz hey, we almost never get a winning sporty girl except in exclusive sport themed series lol :heh:

[Tenzen12]

Hmm, you are right I can't remember any sports girl winning either.

Well as I said while It's true it goes in good and unusual direction it's so smooth it feels like might go wrong somehow soon. Though I can't imagine what kind of trump card would allow Rizu catch up at this point.

[wuhugm]

^Btw, this conversation reminds me of Power Rangers (since I just watched the movie) and how Tommy the White Ranger eventually usurped the lead role.

So these kind of characters are called Breakout Characters
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_breakout_characters

A breakout character is a character in serial fiction who becomes a more prominent, popular, discussed, and/or imitated individual.


This is really rare in anime/manga, yes?

With the axe system of Japan, authors are forced to cram everything good in the first few chapters and can't deviate from it.

[WingedAccelerator]

Did anyone here read Fukashigi Philia from the same author? Cause if I remember correctly...
The girl, who got introduced third won.

[Tenzen12]

Well Break out character is more meta thing, when side character became so popular with audience it overshadow main cast without author intent and then yes author can give up and main hero or create spin off. But basically it happen spontaneously.

In this case it's more of "spotlight stealing squad" and in case of aforementioned side characters rising in prominence in universe it known as "as ascended extra" Well there probably exist characters that can check out all boxes.

Well, but honestly I am not sure how much of these generic formulas mangas are result of meddling from publisher, fear try something new from authors theirself, or combination of both. That said longer author writes something note opportunities he/she get turn it I to u expected direction... or punch you I to guts with Eba:heh:

But sometimes also author unintentionally strangle himself with own setting and have no choice but make radical cut to make it work or torch own work (I am still salty about Kagami no Kuni no Harisugawa

Huh, I probably strayed from topic a bit didn't I?

[wuhugm]

^Kagami no Kuni no Harisugawa!!!!!
Main girl's friend, Saki, is better!!!
That and Alive -The Final Evolution- pissed me off the most
Yea, develop that girl far more than the 1st girl but just throw them under the bus at the very end
SUCKS!

The Axe System has great influence imo coz I'm comparing it to webnovels from syosetsu lately
It's more common to see main heroine change there
When it ended and I asked the author, he said the new girl is more charming so he switched route, this probably won't happen for published series coz people will rage

Did anyone here read Fukashigi Philia from the same author? Cause if I remember correctly...
The girl, who got introduced third won.

Thanks for remainding me of that

I read that a long time ago, but the scan stopped at some point and I forgot about it
So it's finished, huh?

But really?
The "magical girl" lost?
Hard to believe
Gonna reread
But even if you say it's the 3rd girl, it's still in the 1st chapter and she's closely tied with the main plot, unlike Uruka

"Magical Girl" normally be the winner
Referring to the "Girl that suddenly appeared in MC's life and change it greatly (literally with magic usually)" also called "Girl fallen from the sky" trope I think?

[Tenzen12]

Of course Saki is better, that's common sense.

That said bokutechi doesn't really have "main plot" and all three girls are tied to that non-existent plot by same rope.

I will check Phillia too. Any manga without "sudden girlfriend apparence" heroine winning is worthy reading. I believe under wiki and tropes pages it's known as "magical girlfriend"

[MrTerrorist]

I like how Uruka averted the typical reaction of slapping a guy when they mention her boobs are showing.

[Tenzen12]

I like she got local deity as her wingman...

[wuhugm]

So I've finished Fukashigi Philia and......

Whelp, Uruka might win after all...
The winning girl from Philia is awfully similar to Uruka in personality

Though for Philia she was in actuality the true heroine
The only rival was the teammate
The "sudden magical girlfriend" herself is not a candidate at all considering her real identity
Great manga anyway~

[Tenzen12]

Just finished Fukashigi Philia myself, I did try reading it before, but never got past first arc. Pretty interesting and while I can't disagree that Riri is somewhat similar to Uruka, it didn't make her good heroine. Hime should have win there and Uruka should win here

[wuhugm]

^Yeap, Himeji was much better.
She had so much facet to her.

Sekijou should win here :p

[Tenzen12]

I wouldn't particularly mind, though if Yuiga got girl with common sense his life would be much more boring than with girl who has none.


Edit: Also what kind of Erotora wouldn't be well aware of great merit Uruka posses in comparison of Sekijou.?

[MrTerrorist]

Special Chapter 2 is out.
It's about Uruka and her friends stretching in their swimsuits.

[The One Above God]

I think the author is baiting us with all these Uruka/Rizu developments while Fumino steadily gets closer with Yuiga in a more reserved fashion.

[Tenzen12]

I don't think it's baiting, but yes setting Furuhashi becoming closer as Yuigas confidant is best position to make her chances even or even steal march on others.

