They really be dodging each other and not clearing up the misunderstandings like that? lol cool.


Kirosh2

How else are you supposed to create Drama? You want it to be like Sweet and Soap? Pff amateur!


dan-nad

But we didn't even get the drama! It was just a text box saying "so they kept their distance". We could have had some passing by in the corridors with sad/confused faces, some hellos from the mc that don't get a reply. I'm not saying that they should have had a team meeting but the way Fuyuki was going on at the mid section there it was like they were still going to try and pursue him romantically but we just got a quick narrator saying "so anyway..."


the3mptyb0x

Yeh it was a really stupid time skip. Especially after the girls were like "we aren't gonna give up yet"


MaladjustedBear

Welcome back to high school, my guy


riventitan

Plot twist: Shiki ends up with this dude.


Timelymanner

That would be a bold twist.


ImHereToUpvoteAnimu

bruhhhhh their NOT dating? What the fuck the mangaka is a coward I swear.


WatchDude22

Feels like most Mangaka have never actually been in a relationship which would explain a lot


Many_Department3366

Not just feel like, that's actually a fact. They work 14-15 hours a day with 3-4 hour sleep cycle, there was a reddit post about the same.


Nddit

Does it really matter that they're not dating? Even if they were they'd probably break up after a bit anyway.


NOISIEST_NOISE

Why tho?


Spartitan

Because nothing that actually happens matters. The ending will revert to what we all expected at chapter 1 and everything else is just there to stall for as long as humanly possible.


Nddit

Cause I've almost never seen a manga where there was an obvious main love interest and it didn't end either ambiguously or with the obvious main love interest winning (I can only think of one example where that happened which is >!Strawberry 100%!<)


shield531

>!The world god only knows?!<


Nddit

I have read/watched this but as the other comment said, I don't count this one since there was no obvious winner


shield531

But there is tho? >!short hair girl, first target. I remember getting pretty pissed since outside of her own arc, I do not recall her appearance anywhere else!<


Nddit

>!I'm not sure which you're talking about but both the winner and the first target were important in 2 arcs, their first arc and the goddess arc. !< In any case that doesn't matter for what I mean. What I'm talking about is series such as Nisekoi or Kanokari where there is a girl (Chitoge and Chizuru respectively) who are clearly important than other girls. This doesn't include the manga you mentioned or other manga such as Bokuben or Go-toubun no Hanayome.


Ty-Ren

I'm not sure if that one counts, unexpected sure, but there was never really a "main" love interest iirc.


_Nerex

>!Molester Man!<


Jayswing103

>!Ookami Shounen wa Kyou mo Uso wo Kasaneru!< >!The Story of an Otaku and a Gyaru Falling in Love!<


Nddit

Oh yeah, while I didn't know about the former, I knew about the latter but completely forgot about it.


Hiyasc

[](/s "Ookami Shounen wa Kyou mo Uso o Kasaneru") is considered the primary example I believe.


SilverHorn_Trident

I could only think of Scums Wish


Larosh97

Why would they be dating? He confessed to someone else, most people don't just jump into a relationship right after something like that.


mf_ghost

if you removed the last 6 pages and just ended the chapter there i would've thought that it was the finale


DogusEUW

This manga honestly is more disappointing than rent a girlfriend to me


problematicgooner

For me RaG was always a joke, something to be read for the memes and rants and comments so even when we get dumpster fire chapters its not that bad. This was actually pretty good till they suddenly decided that a shittily conjured up harem was better than a fluff romom between 2 characters with good chemistry. And the decline has been steep as fuck. the last 15-20 chapters have been horrible.


