a lot of people said about the author being a pussy or has no balls but in my opinion, it is a good idea. Rather than saying he was afraid of haters, I see the whole thing as quite a unique conclusion for a romcom harem manga.

After all for me, it was the first romcom manga I read to have multiple endings and I find it refreshing rather than the classic, one true girl just when the manga had spent a lot of effort building the relationships of the MC with other romance candidates (*cough* Nisekoi and Gotoubun *cough*). Every people have different tastes so isn't it natural they would prefer a different heroine than the heroine the author stated as FMC? I prefer this kind of ending tho, at least for a romcom harem.

Ah, and in my opinion, the next route will start when Nariyuki was confirming his feelings with Uruka. For me, it was when the 'timeline' started to branch apart from who is the one Nariyuki loves. In this route, he developed mutual feelings to Uruka after her confession but maybe in the alternate route he confirmed himself to have feelings for another girl?

I mean, I won't like it if the plot such as Fumino realizing her feelings are nullified during the next routes. It was my favorite scene. And yeah, I ship Nariyuki x Fumino though I have no qualms with Uruka arc too since my only problem was the lack of proper conclusion with the other girls (in Gotoubon's case it was Itsuki, that pisses me off so much). That's why I'm VERY satisfied with this multiple endings hahaha!

Fucking lmao, this is hilarious. The author is a coward, he knew he was writing an awful ending and after the backlash pulls this to try and placate everyone. Granted this will make for some actually decent endings instead of this flatly awful one, but it's still the cowards way out. This is too damn funny. I've gone from "don't care" to "harsh dislike" to "watching this dumpster fire with glee" in regards to this manga.

Whether the author did everything because he's being a coward is something you cannot casually judge like that while not knowing what on his mind.

He knew he was writing an awful ending? That's hilarious. If he knew, he won't write it, it's that simple. The reason it was awful is because of your own perspective and believed that it was a single ending manga. If you think that the author did the current ending because he already thought of making multiple endings, the feel of lacking is now makes some senses, after all the manga is still unfinished.

This is fucking amazing! So happy to see the "1/5" at the end of the chapter. Now every girl gets to experience an ending with Nariyuki.

Should've been the same in Gotoubun...

The rage of Uruka fans sustains us all. The anime got shit for doing an Uruka ending, so yes, he knew what would happen, and pulled this shit when it did.

Plenty of other fans have explained why it's awful, mainly because of how much of a backseat Uruka had until the end, and how it's cheap and inherently contradictory to put multiple "canon" endings in a manga. If you wanna jerk yourself and this manga off, go talk to the OP of this thread or other Uruka fans.

I like how it's okay for you to basically assert "that's your opinion and subjective, my opinion is fact and objective", and assume the author is so smart and had a great big plan, but I cannot assume he's a moron, even though your justifications are contrived and unrelated at best. This ending, even as a separate route, is absolutely awful and him having multiple endings, planned or not, makes no difference as to how much of a moron he is or how irritating multiple "canon" endings are.

Really though? The Uruka original ending on anime is when Uruka just confessed to Nariyuki on manga, I don't believe he just started on multiple endings after the bad reviews from the anime. The fact Uruka had confessed is already showing the direction of the route. It was also a whole different ending compared to the manga despite having the same girl, what are you talking about? There's no way for the author to know he is writing a bad story at that time when it wasn't even confirmed yet on the manga. Your arguments are invalid as I did not state any subjective opinion and your hate doesn't make any senses that's why I argue with you. I always stated "for me" or "imo" shame on you.

He makes an anime original ending with Uruka winning that gets a ton of shit specifically because Uruka, the girl who got some of the worst screen time and character development, effectively wins in an absolutely stupid way, and then does the exact same thing with the manga. That anime was sure as hell the catalyst if not the cause for this dumb shit, if the manga reactions themselves these last few weeks weren't enough / able.

