/a/ - Animu & Mango

>>753668

>text, the chapter

This phase of the series has so many characters and it`s going on for so much time I barely remember the names of the side characters

>>753671

All I know is I'm being cucked out of watching Ucchi stalk Tomoko.

It seems Yuri atleast somewhat regretted her actions.

Post shit in the right order or don't post anything at all you worthless fucking nigger. Give your files proper names as well.

>>753686

Seriously, kill yourself OP.

So she is actually able to have conversations with a group of people without spazzing the fuck out. I guess character development DID happen at one point. Figured it never would with how it was going in the beginning.

>>753720

They're all her close friends though.

>>753720

But her actions still end up being brought up even when she managed to not embarass herself and keep in control for 5 minutes.

I think it's official now that EVERYONE thinks she is a lesbian.

>>753733

True, but there's little to work with- considering it's the life of an autist/anon in female form- plus the disgusting nature of 'girl problems' added into the mix- It was kind of a given this would happen, seeing as Male austism-years aren't as expansive for females, and by extension the japs.

I mean, we've all done awkward NEET things and had less than stellar childhoods socially- but I don't think the female equivalent of us in japan has ever had one of those "Child games that turned sexual experimentation" Moments when people would discusses accidental sexual misadventure because reasons, incidents at school that got your parents called over because they were so bad, permanent expulsion incidents, social/services/help issues, and other crap.

At this point, it's about Tomoko's Autism bringing out the most embarrassing aspects of the people she attempts to interact with who all have their own view of her due to how 'off-key' she is with normal human coversation nearing Aspergal levels of cosmic conversation pondering prior to conversation giving mechanical responses built on misconceptions of how one meshes their words and such. As a result of this, we've gotten something of a trope of girls interested in her because they can't quite get a hold on her actual personality given how she betrays everyone's understanding an expectations of her on a regular basis.

I mean, she's still operating under the impression she isn't popular, whilst showing a slight merger of Aspergal/Autismal incompetant Sociopathy when it comes to her making up stories to make her look better than she actually is, but it's somewhat improving, unintentional that it may be.

>>753733

Watamote has always been SOL, fag.

>>753760

Not a bland one though.

>>753767

Is there any reason why you think new watamote is bland?

>>753768

It's being diluted with boring characters nobody gives enough of a fuck about to even remember their names and the main character isn't even active in the story anymore.

>>753769

>diluted with boring characters

Most people find them interesting.

>nobody gives enough of a fuck about to even remember their names

Maybe you don't give a fuck, but everyone else actually does, very much.

>the main character isn't even active in the story anymore

She has been the center of most of the conflicts.

You're just contrarian buddy.

>>753774

I'm not lying, just see by yourself how much enthusiasm the readers have for the direction the series takes. One single chapter already generated this much discussion among the japs yesterday.

http://may.2chin.net/b/res/520187862.htm

http://may.2chin.net/b/res/520234274.htm

I hated this one.

>>753785

>her dropping dirty sex jokes in a nonchalant manner, the Japanese equivalent of saying Bazinga, instead of being fidgety about everything.

We've had enough of that cringe comedy back in the first year. It was getting old, and without being met with any long term response from other characters it would be boring. We already know what Tomoko is like inside and out, of course the natural development would be to know what others think of Tomoko. And If you've paid attention to the flashbacks of junior high school life Tomoko had, that's just what Tomoko naturally is when she has friends who would listen to her. People are only fidgety when they lack the self confidence to express themselves.

>in reality she's gone backwards, since the entire focus of the series was her search for what would make her high school life intense and anime-like as well as becoming an acceptable normalfag in the process.

I think you're missing the point because the conclusion of chapter 122 is Tomoko refuses to become a normalfag. The most important development of watamote isn't how Tomoko becomes normal, but how Tomoko and her friends gradually learn to develop empathy for people around them by overcoming their misanthropic mindset. The Minami character serves as a reminder for the readers that being a normalfag doesn't always correlate with having empathy for other people.

>Now she's doing nothing if it doesn't involve saccharine characters that have zero personality and are just there so that people can ship them with the main character.

Zero personality in what way?

>but nope, gotta add twenty Love Live rejects in the mix

I don't even know what Love Live is like, so sorry, I don't know what you're trying to prove.

>Even emoji-tan's joke is the same one Tomoko herself made, just plastered onto another character so that they can pretend the story's moving forward.

But that's the entire point of Ucchi. She exactly matches Tomoko's personality in every way, it's just the way the author sets her up to become Tomoko's romantic interest.

>Nips have the worst tastes imaginable.

But watamote isn't even popular in japan and even less so internationally. If it was truly popular, we would have gotten season 2. Yet, it sparks a lot of discussion. That's what enthusiasm is.

