Makeine: Too Many Losing Heroines

Volume 8 spoilers coming!! Tairasisters!! We got this fag in the bag

To be honest, I was confused.
Not by the confession itself, but by how unsure I was of my own answer.
And more than anything――at the very moment I was about to say “yes,” a figure flickered through my mind.
Things like what it all means, or how I really feel... I still don’t understand any of it after just one night.
NOT SO FAST BASORIKEKS

Bassori is trying really, really hard.
She's very cute

I hope Nukumizu realizes the precarious situation he's in.

Why do people even like Nukumizu? He's one of the worst MCs in recent memory

Why do people even like Nukumizu?

He's a Chad that can literally solve any situation.

He's one of the worst MCs in recent memory

LMAO Fucking no, he's one of the funniest and most competent ones.

Just for how long has this man have had oneitis for this lass?

I bet you think that fag from Oreigaru was a good MC

He was up to 70% of the work.
Vol 10+ Hachiman was fucked up because Watari didn't wanted to kill his cashcow.

Legal wives only. Dorobonekos out.

Cute CUTEEEEEEEEEEEE

From the perspective of the girls it really does feel like he's leading them on. Tiara is probably the worst case with this. Blissfully unaware of the tangled web she jumped into. That being said Lemon will probably confront her at one point and bring up that convo they had.

lel How will dorobokeks cope now?

Nukku is gay boy. No one sees him as actual MAN they would marry and bear children with.

From the perspective of the girls it really does feel like he's leading them on. Tiara is probably the worst case with this. Blissfully unaware of the tangled web she jumped into.

He really is doing that even if unintentionally. He really is the enemy of girls.

Two questions:

Whatever happened with the ramen date?

What pressure tactic did Bassori use to make him join her campaign?

Why do you keep spamming this alongside calling the main girls whores?

WATERBOWL HAS OFFICIALLY STARTED
who is going to win? aside from the obvious

tiara

anna

zombie

lemon

komari

judging from the spoilers so far, anyone else?

also spoilers from the other thread if anyone's curious

Anna
Tiara
Komari
Besides Asagumo which is the NTR route, nobody else has chemistry with waterman as strong as these three. Everybody else is fapbait.

Basori is being setup to fail, Ralphie will probably make an off color remark that Lemon will giggle at and there's gonna be blood in the water, Anna and Hina will probably talk about Karen in Volume 9 and Water will need to decide whether to go to Asagumo for help or not, I think Shikiya is also getting arrested.

Don't think too hard about it, every thread about any franchise gets one of these shitposters.

Thinking about stiuations where Asagumo seduces Water is now my guilty pleasure.

Hina

Who is this?

Right, I should be use to it by now, the schizo from last thread whining about Annafags was an experience to say the least.

uggos
shit genes detected

Nukumizu's childhood friend, she made a cameo in V5 and seems to know something about his past

i'm going to repost anon's live TL from the last thread for convenience

In a romcom, this would be a classic misunderstanding event—

“Of course I mean in a romantic way. Will you go out with me?”

This was a confession.
No misunderstanding, no misheard words.
I was—
being confessed to.

An event I had only ever seen in light novels was now happening to me, right in front of me, as the main character.
Seriously… is she really okay with me?

Teiara-san is fun to be around, and she’s cute, too.
No matter how I look at it, she’s way out of my league.

If I just said one word—“yes”—this girl who had only existed in my fantasies would become mine.

“Uh, um…”

I finally manage to part my dry lips.

“It’s just, well… I always thought of you as a friend, Basori-san.”

Wait, what?

“It’s all so sudden, I was just… surprised, and…”

What am I even saying?

Teiara-san is sweet and cute. Being with her is fun.
At first, she seemed a little distant, but once I got to know her, her smile turned out to be so innocent.

“This is the first time anyone’s ever said something like this to me, so I guess I’m just confused.”

It’s comfortable being with her.
If we dated, I’m sure it’d be great.

There’s absolutely no reason to turn her down.
So all I have to do is say one word—“yes”—
and I’d be going out with Teiara-san.

That spoiler

Nigga what?

I think you're on the wrong reality pal.

yanami is bi
yakisho is lesbian
chika is lesbian
sister is lesbian
shiratama is bi
zombi and prez are lesbians

taira is straight

“Um, I…”

Just as I began to speak—

“Are you okay?”

“—”

“…And then…”

I couldn’t find the words to continue.
What am I doing?

Come on, say something, anything—

“W-Wait a second—”
Teiara-san cut me off before I could finish.

“Um, well…”
“It was really sudden, wasn’t it? I kind of rushed into it.”

“A chance like this doesn’t come often, so I—”

She pressed a hand to her chest, visibly flustered.

“…Yes. Um, Nukumizu-san…”

“I—I guess I wasn’t quite ready either…”

She crouched down on the spot.
While taking deep breaths in that position, she slowly looked up.

“Would you be okay… if we started as friends?”

She said that, then—

“Friends?”

—she took my hand.
A total surprise.

Then she just quietly held it.
Like this might be the only time she'd ever get to.

“Well, I already kind of thought of us as friends,” I replied, unsure.

Teiara-san gave a weak smile, seeming a little embarrassed.

Standing up unsteadily, she added,

“You know… like talking a bit more casually, going out together sometimes. Stuff like that.”

“Y-Yeah, I guess… that much is fine,” I answered, a bit deflated.

“If someday, you could come to like me…”

“If confessing to you could eventually lead to that…”

Teiara-san looked at me with a gentle smile.

That was all.
That smile was waiting for me at the end of the choice I had put off.
And it was just too dazzling for me to handle.

Meet me after school faggot.

Right in front of me, as I wandered lost in my own emotions—

“I’m starting to get really nervous now.”

Watching her say that, I managed to respond,

“Um… being confessed to like that… it made me really happy.”

Teiara-san blushed deeply and awkwardly scratched her cheek.