Lmao, Uruka-stan being an Uruka-stan, color me surprised.
"The reason it was awful is because of your own perspective and believed that it was a single ending manga." - Opinion, you don't know what my perspective is or what I believed, etc.
" If you think that the author did the current ending because he already thought of making multiple endings, the feel of lacking is now makes some senses, after all the manga is still unfinished." - Opinion
"your hate doesn't make any senses that's why I argue with you. I always stated "for me" or "imo" shame on you."
Translation : "YouR OpINiON InVAlId BeCaUSe I DIsagREEEEEE"
You literally never said "for me" or "imo" to me. And I don't think you get to judge "what makes sense", especially when you don't know how I feel and why.

Go complain and start arguments elsewhere. How childish and narcissistic you have to be for trying to pull that "shame on you" shit on a manga thread.

At first I was pretty down because She was my least favorite character in the series but its absolutely genius through its bit weird to have routes. Now we can decide what ending is best and chose for ourselves. I never see this on any manga this is pretty brave move if you ask me. Now I can get over my frustration over Nisekoi's ending.

In fairness, Uraka's ending was nice! Not my favorite girl, but how her route ended was sweet.

Can't wait for my girls, Fumino and Sensei!!! Don't know which ending I prefer to be considered a "true" ending.

Did not expect that, it's a neat way to appeal to the other shippers so noice 👌

But the thing is, does this mean Uruka is going to get rejected 4 times on those other 4 routes? Because she's still going to confess at Graduation 🤔 Unless TsuiTsui makes it so that she backs up instead o3o

this is the ending author planned since at very least 8 mounth for technical stand point alone. the storyboard for ending have to be accepted 6 mount in advance for jump editorial to approve (source, gintama last chapter in magazine). now add to color pages/cover pages magazine planning, it would be another 3 mount at least. now my friends even pointed out that each ending arc is their backtracking from their introduction to festival arc. so it's highly possible it was planned since beginning.

another fact to consider is that doing this obviously made the mangaka work more for less, because as 22i said in twitter, you are free to pick your ending, which also mean he didn't demand fans to buy volume where the ending they dislike. but he still going for it for the love of series and for every fans.

he value his series and his fans more than any of your average mangaka. he interact with fans on twitter with heartwarming answer. that's more dedication and bravery than you.

If i understand what you write correctly, we will have 5 manga in one ? And every new story will start just after the school festival. In this way, why not, you can found a meaning in all this. But if it's just one volume for each heroine, one volume to resume 9 for the first route... Mmm... It's not very serious, to be polite. But surely fun to read.

not clearly stated, but very likely yes. the twitter mention that we still have to stay for quite a bit. each heroine will have one volume route ending.

Then he's an even worse author than I thought. If this was the plan from 6 months ago, let alone the beginning, this multi-route shtick has gone from a cop-out to an outright joke. Given 6+ months to plan an ending and this is what he comes up with? I don't really care about your lame insults or cheap buzzwords, I care about a good story.

Him being a nice guy or "heart warming" is irrelevant to how utterly awful this is, and how cheap and cowardly it is to have multiple endings to a manga, seemingly because he cannot write a conclusive and satisfying / acceptable singular ending, and only announce it (coincidence or not) after a shit ton of backlash and an awful ending, not since the beginning or well in advance. Spare me your moral grandstanding and emotional appeal.

5-toubun deserves this more than bokuben.
Uraka arc was still sensible and satisfying even if my ship sunk.
5-toubun was simply a horrible joke at the end. Maybe tsutui convinces Negi to add a doujinshi about other alternative endings.

Writing multiple endings to placate fans, bowing to the masses instead of writing the story you want (bad or not), is the cheap, lazy, cowards way out. Especially when the manga clearly wasn't set up for that, and no one ever knew. Plain and simple. It's an attempt to satisfy everyone, and or the inability to write a singular satisfying ending. Either pick a girl, write a harem ending or make a VN, or hell, write a proper spin off like Saekano.

Lmao, "face reality", I don't care about Bokuben. I was never invested in it, and I never liked it. And I really doubt he gives a shit about some rando's opinion of him. Coward is pretty fair descriptor considering the situation, "heartwarming", "dedicated" and "brave" are cliches. Hell, maybe, even if, he is those things, they're pretty pathetic deflections and entirely irrelevant. I didn't take you for the type to white knight. If anyone here is triggered, it's you.

