Wait so does the anime stop at an earlier point than the manga? Also, I'm wondering, when she does end up making more friends, is the series still somewhat about her struggling with mental health issues (among other things)? Because I like character development but I do see how a show about a well-adjusted high school girl and whatever drama she has with her friends could be a bit boring

>Wait so does the anime stop at an earlier point than the manga?
the anime stops when the first year of highschool ends, we are currently at the middle of the third year on the manga
>Also, I'm wondering, when she does end up making more friends
second year on the school trip (the best part of the manga after the disneyland trip)
>is the series still somewhat about her struggling with mental health issues (among other things)?
i mean, she still can't talk to boys and is still a fucking asshole pervert but its not like it matters anymore because of the harem she has now

It's fine, but you should of course read the manga because naturally it doesn't have everything and there are some curious changes.

It's 5 close friends, a kouhai, a senpai, and like three or so pals who are friends of friends, but not that close.

At least I think that's the count: Yuu, Yuri, Nemo, Yoshida, Asuka
Shizuku, Imae
Akane, Rena, Anna

>current watamote
>problem
Vocal minorities mean nothing in the face of rising sales, acclaim, and discussion.

The anime leaves out a couple chapters and rearranges everything, but it's pretty faithful. I found the manga starts to (very) gradually change almost right after the part covered by the anime. The big paradigm shift isn't until the field trip (around ch. 70) though.

The anime ends before Tomoko gets most of her character development and also I find the anime design painfully generic compared to her cute droopy look in the manga.

But the voice they gave her is perfect and I did like a lot of the adaptation choices

Anymore seasons?

don't bother with the manga it goes to shit

No bht there's an OVA.

There's also Mako in the friend of a friend camp. And I don't know how exactly Ucchi should be categorized but she's not a stranger at this point.

anime > manga

You don't think she is like, mind controlling us to see her as attractive, do you?

well yeah i did actually, because i could relate to it. I wanted it to be a real life simulation of all the emotions and phases a isolated young person goes through until she becomes a neet and kills herself. I can't relate to this stupid direction the series has took but its to be expected and shows the author knows nothing.

Holy projection.It was pretty obvious that she was gonnna make friends at some point,I don't know what you were expecting.

>until she becomes a neet and kills herself.
They said early on that they weren't even going to depict bullying because that would be too much for what they were going for, and you seriously thought they would have some depressing ending like that?

she's so pathetically normal now. Lots of us fell in love with the character because we could relate to her and now she's just seen as this some what qwirky comical character with a huge bunch of friends.BORING. and not to mention expected. we were totally and utterly mislead.

i didn't know that. I did, i wanted it a lot to be a harsh but necessary lesson to all young people.

You weren't "mislead".You just can't relate to her anymore because she has friend and is working on not becoming a NEET in the future,whereas you amounted to nothing.

why does she still even have eyebags and long black messy hair. It doesn't make sense, its became like absolutely everything else and lost its identity. Welcome to the n.h.k was a lot better than this but even that had its flaws.The people who like the new direction we're never true fans to begin with and probably craved normalacy so you could better relate to her, thanks for taking our character.

Even not knowing that the tone was pretty clear, it was a comedy about an awkward teenage girl, there was obviously not going to be a depressing suicide ending.

>tomoko got friends and became a normal person
>you're still a friendless loser
why does it hurt?

She still has those bags,because her eating and sleeping habits aren't exactly healthy.As I said,she's improving,but she's not perfect.She didn't "lose" her indentity,because she never wanted to stay a mojo in the first place.

>why does she still even have eyebags and long black messy hair
Because she's still an unfashionable, nerdy sperg? Honestly just because she's got friends now doesn't mean she's going to look like Yuu or Asuka, she's the same Tomoko as always except that she can actually talk with and hang out with people. My problem with the current direction is that I want at least an occasional chapter where she shows that she's still cringy and perverted by playing otome games or forcing herself on Yuu but obviously that's not something Nico is focused on nowadays.

>The people who like the new direction we're never true fans to begin with
Fuck off with that, if anyone wasn't a "true fan" it was you projecting a bunch of shit onto this series that wasn't there, it was never meant to be Welcome to the NHK: schoolgirl edition.

>he people who like the new direction we're never true fans to begin with and probably craved normalacy so you could better relate to her, thanks for taking our character.
This. Nico betrayed us and sold out to the normalfags. I ask why? Even if the sales were low, there had to be other options than turning Watamote into a mockery of the original premise. If nothing else, then ending it and starting a normalfag targeted story would have been a morally superior move. This is just so sad.

Attached: normalfaggotry.png (654x371, 128K)

her behaviour was so real though, the way she acted how it seems so weird to outsiders but to herself and the readers it makes perfect sense. It was part of her charm coming up with these strange schemes to be liked and these comical things she imagined would get her liked but completely back fired. I think it would've been a brave and bold move to change to a darker direction as the series went on.

Because it's meant to.Nico and the normalfags in this thread are laughing at us as we speak.

The only way for Watamote to regain it's integrity now is to make best girl Yuri the protagonist since Tomoko is now just a somewhat socially awkward normalfag.

I'm so sorry to say this, but you are completely right. It hurts.

People point to the school trip as the turning point but even before then you could see that Tomoko was gradually getting better, if you feel betrayed you apparently weren't paying attention. When Imae hugged her were you really thinking "this series is clearly building up to a dark ending where she kills herself"

Sometimes I think about what that would really mean, but in the end this is what I am. Re-writing myself to have normalfag thoughts would mean the eradication of my current self. So no, definitely not. I only meant it as a caricature to the story's current message. "Just be yourself and things will work out naturally IF you were a normalfag to begin with."

Be less like your caricatured idea of Tomoko and be more like Yuu; get friends and have normal social skills/interests while having niche nerd tastes and friends at the same time. That's how I am and I get to enjoy the best of both worlds.

>"character development doesn't exist, she should've stayed as a depressed neet"
just because you have a pathetic life, doesn't mean other people do

Tomoko is aggressively autistic which i relate more personally in those early chapters maybe your more normalfag than you think

What's Mokocchi's vulva like?

When did "n.e.e.t." suddenly come to mean "unpopular person"?

Tomoko is obviously not a n.e.e.t. and never was since he attends school. A n.e.e.t. is someone that is neither employed nor following an education.

At the same time autism and asperguer became a meme.
You must be new or were sleeping for the last 10 years.
Please go back to sleep and fuck off.

It's a spectrum. Tomoko is more socially anxious than introverted and wanted to be popular and Yuri is the other way around.

Don't listen to this dumbass, the manga is great.

Fuck yurishit ruined tomoko for me

just because she's named Tomoko and has eyebags and messy black hair doesn't mean her whole shell has become hollow and empty in order to follow bottom of the barrel trends.

Lets just ignore her being like that sence the beginning right? You know when she had feelings for her freind, and then attraction towards classmate's, and her slowly accepting these feelings, all before chapter 70. Yup came out of no where. Nobody complained about these before, so can you new fucks go away? Sorry your fictional waifu is bi, not like shed like in in real life anyway.

Asuka is not an issue, stop pretending.