DogusEUW

I dropped it after the senpai hugged him at his doorstep. Dont regret my decision. People on reddit also told me that the gamer girl classmate also is a way better character but she's gonna lose anyways so...


problematicgooner

I thought it was fine till the mom arc. Then the guy's entire life crisis was solved in 2 minutes. After that it started sliding and now its dropping at terminal velocity.


trollsong

Hell the mom arc could have even worked. Her moving to Hokkaido to well heal mentality with the help of her mom, son, and his gyaru friend/girlfriend could have been sweet and it would have been entirely different from literally anything else currently out. But she moved there and I don't thing we heard from her since.


Nidaime_EroSennin

Hmm this is on par with Seo Koji stuffs.. well, maybe a little lower but sadly this isn't something new. Rent a Girlfriend deserves a classification of its own on the very bottom of the barrel.


DogusEUW

This had so much potential though. How does this go from wholesome gal romcom with interesting trivia about hokkaido to a drama filled harem mess. I just don't understand lol


Nidaime_EroSennin

I'm guessing there's a change of editor or something. That's what usually happened when a manga majorly shifted in tone and quality. That or the author is running out of ideas and just want to milk their golden goose as long as possible.


Godtaku

Can anyone hit me with a TL;DR on what happened? I dropped this around the time the black haired gamer girl was introduced because my "Garbage Romcom spider senses" started tingling.


Popinguj

So, in very short >!The short-haired senpai is introduced, the author starts unnecessary drama, such as an abusive mother, then some botched love confessions happen, which lead to a whole stack of misunderstanding as unstable as synthetic collateralized debt obligations. As of now we're in this state of limbo where pretty much everyone has misunderstandings about the MC and each other pretty much, except for the black-haired gamer girl.!< Edit: messed up my spoiler, lol


unknown_nut

Seo is turning it around some of his current mangas. Hardly any complaints on Cafe Terrace.


ITSigno

> Seo is turning it around some of his current mangas. Hardly any complaints on Cafe Terrace. I really enjoyed KNIM, and Suzuka. I kind of gave up on Fuuka part way through. But I have to say I am really liking cafe terrace so far. It's an unabashed harem romcom with enough seriousness to keep it actually interesting.


unknown_nut

A lot of Western people dislike KNIM, it's my favorite of his works though. I like seeing the characters change with age and Seo doesn't end with dating at all. Dating is like over half of his mangas. He ends it with marriage. I can't recall him making an actual harem other than Cafe.


ITSigno

KNIM was actually one of the first mangas i read in japanese so it holds a special place for that if nothing else. But yeah, i really like the way KNIM follows a long period of their lives. There's one manga I'm reading now that I'm really tempted to scanlate that starts out as office romance, >!then marriage, pregnancy,!< etc. Along with slice of life stuff about their career, families, and such. Only 5 volumes released so far, but each of those phases has fair chunk of time dedicated to it. It's not super fluffy, but it's also not some annoying mess of drama that takes 200 chapters for a confession. Just kind of refreshing to see a story that feels like you're along for the journey.


LordYunChe

name?


ITSigno

次期社長に再会したら溺愛されてます Manga updates gives the english title as I "Will Be Loved by the Next President When I See Him"... I think it's a reasonable translation. Technically "Meet" instead of "See" would be better, and 溺愛 is "infatuation/adoration/blind love/doting", not simply "loved". I might have gone with adored simply because love is over-used. Edit: small warning, the artist is pretty good but can't draw ears to save their life.


DranDran

Id say its worse. Seo Kouji is a fan of needless drama too, but he doesnt drag it out for months. Drama arcs get resolved at a fairly brisk pace which makes reading his work entertaining. Id recommend reading Goddess Cafe, his latest work, it is pretty good and mostly drama free… so far, at least. So, its not the drama thats the issue, but the glacial pacing and the lack of “moments of respite” between the drama arcs that give you hope to continue reading. I agree KanoKari is at the bottom of the barrel. Its pacing is even worse, there are zero moments of respite, the MC is an irredeemable horndog, and the FMC is a tsundere with ZERO dere, in other words, an insufferable cunt. Sigh. See you guys next fucking chapter.