Yes, and Amagami SS is based on a visual novel and KNIM is one of the worse, and messier manga ever written, rivaling Nisekoi in being dragged out and having clusterfuck endings. I sure as hell wouldn't use either of those an examples to emulate.

i already said that this decision infact has been planned since beginning and it was in fact will reduce the sales. 22i admit this but still go with it. but you seems too obsessed by calling him coward. also this is proper alternative ending for everyone. how is that less relevant than saekano?

i simply said it's rare to have this kind of ending in main series. he take the risk in fact, not playing save. but you still refuse to it that he doing this because facing backlash. this ending has been planned way before backlash and he has facing backlash since the start of uruka ending and he is not backing down.

I can't really argue with this. There are plenty of stories out there with uncertain endings. The VN style branching story doesn't make it "not a real story" or "not manga styled" or whatever. It's the creative freedom of the artist. If he wants everyone to be happy, or maybe if he loves every character to the bone, or perhaps he wants to flesh everything out so nobody is left wondering, "what if..." So be it.

Well it looks like tsutsui taishi learned that if you choose only one girl in a harem series you'll get a really unhappy and raging fans *sarcastic laugh* am I right Haruba Negi-sensei? *another sarcastic laugh* well I've been reading the two manga and I would always tell my self that
5-toubun no hanayome is way better than Bokuben because tsutsui taishi doesn't have any originality and most of the chapters in taishi's series are fan service while Negi's manga are being serious about who would be the perfect heroine for Futarou And I really hope that that girl is ichika but hell no he gave us a girl that has a development that's so lazily written it made his fans angry and by angry I mean a really mad. I was hoping for a different routes but no.... Negi says we're going for a heroine that is less interesting like Ichika or Nino because this series is about a realistic harem (quintuplets doesn't make any sense) and revolves around choosing who is the right and perfect match for my main character fill my pocket with cash every one..... But I'm not here to shit on the manga that is arguably would have been the best harem of the decade I'm here to say that this manga is the candidate for the best shonen romance of the decade because it went from a total rip off to a fanservice manga to a really entertaining and well written character arcs the characters are well developed in this series and the idea that having different routes of characters in this series and having different endings is just the best and now I am proud to say that this manga is better that 5-toubun no hanayome FIGHT ME

Sadly I am agree with Yautja.

It's can't be a proper ending for each heroine if it's just one volume. The 17 volume of the manga didn't support this type of multiple end, even if the majority can't accept it (the actual end), but the whole story support only one end, the first, because it's follow the story since the begining and the set up is for that, even if you miss it during your lecture, all the story since the begining support the first end. 6 month ago you say to prepare an end ?

We will have 4 volume for the end, so the manga finish in 6 month so much. So this type of harem end was think recently not 6 month ago. Why ? Because nothing in the writing support it (in the past 8 month nothing on it).

It's fan service, and if he calm the fan and give them what they want it's okay. But if you have some intellectual honesty you will see the first end is the only end for Bokuben.

The second problem is to turn each end on the firework girl, it's pretty cheap, just touch the hand of a girl this day will suppress all the interaction with all the character in the 9 volume which follow this (and the 8 volume before ) ? Morever, the firework girl, if it was well used, is a thing to support the final choice (the real one) with a destiny choice.

I undestand the "Route If" title, it's a little protection of the author honor, like the rest (who will follow) of the manga is sorta spin off.

Well, i will stop to argue about it here (my last post here, i will not disturb you're plaisur anymore for the following chapter), in the begining of this thread i already expose the problem and Yautja continue it (and i like the manga and him don't ah ah).

If everyone here enjoy, that's cool for the longevity of the manga and the bizness too. Fortunetly for him, we have in general short memory and we tend to forget what doesn't interest us. And you forgot why we have this end, the chapter 128 was here to prepare us to this. How can a girl who do this can be rejected at the end ? The author is no monster.

Interesting choice. I just hope that he'll give proper closure to the others in the next few endings and I really hope that Nariyuki will learn about the feelings of everyone.
I don't know wether this was the best choice or not, but the last few chapters were the worst for some reason. And the reason is NOT that Uruka won.