>Otaku pandering bad

Fuck summer Yea Forums

Are you retarded?

That whole chapter was one big middle finger to incestfags. Tomoko wanting to fuck her brother never showed up again, and it was glorious. Now Nico panders to yurishitters for easy sales.

The manga is fun. I don't think it's anything spectacular, but I'm always happy to read the new chapters whenever they're released.

So you are litrerally this retarded.

Why do you compare this small obvious joke to the current arc. Yea it has a bit of yuri.Yuri tones have always been there. Tomoko wanting her brothers dick was never a tone of the show. They are completely different things. Its not the author tossing ships out to burn fans, that was never the point of that scene, it's a small joke, that's why it isnt brought up. You're just stupid and want to act like it is some big thing. Watamote, is still watamote, no the author isnt banking on yuri, cause guess what dipshit, that's already been in the story since the start, just now they're doing somthing with it.

Fuck off femshit

Only Watamote didn't have yuri tones at the start, fuckhead. That's just braindead yurifags like yourself pretending that the recent pandering didn't come out of nowhere. Tomoko trying to grope Yuu was the same thing as her hitting on Tomoki-a way of showing just how fucked up and desperate for sex she was. It wasn't about appealing to the lowest common denominator for sales.

>Paying attention to the manga is bad

user, people can be bisexual you know ?

Bisexual MC =/= being a yuri manga.

Did you forget her also finding her classmates attractive? I'm not even a yuri fan, but to act like this isn't a thing in watamote is retarted. Re read the manga. Yes dumbass her talking to her brother was a quick joke. Thank you for proving my point, DUMBASS. Fuck even befoer chapter 40s befor you were on Yea Forums, people already talked about yuri. God forbid there be a arc that has a bit of yuri in it. No matter what the story does you faggots are always going to complain. If it was a guy you fags would bitch for decades.

Don't bother, new fans are gonna keep bitching.

the manga is all about her trying to get a boyfriend/girlfriend you retard

Isn't he saying that her being bi isnt the same as a yuri manga?

so like, what kind of stuff is the manga even about now?

She looked up the one girl's skirt and thought that Nemo offering her lipstick was an attempt at seducing her. Which were also ways of showing her being fucked in the head and obsessed with sex, shithead.
And no shit for brains, her talking to her brother wasn't a quick joke. It was a major part of the early manga when he was one of the few people Tomoko could actually talk to. Follow your own advice and reread the manga.

Charcter interactions like it always has been. Tomokos more social now, and we see where that goes with her, or others reactions to shit.

oh your normal run of the mill ,slice of life, a bajillion friends type anime. Tomoko is now popular and less awkward.

I did, and what you posted was just a quick joke, like I said. Again, why are you retarded? Tomoko being bi is not new, if you followed the manga, or any thread, people already new that shed eventrully be hit on, by a guy/girl. And even then, was more predicted to be a girl. This was predicted in the early chapter 40 chapters. Now what we see is what has been a thing since the beggining, Tomoko wants to become more sociable, she does, hijinks ensue. Tomoko wants to be desired, she is, hijinks ensue. This isn't the author banking on yuri shit, your just a little bitch.

I like the new direction of the manga but it's retards like you that are ruining these threads

it was always been the point of the manga the fact that she can't get a boyfriend/girlfriend

I can't believe Asuka trapped Ucchi in a constant loop of getting cucked, that seemed a bit much.

I never said she wasn't bi, shit for brains, I said that Watamote wasn't actually a yuri manga. And I don't give a fuck what people thought years ago. People also thought she'd get with her brother, and Nico nuked that. Now Nico teases yurishitters instead of focusing on what made Watamote actually good in the first place.

It really wasn't, she was clearly just fucking around with her brother and would never actually want to do the stuff to him that she does to Yuu, never mind anything more.

Yuri and Nemo aren't gay for Tomoko and if you read the manga you'd know that their interactions with Tomoko are about deepening their friendship not establishing a romantic relationship. That's just retarded /u/ fags labelling every girl in this manga as gay because they wrongly assume the character development has turned the manga into yuri. It's a coming of age comedy manga with one gay character and one yuribait character. /u/ fags are vermin that infected these threads when Asuka got focus. Yes they had their own threads on /u/ but they never tended to come to Yea Forums and try to argue so ferociously that Watamote is a sort of yuri harem like they do now.

No body thought shed get with her brother dipshit. Watamote is still watamote and this yuri arc is not an issue. So what if the story has a bit of yuri in it, quit your bitching. The point is stop acting like this wasnt going to happen. Thats why I bring up those past threads.

tomoko would never fuck her brother, are you guys fucking insane ? she clearly sees him as a brother only and thats why she dislikes komi

Anyone who genuinely thought that were retards on the same level as people thinking the series would actually end with her killing herself. Nico didn't nuke anything, they had a natural reaction from Tomoko that was not at all surprising to people who weren't projecting incest fantasies.

>and try to argue so ferociously that Watamote is a sort of yuri harem
Most of the time I see "yuri harem" mentioned it's usually people trying to shit on the series.

We've seen 80+ chapters of content which includes many chapters of Yuri trying to be Tomoko's best friend and nothing that indicates she wants a romantic relationship with Tomoko. We know that Yuri is a social outcast because of her introverted nature and that she feels uncomfortable trying to be friendly with people outside her close group of friends (Tomoko, Mako and Yoshida). You can tell from her meeting with Yuu that Yuri was jealous of how good friends Yuu was with Tomoko which was a catalyst for Yuri to try to befriend Tomoko better like the first name thing or her petty competing with Nemo. Go fuck yourself and fuck your fetish for lesbians.

Instead she just barged into his room and told him to show her his dick.
Uh, yes there were people who thought she'd get with her brother. Shippers like yourself aren't exactly known for being rational or intelligent.
And there's no indication that Nico was going to start going in this direction. FFS they couldn't even be consistent with characterizing Yuri and Asuka.
And no, I'm not going to quit bitching because it violates your safe space.

Perhaps I was exaggerating slightly but go to /u/. There is a yuri turbo autist that genuinely believes that since the trip Nico has been setting up a yuri harem with Yuri, Nemo, Asuka, Ucchi and Shizuku. It's hardly debatable that more than two of those girls are actually being portayed as potential romantic partners for Tomoko.

Yeah, she barged into his room and told him to show her his dick because she thought it would make her better than the other girls.

You can't argue for shit. I think Tomoko could be bi and that she has a girl crush on Asuka (but Asuka probably doesn't share the same feelings and hurts Tomoko by leading her on). But Yuri is definitely not being written as a gay character.

It's one of those rare cases where anyone interested in series should just watch anime instead of reading the manga that started pandering the worst fandom in existence on top of betraying the initial premise completely.

>Yuri is definitely not being written as a gay character.
yuri sexuality isn't clear and probably will never be

Exactly, it wasn't "I want my brother's dick" it was her trying to see a dick because she had gotten it into her head that merely seeing a dick will lead to her becoming more popular.