I finally caught up with the manga from way back before the first trip, and let me say, with the amount of bitching some of you guys do, I was expecting a lot worse.

True, she has a small band of friends now, with a larger ring if passerby acquaintances. But what did you expect? She made it her point in the beginning to make half assed attempts to get on people's good sides, it's only fair that some people would end up meeting her half way and just sticking around to see what the fuck she would do next.

Some of the characters stick around because she makes them feel better about herself, some are tied to her by misunderstanding or fate. It happens in life. But one thing has not changed: Tomoko is a God damn spergy spectacle.

She still flips the fuck out whenever she is in near proximity to a man, get a easily flustered and exacerbates the problem that is in front of her, and has zero tact at all. I don't even think she realizes half the people friendly to her are doing it out of more than rote commitment.

She's made steps, but they are baby steps at best, so I don't understand why you bitch and moan so much in these threads.

>>753785

>my tastes are the only ones hat matter, the post!

You are wrong. It is MY opinion that matters.

And my opinion is that you're a fag.

Yuri displays the symptoms of neurosis with dead on accurately here. So did Tomoko in the earlier chapters, but interactions with Imae, Nemo, Yuu, and her Kyoto trip friends have helped her in overcoming it and reaching the stage of self-actualization. The difference between Yuri and Tomoko is Yuri is a lot less willing to learn while Tomoko keeps trying to push herself out of her bubble through trial and errors. On top of that, this realistic portrayal of psychology is presented in a light hearted comedy manga flawlessly. Excellent writing, I don't know how anyone can hate nu watamote.

>>753720

She only talk to Tomoko though, even Yuri called her out on her autistic nature of barging in uninvited and then start talking about stuff nobody else in the group know. Yuri atleast aware about what Yuu Chan might think.

>>753945

Shit, I mean Mako not Yuri.

>>754138

That's a pretty standard first impression for high school girls in mango and anime.

In Love Live sunshine the first thing Chika thinks when she meets every member of Aquors for the first time is "she's pretty" or "she's cute".

>>754140

>only gives valentine chocolate to girls

>blushing when holding Tomoko's hand inside the bathroom stall

>blushing when given a chocolate by Yuri

Not explicitly stated (yet), but she might be a lesbo. It might be a standard for the average manga, but in watamote she's the only one with these gestures.

>>753668

I approve of this. You get full marks.

>all these friends

I can no longer relate

>>754384

You think Tomoko still have the drawing?

>watamote will never be good again

I've yet to see a non-SOL anime/manga that isn't autistic. Hell, SOL animes are actually unbearable, I only read SOL mangas.

Also, I find nu-watamote to be better than the early chapters. Tomoko's inner monologue made me want to smack the autism out of her.

>>754867

I don't think autistic means what you think it means. What you said doesn't make sense for the real meaning of the word or the way the internet uses it.

>>754870

I think "weightlessly overblown" is the better way to describe it.

>>754878

That makes a little more sense but saying every anime/manga is weightlessly overblown is still false.

>>754869

If you didn't identify with Tomoko at the beggining you were never the target audience anyways.

>>754885

Not every one of them is overblown, but motion photography will always look less flat and jerky compared to visual illustration no matter what. That's why anime is weightless.

>>754459

more like surprise, she did mention a lot of peoples in her class are peoples she already know

>>754933

And you are not the target audience now.

Leave.

>>755183

The same people can be the target audience, Tomoko desparately wanted to make friends and be popular yet failed time and again and was miserable and alone something a lot of us can relate to. Now she has friends and is far less autismo, we can still relate in a couple ways. Either we can relate in the way that we used to be like old Tomoko and we went through our own personal growth and became less autismo ourselves. So we can see her character arc of growing up in ourselves. Personally that how it is for me in middle school and early high school I was depressed, had no friends and desparately wanted just one friend. Then halfway through grade 11 it happened and that one friend turned into a group of friends and I was happy so I can relate to her character arc a lot alternatively we can attempt to view her character arc as something to strive for. A goal to reach, use it as inspiration so to speak.

>>755188

I had a feeling Watamote would turn to this eventually, and I am glad. She's still awkward, but the message being pushed here is that she's not alone in this awkwardness. All of her classmates are like her in some way, and only now that she speaks to them or listens to them do we as the viewer begin to see this. The series will eventually end, and the author doesn't want to leave her fans, most of whom relate to Tomoko, the same way they were when this whole thing began.

Anyone else feeling a sense of sadness reading these last few chapters? I'm not sure why or how to describe it.

>>755183

I've been out ever since the field trip.

It is too much to hope that people see the point was to grow out of your own autism along side her.

>>755252

>Anyone else feeling a sense of sadness reading these last few chapters? I'm not sure why or how to describe it.

