The premise is suspect to say the least, but Yodokawa's art style might is among my favorites and will carry any story that is at decent

It was fine, but the whole Rin part at the end feels so tacked on and pointless?

I can't be the only one who just tried to smack her/shake her awake (and then had to back press a bunch of times because all it did was make the screen go forward a bunch of times) out of pure annoyance.

Seriously, idk why, but something about these 'interactive' chapters bothers me. It kinda reminds me of a cheap gal game, maybe? Like...I'm reading because I like seeing them interact with each other and watching the relationships grow, not to perv on them.

But I know gal games are big in Japan, and given this manga's beginnings...I guess I'm probably in the minority when it comes to this manga's base.

Yeah, you're reading too much into it.

Damn, I can't believe Hino just died and the series is over. Crazy.

I really feel like all of these series fall completely flat when they start getting into the non romance stuff. All the stuff about the demon lord, going to the past, stopping whatever evil, etc is never interesting in these series. Better than the clumsy attempts at social commentary in I Favor The Villainess at least.

I think you're taking this one a bit too seriously

Surely the bar for the angst tag is a little higher than someone crying? Chapter didn't need it at all.

The title is far more entertaining than the content itself, unfortunately. That felt like a slog to read.

I have't read the series in a long time so I randomly clicked on this chapter, I couldn't remember what this series reminded me of and now I got it, this series gives me such Nana vibes.
Also that non-Black person having those braids sure is...something.

The earliest known depictions of such hairstyles are Greek but yeah, really weird for a non-black person to have them...

I thought it was just subtext but wow they really talked about dating

It's literally in the title

Featured series? Man, nobody wants to read this shit anymore.

Is it just me or does Shion secretly like Melissa?

I hope it's more that she's just generally jealous of her being in a relationship. I hate having characters that are essentially just "I like X character but have no chance so it'll just be played for laughs"

Ironically I think Homura Subaru is the only person on earth who can make boobs so uninteresting to me.

You see a bully, I see a 4D chess player.

All is well that ends well.... Except this.

Waiting for the sequel with the, uh... Other version.

This is the most underrated one-shot on this site.

Yes yes, she's fine again with basically no progress made so we can drag it out further! This shit is so played out, I have to wait a dozen chapters each time for the author to pretend like something might happen just so that, once again, nothing will happen.

As much as I enjoy this, it's always really difficult to get right in terms of when you get the payoff. Ch 10 would be a good time for the reveal but I think these things have a tendency to drag on longer than they should. I'm predicting some sort of misunderstanding where she thinks there are siblings or something.

there aren’t that many pages in one chapter any way >.>

This is true, but I think it misses the point. It's not so much that the series goes on too long, just that reasonable scenarios get exhausted. Like regardless of the chapter length, the premise only leaves so much room for misunderstanding; it's more about the number of mised opportunities at a resolution and what will become increasingly outlandish ways of avoiding that resolution.
And to be clear, I love this and it could probably go on quite a bit longer and still work, but passing on this chance at a resolution would be kind of worrying to me.

with all the various onee-samas and imoutos i had a hard enough time figuring out who was who before the author introduced a pair of identical twins...now apart from yoshioka and watanabe i dont really have any idea what's going on. still, nice to see some progress on that front!

At some point I lost interest in everyone but the MCs and I just skip all the side characters' stuff. I like the author but Arata Iri they are not.

It doesn't? Did we read the same thing?

I really like when the MC does the whole "I'm not really sure it'll work out, but I'll give you a chance" thing. Like if there's the slightest bit of attraction there, give it a shot, as long as you're clear on what you're doing and not giving the other party the impression that it's completely mutual.
