New manga I picked up based off a novel: I Sold Off My Lifespan, For 10,000 Yen A Year
A man strapped for cash finds out about a store where he can sell his lifespan. After selling it in desperation, he comes to learn the value of life.

http://vgperson.com/other/mangaviewer.php?m=3

After reading those manga chapters I looked up the novel translation, and I'm at the part where he's about meet Himeno. I'm expecting a train wreck, because 1. Himeno is obviously working as a prostitute and 2. she seemed to not be very enthusiastic about meeting with the protagonist again (with the "but no alcohol" thing probably meaning "but not as a date"), but he was too excited to take notice.

edit: Finished the novel, it was a really sweet story.

edit2: I also read another story by the same guy called "Starting Over." It was also interesting and good.

It's good, I do hope it's not gonna be as slow as most of her stuff and involve fewer misunderstandings. At least it's on a faster pace than Girl Friends so far.

Speaking of misunderstandings, time for Citruschat: Latest storyline was 2 chapters long, the biggest drama resolved without any misunderstandings, there was no overreactions or spitefulness, and our protagonists actually talked things out properly without much prompting. Or to put it another way, chapter 24 of noted soap-manga Citrus featuring legendary confusing abused rear end in a top hat Mei had our main couple show the best communication and support of any romance manga I read this week. :psyduck:

I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop.

I'm completely confused by how much I am enjoying Classi9. I don't normally like reverse harem stuff that isn't Ouran.
Yes, thank you for validation, this is how I felt - I was like maybe it's because the translation is so well done or maybe because it has such a weird premise. Or maybe it's because the author is so good at making you want each of them to be in a relationship with either her or each other like all at once. :shrug: It is also strangely clever in how they make the girl clueless to anything romantic but also manage not to characterize her as an airhead.

1:10-3:05: Harper has no recollection of this time. Aliens?
One of the covers had Wagner in an outfit that was kinda :godwinning:

I always thought that for these manga they never could have the girl appear to be falling in love with any one guy because then it would ruin the reverse harem thing.

It's true since typically they want to promote the actual game or manga.

Most shounen harem stuff still has one obvious "winner", with the other girls just getting involved in various hijinks while being in love with the protagonist (and actual "love scenes" only happen with the obvious choice). Take Love Hina as an example; there was never any doubt that Naru would be the winner. Is there no obvious winner guy in most reverse harems? I'm familiar with a number of shoujo love triangle manga (which also usually have a color-coded obvious winner), but haven't read many actual reverse harem manga.

all the ones ive read have the winner really obvious since chapter 1 and then the other guys just kinda hang around making her blush

I got the feeling it's the history club quiet older guy who wears glasses (he is the only one who recognizes her no matter her weight) but as the series goes on, I am like she shouldn't get with any of them and just live her happy otaku spinster life.

I think the premise is "teenagers are terrible at communication" and that their problems were caused more by stupidity than by malice.

Except for Fujiwara. She's the smartest of the bunch.

Fujiwara's trolling all of them for her own amusement, it's been pretty clear since the earliest chapters.
