True. Tarage and crew are still working through the scanlations and I think they have either 10 or 20 chapters left to go.

:(
It's all about the journey, Agronox.

A good story ending is always bittersweet.

Don't want to see them go, but something getting milked until it stops being fun and interesting is the worst possible fate something can get.
It's better to end on a high note.
Youko can't sing for poo poo, you jerk! :mad:

If you want a special treat, read this chapter, then check out the second-to-last page of the first chapter.

Masuda with his loving callbacks I swear to god.
Like that one scene with Ed at the end of the first chapter and at the end of the second-to-last chapter... except cuter (I don't know if dumber; Ed is pretty dumb). :allears:

Oh my god, neither love confessions getting turned down nor nut-shots should make me laugh this hard, but here I am, coughing, wheezing and gasping for air because the laughter won't come out anymore. How does this mangaka do it? And that revelation at the end! I'm still seeing blurry. I haven't cry-laughed so hard with a comic in so long.

Dagnabbit, even if it was the perfect combination of dumb, cute, funny and all that jazz, I wasn't expecting to get this... emotional.

Looks... looks like it's starting to rain.

Thanks for making this happen, Tarage! I feel a bit dumb admitting this, but every time you posted here, all I could think when I saw your username was "Karaage"

Make sure to let everyone whose name appears on this page that we appreciate it! e-Brofists for all of them! :)

And of course, Masuda had to make a callback. Dumb and cute, to the very end! :kimchi:

These are some of my favorite panels/pages (Top are my least favorite, with the bottom being my absolute favorite panel from this manga)






Sorry if I go on for too long, but I really like this manga. Here's a little story as to why:

Before this manga came into my life, the only thing I had recently read that was in sorta the same genre that I really liked was Bonnouji. Afterwards, the only manga remotely rom-com that I kept coming back to read every once in a blue moon (meaning once every month, every two months) was Nisekoi. The only reason I did that was because Nisekoi was pure junk-food manga. I mean, Komi has some of the best blushing/dumb reaction faces but, aside from that ( Shuu/Ruri happening and maaaaaybe Marika), I deeply disliked almost everything about it. It was stockholm syndrome at its worst. Like, almost as bad as Bleach fans. Like a friend who kept watching How I Met Your Mother all the way to the end despite the fact that after season 5, we were both completely unenthusiastic about the show. Nisekoi's almost-year-long "elimination arc" (a.k.a. when they started weeding out the harem) was so infuriatingly long and the last few chapters were just... ugh. I kinda came to interpret why Ruri had the same bored expression: She had been trapped in this existential limbo for far longer than I had, having to deal with Raku and Onodera's wishy-washy bullshit.

Nisekoi often reminded me (for good and ill, but mostly ill) of Love Hina, which is one of the few manga that I can say I own, despite the fact that it hasn't aged all that well with me; except that at least in Love Hina, Keitaro and Naru actually start going out as a couple like at least two full volumes before the finale and, as a couple, they dealt with a few problems as a result. Not very deeply, mind you, but points for trying. Then I discovered this manga.

The truth is, about 3.5 years ago (thanks to this thread, actually!) I felt like it was ok to admit that I liked dumb rom-com manga aside from Bonnouji again. I liked most of the jokes, all the characters were charming as hell, but then I felt like it was about to go in the same direction as other manga/anime when we got to the Maid Cafe chapter. Don't misunderstand me, it is one of the funniest chapters in this manga. Hell: It's one of the funniest chapters of anything from this decade, maybe. Asahi's expression in this page is straight out of a horror manga, but applied to a chapter as funny as the one it is a part of makes it pure comedy gold. I almost asphyxiated out of the lack of air from laughing so much. But at the same time, I thought that it was going to be the same ol' story as in most rom-com / harem manga.

And then, a couple of months later, this happened.


Goddammit, my feelings actually hurt from seeing Youko feeling horrible about herself.

But then THIS loving HAPPENED:



These two adorable morons started going out! It had barely been a year (also almost a year of in-universe time) since I started reading this, but these two doofuses started going out! And it wasn't like there was some "Tee-hee! Back to the status quo!" bullshit or something. These morons actually started doing couple-stuff! And the comic didn't suffer! It actually became funnier! And sad! And serious! How the gently caress had this gone unnoticed for as long as it did? Then came the anime announcement. I mean sure, the anime was less than stellar compared to the manga. But oh my god the manga. It kept going, becoming funnier and better. And the chapters where dumb dudes/ladies cried, I too cried.

I mean: Sakurada confessed! AND HE WAS RECIPROCATED! Shima kept on being confirmed as being undisputedly the worst! And Shiho! The pervy gag character got development! Oh, and OKA! Little Quiet but snarky Oka got development! And Dumb Vampire Dad got a backstory! And I cried! This goddamn manga got me to care enough about a dumb but loving fictional dad! And the ending arc! That love/marriage confession would've made Domon Kasshu proud! And do you see where I'm going with this?

Once I get my replacement credit card (my previous one got cloned, unfortunately), I vow to start buying the manga. Because now, I feel and think that there IS a Rom-Com manga that I can have in my shelf on display instead of being archived in boxes.

I love these dummies and I'm gonna miss them.

If no one is working on One, I could give it a try later today, since it's my "Friday" of sorts. Not right now, though.
