>>291894036Damn, Hizumi's legs
>>291893949>Heavy rain>Even god wants Rikka to fail
I probably won't be there to dump next week. I'll do my best and try to get the updates out on time still, but I might be a bit late for that too, I'm not sure yet. Sorry in advance
>>291894036Time for Iko piggy back, so she can see!
>>291894340And in typical shonen manga fashion, Hizumi got a sympathetic backstory that is supposed to make us feel bad for her and justify her twisted world views/provide excuses for her bad actions.
>Hizumi chapter being the highlight of rikka arcRikkabros...
>>291894411Thank you, OP
>>291894243>Cute Hizumi smileMah heart
>>291894411Thx for the dump
>>291894260>hizumi… is like rikka…yeah no
>>291894281>>291894314Wow, what a little cunt. I hope they find this kid later, and beat the shit out of him.
>>291894468???Hizumi is too much of a bitch for anyone to care. It's not a highlight of anything. I get you hate Rikka but Hizumi is 80 percent of why Rikka arcs are so fucking bad.
>>291894340>>291894434Having a bad past doesn’t absolve you from being a shitty bitch. Someone should pass the memo to nip authors already.
Guess, Bucky will play the drums next chapter.
>>291894586I care. And she's what make Rikka arcs great. And this chapter elevated her even more.
>>291894468Nope. This chapter highlights yet again why Rikka arcs are bad: Hizumi is a black void and hogs all the screentime, thus cucking Rikka out from her much needed interactions with Bucky.
>>291894411It's okay OP, if you don't show up, i'll cover youJust as Bucky is either cover the girls as a semi-drummer or show up with a replacement
>>291893949Melontunas my beloved!
>>291893949Shinobu the rain shaman!
>>291894314Friendship is what inspired Rikka and Hizumi to take music seriously as a career. They were both running away from being hurt, but in turn together they can overcome their past failures.
>>291894787Awesome. Can I have sex with them once they're done?
>>291894340>>291894434>>291894622It was to be expected yet i agree with you, no way i'm sympathizing with the blonde bitch after how many chapter of that gag.I'd have been okay with the flashback right until the appearance of the first friend, the context is welcome and helps to see that even she's internally hating the situation. But the ensuing melodrama kinda ruined the flashback for me
>>291894144Sexo thighs and desperation. My favorite combination.
>>291894218>ah, another fulfilling day!
>>291893949mayotuna, my beloved
>>291893992holy SEX
>>291894052extremely necessary angle
>>291894281Would have been fun if the other band was Rikka's and this was her old friend.
>>291894144despair (but also an erection)
>>291894243>faceless outgoing guyOH NO NOT HIM!
>>291894411Learning to be a pro-drummer in a few minutes is a matter of course for a Yamabuki. Bucky will save them and Hizumi will offer sex to repay him.
>>291894314nyo...
>>291893973I liked the little bits of Shinobu in the Rikka chapter.
>>291894340;_;that's it, i love hizumi now
>side character flashbacklmao yeah, Igarashi has fucking gone mad if he's going to do something this stupid.
>>291894052>Rikka's song is lastIs that good or bad? I don't go to concerts.
>>291894411so uhhh... what does "asterism" mean?
>>291895177>An asterism is an observed pattern or group of stars in the sky. Asterisms can be any identified star pattern, and therefore are a more general concept than the 88 formally defined constellations.
hizumi having this stupid flashback is so corny, why is Igarashi shifting the spotlight to this bitch?
Hizumi was already in a successful band and Igarashi had to make it fail so Rikka could get a chance. What a hack.
>>291894656You are the only person in this thread that thinks that.
>>291895238Probably to set up a stupid "we're not so different after all" moment between Rikka and Hizumi.
>no lemonpass
Rikka is apollo and redhearing butShinocute is igarashi's pet and winner
I AM MADLY IN LOVE WITH IKO....!!!!!!!!!!
>>291895270Hizumi was in a good band. She just dumped them.
I want to be Hizumi's friend
>>291894218I want to see the rest of the flashback,all the enkou she engaged with to survive and buy equipment these years.
>>291895481...and break with her when I find a better friend.
>>291895238we love hizumi here
Hizmui's best girl
>>291895802That's news to me.
>>291894281Is this NTR?
>rikka arc>somehow shinobu and side characters are featured more.HAHAHAHAHAHA OH HAHAHAHAHAHA I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING.
>>291894468Hizumi is literally the worst part of this arc.
>>291895935says who
How do you guys feel about how this manga is doing? Are you still passionate about it, or is your interest waning?
