>>288580752 I am not sure about chapters, but I predict this arc will last 4 volumes like the high school arc and they will break up on volume 7 and made up on volume 8
>>288581325 Mahoako also has uncensored tits and ass with some sort of fetish fueled sex scene once per episode. >no harem shit Arguably Magia Baiser treats all her friends and enemies like her own personal sex toy box. Although to be fair half of them do the same to her
That being said I love both of them. Also is that only Japanese sales? Because Mahoako got an overseas release and Watanare still hasn’t.
>>288581389 >Arguably Magia Baiser treats all her friends and enemies like her own personal sex toy box. She really doesn't. It's literally just the shows ecchi gimmick. There's ecchi stuff between basically all of the characters at some point.
>>288581450 Again not a comparison. Mahoako is a Yuri eechi, with far more risque scenes than most het eechi. Not to mention the animation was decent and it had good character designs. It was also a lewd magical girl series, something not really done before
>>288581538 Current one lets Sendai stick a finger or two in, calls Sendai "Hazuki" from time to time, is overall more okay with going along with Sendai's schemes, and knows now that Sendai loves her.
>>288581925 Forced couple, the destroyed HQ character when she went from a useless delusional low IQ retard to an actual retarded woman but with ninja skills and dressed as slutty halloween which is btw the single reason the character was popular for a while, not the comics, cartoons, games, movies, no no no, it was because women wanted to dress like a slutty clown.
>>288582174 >Sayo x Utena x Kiwi is the only thing that makes sense It really doesn't make any sense at all. Sayo straight up supports Kiwi and Utena hooking up, and Sayo herself has no romantic interest in Utena at all. She's just horny and sees Baiser as a outlet.
>>288582284 >if she doesn't get paired up on screen that means she is single forever No. And do you hate Sayo so much that you would condemn her to be part of a low brow threesome shit?
>>288582174 Not everyone needs a pairing. Sayo is happy being abused by anyone
That said I wouldn’t mind seeing her end up with Sister Gigant for submissive shrine maiden x dominant nun. Or alternatively an even more insane outcome Kaoruko finally confessed to Haruka, but Haruka tells her that she loves her and Sayo equally leading to Tres Magia throuple
I was just talking about a certain case of a schizo who claimed that Watanare sales don't count cos it is free on Amazon thus not popular Only to turn out it's just two manga chapters
Kimishinu will be a success that will lead to a Kimitsuzu movie. Doom yuri is the future. Too much idealism and wish fulfillment is the STD that is pestering the genre.You want happiness? adopt a kitten or puppy.
>>288583742 It's just a new """wining""" info against the big bad Watanare he found, he is going to spam it for a while even if the price is having to a 180 on Mahoako, another series he frequently seethes about
>>288580620 >most gore is off screen or toned down >zero explicit shots of Koumori fucking bitches >most of her creepy traits are stripped down to be more palatable to a shonen audience
>>288584212 >>2045137 >>2041290 Event & Saki card: CGDCT Towa card: Towa is pretend marriage oath for fun when Noa comes in. Towa asks Noa to plays pretend with her. They go through the whole thing and just before the kiss, Noa closes her eyes to prepare for it and Towa calls it off saying it is too real if they continue. Noa card: Noa is lusting after Saki and Ibuki in wedding dress when Towa hits her in the back. They end up saying that while it is easy to imagine Saki or Ibuki getting married for real, it is impossible to imagine that for Noa or Towa. They start bickering over each other's shortcomings in married situations and how no one except them can stand each other, before realizing what they just said and both start intense blushing.
>>288584322 He's an attention whore. He picks whatever indefensible stance gets him attention. And this thread loves to give him attention, as seen by you retards making the Murcielago announcement all about him.
>>288581925 >Detective Comics Comics broke them up in mainline AGAIN just so they can make a big deal of them getting back together probably next year while they also have two different ongoing comics(Sirens Love Hurts and Harley & Ivy) that depict the start of their relationship >Marvel has just been shit in general for decades with half-assed pandering
I like them but outside of "only women exist in this universe" shit like Bombshells where in the complete absence of the usual male heroes you have stuff like Supergirl and Lois Lane falling in love, Harley & Ivy are so popular they basically suck out all the oxygen out of the room as far as high profile lesbian superheroes go so the only stunt left to play is gay men and or in comics that aren't about superheroes like Monstress or Gun Honey.
