Bokutachi wa Benkyou ga Dekinai

So, if each route follows this template, the differences are the jinx girl and that Uruka's arc didn't happen.

[shanimebib]

^Pretty much. The jinx girl happened but it is X = Insert your girl.

Assume that the last bit of the story is Nariyuki getting Sensei's hug along with Rizu and Fumino and then going straight home. There was no confession, no graduation arc. This is because Uruka is special compared to the other heroines. Her arc is kept for the last and made into a post graduation arc. As WingedAccelerator said, that is why the final line of her arc is also the title drop. It connects all the Nariyuki monologues as a protagonist to the final moment i.e. end of Chapter 149. This is why the title of Chapter 150 is not "the Ephemeral Little Mermaid gets drenched to the skin by the Promised [X] Part 9" but "[X] = ..."

Also, while other chapters ended with ? or ! or -- as side notes from the no specific person or as third person, chapter 149's comment became first person and ends with ”I fell in love, with You [full stop]”. This is untranslated in the english release.

Basically, we can also assume none of the heroine arcs happened. Also, as many pointed out, Uruka arc was also basically Nariyuki's arc in disguise. Unlike the other arcs.

Curious to see how much time passes by the end of 2/5. And also how many chapters.

Should have secret route for Sekijou
And also Kawase, Uruka's friend

If this were eroge, fans would beg for Fandiscs

[shanimebib]

The Good Looking Ranking in Bokuben for me is like this:

#1 Sekijou
#2 Mafuyu
#3 Kawase
#4 Kobayashi
#5 Miharu
#6 Fumino
#7 Rizu
#8 Uruka
#9 Asumi
#10 Mizuki

The Cuteness Ranking in Bokuben for me is like this:

#1 Uruka
#2 Nariyuki
#3 Mizuki
#4 Rizu
#5 Mafuyu
#6 Umihara
#7 Sekijou
#8 Miharu
#9 Asumi
#10 Fumino

I wonder if we'll see any children in any of the remaining routes.

I remember at least one route of Amagami showing a kid.

[WingedAccelerator]

People also speculate that the routes could start at different part of their lives, banking on Nariyuki being an adult coworker of Sensei on Sensei's route.

[ImperialFlameGod8190]

The Rizu chapter is out and it's.... lame just lame

[Lex79]

Seems like Tsutsui is fond of using ghosts to bring his characters together.

[Hakai]

Can't wait to see Fumino mama's ghost

[WingedAccelerator]

Definitely a mixed bag. Like I have said, using a different starting timeframe is a good idea, but the execution is just lackluster. The IF Route acknowledges events from the original 149 chapters, but HOW Nariyuki branched towards Rizu lacks a sufficient buildup. Sure, she is the fireworks girl here, sure, Uruka went abroad without confessing, but when Nariyuki just appeared in the apartment, he felt like a random mob character from D-Frag!. It feels artificial.

They could use yosuga no sora's method of returning to a specific point in time before theu diverge like the part where uruka didnt confess. A few scene of their after test gathering before they jump to a 10 mnths after rather than what was did in this ch...
Also possible Rizu is being use as test dummy to see the readers reaction... for the remaining 3 route...

"Planned for quite a long time" - Tsutsui

[NeutralZero]

Welp
Loli big boob always had the short end of the stick...
Well it might be planned but the phasing on how the story goes...
unless we get confirmation from the author.
We'll just have to wait for a next interview regarding this
We now have one ch for her route a few more to fill one volume.
Hope they pick up pace comparable to tan line's ending...

[Hakai]

2/5 was going be underwhelming even if the author planned this before chapter 1.
That's how it is with Rizu unfortunately. Still it's only 1 chapter, hopefully it gets more interesting

[wuhugm]

Is there any poll in Japan about preferring Sekijou over Rizu?

Good lord almighty. Yeah at this point if this were a VN Sekijou would definitely be in demand for a fandisc.

[~Yami~]

this is almost like Sekijou's route

and that little ghost... I didn't expect her to appear again

[NeutralZero]

Route 2 is like a buy one take one package with rizu err sekijou as the take 1.
Regarding uruka route not happening,
The issue here is if she didnt have one in this route
D outhing can still be her arc - the confession.
If we consider that outing as nariyuki's arc for an uruka end then the tournament n pool ch comes to my mind.
2ch. short but uruka focused.
If we look back, sensei had 3, fumi 5 rizu1.5 as majority of it was hijack by fumi,senpai cnt remember
as long as we dont consider fumi's ch length as d standard for an arc but rather d arc is their end goal. Then it fits the bill. Uru's career, sensei's decision as a teacher, fumi's dream of d star, rizu's game and psychology, senpai's hope to inherit the clinic...
While d relationship side given to moeyuki as his arc/closing of route.

Ok fuck it I need a clarification:

Assuming that chapter 69 is Shrodinger's Waifu (that shadow is the girl of whichever timeline), and from there up to a certain point is the common timeline, which chapter is the accepted point of timeline divergence? Specifically speaking:

Common timeline -> Chapter 69 Girl Variation (1 of 5) -> Return to Common Timeline -> "Divergence Point?"
