Utaha is good, she and Megumi have the best and most memorable scenes in the series. Eriri's purpose on the other hand is to be the source of forced drama that brings an otherwise fun and relaxed series down. Her arcs are the worst, and logically, she's also the least popular heroine.

Megumi's charm is the fact that her feelings toward Tomoya are ambiguous even for the creators. She is an enigma.

>>144549730
There isn't any other valid answer.

I thought Saekano was about a girl who is actually a weapon of mass destruction and slaughters hundreds of people while trying to keep a stable relationship

>>144549830
Then a lot of her charm is gone now, because Maruto has made it way too obvious she loves him. Though considering how Maruto's writing has gone to crap since Volume 7 ended, it wouldn't surprise me if he's just bullshitting at this point. Personally I think now is a good time for Megumi to be more overt with her feelings but we need more dere Megumi, not mad Megumi.

>>144549968
He's avoiding dere Megumi because that would make Eriri and Utaha jealous of her, detracting from his plot points in volume 10.

>>144550425
Utaha was already jealous Megumi was sleeping over at his house.

>>144549968
>because Maruto has made it way too obvious she loves him.
I'm really not seeing it. For all we know she is only acting like the overbearing 2D heroine Tomoya wanted. She has been aware of Tomoya's feelings since volume 7 (or even before) and her character never stopped being reserved and composed, until Tomoya made it too obvious for her through his Eriri route that he still loves Eriri and she took the opportunity to tease him.

>>144551054
Huh, it wasn't mentioned in the summary.

>>144551668
I think she will probably never make a move on Tomoya until he gets over Eriri. She's too aware that the guy refuses to move the fuck on and would be abandoned in a heartbeat for Eriri.

But she's not even trying to raise flags with Tomoya. She just keeps doing her passive aggressive act. Tomoya has been in love with Eriri since elementary school, Megumi should know if she wants to win, she has to act now.

Would Megumi have stuck to any guy who had showered her with attention?

Her cousin seemed like a nice person. Definitely a better person than the sperglord Tomoya is.

>>144552317
She knows that, but at the same time, I don't think she feels it's particularly worth it. She likes him, but not enough to actually try to move to the next steps. Plus Eriri is in the way, and with what happened in the girls side volume, probably will just keep hanging back.

>>144552317
Megumi doesn't want to win because she doesn't love Tomoya.

>>144552342
Probably. She was really lonely.

>>144551708

Yes. Shes has no friends and is basically a loner

Eriri and Tomoya will never be together.

>>144552405
She likes him enough to cook for him and constantly sleep over. After Volume 8 and GS2 I actually thought she was going to go on the offensive.

>>144544139
Megumi is my Megami.

>>144552687
That's not really her style. She pretty much backs away because of Eriri. She hasn't really received any signs that Tomoya likes her in that way either, so there's that. So you got a two step problem for her, the first is Eriri and the second is that Tomoya's own feelings are just unsure. If things go on as they do and Megumi did go after Tomoya, you probably get a WA2 situation, where Tomoya abandons Megumi for Eriri again.

>>144552687
Maybe she doesn't want to be a drama queen and cockblock the other girls. It's not like they are making significant advances on Tomoya either.

>>144552787
The only real problem would be the fallout from Eriri, but if they managed to make up after V7, they can make up again. Just because Tomoya doesn't have feelings for her now doesn't mean that can't be changed later.

>>144552866
Eriri is actually getting a lead. Megumi has stagnated.

>>144553077
Considering how often Tomoya forgives Eriri and is still so in love with her, Megumi is probably finding it pointless to forge forward. It's discouraging when the guy you like keeps going back to the girl who keeps hurting him.

She's doing it on purpose. Megumi will be happy for her best friend Eriri to reach a romantic conclusion with the love of her life who also happens to be profoundly in love with her. She's so selfless and kind. A cupid. Her jealous act helps Tomoya to stop being indecisive and choose what his heart truly wants.

>>144544139

>>144554572
It can. Volume 8 is proof. Fans are actually disappointed on how out of place the current focus on Utaha is and the new circle being put on the back burner.

>>144554697
What's memorable about vol 8?

>>144554960
Izumi telling Eriri off. Utaha being perverted. Iori shutting Megumi down. Every Tomoya x Megumi moment, the best being the date.