>started pandering the worst fandom in existence on top of betraying the initial premise completely.
is it that hard to understand that character development exists ? no one would want to read tomoko being a loser with no friends other then her brother and Yuu for 3 years of school

that is pure speculation until I see more concrete proof the only one who has a crush on tomoko is ucchi.

>she got pissed when the tomoko talked with the other girl instead of her and keeps teasing tomoko
She's trying to be better friends with Tomoko by coddling her because she thinks she likes it. As for Yuu, her reaction is pretty similar to how Yuri might react in that she's jealous of someone for sharing a closer relationship with Tomoko than she does. Asuka could be gay, she might not be. But as of right now she isn't confirmed to be gay unlike Ucchi.

It's one thing to let her slowly start getting over her issues and another thing for manga to become a full blown fucking yuribait SOL out of ass.

If you don't read it stop spreading lies about it.

She isn't popular.

Ok let me clarify, anybody who isn't a retard didnt think shed fuck her brother. I'm not shipping anyone with anyone.

Honestly yes, though I imagine it will INCREASE the amount of shitposting.

>One, possibly two girls are into her
>full blown fucking yuribait SOL out of ass.
Uh huh

I wouldn't say she was popular. Nico making her friends with Asuka was a bad decision and is one of the reasons why we can't have a proper Watamote thread without it descending into yuri shit flinging. After the trip she should have been friends with only Yuu, Yuri, Nemo and Yoshida and everyone else should have been more like acquaintances to her.

That's one, possibly two girls too much.

Yuri was originally an ordinary girl who had to put up with Tomoko and Yoshida and could mediate between them. Now she's an autistic social wreck hopelessly dependent on Mako and Tomoko.
Asuka was originally just kind towards the social outcasts of the class. Now she's another pseudo-lesbian obsessed with Tomoko, to the point where she gloats over how she got a text while Yuri and Nemo didn't.
And that's still massively fucked up, which was my point.

The girl in Horimiya has a kouhai that has a crush on her and it's still a great romance manga. The solution is either getting Tomoko a boyfriend or not making this manga have a romance element in the fucking first place

>sexiest girl in the manga

yeah, really sad.

i can agree with yuri but

You mean you can't pay attention?
Yuri then
>standoffish, loner, blunt, gets VERY angry when "betrayed"
Yuri now
>standoffish, loner, blunt, gets VERY angry when "betrayed", punches sometimes

Asuka then
>responsible (one of the earliest character introductions, introduced by getting Tomoko to do something), disinterested in most others, keeps to herself for the most part, likes fashion, is confident about her wants (see: how composed she is during the parent/student interview)
Asuka now
>responsible, disinterested in most others, keeps to herself for the most part, likes fashion, dislikes conflict, is direct about her wants, is indirect when she doesn't like something
and seeing as she was a minor character to begin with (Yuri too) "additional character details we learn about" aren't "not remaining consistent", it's "learning more about a person as you get closer to them", and both characters' behavior follows believably from their established and initial traits

>thinks shipping is something that shouldn't be discouraged
Shipping is one of the most degenerative things the fans of a series can do. Let the author tell the story they want to tell rather than create your own headcanon about the characters.

Well my point was in response to the idea this was the same as the her wanting to grope Yuu, there's no ulterior motive there, she wants to grope her boobs simply because she likes groping boobs.

It's going to be a shitstorm if that ever happens, the rubicon was crossed months ago.

shipping is very cancerous

I dont think she has ever gropped Yuu.

What should keep you invested is a genuine enjoyment of the series. Not an obsessive fixation on who a character should end up with. Shipping in general is something that ruins manga discussion.

>Asuka was originally just kind towards the social outcasts of the class
false, she doesn't care about other people and hasn't really shown that she has a particular interest in outcasts or anything
She interacts with Tomoko AFTER Tomoko interacts with her, and does so again when Tomoko happened to be giving book recommendations. She also gets an ugly boy a refill at a party when said boy is sitting right next to her (consistent factor: Asuka may not care about others, but for the most part she remains polite). She also called Tomoko regarding their class cheering for the baseball team, though why this is is not clear. Maybe she was class rep, who knows? Later, she doesn't cheer for the boys in her class during the athletic meet, and overall she doesn't seem to be concerned with people who she doesn't 1) have an interest in already or 2) have a per-existing and very friendly relationship (see: treatment of Fang, ignorance of Tomoko's other friends, lack of concern about old friends, extremely consistent about remaining in contact with her close friend Kayo despite changed classes)

It'll be ok when Ucchi gets her own spin-off Till then heartbreak awaits

As a character development fag, you faggot, I've been paying attention and if Nico wants Tomoko to have a boyfriend they don't seem to actually be making much/any indication of that. If that's what they want, they need to write in an interest in boys again, but the most she's done has been saying "I still don't have a boyfriend", meanwhile obsessing over tits, a girl, and panties/vaginas, while explicitly not giving a shit about cute boys surrounding her. It's not that I have a problem with "het" like so many /u/-fags, I have a problem with bad writing, and a turn to a boyfriend *at this point* would be bad writing, unless they change direction again.

>Yuri was originally an ordinary girl who had to put up with Tomoko and Yoshida and could mediate between them.
She clearly wasn't ordinary, she had just one friend and had ended up in the outcast group where she was initially even more anti social than Tomoko. She clearly didn't want to mediate anything but she knew she didn't really have much choice. It's not like she showed amazing social skills it was just typical "now now, she didn't mean it" stuff.

yurifags burned down kyoani, who know what they'd do

Every self-introduction Tomoko has made has been referenced again later. This is DEEPEST LORE Nico we're talking about after all. What they just have to do is get Yoshinori to start to talk to Tomoko more often, he does seem to have an interest in her since he brought up being seated near Tomoko each year.

I wouldn't go nuclear, mister shitposter, I'd just be mildly disappointed and critical.

Unlike something like Nanashi no Asterism (which is literally just about "middle school lesbians" in the end), there is basis for Tomoko getting a boyfriend, it's just that at this point it wouldn't make as much sense.

Read my post again
>If that's what they want, they need to write in an interest in boys again
Also for what it's worth you can't take the self introduction at face value. The literal whole point of it was to perform a cringe act because Nemo was taunting her and she was pissed off. If you want to point at anything, point at what I myself mentioned: her saying she doesn't have a boyfriend (yet) in a fairly recent chapter. I couldn't tell you which, though, it was just one thought line.

I really want to know what's her deal with Fuuka. It looks like Fuuka really likes Asuka but Asuka looks like she only loves to troll Fuuka.

She thought about pairing herself with Wada but thought that chibis don't go together with shotas so she shipped him with Asuka instead

>Tomoko becomes a normie
>Normie come out in full force to defend her

You motherfuckers were nowhere near this series when it started and never said anything about her getting 12 friends. You plastic bastards are the reason why this series went to shit.

which is pretty much just her fetishizing as usual, she wanted a dog to mount Asuka, too

Honestly she's just a massive pervert, but my point is that she hasn't shown any romantic interest in guys herself. CAN she? Yes, absolutely, but it's weird that she hasn't, aside from for the artist during her dark and desperate days.

