Renako is still coming to terms with her sexuality here but she absolutely would have let Mai ravage her and jumped several tiers past "not sure" way before Ajisai etc if Haruna didn't walk in is my interpretation of it.

Very nice episodes. Why does Teren have to always make everything so crazy? Holy shit that whole confession was IN PUBLIC!!!! I'm watching by myself in my room but I still wanna die of embarrassment and shame. Otherwise it was pretty great especially how desperate Rena was when she thought they meant kicking her to the curb lol. Very good to see her beg them like that. Satsuki asking to join was cool too. I wonder how long it'll take Kaho to do that too. Teren is ridiculous but he's very good at making the girls bond and make it feel genuine. I'm pleased with this development.

Millions of normie cucks looked at that scene and screamed assault/rape and were on Renako's side saying that Mai needs to learn what 'no' means. Not getting that Renako would have been totally willing to go all the way in that moment, but just couldnt handle her sister seeing it and the friendship image being permanently destroyed.
The thing she says after slapping her isnt "I said no, listen the fuck up", it was "My sister saw us".

I honestly feel like it never should be a harem. The main triangle is all that really matters. The others are just wedged into the circle somehow. Haruna doesnt need to make it more complicated.
So I go for the little sister harem option. Would be hilarious if it ran in the family.

I have to give kudos to this series (and especially the anime adaptation), because it managed to combat several of my personal dislikes and somehow made it work.
I am definitely no fan of polyamory, even less so when it's harem trash. Even in yuri I could never stand it. But Watanare somehow made it work. Well for now, I think triangles are generally my limit... But what an amazing triangle this is.
It honestly only works because Mai and Sena care about each other almost as much as they love Renako. To the point where most of this movie arc they spent in each other's arms instead of their crush's. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it turned out these two also hold some level or romantic interest in each other.
Secondly... I really love Mai. Which is ridiculous because I hate the "princess perfect" trope, even if it is used just to have the "oh woe is me, I have to be perfect and please everyone" spin on it, like here. Then Mai is also the really annoying pushy type, which should make me want her to be as far away from the focus as possible. But nope, she is great. Something about her extreme honesty about her feelings as well as a more conflicted portrayal really got to me. I was actually sad that Mai was pushed into the background for most of the season after her arc was done. Her tenderness with Sena, her love rival, might have cemented it though.
Rena, you stupid, self-denying slut... I usually hate protagonists that are wet blankets and author who use "introvert" card to gain easy points with the otaku crowd. But Rena actually feels like a real person (mostly). She is a dumbass ex-shut-in but you buy that she is an introvert gamer who is actually trying and has morte complexes than there are pages in the bible. And she really, seriously is trying to change. She went from passively getting roped into situations to being proactive. And she legit faced her own lies to herself and kicked them to the curb.
Absolutely amazing finale.
>>
>>4512025
I'm pretty much of the same opinion as you. I don't like poly at all but have now a huge exception for Watanare. I'm more of an Ajisai fan but Mai really grew on me. I really love the way the two of them are so into each other even though they're jealous and love Renako more. I found myself rooting for them to be together as three, although I'm probably already rooting for Satsuki to join in too because she quite clearly has feelings for the three. It felt like she was waiting for Renako to pick one of the two or reject both so that Satsuki would be left with at least one of them but the three-way arrangement made it impossible, plus Satsuki by now has a bigger development with Renako, so it makes sense she'd wanna join in and work her way to dating the other two from there.
Admittedly, it gets quite messy. As a fan I don't know how to ship four people at all. When I try to think of them together it just either becomes a messy four-way porn, which I sincerely don't like, or them rotating and pairing up occasionally, which also doesn't sit right with me. Thus, I love Watanare and want the three and then the four to be together romantically but I'm not sure what to do with it from then. If I were to read or write fanfic I wouldn't know how, if I could draw I'd just draw generic images of them having ice cream together, not super exciting. It all just feels weird yet fun.
As for Kaho, so far I don't feel any romantic vibes of her towards the others, just a mild infatuation with Satsuki. I'd like it more if Teren decides to pair her up with her cosplay rival at some point.
>>
>>4512025
I think Mai works because she is not really a woe is me mary sue and every time she tries to act like one, it comes back to bite her in the ass. As a result she comes off as a genuinely flawed character genuinely trying her best for the people she loves.

