legit one of the few manga which treats the rejected women club right

Well it is time for some psychological commentary on this story. Particularly with regards to chapters 10:1 and 10:2; for fairly obvious reasons this will require a spoiler tag. The main content below is essentially an exploration of not which girl you should choose, but what I think it is pertinent to note about your choice given the information. Essentially your engagement with this story ith regards to which partner you prefer may give you insight into what you may value in intimate relationships.

If you read that (even the finale tirade) I hope you find it insightful. If you find it to not apply to yourself at all, of course first call me a nutjob, but then if you could explain your choice this too would be hugely intresting. The romance in this story had a fantastic oppurtunity to be an intresting exploration of romance and I think it still can be because of how the outcome is decisvely determined in the aforementioned chapters. However I should again emphasise that this story is written with one direction in mind and the author reinforces the strength of his prefered outcome with reasons ranging from excellent and fundamentally in line with a characters attitudes and views to contemptuously base relying on things which we as readers can do nothing with but accept are true (sexual characteristic preference being the worst offender). Given the authors willingness to do this, I would thus say that it is impotant to note that what I have written above only tells you anything about yourself if you thought about this manga as a thought and choice based contest of characters for BP status, something that certainly isn't vital to a reading of the story.

 

And yes, I did forget what the protagonist is called; but why should I bother remebering a name when the author forgot to write him a personality and still got published...

Why is that the girl's that are my favorite in these stories never win out. Sorry Ruri, maybe in another story.


Probably because the trait that attracts you is their non-protagonist disposition.

Don't know if I'm reading this in a bad mood or what but the characters are really annoying for some reason

Whoa that sudden implication of sex at the end

But wow, no epilogue?? Not that I mind much bc this was pretty solid but it would be nice to see them all again =u=

I like this manga, but the otaku theme is almost irrelevant to the story.

 

At first, Fuwa is like one of those die hard galgame fans. But then he transformed into your average cool guy right in the next chapter. His otaku traits (along with his otaku friends) are almost non existent for the rest of the story after that.

 

Fuwa doesn't talk about otaku stuff constantly, but it does come up regularly throughout the series - and I'd kind of laugh to call him a "cool guy" afterward given how socially stunted he is through the whole thing. I think the point was supposed to be that it was something he had a casual interest in, back in middle school, but when he felt backstabbed by the girl he liked it became something to retreat into because fiction is far safer than life. Meanwhile, as the final chapter showed, Fuwari ended up chasing him down the same rabbit hole out of a desperate need for any kind of connection to the boy she liked.

 

But the fact is that this is a romance with otaku stuff as context and setting - it's not the point of the plot, but it is a source of plot points. Like a high school romance isn't really about going to classes and taking tests, but those can still be used to inform the plot. It's a starting point to inform us where the characters are coming from, not something the series was set to examine.

Also, best girl never wins. WHY??!

You mean the lesbo?
I liked her too, but the mangaka didn't give her a chance to shine.
Too bad.

That was a very cute read. I really loved this manga. I'm super happy about the ending as it felt the most natural and made the most sense. This will definitely be remembered as an amazing read for me. Tachibana Roku did a damn good job with this.

Just started reading this... oppai vs loli... that's new. But fuckin a, no epilogue?!

Ok, it's clear that, as soon as the Machida arc started, the series was killed.  But I rather enjoyed it.  It's rare that a designated heroine is my favourite, but it happened here (even though Ruri-san was quite likeable, too)

 

All in all, a great read.  If only InoSaru had characters as likeable as these...

I really liked this manga! A shame it was only 15 chapters... and such an abrupt ending at that. Oh well.

It was an awesome BEWBS!!!, i mean READ!! *cough , i clap, i would want one of those..., big boobed kawaii girl that like to do cosplay, and game and anime, that like you.. and so nggghhhhh , i want a hentai doujinshi of this :3

 

 

did they do "it"?

Hmm... a relatively decent manga.
Admittedly I liked Ruri a bit more, but I also like Fuwari; she is quite a good character for her archetype which is largely filled with generic characters. It'd be awesome if there were a manga with a character like Ruri as the main heroine, a pettanko character who isn't just an annoying tsundere. If anyone knows anything like this, that'd be excellent.

Okay and all, but I think that lesbo chick was just utterly unnecessary to the story.

Also, I actually liked Ruri better.

So the megane girls that like Fuwa from middle school not making any attempt?

 

that just sad....that make such a good side plot

Great story,and i love howthe story goes XD ...
i reallly hope it didn't end *sigh*

Man, Ruri...

 

Spoiler

what the hell is this last line 'LETS LOVE' hahahahaha :P

Hmmm after watching the final chapter I have one question: Where do I find a t-shirt that says "tits will save the world"?

lol and it ended. but I guess overall it was a decent ending.