Asuka seems as if she is only close friends with Kayo, Akane, and Tomoko. In a way, despite everything, she's a bit of a loner herself. She interacts with others but only goes out of her way to be chummy with Kayo and Akane prior to her becoming interested in (falling in love with) Tomoko. She's also planning on going to a school for herself, regardless of her friends; she doesn't even care that Fuuka is trying to get in the same place.

>You mean you can't pay attention?
I lol'd. Actually read the manga sometime.
Yuri in Kyoto was only really standoffish and blunt when angry about Mako. Other than that, she was capable of mediating between Tomoko and Yoshida. Fuck, she even smiled regularly
Now, she's hopelessly socially inept and needs Mako around to make lunch for her and handle any form of social interaction. She didn't even give a fuck about Komishit getting into a lunchroom fight with Yoshida.
That's not even getting into post-Kyoto where Yuri took the initiative with Tomoko and was cheerful and friendly. As opposed to now where she avoids social interaction with anyone other than Tomoko and Mako, is constantly gloomy and only really smiles over Tomoko doing something for her.
Yes, Asuka was kind to that dork. She was also kind to Fang during Disneyland. She didn't obsess over them and passive-aggressively gloat over a text message.

They probably have some history and Fuuka ended up thinking they had more of a bond than Asuka clearly does. Personally I want to see more of Kaho, she seems like an actual close friend of Asuka and we might get some crucial insight on Asuka's character through her.

>Now, she's hopelessly socially inept and needs Mako around to make lunch for her and handle any form of social interaction.
Yayy, ignoring that Mako consistently worries about how well Yuri might interact with others. She gets along with Yoshida and Tomoko because they are literally the only two people she can get along with, and Tomoko is actively attempting to bridge a gap/as we learn later, Yuri has a fondness for people "like her" (she explicitly thinks about how close she is to both Yoshida and Tomoko, while ignoring people like Fang, Nemo, Asuka, Shizuku, and so on, who are "normal").
>That's not even getting into post-Kyoto where Yuri took the initiative with Tomoko and was cheerful and friendly
This however, is absolutely valid. While you're wrong about Yuri being "really good at socialization" (paraphrased), because demonstrably she'd rather not speak with anyone at all and has no friends other than Mako, she actually used to smile pretty easily. This was retconned into her hardly ever smiling, and only laughing twice.
>She was also kind to Fang during Disneyland
She really, really wasn't. Aside from giving Fang a slight bone by sending her a message and getting some food for her, during that trip was one of the few times we've seen Asuka pissed off. At who? Minami, who she bluntly ignores and doesn't even attempt to stop when she runs off.

And... what WOULD she gloat over? She didn't gloat in the chapter you're obviously referencing, either, she was happy to herself. How awful

that's grasping for straws, if you sincerely think Nemo's words of sympathy were supposed to be a hint that a boy who has hardly ever showed interest in Tomoko is interested in Tomoko.

Not only does Yoshida barely ever acknowledge Tomoko's existence (you can barely count the moments on two hands), he only ever does so in a way that's consistent with his outward and generally energetic character. He's also one of the few characters confirmed to have been in a relationship, and was depressed when that ended. It's more than likely he already has another girlfriend.

Barely giving a single girl the time of day across three years of being classmates != "having a crush". Look at Ucchi, Asuka, and Nemo for "showing interest in someone else". Not necessarily romantic, even. Nemo, however, has always directly tried to befriend Tomoko, until that scene after the first cafeteria chapter.

I don't think you know what "normie" means, but ok

now that i think about it, yuri ending up alone would make more sense

>Yoshida
Yoshinori, I forget his name easy since most call him Yocchan

>grasping for straws
>I'd like to think
I know it's wishful thinking, you don't have to be a condensing asshole.

*condescending

>tomoki ends up with kotomi
She doesn't deserve him, if Yoshida's out of the running then give him to Dicky-chan, anyone but Komishit.

That's not being an asshole user, I'm saying what it is. Grasping for/at straws is a term meaning "so desperate for something you'll take any little bit for proof or satisfaction".

KOMI HAS BEEN HORNY FOR HIM FOR YEARS
LET HER BE HAPPY

I rather think nobody deserves Tomoki, and I mean it in the sense of "Tomoki is a really plain kind of misanthropic dude who I wouldn't wish on anyone". He's totally a downer, low-energy, and he angers a little too easily.

but, his dick is pretty big you know

Well it's irrelevant now because you're being a condescending asshole. I know what you meant, you don't have to spell it out. I wasn't seriously considering that Nemo was trying to hint at anything but I was trying to say that I wish that there were moments similar to that which could have hinted at some kind of interest Yoshinori has in Tomoko. There likely won't be since Nico has neglected focusing on male characters aside from Tomoki, probably so that /u/ fags don't feel threatened by any possible het developments and stop buying volumes.

>not in the long game to see the incest end triumphant

All of my el oh els. You probably lost money from the hat market implosion didn't you?

>mako ends up with yoshida
I don't get the appeal of this retarded ship. They're friendly with each other so they should end up together? It's one of the most nonsensical and delusional aspects of yuri shipping.

>Tanigawa Nico does NOT decide to make the fanbase favorite, Tamura Yuri, a love interest although this would be the easiest and most profitable means to secure a yuri fanbase
And fucking yet

dipshits like yourself think that decisions THEY made that made people like THEIR manga are somehow the result of pandering. Nobody was saying "make Asuka her wife" before THEY made Asuka prominent, nobody forced any hands. Even the bizarre Yoshida/Mako ship is a product of THEIR writing of the two characters as consistently together, though even I'll admit that it seems in the latest chapters that it may be pandering (since prior to the latest chapters, there wasn't that much noteworthy between them aside from Mako rushing to Yoshida's side and vice versa when both were seemingly hurt by something emotionally). What I'm saying is that correlation does not equal causation, you fucking faggot. If they made a series that got popular on its own merits, then that is all there is to it. If you want to make a case that they're pandering, you'll have to explain why they chose to "pander" with a background character and not the #1 most popular character literally named Yuri.

>I dropped the manga when it was getting boring and now I'm mad that after 6 years they slowly grew the character into someone respectable with a handful of good friends.
>Also, having friends means you're a normalfag. That's definitely what that means because Tomoko, an out-of-touch idiot in most cases, said so. It doesn't have to do with being not being "weird" or anything. Surely "normal"fags can be bizarre, perverted, weirdos too duh

The fact that Yuri even attempted to mediate at all is completely out of line with how she's portrayed now.
That page came from shortly after she was introduced throwing a fit at Mako. The only other time in Kyoto she really acted the way she does now was when Mako texted her at the hotel. Otherwise she was the normal one of the trio.
Mako should worry about Yuri because Yuri really is that bad in social situations. Remember when she was left all by herself at the KBBQ? Or when she barged in on the Tomomote trio at Starbucks? Or when she did the same thing in the cafeteria? Or any time she's been with Nemo?
Yuri seems to like Tomoko because they're both socially inept introverts, and dislikes any sort of indicator that Tomoko might really be that similar to her. And she doesn't just ignore those other girls, she's outright hostile towards them.
Was she really good at socialization? No, but she was better than Tomoko, unlike now where Tomoko is actually good in social situations (proper character development) and Yuri doesn't know how to interact with anyone who's not Mako or Tomoko (plain old fashioned retconning, although it was for the better).
As for Asuka, she let Minami join her group and told off Pineapple for being too harsh with her. She didn't exactly dote on Fang, but she was a lot nicer to her than anyone apart from Mako.
And she was gloating in that chapter. If she she was just happy she wouldn't have marched over to Yuri and Nemo and emphasized that she got a respons while they didn't.

