Almost every chapter she's in leaves me wondering just who the hell the principal married. I mean, if she's this active with others involved, can you imagine what she did for her own relationship matters?

She has made it her mission in life to gently caress with teenagers and I can respect that.

Also, this chapter makes me a bit sad that we'll probably not see this animated. Even if I'm not sure how they'd do the tilted frames in animation.

Goddammit, I shouldn't have binged through all the chapters currently available! :negative:

Seriously, though, this was a great find. It's basically like a better version of Nisekoi, except here all of them are idiots and the reaction faces are less extreme.

I love the faces in the manga as much as the next person but I'd love to see all the characters get done in the serious style again for a chapter, especially if they are all taking something completely ridiculous deadly serious

He's been making strides towards protecting his harem's secrets. The fact that they're all really super goofy in the head and he's a gigantic dork doesn't change the fact that he's trying to be a better bag.

The point is that other harems at least keep their gimmicks. I don't recall the "MC always tells the truth" thing coming up past the first ~5 chapters.
I'm still enjoying the hell out of this manga, but it's really forgotten about a pretty big character trait for the MC.

It's probably actually still the case, it's just that everyone around him is too stupid to recognize when he's lying. It's a match made in heaven.

Well, it's not like he's had to explicitly lie to someone (other than Dadigami) recently. He works fine as both the straight and not so straight man. Also I'm not reading this for HIS gimmick. :v:

I never liked "Truthism" as a nickname, but I suppose it's hard to come up with a good nickname for something whose title is roughly "The Truth Is I Am...". And, yeah, I love the faces in this manga. Just can't get enough of the goofy grins, plus there're some funny bits.

"Jitsuwata" seems like the natural nickname for the japanese title.

I always translated the title as "Truth be told..." myself.

And yeah, the "can't lie" gimmick was just forced in order to somehow justify a completely boring and unremarkable protagonist.

I like "Truthism" for a nickname because it fits with my impression of Youko having a southern accent.

I'm pretty sure it was actually to justify his exaggerated reaction faces. The point was never that he's particularly honest or anything, just that he has the worst poker face ever.

Yeah. I've felt that despite the rather strong statements in the beginning that it was pretty clear that the thing about him not being able to lie wasn't a thing of principles or not knowing how, but being really, really, really goddamn bad at it because of how expressive his face is.

Just two pages after after he says that, see how Asahi reacts to being (backhandedly) praised.

Youko's mom confirmed for final boss. Also I look forward to finding out what the new character actually is, because there's no way she's going to actually be a dragon after that introduction. Probably a chuunibyou Frankenstein's monster or zombie or something.

It seems to be heavily implied that she's gonna be a time-traveler who's related to Kuromine, probably his daughter

I'm telling my mommy. That pubbie doesn't do video games right!
He was just thinking about what he'd be like as a parent. I doubt she's his daughter though, probably a more distant descendent if I had to hazard a guess. Alternately maybe Kuromine's family isn't so "perfectly normal," but I wouldn't actually like that option.

I was wondering when she was going to show up because you can see her on the cover of the 6th volume, didn't expect it to be so soon.

Yeah, you're right. I am going to blame my not picking up on that on having just woken up. I suppose the "distortion of history" means she's going to be there to make sure that the future where she exists happens by getting Kuromine to hook up with a specific person. Poor Aizawa is going to have one more obstacle :(.

The 4chan threads have been bandying about the words "alternate/possible timeline" when discussing her, so it's pretty likely.

Speaking as someone who's read the raws, this is a pretty good guess.

Pretty sure this is all revealed in the very next chapter anyway.