I disliked that it felt kinda like the others were just like "just throw us away and go for her" instead of actually competing.
What happened with them? Directly afterwards? How did the fathers of Senpai and Fumino react?
How did Senpai and Sensei deal with their feelings?
Why did the relationship have zero effect on the swimming career?
There are so many open questions.

I don't want another "we ignore the rest" ending.
I liked the manga not only for its heroines, but mainly for all the interactions.
The last few chapters felt as if the author was bending it into the direction of Uruka. They felt forced. At least to me.
As if his goal was Uruka, but it actually wasn't his intention, he just had to force it into the direction because it was planned as "the Uruka ending".

Also it felt like a complete change in style.
To me this chapter felt like "finally I'm done". Better than the arc, but still average. I didn't have to force myself to read through it (I didn't know about the multiple endings thing yet, so this wasn't the reason). The last few chapters were simply not entertaining to me.
The chapters where Uruka went with him to their old school were examples for entertaining Uruka chapters. Or the "english" chapters which are amongst my personal highlights!

I liked the proposal scene and the scene where everyone was on Nariyuki though :D
I just wonder how he got the size of her finger. Something like that could have been also an interesting chapter: Getting the size of the finger for the ring :D
But I guess I'm reading a bit too much into it, because I did an apprenticeship where I also made a ring like that.

Writing multiple endings to placate fans, bowing to the masses instead of writing the story you want (bad or not), is the cheap, lazy, cowards way out.

Lmao, "face reality", I don't care about Bokuben. I was never invested in it, and I never liked it. And I really doubt he gives a shit about some rando's opinion of him. Coward is pretty fair descriptor considering the situation, "heartwarming", "dedicated" and "brave" are cliches. Hell, maybe, even if, he is those things, they're pretty pathetic deflections and entirely irrelevant. I didn't take you for the type to white knight. If anyone here is triggered, it's you.

Yes, and Amagami SS is based on a visual novel and KNIM is one of the worse, and messier manga ever written, rivaling Nisekoi in being dragged out and having clusterfuck endings. I sure as hell wouldn't use either of those an examples to emulate.


i already said that this decision infact has been planned since beginning and it was in fact will reduce the sales. 22i admit this but still go with it. but you seems too obsessed by calling him coward. also this is proper alternative ending for everyone. how is that less relevant than saekano?

then why are you here? just to hating? what a sad life you has. you are the one that coward. he facing the backlash since beginning and answer fans question. that's more than you.

i simply said it's rare to have this kind of ending in main series. he take the risk in fact, not playing save. but you still refuse to it that he doing this because facing backlash. this ending has been planned way before backlash and he has facing backlash since the start of uruka ending and he is not backing down.

What you've said is entirely irrelevant to what you're quoting. Writing multiple endings to a manga that is not set up for multiple routes is an attempt to satisfy everyone. Especially when no one ever knew about it getting into the manga. The only difference being (supposedly) planned in advanced makes, is whether or not his kowtowing was preemptive or reactive, and just how bad these endings are due to how much time he had to plan. Because Saekano made proper spin-offs, whole new series, as opposed to this half-assed "one volume" shit.

I'm here using the forums for the intended purpose, discussion, positive or negative, and because I finish all series I start. Yea, it's really cowardly to express a negative opinion on MAL and the internet when everyone responds with the same kind of BS you do.
Yes, and this is him kowtowing to the backlash, preemptively or as a reaction. I'm entirely irrelevant to him and his actions, so again, if you'd stop deflecting and using a textbook "what about you" fallacy, that'd be nice.