“I-I said something pretty bold, didn’t I…”

I somehow squeezed those words out, and then—

“Yes, I’m hoping for a good answer,” she said with a bashful smile, clasping her hands behind her back and fanning her face with her palm.

“But still, I’ll wait while you give it proper thought…”

She smiled like she was teasing me a little.

“After all, I am a girl,” she added, looking up at me and continuing:

“So it might be better if you started liking me soon, you know?”

Not that anon but you're on, I'll see you at Karaoke in a private booth.

yanami is bi

Explain

Get a room you three

Absolute fumble of the century. What a fucking mongoloid

That's exactly what I want to do, you should come too, bring plenty of alcohol and condoms.

Anna...

Would you lose?

Nuku is not beating the autistic retard allegations with this one.

She's not gonna fumble it, right bros? She has it in the bag...

He's new to all of this, aside from that, he could have at least had the decency of saying yes or turning her down properly, he's leading on the poor girl. And I don't think she has the patience of Yanami or Lemon

She's already proven she can pin down Water and rape him at anytime she just needs to get off her ass and actually mark her territory.

Yanami walked over to the window, and from where I stood, I couldn’t see the expression on her face.

—When Teiara-san confessed to me on the bridge,
to be honest, I was confused.
Not because of the confession itself,
but more than anything—

—because I hesitated to answer.

The moment I almost said “yes” to her confession,
I realized I wasn’t sure what it meant,
or how I truly felt.

Teiara-san had said to me,
“It’s starting to get dark, huh.”

Yanami, who had been quietly looking out the window,
suddenly turned and stared at me.

You can’t figure everything out in just one night.

Yanami looked at me in silence—
her expression was a complicated mix of annoyance, exasperation, and other emotions all tangled together.

“You really are the enemy of women, Nukumizu-kun.”

How many people’s nights had I messed up?

A shadow flitted across the window just as she closed the curtains.

I still don’t understand anything.

An awkward silence settled in.
Just as I was about to speak, fed up with the tension,
Yanami suddenly smiled.

said TLanon forgot something
but im not sure what order this is, so i'll just post the whole thing
To be honest, I was confused.
Not by the confession itself, but by how unsure I was of my own answer.
And more than anything――at the very moment I was about to say “yes,” a figure flickered through my mind.
Things like what it all means, or how I really feel... I still don’t understand any of it after just one night.

She needs to mature and also overcome whatever insecurity is stopping her from doing that

All that build up and drama

Only for it to end with Anna cornering him inside a dimly lit classroom

Girl I know you're taking your time because Nukumizu is a giga autist but you really should start to take things more seriously.

“…Punch.”

“Um, Senpai?”

“Are you really okay? Please be careful on your way home.”

Shikiya-san swayed slightly, and just when I thought she was about to move—

Thump.
She threw a weak punch at my chest.

Without saying a word, Shikiya-san turned her back to me and began crossing the street toward the tram stop.

And then, midway across, she looked back just once.

What came out of her mouth was no louder than a mosquito’s buzz.

Her tiny whisper was almost completely drowned out by the sound of passing cars.
But by the time it finally reached my ears, I was sure I heard it.

“Enemy of women,” she said.

The morning of the election.

The sky was blanketed by thick, gloomy clouds, and the city was wrapped in a dimness like the moments before dawn.
I’d come to school earlier than usual, walking down the deserted tulip tree-lined path, mentally rehearsing my campaign speech.

so far that's all of the spoilers from the old thread, thanks to TLanon and other anons for the quick translations

these are warm water's losing heroines
say something nice to them

She needs to get over Sosuke first

Not even present to interfere with the confession

Somehow still manages to cockblock Basori

Kneel to the power of Oneitis.

You posted this last thread, it didn't work

"If Basori were to completely capture Nukumizu's heart... It might be a little tough"

"Would you lose?"

"Nah I'd Win."

The game was over before it started. I can't wait for S2.

I still dont understand.
Anna doesnt care about whos the school president. Why support the opposing candidate from the one Nukumizu is supporting and fight so hard over it?

Falling in-love does unexplainable things to a man's brain...

No anna to cockblock this time? Did the author finally decide to dial back on that shit after 8 volumes?

she want threesome with 8k and her CHF not just sex with her CHF. they desire both
yanami is BI slut

She's gonna make it.

Enemy of women.

posting other vol8 images from last thread

I just got back from work and that's literally my first post today. What kind of a retarded schizo are you?

Eraser slut...

To be fair, it could have been someone else other than Anna, but since he’s thinking about what happened while looking at her, it's not likely.

Ok, I believe you.

My manipulative and nigh-sociopathic kouhai cannot possible be this CUTE!

So at the moment I would say Kaju is in first place followed by her pet Anna and we have Basori in third place.

Could Riko have beaten Koto?

Anna

First girl and FeMC, obvious winner, can only lose if the author is going a bit meta and she just keeps friendzoning MC

Lemon

Possible narrative focus winner since she kinda learn her lesson from her previous defeat and is trying to change

Zombie

Dark horse victory, not much focus on her but her scenes feel meaningful to MC

No one else has any chance
Kaju might get a joke/dream ending

spoiler

She's already won, everyone else is just fighting for a seat at the table.

Karen's plan seems to be paying off

Having Minami Tanaka use her Aris voice for Kaju was a genius move.

Kaju Aris.jpg - 1516x2745, 703.93K

Give me Bassori, or give me death!