Just to reiterate, Op. Nico and Tanigawa worked closely with the anime staff, and the series covers the first 35 or so chapters (even all the Omakes) nearly completely.

There are only 3 things to watch out for:
1- some background characters that end up being more important got changed around too much.
2- There's 1 chapter where Tomoko runs a marathon that was not included in the anime, but chapters after it are, so you might accidently skip it when you start reading.
3- there's a side manga called Tomomote about Tomoko and Yuu-chans middle school days. I highly recommend you read the first 3 chapters of the side manga at the very least before you read past chapter 30 of the main series.

Go back to Yea Forums.

>Yuri doesn't know how to interact with anyone who's not Mako or Tomoko
She's still better with strangers than Tomoko is, at least in the sense that she doesn't have social anxiety. Even as recently as the ping pong chapter you've got Tomoko shielding herself with Yuri and tugging on her sleeve to get Yuri to talk to a clerk at a register.
>And she was gloating in that chapter. If she she was just happy she wouldn't have marched over to Yuri and Nemo and emphasized that she got a respons while they didn't.
She didn't do that. What the fuck? She literally doesn't say shit to them about getting a message. That's not gloating.

Not the same user you replied to, but what are you even on about? Tomoko was always a failed normalfag and this is a coming of age story of her becoming a slightly less of a failed normalfag.

Imagine the manga not being good enough to stand on it's own, so you mentally ill retards needs to force shit to make it tolerable to your faggot mind.

She what? What are YOU on about?

She wanted to be a normalfag, however she isn't. More specifically, she desperately desired sexual prowess and obnoxious popularity. She wanted to be a riajuu, a normalfag, a person who is deeply ingrained in social circles and fucks. A fem-chad.

She has not become that and probably never will. For one thing, being a fucking weirdo excludes you from being normal, categorically. She likes anime and manga, porn games, drama CDs, and bizarre humor. She's a horrible pervert and she eschews social norms regularly: talking openly about cunnilingus, blatantly looking up people's skirts, sexually harassing her friends and being strange as hell. The most "normal" aspect of her is that she has friends and likes their company, and this is not what "being a normalfag" is about, even if Tomoko herself (who again, demonstrates over and over a complete lack of understanding about LOADS of things) says she's a "normie" now, even fucking weirdos can have friends, and not even only a few friends. For what it's worth, she has a few friends she likes a lot. Normalfag? No. Normal? Yeah, only insofar as it's fairly human to eventually be able to get along with SOMEONE. We are social animals.

and
2) she's recently been shown to care about Asuka's feelings, though it's easy to miss. After denying the boob grope she has this to think. This isn't even getting into the fact that she's spending a lot of effort to, in large part (though not ONLY for this reason), get into the same university as Asuka.

>not only this, they make her seemingly a romantic interest and foil to a different character whose homosexuality THEY are treating seriously
What homosexuality? Nico hasn't explicitly mentioned that Asuka has any romantic feelings for Tomoko. You're just inserting your own rationalisation of Asuka being gay as an explanation for her odd recent behaviour. Asuka very well could be gay but at the same time she might not be gay. This whole plotline is still developing and your observations are not fact yet, just your own subjective speculation. It's not the same as Ucchi's case where it has been directly confronted. It's remains just yuribait right now. But I doubt explaining that to you would do much Asuka autist.

Agreed, I wish the manga would just end already, it's too painful to watch on how it has fallen from grace.

And I've explained things people have literally copy and pasted about Tomoko's character development, Imae's significance, Nemo's reasons for her curious rivalry with Tomoko, Yuri's development as a character, and so on. I've been one of the people who has highlighted the parallelism between Shizuku and Tomoko and Tomoko and Imae, pointing out that it's not just gay. I have literally spent nearly a decade following and explaining the merits of this manga, and you have only recently started jabbering on in these threads about off topic garbage drama that is entirely in your head and doesn't matter because I like one character you hate.

after /u/

There's no proof that they're gay so it's honestly normal to assume they're straight, that's it.

inb4 there's no proof Asuka is gay, like with Ucchi and Tomoko there's actually plenty. Nemo, and especially Yuri, don't actually have any demonstrable romantic or sexual interest in girls (or boys, to be fair I guess). You could SLIGHTLY push a Nemo narrative more, but that requires yuri goggles. Which I have. I don't mind the NemoYuri or NemoKuro ships, but I don't think either are actually present in the manga itself.

No you weren't. A lot of people (shitposters aside) didn't really doubt it after the chocolate incident. But you're wrong if you think Ucchi isn't portrayed as a joke character precisely *because* she's gay.
>I've been one of the people who has highlighted the parallelism between Shizuku and Tomoko and Tomoko and Imae
Outside of /u/ most people knew that because it was being depicted as a continuation of Tomoko and Imae's senpai/kouhai relationship, albeit one that isn't necessarily the same because of Tomoko's autism.

why can't straightniggers and /u/fags co-exist, you retards are acting like children

there is nothing that proves the characters are straight, and there is nothing to prove that the characters are gay

the only character that has a confirmed sexuality is ucchi, the rest is purely headcanon which means tomoko can be gay or straight until proven otherwise

>so it's honestly normal to assume they're straight, that's it.
that's a headcanon

I'm far from being a /u/fag like this faggot is implying, I just want to enjoy this manga without retarded secondaries shitting the threads all the time

>But you're wrong if you think Ucchi isn't portrayed as a joke character precisely *because* she's gay.
>She is but so is everyone, Tomoko included, and like Tomoko she has moments that aren't taken as jokes, while hiding genuine developments as a character BEHIND more jokes.
Also I distinctly remember a lot of she's just a joke so nothing will come of it, and it's not like she's actually gay, and it's not confirmed etc.

And let's not pretend there weren't a flurry of "HOW GAY" comments right here when Tomoko hugged her. Much as I like yuri, I was one of those who was saying it really wasn't what it looked like, or rather, what it looked like was the joke.

That's reality, user. It isn't normal to be abnormal.

yeah yeah ok user, but i think you are on the wrong board right now

>We are social animals
She was always a closet lesbian and those weird behavior was just because she was sexually frustrated and confused. Thankfully she has now realized what she really is and calmed down. This isn't rocket science.

There's no proof Asuka is gay. What you call proof is her so far unexplained motives for interacting with Tomoko. I'm open to Asuka being gay but right now it is far too open to doubt and other interpretations for it to be called evidence of her being gay. Maybe hints if that is the decision Nico takes but not evidence.
He's right. You have to show that they deviate from the norm because of how small a minority gay characters are.