Yes, you did, and your examples were awful because one was based on a Visual Novel and the other was an absolute dumpster fire.
No, playing safe would have either been him writing a harem ending, or a bs non-ending that most harems do. Him having a spine would have been him writing whatever singular ending he wanted to. Writing multiple endings is simply an act of fan-service, of trying please anyone, and you'll never be able to change that. This manga was clearly not set up for multiple routes, it has no indicators, not 6 months ago, not now, not since the beginning. It doesn't have the lore (Fate Timelines kinda thing), or structure (chose your own adventure style kinda writing), and he never told anyone he planned to do this until after all this backlash. Him (supposedly) planning it advanced just makes it preemptive and indicate he knew exactly what was going to happen (massive backlash) at the end of this manga, and this finale more pathetic considering how much time he had to write an actual ending, and how this manga and these endings still don't have the proper scaffolding to support themselves.

what a way to completely fuck up any potential for a genuine romantic story. that devalues every relationship of its meaning. his character is completely ruined and reduced to a self insert protagonist that doesn't have his own feelings. i am so salty. ugh. what a waste of time.
there is a reason why the visual novel format doesn't work as well in mangas, it's because we see the male character as an actual person... but nariyuki is not apparently.
this is all so pointless. i can't believe people are satisfied with something like this, i would've been happier if uruka wasn't choose in the first place. what a way to destroy all the happiness i felt in the previous chapters. it's a big joke.

I return on my word.

When i see the "Route 1/5" at the end of this chapted it's kind of horrible. I will not repeat myself but what is write just above is what i feel about it. I can ignore the rest, consol myself, because of the "Route if" new title, but, the damage is done.

That's very sad. It's like the author doesn't respect his story or his character at all. We can't talk about loving this character with this type of writting. It's more a type of prostution. I will read the begining of the next route just for see the less of respect the author have for his own story. The worst thing, i think it will some kind of fun to read, surely i will like it in some sort.

But, i will not come back again to make commentary about the following chapter of Bokuben. Bokuben is finish for me. See ya in another thread folks.

I only hope, when the volume will be editing, they will understand the huge mistake of it and write "Bokuben end, or end of bokuben" for this chapter. But, mmm, bizness is bizness, it will not happen.

Edit : Finally i was upset for nothing. The author give his story to his end, i think the rest doesn't really matter, and the talk (i had just above) about love or not love his character or his story, mmm, it's an error of my part result of my light anger when i first read the chapter (i am an human, i am stupid by nature). After a second lecture, it's nice, Bokuben is finish, i like this end, it was a nice story in global, and a nice romantic comedy, finally between only two character.

Edit 2 : I reread all since chapter 141 with all the manga to support it, it's pretty nice, it's really more a Nariyuki final arc than an Uruka arc if you reread it, it's enterely focus on Nariyuki, and he go back to the begining of the story the dead father the leitmotiv. It's like we see how Nariyuki became Nariyuki. Morever it's normal the other character don't make a move during this period, Fumino can't she know Nariyuki love Uruka, he whisper it in his sleep, and Rizu, she didn't do anything since the begining it's not a this moment she will make her big move. Morever all the character are very nice, and nice people, don't do bad thing or shit thing for their selfinterest. For Sensei, she take resolve in the last 20 chapter with the 144 at the last point. It's not so bad, if you see the whole picture.

With the last chapter, now, the author had finish his story with all the objective (the exam the love comedy), why not he gave us some bonus story to calm the crowd and have fun again with his character. But, in fact, i will have prefer a nice end developpement in the futur with what they do and all the resolution of the minor quest (Asumi Dad etc) than the 4 parallele world confession. But one point rest, it will be fun to see how he will process to do this (Bokuben Route If).

Ignoring all the people that are mad, I wonder what the turning point will be for the series. After they taken their exams? After they passed? Before Uruka confessed? Or will the confession be main point, where it's just a different girl waiting for Nariyuki on his walk home.

Well I’m glad that we’ll get to see the Mafuyu route! Love the color pages.

Chapter 141 is the last chapter before Uruka’s arc officially starts, I wonder if that’ll be the branching point for all the parallel stories?


I hope so, if the branches for the parallel stories are too far back, most of the character development will be gone. Either way, I'm excited to see how each of the endings play out.

I'll be honest: I'm happy with how Uruka's 'route' ended - albeit it did feel a bit rushed.

I do wish this chapter was extended to see more of her and Nariyuki's relationship after they became an official couple but before Nariyuki proposed to her. However, what we got in the end was satisfying enough (at least we got to SEE them kiss! ... Unlike other harem/romance manga.)