>>144555215
Izumi is a fucking joke.

>>144555416
She will remove Eriri.

>>144555571
The only thing she does is trying to shit on Eriri.

>>144555416
>Apparently, after hearing that she entered a game circle, her friends (named Mina Nozaki & Manami Furuhashi) were interested to hear more about the circle. Izumi asked Tomoya to explain about the circle to her friends, but Eriri exclaimed that amateurs or people who are not an otaku shouldn’t join. Izumi retorted by laying out the fact that Tomoya was also an amateur who only started a year ago and managed to have his circle’s game released in the Winter Comiket. Eriri wanted to declare that she and Utaha were members of that circle, but lost her strength to do so partway. Both of Izumi’s classmates then revealed that they are actually full-fledged otakus. Completely losing the ‘battle’, Eriri leaved the classroom as Tomoya took off with Izumi’s classmates to explain about the circle.

How bad is it for Eriri to get BTFO by a "joke"?

>>144555732
She BTFO nobody, her friends couldn't stand the pressure of the circle.

>>144555877
She got told off for making wild assumptions and trying to have a say in a decision of a circle she abandoned and has nothing to do with anymore.

>>144555952
And? She was right.

>>144554572
Japan actually hates V9 and 10, the ones that focus on Eriri and Utaha. They preferred V8 and GS2.

>>144556033
She didn't know Izumi's friends were otaku. Even if she was right, it's not her decision to make. She already fucked off and left the circle in ruins. She's hardly the one to talk about proper management.

>>144556129
Gs2 was mostly about Eriri and Megumi.

Megumi will have the most development out of all the girls in the end.

It is normal for secondary heroines to have faster development than the main girl to conclude their character arcs before the endgame, which is of course reseved for the main heroine. Best for last as they say.

>>144557912
Eriri and Tomoya being around each other made the two of them stagnate because they were respectively too comfy/protective and stuck in a rut. It's like mixing business and pleasure whe they were around each other. That's the main issue the author gave.

>>144558322
The spat they had in V10 shows that it's not just a little grudge.

>>144558154
Blame Maruto.

>>144556355
She has nice thighs.

>>144558372
That just makes the main heroine's development rushed. Assuming he ends it at V14 and we get a volume each for Michiru and Izumi, that's only two volumes to develop Megumi.

>>144558389
>spat
It is little. The whole lover spat exchange was both antics and Tomoya and Eriri blowing off steam. And still they get along. Doesn't change the fact the whole ordeal was beneficial to everyone, you know.

>>144558389
>>144558617
Japanese culture is big on the whole people fight and quarrel because they care and are close to each other. What Tomoya and Eriri did was exactly that. Megumi was even used to hammer down the notion of love on Tomoya's side since Tomoya was so insistent because he loves Eriri. No doubt Eriri is the same.

>>144558834

>>144558507
It's the opposite. The development of a main girl is steady, scattered throughout the story. Megumi is always developing - even in arcs where she isn't the main focus, privilege most secondary girls don't have - be it showing previously unknown sides to her character, widening her emotion range or giving subtle details for a stronger characterization.

It is a slow yet solid process of build up. Her development and her role as the main focus of the story will just come full circle in the endgame.

>>144559178
>The development of a main girl is steady, scattered throughout the story.

That'd be nice if it actually happened. Ever since V8 she's had barely anything. Of all the girls in V10, Megumi actually had the least screentime.

>>144558834
It'd be called lover's spat in the West, although it's nowhere as moe and prevalent as Japan's version of it.

>>144559160
Tomoya and Megumi don't have lover's spat-like fights though.

I would say the big turning point will be when he has to choose between Megumi and Eriri. This will probably be once Megumi finally gives up on him and utterly rejects him. Actually, that's just fantasy, but I really want her to just reject him.

She had the best scene in volume 9 though. GS2 was probably the novel where she got the most development. But yeah, volume 10 was odd in that she didn't even have her typical special scene at the end.

>>144559479
Tomoya acting like a henpecked husband to Megumi is more amusing though, since she actually understands him and knows how to push the correct buttons to trigger him, and the power of gap moe has a great effect on Megumi acting like that.