I think it has to do with Tomoko's character arc essentially coming to an end. The whole time up to this point you're rooting for her to succeed and not be so miserable. Well it's here now, the goal has been accomplished and the only thing the series can do now is end. You're sad because you know it's going to be over soon

>>755282

It's /a/ anon, a board comprised of hikkis in their 20s and 30s

>>755286

>the only thing the series can do now is end.

What are you talking about? We still have Tomo accepting she's a lesbo in love with Yui, Ucchi accepting she's a lesbo in love with Tomo, Kii accepting she's a lesbo and by now hopefully furry in love with Tomo and that bathroom lesbo confessing to Yuri, among other things.

>>755286

>You're sad because you know it's going to be over soon

I'm bothered because it's going nowhere and the characters introduced add nothing to the story. The anime ended in the best way possible. Heck, even introducing the acquaintances and killing it then and there would have been better than transforming it into yet another SoL.

>>755325

>it's going nowhere

>characters introduced add nothing to the story

I don't understand how you could think that way. Contrary to your opinion, I think they add so much to the story. The earlier chapters felt pointless to me, they were just cringe comedy after cringe comedy with Yuu and Imae occasionally appearing to make the story feel less repetitive.

Now that they've added more characters, it feels like there's always something to look up to, which is understanding every character's personality. Even old characters like Tomoki and Yuu are getting more fleshed out in the latest chapters. I feel like it's not your generic SOL, there aren't many SoL's out there that gradually unveils and develops their characters as much as watamote.

>>755297

Don't forget the showdown between Kii and Ucchi when they realize that their respective obsessive doting and stalking interfere with each other, and that the only solution is bloodshed. Ucchi will be using a knife as is befitting yandere stalkers, while Kii will be wielding a bullwhip she was planning on utilizing in some animal play with Tomoko.

>>755331

Oh yeah also add to that they've got about six pages to cram as much character development as possible and instead of centering them on an actual arc that covers multiple chapters, they try and close a mini-story that ultimately goes against the idea of unveiling characters' personality.

>>755339

>That it's all pointless.

Yes, and eventually the readers would get bored if it kept going that way, and Tomoko herself realized it.

>nothing interesting ever happens

What about Imae's graduation and Tomoko's realization that she never did anything for her in return of her kindness? Or Tomoko influencing Nemo into becoming a loner? Or Yuri's surprising possessiveness for Tomoko? I don't understand what you consider as interesting.

>Yoshida

>The most stereotypical Delinquent-lite

>the author couldn't even use a fucking badass Sukeban

You're not even getting the point. The point is she isn't even a delinquent, short tempered and likes to skip school maybe, but she's not one. She's only interesting when it comes to her dynamics with Tomoko, which shows Tomoko's more daring side that others would never think of. And the lack of Tomoko's inner monologue during her interaction with Yoshida is the most interesting aspect to it.

>Sarah Andersen if she was Japanese.

No, Ucchi literally mirrors Tomoko, down to her insecurity, delusions, and judgemental attitude. And that's just the whole point of her character, to give Tomoko a love interest that'd suit her in every way.

>the show is now suddenly edging towards full blown yuri-attractor

Is that a bad thing?

>Akari

She's just a minor character whose purpose is to give Komi a rival. Komi is an even more interesting character now thanks to her.

>Literally who

Yuri's personal Yuu.

>The designated bitch

Her obsession with being the most popular girl in the class will definitely add something to the story in the future. Nemo is nothing like that.

>Yuri is the only character that added something to the story.

And thus she has been given more spotlight in the more recent chapters by the author, so why complain?

>>755340

But we understand people through little things they do in real life.

>>755339

>this is the kind of crowd the show's attracting.

I've been on this ride since the mass drive to buy the first volumes made me check what the fuss was about, and I miss being unable to get through a single chapter in one sitting as much as anyone, but why am I not allowed to enjoy what joy there still is to be had? Would it be better if they had dropped Tomo's lesbian shenanigans as well so there wasn't a single thing from the early chapters left in the series?

>>755334

>showdown between Kii and Ucchi

A man can dream.

>>757656

>kii loving anyone but tomoko

Heresy

>>757724

Ucchi is just as judgemental, hypocritical, and delusional as Tomoko. Kii-chan is more twisted than Tomoko. They'd like each other.

There are two decent routes the creators could take with Watamote. Both require Tomoko developing better social skills and opening up to other people. I don't think they should force stupid sentimentality into a comedy manga that has never taken itself too seriously, but it is necessary for Tomoko's development. I don't want this manga to stretch on to Tomoko going to university.

1. Tomoko becomes really close with two of her friends. The best candidates would be Yuu and Yuri. Tomoko should connect with them on a deeper level than her typical dirty jokes. This can lead to a number of conflicts and struggles for Tomoko to overcome. At the end of her third year she will either rejoice in her friendship, or have to cope with parting ways with a past friend.

