We had several chapters to deal with the setup and payoff of Yano and Mai's confession,I we deserve more for Kouhei and Kaede's

I'm calling it, she's going to start a self deprecating rant about how she's dumb and obsessed and immature, and Kouhei will step up like a chad and say he likes her because of that

It's because of how long it's taken Kouhei to get to this moment. He's always backed down, second guessed, or over think things. So finally seeing him step up and get hit with a stop sign makes it hurt all the more.

Hey Faggots,
My name is Haruki, and I hate every single one of you. All of you are fat, retarded, no-lifes who spend every second of their day looking at stupid ass pictures. You are everything bad in the world. Honestly, have any of you ever gotten any pussy? I mean, I guess it's fun making fun of people because of your own insecurities, but you all take to a whole new level. This is even worse than jerking off to pictures on facebook.

Don't be a stranger. Just hit me with your best shot. I'm pretty much perfect. I was captain of the football team, and starter on my basketball team. What sports do you play, other than "jack off to naked drawn Japanese people"? I also get straight A's, and have a banging hot girlfriend (She just blew me; Shit was SO cash). You are all faggots who should just kill yourselves. Thanks for listening.

She's also been very teasey over the last dozen or so chapters, only for her to freeze up when the moment happens. Hopefully that's all it is and she doesn't go into panic mode.

This has been one of my all time favorite rom-coms, but if this is a fakeout and they go back to just being childhood friends after all of this, I'm going to be genuinely mad

>>285626662
unironically, did anyone actually expect endgame here? it feels like we're not even close to the end yet

>>285626662
This only means the series is no where close to ending.

>>285639113
I'll invoke JWWW's author's words here:
>I really couldn't see a reason why the two wouldn't get together right now, so they did
In like chapter 70 out of 200.
Meta writing sucks ass. If it makes sense in universe... Just fucking let them get together fuck off

>>285639113
>it feels like we're not even close to the end yet
Are you crazy? We're in year 3. Everyone is about to graduate and we know they're all not going to the same schools. Plus, the romance angle has gotten wider and wider, not just with Mai and Haruki becoming a thing and telling everyone, but people keep asking Aida about him and Kaede more and more

>>285639113
it's chapter 159, I don't think a manga of this kind should last longer than 200 chapters and Obiya likes to step outside of usual writing limitations so I wouldn't be surprised if we get them to be a real couple very soon, but even this setup is a bit too sudden, maybe in one or two chapters IF they don't just timeskip into next school day or something

>>285639766
feels like kaede is still too childish for romance, their friends keep asking and pushing it, but when you look at kaede herself it doesn't feel like she's ready for it at all

>>285639802
she needs to understand becoming a couple doesn't mean she should stop acting like a childhood friend, if anything she has more reason and freedom to do it
perhaps that's even going to be a plot point

>>285626662

>>285639793
>>285639674
It's last year of middle school and end of july, right? So they have some 6 months or so if they want to do something on graduation. She's still too childish, maybe that change of attitude will come as they start to approach highschool. Feels like a fitting ending, real coming-of-age like

Personally, i'd like if the manga went longer than that and showed them in highschool. Throw in some highjynx with kouhei's sister and stuff like that.
Chapter number is whatever, the story is paced well enough that it wouldn't feel like it would be dragging for too long. Plenty of romcoms have a long run

>come back next week
I'll be here daily and whine as much as I want, what about it

Guys, calm the fuck down.
They know each other for barely a year. She'll totally going to say him to wait more, that she wants to keep enjoying her "childhood" friend for some more time before going for the next step.
She wants to experience more of her childhood friend thing before becoming a couple. She didn't even went to wake him up yet.

I wonder if she realizes how sexy she is.

She needs to get jealous so her smug and childhoofriend-tism gets toned down by brute force out of pure rage and betrayal

>>285658601
Well, if they do excercise they would have good asses to complement their lacks in the front department

>>285683925
Who should be the girl to cause this jealousy?

Becoming a makeine is the ultimate childhood friend status. Kaede is being true to her convictions. No wonder they did that collab.

Wow, the thread's still up.

So here's another spoiler.

I have the script done, and will be spending the weekend cleaning and typesetting.

It will be worth the wait, so see you Tuesday around 22:00 NY.