>>4512072
For Satsuki, I assume she is either into Mai or Sena, so she is just using the "harem" set-up to get to the girl she actually likes. Probably assuming that by pretending to wantig to be part of Renako's harem she automatically gets an in with her actual crush. A very Satsuki like gambit.
This could then either go really bad or mostly bad... With the author making Satsuki legit fall in love with Renako being the most annoying outcome.
I like Satsuki, but I can't foresee any way to integrate her here that would actually be any good. The closest would be that she admits her romantic feelings for Mai and then Maid also "two-times", making it a double axis instead of just a generic harem.
>>4512098
The thing is that we simply don't know why Mai cares so much about obeying her mother and keeping up this image of perfection. The latter is sort of explained by deep seated mental fixation, but you would honestly think that part of her character development is to gain independence.
I also need to add that Mai and Renako do have strong chemistry, which is essential for this story to work. Her and Renako are basically very similar, but with extrmely opposite starting points. Both don't want to be hated and put on an act for the sake of suiting expectations. But while Renako did this out of her own desire, Mai was forced into this position. Renako only hates herself, so she can openly tell Mai to not care what others thinks, while genuinely being unable to do the same for herself. She thinks Mai is already amazing and has no reason to ever bend to other people's wishes. She also doesn't have the social grace to pretend around Mai, she just treats her for who she really is below the mask.
Meanwhile Mai will tell Renako over and over that she is worth something and deserves to be loved, even when she tries her hardest to keep up the "normal" that she can't have. Mai's patience is honestly legendary.
>>
>>
>>4512278
This has its own issue though, because I already am rooting for Mai and Sena to also start smooching... And isn't it implied that Kaho also has a crush on Mai? So that would actually make Mai the harem protagonist of this story, which is definitely not the intention.
This triangle is just too solid for more add-ons to me. But I will let the author present a case I guess.
>>
>>4512273
>For Satsuki, I assume she is either into Mai or Sena
Why would you think she likes Ajisai romantically, but not Renako? Satsuki's relationship with Ajisai when she has a much closer relationship with Renako. Satsuki always avoids answer when asked how she feels about Renako, but she has no issues stating that she likes Ajisai as a friend.
>>
>>
>>4512471
I think you have maybe not picked up on the subtext is all. When Renako asked her what she thinks of Ajisai, Satsuki called her a genuinely pure person and was acting all weirded out by the existence of a person without ulterior motives, which also seems to fascinate her. Also in the cosplay arc when she met Ajisai at the festival she not only blushed when she praised her looks, but also let her call her by her real name and obeyed her requests.
Her treatment of Ajisai is abnormally friendly and favorable, which is not normal for Satsuki at all. She literally treats all her friends like dirt.
>she doesnt answer how she feels about Renako
Except she pretty explicitely keeps stating she doesnt think much of her or doesnt like her. That's probably a lie, especially after her major arc, but that's her official stance.
>>4512474
...during the suitor party Kaho literally was trying to get with Mai.
>>
>>
>>4512477
>Except she pretty explicitely keeps stating she doesnt think much of her or doesnt like her.
Her actions say otherwise, the fact that she doesn't rule out the possibility that she may like Renako when asked says that she at least considers it.
>That's probably a lie, especially after her major arc, but that's her official stance.
If you know it's a lie, why do you act like that's how she really feels about Renako. Even in the latest volume, Satsuki was questioned if she has feelings for Mai or Renako, but Ajisai never came up.
>>
>>4512477
>>4512478
>...during the suitor party Kaho literally was trying to get with Mai.
Because Kaho confessed to her in the past. Even then, she never pursues Mai beyond that & in volume 5 admitted that she doesn't even believe she actually had feelings for her after thinking about it. Even if Kaho actually had feelings for Mai, nothing would ever happen because Mai barely acknowledges her existence compared to everyone else.
>>
>>
>>4512477
The way she acts around Ajisai is perfectly normal, everybody loves her. That doesn't mean she has feelings for her.
Satsuki talks a lot of shit, specially about Mai and Renako, but actions speak louder than words. The lengths she goes to care and support Mai and Renako are on a completely different level compared to blushing at everyone's tenshi.
