Genuinely burst out laughing when they shojo'd the squirrel. Excellent gag.

I already adore this cozy sweetie. 10/10, no notes.
One of the best first impressions in a LONG time, hot damn.

What do you mean short?
It was 19 pages again, dummies.
Turn off your ADHD brain and read slower.
Take in the creepy scene of hide and seek in real time, instead of speed scrolling.

Y'know what? Introducing a girl that loves how crowded this group is... that's genius.

The silent reaction panels made me laugh almost every time. Great example of effective simple comedy.

Completely worth the wait.
My eyes have been blessed.
Referenced or not, kudos to Nozawa for the sheer variety of clothing on display!

This is one heck of a cultured chapter.

Did... did Rentarou just throw shade at the online critics that the first season drew in?
That's pretty good lol

Also, my heart is now a puddle after witnessing so much adorable Ahko smooching.
Top shelf girlfriend fr fr.

Lovely interview. That was nice to read, as a superfan of both series.

As an Englishman, this chapter had me HOWLING with laughter multiple times.
Thank you, translators. Thank you so much.

This lad's catch rate puts Ash to shaaaaaaaame!

I love how newer characters are often paired up or mixed with older ones,
which means no one gets neglected or left behind like with most series.
The author is very clever and thoughtful.

This manga is my favourite method of acquiring serotonin.
The Gintama of romcoms.
Wacky and wild, yet often wholesome and earnest.

The girls all stand out from each other thanks to excellent character designs and unique quirks,
and they also manage to repeatedly develop and grow their relationships with each other,
while ALSO passing the Bechdel test over and over and over again.

And if I were to describe the MC, Rentarou...
Firstly, picture a stereotypical harem protag that's weak, spineless, needlessly perverted, fickle/temptable, puts in minimal effort for what he has, never seems like he earns the company he keeps.

Now picture a harem protag that's the polar opposite.
Determined, fiercely protective, steadfast and loyal, capable of superhuman feats on the daily, and consistently devoted to encouraging his girls and making them feel happy every day (often helping them significantly in terms of their character development or personal circumstances in the process. Unlike typical harems where dull compliments are enough, this protag actually puts in WORK to maintain deeper connections.).

That's our boy, Rentarou. The absolute unit of a boyfriend who completely outshines his competition.
He'll seem pretty ordinary at the start of the story, but you'll see over time that he gets more and more ridiculous, an absolute monster of love.

And by the end of it, you'll almost wish that you could join his harem yourself.

Chiyo swallows Dad, huh...
Looking forward to (if it ever gets this far) anime-only viewers responding to this exchange lmao

As a 31 year old who still hasn't worked a single day in his 13 years since finishing education,
I find this girl to be the most relatable character I've ever encountered.
Bless you, author.