2. The other option is to introduce a love interest. He would need to be either a complete loner, or painfully average person. They would have to come into contact against eachothers wishes and slowly grow close over time. The good thing about Watamote is that it doesn't necessarily have to end with them being a happy couple. Tomoko could in theory have to come to terms with the progress she has made in high school despite not achieving a boyfriend.

>>758102

>love interest

>he

I think this manga would burn if they did that.

>>758065

>Ucchi is just as judgemental, hypocritical, and delusional as Tomoko.

She's only recently adopting these things. Tomo was born in them. There's no way she could make Kii's heart skip a beat the way Tomo can.

>>758106

I'm waiting for Mako to make her move and Ucchi to have a mental breakdown.

>>758111

Why would a girl so pure she gets giddy about mouse land ever consider forbidden love?

>>758108

We know nothing about her backstory, yet.

>>758120

Purest form of love.

>>753669

I just realize theres was a drawing mistake in the 3rd image. The reflection on the mirror is wrong, that's like basic drawing 101. Does the mangaka draw everything by herself? Even hentai mangaka have background artist to help them.

>>758106

The fat guy from the early chapter made a comeback after all these years, I'm sure it got something with Tomoko.

Also, where the fuck is the next chapter? I thought it was weekly release

Ucchi's moment in this chapter made me laugh. I guess the author is trying to show off more of the other characters spaghetti dropping instead of just of Tomoko. I'm still getting some enjoyment out of it anyway as opposed to some people.

>>761288

My only complaint is that since it's covering such a big cast now, individual characters get a lot less time in the spotlight. The solution is to make more Watamote.

>>761326

no

>>761326

She's not in agony so no.

>>761288

I think it's better than it was before. We need more yuri harem series.

>>761311

Every character needs a spinoff, like Tomomote.

>>761344

Well I'm certainly having a great time too but i understand why others dislike it, as it is a far call from the constant gutpunch from the early chapters.

>>761326

Tomoko looks good in all frames

I just want the mangaka to get to the point and stop making chapters where there are almost as many characters as there are pages.

>>761448

Reminds me of Otokojuku when at some point we had 12 good guys competing against 12 named villains at the same time.

>>761564

>Tomoko is not the focus of her own manga.

She's like a harem MC right now. Are you implying that there's anything wrong with that?

>It's not like there aren't a thousand other SoLs that are way better at portraying autistic sluts

Well, there aren't.

>they'll make a Christmas special with all the side characters and zero personal space for the heroine

Actually, that would be great. Tomoko already has enough development, now it's the other girls' turn.

>>761311

>My only complaint is that since it's covering such a big cast now, individual characters get a lot less time in the spotlight

If you only focus on individual chapter then yes, it seem that cramming too many characters gonna be hard to flesh them out but thats not the style of watamote story telling. The characters are fleshed out with multiple chapters. The event happened is one chapter could lead to another event in a different chapter. This style of writing is what I like about watamote because its so different and refreshing. For example in the new chapter, theres multiple setup for future chapters, what happened to Yoshida, character development for fang girl where she realize she doesn't actually have any real friends, Nemo's friend feeling left out. Tomoko seems taller and cuter in this chapter?

>>761277

Wow, some anon from previous thread actually called this out.

>>761286

Why are you posting these out of order?

Anyway, Ucchi being this brave just won my heart. I'm 100% rooting for her now.

Also, what was that glance from Yoshida? Just what is she thinking to herself?

>>761326

I get what you're noticing. She looks "focused", "self confident" and "nice", which in this context mean she doesn't have a look of complete absentmindedness or 100% anxious self awareness or complete spite. She looks like a fairly trustworthy character from another manga.

>>761564

>I think I'll drop this piece of shit if the mangaka makes yet another chapter where Tomoko is not the focus of her own manga.

She's called Tomo. What do you expect?

>>761677

>She looks like a fairly trustworthy character from another manga.

I think she just feel confident around her friends like when she hang out Yuu chan, she still act awkward around Nemo and uncomfortable when surrounded by many peoples.

>>761287

>Dat last page

creepy stalker stare

jealousy attack.

Anyone also notice that Yoshida changed her mind AFTER seeing Tomoko is in the group?

Perhaps she liked being groped by Tomoko?

>>761677

>>761753

It's probably because she thinks they understand what nezumi land is all about, rather than her delinquent friends who she had a scuffle with, probably because one of them insulted the mouse.

WHY IS THIS BIWEEKLY?!! WHY ONLY NINE PAGES?!!

I know she is drawing like nine fucking series at the same time but jesus fuck cut back on those so that you do more with what you have here. It much as I enjoy the others watamote is just leagues beyond. No matter how you look at it nine pages is just too short.

