Sounds accurate.

He became Yukino's family stool, he lost his charm, that's what I (and others) liked from him.

Then the last 3 volumes took him 3 years, if the final one won't get delayed again further. At this point, I'm only curious how it ends.

From my perspective, Haganai "killed the hype" when it stopped being about the comedy and antics and became a full blown romance drama, only for that to be invalidated anyway by "Huh, what was that?"

While I won't deny this series was hurt by the hiatus, I feel that it was hurt by the horrendous pacing and drama even before that. Early on in the series when there was character drama, it was at least resolved within the the volume or the next one on top of being padded with dark humor that still lightened the mood.

For example, when Hachiman shut down Yui and gave his "I hate kind people" monologue, it was resolved in the next book. When the cultural festival mess started in volume 5, it was resolved in volume 6.

Meanwhile, ever since book 7 (or the S2 anime content), Hachiman's self-loathing and the Service Club tension lasts for over 2 books before they ever resolve it, and Hachiman is too busy being a martyr to poke fun into the series like he used to in the initial half, now third of the series. When he messed things up during the Kyoto trip at the end of volume 7, they would not make amends until after the Christmas arc at the end of volume 9.

Now since the Christmas arc ended and we ended up getting into Yukino's family drama, we've come yet again into this spiral where there's little respite from the drama because Hachiman is too miserable to crack as many jokes as he used to, but now because of the long hiatus, we also don't have a payoff like the Christmas arc.

Sure, we always knew Hachiman was a flawed character and that he would eventually have to pay for his mistakes, but the charm that he had early on in the series when he was making jabs at his fellow classmates has been greatly diminished now that he's too preoccupied with his own drama.

The series is named "My Youth Romantic Comedy...", but the comedy part from our main protagonist has been sorely missing ever since the Christmas arc ended.

so its yukinon end though if it even ended up as at least bitter sweet ending is a miracle.

Ulin · 2019-10-30, 04:03

I was hoping for a group cover, or at least a yukino+hachiman one but I'll take this anyway

Sorry; dynamic content not loaded. Reload?

So, I guess it's safe to assume that 14 will feature Yukino

Aha, I called it! Really excited to see how it all ends!

Ichinotachi · 2019-10-30, 23:23

Yukino in the cover for the last vol, nothing surprising there. I just want to see how this ends because the writing went down the toilet long ago, add to that the constant delays and you end up with this.

There are only 2 options here, 8man either ends up with Yukino or alone. Either way sensei was always the best girl.

Skyterror3381 · 2019-10-31, 10:11

Yukino looked like she either waved goodbye or hello. Either way, I’m guessing he’ll end up alone. But I don’t mind or care if he end up with someone. At this point, just wanna know the ending, whatever it may be.

amtro Distro Join Date: Jun 2009	Spoiler for spoilers posted by spyro: A little snippet in the final chapter after the confession in chapter 9. "By the way, would you like to come over and have dinner tomorrow? My mother seems rather interested in you... and insisted." "...Can you say no for me?" "You really think I would do that?" "...Oh, I've got some plans tomorrow, yeah!" "If you're talking about Komachi-san, she'll be home late because she'll be looking for clubs to join. Totsuka-kun has tennis school, and Zai... Zaitsu-kun? He can just wait until next time, right?" Yukinoshita stated nonchalantly. The fact she knew the schedules of everyone around me was downright frightening. Every excuse I had hoped to fling in her direction were shot down. Yukinoshita placed her elbow on the desk and looked into my face as I could only muster an "o-okay..." "So, who else is there? Hayama-kun? "Nope, not even. Definitely nothing there." And why exactly do I need to spend time with him after school? Plans with the thers aside, I completely refuse anything involving him. After my response, Yukinoshita wore a triumphant smile. "That means you have nothing planned, then? That's great to hear." Hachiman's whipped husband in the future confirmed. __________________ OniisamaTL is currently looking for translation checkers.
