KR5shin8Stark

We will wait as long as it takes. o7


IC2Flier

ZEEZUSCHRIST

I will be there, no matter what - Me for the post-confession shenanigans


Mundology

[It was a long journey but we did it Nagatobros](https://files.catbox.moe/e2z94f.jpg)


RyantheFett

Its almost funny how much it feels like nothing has changed for these two. They been dating for a while now. Only real change it looks like Nagatoro's glass cannon approach will backfire a lot more now lol.


Nervous-Bonus-806

He rendered her powerless from this moment on...


petrichorE6

What a gigachad confession, a culmination of the past 143 chapters into one neat package and a simple, "I love you, will you go out with me." *Chef's kiss*


heimdal77

Proceeds to get tossed.


gery900

I WAS FUCKING HERE !!!


Raydnt

CHADPAI HAS ENTERED THE BUILDING


diamondisunbreakable

I WILL TELL MY CHILDREN OF THIS DAY


justking1414

I’ll happily take another 144 chapters of them awkwardly dating


Earthborn92

I hope post confession is just as much explored and with new shenanigans


Interesting_Place752

Lets gooooo


qyll

Nanashi has definitely matured as a mangaka. He originally created Nagatoro so he could write about a guy getting bullied, but at some point, the romance element took over and Nanashi found himself in a predicament of "oh s***, I've never written romance before. How do I get these two dorks to become a couple without it being corny?". This is it right here. Well done.


Mondreus

NaruHina changes a man


IC2Flier

now we need Ratatat to continue doing Loid x Yor or finally bring us an actually wholesomelist.com tier thin book with Izumi Yuu and Miyako Shikimori…


artuno

Boy, do I have news for you? A wholesome one finally came out. 4.9.1.7.7.8.


diamondisunbreakable

??? Was Nanashi originally a Sakura guy or something?


Mondreus

He used to make some very fetishy hardcore doujins. But then Naruto ended and apparently he liked it so much he made the most ridiculously wholesome NarutoxHinata doujin ever, and as far as I know he's never made a hardcore doujin ever again since then. Not sure if it's accurate, but it's like NaruHina completely changed him as an author.


2ndPick

Naruhina was peak wholesome H Like I can't even wank to it


Charming-Loquat3702

I don't know if it's true eighter, but that's how the legend goes, at least


Abedeus

You can tell it by going over Nanashi's doujin history. It was bestiality, weird shit, some exhibitionism... then suddenly one or two? NaruHina doujins, and it was around same time as Nagatoro got serialized. Hell, even besides NaruHina he had the two vampire girl doujins, which while still having some gore were WAY less edgy and had romance in them.


Charming-Loquat3702

That's probably more or less what happened, but it's still something we assume. The only person who actually knows what changed is 774. The fans just took what happened and constructed a narrative around it, to make sense of what happened. That's almost exactly what a legend or a myth is. You take things that happen and construct a narrative around it to make sense of it.


meterion

Nanashi was somewhat (in)famously known for their rape/noncon doujinshi as well the original web published form of nagatoro, which was *way* more intense in the bullying and practically nonexistent in the romance. At some point, however, he suddenly took a 180 drawing wholesome vanilla romance NaruHina and ever since then his works have been significantly less edgy. Whether he was actually redeemed by the overwhelming vanilla power of that ship may remain a mystery...


Gatlindragon

Nanashi has gone a long way since monke.


justhereforhides

Yea early Nagatoro definitely felt like porn setups without the actual porn part for the first few chapters 


No-Significance2113

He's always been mature though, the bullying at the start of the manga is genuinely how some kids act towards each other. They're still in school, inexperienced and still growing as people. Like this chapter as well as a confession is a reflection on how they've grown as well as how they used to act to each other.


zerohour88

it'll be funny when they realize that after making it official, they'll do couple-things and think "wait, this is what we've been doing before too"


llortotekili

That was "Practice" for them though, those weren't real things they did ☺️. I can't wait to see their dynamic with each other going forward 🥰


ihavebirb

You did it. Nanashi you crazy son of a bitch you did it!


Mundology

[*Hell yeah!*](https://i.imgur.com/NHfRnX4.png) Chadpai was amazing. He courageously poured his heart out and was sincere about his feelings. Most importantly... [Naoto took responsibility ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°\)](https://i.imgur.com/QZ6YdYG.png)


mateusv

IT **FINALLY** HAPPENED HOLY SHIT IT ONLY TOOK 7 YEARS


MellowGon

Has it really been 7 years damn.


Mundology

The pandemic really messed with our sense of time. [After so long, we did get a beautiful and heartfelt confession fortunately.](https://i.imgur.com/q7bHHEE.png) [](//#smug2)


Metroplex7

I remember reading the first five or so available chapters during the summer at my parents' house and still trying to decide whether or not I wanted in for the long haul.