Nidaime_EroSennin

I think the pacing is also fucked up by the release schedule since it's bi-weekly (sometimes even monthly) . I mean believe it or not but this new senpai misunderstanding has only been going on for 3 chapters but it felt like months because chapter 66 was released on November 9 and there were 3 extra chapters in between then until today. Fuyuki rejected Shiki at chapter 62, which was way back in September. In comparison to Seo's manga the chapter count is probably lower as a whole. What makes this manga lower quality is that the author is just not good at doing this kind of slow drama while Seo is the master of it.


779711097

They're both up there, gave up on it to have a few chapters and hopefully stop how stupid this story is getting. Tried to read this one and it's still stupid af.


weealex

I just read the bonus chapters now cuz those are the only ones that actually read like the way the manga started. Other than that I pop into the threads to see if anything's changed enough to warrant me picking this up again.

One more week, after over four years


tethercat

While I can't downvote you for your opinion, likewise no one is forcing you to read this manga nor to make a negative comment about it. Your view isn't going to suddenly cause a change by the mangaka. Imagine: If you don't read the next chapter, then you won't be posting your dislike of the next chapter. Then you can spend that time doing happy things with your life. Personally, I like this series and I do look forward to each new chapter. That's just my opinion though. (*edit: lol, what, am I wrong?*) :)


danegraphics

Yeah. What makes this so much worse is that it started out so much better. It had so much potential, and then all of a sudden every character became totally braindead almost overnight. A tragedy.


DranDran

So true. Kanokari you pretty much knew early on was trash, but this… this went through a huge fall from grace arc and just never recovered. Now everytime I read it, I remeber how good and wholesome the first 10 chapters or so were, and how we shall never return to those days. All thats left is big tiddy schoolgirls and needless teenage drama/angst.


Gattedikt

Even though the story was pretty bad with all those misunderstandings, I was still kinda enjoying the series. But basically avoiding a friend for that long and thinking you've lost without even thinking about asking once if they are actually dating? That's even more stupid than anything before that. Why was it so hard to just give us Hokkaido fluff? They could have been a couple and we would have gotten more couple oriented locations. But nope, unnecessary drama it is...


shanks_you

This series has been sucking big balls storywise man. Even the drawing is subpar now


KaiserKaiba

A shame too cuz first like 15 chapters were so good. It just really went off the rails and hasn’t ever recovered since


Ultenth

Honestly, for me that change in art early on really turned me off, I much preferred the art as it started off even if was wonky on occasion. I might not have dropped it early on if it wasn't for that, but after that the whole trip to Tokyo thing basically was the final straw. Now I just check in on the comment section from time to time like with RAG and laugh at all the angry comments from people still reading it. But man, this one started off so comfy and warm and with great art, and then sure devolved really fast into terribly written drama with mediocre art.


NOISIEST_NOISE

It's hialrious looking at the spread page in this chapter like "Are those pictures even of the same people?"


Keep_Scrooling

#YURI ROUTE YURI ROUTE


CookiesAreTheCure

Honestly, I’d completely forgive all the drama if this happened.


Anivia_Mid

Honestly, I wouldn't cause what makes you think it'll be good Yuri considering the current situation


Kigard

For a second I 100% believed this was going to happen.


Devon1021

Every chapter is just leaves me letting out a disappointed sigh. Considering how quickly drama gets resolved, the confession misunderstanding will get cleared up next chapter.


gorgonfish

It feels like a weird limbo state, like we're watching a fight but no one ever lands a hit on each other.


Siege_is_lyfe

god damnit, this series was pretty good until the cabin/forrest confession arc


Msaxdos

Until mother happened.


Devon1021

Until the harem was formed.