[MrTerrorist]

Yuiga again breaks the clueless male lead stereotype by realizing Rizu has difficulty in seeing due to her glasses.

[Tenzen12]

Well that's not where clueless male protagonists are supposed break their archetype though. Actually they are often perceptive to everything but romance going on. Yuiga unfortunately is exactly that case.

Still I like him somehow more then other MC harems leads, not sure why.

[The One Above God]

^Well, I don't know about you but I like him because of his motivations and his overall hardworking nature. Him not being the type of MC that shoots blood out of his nose all the time is also a plus.

[Tenzen12]

I think you nailed it for me too.

[wuhugm]

^Composed MC

Rizu gonna win this

[Tenzen12]

Rizu doesn't have good position nor approach. She need step up her game to even have chance much more to win.

[wuhugm]

The problem with authors that can't draw regular female characters

http://i.imgur.com/F8G8cue.jpg

Uruka's friend who's a side character looks more attractive than the heroines who are supposed to be the school idols :heh:

I call this Katou Megumi Syndrome :p

[SoloPanda]

@wuhugm

She is cute but are you sure it isn't just the poses? i mean if you put the main girls in swimsuits and the same poses they'd probably just as attractive. Especially Rizu since she has greater assets than the other two.

[Tenzen12]

Fumino is generically beautiful. Girl like that are pretty commonly school idol. Rizu... hmm I guess it's her small animal attribute they attract boys. She is type one want protect from all harm. Both of them also stand out fue their academics so people notice them more.

Friend A and B are certainly attractive, but they don't stand out among other as much attractive girls whose should be plenty around.

[RedWingFM]

This chapter about MC and Sensei. MC went with Sensei to her home and help her with some cleaning. We will know that Sensei was a figure skater.
P.S. Yuragi-sou use figure skating too :heh:

[Tenzen12]

Two chapters at once, huh. I am not gonna complain about it.

Lot of bathing and Yuiga got new cellphone. Fan service ensues. Fumino getting more and more aware of Nariyuki, which is shame author could take more time to develop it, before upgrade. Well rushing it take away her advantage so I am fine with it. Uruka as usually make biggest "impression" on poor slash lucky MC:heh:

Second chapter is sensei-centric. Cementing her as good person and teacher, who doesn't want girls make same mistake as she did once. Even if she disagree with Nariyuki she seems to respect his PoV

She is indeed great character imho.

[The One Above God]

Kirisu-sensei quickly climbing up to best girl position with latest chapter.

[Tenzen12]

I wouldn't go that far, but considering she isn't even contender for heroine, it would have little meaning even if she were.

[wuhugm]

http://i.imgur.com/4BcLysj.png


Kirisu-sensei end!

[MrTerrorist]

So i just saw the latest two chapters.
A naked fanservice chapter and one chapter about Kirisu and why she's kinda cynical.

[IceHism]

Kirisu is the best. I hope author has balls to do sensei route but he seems to be a uruka lover. Oh well.

[Tenzen12]

She is great. Regardless sensei route would be mistake. Author does good job focusing on her as teacher rather then as girl.

[The One Above God]

Sekijou's great. She needs more screen time.

[wuhugm]

Best girl Sekijou returns YEAAAAAAAA!

[Tenzen12]

Well, she is on similar boat as sensei. She is definitely great (and much better looking then Rizu and Fumino), but I am afraid she is too competent and would hurt romcom hijinks potential of manga.

I wouldn't mind seeing here more as long as this doesn't happen though.

[Random14]

Sekijou is pretty good. That's what I like about this series, that the girls are fun enough on their own, not like they're obsessing over Nariyuki (unlike say Nisekoi). Even with his appearance, it was short (partially due to a certain father) and there wasn't anything that perverted, which I find surprising for a harem series.

[MrTerrorist]

Nice chapter. But i'm kinda irked that they use incorrect English: ("I ate apple at lunch". It should have been "I ate an apple for lunch".)

[wuhugm]

^Big deal...

[The One Above God]

Next chapter is apparently a Fumino chapter.

[Ulin]

Let's hope she doesn't fall for the MC too... I really like the dynamic with her enjoying her friends' crush :)
But actually I don't have much hope :heh:

[WingedAccelerator]

Oho... Could it be?


The context of the last page indicates that Nariyuki may have learnt about Uruka's feelings. At least, that's my guess, although I don't understand korean. xD
Cute Uruka chapter regardless.

[wuhugm]

Furuhashi chapter

The heck, all the side characters' looks this chapter rivalling that of the heroines lol :heh:

[The One Above God]

Fumino is pretty much the one closest to Yuiga right now.

[MrTerrorist]

Damm, that Kashima is scary.

[Tenzen12]

Hate to admit but good Furuhashi chapter. She didn't caught up yet with Uruka, but much outpaced Rizu and solidified her position. Not bad. Not at all...