>>291896136The Toubun storytime is making me realize how sovlless mayotuna is in comparison.
>>291896136I sense that people haven't dropped this yet, but they've stopped engaging with it.
>>291896136Story is kinda rough when there's barely any progress and it's kinda hard to keep up with it. I think it's better to just leave it alone and come back to it later when there's like 20 new chapters.
>>291895303>the only personhttps://youtu.be/riGm5Xevkoo?si=H93uMWNHQfFqPcaR
>>291896136Even on Reddit, the interaction with this manga has decreased a lot. They don't say it explicitly, but I think some are getting tired of it, including me. I just want it to end already.
>>291896807Go back
>>291896246Both are equally dogshit.
>>291896246>storytimespeaking of soulless.
>>291896136Well, the reality is that this manga isn't the hottest and newest kid on the block anymore. It's more than three years old now, and in that time frame, newer and better romcoms have turned up while this one has turned into the same meandering harem formula everyone has seen a million times already. I'm mostly still reading because of sunk cost, but it's a lot harder to stay invested now.
>>291896136I am, anytime it's not Rikka chapter. I'm sure Shinobu backstory arc will break the internet.
>>291895147I would think a crowd pleaser, a song meant to be the big burst of energy that ends it, or the song that ties the other ones together would be the last one. As s it looks like hizumi trusts rikka's skill enough to make her the one everyone leaves the Concert on (but she's tsun tsun so she won't tell her), which doesn't sound like her
Remember how good we had it, few months ago?
>>291896136Its time to enter the final arc
I'm gonna need more Nenes than this if I'm to survive.
>>291897421
>>291893973crocodile tears
Requesting Shinobu crushing my head between her thighs.
>>291897487One squeeze away from blis.
>Struggling to reach 100 postsWhat the hell happened
>>291897606Rikka arc.
>>291897606Rikka arc, and it's also a backstory chapter for a character no one here gives a shit about.
>>291897678Hizumi is Apollo
Iko, after marrying Arisu
100 post for Rikk... What's that? Its Iko with a steel chair!
Man we really do hate Rikka huh.
>>2918976064chan is dead/a/ is deaderPut threads are deadest
>>291894281wtf this is ntrso will the twist be that this friend thinks he's holding Hizumi back so he wants Hizumi be free of him?
nene will avenge nini
>When it's your arc, but second and third rate characters are more interesting than you
>>291897296I can't believe Nene fucking died during that arc!
Rikka arcs are going to kill the manga
>>291901520Makes me wonder how she can be the second most popular girl. Honestly it should be Iko -> Shinobu -> Rikka -> Nene
>>291896136I rather read Romance with romance rather than authors who can't write it and can just do comedy but still try to bait readers.Their time has passed, there is actual romance I can find, I don't need their slop.
>>291900129She's fine, you just need to clean her up a little...
>>291901923...and then dry her in the sun...
>>291901956...and voilà, she's like new, undamaged goods!
>>291900129He's coping a feel
>>291897421We've been in a serious draught of Nene content. We need her to rain over everything!
>>291898978He just didn't want to fuck the bassist.
>>291900129She's been dead for longer than that
Are we there yet?
>>291894805A cute snek though.
>>291894411So last chapter was Arisu on the phone with a drummer? Or some producer who can procure a drummer on short notice?
>>291902258Fuck yeah, let's do it.
>>291894243Is this a boy or a girl? In the middle panel here >>291894281 seems to be wearing a skirt.
Nene might be superfluous in terms of the story, but my God is she absolutely crucial to my morale.
>Things that will never happen to you, #523 - Nene trying to kill you with her pussy
guys... this was a hizumi chapter...
>>291902776She'd use the same technique to keep you from pulling out.
Fat fatty fat fat cow.
Since nothing's happening, I'm going to bed. Have fun guys.
Comments on the official raws are dropping off.Meanwhile Shinobu and Iko can maintain sustained interest during their arcs.
>>291893956>Performing at notShelter >Show is ruined by the weather A bit on the nose Igarashi.
>>291896002Me, the president of this thread.
>>291898978That was literally what rikka's friend did, so if it turns out that way then we're retreading old info
Man, the thread is so slow today, holy shit. Rikka is already boring enough, and if you add the Hizumi debuff to that, you've got the perfect recipe for a dead and shitty thread.
>>291898900This, people are getting old and didn't have enough kids to replace us If the world wasn't so shitty realistically you would have 2 more generations shitposting here
>>291902733i will keep holding onto thismanga for her
>>291904087>notShelterWhat is that?