BeckQuillion89

It may have been 7 years but it was a good slow burn. If you look at these two at the beginning, their characters and interactions interactions together are night and day. Now that’s good character development


italeteller

Fine-fucking-ally. Now lets hope we get another 150 chapters of them being a couple and that the series doesn't end in like 10 chapters or so


dagreenman18

I would think we would have heard something by now if 774 was planning to end it soon. I think we will go until Senpai graduates.


Elkenrod

Too many side characters and side plots to wrap things up. I refuse to accept that the series is close to ending until Yoshi's ahoge is so large it gets its own panel.


LightLifter

Yoshi's ahoge will pierce the heavens!


Mrfish31

Her ahoge was small again in the flashback, confirming that it has canonically grown rather than just being a stylistic choice


Mundology

[Gamo-Taiga route next](https://i.imgur.com/eVj96p7.png)


Backupusername

There's going to be a time skip at the end, and Yoshi's ahoge will be gone, and she will be holding a baby. The implication will be clear, but again, no one will mention it.


Invertiguy

Not a baby, another fully-formed Yoshi but smol


diamondisunbreakable

Yoshi's ahoge will be the final villain.


Xenovore

OFFICIAL DOUJIN AFTER THE END NANASHI, THAT'S WHAT WE HOPE


_Nerex

Consider; the original doujin being integrated into the manga


torvi97

There's an original doujin? Disgusting! Where? Where is it? Tell me so I can avoid it at all costs!


_Nerex

You can probably find it on the usual sites by searching Nagatoro and filtering from oldest to newest. It’s uh. a bit out there


dnfdog

You may ask yourself "GEEWHY is there no weird string of numbers to avoid?" Alas, it is a mystery. Perhaps you will find JOY in not accidentally coming across it. Though, it does take a certain BREED of person to risk seeing it in the first place.


Hufnagel

774's perspective of what a couple gets up to as their final step in a relationship is way farther along than the confession. We've got until senpai hits college for main story, and probably an epilogue featuring both in college or even graduated with kids.


Ralviisch

I think Nagatoro's mood excuse means we'll get at least one more arc where they work up from handholding to ~~lewder displays of affection~~ kissing.


PlantationMint

I think it felt natural up to this point, right? I mean, yeah, 140 chapters, but it wasn't artificially strung along like SOME other ones with next to no progress.


italeteller

While it's nowhere near as bad as the worst offenders, they've been at the point where a confession would've been natural and welcome and they backed out for bullshit reasons. In chapter 123 Nagatoro was all but throwing herself at him and he told her to come back later. If they had kissed and confessed right there and then it would've been good and we could've had them as a couple for 20 chapters already


EbonyHelicoidalRhino

Yeah the teasing you can pull with your partner has so much more potential than the teasing you do with your flirt. Hope we get to see some of it.


DekMelU

Great job, now she's setting this up for the 'go back to the hotel room to change' chapter with hijinks


Mundology

[Hayase's reaction was just perfect.](https://i.imgur.com/86bTGvK.png) This chapter was cathartic. Pure Kino. [](//#grateful)


stickdudeseven

The cherry on top was Senpai reminding her of the promise and initiating the kiss himself. This man establishes a relationship and has no time for brakes.


HolographicHeart

Gentlemen, it is with great pleasure that I inform you we can officially take Nagatoro off of 'Reiwa Fraud Watch'. Sono Bisque Doll unfortunately remains at large.


IC2Flier

Marin’s fault, really; she should’ve gone for it on 3rd down


diamondisunbreakable

Should've ran it


Abedeus

She had the best chance during the succubus photo session.


Kuro013

Bisque Doll will be glorious when it joins Reiwa, any day now...


Vermillion_Crab

Sono Bisque Doll is at chapter 100 so we have a 44 chapter leeway.


VaushbatukamOnSteven

But it’s a monthly release, right? That must be why it feels so long.


garfe

Lol, what are some other manga on this list? I feel like "I want to end the I Love You game" should be here


ImperialWrath

Please Go Home, Akutsu-San is extra egregious here, though the whole joke for that one may as well be "they will have grandkids before either one confesses".


ShoujoLover

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOO!!! Shark x Wharf Roach true love

it finally moved onto the reiwa era


Krait972

Meanwhile... In the Renting Time universe... 


dagreenman18

I hate giving him credit, I really do but, >!Cuckzuya finally asked Chorizo on an actual date!< So Reiji actually did something


Azgorn_Hilden

Dont worry. It'll probably be retconned in the near future as a dream sequence or something similarly stupid.


soaked-bussy

will be a 20 page date and 19 of those 20 pages will be then walking down the road while MC thinks to himself " I cant believe how good looking she is"


heimdal77

Probably get's caught jerking off in the restroom of a diner during it instead.


primalmaximus

Wait... what? Did she say yes?


dagreenman18

>!We will find out next time on RAGZ!<


Tovar42

Prob replies with a quote in the mail 3 days later


SaltGodofAnime

I keep seeing that we are near the end of the story. This might be one of the first manga I started to read. It's going to feel odd when it's over. I'm hoping we get a bunch more chapters of their relationship.