[The One Above God]

I hope the author doesn't pull some bullshit like making Yuiga misunderstand what he heard. The MC actually knowing about the feelings of one of the girls who like him this early on in a series is pretty rarely seen.

[WingedAccelerator]

I also afraid of this. But the girls could have said it vague like "Going this far for the person you love" or something. Although in this case, if Nariyuki gets frustrated, then that means he has feelings for Uruka. We shall see.

Now that you mention "early on", 3 months have passed from the beginning, right? If Japanese school year starts in April.

[The One Above God]

^Well, yes, but what I meant by "early on" was "early, in terms of the series' run." It's only been 25 chapters--half a year since its publication. Having the status quo significantly change this early unlike, say, Nisekoi which stayed relatively the same until chapter 50s, would be pretty interesting to see.
I'd like to see him finding out about the girls' feelings for him earlier to see how the interactions would change and play out until the end of the series.

[WingedAccelerator]

That would be nice. He kinda is in a hard spot though, because the rumors about his girlfriend had so much significance on the test scores of the girls. If he accepts the feelings of any of the girls, and even wants to requit it, I think he needs some sort of declaration that love related stuff can wait until the tutorship is over. Otherwise, he risks the VIP nomination, because the unchosen ones will get depressed, once again. In this regard, the girls also have to prepare their heart for the worst. Mood swings are Nariyuki's main enemy.

[wuhugm]

^The only solution is to pick someone outside of tutoring circle :heh:
Sekijou or Kurisu please!

[Tenzen12]

Nah that would make depressed all three. Right choice would be Uruka of course. Furuhashi is ready for him to get together with either if two girls, so she should be able deal with it. Uruka would be devasted most hands down, but if she was one to win she wouldn't leave her relationship with other two girls damaged. She and Fumino could actually repair group relationship better than Funino-Rizu combo would in case of Rizu victory..

Hmm. That was actually meant to be just excuse to promote Uruka x Yuiga ship, but it actually make perfect sense!

[The One Above God]

^The right answer :heh:.

Seriously though, I'd be impressed if the author manages to pull that off.

[WingedAccelerator]

^The only solution is to pick someone outside of tutoring circle :heh:
Sekijou or Kurisu please!

Doubt that it would make a difference, since Uruka and Rizu were already depressed by Anonymous-chan dating Nariyuki. They should assume it's someone outside of their circle, but Uruka even put up a facade and said, "Go for it!".
Although if the author has the balls to choose either, that would be quite the twist. :P

Based on the context, Nariyuki indeed heard the whole thing. He seems troubled, or annoyed in the morning. Then he feels nervous around Uruka and acts clumsy, like the roles have been reversed. Not sure what Uruka has told him at the end, but it worked. Please, just don't be something like "I like you as a tutor, obviously!"

Edit: A spanish team actually translated Chapter 25, so no doubts now. ^^

[The One Above God]

So...Yuiga did indeed hear the whole thing and there wasn't any misunderstanding bullcrap. He was actually shaken by it and ended up acting different from normal. He ended up offhandedly asking Uruka if he is her crush, but Uruka ended up denying it because she's afraid their relationship would change and she's happy with the way things are now. A part of her regrets it though. Not sure how Yuiga reacted to this.
There's apparently only gonna be 1 chapter in the next two weeks(?) since this week's is a double issue. Also, next chapter is probably Kirisu-sensei chapter. She's actually included in the promotional image. Might she actually have a chance?

The Most Unpredictable Battle Ever Debuted on Jump!!In terms of Rom-Com, that is.

She didn't debut in the first chapter? So what?! This tanned-girl is carving a new history! The Little Mermaid of Ebony and Ivory, Takemoto Uruka!
The lips have already been taken by her!! Overloading with glasses and F-cup, the Mechanical Thumbelina, Ogata Rizu!
She may not have breast, but she has a dream!! She's a lion with her love that is yet to be awaken!! The Sleeping Beauty in the Forest of Literature, Furuhashi Fumino!
Is the teacher participating in this as well?! Just how far will the gods test us?!! The First Tutor, Kirisu Mafuyu!
Who will be the last one standing?!

[Tenzen12]

Actual translation might change context bit, but darn Uruka screwed her chances a lot here T_T

[AB079]

Ironically after all these chapters I can't really say who's the "real" main girl here. On Nisekoi it was painfully predictable and obvious but here is not like that.

[WingedAccelerator]

There are obvious cases of cockblock used in romcoms that are labeled as "Heroine wasting chances" by the readers. But those cases are mostly interruptions by other characters, or elements, and the heroine is hardly at fault. So the readers are wrong in the end, because it's just a cheap prolonging trick. Unfortunately, Uruka really did waste a damn good chance here and she is totally at fault. :/

[wuhugm]

Wha? Uruka is winning?
Well, in author's previous work, the childhood friend is winning too, so not surprising I guess.