You'll have your Bassori soon! Now shut it!

looks like this is already way better than volume 7

TIARA LOST THE ELECTION BUT WON THE ERECTION

Reminder that Kaju was right about Rikoshit

BUT WON THE ERECTION

yea, mine

warm water... just say yes to her confession for fuck sakes

Warm Water

Nah water belongs to Lemon, I'm a different guy.

anons, 2 questions
who's that hair-over-the-eyes girl i saw the other day in a waterbowl thread?
how do you call this archettype?

mob-chan, some npc
100 kanojo has the same character design if you're into girls like them

file.png - 340x781, 114.61K

Background character. Mob.chan.

thanks anons, this is top tier design for me

cute woman confesses her love to (You)

reply with "uh ah i mean uhhh"

Lmao

had him by the balls

Nuku being an emotionally stunned retard is an established fact anon. Also there is no way in hell would the author pair him with anyone this early. That's not how harems work if you want to make money.

Uhhh uhhh (Yanami-san flashback) m-maybe we can be friends first.

emotionally stunned retard

He's in love with another girl anon, that's it. Starved for love fags can't understand.

Shit, anna schizo is here to shit up the thread again

pairing him this early would cause full-blown love triangle drama with the main litclub cast, but still i believe amamori will pull off a proper rejection/confession scene in the future

man
wish i can read nip now, buying online LNs is kinda more accessible now compared before

love triangle drama

I don't remember anyone else confessing anon. Are you sure it's not in your head?

I bought the last one and machine-translated it. 10/10.

They still need to milk this for 10 more volumes

where do you buy your stuff?
i usually use bookwalker, their coin rewards is useful

Also Bookwalker.

Not the same guy, but you're literally the retard. He says he was about to say yes, but another figure appeared in his mind. So yes he is interested in someone else. The most likely candidate is Yanami, because when he was thinking that, he was staring at Yanami the entire time.

that's neat, so using MT wouldn't give you are warning or something? was under the impression bookwalker has a drm system

anna is too overpowered
even i was getting annoyed with water's oneitis during his date with lemon
anna needs a real threat, someone that could actually capture water's heart
a childhood friend, if you will

I just brute-forced the whole thing by taking screenshots. There's also a routine in GitHub to do that shit automatically. Then just DeepTL and ChatGPT out of the ass. I can't complain about the result.

huh so that's a thing
will check it out, thanks anon

I'm expecting them to re-use that blonde haired girl from America that Anna conjured up in her cucked up delusions. Takibi did write ep 12 and was supposed to be part of the novels at one point after all.

It's just a thing you do if your Annautism is high enough. Good luck anon.

I wonder if Basori and Shikiya will get into a some soft of conflict over waterman. It already happened with Koto and I expect it to happen again.

He says he was about to say yes, but another figure appeared in his mind

Where does he say this?

I wonder if Basori and Shikiya will get into a some soft of conflict over waterman

maybe this is the reason why shikaya calls waterman "enemy of women"

―When Tiara-san confessed to me on the bridge…

To be honest, I was confused.
Not by the confession itself, but by how unsure I was of my own answer.
And more than anything――at the very moment I was about to say “yes,” a figure flickered through my mind.
Things like what it all means, or how I really feel... I still don’t understand any of it after just one night.
What she meant by her confession, or what she truly felt.
Just how many countless, sleepless nights did Basori spend before deciding to confess to me——?

“It’s almost dark.”

Yanami, who had been gazing out the window for a long time, finally pulled the curtain shut.

“What is it? You've been staring at me this whole time.”

Yanami looked at me silently.
Her expression was a mix of displeasure, resignation… and something else.
An awkward silence filled the air.

Just as I was about to speak, growing impatient—

Yanami suddenly smiled:

“Nukumizu-kun— you really are the enemy of all women, aren’t you?”

wait no i think about it
wasn't zombie the first one to confess (in an autistic way)?

Shikiya-san’s white pupils are gazing at me dazedly.

“Do you want to…go out with me…?”

Her whispers are as sweet as nectar. It’s almost like she’s stroking my neck.

After a short silence, noise rippled throughout the surrounding students.

Being at the epicenter, I first repeated what Shikiya-san said in my mind calmly- and then I frantically shook my head.

“N-No! I won’t dare to do that- I’m saying it would be too arrogant for me to do so!”

“...No?”

“Y-Yes!”

I screamed in a high pitch. Shikiya-san mumbled softly.

“...I see. …I misunderstood…”

Shikiya-san went quiet.

Jesus Christ the confession intensified the oneitis.

Nuku is just really insufferable. I hate reading wishy washy MCs with a passion

really?
if anything all of his actions stems from being an autistic loner in middle school until anna and litclub befriends him

my guess it'll be the last straw to make anna confess

Probably due to the very harem nature of the story overall. He is somehow intelligent enough to weigh in on interpersonal relationships of others but becomes completely retarded when it comes to shit about himself. Why? Because if he wasn't, this wouldn't be yet another harem with a dense MC.

Can you be the childhood friend of a 15-something boy that never had any friends?

No amount of mental gymnastics will save you from being a Doroboneko, Anna.

Accurate representation of a autistic loser like us

I hate reading wishy washy MCs with a passion

This is the first time he's wishiwashi, he No Way Fag'd Shikiya/Lemon.

i think nukkun is actually aware but is hellbent on doubting himself whenever girls shows interest in him (i.e zombie)

Anna still has a long way to go before even remotely deserving to win.

Tiara, calm down

I'm so glad I dropped this series (I'm just here to see the cute LN art)

makes half of the student council fall for him

also amamori already confirms if water didn't join the litclub, he'll end up with nonomura

at the very least makeine's casts is fun to read unlike picrel

file.png - 1123x801, 1.84M

Someone post the raw again

Are you ready to accept the reality of willow trees being blue?

ponytail anna

nice

From the moment she was born she deserved it.

Feels good to see Nukumizu's wife still having him wrapped around her finger.

MTLs translating 目の前をチラついた人影に。as "a figure flickered through my mind"

It can also be translated as "a shadow crossed my mind"

Next sentence is Nukumizu wondering about what it took for Tiara to tell him she liked him

But you totally don't have an agenda in your translations ;^)

Teiara hands wrote this.