>>
>>
>>4512480
You are the one who claimed she isn't clear about how she feels about Renako, when she is extremely clear about it actually and even called her scum. Satsuki is inherently incapable of being honest, so that could mean anything, but I highly doubt she is actually in love with Rena. Getting kissed by her etc. definitely threw her off her game, but ever since her arc she has acted completely neutral around Rena. The only one she will always show strong emotion towards is Mai. And the only one she ever acts favorable with is Ajisai.
>>4512481
Kaho has stated repeatedly that she did have an interest in her and is still acting it. I never said it would go anywhere, just that this crush exists. And if everyone is crushing on Mai (some more successfully than not) that would make Mai the real center of the harem, which like I said, seems unintentional.
>>4512484
>perfectly normal
It isn't for Satsuki, which is the whole point.
>>4512483
Who would believe that? lmao
>>
>>
>>
>>4512485
>>4512486
Why do you guys think I'm lying? The relationship was really off balance with Renako worshiping Ajisai instead of treating her like an equal partner and Ajisai being unable to communicate her needs to Renako, so why wouldn't they have broken up? The fans were really pissed, but I guess the lesson is that your first relationships don't always work out.
>>
>>4512486
I wouldn't call helping her ex get together with her childhood crush acting neutral. Not to mention, without Satsuki's telepathic backseating, Renako would've never gotten with Ajisai either.
>It isn't for Satsuki, which is the whole point
The point of that scene is that Ajisai is really just that good. It is pretty much just powerscaling the queentet.
>>
>>
>>4512486
Why are you acting like Satsuki hates Renako? She called her trash for wanting to date 2 girls, but then immediately asked Renako to date her as well. If she actually wanted to date Mai or Ajisai instead, she would have come to them about it instead of asking Renako to date her as well & if she liked Ajisai, she would have told her already since she has no problems communicating her feelings to Ajisai.
>>
>>
>>
>>4512495
...seriously? You didn't get the point of Satsuki tagging herself onto the triangle? That is the main reason I assume she is not after Renako. If she actually liked Renako she would NOT openly try to become her girlfriend.
This is a Satsuki scheme to get something else. She is using Renako's apparent looseness to wedge herself into the triangle. So what is the natural play here? Trying to somehow get on equal relationship terms with the other two, which would insinuate she is either trying to get to Mai or to Ajisai.
>>
>>4512497
I didn't even know there was a Watanare thread on /a/. I always assumed that yuri generals were banned on that board unless a series is currently airing. Why do you guys find it so hard to believe that they broke up anyway? This series has never been 100% wholesome & drama free.
>>
>>4512491
Nice try, but your narrative has some holes. Pretending for a second everyone here was clueless about the LN's actual events, what you describe is not how this story is written. While the Ajisai doesnt want to be put on a pedestal thing seems reasonable as a plot point, your very lacksadaisacal follow up revealed your true intention.
Even the most unlikely scenario of a break-up would be TEMPORARY at best. This is a story about self-improvement and true feelings prevailing. Saying "This just means sometimes first relationships dont work out" would imply you have absolutely no idea of what story you are reading.
>>
>>4512498
Actually, it's revealed in volume 5 that the reason why she asked Renako to be her lover is because she didn't want to lose to Mai. She tried to play it off as a joke, but I think it's pretty clear she was sad and disappointed that Renako rejected her.
>>
>>4512500
And you seem to think you're reading some happy go lucky story when this series has always been full of drama. It's not unreasonable that Renako & Ajisai realize that their love for each other is very superficial & decide they're not fit to be together. Renako still has Mai at least anyway.
>>
>>
>>
>>4512502
Again, this reads like someone who doesn't get this series would write. I kinda pity you, because even if this was to actually happen, you are not even capable of understadning the point of it.
Having drama has literally nothing to do with upending the all themes and goals of this story. That is never going to happen.
I suggest next time you try this you try to be less definitive to sell it better. Something like "Ajisai wants to break up to give Renako a wake-up call and now Renako has to win her back". You know, something that would actually happen in this series.