[WingedAccelerator]

Uruka is middle school friend, not childhood friend, unless I missed something.

[wuhugm]

^Close enough
I mean, it's the girl who has history with the MC whom will win
In here, all girls except Uruka has no connection to MC prior to the start of the story

[WingedAccelerator]

Oh, that's true.
Meanwhile, in Nisekoi everyone was a chilhood friend. Dear God, I just realized that. UGH! :S

Translated chapter 25 is out. ^^

[Tenzen12]

Actually after readers chapter 25 I feel much better about 26 as well. If 25 showed something it's that Nariyuki already is looking her way. So I think either answer would have impact and playing coy might be much more effective in long run than realising Kraken. Especially if this "don't push too hard" lesson was meant to be applied on Urukas romantic live as well.

PS: Once 26 is translated I might pretend I never said that. Please play along then.

[The One Above God]

Kirisu-sensei really is best girl. I hope the author also goes the route of "stealthily" developing her with Yuiga like what he/she does with Fumino.

[WingedAccelerator]

The Uruka situation resolved nicely, so no complaints here. Legit worries and reasons for maintaining the status quo, even though she had a bit of regret in the end.

As for the latest chapter, oh boy, I have to be that guy...
Rizu is unimpressive, easily the weakest heroine so far. Having big boobs, wearing glasses, being small, and that adorable pouting... It's just amounts to nothing, if her chemistry with Yuiga is almost non-existent. Uruka managed to make Nariyuki conscious of her as a potential girlfriend, while Fumino has the love talk sessions and mutual trust developed between them. So, what does Rizu have over them? Udon jokes? The so called "game changer" accidental kiss? I bet she would be more fun, if the "can't quite grasp emotions" aspect of her character made her into a sorta deadpan character. TBH, I expected her to be one, but she is just too serious.

[Tenzen12]

I think Rizu might as well drop a bombshell and confess first. As cheap as it is it would certainly got her few points. Anyway Naryuki is probably still aware of Uruka and it might growth if given time.

[Tenzen12]

Chapter 28 spoilers


Prologue:
Mum: Cough, cough. I can't go to job pls Naryuki sub me!
Naryuki: It's lingerie shop!
Owner: No problem take mascot costume

Everyone walks in.

Uruka
Uruka: Guy I like huh... Sawako said he looks on boobs all time, I should pick something sexy to make them look bigger.
Naryuki: That guy is trash!

Sensei:
Sensei: Pls help me
Naryuki: How the hell I ended unhooking bra of my teacher?! Oh it fell!

Rizu
Rizu: Help me with measurment pls
Naryuki: It is over nine thousand 91 cm!

Fumino
Fumino: I don't need your company you cows mina-san. I can find something myself Let's go my possibilities! ... Nah still A
Owner: good job, I am back you can take it off Naryuki-kun.
Fumino: I will take these pls...

?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Buy me ice cream. You really are lucky it was me who found out and not other two...

Naryuki: Why?
Fumino: Think yourself!

[wuhugm]

Takemoto is sinking her own ship :heh:

[Tenzen12]

Feel still opposite (kinda), so far "make Yuiga jealous" strategy work flawlessly. Though obviously she lost quite lot points earlier.


Fumino is in good position steal a march quite easily because that.

[The One Above God]

It's a Rizu chapter,
people. Rizu fans are gonna like this one for sure. There are some great scenes here,
particularly at the end.

[Tenzen12]

Honestly I think they should do something more with Rizu, even with that ending she doesn't even level ground with other two. Especially as "That" is definitely (ok, likely) not gonna happen.

[WingedAccelerator]

I liked how in Uruka's flashback, we didn't see Nariyuki's eyes through his glasses, until Uruka asked for his name. ^^

Oh, and Chapter 28 is some fun stuff. :"D


What I just said about Rizu...
Is her gimmick going to be "not understanding emotions/romantic attraction" and doing stuff like randomly kissing Nariyuki, because she still doesn't understand? Tenzen, you mentioned a confession would be cheap. But honestly, that would be more acceptable than her awkward experiments. That could at least led up to character growth, cause her current thinking is not really natural... She is curious, sure, but I have a feeling that she is going to abuse this "not understanding" part of her gimmick.

I am curious will Rizu confess Nariyuki?

[Roxanne]

I think Fumino will end up with Mc because I see more Rizu or Uruka scenes when I read manga :mad:
Besides, Fumino is my favorite girl

[schedmaster]

Chapter 29: The reason for reading this series. You read what you desire and want to experience in life.

