So MC is basically a kid who just invented solutions to all his problems, because he'd die if he didn't.
See, it was always this simple! All those others who died, pfft, silly people. Can't even cure cancer.
Setting could, uh, use some work. A lot of some work.

The new TWGOK is for Chihiro lovers. But the arc will finally end next week.
Someday everyone else will realize that Chihiro is the best girl!
Fate/stay night
Decent adaptation that follows the Unlimited Blade Works route (which happens to be my favorite). Art could be better... they should have gotten the same artist who did the Tsukihime manga, but otherwise it's a good read so far if you've seen the anime or played the game.

Mostly the guitar pick, what it is supposed to mean, and what you think the girls "strategy" is.

In case you don't know, it's a typical slice of life comedy for about 80 chapters before going battle series.
Quality-wise, it's up and down. The 2nd arc post-genre shift is pretty good, but the one after that lasts way too long and is marred by wasted potential. It's gotten a lot better since then though and has some very interesting ideas even if the execution isn't always perfect. You could give it a shot.

The guitar pick is a callback to the second Chihiro arc, specifically Chapter 163 when Keima suggested that they bring matching items to the festival eve for good luck. Chihiro gave him her old guitar pick for this purpose. When she clings to him in this chapter, her hand touches his breast pocket on page 12, where she feels the pick. She then distracts him by tickling him in order to retrieve the pick and confirm her suspicions: Keima kept her gift all along. This obviously rouses old feelings and makes her wonder how he truly feels about her.
It's not clear what the strategy refers to yet, I expect that's a reveal being saved for the next chapter. If I had to guess, I'd postulate that Ayumi and Chihiro put their heads together when they were alone at Miyako's house and set a reverse trap for Keima to get him to be earnest for once.
The guitar pick is that thing. Y'know, that thing that happened at that time. There's even a short panel flashback in the chapter when she holds it.
edit: dangit ignis, but my explanation is way more concrete
Huh? I thought it was just her realizing that he dumped her cruelly for a reason other than having the heart temperature of -20c. Not that she thinks he feels anything for her or anything.

Ayumi looked hot in that last panel. Someone is gonna crash that wedding.

She just got done cuddling him for over a dozen panels, that's a clear indication of where her head is right now. She's confused. When you see her look at him on Page 16 she's clearly got some unspoken questions. This is now officially a subplot that will demand resolution sooner or later.
The best types of transformations.
Oh you, we don't play filth like eroge, we follow the king of galge.
TWGOK 185 - Yup, I got nothing to add besides dat Ayumi. Yup.
I had to check out the chapter and yes, dat Yura.
Maybe I should actually catch up!

Unless something changes I believe the only options are a harem end, Ayumi, Tenri, Haqua, or Chihiro as the dark horse. They each have something going for them which would make them appropriate from a narrative perspective. Chihiro has the advantage of being the realest girl and therefore a perfect foil for Keima and a potential symbol for the conclusion of his character arc. She also fell in love with him completely naturally, to a degree unmatched by the other candidates.
But I'd still take Ayumi or even Tenri over Chihiro. Their arguments are stronger.

Nope, Elsie will be the final boss.
But Chihiro's already captured.

Wow Hongou is being cornered by Silat. Those are some painful dodges.

I see why you bring up there being a harem end, but for some reason I can't see that being a satisfying ending for TWGOK. I can't really back that up with anything though. I just feel like Chihiro has the most personality out of all the other girls, except for maybe Haqua, and therefore she's the most interesting one to watch interact with Keima. At least for me anyways.
Personally I'd choose Chihiro and Tenri over Ayumi. For pure selfish reasons with no basis in reality (Well, except for Tenri. I actually think she's going to end up being the legit final boss).
Stop trying to bring me down, man.
She can always be recaptured. After all there are new circumstances and shit.
I forgot she was even existed.
She's about as much as possibility as Keima's mom in my opinion.

Damn :lol

That's cheap / cheating! I don't even think gunbo(RIP) would have the audacity to fast forward for glimpses.
Ice cold.
Whenever I see any cruel death in any fiction I immediately think about this guy. And he was such a normal villain, too. He doesn't deserve that.

Real question, are the people rooting for Elsie into incest or what? Because that's basically what it would be in terms of character interaction.

Nope, I want to see evil Elsie.

It's a shame stuff like ST&RS is cancelled while for some reason Bakuman is still around.
EDIT: That should be a meta-plot. Saving the manga in a manga while working on a manga.

Normal? Douche bag offed his kind because he wanted to expand their space on the food chain when for centuries everyone was cool with it. I mean sure he wasn't super insane but he got his just desserts even if they are super out there.
If it makes you feel better Bakuman is looking sort of likely to end soon (I just noticed the next cancellation batch comes right at the timing of when Bakuman has enough chapters for a new volume, and there's a rumor that 3 series will end in this batch)
There's been worse! And they all died properly!

TWGOK I genuinly love this manga, after sitting through some of the later chapters I'm thinking I'll officially raise it's status in my appreciation list. If I'm not mistaken that'd make it my 2nd fav manga.
Really liking the progress and interactions, I'm getting that "need to know what happens" next fibe again. TWGOK is really good at that.
Bakuman There was something strange to this chapter, like a sickening nostalgia you find when reflecting on the comfort of earlier years and adventures and how a change you've looked foreward to is in some ways, scary and an unconfortable shift from the life you've grown to love and know.
Obviously there's no way Bakuman's gonna play the romance arc in a negative daylight, but I can't help but get a bittersweet feeling from this chapter. Don't quite understand it myself.

No no no no
Skiing isn't a sport, it's a method of torture.
Bakuman
Can someone explain to me how they could possibly make the anime of Reversi last a year? I've never heard of an anime that keeps it 1:1 when the manga's already finished. Is that even possible? //had to find something
Anyway that's Eiji done and everything done, and they didn't even resort to a complete pack of all the volumes like with FMA.
Also this chapter was clearly a setup for a montage after the proposal and wedding. It was partly montage-ic itself too.
I dunno man, seems like an ending.
