Yeah, I liked what I read. Time will tell if it gets better. I didn't find anything on the artist so this may be the 1st series.

I remember reading the one-shot of this a while back and thinking it was pretty cool, glad to see the author get a chance at serialization.

Talking about harems, I really like Rokudou no Onna-tachi. Starts like a normal harem about some weakling getting a super power that makes bad girls fall for him, then turns around to a badass story where the MC realizes his magical gimmick is just a crouch in the happiness of the people around him and does everything he can to make people immune to that power. Seems like a parody of the genre at some points, it's pretty good.

i really hate the art in rokudou. if it was drawn different id probably like it

It seems pretty entertaining, though it's a shame it also seems like it's going to be the sort of shounen where the main character just throws out big attacks with his burning spirit, rather than one like HxH or World Trigger where the fights involve some sort of strategy/creativity.

College Slice
I found another entry in the "schoolkids are giant blockheads who attempt to badly solve each other's problems"-genre that I'm apparently addicted to:

Komi-san wa Komyushou Desu is basically about a perfect, unapproachable girl, except the reason she's unapproachable is because she has social anxiety so bad she can't speak. An incredibly normal boy finds this out accidentally and helps with her dream of making one hundred friends. Spoiler: The potential friends are also all weirdos with complexes.

It's a 4koma style we're all devouring at the moment, the art is nice and the characters and jokes are pretty good.

Sorry, that was mean. She's still best girl though, and queen of the Three Panel Sequence.

That said, re: the chapter- Aren't these kids in Tokyo? Maybe they're just outside the city, but dang how long was that festival going on for there to be no buses or trains running shorlty after the end.

Also man, there have been at least four chapters centered/dealing with cell phones in this manga and even my podunk town five hours north of Tokyo has hella taxis available at night, there is no way this situation should have happened. Also also, how can Yuiga be poor AF and also have Ryokan money?


Complaints aside, adorable chapter, Yuiga is a Good Boy.

Yuiga is poor as gently caress and doesn't have a smartphone since he hosed up his mom's phone that one time, and Furuhashi might not have brought hers, unless there's space in that yukata for one? As for ryokan money, Furuhashi is apparently loaded, and as the "big sister" she'd be paying I think

He broke it at the end of that one chapter, but he either got one of his own or continues to borrow his mom's new one cause there was the chapter he was texting Furuhashi for help with Uruka and the one where Rizu texted him for help with her scary movie regrets. The latter lends itself to the theory that he has his own now since it'd be weird for him to be doing all this texting of girls on his mom's phone- Although her reaction to Uruka last chapter implies that she'd actually be all for it haha. As for Furuhashi, yukata are casual so they have space in the sleeves to carry things, but honestly all of this can be handwaved away by saying that some schools/parents are strict about cell phones so they just didn't have them that day. It's silly, but the comedy and cuteness is worth it.

As for the ryokan, Furuhashi is definitely loaded but Yuiga only decided to leave after they revealed they only had one room left, which means we can assume up until that point that he was willing to pay for a solo room if they had two. He doesn't seem the type to ask for help with money. Although this one too I can deal with this Furuhashi is the one who pointed out the hotel so she may have offered to pay for both of them.

Don't get it twisted who your enemies are.
Rokudou no Onna-tachi just pulled off a friendship-no-jutsu that not only makes storyline and character sense but is also incredibly satisfying. Like I'm sure that's happened in something else I probably haven't read or watched but man, I'll never cease to be amazed how this series can take such a skeevy premise and turn it on its head so well.

I'm infinitely too lazy to do it, but I do think it's good enough to deserve one and it could benefit from the exposure.

Speaking of WNL, I picked up the volumes today and there's really cute little sketches of stuff that happened just after each chapter added in. Most are just cute little moments, but this one was both funny and a little interesting.



Though they share science-related and writing-related classes, the initial three are in different homerooms. Of note is Furuhashi on the side, noticing that she's in 3-A and Rizu's in 3-F. Her thoughts are, "There's no connection... right?"

Supposedly he said that he'd reveal other artists who also have stashes of child porn if he gets a reduced sentence. I haven't seen any actual news articles report it so it's probably just some rumor.