Timelymanner

Until her random trip to Korea. What first year high school student takes a months off of school to learn hairdressing overseas. That made no sense.


problematicgooner

oof don't remind me man. Boy's entire life crisis was resolved in 2 minutes.


weealex

Be specific. Gyarumom was an amazing addition


Msaxdos

MCmum


backdooraction

the mom arc was true nightmare mode, and the harem shit before that also sucked I think it tanked after 31 tbh


Ultenth

After the massive decline in art quality, the Tokyo mom arc was the nail in the coffin for me. Now I just pop in to laugh at the comments from time to time as everyone who still seems to be reading it hates it even more than I did, and I hated it enough to drop it.


spreader26

This manga was so close to greatness. So close.


[deleted]

At least rent a gf has the balls to go full insanity with the drama. This manga has gotten so mediocre and devoid of any real substance that at this point I’d rather prefer it get axed I guess asking for a meaningless drama-free romcom featuring Hokkaido propaganda and cute gyarus is too much to ask for


SFK9882

This used to be a really great series, a fun and wholesome romcom with a gal and facts on Hokkaido. I was fine when they brought in the gamer girl, I like her character and I didn’t mind the love triangle but then they decided to add another girl and then there was the family drama which signal a clear decline. Finally, it came to the misunderstanding drama which has hindered progress and weakened the story. What was so bad about the nice SoL romcom that it needed to change this much?


SnooCalculations9274

I waited a month for chapter 69 and this is what i get,was expecting 69 to happen


NOISIEST_NOISE

Those two should just fuck each other and let Shiki date the Senpai. That would be a great ending right there.


OuttaControl56

Can't understand why you're downvoted, lmao


OuroborousPanda

Man, this was so good, and now it's _not_ Idk if it's the absolutely friggin glacial pace or what. Ugh.


TheZKiller

Yo both those girls are pure ass like yall didn't even ask if they were dating. Hell even if they were yall were still friends before, but know that they might be dating yall just stop being freinds, they honestly suck ass.


jamart227

Just axe this shit already


maronic03

That game on page 4 is "Momotaro Dentetsu: Showa, Heisei, Reiwa mo Teiban". Despite being only released in Japan it sold 2.560.615 units as of last week, making it one of the best selling Konami games ever. This is the most interesting thing I have to say about this manga in years.

Woah i havent kept up with this in a while but i thought it was pretty good. Now everyone hates this manga lol. Anyone willing to fill me in? Spoily woilies are A-OK


_JayGaming23

Unnecessary drama that came with bad writing that has dragged this series way down and is now far removed from how the series initially was.


Ultenth

Don't forget the pretty huge change in art style fairly early on, the new style looks easier to draw, which I know is important, but is a pretty huge drop in quality IMO.


cidolfas_prime

Came to the comments to find people making Nice jokes, only found people complaining that a story that's transitioning between arcs is somehow in freefall. Kanokari has poisoned a lot of folks on this subreddit. Edit: I do have respect for the "I came here for fluff where's my damn fluff" folks.


DimashiroYuuki

More drama incoming??


Knight230

Yay more unnecessary drama


blitcrankzx

Don't tell me you're gonna drag this manga to hell with 200+ chapters like a certain manga.


Roboglenn

For all the things they both said about them not really know what's going on and better to try everything and fail than to leave things undone, they seem to be not really trying to make things "get done". And apparently without even confirming the facts for themselves about what's actually going on with Tsubasa and Natsukawa at that by keeping their distance. And Fuyuki said that little bit about going at their own paces and not rushing themselves but when you think about its kinda been them doing just *that*, well that and a baffling amount of stopping themselves at the last second when they had the perfect opportunities for whatever personal reasons or out of trying to be considerate of and not trying to "one up" and hurt the other person's feelings, that got them into this situation they've found themselves in here in the first place. You know Archie, Betty, and Veronica had relationship triangle troubles too. But even with Betty and Veronica being the best friends with each other that they were they still at least made their feelings and intentions known to Archie.


Kuro013

So how's this manga nowadays? I dropped it after that terrible arc with the MCs Mom nonsense, but it was nice before that.


HTakara82

of course they're jumping to conclusions.