[The One Above God]

Finally got ze fix
I really like Sekijou.
Too bad she's not in the race and that she probably won't win anyway even if she was. That aside, I hope there are lasting effects in this arc instead of just going back to the status quo.

[takenashi]

NAAANIIIIIII??!!!
what the hell nariyuki has been kissed in that moment?! looool i was expecting something like that since they were talking about kisses but it appears to be that the mangakas are using a counter no expected story because the cliche O_o

[Tenzen12]

FALSE ALARM, Rizu aborted kiss right before it connected. Then
She failed another one or two attempts. That's all to chapterr 30...

[The One Above God]

Well, that was a pretty cute chapter. Too bad the kiss didn't happen, but it's still in line with Rizu's character so it's okay.

[Tenzen12]

Well, that also means no points were earned so she is still utterly behind her competition.

[takenashi]

well good one 'cause it'd be cliche xD that won't sell again jajaja no one is so close with him at that point but it's insteresting like this.

Just that it needs a clever twist

[amasposu]

Chapter 31:

https://i.imgur.com/C74VFrF.jpg

The new girl is a senpai at his summer prep school. She is super smart. Despite her moe looks, she is 19 years old.

https://i.imgur.com/7wtsoFm.jpg

Immediately, her secret is discovered. She works part-time at a maid cafe.

[amasposu]

Chapter 32:

https://i.imgur.com/OeOUW9s.jpg

One thing led to another, Kominami-senpai's maid cafe secret is found out by her father.

But she explains to her father that it is her boyfriend's hobby (while pointing to Nariyuki Yuiga).

The new Senpai is wayyyyyyyyyyyy more interesting than the other girls. I like her a lot. :D

[wuhugm]

New girls almost always more interesting than original heroines
But they will never win
:heh:

[alex_drian]

Ok, I freaking love the artwork of this manga.

[LevelSeven]

there is a abridged version of chapter 31, it killed me, really worth reading, somewhere in imgur and something related to §meme machine" or something like that

[Tenzen12]

Fake boyfriend schtick, huh. I don't know why, but that never worked with me. It rarely lead to any development.

[amasposu]

Chapter 33:

https://i.imgur.com/RMcjN64.jpg

Kominami-senpai is too cute. :D

In comparison, it is amazing how boring the other three girls are.

[wuhugm]

^Akiramero, she will never win

[Tenzen12]

She certainly is cute, but she isn't relevant. Not as heroine nor as person. She is as irrelevant as Rizu, but much cuter. This manga need start focus more on main heroine Iruka otherwise it will inevitably fall into mediocrity.

[wuhugm]

Such quick development with maid senpai

Author, why are you building this unsinkable "100% will sink" ship?

[Tenzen12]

In a ll seriousness Ashumi doesn't move plot a bit. She is certainly cute and quite assertive, so if she win it would be good twist. But If she can't even catch up with other girls, she can as well not be here in first time place.

As for chapter 33, Fumino manage Smoothly refute any feelings for Naryuki. By not even blushing properly it cannot be even considered progress. In other hand we get some Yuiga x Uruka ecchi as sole guy-girl interaction of chapter. On it's own it isn't important, but he seems keep being pretty aware of her which is quite promising.

[wuhugm]

https://i.imgur.com/UJCPl0N.png


Translated

Ooh, they already use the father knows boyfriend material again

Next ch will be maid cafe again

This is the first time consecutive heroine chapters

It seems maid senpai is special?

[Tenzen12]

Isn't it because she has limited window she can appear so author try get most of it?

[Bonta Kun]

Yea I gotta admit I really like Ashumi.

Got no real problem with her showing up at this stage in the game.

If I had a problem with this is not enough sensei.

[Roxanne]

I want a new chapter about Furuhashi :(

[IceHism]

my god that sensei. (ch 34)

I need sensei route.

[wuhugm]

^Indeed

Well, the 3 main heroines are so template and boring that sub-heroines look way more attractive

[Tenzen12]

Sensei is not my number one, but she cute if she somehow won I wouldn't complain either.

[sayf82]

hope the mangaka dont add another girl because so far they are all greats but just Ogata and Takemoto as love interest is enough for me

[wuhugm]

I hope all 3 main heroines teleported to isekai or something so MC can have unconventional romance

[Tenzen12]

Yay Uruka getting even more flags and Fumino also getting more herself more involved emotionally... maybe.

But darn Uruka using Dereban attack is just too unfair, there just no way any guy could resist that (it would be nice if she got voiced by Myukichi eventually).

Edit: Also lol on Fumino "disguise" she got them completely fooled. Who would guess, just bigger bra could have such effect?

[The One Above God]

We need to see more Sekijou. Anyway, Fumino really shined this chapter. Uruka was cute too.

[Roxanne]

Fumino is really the best!

[wuhugm]

Why did you leave, Sekijou!?