Now on to the 'multiple ending' situation: This is an interesting concept, and one I can support as long as it is executed well.

Harem Manga is a double-edged sword - you usually have the 'chosen one' ending where only a section of the fanbase will be satisfied, or the 'harem-ending' where the majority will be left unsatisfied because it feels like a cop-out.
So to see Bokuben using a 'Visual-Novel' inspired concept for its ending is different to the norm and all 5 will be an endgame in their respective 'routes' is somewhat refreshing.
Face it: the most common complaints is 'best girl' undeservedly lost and usually results in requests for an 'alternate ending' wth their preferred love interest.
With this - and to the extent that the mangaka is planning - it opens up an open-ended conclusion that has a greater chance to satisfy all parts of the fanbase.
... As long as it is executed well.

And, lets all be honest with ourselves ... Mafuyu Sensei at the very least deserves a satisfying ending.

Well (3x) can you please stop making argued all of you specially about Author Tsutui's decision to make an alternative route arc ended story...

I know what happened to Author Tsutui in the past 7 days after received negative backlash message from the other commentator like you even
from the commentator that result of downvote ranking and losing manga sales.. Then you must forgive those negative criticism against the Author so that he will making own decision..

And I know that if he use the traditional route arc ended story just like Nisekoi, QQ, and other harem anime, there will be a big major negative impact that will result for the anime series..

And he never to use one MC will married 5 harem all together just like HS DXD because it will be bored at the end of the story...

So that's why he making decision to make a alternative route arc ended story just like a anime dating sim game back in 2004 name "Love Hina" that if you want to date a girl within before 80 days then you will have a perfect couple.. But if you date another girl with a same procedure the result will same but the story will be different than the first girl..

And this will applied from Author Tsutui in this manga series.. So please enough all the non sense argument specially for the fans who rooting for Uruka and you will said tha t she will be winner and don't make angry if the author will decided the alternative route arc ended story...

I wasn't aware I was reading a visual novel/dating sim. I'm actually kinda surprised at how little backlash this type of ending is getting. Seems quite ass-pulley to me. With how poorly written and generic Uruka's arc was, I'm not expecting much better from the rest of the girls.

Officially dropped for right now.

That was an absolute master troll move lol. I love it!

A pretty interesting idea to give a VN multiple route spin to a manga out of the blue. But it's definitely better to keep some peace and do damage control.

Gotta admit my score would have plummetted hard if Uruka's ending was the only one.

I'm only 80 chapters in and upon hearing this news of multiple endings I'm sorta fine with it....its a way to make everybody happy in some ways....its something that I wish Toubun no hanayome did....in fact I think this concept fits better for that manga than this one cuz while I had a concrete favorite in Toubun I dont really have a favorite for bokuben....maybe that's why I'm just fine with this ending...than again it's been awhile since I last read this....so I'm definitely getting back to it...

I didn't plan on commenting about this anymore but people on discord spammed the shit out of me about this whole thing and asked for my opinion on it, I couldn't believe it at first so I did some more digging on twitter and reddit to get an actual source, once I found out it was true I laughed my ass out and said "22i you fcking pussy" hahahahaha.
I despise...hate what I'm about to say but... at least fucking Nisekoi's author (Komi) had the balls to end with just one girl (still a bad series but I appreciate his guts) but this man tho... it felt like he had no idea what the fuck he was doing or that he himself knows having an Uruka end would bullfuckingshit make no sense so he had this end game plan so people wouldn't be bitter and still support his shit. You Goddamn coward hahahaha!

Deep down.. I feel like the reason he didn't have the other girls confess during Uruka's parallel part is because he knows Nariyuki is a prop mc that would accept any girl that would confess to him and fall inlove with her or get conscious the moment she confesses. Just reading his confession.... it literally could be any girl in Uruka's place and it still would make sense, just change the "swimming" part to the preferred subject of that character and done.

I'm just having fun I still love 22i, but damn man you shoulda just sticked with one girl, it doesnt work with how you set up your story on only having one girl.