Well Asuka offered Tomoko the opportunity to touch her breasts and maybe her hair

absolutely seething

>the only character that has a confirmed sexuality is ucchi
This. Ucchi is a straight girl whose brain got fried by Tomoko's autism; the rest are up in the air but probably all straight too.

I'm fine with Tomoko being bi but try telling that to the yuriniggers

nah

you too

tomoko is bisexual, there is no doubt about it.

>He's right. You have to show that they deviate from the norm because of how small a minority gay characters are.
yeah they are a minority, but most gay people act like normal people, or do you expect every gay character to act like ucchi ?

asuka/yuri/nemo/mako/etc might be gay since they never talked about their sexualities, but they might be straight aswell

as i said, its purely headcanon

(you)

i do agree that she is bi but there is no concrete proof of it

This is being what I call "willfully daft". If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it must be a chicken. This is what you're saying.

COULD she be straight? Absolutely, at some point it could be shown that it was all misunderstandings and every gay action she took was just a very bizarre attempt at friendship. However, that is willfully ignoring that it is deliberately construable as gay, ignoring that other characters FIND it gay, ignoring how deeply she cares about Tomoko's opinion of her, and so on. If it turns out she's straight, fine, but why ignore the observable truths? The fact that a lot of the time, she acts like she's in love with a girl and wants to experience sexual moments with her? That's gay.

The only reason I would stick stubbornly to some fool idea of "oh, but she isn't NECESSARILY gay" is that it isn't outright confirmed, but it's basically like how in Touhou there is overwhelming evidence that Yakumo Yukari is an older version of Maribelle Hearn after having slipped through time, however ZUN hasn't *outright* said that they're the same person, he's merely hinted it in 50 ways.

We can't get along mostly because of zealous faggots like We actually did have a pretty good relationship with /u/ before Asuka rose to prominence. I think it was because certain folk on that board had become so attached to the idea of a yuri end, especially Asuka ending up with Tomoko that they have become far more rude and forceful in their shipping. Plus because some of them read solely for yuri, they don't feel as strongly for the more comedic or emotional moments and instead only focus on the yuri aspects of the manga, which are relatively minor.

Irrelevant. The story was told with the specific intent to aggravate normalfags and cater to outcasts. That was reversed for a time now and the original target audience is rightfully pissed. I don't care if most of them dropped the manga, it still disregards the ones who didn't.

well yeah, it's just more suggestion about what she wants which, clearly, is part of the reason she's so popular. She hasn't simply come out of the closet and made her intentions known, she's almost insidiously attempting to seduce Tomoko, and seeing all the ways she's been doing that makes her really fascinating. It's not a wonder you had that display for the latest volume at Toranoana where one of the employees is just gushing and gushing about all the strange subtle things she's been doing.

If she was just called gay, it'd be less interesting. Instead it's being built up so that when it does happen, you can be one of the ones who says "I was right". Like with Ucchi

You are both idiots. She was always a normalfag. She wanted to be a part of the normalfag rituals like socializing and getting friends, but she couldn't before, because her inexperience with social situations was holding her back. She improved herself in this regard and now she isn't a complete failure of a normalfag. But the desire was always there, she wasn't contempt with being alone.

>the original target audience is rightfully pissed.
What? No they aren't. What are you talking about

you? You don't count, you're in the minority. The original audience has been with the manga for years

>She was always a normalfag
Are you retarded or do you just not know what that word means

why are you speaking for the whole audience user?

Talking to a clerk about getting a ping pong room isn't remotely the same as actually interacting with people on a personal level.
Yes, Asuka absolutely did act like that. She even said "I'm glad she at least replied to me", then immediately went to Itou and Komishit to interrogate them about where Itou saw Tomoko. All while having the same look she's only otherwise gotten when angry.

i dont see what is wrong with this post , also /u/ doesn't really like asuka as much as you think

I like the way the story progressed in the manga. It felt unique, real and believable. All the things that Fap Note did not. Fap Note was so shit and annoying and came out of nowhere with its happiness faggotry ending. Watamote a much better manga and anime with much better people.

Have you considered that it's actually a duck in a chicken costume? I'd be more supportive if Nico was genuine in how they developed a romance but at the end of the day I can't shake the feeling that one of the reasons Nico is being so ambiguous about Asuka's exact feelings for Tomoko is because they feel compelled to continue to pander somewhat to those fans of the series that are interested in its yuri undertones but don't seriously consider Ucchi as a potential romantic interest for Tomoko. Also Asuka caring about how much Tomoko values her isn't necessarily gay since it's something that could easily apply to Yuri. I believe that the Yuu thing is more to do with the fact that Asuka thought that for the first time she was the closest person to Tomoko since neither Yuri or Nemo got a reply back. Now she's learned Tomoko has a best friend who is closer to her than Asuka despite her best efforts.

You are the one who should lurk more. There is nothing more normalfag than desiring friends and wanting to socialize in the first place. Tomoko had that intent right from the beginning. Are you just pretending?

Just because you aren't pissed and want to read a story from a normalfag perspective, it doesn't mean that the others are okay with it. Are we just going to ignore the anons who have been complaining for about a year now? Most of them doesn't understand what really changed, but you can't deny that they exist and they are angry. A manga that catered to them specifically stops doing so and even worse starts to cater to the opposite camp, is a pretty good reason to be angry.

Pic related, can't you read between the lines?
There is still reason to think it isn't. There is room for doubt and that doubt will remain until Nico addresses the matter one way or the other.
>This isn't a drama manga
Nor did I in any way insinuate that it was. Asuka worrying about what kind of person Yuu is to Tomoko isn't going to cause serious drama. More likely it's the set up to another chapter and some awkward developments between Asuka and Tomoko because of Yuu, similar to Yuri's experience.

If you want to believe that's what happened, you are welcome to. Consider following the other user's example.

What does that have to do with anything? What does the pretending meme have to do with 4channers, literal antithesis to normalcy, spent actual years pining for girlfriends or friends at all, and yet you call the idea of wanting friends "normalfaggotry".

No, that's human, you fucking imbecile.

The thing is, Tomoko didn't even really WANT friends, though on rare occasion she pined for a friend group. She wanted to get fucked. She wanted to be atop a social hierarchy. She wanted to lord over others by being cool and obviously social. A normalfag.

Lurk the fuck more stop using words you don't understand, alternatively: fine a rope.

>out lesbian
She isn't out you moron. It's like an open secret (I mean she wrote Liberty) but she isn't out. As for pic related, I was talking in hypotheticals if you bothered to actually read what I wrote. Asuka could well be written as someone with an interest in Tomoko that is not romantic but because of the context (Tomoko's obvious crush on her) their interactions could come off subtext for yuri but may not necessarily develop into yuri, hence it could be yuribait. Emphasis on what I said, 'could'.

God damn, it's virtually identical.

>She isn't out you moron.
Not what she said from how I understood it, at all, but if random user says so it must be true.

Eh, I agree, though things have changed, originally speaking Tomoko only wanted to be super popular just for the sake of the position.

Ucchi Gang is the best group of friends in this manga. There's no debating it

Seiyuu are under a lot of pressure to refrain from discussing their romantic private lives (not as bad as idols mind you because their fans are rampant purityfags). Maybe some close friends or family know but it's definitely not something she has been vocal about in the public domain.

