@sasabit
Many people hate her due to diffenret reasons. Some are hipocrats who hate her for being a "slut" (had sex only one time) but you don see that same people throwing shit to Allen (a manwhore) or Sophie (sluttier). Other problem that I saw a lot in manga threads is because readers believe she cheat on him (Threesome) despite them not being a couple. Some (Me included) hate the attitude she had with Tanaka at the beginning, but it doesn't mean that you have to keep hating her when she already changed. I actually like Esther when she is not stupid bitch (attitude). Some hate her just because she dump Allen. @Kuroageha Quote:
She even stated in her diary how she fell in love with Tanaka. Spoiler:
The reasons that make her fall for Tanaka were: - Kindness (She as the someone who has been taught all her life to act perfect (Like any noble girl) and needs approbation (As we can see in her attitude with her dad) became a hindrance -hostage- yet he refused to leave her and never blame her, swore to ever be by her side no matter.) - Admiration (She like Fahren admires magic) - Bravery (Where other doubt or were afraid, he acted even risking his own safety (Wyvern).) - Every man she met always told her that she was beautiful and that they loved her so her perspective of love was dull and hollow and never felt what meant to be truly loved or being in love (I'm used to being loved, it's normal to be told that they love me because I am the daughter of a great family of the nobility. It was always like this.) As she said (What I feel for Allen is a fundamentally different emotion) it's because what she feels for him is just passion, what she liked about him it's just his appearance just like how 95% of all girls in this serie react towards Allen (Cyan, Sofia, her classmates, commoner girls in High Orc attack, every single woman in fitzclarence party, etc.) Allen was just the chad in school that every girl had a crush and later appears a guy that makes them forget about him.

Let's say you had start dating one of the most beautiful girls in school (no deep feelings just sexual attraction like Esther), you and her don't share any intereset (magic in Esther's case) you just start hanging around for the last few months (IIRC Tanaka, orc mission was one of Esther's first adventures) like you could do with any person, then a new girl moves to your block, you met her in the store, you start talking, became friends, etc. She's superb in the things you like (Magic), you admire her and even want to be more like her (Tanaka's fireball), suddenly you realized you developed feelings for her. Are you not allowed to want to be with her? Would you not just end the relationship and then try to go for the girl you really like? Damn you even catch your gf (Allen) cheat you with your friend (Sophie) yet you are the bad one for breaking up? Again Esther-haters are hypocrites. The problem is author make it way to rushed and everything in front of Allen and that sucks as readers tend to reflect themselves with characters, but as you said we know Esther didn't have any bad intention she just said I want to be this guy and I don't want to wait.

Just read what's translated of this. It's decent and I found Nishino a surprisingly deep and sympathetic character. My main gripe with this is that the riajuu in this series is beyond dumb and seem to only exist to act like assholes to Nishino.
For those that have read the raws does Nishino have better luck with girls that are not Rose or naw? Also any type of spoiler people are interested in sharing would be nice. |

Rose and the silver hair loli is the only one confirmed.
Latest raw seems like Francisca has proposed a business marriage. Class pres seem to show "hints", but... tbd There was also a girl(Igarashi?) from the part-time job that might've turned into something real... but it's probably a one-shot for that volume |

Having read the batch of updates I have to say I sincerely pray for the author this work is never ever adapted to anime.
Author seriously shot himself in the foot by pulling an Ume so early on with Shimizu. For reference Ume is a character from Ben-to, a series animated by David Productions. Tldr she was a bitch that physically beat the shit out of MC for no reason. When ep9 came to the anime there was a massive backslash from the audience that affected the series' pre sales for all of it's merchandising to the point it bend the author to basically rewrite Ume's character in the LN. Here it's worse in comparison and I doubt the audience would forgive Nishino compared to Satou.

In Ume's case she was meant to be a gag character. She's the "hahaha look at this violent jealous lesbian chick abusing the MC. So funny XD" type of character similar to Kuroko from To Aru. Her issue was always that for a gag character she was hopelessly unfunny and she had no other notable qualities or backstory, or even interesting character dynamcis in the anime for the audience to cheer for or even hate unlike Kuroko who had some other qualities besides being a crazy lesbian chick. Basically if you're just a gag character with no other traits and you're not funny, there's no point in your character existing. In Shimizu's case her beating the MC was played for drama. Before that she was a bitch but she didn't physically abuse the MC until that incident involving the money combined with how (from her perspective) the MC was only getting the the way of her cultural festival which caused her to snap. Her beating the Nishino who is usually so unflappable, is treated as something serious instead of something meant to be laughed off and for good or bad it also represents a change in character dynamics between the two after Nishino convinced her to stop. Don't get me wrong, I still hate her character (especially when she didn't show any remorse for wrongfully beating Nishino) but unlike anime Ume I could understand why her character exists. I don't disagree with you on the premise that her character and the scene in general will be hated if it got adapted into a anime but it won't be for the same reason as Ume. |

No. Your comparison is the one wrong.
Kuroko is never seen trying to get on Touma's life nor she harbours Malice towards him for petty reasons. She is the perverted friend Mikoto has blown up to eleven. Ume was a poor attempt of a gag character that author made more intense and got a huge backslash because it want funny at all. My comparison to Shimizu was the pointless malice that ends as bullying isn't meant to be funny here or if it was the author utterly failed. Back to my main point: Ume was hated for pointless violence and Shimizu will be hated even more because she has worse traits on her.

hmmm... we'll see? Class pres interaction to Nishino gets alot less after volume 4 (trip arc). I do foresee her coming back after the current latest raw (volume 8 i think?) though.
Volume 2, is basically trying to paint the picture of how rock bottom Nishino is in terms of the school hierarchy, and that Nishino is actually pretty damn smart... even more so when he tries. It's really there to show that even though he tries so hard in the background, his social standing still doesn't improve (but he'll still keep on trying). Hell, throughout the story he'll always put his classmate safety above all else even though they treat him like crap, which kinda net him the silver hair loli's heart even though she's a lesbo (you'll see the line from color illus.) Shimizu will get a bit of a stance in the underworld thanks to the community she created for her... "dance video", and she'll also get connected to Francisca due to it. Ah, but she's definitely a b!tch in Volume 2. You're supposed to get the "haha serves you right, asshole" feel when finished reading it as you discover Rose is actually madly in love with Nishino. |

I don't get the impression from volume 1/2 that he wanted to be normal. He wants to experience romance with a girl but he seems pretty content with his life in the underworld and doesn't try to get out of it. |
