Man I was just wondering where this thread was.

Lovely to see Akutsu get on her friends’ nerves with her lovey-dovey behaviour, even more lovely to see them suffer through it and support her. Slightly related: 18+ Spinoff wen?

The author seemingly kicked the plot into gear recently, now my only complaint is that the chapters are too short and/or too infrequent. Which as far as problems with Manga go is a pretty good problem to have.

The longer this goes on the more I suspect the other fans (and maybe even idols) have secretely conspired to get those two married lol

Well there you go, I can ensure you if there ever was a time to binge this it’s now

Coming from the absolutely unexpected confession last episode this feels… weird. I expected some form of friction to still be there but no it seems like both of their wants and desires line up quite well but on the other hand this outcome makes much more sense given how both of them have been portrayed so far. Marin doesn’t even have a cosplay account so her prioritizing cosplay itself over the attention it gets her is nothing new really. Whereas with Gojo we’re well past the point of knowing Hina dolls are no longer priority #1 in his life.

For all I care this can devolve into nothing more than diabetes inducing fluff without any of the supporting cast but I think we still have some more regular plot available with the semi-ongoing references to the “Mandate of Heaven” author positively reacting to Marin’s cosplay of Haniel. Gut feeling say they’ll do one final cosplay as a couple going completely all out and then we’ll get a nice happy end. I’ll be happy to be proven wrong if even more plot to follows though.

Took the opportunity to catch up to the latest chapter (was at 148), gotta say I like where the story is going, especially how Seto seems to grow a spine currently (still WIP but the glimpses into his inner thoughts suggest as much). Unrelated to this chapter but I also appreciate the series going the Horimiya route and having the side ships also form, helps freshen up the story a bit imo. No need to focus exclusively on one pairing the entire time, that gets stale eventually.

I am happy to see continued development on the topic of their relationship status. Hope we’ll get to see a lot more of this

Don’t give them ideas! …wait, actually do give them ideas I wanna see them fawn over their kids as well

Not surprised Sono Bisque Doll landed that high given how banger the chapter was. Been a while since I’ve sat here all giddy waiting for the next chapter like I am now

If they are indeed going after MangaDex they are shooting themselves in both feet. MangaDex is the one site that pretty much immediately reacts to DMCA claims by publishers and authors. If they lawyer them out of the space the void will be taken up by entities that play less nice.

It’s a trope way too many mangaka follow, no creativity on where to carry the story after the confession. Give us the awkward first dates, the misunderstandings from jealousy, I have to see all of that before my thirst for romance sugar is sated. There is so much to be explored within a relationship yet it just gets left on the table unused and up for grabs. I sincerely hope this story continues for a while yet because these two can lead us to so many wonderful stories still, and from when this happened I feel like the mangaka plans on writing more of this story, there is far too much unresolved plot to end this anytime soon.

I have to be perfectly honest, I did not see that coming this soon. I fully expected the Mangaka to drag this confession out another 50 chapters or so, glad I was proven wrong though.

Begs the question where this is going to go now, obviously there is now the plot thread of Gojou being absolutely jealous but I sincerely hope we get to see more of their relationship after that. I’d hate to see another manga end with the couple getting together, seeing what happens after is also a lot of fun.

Seems like everyone around them is shipping those two. Though I doubt Shrimp’s dream of more Urumin hardcore fans will become true given the other ultras consciously steer clear of her so the ship can sail

Danmachi (Is it wrong to try to pick up girls in a dungeon - blame the editor for the title, the author originally wanted one matching the story more closely) comes to mind, that series has been going on for over a decade now and, at least for me, it has been getting better and better with every volume. It’s got its problems (mostly certain characters being overly annoying) but it’s awesome nonetheless. Even now (I’ve read up to and including Volume 17) there are still questions open from the first Volume with most plot developments only deepening existing plot threads instead of opening up new ones.

Disclaimer: Danmachi is also the story that made me start reading Light Novels so my take on it is bound to be extremely biased.

Had the pleasure of watching the first episode last week and it’s gonna be great. I really can’t wait for this to finally start airing

So 10 month Hiatus on the entire thing I guess

I still can’t believe that I’m living in the timeline where this manga has actual progress…

I hope I didn’t jinx it

Progess, in my Akutsu-san manga? Ubelievable that I get to see this. Extremely hyped for moar of this

I fear Megumin has discovered the concept of edging…

I also demand moar of this good stuff, like immediately.

Ah well, waiting it is and I guess there’s always the LN

I would like to think you’re right but this very sudden shift of pace has me slightly concerned. Granted as long as it doesn’t feel rushed I wouldn’t mind this ending, if anything it was starting to feel extremely dragged out.