>>761983

Mabye we should send her some penis pics for motivation. I honestly didn't know she had any other series.

>>753738

>thinks

You mean "knows" anon.

>>761983

watamote isn't very financially profitable anymore

>>761469

delinquent girl is best girl.

>>762620

It hasn't been since the start, it heavily relied on foreigners buying it. I guess its editors just decided that they wanted a bigger share of the market and made it into this sterile SoL.

>when you've lost your way so hard that doujins do a better job with the characters and setting than you do

>>762837

I get what you're saying considering it fits the original premise a lot better, but at this point it kind of makes sense for Tomoko to grow up, relax a bit and make some friends. It's been the logical conclusion of her story arc since the beginning. On one hand it could have been more like welcome to the nhk but on the other its kind of nice seeing the story come to an end. Face it anon, its simply the end of Watamote, that's why it is the way it is now

>>762851

>conclusion

>the end

Then why is Watamote still going?

>>762855

She has to finish high school and just jumping to her graduation would be a bit jarring.

>>762982

>Funnily enough, she's only been going to trips, the opening ceremony and the occasional group meetup. Almost zero scenes in the environments that define Watamote, AKA her classroom and her room.

Good point, but I think the reason for that is, while just jumping to her graduating would be jarring, they also want to end this fast, so instead of doing several standard class day chapters they're doing these event chapters showing the year is progressing.

Having a bunch of classroom and room chapters in between the events would probably just make things worse at this point. Watamote has to end soon and they know it.

>>762990

And if they really, really wanted to be done and over with it, couldn't they just made the chapters where Tomoko supposedly makes friends more poignant in nature and ended it on a "finally, after all this time, after all this struggle, I'm a high schooler for real" and end it on her going into her third year but with actual friends or popularity? We know they're just trying to rush everything through, why not make it even better by contrasting the fact she missed out on the class rep wanting to be friends with her with the fact that she now has friends that sort of care about her?

>>763000

Maybe there's something planned for when she graduates.

I doubt it but we'll see.

>>762982

>her room

She has a lot of social life, scenes of her in her room would be such a waste, unless her friend visits.

>old watamote is better than nu-watamote

Hey Brendan, looks to me like you're on the wrong side of history.

>>762990

The manga will probably go on until at least chapter 200. However, they need to cram in character conflicts instead of just Tomoko's internal conflicts as usual.

How would you develop Tomoko if keeping her as a total social failure with no friends or ending it are out of question?

>>763408

You either don't, because this is the 2D world and you can get away with that kind of thing, or you develop her in a realistic way that doesn't involve her turning from a unique and relatable main character into an insignificant yuri harem MC.

>>762817

Mizusawa Ayumu, according to the second page. Who that is, I have no idea. Watamote Anthology is a doujin, written and drawn by various fans.

Here's the rest: https://mangarock.com/manga/mrs-serie-271158

>>763468

How is having a clique unrealistic? It's not harem in a literal way, it's technically just her school trip friends + a creepy lesbo and a weeb pal.

>>764214

>How is having a clique unrealistic?

>spends literally 0 minutes of her life socializing but on a school trip

>suddenly there's at least seven people who know who she is and want to hang out with her

>she remembers the names of all of them despite having called one of her closest acquaintances Komi-something-san throughout her life

>no emotional conflict for being left alone and no talks about vidya outside of maybe the UFO catcher scene

Really stimulates my cerebellum

>>763408

Technically speaking, it's a good thing that Tomoko is not acting like a complete retard any longer when confronted with other people, but I would have expanded on the School Trip arc to feature more emotionally significant moments for the group. As it stands right now, they have 0 common interests, maybe barring emoji-tan getting a feeling so complicated and and Yuri understanding how Tomoko is just as much of a loner as she is. I would have probably made Tomoko socialize with one of the characters (most likely Yuri since they share the same base personality or the delinquent as she's the most likely to have niche hobbies) as the result of a situation developing because of Tomoko's autism and giving her a few chapters to open up to her new friends. I really liked the part where she tears up after learning the class rep that watched over her for two years never even got the chance to tell her her name, so maybe that could have been an opportunity for a chapter where she comes to the realization that it's her last year (back at her room that is) and that she can't leave high school with no memories at all - maybe flashing back to the painfully cringeworthy shit that happened all throughout.

Also, her clique is really shit at the moment. Nemo aside (she's the alpha bitch and Final Boss of Watamote after all), none of the characters seem to think that highly of Tomoko, yet they still band together because daddy author needs his salary and can't have that with an underselling niche cringe comedy series, ain't no way in hell they're becoming the next Nichijou no sir.

I wouldn't necessarily end Watamote after high school either, I'd probably reboot the series with another title with Tomoko either in her university (with twice the cringe but more clichè drama/romance) or just as a literal shut in.

