If nothing else, Omichi really adds on how much Koguma's grown since the beginning.

She literally only shows up to revert things to staus quo when there's potential emotional progress.

That's literraly her second appearance and that's implying it doesn't happen before. Stop whining about it kill the progress. We had progress before and get kill the chapter just after.

in a comedy-romance manga between two characters, adding a third wheel isn't contributing to the romance

But the romance isn't the main focus to begin with and Omichi don't show up during those moment.The moments with Omichi braely count as romance and Hino clearly show that she is not interested in Omichi either romantically and for bullying/teasing . She only bully/tease her because she thought it will ease Koguma's burden.

Oh is this manga finally doing something interesting again? Maybe I'll pick it back up.

I'm not into threesomes in general but I definitely do not want a threesome for this specific manga

Plus, Omichi's kinda like that guy that's cockblocking the yuri, but instead she's a girl, being used to add comedy, and cockblocks clamjams the romance

There. I fixed it for you

Quite, quite strange to see people suggesting that Chihiro is adding to the development, when it's the exact opposite. Hino and Koguma were definitively making progress, but since Chihiro showed up it's reverted to a comedy status quo. And that's basically the only purpose she ever could serve; in a comedy-romance manga between two characters, adding a third wheel isn't contributing to the romance, so it can only be contributing to the comedy, and the comedy isn't what drives the plot forward.

Just read all the chapters since she appeared again and you'll see what I mean. She literally only shows up to revert things to staus quo when there's potential emotional progress. Just because she's a new addition doesn't mean the manga is moving forward, rather, it's getting derailed.

That's not to say nobody is allowed to like her or the manga is objectively worse for her inclusion. If you like the dynamic she adds to the comedy, well, that's why she exists. But she is objectively not driving development.

Literally no ones saying Omichi adds to the development, what Omichi does is add to the comedy, which is the main body of this manga, read the dang thing again, everytime theres a small development the author immediately drops it and goes back to comedy, this is the way the manga is structured.

What yall yellin about Omichi dont understand is that if Omichi hadnt shown up, something else wouldve dragged these two back into romcom schticks, Omichi isn't the game changer here, every romantic moment before Omichi showed up ended up in a gag or slowburn anyway, but since now Omichi is here you are laser focusing on her character as the issue.

You're right, what Omichi does do is add to the comedy, so that when we INEVITABLY drop the romantic moment for a gag (because thats the way the author structured their manga), theres more reactions to bounce around, making the comedy stronger. If you wanna blame something for never developing their romance blame the author and the structure, dont complain about a character thats making the main body of the manga fresher.

Demanding development and progress in comedy series that would lose their fundamental premises if too much development happens is not just a hobby—it’s a way of life.

There has been a lot of development anyway, and they really like each other... is not like that other manga Shouraiteki ni Shinde kure where the protagonist has to fight for like 20 chapters and maybe... MAAAAAAAAAYBE get a smile or a compliment and 40 chapters later you are not sure if it's even yuri (and probably why translation groups just drop it), or Kobayashi ni maid dragon where all romance progress is set aside with the excuse of being awkward or "not good with the subject" (and some attempts even upsets Kobayashi san) so you can have literally an apocalypse starting and ending before a kiss ... or a hundred other where all the side characters can find their true love before the main characters, so in short, this is very very good when it comes to progress considering it's a comedy.

Agreed. They’ve basically been a couple since Chapter 10 or so, even if it hasn’t been mutually acknowledged.

Hopefully there’s sum development and it won’t keep with this romcom schtick

Well, you know Koguma—her friend says she wants her picture taken, and she’ll do anything to help out a friend . . .

Wait, is this a triangle forming? Unusually (for me), I don't think I want that! But triangles are the strongest shape.... Complicated feelings

Threesome

I think normally it doesn’t make sense to expect development from a gag comedy series, but so far this has felt more than that—more earnest, more skillfully done, even more subtle. I think what people are hoping for is this teased possibility that the manga goes from really fun to something truly special. I’d like to see that too.

She sure puts a lot of thought into her perviness.

That amazed me.

haha that was an unexpected and cute twist! Pretty amazing how they can still do the same gag, but there's just enough differences to make every chapter fun and unique.

Okay, the manga is still cute, but I'm more than ready for them to add something new. It's starting to get just a little repetitive here.

Wait, if both their panties are light blue, that means they're matching right?

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

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 all the jokes in the series goes away, usually.

Back to square one i see. If it wasn't write Ch.49, I could have believe it was an early chapter.

This time around, I think that if Hino-san had been a little embarrassed from being seen it would've been better, meaning that she's a bit more conscious of Koguma's than before... but oh well, maybe she really doesn't have any shame and never will even if they marry
