But Uruka should win. She makes the most sense and Nariyuki has no real reason to turn her down.

You forget one of the more popular romcom protagonist excuses - "She deserves someone better than me."

This is probably it and it's gonna break my heart. I'm a Furuhashi supporter to the end but I don't want to see Uruka get hurt.

hosed up to hear about the anime time skip though. I get it if a third season wasn't likely but it still sucks to skip content and potentially get an anime only ending. I thought we'd moved past those.

Ugh, I hate stuff like that since it implies that long distance relationships can't work even within the context of wish-fulfilment which is BS.

And that is why I'm ok with the anime ending with Uruka winning. Let the nice, genki, tomboyish, childhood friend win for God's sake.

I hate reasoning like this because it would take away any agency from Yuiga. Like does he not have a say in this? She's only going abroad for a short while. They can both wait.

I mean long distance relationships aren't easy so it's not particularly unrealistic. I think they'd still be about the same time zone though because she's going to Australia I think, which would make things a little easier.

If it's WAAAY far then yeah. But given that both Hawaii and Australia are fairly popular summer vacation spots in Japan it's a harder sell since there's not much stopping them from seeing each other on holidays. To add to Mulderman's comment, it also adds a layer of guilt in that even if he picks another girl, he now knows it's at the emotional expense of someone else and that REALLY loving sucks to know.

I disagree with it because Ogata has shown zero romantic interest in Sekijo and Sekijo is kind of inappropriately obsessed with Ogata (it's obviously just a comedy thing and we're not supposed to think Sekijo is actually a crazy stalker, but it being "just a comedy thing" is also why it doesn't work well as an actual potential romance).

It's the sort of thing that could be good if the comic actually took it seriously, but it doesn't so it doesn't really work well. Instead her role seems to just be "a comedy relief friend for Ogata which is good because Ogata is bad socially and it's good for her to have other friends."

Sekijou is essentially the protagonist of her own romance series.

https://mangadex.org/title/20973/kemono-jihen read all of this last night n really liked it. anything else like this that's shounen actioney but kind of pays very little attention to its fights? what i mean by this i guess is it has the same character development vibe as shounen fight stuff i've read but the fights are very brief and most char development is delivered outside of them.

They're great, if care is taken to set things up for them. Better to have something conclusively end than have fans wish for a second season that never comes.

I like the girl in Soukyuu no Ariadne. The setting also seems kinda interesting (I've only read a couple chapters so far).

That's a small-rear end image.

But I remember seeing a chart of a similar type posted on Reddit, where every manga except One Piece gained a ton of views on MangaPlus after MS and JB went down.