>>764292

>spends literally 0 minutes of her life socializing but on a school trip

She has lunch and walks home with Yuri and Mako everyday and has been sitting next to Nemo since the first half of 1st year. Yoshida also occasionally walks home with them. Not every moment has to be happen on screen, you can assume that most of the socializing are just insignificant routines. For 2nd year only, it's more than 300 days of socialization skimmed into 50-60 chapters.

>suddenly there's at least seven people who know who she is and want to hang out with her

>suddenly

>she remembers the names of all of them despite having called one of her closest acquaintances Komi-something-san throughout her life

She never cared about Komi in particular, only Yuu does.

>>764292

>suddenly there's at least seven people who know who she is and want to hang out with her

What's so strange about that?

All it takes for people to know who you are is for you to do something that will get people talking. Tomoko is an autistic spaz that has done more than enough to be well known. At the same time her behavior is erratic enough and the situations are such that different people have a different mental image of her. She's a mistery to some of them.

>>764230

Well, that's it, time to move on to better series. Call me when it either ends or goes back to being good again.

>>767170

>this faggot again

No, I'll never call you.

>>767177

Sure you will, you're the one who keeps getting a hard on for seeing this terrible new series up front in the catalog, willingly or not you'll call us all here.

Nemo has finally gotten her nickname. Also, as somebody else noticed, Yoshida seems the most normal.

>>767181

You mean Mako. Yoshida is overjoyed like a 5 year old girl.

>>767190

Mako is a crazy lesbo.

>>767194

They're all crazy lesbos. This manga should be called Crazy Lesbos.

Let's get serious about Yuri here. When exactly did she tie her hopes to Tomo? This doesn't even go into the whole argument about lesbos becasue this isn't an expression of any love rivalry. Uchi gets mad when she sees something that looks like intimacy but Yuri gets so hurt whenever she sees any kind of familiarity between Tomo and someone else. Being a character with no inner monologues really is effective when it comes to keeping a wall between her and the other. Just what is this girl thinking? She's got Mako so never was a total loner anyway. Why is she so hurt about Tomo having friends?

Also did you see we got fucking 12 pages this time? It's making a comeback I's tell ya.

>>767135

>She waved to the animatronic animals.

Thank you, I would have missed that if you hadn't said it. 200% pure confirmed, which after all this time means she also has an immunity buff to Tomo's autism.

>>767170

>time to move on to better series

See you tomorrow.

Being anime only is such a smug feeling right now.

This chapter was great, it's definitely a different series from what it was in the beginning, but I like socially retarded yuri adventures very much.

>>767215

Despite what a lot of people are saying, I think these chapters are pretty enjoyable.

That was such a good chapter. I hope the next one is Yuri apologizing to Nemo.

>>767222

Feel free to leave. The door is there --> /fag/

>>767311

That's Ucchi trying to mimic ●△●

>>767117

Where is translator anon when we need it?

>>767651

That link is to the translation, anon.

>That's it, I'm leaving this series.

>Oh am I ever leaving it.

>Right. Now.

>Out the door... won't see me again.

>Did I say I was leaving?

Will you faggots shut up about it? You sound like disgruntled patreons of some e-celeb.

yuri looks likes she's gonna hang herself

>>767251

I thought the pic was from a doujin, but its actually in the latest chapter, what the fuck? is Nemo an actual lesbo? this is borderline weird obsession

>>768091

>those dead black eyes

Well, looks like we've got another Kii-chan on our hands.

Any good yuri hentai given recent developments?

>>768086

She's just messing with Tomoko.

It's not fair- I want to know the Yuri

WHEN IS THE NEW CHAPTER?

Here's cuckchan's translation if you'd like.

https://pastebin.com/06dj4QcW

>>774468

Yuri needs to be bullied more.

>>774465

I thought Tomoko social interaction was bad, Yuri is even worst, what an inconsiderate bitch, at least Tomoko aware of her surrounding and trying her best to adapt, no matter how bad the outcome is.

World3's translation is out.

>>774692

Had some legit laughs out of this chapter.

Shows at entertainment places where they pick out audience members are annoying as hell. Whenever I had to go to a place like that on school or family field trips, I'd always use somebody else as a shield/cover. This chapter really nailed that sense of anxiety/irritation.

>>774692

>>774694

>>774701

>>774732

>Because, I already have someone I love

She has accepted it. My heart skipped a beat. She's so brave.

>>774732

I went to one once in a school tour in a theme park when I was 4 or so. I barely remember anything from my early childhood but I remember this episode really well. There were kids from nursery school all the way up to around 10 years old, all from the same school. They brought the kids to the same show, the room was themed like an African hut, and at some point during the show one of the actors "transformed" into a gorilla, went down the stage and got really close to the audience. All the young kids, me included, started crying so much they had to move everyone out (I believe they had to stop the show because it was dark in there too and they had to turn the lights on).