>>291894281What if he was lying to her because he felt guilty about holding her back?
>>291906299>what if [obvious forthcoming plot development]?You are now qualified to write manga for WSM.
I love super smug Nene.
>>291906283Livehouse in Shimokita
>>291894123>struggling to get the “timing” right they are still “green”
>>291894260The most unrealistic part is believing that a bassist is going to stand out in any way.
>>291897296unreal
>>291906640What do you mean?
>>291902480Looks like a skirt to me.
Watch me nene
>>291907605
>>291902028Wouldn't you?
>>291908228I'm not that strong. If I tried that her butt would be on my face
>>291906967
>>291896840>>291896927Hating on things doesn’t make you cool or interesting, you know?
>>291897296would piledrive in both holes until she cries/10
>>291908384Sounds lovely.
I rather get a backstory for the idol slut.
>>291908653>I bet you're here to prey on us. Yes, what are you going to do about it?
>>291908713
>>291908653Definitely, yep. Sorry, but you are too hot.
I re-read the manga over the past few days, here are my thoughts:>originally thought Apollo was either Shinobu or Rikka, as Iko and Nene were too possessive/outspoken to let 3 other women get close to the guy Apollo has loved for over three years suddenly turning up>further clues point towards Shinobu>Arisu himself almost accuses both Rikka and Nene of being Apollo but stops short>more clues HEAVILY point towards Iko>another clue points back towards Shinobu>it's revealed Arisu is not the only person listening to Apollo's recent broadcasts (at least the christmas one)>in a flashback to the four girls first meeting, Iko says she's nervous meeting them 'face to face for the first time'>Nene is best girlHonestly, I've got no fucking idea at this point. The clues point towards Shinobu and Iko the most, but there's clearly some fuckery going on as none of them have questioned Arisu on who the fuck Apollo is, probably because they all know who it is or some shit.My crackpot theory is the real Apollo died and the four girls + Arisu were the only listeners, and when he turned up again they all decided to pretend to be Apollo (not sure how they get access to Apollo's broadcasting account but there would likely be an explanation). Give me your theories anons, I'm invested in this mystery now.
>>291908974My biggest issue with your crackpot theory is that it'd be kinda screwed up for the four of them to do that to Bucky. But I think it's fair to say that Shinbou, Rikka, and Iko all have equal chances at this juncture.
>>291909088>it'd be kinda screwed up for the four of them to do that to BuckyYou're right, but there's clearly something going on about 'Apollo' that they are all hiding from him. I think it's clear they are working together to keep him in the dark (literally in the case of that christmas present switching).
>apollo diedlol lmao even
>>291909180Yeah, I'd say at least one girl (Shinobu?) is working with Apollo. It would further explain her desperation.
The art style's changed such that Nene looks younger in the early days of the manga.
>>291908974Can you imagine how horrible and unsympathetic it would make the heroines look if all four of them were actively colluding to deceive Arisu into thinking thr first girl he ever loved is alive when she is, in fact, fucking dead? They would all be awful for agreeing to that. Pretty much everything else you said is obvious/reasonable. Except for the story pointing towards Shinobu. We have lithium pills for that, though.
>>291908974I agree Nene is best girl. I think 3 are listeners and know who Apollo is and somehow got Apollo to play fair with them. Still doesn't matter because Apollo is going to fucking win no matter what.
>>291910436I don't think Shinobu is working with Apollo. I think she's actively hiding the fact that she knows who Apollo is. Namely, Iko.
>>291910556I done think they are colluding. Nene didn't have any reason to since she didn't love him at first.
>>291910595It wouldn't make her come across as any less horrible if she was a former Apollo listener and is somehow privy to the fact that Apollo is dead. She and Iko are also terrible fucking liars and would certainly not be able to keep a lid on that. Especially Iko.
Which girl killed Apollo?
>>291910627Lemon. She drinks to cope with the trauma.
>>291910627Nene, as the biggest tuna, ate Apollo. The rest of the girls are too scared to say anything.
>>291910890I know it would be wrong to rape Nene. But I'd still very much like to rape Nene.
>>291911146Please don't rape the Nene.
Question, how is Rikka doing a contract gig, as an underage student, without her parents supervising or any involvement whatsoever?
>>291911730Her producer is Arisu Yamabuki, young heir to the Yamabuki Zaibatsu. A Yamabuki has no need for such frivolities as "parental oversight" or "child labor laws". Yamabukis are above these things, you see.