[Ulin]

Because she's just a plot device :)

[WingedAccelerator]

Chapter 36:
I appreciated the last Rizu chapter because of the insight we got on her, even though nothing noteworthy changed with her and Nariyuki's dynamic. But this one was honestly a waste of time. A filler in the filler. By Nisekoi standards, this would be a Tsugumi chapter. Embarrassing moments with forced fanservice, where the main character notices that the girl with the big bust is indeed cute. And yes, the manga needs more Sekijou.

yeah but now that we tasted sensei i cant get enough of her:heh:

[Tenzen12]

Chapter 37 was fun. Fury hashi teach Yuiga how to cook for his sister. That's clearly have to be flag! Right??

Of course it is... for Mafuyu-sensei, that is! Also RIP vegetable:(

[Hujan]

Sensei in this series had a chance to win, considering it is in 3rd years of Highschool as the start of the series, it is different with the other series that start in the first year in Highschool.
so she can just wait until Yuiga graduate.
I kind of like how there is no tsundere in this series.
Furuhashi or Sensei for the winner.

[wuhugm]

You can't go wrong with Sekijou

[Roxanne]

Furuhashi or Sensei for the winner.

I feel that Furuhashi will win :D

[Hujan]

I feel that Furuhashi will win :D

I trust your feeling :D

[sayf82]

I feel that Furuhashi will win :D

i hope you're wrong:mad:

[RedWingFM]

MC has his own festival. In other words, MC goes with his liitle siblings to the summer festival and meet all his girls and spend some time with them.

[Hujan]

That Mafuyu sensei is THICC :heh:

[wuhugm]

There's the english scanlation

Ah, Sekijou is not in in the phone chain :( sad

Still think Ogata will be the winner, coz only she has sub-heroine attached to her

[Hujan]

^What do you mean by sub-heroine, Tora-san?
I like this series because in the first chapter, there 2 heroine with the same standing/position (Furuhasi and Ogata). so there is no main heroine, different from the other series where we can know the main heroine like Aki in Masamune, Chitoge in Nisekoi, Erina in Souma, etc.

and not long after there Childhood Friend (Uruka), that different with the others series that usually introduce the new character after xx-chapter, that make us think no matter how good this heroine, there is noway she will win (example, Marika in Nisekoi), but with Uruka introduce in early chapter, she had more chance than IF she introduce in later chapter (like the senpai, forgot her name).

and there is also Sensei that also had a chance, because introduce in early chapter too (different with Yui-Sensei in Nisekoi), and the series start in 3rd years of HIghschool, which mean she can just wait for 1 year and can dating Yuiga (If She win).

This series is interesting because we dont know who will win.

[wuhugm]

^From the latest chapter we can say that Furuhashi, Ogata, Uruka, Sensei, and Senpai are heroines of the same level.

Then there's a sub-heroine that is Sekijou and she is attached to Ogata (as best friend)

Also among the heroines, only 2 that has their family member shown (dad), Senpai and Ogata (again)

Not to forget, the sole kiss is too for Ogata

Huge chance Ogata will win

[The One Above God]

^We all love Sekijou but she's no sub-heroine, man :heh:. She only has eyes for her rival.

Accidental kisses doesn't have good record though. Plus really there isn't much chemistry between Yuiga and Ogata. Author would have to once again change characters dynamics do give her chance.

A major candidates are Fumino and Uruka (with Uruka having bit edge imho, but that's debatable) Ogata pretty far behind.

Then Sensei > Mashumi > Sekijou

[wuhugm]

^Fumino took the stance of matchmaker which is usually change into winner, but has the chance to stay that way as well

If any of Uruka's friends become a sub-heroine then Uruka might win

^We all love Sekijou but she's no sub-heroine, man :heh:. She only has eyes for her rival.

At least she has more appearance than for example, Uruka's friends

[dragon1412]

the chance in highest is probably either Fumino or Uruka, Uruka got the luck of being the girl that's MC aware of, Fumino is the matchmaker, in most normal case, the matchmaker is the most easy to turn into the winner. but like people said, Uruka has quite the advantage. Ogata, sadly is a little behind, I'd say the chance for Ogata to get the end is high, not quite as high as Fumino or Uruka though.

in the case of sub heroines, better to said it as support characters, so far, Ogata is the luckiest one here, with 2 support characters (dad and Sekijou). While even senpai only have 1 (dad). the support here is refer to those that actually came in contact with MC, so I won't count Uruka friends here. Ogata also get 1st kiss, which is a major boost in Victory flag.

