I wonder what kind of "development" is it that people expect from a gag comedy manga

The kind of "development" that means the basic premise for the one joke in the series goes away, usually.

I get where you're coming from in that, once you have "development," the tension that makes it entertaining goes away. But that doesn't mean we can't have a bit more variety in the humor. Used to be cute, but it's gotten old.

a new chapter of hino-san , big sis is full gay for the imouto but she dont mind , wataten , and watamote.

Today was a good day

As soon as she said she wanted to see sky blue I knew we were talking panties lol

And I get that people get invested in the characters and want to see narrative development.

But the point of this kind of humor obviously isn't the novelty of the punch line, it's how you get there ("Ho-hum, the Roadrunner dupes Wile E. Coyote into going off the cliff again. But when are they gonna kiss?").

The question here is usually, "What is Hino, the master manipulative dom troll, up to this time?"

Desire to see blue skies > desire to see sky blue > Koguma's panties > both their panties

That's how poetry works--you start with the color of the sky and end up with each others' underwear..

That's the thing, this manga HAS had development, their dynamic right now is fundamentally different than the one they had at the beginning, but this most recent chapter feels like a step back to that old dynamic.

Thought that we were getting more progress

Meh... what about more development between Koguma and Hino than another joke about pantsu colors, author-san?

I am pretty sure I am going to die from old age before they become lovers.

Fans expecting Koguma and Hino to become lovers it's like expecting Yuzu and Mei to have sex ;-;

So here's a question for the progress junkies: how exactly do you foresee this series actually working if Koguma and Hino became an acknowledged yuri couple?

The dynamic so far, obviously, is that Hino fairly ruthlessly teases Koguma in a variety of ways. This is a time-honored courtship strategy (sometimes known as "first ruffle their feathers, then smooth them down").

How would this faux-adversarial dynamic come off between an established couple? (I can just imagine all the posts castigating Hino for being psychologically and emotionally abusive to her partner.)

Or is it a desire to move ahead to full-dress dom-sub play?

I mean, there are more avenues for progress than just becoming a couple. Personally, the type of progress I'd like to see is just having them get to know each other better. At the moment, they're like flirty acquaintances. Which is fine, of course, and I enjoy the series as is, but I think it could be even better if they added a bit of depth to the pair's relationship.

Take, for example, the hinted at ex-girlfriend of Hino-san, and whatever issues that may come along with that. It'd be really, really nice to see her talk about that with Koguma, and I'm sure the author could cover that topic without compromising the playful, teasing nature of their relationship.

You don't need to say that cold truth, it already hurt ):

Maybe not progress but at least some mental confirmation:

Koguma - (In her bed) "I want to be closer to Hino-San... Maybe being more than friends and doing "something" could be good... (Extreme blushing) WHAT AM I THINKING!"

It never gets old <3 I wish this series could last forever <3333

Fair enough, although truth be told I’d prefer more insight into Hino’s state of mind. We’ve had some, but I feel like I have a clearer sense of what Koguma wants to happen going forward than with Hino.

I have to admit, I am a bit disappointed with Koguma in this chapter, though. When Hino is unmotivated, you obviously use the motivation button.

^^ I agree there totally - we have a fairly good idea what Koguma feels and thinks- but almost nothing on Hino's thoughts.

We do know its not just teasing /bullying for fun, we've seen her get flustered and embarrassed and some stuff have a fairly big impact on her- to the point where it seems a sure thing she is attracted to Koguma- but nothing beyond that.

Missed opportunity for Koguma to said she only know bear stroke.

"Waaaaa... Koguma in a swimsuit..."
- Hino's thoughts -

She’s gonna peek :D

Next chapter is going to be gold.

Observe kogu

Take, for example, the hinted at ex-girlfriend of Hino-san, and whatever issues that may come along with that.

Wait. When did this happen? Why do I have no memory of this? ( @ ~ @ )

..... Gonna lose a foot soon due to the diabetus this gives me

"Observe" Haha

Personally, I'm tired of this relationship not developing at all. Sure, we already got some info of Hino's past, sometimes she gets flustered, but since some chapters till now we seem to get back to the beginnig: just teasing, some jokes, no background at all. I enjoy slow burns, a lot. But man, things have to be done right. If I want to read something that takes 7-8 volumes to have little development, I'll go to the het tag.

Blatant seduction, Koguma...
