This chapter feels like bait, that we finally get something of the good stuff from the beginning back.
Buuuut I assume it is just a hook to go off the rails again anyway?
It's still a fun manga, but wasn't this supposed to be focused on humiliation or rather BDSM (to a certain degree of course)? Feels like ages that was even remotely a topic.
But this seems to be a theme with a lot of these manga. Start out with a somewhat unique idea and quickly become quite generic after the 2nd girl is introduced (which usually happens way too fast). I mean, if you cut the first ~15 chapters out of this, it is a generic "movie club at school"-romance tbh
15sec to flip through the chapter since it is entirely Hakamada-based again...but I think we are finally done with that one?
Why is "MAKE IT ABSURD TO THE MAX!!!" always the go-to escape when an author fucked up the pacing? -.-
Remember kids: When the "booby lady" gives you sweets, there are probably more in her car!

Crap sorry I meant to upvote xdd
Yeah, no offense, but I'm at a point where I just skip every Shizuka-related page. It is the same, repeated stuff anyway. So basically this chapter was around eight pages long for me, nice...
same, I'm so done of him
Love how even the author herself calls it a dick move xDDDD This is just hilarious :D
Well..."we got an ending" I would say :D
It's not that I can't live with Hina "winning", probably because of how angry it makes those "over the top" Rui-fangirls who praise her for no reason at all. What makes this such a bad ending is that it was just one turn too much.
After Rui broke up with Natsuo like a self-centered bitch...sorry, getting carried away here...anyway, after she broke up with him, there were three choices: Getting back with Hina, getting back with Rui, getting together with Serizawa. Author choose to get him back with Rui, which was fine and kinda cute and everything. But then bloody stick with that decision and don't make a last second change back. It's weird and uncalled for. If you have such trouble deciding for a girl (or just were fed up with fans liking another of your characters more than "your maingirl") just write different endings for each of them.
Looking back in this, I feel like it's clear that Sasuga intended Hina to be endgame. But I feel like she wrote herself into a hole that she couldn't get out of. She gave us a hundred chapters of RuixNat that, personally, were the best for me. Then the fucking breakup--which I understood and let slide. But the issue was that instead of focusing on setting up Hina for the endgame, we got Misaki/Miyabi/Kajita/Togen/Reporter. Then she fucking brings back Rui, and the worst part is that there's an unexpected baby. I think the baby is what pisses me off the most actually-- I probably wouldn't have minded this ending and Rui bowing out. As it stands, Natsuo's children will be sibling-cousins. What a fucking mess.
Exactly. It was just too much side-tracking. You can't have a character who says for a 150 chapters "red is my favorite colour", just to switch to "blue is my favorite colour!" for the last five chapters.
I love Sasuga's art, and I have a lot of respect for her as a mangaka. I'm just so disappointed the more I look back on this. Natsuo KNEW Hina still had feelings for him before he went to NY (Shuu told him) and he consciously CHOSE Rui. There were no threats to life, babies, or anything of the sort. Then all of a sudden, in one chapter, he flips to Hina just became Kobayashi (bartender) reveals Hina's still in love with him? I cannot see this as a win for Hina fans either because it feels like he's with her out of pity. Either way, at this point, they deserve each other. All I want is for them to leave Rui out of it so she can go and find her own happiness.
Can you even imagine the last chapter (76.2) with reverse gender roles? I know girls have to take a lot of crap in manga and anime for shits and giggles, but that seems rather unique...uniquely bad.
The author really thought "haha, sexual assault go funny *brrrrr* " since a good while, huh?
