Thread for random romcoms you're reading. Trash welcomed.
Cuck shit not welcome and nice selection you posted OP The Landmine one is good
Words can't explain how fucking pathetic she is and also how the hell is she so fucking blind when most of his peers already know he's the same person without the thick ass clothes. Also it's very convenient the mangaka took a 1-month break after this chapter, citing health issue, as if he didn't already run out of ideas how to keep it going.

tsuruko is ending in 2 chapters. sucks because I liked it but there was really nowhere else to go with the plot. not even sure it's a romcom at this point because it seems like they aren't ending up together. guess it was axed
>>29524 I remember when this started, it looked cute. Put it in my backlog and forgot about it. How many chapters did it get?
Anyone reading the otaku one? I thought the new girl was going to be part of the harem, but seems like she has an otaku herself I dont see who will win in the end either
>>29617 38 as of right now
>>29680 Yeah. I'm enjoying it. I'm glad the new girl is just another classmate but has the role of confronting to other girls. I don't know who will win either. The most recent chapter had the girls talking about a 3P end jokingly. They say they're fine with being just friends with him to each other but when they're alone with him they start acting otherwise.
Hitomi-chan is ending next chapter. Truly the end of an era. Sad no anime adaptation though (or is it?)
>>29680 And will the brothers get cucked? They have a long battle ahead
>>29873 >Hitomi-chan is already ending Holy shit, I guess I should pick it back up.

you know what i have realized after rewatching some older romcoms? that a romcom existing for the sake of the romcom alone is just meh the actual substance comes from the underlying character drama haganai and oregairu started plenty cliche and shit, but what elevated them and made them truly memorable and genre-defining works was the character drama and development, for which the romance was just a driving force nowadays it feels like authors don't really do that anymore, feels like they just focus on the who ends with whom, without giving the characters any more depth

>>30236 I hope you're watching danjo
>>30340 i haven't watched it, normally when a story starts on the premise that X already likes Y it's just setting itself up for failure, since there's not much space for feelings to grow and develop if they're already there from the get-go childhood friends are some of the biggest offenders, but if you feel the series really deserves a chance i might check it out
>danjo Dont shill that trash here you subhuman cuck Disgusting blue whore
>>30236 Some romcoms that are good have the main couple get together early.
>>30236 >a romcom existing for the sake of the romcom alone is just meh Those usually are just self-inserting garbage and just devolve to the usual manic pixie girl crap or MC fixing the girl and getting rewarded with a gf
>>30782 Instead of... literally the same except with drama written by someone who's never been in a relationship or even had friends.
>>30807 >Instead of No, that's the kind of drama the self-inserter crap gets, that's why the best romcoms either have a plot other than just the main couple getting together or focus on MC's own development and the relationship is left for the end
>>30918 Except this >>30236 mentions oregairu and haganai both of which perfectly fit that description. Oregairu is just embarassing in a >I can't believe a human being wrote this way.
>>30929 Oregairu mostly focuses on how the casts solve other people's problems and MC's changing his worldview, the relationship drama is mostly a side-plot until the very end
>>30236 The problem with "romance focused romcoms" is how the romance gets stretched into oblivion, good stories needs development and this means a good romance focused story can't be too long, this is particularly clear when the couple gets together early and then they're ten volumes later still feeling nervous about holding hands