Yeah, we need to see more of them.

I actually like these names. I'm going to start using them more often, especially Nemo Normies because it has a nice ring to it.

I'll quote this, though I know you're not wrong about seiyuu in general
>Kitta is [...] obsessed with yuri and created and hosted an entire convention about yuri and has had a podcast for discussing how to better make the yuri genre focus on realistic lesbian experiences, she's appeared in lesbian romance plays and has her own manga focused heavily around real life lesbian culture. (it's called liberty its rly good).
Now I will say this, looking at it again she isn't out. However, she's at least openly supportive of that sort of sexuality. Who knows, genuinely? She could just be incredibly interested in lesbians and lesbian fiction and the lesbian experience, but she isn't lesbian.

And to be clear I'm not being mocking, that legitimately could be the case. Personally, I like trans fiction a hell of a lot, and I am absolutely not a tranny at all (in fact, I'm fairly transphobic, when it comes to real ones). Sure, I'll say, who knows? Though if she isn't actually gay, she's plainly the sort of person who would tell Nico YES, YES if they bit the bullet on Tomoko hooking up with a girl.

these are the "direct" confirmations that at the very least she's in love with Tomoko. It could be that she meant someone else in either case, however to seriously suggest that would be completely moronic. This isn't even getting into how she plainly adores Tomoko, with only those two things (and really only the first) it's confirmed that she loves Tomoko. In other words, she's gay.

I think she's a total dyke but there are straight women that write yuri. And I doubt Kitta has much impact on the creative process of Watamote anymore since there's zero chance for a new anime, even though Nico liked her as the voice of Tomoko. It's going to be like Slam Dunk where the anime stopped once the manga got ahead and it was never revisited despite the success of the manga. Also whoever you're quoting has shit tastes because Liberty is a disappointing mess. If you want realistic yuri, Jin is probably the better opinion.

If wanting to have friends and socialize makes you a normalfag, then it seems like kind of a pointless thing to argue about. Most people are normalfags by such a definition, who wants to read a manga about someone who literally has no interest in other human beings? Fair enough if you want to read something like that but it doesn't interest me at all.

Also it seems to me a bit useless arguing over the semantics of words like 'normalfag,' y'all clearly just use the word differently and it means different things to you.

You're not making any sense, newfaggot.

Not a normalfag. She's your typical anonymous who is an outcast not because he likes being alone, but because he is unable to fit in.
You know that Fox-and-the-Grapes thing people will bring up all the time? It's pretty accurate for most of our userbase.

I like to divide it like this:

>Normalfags (socially ok people)
(1) Successful guy:
A normalfag with a taste for self-improvement. Has life goals and is confident in himself.
(2) Chad:
Also bears self-confidence, but has no relevant life goals. Hedonistic, lives solely on pussy.

>Outcasts (socially awkward/introverts)
(3) Thatfeel:
Lacking any social expertise and, therefore, confidence. Is as stupid as the Chad and wished he could live on pussy, but has no means to do it. Sustains the Chad empire by trying to be one.
(4) True Introvert:
No social skills too. But, instead of lacking confidence, this guy here is overflowing with indifference. He has no concerns about real life (other than whether his Figma toys are going to arrive this week) and lives life for himself, just like the Normalfags do.

--

At the end of the day, number (3) is the only unhappy of the flock. (2) and (3) make up 90% of the Internet, sadly, and they keep fighting a "Normies vs. Virgins" battle, while (1) and (4) would be perfectly capable of living in piece.

Tomoko is (3) and a very loyal portrait of the scum of the earth who desrves to live in the cesspool of their own life choices.

When the (3) people complain about WataMote, what they are really expressing is how much they hate themselves. WataMote is too real for them to take it.

If you're a (4), you can sympathize with her spaghetti drops, but still bear in mind it's her own fault - that's why it's funny.
If you're a (2), you can still enjoy the show because you live off others' misery. Laughing at the (3) rabble who keeps your pussy empire going is what you do best.
If you're a (1), you will probably not get the pont of the show, being unable to relate to anything depicted in it.

>>Normalfags (socially ok people)
>(1) Successful guy:
>A normalfag with a taste for self-improvement. Has life goals and is confident in himself.
the reason we use "normalfag" is not this, the key word is "normal".

If you are fucking weird in any way, you can't be a normalfag. This is an important distinction because most internet denizens partake in niche entertainment that is mocked and misunderstood by, you guessed it, normalfags. It's the reason Nemo refrained from revealing her own not-normal interests. She has ultimately largely adapted a kind of half-normal status because she has niche interests, but they aren't too bizarre. Unlike Tomoko, Nemo is not knee deep in weird shit, she just likes less popular things. She edges on hipster, but that's not the right word for it.

Anyway it is sincerely important to remember that normalfags are normal. They're the sort who insult you for watching panty anime, they're the ones who say you're a degenerate, they're the ones who moral police everything and bid for censorship, they're people who don't understand the "strange". Normalfags are "normal".

Ergo, a fucking weird person with a lot of friends and a pretty decent life is not a normalfag.

God I wish that were me.

What about failed normies? Where do they fall on your spectrum, and what do you think they would make of the show?

Why exactly does everyone who is socially outcasted have to be either bitter or indifferent? Some people want friends but aren't bitter assholes about it.

diff. user
Basically, and I'm being sincere here, childhood is thinking less of the world and being bitter about your lack of socializing. Adulthood is realizing how genuinely you don't give a fuck, probably finding true friends (on the internet or otherwise), and accepting your introversion.

In other words, the difference between part 1 and 2 of WataMote.

That's actually pretty damn accurate. Fuck 2's and 3's.

Also I just wanted to point out that some might still consider 3's to be normalfags.

It depends on your definition of course, however surprisingly there is one definition of "normalfag" by Yea Forums standards that I've never seen anyone argue against. Whenever I see it posted everyone just seems to go along with it, so as far as I can tell that's about as close to a true agreement on definition as you're ever going to find.
and that definition for normalfag is: Someone who _strives_ for social success.
By that definition (3)'s, and by extension Tomoko, would be considered normalfags.

However, there's signs that she's turning into a 4 anyway. At the end of the anime where she just breaks out laughing and says who cares?
Most 4's probably have gone through a 3 stage in their life at some point, so it's not surprising.

I don't have any love for people who encroach on my hobbies and actively try to shut them down, that's all. I don't like people who dismiss me for what I like, either.

Happened with video games, happening very slowly with anime, but so far so good authors in Japan are trying to keep freedom of speech.

By "people who encroach on my hobbies and actively try to shut them down," are you referring to people who say it's good that Watamote developed into something that appeals more to normies?

There's nothing normal about Tomoko, so no.

If you want even one recent, far-reaching example, there's the fact that exhentai is dead now because "muh imaginary children".

Long ago, normalfag outrage prevented Kodomo no Jikan from being released officially in English.

Games are frequently barred from localization due to normalfag outrage.

Normalfags generally think anyone who watches anime or reads manga is instantaneously lesser and pathetic. This is actually seen in Nemo's flashback.

