gfdi Kou you neutron star, even Hotaru can see it

She hasn't even met Rin yet, but she's already figured it out.

Kou is definitely my favorite character in this manga! The last two chapters have been amazing.

I was so lucky to discover this manga a month ago, it has two anime seasons that I'm enjoying immensely, and the work aspects of game design are so real xD. I worked a year as a game dev for AAA games, the overtime was BRUTAL. That the producer (Shizuku in this case) changes things so much and devs run around trying to finish so much stuff brings back so many memories.

Make up your mind Catherine!

There seems to be a large response along the lines of "what the hell is Catherine even thinking?"

But, more importantly, second:
I think that "you neutron star" is my favourite insult now.

Hello everyone. I'd like to take a moment of your time to introduce this new, young and talented artist to the team. And as a way to further show how little I care for the work you have loyally performed for this company over the years, I'm going to yave her design the face of the game. Thank's for your time, and fuck you all.

Hey, remember the lemon-squeezing analyses on this board concerning proper real-life game-development protocols, and how people were completely misreading a character’s behavior because they were ignorant about how a game company actually works?

Good times, good times.

Actually, no they weren’t—in fact, they were pretty damned tedious times. But all that’s certainly far distant in the rear-view mirror now . . .

Honestly it seems pretty clear that the author has given up any sense of reality (or even internal consistency) to just forcefully railroad the story along the track he wants it to follow.

But if you hang in there, things start getting better once this arc ends. For the time being, at least. I can only hope whatever drama he ends up planning for the next arc isn't as nonsensical as it has been for the past few.

This. I mean Kou giving Aoba a chance to design "Sophie" an NPC seemed realistic but Hotaru just joined the company- has no experience in game character design but yeah fuck all the others, Hotaru you draw our big theme. Makes total sense. And Catherine is a businesswoman, she is only looking out for her company that dialogue made total sense after the Hotaru fiasco.

I’ve been telling you—all this series needed was Yagami back and everything picks right up.

This is true. Storyline, frankly, is still somewhat inconsistent but Kou adds to hilarity, maturity and yuri-goodness making every chapter she's in much much more enjoyable.

We should work up a scale of girl haremness with Iono as a 10
Iono a 10 Yurika a 9 Ueno/Takei Hisa an 8 ... Nishikino Maki a 6 ... Kuroki Tomoko a 1 (she does get a couple girl-grabs in). I think Aoba's a solid 5.

I have to quote my WRONG self about how WRONG I was giving the WRONG number to Kuroki. She's a solid 7 or 8. In my defense she snuck up on me.

Who'd be a good thirsty 1?

I think the big difference between Aoba and Hotaru is we've had it hammered into our heads since the very first mention of her that Hotaru is some sort of artistic savant where as Aoba had no where near that level of raw talent. I think Hotaru's arc will likely revolve around how little actual work experience she has and her struggle to adapt her artistic talents to an actual commercial project. There are a lot of genius artists out there with tremendous talent that don't make very good commercial illustrators because they are unable to reconcile their passion and sense of aesthetics with those of the client's. Imagine trying to get Monet or Salvador Dali to design the logo and box art for a new brand of kids cereal.

My ex girl friend is a very gifted artist to the point she had a relatively famous band approach her to do the cover art for their next album because they loved her work so much, but the stress of working for someone else was just to much for her so she turned down the project. Being a very talented artist doesn't always equate to being successful as a commercial designer but if you can find a truly gifted artist that is able to adapt their talents to a commercial setting they will become a tremendous asset. Raw talent cannot be taught. Catherine is certainly taking a gamble that her new diamond in the rough can be polished into an amazing asset for her company, but it doesn't make what she is doing stupid.

Why does every subtext story I follow have to get exponentially more gay with each chapter?

Does Catherine remind anyone else of Catherine from Fire Emblem: Three Houses(not just the name, but also the hair and skin tone)?

Did anyone compare the artstyle of the first few chapters and the latest ones? I never noticed how it has changed from a more mature style to more moe.

This is in fact incorrect. I can mathematically prove that the gayness of this series does not diverge strictly to infinity, thus it cannot grow exponentially.

Let g(n) a real number that describes the gayness and n the number of chapter.
Since your observation is indeed correct, that the relationship develops more with each chapter - at least on average - we need to prove the convergence of the series.
Let N be an positive integer so that g(N) = boderline explicit content (e.g. kissing). Since we know that no more than fanservice can be content of the manga, let epsilon be a real number bigger than 0. we know that for all n > N the gayness can be written as |g(n) - g(N)| <= |g(n) - Gay| < epsilon, which statisfies the criteria (or in this case, is in fact the definition of convergence) for convergence. q.e.d.

I’m not particularly seeing it. Could you post comparison images or links to illustrate what you’re talking about?

I think the earlier chapters are more detailed in the backgrounds (there are more later panels with no backgrounds or simpler ones, I think), but I tend to locate “moe” in the character designs and I don’t see much change there, except maybe the eyes tend to get a little larger.

Having less detail and eyes getting larger strike me as pretty typical changes over time in longer comedy manga.