We had a whole superhero craze in manga and barely got any yuri manga out of it, the fuck
>>288584274 >free chapters and volumes Last time you claimed this shit, it was found out to be exactly two free chapters of the manga, schizo-kun Wanna try posting those supposed free chapters and volumes again? 2nd time the charm right?
>>288586414 >the free chapters count as digital downloads by the "sales" metric No evidence of this has EVER been presented. Even if it was true, literally ALL series would include them, meaning any advantage would cancel out
>>288586832 You are defending the equivalent of Iruma starting a novel series with a male MC who gets a harem made of side girls from his other works like Tarumi.
>>288587136 Not even close. Narita is not going out of his way to "watch", he is just their friend who was even at the start interest in one of them, Maki is the most sanitized self inserting version of a male character you can have in a story.
>>288587231 >Narita is not going out of his way to "watch" Maki doesn't either, it's always people who come to him because he has a reputation of giving good advice. Like, he doesn't even get involved with Akari and Dojima's romance because they never ask him.
>>288587263 Anon, he literally explains he likes to watch couples, you are not going to remove this part of his character, you could even argue the only reason he went for Yuu is because he realized there was an obstacle to his hobby since they were an incomplete couple.
>>288587329 Anon I don't know how to tell you this but... this book is going to disappoint you. Also I'm not sure "we have to stop doing this, I'm your teacher" followed by "Oh god she's blackmailing me, that's so romantic" can be described as conflict free.
>>288587334 Yes anon, it would be impossible for him to see them on purpose since no one knew they were dating, which doesn't change what he said at all, he is looking at them now like he is looking at other couples, Nakatani makes sure you understand very well he is pretty much an eunuch, Narita is their friend and they enjoy hanging with him, he is not going to give them speechs.
>>288587462 Narita literally tells Joe that he'd rather watch over couples than get involved in his own romance and then proceeds to have a neuron activation over Joe and Kanna.
>>288587492 The first chapter he shows up it's literally Narita flirting to try to get the answers from her and then he gets upset this "guy" is much cooler than he is.
>>288587596 He just brags about being able to get girls to do him favors (of the non-sexual variety) and gets annoyed it doesn't work on Aya. The series really could not be clearer about his lack of romantic interest. He even wears a hoodie with "cupid" written on it here.
>>288586832 That seems extreme. That said I’m not buying the collection because apparently it’s got a bunch of censorship on top of including the hetslop game
>>288587699 >>288587701 >>288587716 He likes having girls all over him, he just doesn't want a girlfriend, it's not that uncommon, you are mistaking a friend who knows they like each other and who wants to see them together, with someone whose hobby is actually to watch couples, Narita is much more of a shipper.
>>288587832 The compilation rerelease includes a short playable section made out of the anime and a butchered version of the shitty gacha (in English for the first time) that supposedly removes the harem fanservice scenes because they did recognize people hated them though not the male MC himself, plus new scenes that are meant to make sense of the series' convoluted timeline and the mobile game's axed ending. It all sounds really half-assed and there's censorship and removal of outfits that were in the two console games on top of that, but it's not exactly the same experience as just playing those.
>>288587691 Digital downloads don't include free downloads the same way that giving away free samples doesn't count as a sale.
>Not all series have 24/7/365 free kindle downloads on Amazon. >https://bookwalker.jp/tag/4004/?order=rank&qpri=1&qsst=7&np=1&page=2 Bookwalker has thousands of free chapters up right now of even popular series like Boruto/Chainsawman/etc. It's the exact same in other websites. So you're wrong.
>>288586832 Kishida Mel saying BR always had a male insert protagonist to fix all these gay girls in mind and assuring me that all the yuri in BR2 was in my head and that he didn't even know what yuri was killed any interest in ever supporting this series again.
>>288588063 >Also, even biologically, even if it is a woman, if you grow up as a man, or if the gender identity is male, it is not yuri They're not going to like this one
>>288588079 >you have a really hard time understanding basic logic You claimed they're including free downloads, so by your logic, all the sales data for those series must be fake too.
>the term "Digital download" does not exclude "free download" It also doesn't exclude digital piracy. Most works just say "includes digital", so are they including all illegal downloads now too?
>the term "sale" does exclude "free sample" It does; you're just selling it for $0.
>>288587816 NTA but you're making a distinction without a difference to most ordinary fans. They see a guy supporting the relationship in both cases and don't think much beyond it. The idea that most fans of Narita would hate Maki is unfounded.
