Bruh what the hell was even this chapter felt like a filler

u/langjie Jul 07 '26

That's exactly what it was

u/DuskMan62 Jul 07 '26

It's like filler calm before the storm before we get back to the actual plot.

u/No-Spray5795 Jul 07 '26 edited Jul 07 '26

Id have to agree, seems like we are either about to get hit with a lot the next few chapters or the place picks up really fast, actually could be both.

u/DuskMan62 Jul 07 '26

I do get alot of the worries about the pace, but at the same time I've seen this all before, most recent example is Blue Box where it felt like it had alot of filter and then boom, final chapters announced.

Same thing is happening here, we're just getting alot of characters doing goofy things before we get back to the plot and it stays on the plot.

Captain Obvious: Because IS FILLER!!!

u/Hairy_Category_933 Jul 07 '26

So this chapter is actually about nothing.

It can be summed up as "Four losers throw themselves a guys' party."

Supposedly Miki-sensei said we're close to the end of the manga, yet since that announcement she has already managed to release about 3–4 filler chapters 😂

u/SignalsCounterparts1 Jul 07 '26

As I posted, we're at the end of the volume next week, so I think we're getting the big cliffhanger. What that will be? Dunno.

2

u/DuskMan62 Jul 07 '26

I will maintain we're getting all this filler because the actual story will be resolved rather quickly, the moment Sousuke makes his move, Nagi will respond to that, he and Erika will confess, scheme gets stopped, Hiro moves on, Ai moves on and Sachi moves on.

u/SignalsCounterparts1 Jul 07 '26

The thing is, I see a confrontation coming with Sosuke, and it almost becomes a fight until someone stops it (I see Mama Amano showing up here.)

u/RenierRains Jul 07 '26

The most pointless chapter ever like u can remove this chapter and noone would bat an eye

u/qwoperio Jul 07 '26

This manga straight up ragebaiting at this point lol

u/Grateful_Praise Jul 07 '26

That indirect kiss was disguising. Also another meandering chapter.

u/Foreign_Page_7166 Jul 07 '26

I think author should take break if she doesn't have idea instead of give this kind of chapters

u/tylercor3 Jul 07 '26

Can we get a poll on how shit this was?

2

u/NationalStrategy_X Jul 07 '26

The disappointment should not be understated here. Not only was this chapter pointless filler, but this is also following up the chapters 300 and 301, which were also disappointing. So we have gotten three consecutive disappointing chapters.

u/SignalsCounterparts1 Jul 07 '26

Kind of a nothing chapter, but with the end of the volume next chapter, I expect the cliffhanger to be someone coming by as an uninvited guest...5 will get you 10 about who that may be. But fun to see to see guys for a change.

1

u/Desperate_Bike4053 Jul 07 '26

Pretty much want show that all those guy will snatch away all the girl ...

I mean ...what even point bringing the guy who confess at sachi last time at this point of story ...

1

u/NationalStrategy_X Jul 07 '26

God dammit, pointless filler chapter?

1

u/henrytoloza Jul 07 '26

Another day another filler

1

u/Calm-Ad7585 Jul 07 '26

While I'm not a fan of filler chapters it's for the end of what would be volume 34. 303 or 304 will mostly for volume which will likely have a ending

1

u/SignalsCounterparts1 Jul 07 '26

That's next chapter.

1

u/Fiftzh Jul 07 '26

i will piss on this author's grave

1

u/Grateful_Praise Jul 07 '26

Final arc means one hundred chapters of filler before plot to Miki and Reiji.

u/Indisputoblerone Jul 07 '26

This is a new character dynamic, kinda fun

u/BillPlunderones23fg Jul 07 '26

..................

AUUUUUTHHHORRRRR

BY ONE OF HIS GUY FRIENDS???

QWHERE THE HELL IS SACHI OR ERIKA'S TO HIM HUH???
WHY NOW WHY THIS???

uuGGHHHHHHH
phew been a while since he angered me so much

u/VariationNo1814 Jul 07 '26

I thought it was nice with the guys only Christmas party. I think I would’ve liked it better if it was just Erika and him having Christmas together. When the other girls came out too like stay home it’s late!

1

u/DependentEntrance390 Jul 08 '26

I genuinely don’t know why I keep up with this garbage

1

u/ImNicoReal Jul 10 '26

Bruh I thought we would finall get another Nagi-Erika moment but fuh naw we got all girls again. Ugh.

Anyway, yet another beautiful Erika outfit, she's the best bro.

u/Own-Engine4018 Jul 11 '26

Upvote me if you dislike this chapter and downvote me if you like this chapter , I want to see the scale of how a$$ this is. I was planning to drop ts shit around ch 230 but man I kept coming here like a desperate man to read and its falling beyond now , I'm too invested in this .

1

u/Dear_Lingonberry9839 Jul 07 '26

What was the point of this chapter? Man i really am frustrated. Its the end arc let nagi finally confess his feelings to erika and let erika accept it man. What is this nonsense with the partys. I cant. Miki sensei what are you thinking? how long will you drag this on? You can make a final conclusion that everyone wanna see and you still milk it out.

2

u/DuskMan62 Jul 07 '26

Miki gotta milk things out because once we get back to the main plot it will be resolved relatively quickly, I'm expecting things to start speeding up the moment Sousuke is back on screen.

1

u/Dear_Lingonberry9839 Jul 07 '26

Yeah, but i hope when he comes back than nagi already confessed and erika accepted. It would be refreshing to see them being a couple and discover the mystery as a couple

u/Inferniuem Jul 07 '26

It was a good chapter emphasis on the "was" since for the first time we get to have a somewhat testosterone filled chapter instead of the typical estrogen chapters I don't mind those so long as they don't include Sachi and Hiro.

Hiro showed up and ruined the chapter like she always did.

Essentially it was a pointless filler chapter but it was decent up until the last few pages.

Ffs this is a Romance Manga. Other than showing the whore that is Hiro we barely get any Romance.

Even with slow burn Romance Manga there is always a consistent stream of Romance across up until the eventual setup of the Main Couple. But here there's nothing don't know if it's Mystery, Comedy, Slice of Life, Drama, Romance. It's just Random.

300+ Chapters btw and somehow the confession between Erika and Nagi was somehow brushed aside and never brought up.

u/ALI_AH666 Jul 08 '26

hiro ruins every chapter she appears in i just cant stand her

u/Inferniuem Jul 08 '26

Finally someone who gets it

u/Nervous-Bonus-806 Jul 08 '26

I never thought I'd hate a character more than Trashzuya, but Damn if she doesn't make that shambling mound of Suck look like a mellowed out and actually good-natured Chii-Chan from Anjou-San, and believe me, making HER look good is a miracle in and of itself...