>>291911882Future Emperor of Japan Yamabuki
>>291895177>asterismit's also a rock band that has just a drummer, guitarist and bassist https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asterism_(band)
>>291911210she shouldn't be so rapeable then
>>291906718In the right music genre, they do
>>291894660Rikka somehow gets her chapters soiled by Hizumi and still ends up with some of the most girlfriend-coded interactions out of the four. I really don't get why this is the way her story played out (so far), it's so fucking jank.
>>291908974Jesus Christ dude, that's grim. Would be kino but ain't no way that's the route it's going, it would make the girls seem awful for keeping up the lie for this long.
>>291910436Shinobu's desperation is pretty clearly explained in the text itself; she's the only one who has no real step towards her dream other than the slow process of getting her credentials for it while the other 3 have big dramatic steps they need to take now. She feels like she's going to get left behind while Bucky is too busy helping them with their difficulty situations while she just studies and at most attends speech classes. Hence the lovers straddle she pulled a few chapters ago.
Nene kick!
>>291916035*licks Nenefoot*
Last one for duality of a woman.
Actual last post for the actual best girls.
>>291912505>implying these hack fuck JK's could possibly make a song as good as Unravel
>>291916937Facts.
Arisu obviously has more chemistry with Slutnobu.
>>291920952About even with Rikka, power gap ahead of the other two.
>>291920952>>291921066Iko has the best chemistry
>>291920952Meds.
They all have enough chemistry with Bucky to marry and be happy.
>>291920952>They have more chemistry, is when I enjoy seeing them together, or something like that.
Who cares? Bucky is used goods after what Lemon did to him.
>>291921624
>>291913996>jankThis whole manga is jank, anon. Especially the Christmas arc.
Sex with you're wife
Doing the best to remove shipping goggles, which girl does Bucky actually get along with the best?
>>291922162Stop flirting with me, Nene!
>>291922314Counter-argument
>>291922941
>>291922765Definitely not Nene. He simply tolerates her presence.
>>291922765Iko. There's something natural about their interactions, where they can be togheter without flirting all the time.
>>291922941>>291922955Even when my daughter dresses like a slutty reindeer, she's still the cutest girl in the room. She may not be as sexo as Nene, but god damn it she's mine.
nenebros...
>>291922765Probably Shinobu or Iko, Rikka has really good one sided chemistry, Nene has about what you'd expect from a mostly by the books tsundere
Everyone asleep?Last one for best girl then.
actual last one for nn
>>291922765Probably Iko.
>>291922941>>291922955The way this author draws legs does obscene things to my penis
>>291923007That's because Iko feels comfortable around Arisu. She always has, from the start of the manga, despite it being totally contrary to her character. Which makes sense with you consider that she already knew him long before meeting him in person.
It's kind of telling that when it's a Rikka arc, people would rather talk about other girls instead.
>>291926778First time seeing a Rikka thread?
Nene's delicious sweat.
>>291927920Using Nene's sweat as lubricant for thighzuri before violent anal.
>>291927920
>>291928161Nebulizing Nene's sweat!
Goodnight Nene
last for rikka!
>>291897678If Hizumi was a harem candidate it would’ve saved this arc
>>291910595Or she could be in denial since she’s a tsundere
>>291931873It's kind of funny how frequently people overlook Nene being tsun as fuck and also hating men with they try to discount her possibly being Apollo. Those things could very easily used to explain her behavior early on in the manga while still having her work as Apollo, in fact.
>>291903966Damn, interest has really dropped off.
>>291932564Seems that even the nips see Rikka as either a red herring, or so obviously Apollo that it's completely unsatisfying. This arc is also just fucking boring and they don't rock with it. I could see Rikka dropping from second place in the next poll tbdesu.
>>291932716Eh still better than nene's reader numbers
>>291932852Show them
>>291898343No one cares about a side character like Iko. Rikka is the main heroine.
>>291933918According to the polls, that pathetic VTuber is the most popular one by far.
>>291933941We;ve been over this, about why the poll is unreliable.
>>291894434Having a twisted upbringing usually results in twisted individuals.
Since the thread is still up, I'll post another Nene.
>>291931757She'll be after Bucky saves their concert.
>>291935420Based.
nene is eternal
>>291925985Yup, the best thing about this manga.
>>291932852>>291933405Still waiting.
>>291933977Keep seething.
>>291938470Rikka is just way too hot
>>291939547She should drink some cold water then.
>>291938527About what? No one cares about a biased poll.
Iko mouth is covered, because she's Apollo.