Eh, your "agenda" isn't any better, what with your pathetic and desperate shitposting.

The absolute state of Dorobokeks

LMAO

shitposter thinking his tertiary character is completely going to supersede the main girl of the series

no agenda

apupupupupu

Anything that disagrees with my headcanon is shitposting

Meds

Look how fucking smug she is.

You're still coping when even 2ch is saying Nukumizu is interested in someone.

You should take yours then since I'm not even an Annafag.

even 2chan

he thinks gaijin have a better understanding of the story than japs

?????

Replying to obvious shitpost

Careful, you'll get accused of samefagging now because apparently according to this shitposter only one person can be against him and his shitposting.

Anon is seething because the main girl will win in her own show.

Annafag fucking up yet another thread

you guys are seriously bitching about it?
even if im not an annafag, but the fact that nuku is thinking about anna while he's with other girls is already a clue, even i get annoyed when nuku does it too often
i just hope amamori tones it down since he's making it harder if anna's going to compete with other girls

Aww what happened to calling them "Annaschizo" ?

Sorry, didn't know there was an agreed upon call sign for that retard.

amamori tones it down

He literally spends his time jacking off to yanami fanart in between light novels. He’s going to ramp it up

Saying YES right away is beta behavior. You at least need to think about it for a week

Anna's world, Anon Babble is a BLUE board. Deal with it.

Backpedalling after being an obnoxious faggot for the last few threads

Eh, works for me ;^)

He’s going to ramp it up

if that's the case then i hope anna's stops acting like a retard like when she sold out nuku to stuco for a mini-fridge

Black haired girl confesses

Blue bitch will throw a tantrum and do everything in her power to make sure to monopolize MC

Where have i seen this before?

The fuck are you even mumbling about?

Cuck

Ignore the schizo he thinks everyone that doesn't like his blue haired self insert is the same person. He'll start screaming about CSM in a minute

Was a hardcore Annafag until today. Dumb bitch is still being a wish-washy coward even after finding out she has real competition. I want Tiara to be rewarded for her bravery.

Ignore the schizo he thinks everyone that doesn't like his blue haired self insert is the same person.

You were literally crying and shitting last thread accusing multiple different posters about samefagging, what a terrible hypocrite you are.

He'll start screaming about CSM in a minute

Turns out when you act like an insufferable faggot ass shitposter actual posters start speculating where else you've been shitposting.

Stop Basori.

already close to the mc during middle school

has an ex-bf

still clings to mc

i havent watched the anime yet but an anon's description of her from the previous thread makes her sound like a complete whore

Basori's color is also BLUE, anon.

I want Tiara to be rewarded for her bravery.

Anon what series do you think this is? Even if Anna didn't exist it doesn't change the fact that there's other competition and Basori is just a side character.

Don't compare Anna to this actual nutcase whore.

You are literally proving him right. You are replying to multiple people as if all of them are the same. Take your fucking meds now.

Himari has a special place in romcom hell just for her. Don't you dare compare her to anyone in this story.

anon who the fuck are you talking about

I'm not? Why are you conflating different posters? Though quite frankly the timing of your posts is questionable.

eats his lunch (twice)

makes tourists and secondaries seethe

God, Nukumizu is a lucky guy.

I honestly had no idea that Anna had such dedicated shitposters going against her, I kinda stopped paying attention to these threads after the anime ended.

there's always room for love triangle drama in romcoms, just dont make it maruto-tier unless you want a friendship-ruining drama
but in all seriousness, it will change the whole dynamic of the casts
i just don't think it's the right time/volume to do it, it will need some proper setups
hopefully amamori has the balls to do the inevitable drama in future volumes

chance to date a beautiful girl who confessed to you first

refuse to continue simping for a non-committal greedy hoe

DROPPED

It would be funny, if it weren't so pathetic.

He actually isn't, that shcizo guy is same fagging, he did the same last thread. He seethes whenever Yanami is brought up

anna's living rent-free in his head like nukkun

Fuck my sides, didn't think of that angle.

It's the 3DPD spammer. He's still crying because anons BTFO whenever he was ranting and raving about how Nukku wasn't a man and how he can't self insert because it's not how his high school life went.

He's one of the worst MCs in recent memory

you haven't read many romcom LNs

Annaschizo is now replying to himself

Claims to be winning

Fucking kek

He will %100 end up with blue. We are at the milking stage of the story Anyone with half a brain would drop this shit after this volume.

Every fucking time I see Asagumo posted now all I can think about her is seducing Nukumizu and cucking her boyfriend in the heat of the moment, may have to actually generate AI slop or something since I'm trying to save money so I don't wanna commission a piece.

muh first/second girl must always win

You're the reason the romcom genre is so predictable.

Anti-Anna retard once again trying to claim multiple different posters are actually just one poster

Seriously, I want to understand your line of thinking, is everyone who supports Anna just "Annaschizo" to you? even if they all dogpile you at the same time to make samefagging utterly impossible?

Romcom authors are the reason why romcom is predictable, if it were up to me Kaju would be pregnant and the "winning" heroines would leave their lovers to drain Water dry.

Didn't this story start off as something like a deconstruction of the genre? Or did i give too much credit to the author? This is your run of the mill boring harem shit with a designated winner now.

romcom genre is so predictable.

what matters more is that the mc and the main heroine has a pretty good chemistry
otherwise it'll be just infinite stratos or even that purple retard in date a live

file.png - 524x1180, 385.94K

doubting himself whenever girls shows interest in him (i.e zombie)

Things is, this is extremely standard behavior for harem MC. It really makes Nuku's character more frustrating and generic then it should be.

I watched the Makeine anime but somehow I'm now imagining Anna with Aqua's japanese voice when Anna is smug.

Didn't this story start off as something like a deconstruction of the genre?

You'll find plenty of stories start off like this but then just end up doing the same thing.

