Manga |OT|: No matter how I look at it, it's discord's fault we're not popular

I always just go back to the date chapter where the other girls were broken down into food, pampering, shopping, and movies which Fuutarou didn't really enjoy while playing on the swings with Yotsuba was presented as him actually having a good time. None of the other girls ever presented themselves as someone Fuutarou would enjoy spending time with after that.There is also this other scene, where Yotsuba is thinking about a sports medal.
Readers instinctively are lead to think that this scene is hilarious and that Yotsuba is really naive, but... maybe it is another hidden hint about Yotsuba being the bride (the medal has the number 1). I doubt all these hints are accidental, including the fact that Yotsuba uses the ring finger in the corresponding volume cover. Probably Negi wanted to make the childhood friend the bride from the beginning and disseminate dhints which only now really make sense.
Another hint is made by the two following images, the first of the chapter where classmates start to think Yotsuba and Fuutarou are dating and the second of the last campfire arc chapter. The words are basically the same. It would be interesting to know if they are the same also in Japanese.

Never thought I'd read a harem series where my favorite character would actually ended up "winning".
Reading back, the clues were always there, but Itsuki being a red herring kept throwing a wrench in the whole thing for me. She was the only one to support him completely from minute one, even in ways he didn't know or care about at the time, like making him Class Rep which led to him hanging out with his classmates outside of school for the first time of his own accord. So the people saying elsewhere that this came out of nowhere are probably just still in denial.
What a great confession and great chapter in general.

Ichigo 100% (first harem manga I've read) had my favorite character win. It's been all down hill from there lol5toubun 114

That's kinda been the theme for a while now.
Nino to Miku: "You were the first one to fall in love with him."
NOPE
Nino: "No one loves him more than me."
BIG NOPE
Ichigo 100% has been my first harem manga too. Unfortunately I read it in a period (high shool) where I read less manga and played less games (you know, the classic period where no one shares your hobby and you try to get other hobbies too), so even though I liked it, it didn't make me continue with this genre which now I quite appreciate. Besides, my favourite one lost - I am also sure that now I have different preferences in terms of character's personality, so if I read this manga today (I should re-read it honestly), I would have preferred the winner too, maybe.
Instead my only favourite girl being a winner has been in Nisekoi - I may be biased, but I really liked that manga, filler (not all, of course) included, it is also the manga which made me read other harem ones.
And then I am sure my favourite one in We Can't Study (Fumino) is goona lose too, because 2020 will be the year of the childhood friends' revenge.
I didn't have a favorite for Nisekoi so I didn't really care too much about it. I do have the same opinion as yours for We Can't Study though.
Surprisingly never read it. Maybe I should change it.
I haven't read in a while, but I felt Fumino was the obvious choice there. Unless something changed. My favorite was the senpai character, but there was zero chance of anything happening with her the moment she showed up.
As for Nisekoi, I didn't really care for any of the girls in the harem. Disliked or was neutral to each one for different reasons. I did like the whole Ruri and Shuu dynamic, so I walked away pretty satisfied.
The series is very logical which is why its so different from other harem mangas. Its also why its so hard to predict.
Yotsuba is the easy choice if this was real life. She was nice to him from the start, supported him from the start, a nice person, he enjoys his time with her, ect.
There are moments where I think the main character could have feelings for Uruka. Then, the fact that she is going to leave Japan can be perfectly exploited for a timeskip after their mutual confession to the wedding (in a certain sense, similar to Nisekoi).
Guess I'll pick up Quints again considering my fave won. What is this...feeling
I'm so glad I dropped Nisekoi mid way. Just reading about how it all ended made me glad I didnt invest any more time on that.
I will never get over that ending even like 10 years later. I hated it so much lmao. This is the first time my fave ever won in a harem.

In a surprise twist, Fumino's dad marries Yuiga's mom, eliminating her from the race.
Eh, who am I kidding, it's anime/manga. Them being step siblings would probably be in her favor.
Got a bunch of the larger, hardcover collections of some manga series I havent read before on Black Friday. Like the Full Metal editions for FMA, the Knights of Sidonia Master Editions, and some of the Gundam Origin HCs. Then I also saw this newer book called Levius that had a really cool HC. Anyone read this yet? Looks like its getting a movie on Netflix from the people who did Sidonia and BLAME!
It looks like a really cool setting. Like a futuristic Victorian England.
Theres also a sequel series thats coming out now called Levius/est.

Aside from when Ichika was playing dirty a while ago I feel like I actually like each of the quints enough to be happy whoever wins. Yotsuba has always been shown as a bit too kind and supportive so it's nice to see her rewarded in the end.

At least it isn't same level as B*ku girl (yet), but it will go further worse later on.
Goodbye, my Mini-skirt 01
This is kind of my fault for not reading the description, but I read the title and saw the cover of this, and assumed it was going to be a LGBT manga, but it isn't- it's about a girl who got assaulted by a pervert on the way home from school, and starts wearing pants instead of a miniskirt. This seems good, but not really what I was looking for, so I'll probably drop, but some of you might like it?

