If ogata's short essay were acceptable, school would have been a lot easier.
Takemoto sure got to Yuiga's house in a hurry.
I can relate though to Takemoto when it comes to studying.

Catch Love (NSFW doujin)
Mira x softball x yuri x xxx. TIL how important the relationship between pitcher and catcher is. As well as how crucial it is to have a supportive team captain.

You could argue that senpai not really doing any magic isn't hugely different from normal. Still, despite her tendency for comedic failure, I don't think the clown getup suits her.

I've had it mangasplained to me before, multiple times by multiple people, that a relationship requited leaves the manga with nothing else interesting to do. I used to argue it, but now I just point to Jitsu wa Watashi wa and go "Try harder"
It's just such a silly position to have. Like...why would someone actually getting together with their love interest in either a sci-fi romance, shonen action or literally anything else be like "Welp, there's nothing else going on in this manga and when people get together in real life literally nothing else interesting happens to them. Life is pretty much a white sheet of paper at that point"
It's infuriating.

The problem is when the love triangle/harem/whatever is the only thing the manga has to offer, so if "solved" then these series are rarely prepared to deal with anything other than shitty drama, temporary splits, that kind of predictable garbage.

Soma is at it's best when it's fucking ridiculous and doesn't try to be realistic.
Yeah that's the main issue. If a manga cannot continue or be interesting after the romance resolves itself, maybe there wasn't very much interesting in the manga to begin with?
Don't confuse that with a romance manga who's main thrust is the difficulty of resolving the issues to allow them to get together which is a different beast than just not doing it.

It seems like a lot of NTR/harem fans can't conceive of the idea that there is romantic conflict outside of love interest rivals and the initial stage of decision on who X actually loves.
Like for endings it feels like there's always timeskip and happily ever after is always the bridal gown and suit. Like the marriage of two people truly in love will be the end of all conflict.

I actually loved um...fuck...I can't remember what manga it was but it wasn't romance, and was a story about something else but there was some romance there that after the time skip it turned out the girl and guy dated for a while and broke up because it didn't work out and now they're seeing other people but still friends and like THAT NEVER HAPPENS IN MANGA. If you like a girl when you're 15 YOU'LL BE TOGETHER FOREVER WITH NO PROBLEMS EVER.
Amusingly, two manga that do it well are Onani Master Kurosawa and Molester Man.
It's like the end of Sekai Oni (SPOILERS)
(SPOILERS).
Like...why can't more manga do some shit like that? That's so much more interesting.

I don't even know what fucking happened in this chapter because of the header and ender.

where the MC builds her mother up the entire time and wants to be with her again at the end and when she finally reunites and lives with her...after the time skip she's leaving the house because her mom brought another shit boyfriend home and is kinda a bad mom

To weigh in as a person who does legitimately like love triangles and will-they-or-won't-they scenarios, I think people are making a mistake thinking "romance" is the key element here. It's honestly more about the teasing. That and the waifu wars. There is a weird appeal of putting all your chips into the "best girl" and wanting them to win. More importantly, there is tremendous fun in shit talking other people's tastes.
I don't so much want a real human relationship because that's not where the fun is for me. If I want a straight up romance, I'll find a romance because fundamentally those have different structures and stories. The real fun here is when my chapters come up where my chosen girl gets the time to shine against others to either win or lose in a battle and in the process give me dumb reaction pictures to put in a folder almost exclusive to shit talking other people who like this thing.
I haven't been into one of these in a super long while since The World God Only Knows, but I have fond memories of just shit talking people who liked Chiyo left and right and then getting really hyped when Ayumi fans showed up. Those moments were probably some of the most fun I had with TWGOK and now that a winner has been established, I can't really get that same type of 'fun' from it. Honestly when you get down to it, it's basically just being a sports fan with anime girls instead. People like sports teams less for the game and more for the chance to see their team win and to talk smack about the other one.

Oh, yeah, I've heard that before. And it makes me angry too, like blah. That's taking the idea that stories are based on conflict so...literally. Writing's more complicated than that.
I only read non-melodrama romance. I should start reading Horimiya sometime...

Waifu wars are fun when there isn't a clear winner. It's why TWGOK was so good, Chihiro won that shit from downtown.

It just doesn't make sense in a lot if series. If it's the only person in a non-harem manga it's just dumb if they don't just get together when there's nothing of actual relevance but awkward blushing getting in their way. Or when harem aspects are introduced but it's pointless because the main guy already likes a girl or the other girls are attached for no reason but to fulfill the harem purpose.
TWGOK and Jitsu Wa are different because of plot relevance and execution.
Harem manga can still be good but it mostly isn't due to awful execution based around the need to continue the harem and not because of realistic progression thanks to plot or character writing.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
He probably dumped Chihiro after the series and hooked up with a superior haremite.

I mean, I thought it was a pretty great twist that during the identifying goddesses section he got a false positive from her because she always liked him. That was a pretty good indicator of where things were going.

Plus it was the first time he actually felt bad for doing what he did too.

I think the point is that he was dating her because he felt bad for hurting her feelings, but then that feeling passed after the series ended and he married Haqua instead.

Everything after the goddess arc just dragged on and on. Time travel arc was a mistake.

That was the point. The entire TWGOK harem were dating sim archetypes other than Chihiro being just a regular girl.
No wonder he makes himself scarce nowadays.