Anyways the thread title is misleading. Hopefully a mod fixes it. From what I got at the end of this chapter it had a "route 1/5" meaning Uruka's route is considered as canon as the other heroines, they're all parallel and you decide which ending is for you, its like a damn game lol.


lmao...i need to agree with you in something: A story with only one end is better, bcz...this way the credibility of the story tends to disapppear, even more with alternative endings than with an open ending. But, at least this story have 5 canon routes, while some manga/animes have a canon end and the others are just fan-service non canons. And a person be like: "so, we have a canon end, why do this non canon endings? It feels quite fake...(bcz in the end...it really is fake, lol)."

But i prefer this way, even more due the fact that all ends will be canon...it isnt such a consistent story when they use this strategy but, at least all will be canon...and i think this way is better having into account and i will agree with you again, the way Uruka route went (that until the previous chapter we thought it was the only and non-alternative ending)...it felt quite not mature enough the feelings from Yuiga perspective...bcz, see: this guy was only focused in studies...he never shown any romantic feelings for no one, then no Uruka either and that didnt change in 5 years of being in the same class...then like you said Yuiga felt like a prop mc, that when a girl would confess is love towards him, he would accept and " notice his true feelings ", but let's be real...that usually doesnt happen. xD

Will you folks want a personal example? Me, during high school felt in love with a classmate. I didnt told her my feelings, she started dating another guy, but i always wanted that my first love would know that i liked her, being her whatever she was, even if she didnt liked me, even if she had a boyfriend, etc., but it was something that i vowed myself to do, and i did after some years. Silly maybe, but whatever...so, she yet was girlfriend of that guy, but when the opportunity came i talked to her, but i told her it was just something that i needed to resolve with myself in saying that and not that i was demanding nothing from her. So, i said, she probably got her ego-meter filled...gave me a hug and i probably became like the most Mr. Nice Guy ever in her eyes. Some time later they broken up...did she thought about me? A guy that liked her for so long? That she came to talk with me? Maybe to get to know me better, to at least try to give me an opportunity? In this case...no! She didnt care for me. xD

So, you can see by this example that Yuiga waking his deep feelings for a girl that never laid that much attention towards her, just bcz she confesses, it can happens sure...but usually doesnt, so bcz of that, this Uruka route felt a little forced and that's why we also felt it was rushed, bcz Uruka was the girl with less development for long chapters while the others, especially Mafuyu, was always in a crescendo, but suddenly all changed with a snap of the fingers.

P.S.: I also just had a epifany! I dont think the order of routes being presented are just a coincidence, if it is, it's the biggest coincidence of all time! But did you noticed that the order of the routes are also, basically the order of the girls get aware of their feelings for Yuiga?

First Uruka, middle school classmate when even he didnt meet any other of the girls and first girl loving him. (Route 1/5).

Then Ogata, soon after she met Yuiga felt in love. (Route 2/5).

Then Fuminu, always denying for the sake of the others, but had her feelings for him. (Route 3/5).

Then Azumi, who felt in love ealier enough for him, but was a character arriving a little more later than the rest. (Route 4/5).

And last Mafuyu, that from the start her position as Yuiga's teacher was like a barrier who prevented even at the beginning the mere thought of a romantic relation. Also i dont think she felt in love that earlier for him, in fact it was quite late and more later when she decided that she would fight for a change with him, being the locker room scenario the turning point of her feelings. (Route 5/5).

I think this arc thing is a poor execution and I wished the author would have marked the Uruka arc 1/5 earlier. So it feels like a bad reaction about fan criticism. I especially don't like how the other girls gave up, cried and pushed Nariyuki to his love interest. I hope we will not see 4 times more the girls giving up, crying and supporting Nariyuki.

Looking at how mad shanimebib is getting is honest to god making my day better.

Just go to any post on this forum, he's most likely there either arguing with someone or talking to himself


That is just a fallacy ad hominem, and in the most of your posts you do the same, at least shanimebib make first the argument and after the point of view(even being fanatic), you dont debate the argument or make some similar to an antithesis to the argument of shanimebib, just posting populist coments and criticizing the men and not the argument in it self.