[wuhugm]

^Right~

I think the winning girl will be revealed at ch39

The end of ch38, when everyone went to the festival, "all 5" of the heroines appeared
But Yuiga missed (almost?) the last train and there's a girl who also missed it but only shown the silhouette
Not Ashumi-senpai coz we saw her left with her dad

[thefreakmike]

PLOT TWIST: The secret girl turns out to be Sekijou, Sekijou winner confirmed :heh:

[wuhugm]

^I would be dancing in joy then~
Next best thing after Masamune no Revenge's development :D

[Tenzen12]

39 will likely be pretty big flag, but even if it change status quo in one or other way, I doubt it will be really decisive one just yet.

[amasposu]

https://i.imgur.com/V8JtQYs.jpg
Chapter 38's color page is pretty.

[Signa]

Honestly, after reading through ch.38 I hope that the silhouette is not some new girl who so happens to be Nariyuki's childhood friend who was never mentioned in the whole manga until now due to some weird circumstances. It would honestly ruin it for me.

On a side note. I'm not sure if it's just me but so much sh*t has happened within 30 chapters within this manga. I'm not really sure rn, but it just feels kind of fast for me.

[Tenzen12]

It doesn't have same pace as TLR or Nisekoi, that's for sure.

[wuhugm]

Author's previous manga is short too, but hit all the right button
Romance was only sub-plot but it did have clear romantic ending (actually chose a girl)
Fukashigi Philia, check it out

I think this too won't be a long manga and that silhoutte girl will be the winner
You can ignore all heroine exclusive chapters, the important thing is the girl that stands out in general/all heroines chapter, like this festival one

[Tenzen12]

I think it's half way point now. As for unknown girl, best scenario is it's Fumino and next chapter give us epiphany of her feelings. In that case it's just start of the game between her and Uruka as only one is official love interest now.

If it's Rizu it will probably ends just as always with no major progress. Same with Sekijou and sub heroines.

[Hujan]

^^ when you said author previous manga, what come in my mind are Fukashigi Philia and Koisome Momiji, turn out Koisome is from Yuuna author, lol. I forgot cause both are author in SWJ.

agree that the unknown girl most likely is Fumino, because in chapter 38, Fumino is the only one that dont get her alone time with Yuiga. beside Senpai and Ogata are with their parent, and he just part way with Sensei. while Uruka is his friend from middle school (considering japanese choose their school based on location, so "maybe" their house is not too far or at least need the same train). best chance is Fumino, the second is Sekijou.

and IF the ending for manga IS until they graduate, then it wont be long. but I hope it will be long series, with the end NOT just Yuiga end with someone but continuing their relationship as lover.

[Ulin]

^^ when you said author previous manga, what come in my mind are Fukashigi Philia and Koisome Momiji, turn out Koisome is from Yuuna author, lol. I forgot cause both are author in SWJ.

Uks, I liked KM very much, I guess that proves that he should stick to drawing :heh::heh:

I don't really think it is going to happen. Don't forget this is a romcom in the end, and those usually ends when the relationship starts:heh:

[The One Above God]

Who I think may be the mystery character on the station:

Kirisu - She's injured and she could have gotten delayed because of the kid. Also, even though her house is apparently 5 mins away from Yuiga's, she might hold him up because it's dead in the night and it could be dangerous.

Fumino - Most probable candidate. She could have gotten lost are got caught up in some other thing. Also, there's the kid.

Sekijou - 'Cause why not? :heh:

Just hoping that Yuuna will have True Harem ending, I mean there is predecessor for manga in japanese setting to have a harem ending right (forgot the title).

also, that's the problem with romcom series, the series usually end when the relationship start. that's why series like Kyou no Yuiko-san is a gem (IMO) because the story about their relationship without misunderstanding, angsty, or NTR feeling (not necessarily NTR).

[wuhugm]

^^Sekijou all the way

If possible not Fumino coz it's just too predictable

Also I like it when side-heroine wins :heh: like this : TS Tenseishite Masaka Sub-Heroine ni (https://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?t=149827)

I don't really think it is going to happen. Don't forget this is a romcom in the end, and those usually ends when the relationship starts:heh:

In Fukashigi Philia it did end when they became couple (lil bit more complicated than that but)

Sekijou - 'Cause why not? :heh:

So far in my eye:
1 - Fumino, the most probable candidate, reason being she is the sole girl who don't have much interaction with MC this chapter, all girls interact with him for a period of time except her, so Fumino is likely strolling the festival alone and have the highest chance of meeting the kid, the sole issue here is too predictable

2 - Kirisu, quite high as well, like above said, she could have been delayed and meet the kid

Ogata and Senpai is obviously out, since they came with family, and obviously leaving together with their father. Leaving only Uruka left, but she had her date, so her chance is actually minimal. Sekijou actually has better chance than her.

As for the big flag, I'd say it's depend on who get it, if it's Uruka, then she is set for Victory, however the case is different if it's Kirisu, she might, at most even out at the Ogata rank/

Fumino got her fair share of compliments from Nariyuki about her being a true Yamato nadeshiko, so I feel like it's unnecessary to get her additional time with him. She still insists on being a wingwoman, so no need to force the participant role one chapter later, not to mention she decided to leave on her own volition to support Uruka.

