279.........

Man.... I dunno what to say.

Final arc started, chapter 280 is titled Last Dance 1.

Darth SpiderDen · 2013-05-10, 11:22

Hope everything is resolved by the end of the arc, including Bossuns and Himekos relation (even if they stay as friends, lovers, couple, whatever, as long as it stays clear at the end what they are for each other is fine with me)

aohige · 2013-05-10, 11:55

Hmm, interesting start of arc.

Seems promising.
This reminds me, has any of the previous chapters explained how Bossun got Switch on his team? If I remember correctly, the flashback arc to Switch show only what caused him to not utter any words, but it seemed to end at a point where he would become a shut-in, so I was curious to know how Bossun handled that.

aohige · 2013-05-10, 12:02

Yes, actually. It was quite a few arcs back... scanlations haven't reached it yet?
If it's only like a year behind, it should be hitting the arc anytime now.

Wait, I think I recall seeing discussion on it in English, so I think scanlations already covered it.
I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure I've seen people discuss the pony-tail Himeko on a bike scene.

EDIT: I just went to check on it... the arc you're talking about, "Switch On" starts in chapter 241.
Dunno what the current scanlation pace is, but perhaps it's right about to get to it.

Its just that I havent seen the arc yet on the released scanlations yet. But it's ok, just wondering since a lot of time passed between Switch story.
Alas on to the final arc, let's see how it plays out.

Switch really needs to do something about BossunxHimeko in this final arc. Himeko is quite aware of her feelings towards Bossun, but the latter is so dense, he will need someone to force him to realize it.

I don't think Bossun is completly oblivious to Himekos feelings for him or even his feeling for her on that matter.
The way I see it it's more on the fact that Bossun hasn't reached a stage where he strives for a love relationship and still acts like a kid. I kinda bet that by the end of the high school life he will develop these feelings and will make a decision regarding Himeko. Till then he won't make any kind of move that may raise any flag (probbaly in order to not get anyones hopes up).
But that's the way I see it.

Perhaps the reason why I feel that way is because I am not up to date with the manga (I have only managed to reach chapter 202) but yeah, maybe like you said, deep down he does realize his feelings for Himeko.

The feeling I get is more like: I may have some feelings for you but I want to keep the way things are for now, not forever (like most shounen stories) but until graduation. After that I will come to a decision regarding these feelings. On the off chance you develop feeling for someone else, I will not interfere and let you decide your own path....thats the kind of vibe I get from Bossuns actions.

bastek66 · 2013-05-10, 13:47

I'm afraid about conclusion for BossunXHimeko now, last arc now surpised me being so soon.
Kinda hoping that Bossun is pulling Kodaka-like densiness.

RainbowMagnet · 2013-05-12, 10:49

Man, I can't believe we're almost at the end

Will miss this manga.

bastek66 · 2013-05-17, 11:27

It could be because the Chinese scantalations were caught up, but not the English ones. Quite a number of people here can read Chinese.

Bakaizer · 2013-05-21, 10:18

can anyone spoil me how is the relationship between bossun and saaya is progressing, since the raws lead to chapter 280 already and lastest updates lead to 241

aohige ( ಠ_ಠ) Join Date: Jul 2006 Location: Somewhere, between the sacred silence and sleep	279......... Spoiler: Sket Dan and the student council both passed on their mantle to the younger generation. Pocket Dan will officially take on the name of Sket Dan, and Kiri will become the new student president. Both the new generation struggled to carry the heavy mantle, but both parties matured to take on the responsibility. Bossun's team is going to disband, since graduation is near. The twins tear down the last bit of wall between them, and start to call each other on first name basis. Meanwhile, the chapter ends with a evil, draconian chairman takes over the school, who tells the president of the school he will fire anyone who disobeys him, including you. Looks very much like the final arc of the story is kicking off next chapter. Man.... I dunno what to say. __________________

aohige ( ಠ_ಠ) Join Date: Jul 2006 Location: Somewhere, between the sacred silence and sleep	Hmm, interesting start of arc. Spoiler: The "villain" is completely unreasonable, but not inherently evil... simply misguided in his dedication due to tragedy that fell upon his son. The new chairman... son of "Cyclops" the previous chairman, wishes to abolish anything that would doesn't pertain to studies, and lay a very strict rule on the school... including abolishing festivals. Basically a "no fun allowed" stereotype. He condemns individualism and expression. His son was a victim of bullying, his unique personality secluded him from the norm. Due to intense bullying, he has become both a physical an a mental shut-in, refusing to utter any words or attend school. Observing what befell his son, the chairman became convinced that "unique" individualism is the cause of strife and unreasonable bullying, and decides to dis-encourage it at all cost. Bossun argues back, using his friends as an example. He even knows of a guy who refuses to speak out, just like the chairman's son... but he is currently the most popular man in the school! He challenges the chairman, telling him they will prove him wrong if only he takes back the abolishing of the upcoming school festival this once. They'll prove to him the importance of having unique individuals. The chairman accepts the challenge... with one condition. His son will be the judge, and they have to make him SAY he enjoyed it. And the price of losing is Bossun getting expelled from school. Sket Dan along with all of their friends in the school band together for their final fight. So starts the "Last Dance" arc. __________________