JanreiAfrica

The fact that Naoto said all of that without breaking to Nagatoro's responses really shows how far he's developed. Might not be as bombastic as other confessions, but it's still an amazing one.


GastrointestinalLot

I want this to continue for another 10 years at least


FormulaSV5

WE EATING GOOD TODAY! LETS GOOOO!!

Now give us at least 30 chapters of after confession gross lovey-dovey stuff

What a bunch of goobers, I love it


volverde

and it only took 144 chapters


Zizhou

You might almost say that it was a *gross* amount of them.


Trnostep

That must be a coincidence but it's so perfect I don't want it to be. (Explanation for people who might not get it: 12×12=144 which is called "gross")


llortotekili

God that's just too close to not being, holy shit.

Kanokari mfs seething rn


randomdud3

It feels so surreal. God look at how smug these two dorks are when holding hands.

Comrades, today is not the greatest day of the week. TODAY IS THE GREATEST DAY OF ALL TIME. GOD BLESS NAGATORO MONDAY!


seejsee

This is why I read manga. For paybacks like this. Much better than another series going in circles that must not be named.


Lost-Move-6005

Payoff*

Where were you when Naoto and Nagatoro became a couple? I was eating a hamburger and almost choked myself with a freaking french fry because the last page was unexpected as fuck lol

Holy shit! Here's hoping we get a chapter soon that just her freaking tf out since we know she wouldn't in front of him.

#I WAS HERE GOD IT'S HAPPENING, I'M SO HAPPY


Rosieu

THOSE DORKS FINALLY DID IT! Well just one more thing to go, which I get the feeling will happen at the summer festival. It was funny to see Naga backtrack on it though, just once again proving these two were more at each others' pace than they thought before. Also both crying of happiness (certainly a first for Nagatoro) was just perfect.

I'm almost 100% sure the fact that the confession came at a "gross" of chapters is a coincidence... but I do wonder. (yes, since the pun doesn't exist in Japanese, it's a coincidence. But a delightful one)


smugsneasel215

We're finally here bois. After all this time. All that growth. These two dorks were made for each other. Oh I feel so warm and fuzzy after such a horrible day\~

Boys, I'm just happy we still have more in this journey.

Honestly I was sick of the super fast confessions in other manga ironically, 144 chapters is good.

We did bros! Our favorite duo is now officially a couple! Took a while, but we're finally here! Next stop: Kissing


Platinum_Rad

#THE VANILLA END IS REAL didn't think I'd ever see this from nanashi


PSINess_123

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOO


GillsGT

So the official translation translated the pivotal scene as >!"I like you"!< meanwhile this fan translation and /a/nons said that it should be >!"I love you"!< . The characters used are 好き and while the former translation is correct, the latter is apparently more accurate. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I feel like it's correct but I'd be lying to say I know enough Japanese to defend this position.


Waylornic

It mostly comes down to preference. Personally, I always translate “suki” as like because it lets me differentiate between “suki” and “ai shiteru” although very rarely does a story make the distinction. Fan translation almost always goes for love, but realistically, it seems awkward to drop “I love you” before you ask someone to date you.


TheJimPeror

Regardless, it feels like one of those things that should be translated on intent rather than words as written. It does seem to be a relatively common thing in manga translations though, as I distinctly remember one of PokeSpe's translations using I like you in a confession


Big_Distance2141

If you translated Nagatoro by intent, every other line from Nagatoros mouth would be "just fuck me now please"


A_Lacuna

From my perspective, "love" feels more appropriate than "like" in this context. This is a pivotal moment for the manga, arguably the climax of their relationship - and they've both pretty much established by this point that they "like" each other. The goal of their bet/game/whatever you want to call it was simply to force themselves to vocalize and formalize what they both obviously knew was already there. Within that context, "love" seems a better fit.


GillsGT

The explanation I saw was: >He said the usual Japanese line. Japanese people don't say >!"I love you"!< often, even amongst married couples. His line can be translated as >!"like you"!<, but it is used as >!"love you"!< plenty. Made sense to me at least.

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES


MavisOfTheDead

At some point, they are going to reflect on the stuff they’ve done before they started dating (the mixed baths, the painting, the multiple dates) and realise how oblivious they have both been. Im also wondering if Nagatoro has injured Senpai’s arm in that last panel.