Why do some people still care about the shitty Apollo mystery and who the winner will be? The last time this shitty manga touched on the main plot was ages ago. Now it’s just the girls whoring themselves out and acting all moe.
>>291933405>>291938502
>>291939819because their whole online identity hinges on being correct about their "prediction." It's just regular waifu war shit.
>>291940465Thank you, appreciated.
>>291940465>Nene pool chapter second least talked aboutBunch of faggots
>>291940292Is Rikka dressing like a slut now? She looks like she's straight up about to create OF content.
>>291940688That's an outdated post.
>>291940555I don't think anyones identity revolves around any part of this manga.
>>291940707Dressing up the girls like sluts is the only way for this manga to attract any attention now, and Igarashi knows it.
ねね
>>291940856MY QUEEN, FORGIVE ME FOR EVER DOUBTING
>>291940919Well, it's not working, I see the interest in this manga plummeting from various sides, this manga is slowly going to shit.
>>291932051She’s also the one who kissed him the most in the beginning yet people will believe that she just happened to love him later on? She also teases him the most out of all the girls and guess what Apollo enjoys doing to him
>>291911957>Do you know how much power I'd have to give up to be Enperor
I want to smell ねね's pits.
>thread still barely alive two days later>literally no one talking about RikkaNever. Not. Hilarious.
Is it bad that I want to motorboat Nene's breasts?
>>291941261
Let's see Nene's butt.
>>291941001>this manga is slowly going to shit.I think this manga has always been just kind of mediocre, despite the glazing it received early on. Interest plummeting is kind of inevitable, since it's been three years already and the manga is just doing everything it can to avoid any meaningful progress on the romance and the mystery. And in those three years, newer and more interesting romcoms have popped up, so people just flocked to those instead.
Unironically, how much steam does this series have left? Seems like interest is starting to waver, not sure how that affects in sales t hough.
>>291941552
>>291941620Honestly, I think Igarashi should start giving out answers to the mysteries instead of adding more mysteries. The manga still sells around 10,000 copies per volume, so it's not doing too terribly for a WSM manga. Would be axed if this was Jump, though.
>>291941493Rikka is the light, making my life brighter with her smile.
>>291894340>"sad' backstory at the climax for a character who got almost nothing until nowHackbros.....
WTF I love Hizumi now.
>>291941528I want to lick her ZR
>>291941586The manga started very well for me, in the beginning the premises it established seemed well achieved to me, but it simply began forgetting things and stopped paying attention to details, and the characters would become inconsistent or simply forget what they ought to have learned.
>>291941802She was my light, but now she’s resigned herself to acting like some fucking idol, and she dresses like a slut.
Why is everyone talking about licking Nene's body parts in a Rikka chapter thread?
Shinobu's armpits.
>>291942195We're just coping before Nenes inevitable defeat.
>>291942276>Nenes inevitable defeat.Surely not....
>>291941586It’s still one of the best romcom it’s just these Rikka arcs are ruining the pacing of the story. When it comes to the fanservice, interactions, and artwork there’s barely any series that surpasses it recently
>>291942276Nenefags love her despite being the filler heroine.
>>291942440Well yeah, she's the best design in this manga.
>>291942365>Surely not....People said the same for Miku, and look how that turned out.
>>291942365shinobu is the obvious winner
>>291942515I was told Iko is the obvious winner.
Everyone is the obvious winner until they aren't.
Who's getting the next volume cover?
>>291942601That might apply to the other three, but Nene is the exact opposite in that she obviously loses.
>>291942720But what if she wins?
>>291942750I would be pleasantly surprised.
>>291942611 (me)It should be Nene, right?
>>291942750The internet will break even harder than the PHP thing.
>>291942720So what if Igarashi goes for the surprise twist?
>>291942874It’s Nene, it’s confirmed.
>>291942874If you look at it in windows of 4, only Rikka hasn't appeared twice in a group.RNISNISN (Nene twice)ISNI (Iko twice)SNIS (Shinobu twice)NISRISRI (Iko twice)SRIS (Shinobu twice)RISNISNRSNRS (Shinobu twice)NRSIIf Rikka is next, it would be her first, if Nene is next it would be her second.
>>291942895I'd be pleasantly surprised, but there's no incentive for him to do that.
300 post for best girl.
Maybe Bucky can borrow the MC of this other manga to be their drummer. And the NotNene can sing too.
>>291943653Teachers never win in romcoms
>>291943733that sure would be some power pulling another character from a completely different manga to show up

Chapter 90 really is a great one.
