I'm pretty sure I'm seeing some major jumping to conclusions in this thread right now.

I was thinking the same thing this very moment. How many creators across various media have we heard say the equivalent of, "I don't think of this as [familiar genre]--to me it's [airy-fairy restatement of gist of familiar genre]"?

Then the work turns out to be pretty much [familiar genre] with, at best, a bit of a twist.

I think it's a way they keep themselves from just wallowing in genre tropes or getting swamped by audience expectations.

could you gime some examples because i´ve never heard of this specific situation in any kind of media

Sorry, nothing off the top of my head, but I’ve heard it lots of times from writers, TV producers, and movie directors, most commonly about genres like science fiction or fantasy, but also romance and horror. It’s a pretty common way to set interviewers back on their heels, when they ask some question that assumes that So-and-So’s work is obviously whatever genre, and then get a reply like, “It’s really a family tragedy that just happens to have elves.”

Judge stories by what happens in the stories, IMO

f the actual text of Nettaigyo stays good then I don't really care if the author says "and then 10 years later they were all abducted by aliens" or whatever

Hagino 10 years later: Koyuki and Konatsu had a very intense sexual relationship

Hagino I never said it wasn't a lizard or that she was white

Man, I hated when they cast an iguana in the theatrical adaptation.

I'm cumming! Said the drama covered in jelly.

I have to said this again.
Kaede is BEST GIRL

If this isn't about romance, why does Koyuki make such a big deal out of it? If they are only friends, they should behave like ones.

Sigh I really wanted more from this chapter

I see best girl usurped the chapter title.

Have we seen Kaede's siblings or Yamagishi before?

Kaede's siblings were simply mentioned in the previous chapter, never shown so far. Yamagishi has been around since chapter 1, she's the other girl in the home economy club Kaede is always with, although she wasn't called by name until I believe the culture festival, specifically page 21 of chapter 13.

Can we finally get some action from Konatsu?? These chapters are sweet and all but the non-progressing nature of their relationship is starting to get on my nerves

This entire volume seems to have been centered around Koyuki's (and eventually Kaede's) side of things and her inability to tell Konatsu what she wants, so hopefully the next one shifts back to her perspective.

Kaede being a chapter title... and that last page. Hmmmm.