Fucking extroverts assuming everyone will have a good time in shows where the actors interact with the audience are bad enough, but bringing small children to that thing was even worse.

All my other memories of shows like that are also bad, but none will top that gorillaman shitshow.

>>775088

Didn't show any doubt or embarrassment either, I loved that. I don't think there's any chance for a yuri ending though, this is all played for comedy.

>>774486

Tomoko is one of those people who lack total self awareness of their actions, when their self awareness develops their social skills will naturally improve. I should know.

>>775159

Please unlike that dick obsessed whore, Yoshida really is a kind hearted girl who likes cute things.

>>775140

>I don't think there's any chance for a yuri ending though, this is all played for comedy.

30 chapters ago I would agree, but at this rate of Ucchi's progression I seriously doubt that. Watamote might be a lighthearted manga, but unlike your average comedy SOL, everything that happens in it has a serious impact on the plot and character development. Was it even comedic when Ucchi said that she has someone she loves? I believe there's even a possibility that Ucchi and Tomoko will be in a relationship before the manga ends.

>>775218

>Was it even comedic when Ucchi said that she has someone she loves?

Pretty much this. There was no gag in that exchange with Kowarith on either side. Kowarith just asks her name and if she wants to be his girlfirend, she just replies with her name and told him she already has someone she loves. It felt more like the authors felt it was time to give her a full name and also wanted to answer what people had been wondering regarding Ucchi and whether or not she has realized her attraction toward Tomoko or is still in denial and making rationalizations.

The obvious gag would have been Ucchi shooting the proposition down without thinking and then trying to rationalize (mostly to herself) why the situation with Tomoko would prevent her from getting into a relationship if it isn't attraction. Since they didn't I too get the feeling they had already felt they were satisfied with milking the confusing obsession with lesbian overtones for gags and wanted to try doing something else with it, like they seem to have done with the rest of the series when some aspect of it threatened to become stale. That something else seems to be Ucchi accepting what she is and moving on from obsessive stalking to the beginnings of some kind of obsessive and awkward courting.

>>775318

>>775218

That looked very much like deadpan comedy to me.

>>775363

The creepy girl that gropes you and blatantly insults you is a better friend then the group you've been hanging out with for so long.

>>775363

"Delinquent" best character.

I want to see more Tomoko "accidents"

>Two new hardcore Dyke Watamote doujins

https://exhentai.org/g/1161211/08e6cc4b59/

Warning, hairy, filth, sexual domination, humiliation and Emoji being a deskchan.

>One is Emoji coming out the closet

yeaaaah nigga.

https://exhentai.org/g/1085218/384a5d9fe7/

>>776019

>Warning, hairy

Aw yeah, I was waiting for that one. Would have preferred it, if it involved more more Emoji and armpit hair.

>>776028

It's pretty emotional. It shows how far Emoji has come from someone who actively avoids and badmouths Tomoko due to her self denial, to someone who bravely declares her love publicly. Just because it's not a sappy melodrama doesn't mean it's not emotional. I mean, are you incapable of seeing things beyond funny or not funny? I never consider Tomoko's obliviousness of her surrounding to be comedy, its just a way of creating and developing the character for us to get invested in.

>>776474

I believe you're reading too much into this. Calling this emotional with that justification you gave is a pretty big stretch. It's funny and it's cute but I wouldn't say it's much else besides that.

>>776493

I'm not saying that there's anything to it beyond what it appears. It sure is cute, but there's more to that. It's like watching your child growing up to become something. If you just want to see some cute, go read a million of cookie cutter CGDCT's out there. Watamote is great due to it's characterization.

>>776507

I never said I read it because it was a manga about cute girls. I read watamote because it's a manga about autism and Tomoko's slow recovery from its crippling effects. I even like the latest chapters that focus more on other characters that a lot of people here seem to hate. I'm just saying in this specific instance you're seeing things that aren't there. This isn't an emotional moment, it might show growth of sorts with Uchi putting into words what everyone here knows (but her knowing she likes Tomoko isn't something new either), but in the end it's just a small funny deadpan comedy scene.

Have you ever heard of situations where a critic try to dissect a writer's work, they write some lengthy piece about how when the writer wrote X he actually meant Y, and then the writer comes out and say "no, when I wrote X I meant X". I think this is what's going on here.

>>776510

>her knowing she likes Tomoko isn't something new either

What is new is her saying to everyone that she loves someone.

>Have you ever heard of situations where a critic try to dissect a writer's work, they write some lengthy piece about how when the writer wrote X he actually meant Y, and then the writer comes out and say "no, when I wrote X I meant X". I think this is what's going on here.

I'm not like that. I'm just saying that watching someone change into a better person due to a certain circumstances is emotional in itself.