Nuku IS a generic harem MC for like 4 volumes now. You should have gotten the memo.

my girl isn't winning

now the series is suddenly bad and overblow and should be shit on because I don't like it

wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

at least he has an actual reason since he's an actual autistic retard unlike most harem mc who is your "regular" guy who has no single self-awareness

Such many cases.

You really are insufferable

Waterman's CF will appear and become the fifth option.

prez in vol 9

*sixth option

I would kneel if after all that Basori would still win. But alas it all seems a set up for Anna's eventual victory

Waterman's CF

That's Kaju, your imouto is always your first CF

You really are sourgrapes and need to stop shitposting over developments everyone knew were coming since volume 1

Anna has Kaju's approval. This is the only thing that matters.

If it makes you feel any better Basori will still be the first one to give him a blowjob or something.

My top 3 are Anna, Komari, and Teiara, they partner well with Waterman, if the writer can pull out a good romance with any of them, I'll feel served, and he's good at teenage romance.

my girl isn't winning

nta i'm more of a zombiefag but denying the clues on who is going to win is just waiting for disappointment
but still the banter between anna and waterman is still quite entertaining and the whole cast's interaction is enough for me to read the whole thing

Mob-chan will have her first appearance in the LN in volume 9 and Nonomura will have a greater role in volume 9.

Dark horse victory, not much focus on her but her scenes feel meaningful to MC

this exactly
for some reason, when she and nukkun have a scene together, it feels like the author is planning something for future volumes
the two's chemistry is not exactly better than the other girls, zombie is way too passive for nukkun but it is still cute

file.png - 1920x1080, 3.63M

Still love Anna even when she sold him for a fridge and then betrayed him

This is true love alright.

WATERBOY REJECTS THIS?

He still spirals into a mental depression and can't function like a human any time he thinks of Yanami being truly mad at him like she was at the end of the first volume. If he goes through it again he'll be a permanently comatose vegetable.

He is retarded anon, please understand. We also need to sell 5 more volumes minimum before making the cover girl the winner as usual.

He's in LOVE
L

komaribros
why the fuck is she not making a move?

Thieving cat = doroboneko
Enemy of women= ???
I've seen this phrase before, is it a common term?

Anna will hit a will

Trust the plan.

Don't worry, I'll comfort her, I'll take her to a manga cafe, get her drunk and then have my cafe with her.

That's the most stupid set up possible

女の敵
onna no teki?

I really love the first ending:
youtube.com/watch?v=2czbGCYz6gk
It sounds and looks nostalgic for some reason. I love it when anime style is mixed with real life in an ending. It feels like the anime world and the real world mix or you enter a portal to another world.

It sounds and looks nostalgic for some reason

it's the heisei songs
there's a reason why makeine is dubbed as a heisei romcom

Nuke is stupid, pls understand.

Honestly Anna winning just means the girls I actually like can end up with me.

With this, Tiara is the best out of all of them regardless. At least she is not a coward. She bit the bullet and went for it. Unfortunate thing is that author is not jacking off to her art so she will most certainly end up heart broken in the end.

author is a cuck like akasaka hacka

She deserves better. I hope Nuku rejects her fast instead of leading her on like a bastard so she can move on.

heisei

You mean before 2019?
I get 00s vibes from the ending.
But the show is taking place in the 2020s.

She has warm water by the balls. It's over. She won.

Tiara is the best out of all of them regardless. At least she is not a coward. She bit the bullet and went for it

Komari did the same though (for Prez).

When people say Heisei-era most of the time it is about the change period so the early 90s.

She bit the bullet and went for it

I mean yea that's one way to look at it, impulsive is what I was thinking.

But the show is taking place in the 2020s.

i know but the tropes are from your usual heisei romcom

harem, dense mc, etc.

This whole Volume sounds infuriates me in all fronts if I'm honest. Oh well, it is what it is.

Who were you rooting for? Hina? Sakurai?

For me it just confirms that Takibi went all in on the generic harem aspect which means there is no need to read any further. I will check back on it later on to see the volume arts since they are great.

We need more big eye brow girls in anime

I don't know, currently, I find this whole thing stupid. Maybe with a clearer head I will give a more measured response.

didnt amamori said that vol 8 is where the romance starts?

That's another thing to add to my list of pet peeves.
I expected it, I'm just not content with the result. I honestly would've liked it better had Nukumizu accepted Tiara's confession. This is coming from a Annafag

1st one meant for

Yeah the obvious setup for rejection (and everything that will follow) is really too on the nose and rubs me the wrong way as well.

Warm Water wants to be rejected by the otter multiple times because he loves it

Wait so you would want Nuku to go out with Tiara but then dump her when it's time for the actual winner to win?

This. Basori's confession was courageous and valiant, but came out too late. Nobody has ever recovered from a half-confession, she's out of the bowl big time.

Therr's no other potential winner except Anna.

I guess it would've made for interesting drama, but maybe it would been forced as shit had it happened

Witch + Big Tits = Perfection

Both MC simps for the blue bitch and disregard the girls that's 100% better for them

That aside, Himari is a whore

Himari is a whore

Hey now anon. Whores at least have a use. Himari has absolutely none. Never seen a FMC with a negative character sheet.

I honestly would've liked it better had Nukumizu accepted Tiara's confession

i think it needs more proper setup, nukkun rejecting tiara is way too cliche to the point i think amamori will try at least something different, while i dont know the full content of vol8 but nukkun and tiara needs more heartfelt scenes to justify a proper confession

Independent of that the ending stills rubs me the wrong way. At least that is my 1st impressions of the leaks

So did he reject her or what? What happens after the confession???

I see those runes. Thanks anon

Basori takes him on a nice boat ride.

Himari can be formed into a propery housewife. The mc just have to become more alpha. He needs to treat her a bit like her big brother does.
I think Rion is also insidious.

She got something worse than a rejection: the friendzone.