That being said, I think it's more likely that the mysterious girl is going to be someone that we know, but not present. Pretty much Sekijou or Mizuki, but if the sleepover refers to Nariyuki's home, than it means it's not her little sister.

Other options:
- If it's Uruka, then it's indeed a pretty big victory flag for her.
- If it's a new character (Not even once mentionen childhood friend, or Not even once mentioned kouhai), then I will be mad.

Oh, also let me just say that I really like Asumi's color scheme.

These reasons you noted are exactly why it should be Fumino. She needs score some points outside of her wingman role, either to make Naryuki see her as potential LI or see herself as one. From that point fight is on.

Uruka, even if it was her doesn't get that much in comparison. She could gradate their mutual romantic tension, but status quo will not change until much closer graduation. Well unless full-blown confession happens, but it's too soon after she denied it.

[WingedAccelerator]

The author likes to keep up the balance/semi-balance with the screentimes, and we just had the disguised Fumino chapter, then an Rizu one, then Fumino with harem, and now a harem one. Unless it's led to a 2-3 chapters character arc, I don't think it's going to be a Fumino one. Although your reasons are also logical to why it should be.

Inb4 it's Rizu's mom, who got mentioned in chapter 36, and who looks exactly like Rizu, so Nariyuki thinks it's her. :heh:

[Tenzen12]

Well last Fumino chapter, belonged her just by name though. I would say it was sensei chapter instead. So even if you insist on balanced timescreen argument it still should work.

new episode is out?

[WingedAccelerator]

There is a "maybe" there.

Unless the little girl's remark about the "beautiful big sister" is a separate plot from the mysterious person, then it can't be a guy.

^sayf82 is the troll all along...

And the mysterious person is...


Fumino.

Title: In The Eyes of A Genius, The Lights In The Sky Are "X"

Fumino noticed that she'll barely missed the train while star gazing when she noticed lost little girl. (She didn't mention any of that to Nariyuki, however, because of how stupid she was being, and brush it off by saying that girls have secrets that they can't say.)

The two then tried to find a taxi, but because Fumino isn't too used to walking in geta (Japanese Wooden Slippers), they rubbed her foot in pain. They then went into a hotel that happened to find, but there was only one room left. Nariyuki told Fumino that he can walk back while she stays here, but in the end, the two stayed at the hotel as siblings, with Fumino being the older sister.

Fumino said that it'll be fine as long as their futons are separated... except there's only one set.

Nariyuki and Fumino tried to let the other person have the futon, but because of how cold the night was, the two decided to share the futon.

Though they seem to put up a brave front, Nariyuki's heart was actually pounding very fiercely. Nariyuki thought about taking his mind off of this through a conversation when they looked out the window and saw stars glittering. Fumino was beyong excited, and remembered the book, "The Lights In The Sky Are Stars" she read with her mother when she was young.

Upon seeing her like that, Nariyuki commented on how Fumino and others are willing to conquer what they're bad at in order to chase after their dream is very admirable. Though he wants his family to live comfortably, he himself doesn't have a dream/goal of what he wants to do specifically, and is actually envious of her. Fumino told him that once he finds what he wants to do, as his "older sister", she'll support him 100%.

At that point, Nariyuki was reminded of Asumi's words of what he plans to do after the exams are over. As Nariyuki was thinking this over, Fumino fell asleep. As she uttered the word "mother" in her sleep, she had a dream of her and her mother when she was alive.

In her dream, Fumino's mother told the young Fumino that when she's gone, she'll merely be teleported onto a star in her favorite book. Fumino's mother told Fumino that she'll be watching over her, so be sure to try and find her whenever a beautiful starry sky is out.

Then, because it got a bit cold, Fumino had a dream of being comfortably held in her mother's hand when she woke up. Fumino found herself holding Nariyuki's hand as the latter slept. Fumino got a bit agitated, but quickly fell asleep next to him.

The next day, though a bit tired, Fumino was mentally apologizing to Rizu and Uruka for doing something so embarrassing. Nariyuki then woke up, finding himself hugging Fumino. Embarrassed, he apologized to Fumino...mentally as well.

Miscellaneous Info:
The name Fumino wrote down: Yuiga Fumino.

Yosshhaaa :hyper-^v^: ... thanks for the spoiler.
also I dont quite understand abou the Miscellaneous Info :confused:

[wuhugm]

^MC's family name is Yuiga yo

So Fumino is the winner eh, case closed

[Tenzen12]

Not so fast pal. Fumino needed this flag either way if she wanted have a shot for victory. Whether she size it is completely different matter.