Interesting. And good timing since it ranked first here for female readers:Goodbye, my Mini-skirt 01

wow i had no idea tokyo shinobi squad already endedTokyo Shinobi Squad END
Worth it. Will definitely go on my list of favorite jump Manga. Jin and En will be canon in my hearts, also how he clearly taugh him his electricity.
Bring more guys from thailand in jump please.
man this series had so much fucking potential in the 1st chapter, but everything afterwards is just so mediocre i haven't read it for the last 20 or so chapters
do we know what's replacing it on jump?
The newest manga that came out are Zipman!! and Agravity Boys.
Zipman!! is an action manga so you could try that if you want a TSS replacement.
Agravity Boys is... not.
Not sure what Soma could be, but WNL is probably season 3 or a VN game.
With WNL I'm expecting either season 3, live action, or an ending announcement.
Yes please animate Mr Suzuki. Current food wars season is just 12 episodes
I figured ending announcements were saved for the manga, not Jump Fiesta. Has a series ending ever been announced at Jump Fiesta before?
when is Samurai 8 going to get cancelled
it is forever at the bottom
maybe they might keep it because it is Kishi's work but idk about that either
I thought it would have been exempt from cancellation at least for 10 volumes, but since it is now in the real bottom of the ToC I think it could be the next manga to get cancelled, when a new series will have to start.
yeah I can see that
shame the series became so exposition heavy but in a wrong way
world building were they talk a lot about the world via text but never actually show it... even though it is suppose to be a world way bigger then OP's world you feel constrained and smaller
plus other poor handling of stuff and the random pacing issues were it rushes one second but slows down on other things makes the series really mishandled
Tokyo Shinobi Squad END

I liked Tokyo Shinobi Squad a lot. It's the kind of setting and characters that really appeal to me. But I stopped reading it about 3 months ago when people said it was going to get the axe. Just felt like...why invest if they didn't care? :/
Having no time sucks. Manga keep piling up and I wasn't able to read most them yet. But I'm on holiday now and so I'm going to catch up on them. Of the few I already read, I didn't review them so here it goes:
Made in Abyss Vol. 8 (ch. 48-51)
The last stop before a very long wait, but I'm still fixated on the idea that manga like this are meant to be read by volume, not by chapter. Spoiler prone approach though, and I'm weak... There's a flashback side story in this entire volume (complete, unlike if you read by chapter, hehe) and I usually don't like flashbacks; One Piece, that's mainly because of you. That is, unless it is as good as this one, a gritty tale about the establishment of "the village" that would make Jack London shiver. Some great characters here, the expedition leader is amazing. So confident and yet so desperate. Unlike the main story, this is viewed from an adult's perspective, showing a glimpse of how different it would be if it took the same route, such as traveling with a larger group. Now to wait for the next volume, will take probably a year or more. I never had problems with waiting for MiA, though, that stuff just continues to linger in my heart. I'm currently rereading from the start and taking my time with it. Those first chapters were so incredibly dense with information.
Sacrifice to the King of Beasts Vol. 6 (ch. 30-35)
Stays cute, but episodic with formulaic progress. After saving the king from being discovered in his human form, Saliphie proceeds in taking challenges to prove she'll be a good queen. She's some sort of vice queen now with specific responsibilities, but the situation is roughly the same. This time there's a ceremony to give a blessing to a newborn prince of a neighboring country, but a bratty princess makes trouble. Yeah, it will stay that way for a while.
Dr. Stone Vol. 2 (ch. 8-16)
Didn't take off for me, yet. That tactic to get away from Tsukasa was pretty risky, lol. Flashback, OK. I'm interested how the situation will change with the new characters on the map.
Cells at Work! Vol. 3 (ch. 10-14)
So looks like the stories are primarily about the immune system battling diseases with the functions of the other cells being explained according to the case involved. From the start I was surprised that the manga was handing out a spate of medical terms like its nothing. That's pretty OK though, at least in manga form. The realistic art-style clashes with the goofy antics of the cells which is funny in a very special way. I've got two more volumes of this one, perhaps I will learn something (or not as usual).
Delicious in Dungeon aka Dungeon Meshi Vol. 1 (ch. 1-8)
One of the titles that catched my interest before due to talk on the internet. It is nice and dense despite being basically a simple D&D campaign with a single objective up to this point, which is rescuing party leader Laios's sister before she is digested by a dragon. Feels pretty similar to Goblin Slayer in this regard. The characters are basic but likeable except the cooking dwarf, who is ironically a clean slate (yet) despite being the central character to the main theme of the story. The episodes themselves were fun, but still episodes.
Don't think that I'll endure those longer posts much longer mostly because of time constraints, but who reads them anyway. :-) But I wanted to get that initial load off my chest.

It's also really inefficient in its world building where despite a lot of text devoted to explaining certain concepts it still isn't clear what they actually are or how they work
reminds me of something one of the hosts of the Weekly manga recap podcast said where Kishimoto doesn't really have a good grasp of where his strengths as a storyteller lie
We will never be free. That said, this heel turn shocked me cause its just so..... sudden. With out prompt. A little outa left field. Its basically the boulder landing on Elizabeth all over again.
So I take it the general quality of writing is better ? Is Savage Ayano still in there or has that been excised as well ?
Black Clover
I don't think I managed to finish last two or 3 chapters. I think I'm finally ... free ?
Quintuplets
Yay, best girl won. Though frankly, this is a pretty underwhelming finale. Beyond my earlier qualms, I feel the making of Yots into this "secret" contender added on top of Futarou being an enigma to keep the bride mystery on going ended up making this pairing, I dunno undercooked ? Simplistic ? Going by chapter count, they're over all the hurdles in the first chapter of their relationship. Futs way up till this point was hidden away from the reader and Yots was in denial mode till halfway through this chapter.
Savage Ayano is still in it. I don't know if I'd call the writing quality significantly better, especially towards the end when it kind of introduces some plot points just for the sake of drama, but I enjoyed the manga more then the anime.
Kingdom Ch. 625
Half the pages are just shots of everyone reacting to the fight and I'm all for it because Shin is badass. The last page is pretty great too.