First he impregnates Anna. Then some specific girl kills him. Then Tiara kills that girl.

both become proper friends but tiara is waiting for nukkun's reply in the future

I did want warm water to get together with basori but I think it makes sense for him to reject her, they don't know eachother too well and basori has been rushing things since she gifted him a scarf.
...and being realistic, worst girl is portrayed as the main girl of the series so it's obvious that she will end up winning, at this point i just hope we get more fun drama before that happens

starts out writing a deconstruction/parody of harem romcom tropes

ends up becoming what it parodied

Too many such fucking cases. What is wrong with the Japanese and their lack of creativity?

Nukkun just needed to say "yes". It was that easy. That's how the series would have avoided this outcome. It's too late now.

10.jpg - 855x609, 47.09K

I also think that the dude that wrote the translations for Skythewood wrote a better set up and climax for his fanfic, independent of the more fantastic elements

Loser flag, unironically. Postponed replies to confessions never end in a positive note.

i think when it comes to the "main heroine winning mc in an LN ending", Saekano handled it pretty good
i only worry about how amamori will handle the drama part once Nukkun gets serious

harem romcom MC is a huge faggot and an absolute retard

More at 11.

I always think about Saikano the weird early 00s romantic drama that ends with every human being except for the mc dying in the last episode and him being the last human alive when someone mentions Saekano.

Kek, you're right. The shitposters are crawling out of their hole.

i know how much you hate your regular romcom harem but realistically the whole thing will end at 1 or 4 volumes if you just want anna to win and where's the fun in that?

Nobody likes Anna because she behaves like an IRL cunt. "Annafags" are shitposters and contrarians.

Nobody likes Anna because she behaves like an IRL cunt. "Annafags" are shitposters and contrarians.

post the poll.

Nukkun just needed to say "yes"

Or no. Anything other than this "the answer will be given on a later date (and will be a no)" shit. It's such a harem cliché that it entirely sours my joy to read.

IRL cunt

if she's an irl 3dpd she wouldnt hang out with nukumizu

And she didn't for a while. She ghosted him for a time.

Matter of fact, i want no one to win if you can believe that. Since the start, i wanted Nuku to have his own romance outside of his immediate circle and apply the lessons he has learned from them and their failures. So no one can become double losers.

Basori is part of warm water's original harem. It stands to reason she loses. It sours my experience an interloper from a meta standpoint is stealing the bowl, though.

If you're talking about Volume this was after, he tried to cut her off due to his insecurities whilst she was asking is she had done anything to annoy him or to at least continue having bentos with him even if she was no longer indebted to him

Volume 1*

No one believes anyone other than Anna gonna win. This volume also cements that. We are just not as obnoxious as that spammer retard whenever someone shit talks blue.

Well Makeine always had some reverence towards the romcoms it made fun of, but this does sour me on the whole thing

nukkun answering yes would cause immediate changes in the dynamics of the casts, saying no let's the whole thing go back to the status quo
i'm giving amamori the benefit of doubt, delaying nukkun's reply to the confession gives him the chance to let the characters relationship shines or even brew some drama if done right

honestly i hope the other remaining girls dont get dragged into becoming nukkun's harem fodder and they stay as just good friends, but chances are pretty low

Yup my thoughts exactly

Kaju needs to steal this shit. It's unsalvageable otherwise.

I mean that's a one way to make your MC who has been somehow keeping the balance and distance (deservedly) hated in an instant.

NUMBAH WAN!

When will they learn?

Problem of not saying no is the act of pretending like there is a chance of saying "yes". There isn't one. So him straight up saying no and things going back to status quo is not necessarily a bad thing.

vol 8 pretty much declares who will be competing for nukkun
also

gon has tachibana

riko is the typical flirty kouhai

hibana is 50/50 but i assume her arc will be reserve for sakurai

there might be the hidden CF in the future but it's reserved for anna and nukkun's arc

worst girl is portrayed as the main girl

But Komari isn't the mascot?

The ones shitposting are literally the ones whining about Annafags though?

There isn't one

thats why i said im giving amamori the benefit of the doubt, the correct thing to do after this volume is poperly setting up the drama for the main cast, otherwise if nukkun would just say no, then what's the point of vol8? back to the status quo
anna would still tease nukkun and wouldnt make a move

there might be the hidden CF in the future but it's reserved for anna and nukkun's arc

I want her to make Anna think of herself as a doroboneko.

What's with all the sudden doomposting when the outcome was obviously telegraphed from the start?

seeThey were never fans of the series.

I guess I am not convinced of the telegraphing, even though I am its primary target.

psp

lmao

Jap banter sugoi

im more bothered when anons calls it a "deconstruction" and complains when a romcom harem decides to add romcom harem tropes and cliches

That's my problem. Her confession is and obvious setup up as a "wake up call" for Anna. Like hundred other harems have done before it, it uses the harem members as a fodder for the designated winner to take action. It's worse than status quo because lets be honest, status quo is just waiting for Anna to make a move anyway. Author just showed his hand that its no better than its predecessors.

Well it wasn't TOO apparent until this volume. It is now.

I love this edit so much I begin to think that Asagumo really introduced herself as Takagi-san.

ASAGUMO A CUTE! A CUTE!

Amamori and Yamamoto are buds after all.

"Asagumo" is just the chained persona of Takagi, who isn't allowed to engage in too much teasing if the chains are broken she would win the waterbowl.

Cool

Author just showed his hand that its no better than its predecessors.

to be fair, i dont think the author is trying to innovate the genre
one of his reasons in making this LN is because his blue haired waifu lost

That means she is a whore who left Nishikata for Ayano and is now teasing Water-kun?

one of his reasons in making this LN is because his blue haired waifu lost

First time hearing this. Where?

They look like a married couple with their autistic child

so bottomline is that you just dont like the harem romcom tropes/cliche?

