I'm thinking Seo might be better off sticking to romantic drama. An impromptu battle of the bands...sigh.

I can't stand authors that write about things they have no reference for. It's totally obvious that Seo doesn't know anything about music. It's like when I read the Southern Reach trilogy and Vandermmer used all this debunked Psychology bullshit as major plot points.

What are you talking about? The last time I went to a concert, a different band showed up and demanded a duel. That happens all the time.

So this is another one of those "loser MC falls in love with girl" romance/drama mangas.

The premise is basically that the MC ends up seeing a girl, Ruka, passed out and fully naked in an onsen, he then later joins Ruka college Onsen club due to her smile (which makes him fall in love with her) before realizing who she was.

MC eventually declares his love for Ruka, but she postpones answering him because she has lingering feeling for some asshole character in her past. Who of course returns right as she's about to positively reply, leading MC to misunderstand the situation and reacting to said misunderstanding by jumping in bed and starting to date another girl. Said relationship obviously doesn't work so he ultimately ends up with Ruka.

Unfortunately the series failed to build up the relationship between MC and Ruka, there's various scenes with both being together but very little dealing with them growing in terms of personal relationship, so their obsession for each other never feels justified.

There's also very little character development in general, most characters end up very close to where they were when the series started.

The drama twists were all too predictable, it followed the most basic of patterns within this genre, which made it hard for me to care or rage about any of them.

All in all, I have to say that it was a pretty mediocre experience all around.

Somethin is going to go down at this auction. I doubt Kaneki will come back this quickly though.

As said before when this series comes up the point in bold is where everything faltered for me (and that includes the return of that asshole). MC fucked up big time while trying to be progressive for the first time ever LOLOLOLOL


As for the second bold: they needed more panel time together to fix this imo but sadly it was used for "OH NOES DRAMA" instead.

This chapter begs the question of why Yoruto wasn't also forced into prostitution.

He didn't even try to hear Ruka out for whatever reason. He was basically "Mister super nice guy" for the entire series except for this very moment. The author just couldn't figure out a decent way to screw the relationship up so we ended up with that.

I also never got why Ruka was so in love with the other guy, the series basically presented their relationship as "She hated him but then they played games so they became in love".

The author wasn't particularly good at developing relationships.

You know, this is shonen as fuck, for being a "music-themed coming of age melodrama".
Boring chapter, actually. Who cares about this guy and his boring reasons to play,

I liked it. But I like seeing Arimas competitors fleshed out.

Good to see they aren't going to beat around the bush about their feelings for the next 100 chapters like so many other series. Also, foreshadowing for major series villain? Could be.

I assume it was his jealousy toward asshole vagabond that blinded him and once realizing he fucked up then he tried to wallow in his failure by convincing himself otherwise (that was fucking painful to read due to how moronic he was being, hell his butt monkey friend got annoyed by it and beat the shit out of him) lol

But yea for a dude who is willing to wait or doesn't do shit because he usually can't read it or just chills around going with the flow it was kinda funny that his one moment he completely blew it.

I guess she saw some good in him even though he was a womanizer? *shrug*

There wasn't even a reason for him either, not like some promise or whatever (iirc he even said dumb shit to get rid of her for some reason).

LOL

at least she picked up on it, now for the results of this competition and hopefully we get some more Miyata backstory (since that Ring looking girl is still around the place).

You somehow always know how to take the sanity I worked so hard to maintain away. Go ahead and recommend them, as long as it isn't anything to the point where its blatant h-material, smut/mature is completely fine with me.

I feel fortunate enough to have put Blue Exorcist in my backlog so I can enjoy it to the fullest when the arc finishes.

Or anything by Seme Danjou / Mashiraga Aki ?

Punpun is a different breed.

If you want, you can marathon it along with the likes of Himizu, Farväl Falkenberg ( movie ) and then contemplate
if you still want to live in this world.

Most of them more or less revolve around this theme. Personally, I think you'll be fine.
