Botan thread?
Botan thread?
this manga turned into a het romcom for no fucking reason
>turned into
It was always about Keitarou trying to get a girl.
Ok
Who?
Did you even read the manga, /u/ fag?
...and in the beginning it was what?
What is the author doing now? I like his character design.
Who will voice her in the inevitable adaptation?
When will namo make a new manga?
What do mangaka even do when they're not making manga?
Neet? Salaryman?
They pitch new ideas to magazine editors while looking at their savings slowly drying up.
Botan is cute as a button!
As cute as a... Botan?
>I like his character design.
Dunno, most of his later drawings are just Botan-copies.
Why is she such a baka?
Excuse me~
Literally one of my favorite manga. I have a genderbending fetish and am a sucker for romance
Brainlet
>I have a genderbending fetish
but this was crossdressing
does the job
Why is she so lovable?
Because she is sincere, honest, hardworking, pure, and the best girl. I love her.
But you described Aoi!?
She takes her daddy trauma out on every guy she meets. Shit girl, and the based MC took both her first love and childhood friend away from her. She will be even more scarred for life now.
the madwoman
How did she get away with it? Best girls aren't supposed to win, especially when they aren't introduced for a few chapters.
The crossdressing was just a vehicle to take the plot to the true story. And Botan carjacked it like the madlad she is.
asumi kana
The other girl wasn't a lesbian either.
Hearing her doing the angry Botan noises in my head right now fugg. Why does she always get the DFC role?
unpopular opinion here, I like botan but i don't like how she win. It's just like the author to decided put Aoi's Character in the trash to pander to his readers and give them what they want when his manga is getting axed(maybe to have a good publicity). MC realizes he likes her at last 3-5 chapter when there's no development of relationship between the two. how they get to know each other? Did they even hang out?maybe at the mall or karaoke? This is even worse than Raku realizes he likes Chitoge. At least their relation developed to the point that they've got each other's back. I've never thought Best Girl Winning tastes so stale.Even now the author is drawing Botan ripoffs.Looks like Kaguya, Jitsu wa and (to a lesser extent) Juliet are the good romcoms this decade.
>It's just like the author to decided put Aoi's Character in the trash to pander to his readers and give them what they want
This was pretty much the case.
Based
I agree that the manga needed to be longer, Botan winning was a good thing because she fell in love with the real Itsuki, while Aoi was in love with a person wrought in guilt everytime they hanged out. 4 or so chapters of nothing but SoL would be great where we could see Botan and Itsuki just hanging out and talking about comic books and novels without him having to worry about anything being revealed. Aoi should've also been there occasionally just to see male Itsuki and Botan bonding and her getting over her fear of men like the book fair chapters, this would all make it even better. But, even then I think Botan winning was the right choice, not just because it broke conventions, but because it feels like the relationship would work out well properly between the two compared to Itsuki and Aoi. He fell in love with her over a misunderstanding, and she barely ever even saw him without cross dressing and him not being nervous about his cross-dressing.
I like how the mangaka created Botan and got btfo by her cuteness. Cannot really think of any case else resembling this.
I mean seriously though, Botan is a perfect girl. Athletic, erudite, caring, moral, acknowledging her own weakness, and never give up on that. Jeez I want to marry Botan SO FUCKING BAD
She was locally famous for telling every guy who talked to her to go die in a fire, daddy issues or no at some point you have to realize that you're going to piss people off like that.
It's like you've never browsed a Shinka thread.