But Anna has no similarities with Ichigo. She is more like Boku no Kokoro's Anna fused with Aqua.

Nukkun's and Anna's first child will look exactly like Asagumo which will confuse the entire cast.

Well, that was during the first draft of the novel with Iroha Yanami, she used to be an honour student, dilligent and what not, before she was changed into the one we know currently

plot twist Asagumo is actually their daughter from the future
Her teasing Nukkun is a Chibiusa thing.

I don't. I went in to this thinking it would somehow break out of the mold since first volumes are pretty entertaining with absolutely no romance involving Nuku. Now it went balls deep into harem shitshow territory (well it was already on its way but still)

where did you get this from? what interview? sounds like a fun read

Any pictures of Iroha's design?
Iroha is also the name of the third girl from Oregairu.

Nah, it's still top tier kino. Only shitposters disagree.

well different strokes i guess
personally i'm more engaged with the casts interactions and their bantz

Saying that while using that image doesn't do you any favors. Shipper fags deserve the rope

Postponed replies to confessions never end in a positive note.

Love Hina, though.

Whining about Yanami in marketing material only makes you seem upset. I only used that image because the official account posted it. Stop being sour grapes.

no romance involving Nuku

i disagree, there's already tension between anna even in vol 1
and you're lying if you don't see romance developing between the two sooner or later

best girl loses

worst girl is lined up to have the win served in a silver platter

Imagine seething over the oldest trope in nip romcom.

How would Nukkun handle Shinka and Dekomori?

Shipper fags

nigger what?
we're discussing a romcom harem not a chuuni battle harem

I should really stop reading shounen romcoms

He was rooting for Ichigo on Darling in the FranXX.

shounen romcoms are for shitposting and fapping to the girls

best girl loses

But Kaju is right here?

122057600_p0.jpg - 800x600, 180.39K

naughtier Kaju

We were robbed.

don't that shounen battleslop for braindead underage anons.

rooting for ichigo

...and all of my respect towards Amamori has gone down the drain. Dropped.

Kaju is just fine the way she is now

That explains a lot actually. Can't expect anything less from a shipper that delusional.

He thinks she's cute and fun to talk to, still hesitates

He deserves whatever happens to him

Makeine's troll ending. Kaji and her oni-sama become a couple and have sex with each other.

McCain!?

John McCain.jpg - 1280x721, 89.48K

And Koto IMMEDIATELY saw the danger signs and secured her man. Meanwhile, Anna's still pulling her usual vague "That's why I don't like this part of you, Nukumizu-kun" crap right after the confession. She has no sense of urgency since author needs to milk this series dry.

Good, it's making him a lot of money. That's the right choice.

I think Vol.9 will make or break MakeIne.

I honestly would've liked it better had Nukumizu accepted Tiara's confession. This is coming from a Annafag

Same here. As a waifufag, you need a certain level of maturity to be capable of disassociating your ship's victory with what's good for the story.

I mean shounen romcom is for lonely desparate anons. Which is not any better.

I think this one already did.

Incorrect, but okay bud.

That's like one in a billion stance. Shipper wars are frowned upon for a reason because its so common and retarded.

Nah, Basori's confession was inevitable. The fallout of it, it's the interesting part.

I don't think that no one here, expected Nukumizu to accept (same guy that confessed to someone that he wanted to be his friend).

keep doomposting

What if Nukkin accepted Basori's confession but Basori became an insane yandere right afterwards?

Anna has more chances to go Yandere out of all the MakeInes, after that, is Lemon.

Romcoms of all shapes and stripes are leagues better than action garbage. Autistic wizards already had the final word on this ages ago.

out of character

apparently some anon in this thread doesn't like your typical romcom harem progression and straight up ignores character arcs

Personally, I think it's not too uncommon but you'd have to be both a veteran of the genre and of a certain age. And of those, most are either done with anime or aren't likely to discuss it online anymore.

shipping wars is fun if you never take it seriously as you normally would

After this series ends and Yanami inevitably wins, one butthurt fan will, just as Takibi once did, channel his rage into inspiration for writing a successful romcom series where the main girl is based on the makeine he was rooting for, thus perpetuating the cycle

The cycle of the losing heroine begins a new

Like pottery

And then the main girl will have an entirely different personality when the romcom is flashed out.

10 years down the line, Basori will finally get the love she deserves

Reminder: When Nukumizu and Lemon was on a date in Volume 6 he kept thinking about Anna in between.

In Volume 8, when Tiara and Nukumizu was alone, he just kept thinking about how cute Tiara was.

What did Takibi mean by this?

Anna's coy behaviour was cute at first, but became childish in retrospect once another girl finally grew some balls and cut the bullshit. If she's still acting the same way in volume 9, there's no hope left.

Yup

So this is just a fanfic of a waifufag. Pathetic really.

All romance literature is like that, though.

you forgot your smug animegirl pic, anon

Oh no, you've really bested Amamori sensei!

i think i've never seen this fanbase as divided as it is right now lol, i suppose all that's left to do is wait for whatever happens in vol 9

Is it like this in any other discussion forums?

Remon-chan…

most of the reactions i've seen are from here, but i saw some similar ones in zucc's website

KEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK BASSORIGGERS IN SHAMBLES

Not to worried about offsite irrelevance other than 2chan.

This is what happens when something shakes the status quo:

Things remain the same

So what was the point of this happening?

Things change

I don't like this change, take me back.

Get used to it.

BASORIFAGS ALREADY HAVING A MELTDOWN

i saw some similar ones in zucc's website

It's funny to know that we're not so dissimilar.

zombie is infinitely cuter than basori it's not even funny

It's just mere curiosity

crying about hachiman

normalfags were a mistake.

I don't know why I even posted that. I'm sorry anon, I was a little cranky.

I wasn't offended, so do not worry about it

Gets the chance to lay some water pipe

fucks it up

Nukimisu, why?

