Wow, I'm really frustrated. A third season? Come on, just create a movie for this arc and wrap up the story. It's such an incredible storyline, and it deserved to be the manga's grand finale. It was the most enjoyable part for me, and it would have served as a fantastic conclusion. It's just disheartening to think that this show might face the same fate as the manga, simply because it's not getting the attention it deserves. This could have been a perfect opportunity to give it the ending it deserves.

Time for this to go into average 5 score range. Sandwiched in-between The Promised Neverland S2 and Shield Hero S2.

Better than FMAB, tbh

It even has life action series.
Even rarer for life action series, is that there is demand for the English dub.

Well, peak is back at last. Joking aside, I just hope they properly animate the movie arc. This is the greatest growth Kazuya has ever experienced in the series, and he almost resembles a normal human being (shocking ik). We then get Kazuya from episode one back after the author f*cks up the character.

You literally just described every ‘arc’ (if you can even call them that) of this story. Every single thing is dragged out as long as possible. Still doesn’t change the fact that the story should have ended during the vacation arc.

Nah that other dude was right, should've ended with the conclusion of the movie. Everything after is milking the "story".

???? The other guy agreed with me that the story should have ended after the vacation arc because the story seemed to be naturally building toward that. He stopped reading during the movie arc.

It is very popular in Japan, they read it, which is quite understandable: japanese people are pretty pinched on public, their behavior don't let them freely express their emotions. That is the answer to such an abnormal popularity of this manga. We, foreigners, can never understand it.

'their behavior don't let them freely express their emotions.'

But there are no emotions being expressed in this manga. There has been literally no progression in the character's relationships for almost 100 chapters, if anything relationships have regressed. So, I very highly doubt the manga is popular for it's romance and 'expression of emotions.' I think you're WAY overthinking things and the series is only popular because Mizuhara and the other girls are cute, that's literally it.

Maybe you are right, I don't know. And don't intend to find it out.

It was actually pretty enjoyable up until the vacation arc ended, then yeah, everything started regressing. And as I said, it would have been the perfect place to end the series. Have Kazuya reveal everything to his friends and family, then finally confess his feelings for Mizuhara, would have been the perfect ending.

Vacation arc was horrendous. It was a three day vacation that lasted what... six months worth of chapters? I should've dropped it then but I have major sunk cost fallacy into it.

I've been reading (I use that word very loosely) the manga for a while now and it's been utterly dreadful, almost 100+ chapters of literally no story progression, in fact, some characters have regressed. Why this story has remained so popular, I can't possibly understand. It started off pretty decently and seemed like things were going well up until the vacation arc. After that arc, it's been rapidly declining in quality. I personally think the story should have ended during the vacation arc, seemed like the perfect place to conclude the story.

yeah i agree tbh everything was building up towards the confession and honestly it would have been a good way to end the series. I actually stop reading it after the movie arc, cuz i feel the author regressed kazuya to how he was in s1. But most likely ill watch s3 cuz i really like the movie arc and pretty much everything between this arc and the vacation arc.

yes finally peak is back, kidding aside i just hope they animate the movie arc in a good way, the most development youll ever see of kazuya in the series, he almost becomes a normal human being (shocking ik). And then the author sh*ts in the character and we get back kazuya from s1.