>>4512615
I have a hard time seeing Renako as a scumbag. She intuitively has realized that she is never going to have a normal biological family. At the same time going through your life alone with no one to help look after you will only lead to a very unpleasant end. You need a family substitute social group. And to gather that group why should you not use sex? When your friends cross to being your family substitute you should use every means at your disposal to keep that group together and happy? Shouldn't that include having sex?
Concepts about cheating are largely based on creating a safe space for raising kids. But once you have internalized you are never going to have kids, why should you continue to behave according to those rules? Renako is vibing this, running on her feelings.
But I wonder what the author is thinking about this?
>>
>>4512995
Teren said before that the other part to Watanare's intended appeal, besides yuri, is "girls trying their best".
This is Renako trying her best to do right by everyone (including herwelf).
Its not perfect, its not smooth or painless, but she does her best from the fullness of her big pinkslut heart.
>>
>>4512995
What the fuck is this braindead take? Kids do no factor into any of this. And you intentionally frame it like Renako is just having sex with her friends, instead of just doing what's natural with her LOVERS, not that this has anything to do with why she chose polyamory.
This reads as either trolling or serious mental illness on your part.

A serious question that has been gnawing at me since the end of the anime. This could be due to lack of sleep or because I sometimes fall asleep, but I swear I was awake for the entire final episode.
When the confession happened on stage, I can swear there were many people in the place, but when the confession happened it seemed that there was no one left, but I am sure that not much time passed for it to be empty, considering human nature, many would have preferred to stay and what was happening between Mai (a well-known person) and 2 crazy people who interrupted at the end.
To be honest, this made me imagine people making gestures and noises as if it were a live-recorded sitcom.
>>
>>4513925
The people are still there after the confession scene. They were just blended out for artistic effect. Also despite being up on stage, I think they didnt use their mics, so most people in the crowd couldn't reall tell what they were talking about, although I'm sure some could infer from the way they hugged and cried at the end.

It's not. Friends can fuck without having feelings for each other and asexual romance exists.
The point was that often the lines between friendship and love blur for two girls, but Ajisai was making clear she wants to fuck Renako so that there would be no doubt.

I dont give a shit about your personal opinion. It's a fact that this definition exist. Cry about it, seethe about it, that's not my problem.
Just how there cane be aromantic sex, there can be asexual romance. Don't bother denying it again. Your opinion is not relevant.

Seeing even more of her gamer girlfailure and insufferable side is exactly why the less narration we get from this autistic self-denying lesbian the better.
Honestly, the "I'm not into women" coming after she started dating two girls actually gave me an aneurysm.

Maybe she's actually masturbating to Ajisai (we already know she socialises with her without Renako's participation).
Or maybe she is masturbating to all three of them.
Or she's masturbating to satisfy some NTR fetish.

She directly addresses Renako multiple times, including during the first few seconds.
This is supposed to be the ASMR audio Kaho made her listen to in the 2nd Next Shine episode.
You didn't watch the anime, you didn't read the linked tweet, you didn't listen to the video, JC this board's IQ drops by the minute.