Pandering!

This makes me wonder if Tomoko will hug her kouhai when she graduates.

Sorry if I'm being dense, but while I think it's understandable to be upset about those things, but I don't really see what they have to do with this thread

Everyone died, the end

Let's make it short: a normie is someone who is trying, more or less, to conform to a given mainstream norm (There's multiple.). Said norm can lead one to be a closed-minded shit-heel. That's not really Tomoko's case as she's a free spirit who just started to manage her crippling social anxiety to successfully make friends with a few originals (Asuka included. There's something about that girl).

She already gave her a hug at the sports festival. It's a given she will give a hug to her at graduation but somehow make it very lewd.

She already tried that with awkward results

Pay attention, I guess. I was asked why I give a shit about normalfags. I give a shit because I can't ignore them, because they don't ignore me or my hobbies.

But being a normalfag (by any of the definitions people have been going by in this thread), or not having spent that much time on Yea Forums (i.e. what's being referenced in ) don't have to mean being a judgemental asshole about people hobbies, or demanding censorship.

The truth is that most of the time it does, whether they're active about it or not (basically, if asked about something, they'll more than likely say "yes" to censorship and shutting things down on moral grounds). Most people tow the party line, end of story. Again, this is demonstrated in this very manga. Also in a lot of manga. I wonder why

Pretty much.

I don't absolutely resent people for "being normal", I just generally resent what the sentiment of normalcy tends to be, and what it means for me. Because what it means for me, usually, is "I see you like thing. Well, I think that's disgusting. You shouldn't be allowed to like thing." or when I was a kid, "user, you like thing!? Wow what a fucking weirdo!"

I'm not sure what you're basing that assertion off (I'm assuming it's not just from reading manga). The majority of the population are normalfags and don't browse Yea Forums, so by condemning all normalfags you're condemning most of the population. I know plenty of normal, well-adjusted people who don't look down on anime/manga at all (and even a decent amount who watch/read it).

It just seems like a bit of an enormous jump to make to say that because someone has a healthy social life or is new to Yea Forums that they're worthy of your disdain.

>It just seems like a bit of an enormous jump to make to say that because someone has a healthy social life or is new to Yea Forums that they're worthy of your disdain.
I agree, why do you think my beef is with people I'm not beefing with.

If you don't get what I'm saying I guess that's fine, I don't want to go in circles.

Because the original post you had responded to was about telling people "lurk more" because they didn't understand the lingo on here (or because they were affirming or denying Tomoko's normal-cy), not because anyone was looking down on, or trying to censor, your interests. Maybe I misunderstood that post or something?

It's the natural discriminatory mechanism that establishes social hierachy. It was pretty useful up to the bronze age to create stable societies but I think that it is outdated since the medieval age. We can't be cavemen anymore, we need to think critically and not soly rely on an arbitrary norms.

At this rate this thread will hit bump limit soon, so is kind of pointless.

The anime goes for a far different mood and aesthetic, as it was created before the manga had advanced enough for the anime studio to know what sort of character developments there would be.

Mojo is not NEET, nor is it Hikki. They're three completely different terms and the series literally uses the first one to refer to her.

Op must be pretty confused by how his thread went.

Asuka is pretty sexually aware, there's no way she didn't know what she was doing shoving this thing into tomoko's mouth.

Because the the ones who actually follow the manga can make the most of the discussions

>and Yuri doesn't know how to interact with anyone who's not Mako or Tomoko
You know I think the deal with Yuri is less that she doesn't know how to interact with others and more that she just doesn't really care to.

Even when compared to the early manga I feel like the anime had a bit of a different tone, it felt more exaggerated.

Wata Waka

She was perfectly capable to get along with Yoshida (a complete stranger) during the Kyoto Trip though

That's what I mean, she's capable but not motivated to do so most of the time. In this case she had fallen out with her other friend and was stuck with these two. Initially she was staying pretty quiet and might have done the whole trip if she wasn't practically forced to interact more in order to stop one of her group from killing the other.

Time for Yuri.

Chapter 151. Tomoko vs lovey-dovey couple.

I miss imae, tomoko's first genuine crush.

If she wanted to win fast, no girl could do a thing.

Overpowered characters have a hard life.

Asuka vs Imae, who wins?

Attached: EAaS_KvU8AAGWXh.jpg (1430x2000, 535K)

Imae was there for Tomoko when she was at her worst, Asuka can't replicate that, she only came into the picture when Tomoko had got some friends and was in a much better place.

Imae wasn't gay, Asuka is a carpet muncher who's clearly looking for another gay girl to be a gf and thinks Tomoko is gay.

Imae was too pure for this sinful manga. She's in a better place, at a prestigious university studying hard for her prosperous future.

Attached: model student and some average looking loner.jpg (800x604, 106K)

Sure, but in a hypothetical scenario Imae would definitely win.

Imae clutching her chest thinking about how thankful she was that Tomoko was looking into her university and that she'd wait for her came across as extremely gay desu

e-hentai.org/g/1442520/95a16007da/

Twas a platonic Senpai being proud of her Kouhai for making friend. If Imae was was into girls, of course Tomoko would have pounce her like there's no tommorow. She's clearly her first real crush.

I don't remember Tomoko crushing on her. Perving, yes. But not actually crushing.

Heresy!

As if watamote wasn't yuribait all the way from the begging.

I dare to say Watamote is one of the best SOL\Comedy manga at the moment with huge and diverse cast, where all the girls have their own very distinctive traits and appearance. This is pretty unique especially considering setting.

Some say this manga became generic sol\yuri\whatever but when somebody asks about watamote-like manga it turns out there are no real alternatives.

Add subaru_kitten on snapchat! Huge tits and great ass.
!!

Maybe it was only the anime, it's the freshest in my memory, but didn't Tomoko desesperatly wanted to become her friend?

>no real alternatives
Not that I hate Watamote, but if you want more of that read the Author's other work, they're pretty much in the same tone.

Most people on /u/ actually don't consider watamote yuri-harem. They post fanart and doujins but that's all. It's kinda fun to say but watamote discussions on /u/ are often more adequate than on Yea Forums with its huge amount shitposting and hate

>Ucchi twitter bot is retweeting a bunch of Asuka fanart

Poor Bot, it got mind broken.

Just like the real Ucchi. Poor girl, I hope she gets help to turn back into her old heterosexual self.

Why on earth would Asuka try this hard to be just the friend with Tomoko? Usually people trying hard and do silly and illogic stuff when they controlled by emotions and feelings. If Asuka doesn't like Tomoko romantically than her behavior doesn't make any sense and I don't think it's case with Watamote characters.

I read them all and like them. I really like Nico's characters and sense of humor, but what I wanted to say is that Watamote isn't just your generic SOL or CGDCT manga among hundreds of others. It is pretty unique with its narrative and cast.

We don't know the reason for her behaviour so don't just go assuming she's gay no matter how neatly you think it fits your headcanon.

I agree. Tomoko is a weirdo who wants to be a normie. Yuri seems perfectly fine being weird, and seems to resent that Tomoko wants normie friends.