>>288588266 Free sample chapters are not included in digital downloads and you've shown no evidence that they are included. The fact that you're trying to argue about the English when the Japanese is actually what matters is even more insane.
>they have every reason to lie because they want to make themselves look more popular, and thus get better sales. Every series has a reason to lie about how popular they are then. This is a meaningless statement.
>>288586882 Yes, please. I love Yanagi and I really like her being paired up with Toudou. If you go back and read her first two chapters, Toudou acts completely different around Yanagi than any other girl.
>>288588430 The word in Japan used is just デジタル, very little else.
>1.5k bluray says really does say it all Chainsawman had horrible BD sales and its one of the most popular manga around. BD Sales are also not the only metric of popularity that can come from merch, streaming, etc.
https://x.com/SugoiLITE/status/2063484820702036073 Before he went on a deletion spree, the leaker who thought HDWR was going to be announced had a post where he hinted that Kimishinu might be delayed. Now, with Sugoi doing the same thing, I’m not sure if it happening at the last second would be a better or worse sign than it being known several months in advance. I’m still wondering where they’re getting this from. I remember seeing a post a couple of months ago from someone who knew an animator who had worked on it, and from their point of view, the schedule looked fine.
>>288588628 That's the term they use: https://x.com/jujutsu_PR/status/1399183852753412098?s=20. So JJK must be lying about their total sales too because they're including all the free digital. But that's not true because traditionally, they don't include free sample chapters.
>Still got more sales than Watnare Factually incorrect because the first volume of Chainsawman only sold 1,735 copies compared to Watanare's 2,871.
>>288588849 That's an official twitter account of most of the most popular battle shounens of our era. It's an incredibly common phrase, so of course people are going to use it. But I can post many many more examples, if you want:
The reason I know you're full of shit is because Japan doesn't measure sales directly. They measure by circulation number, how many copies they've sent out to bookstores and the like. They usually say "X many copies in circulation (including digital)" , so you've been wrong about it the entire time.
>>288588990 >all official accounts are run by the same person Are you retarded? I never even implied that. They're run by different people. The fact that all these different people are using the same terminology shows it's a common way to understand.
>does not mean that's the standard metric Most manga publishers do not have the ability to track individual sales of manga because they do not own all the stores where they are sold, nor do they own the digital platforms like Amazon et al. that would relay to them how many copies they've sold. That is an undienable fact that you've posted (0) evidence to contradict it beyond your word.
>>288589121 anon please stop arguing with the sperg, he's going to spin anything you say into fake news no matter how outlandish he sounds have a drink, sniff a cat, enjoy the day
>>288589187 No, I did not say all. I said it was a common way to use it and pointed to many examples to prove my point. You haven't pointed to ANY other ways that they describe it and expect people to take you at your word.
>does not mean that's the standard metric It exactly does because you're trying to dispute it being the standard metric without providing any evidence.
>>288589247 It's not "the definition of words" or "common sense" because you didn't even post the actual Japanese word used.
>You're trying to claim it's the standard metric without any evidence. I pointed to three popular manga using the term, each with tens of thousands of views, yet no one in the comments in confused by the terms used.
>>288589344 >Do you understand what Clearly you don't.
>This is the part of the discussion where you should be trying to defend your retarded claim of "the metric is the number of copies in circulation". Go check the links posted for those very popular and mainstream manga. But if you want more examples, here is Chainsawman using that exact terminology.
>>288590546 >you STILL won't admit you're wrong about common sense English words English words do not matter in this context because we are talking about Japanese words, which you haven't referenced either.
>a random twitter post Multiple twitter posts from the most popular manga. >the standard metric that they talk about It means it is a common metric used and understood by fans. You haven't posted any other metric.
>>288591256 >You are trying to claim it's the SOLE metric they use I said it was common term.
>any digital copy would be a digital download. Please tell me you aren't serious right now. Places like bookwalker don't you let download the epub. You hjave to access it through their app or website.
>>288590847 Unfortunately yuri takes the subject that most attracts mental illness to the extreme: women, so from one side you have mentally ill men who want to be women and from the other side you have mentally ill men who hate women and in the middle you have actual mentally ill women.
>>288583194 Trust the master(s). They can tard wrangle 40 or so colorful characters from 3 different parts of their in-universe for one or two years. Probably. Maybe.
>>288592937 I love the exhasperated reactions of the MC of the poverty ball manga whose name eludes me at present. If it even counts as yuri. If not? Yeah Mahoako by a country mile.