Uhm, 1 vote for own thread. I will wait until the end of this day to read more thoughts of the anons.

I agree, you should make a new thread.

This thread is less than 50 posts before it's bump limit and many anons might not even notice that you are posting this.

>>777412

And you just posted a very good reason for a new thread. So be it. I am making it now.

>>777382

Is it about Tomoko Shiroki?

>>776028

Yay! More of ●△●. By the way, fang-tan is a faggot bitch like always.

What's up with the strangelbear?

>>783093

The bear wasn't trying to strangle them, Ucchi grabbed both his arms and pulled them together as tight as possible so she and Tomoko could be squeezed closer.

>>783101

And Yuri was crushing his arm out of jealous rage.

>>783078

She and Tomoko are only good at FPS not with 3D guns.

I guess the manga title is about Minami now.

>>753673

I thought the girl there was Ucchi from the thumbnails. She has the same hair style. Like literally the exact same.

>>783197

Forget Tomoko, make Minami the new main character right now. That or start the bullying arc with Minami as the mastermind.

>>783188

>Delinquent-chan is swearing

>>783236

She seems pretty isolated from the rest of the class. Except for yuri's friend.

You people are monsters.

>>783188 (heiled)

You stole my line. Also bro points to Mako for keeping on protecting that smile. What's gonna happen after dark?

>>783261

Tomoko has pretty much humiliated herself so much everyone else in her class is used to it, and the rest know her personally so Minami's attempts at putting down her social inferior to try and elevate herself isn't going to work. Plus those two aren't the type to go out of their way to bully others one actively tried to include Tomoko and the other doesn't like her but actually tried to help her from what she thought was bullying once.

I wonder if Tanigawa plays or watches PUBG. As far as I know that's the only shooter popular in Japan that features sight zeroing.

The absolute state of the watamote community

>>783261

iirc, all her friends got into a different class. I dont know about japanese highschool culture but students from different class rarely interact with each other for whatever reason.

>>786122

>I dont know about japanese highschool culture but students from different class rarely interact with each other for whatever reason.

It's simple. Hse has to spend all day with the people in her class and would only be able to see her friends during break time(wich means having to walk over to their classroom) or after school.

I don't really know much about american high school but it seems like it's different in those since the class doesn't matter too much. Who you see depends more on which courses you take, right?

>>786187

In American schools it's basically a combination of public vs private education, urban vs rural, and how banal the teachers are. You will constantly be moving around different classrooms through the day depending on the courses you take though.

Oh boy, the new chapter should be out in moonland. W3 streamed the last translation but hopefully they aren't gonna hold it off until the weekend when they'll have more time or some gay shit. What's gonna befall poor Minami?

Also someone do a torfriend a favor and post We're going back in, aren't we ...

Fucking raws are out. There's drama inbound.

>>788571

She's showing her, her friend's voice acting with porn videos.

I just read it. Jesus fuck, what the fuck is Nemo's problem???

>>788612

Nemo sexually enjoys torturing girls.

>>788571

Laughed at the Crayon Shin-chan line.

Good chapter despite the drama page.

>>788777

I'm getting Ayase vibes from dis bitch.

ONE OF US

WHERE IS THE NEW CHAPTER!!

>>789112

More or less, but the biggest (anime) VAs don't tend to have porn connected to them. From what I've seen it kind of appears like there's a mild divide between seiyuus that do eroge/hentai and those that can afford not to; I think you're somewhat less likely to land big roles if you have an eroge, and especially hentai background.

>>789115

You can check that yourself easily, can't you?

>>789118

I did, nothing come up

>>789122

On VNDB? They're on there. Koorogi did a lot of eroge, rest only a couple.

>The slice-of-life gag comedy centers around Tomoko Kuroki, a girl who thought she would be popular when she went to high school. However, she was in for a rude awakening because cruel reality is not like the otome games (romance games for female players) she plays.

Not anymore, its fucking harem. also, thread hit bump limit, go make a new thread with a new chapter you homo

>>789199

New chapter isn't for another 3 weeks.

I'd wait till we reach page 9 or 10 before new thread.

>>753760

>>753768

>>753770

>>753777

You just don't get it. The early chapters in this series made my stomach turn. It was so awkward seeing her suffering through social events. Now she's a fucking comedy-relief thot. The series killed it's own main character by turning her into a schizophrenic who hangs out with other people but just says wacky goofy things.

>>789918

>waaah everything has to appeal to me and only me

So what if the recent chapters aren't trying to make your stomach turn? The cringeworthy chapters have been overdone and now they're trying something new, and it's successful. This is like comparing Beavis and Butthead to King of the Hill, they have different appeal but that doesn't mean one is worse than the other.

>>789918

I like both.

Tomoko has grown somewhat.