He could've had been granted complete access to fondle these soft, supple thighs

He could've had a first-hand account on how warm the moisture flows from her glistening lower body to the hands he's using to gently caress her

He could've had been given free reign to split these luscious legs apart and make love to this woman every night, while she moans your name to the heavens

Is it physically possible to be gay enough to reject this?

Because he has higher standards.

Nah he just has better taste. Yanami is thicker and is not flat.

She’s just a generic cute and nice girl.

Lemonbros… it’s like she stopped mattering two volumes ago.

Why is waterman like this?
He needs rape correction by Kaju.

I hope Asagumo scolds Waterman for being the enemy of women.

she's pretty ugly

He can't approve of a girlfriend if Kaju doesn't give her approval about that girl.

It probably turns her on more knowing that he’s toying with so many of them

Nukkun prefers long haired girls

She's gonna have to rape him, no way around it

how is that any different

Just ignore the schizo

Why would he say yes? Parody or not, the story makes it abundantly clear that he has liked Anna since volume 1. So why would he accept her confession?

i tried but that genuinely confused me

Gold in hand is better than diamond in the bush.

"watch over me, nukkun"

disappears from the series

Great move Lemon, whats next?

warm water refused this

Pure, undiluted faggotry.

Killing Water by draining him dry when she said watch over me she meant from heaven

He's saving himself for Kaju

He doesn't have to save himself for Kaju when she's already stealing his precious thing every night.

She rides him every night, that's why he's thirsty for water at school.

Also why Nukumizu is drug tolerant as proven by the slut nurse

I wish Kaju was my sister...

Would Basori be good at sex?

im late, do we have the full novel translation out or just the confession?

Yes

how do you think she bought all those votes

The quiet ones always are.

Gets confessed at

The next scene he's already with Yanami and staring at her

Probably even thought about her the moment of the confession

Heh.

Feels so good being a BasoriCHAD.

end of the series

nukumizu finally comes to terms with his feelings

declares to yanami

"i'm sorry, sosuke and karen split up and now we're dating, i should have told you"

Confesses first

Gets hit with the hesitation and the let's be friends line

This seems familiar.

Hina box.jpg - 736x736, 60.5K

did he deserve this?

couNTRy.jpg - 840x960, 118.15K

Demon in the sack. The kind that ruins you for other women.

She’s not quiet at all, you’re not even reading the series

Ninibros...

I'm pretty sure it was Nukumizu who said that line.

"What's wrong? Why are you staring at me?"

Yanami stared at me silently.

Her expression was mixed with displeasure, helplessness, and some other emotions.

Awkward silence.

I was about to speak impatiently, but >Yanami suddenly smiled:

"You really are the enemy of women, Nukumizu-kun."

It was Yanami who was staring at Nukumizu, stop gaslighting us Annaschizos.

Yanami was looking outside the window

“It’s almost dark.”

Yanami, who had been gazing out the window for a long time, finally pulled the curtain shut.

“What is it? You've been staring at me this whole time.”

Confession scene, Nukumizu thinking about how cute Tiara is, how it's fun being with her and how it'd be fun if they dated

Nukumizu said that he needs some time to think about it, Tiara agreed that she confessed too early and offered to be friends first with the intent of dating later

Epilogue shows Nukumizu still affected by Tiara's confession with him being heavily sleep deprived

Does anon know? Or did the agenda heavily corrupted anon from differentiating facts from headcanons?

Damn, this reminds me of Kazuhiko's friendship confession to Yanami. Except it's more cliche

Poor Tiara chan... ganbatte.

Epilogue shows Nukumizu still affected by Tiara's confession with him being heavily sleep deprived

Revealed that he thought about someone else the moment he got confessed at

What do you mean sleep deprived the epilogue scene happened on the same day. The sleep deprived line is him thinking about how much Basori gave her confession some thought. Are Basorikeks as dumb as their girl?

I found Karen.

Angel_White.jpg - 602x812, 133.14K

Nobody is born being good at sex, but a hunch tells me she would become megakinky real fast.

It's a nice parallel but he's on the receiving end this time. I am expecting vol 9,10, and 11 to be Yanami, Lemon, then Komari's volumes respectively. Shiratama will get one at one point but Zombie's arc might be saved for when we'r close to graduation.

Waiting for me at the end of my hesitation was Tiara-san's smile. It was too dazzling for me to bear.

Dazzling

That's the trait of a winning heroine...

We are still in the game, fellow BasoriCHADs!

He also thought Lemon was cute during their date and in both cases he thought of Anna at the worst possible moment.

seeing kaanaa there makes me irrationally angry

It was more of a joke on the JP side of things. They kept telling her to go to Toyohashi during the run of the anime. I got that image from 2ch.

But Karen supports Nuku x Anna.

I just want Komari to be happy, man

She can be happy with the current status quo as Kaju's toy that she messes with.

Saekano is unironically too realist for being a romcom LN. It always felt like all other girls were archetypes and Megumi was the only "real" normal girl.

She'd ensure he never cheats by riding him dry every night. Thighs like those only belong on intimately powerful women.

Remon will win the Nukubowl

You get one mandatory fanservice shot per volume if it isn't focused on you. Now go back to growing your hair.

ETA until she gets to have some screentime again?

When will Kaju make Komari cute? Being a fujo and a womanlet is a bad combo.

That looks like Tiara is losing it.

Tiara is a makeine now.
How many volumes left before the end?

Tiara is a makeine now.

But this time its directly from Nukumizu-kun and not some other boy that the girl gets rejected from.

Does that mean she doesn't get to fight in the waterbowl now? Plenty of girls just go for it anyway after they are rejected and they never win.

"Tiara-chan!"

"Haiii!!"

"Nani ga suki?"

"Nukumizu— Yori mo anata~!"

oh, is the full translation out already?

Zombiebros I don’t feel so good…
