YES.

All of it. In my face. I have been waiting for this for over a year. It’s almost here. July.

To anyone who doesn’t know much about this, it’s a girl flirting with a boy using harem tropes in one of the cutest and most real-feeling romance stories I have ever read. This is my straight-up favourite manga, and I am looking forward to the anime.

I don’t think Ichikawa is the kind of person to act that quickly, and Yamada was probably just blushing cause he was in the room and heard it all.

I knew it was coming, but it definitely caught me by surprise that it came out already. It’s a treat.

People come here because it’s big. It’s big because people come here.

What if we went over there? What if we made the one over there big? Big, and entirely under the control of actual fans of anime who don’t dismiss the entire medium as porn, I might add. Wouldn’t that be better?

I would disagree with that being a plot twist, though. You’re aware of both possibilities from very early on, and the idea that it’s real appears later than the idea that it’s not. It’s hard for it to be a twist when people keep directly telling you what the twist is going to be before it happens.

None. It’s not a good plot twist. Even the Truman Show didn’t use it as a plot twist, but as a premise. If the story was engaging without the twist, then it’s a gut punch to suddenly pull the rug and say “gotcha! The plot was meaningless!” If the story wasn’t engaging, then you didn’t get far enough to see the twist.

With a name like that, I will be upset with anything that doesn’t include the word “ahyuck!”