>>144559969
Er, didn't meant to greentext here.

>>144559969
She actually understands him != only she understands him

Though no other girl has Megumi's level of grasp of Tomoya's character. Utaha admitted she understood him the most in GS1.

>Maruto said there will be an anime original beach episode
>A1 is known for messing with source material like with Boku Dake's ending
>Volumes 5 and 6 don't have enough Megumi pandering even though S2 is called Flat

>>144560396
Megumi understands Tomoya to a certain degree, but it's pretty ludicrous to say she understands him the most. Eriri is very intimate with Tomoya, but even she doesn't understand Tomoya as much as she thinks. Utaha is the perceptive one, but she too can't say for certain that she understands Tomoya the most—character ignorance overturned it.

>>144560662
>Utaha is the perceptive one
And she literally said Megumi understands Tomoya the most.

>>144560742
When was that? I don't remember such exact words. In any case, Utaha has been wrong before. Character ignorance is natural part of the writing process when dealing with character perception. From our meta side, it's hard to imagine Megumi understands him the most, especially when she couldn't understand her best friend who's also a Creator and consumer otaku.

>>144560515
It would be dumb to fit in anime original content for Megumi for 6 when it's in her best interest to have little scenes until her scene near the end of volume 7. The impact wouldn't be strong and meaningful if she wasn't put in the back seat until then.

>>144560996
Dude, I said it in my previous post. GS1.

If you haven't realized it, most of Megumi's actions are determined by her understanding of Tomoya. Like in volume 7, she knew Tomoya was depressed and she knew she was the key to end his suffering, and she knew the absolute best way to accomplish that. It's why she was so confident in dressing up and playing the heroine act in the same hill from volume 1 to cheer him up. She knew Tomoya would be happy to see his beloved heroine again and would be motivated to start a new circle. Tomoya also tells Megumi things he would never say to Utaha and Eriri, furthering her knowledge of him. It's why they have such a close and positive relationship. Compare that to Utaha and Eriri, who were suprised to see Tomoya chasing after them again and forgiving them and wishing them luck with Akane. They didn't expect all that.

Eriri is another matter altogether. Megumi thought she understood her when in reality she didn't.

>>144561098
Megumi needs lots of scenes so that when Tomoya doesn't see her for two months, we feel the impact too. More scenes would also help make it more believable she fell for Tomoya. And then there's how she needs scenes to build up her friendship with Eriri.

>Utaha admitted she understood him the most in GS1.
I thought you were talking about Utaha herself here. But yes, the epilogue in GS has such a quote. But again, character ignorance can be wrong, especially from a meta point of view.

Most of the example you give is common sense and understanding of Tomoya on a basic level though. Tomoya's love for the game and the fact Megumi is the inspired heroine he idealized in the game? That's isn't a secret. Cheering up a friend when he's down is simple. Tomoya also say things to Eriri and Utaha that he doesn't say to Megumi. Nobody full understands Tomoya, so acting in a way that isn't expected is only natural.

The drama with Eriri shows Megumi is fallible.

>>144562009
>Cheering up a friend when he's down is simple
The action itself is simple, but knowing the exact moment, the exact place, the exact words, even choosing the exact appearance and getting the expected results is something only someone who understands the other person beyond a basic level can accomplish. It's clear Megumi didn't just want to cheer him up, she wanted to be his heroine again. Healing scenes like this always represent a special understanding bond between the MC and the heroine.

I never said Megumi fully understands Tomoya nor that she is infallible, she just has the best grasp of Tomoya's character. Just like Utaha has the best grasp of Eriri's character.

>>144562610
Nah, Akane understands Eriri best.

>>144562610
That's all pretty basic though. What better way to cheer Tomoya up than to re-act the hill scene that started it all? That kind of thinking.

Either way, each girl have different strengths at understanding Tomoya. Let's say Megumi has a wider grasp, Eriri is more intimate, and Utaha is most perceptive.

>I never said Megumi fully understands Tomoya nor that she is infallible
I know. I was just saying.

No. As much as Megumi convinced them to join the circle, it was ultimately their feelings for Tomoya the reason they joined.

>>144572352

No. Utaha did it that way because he didn't give her the D. Eriri is a coward so she might have done something awful.

Yeah but that is independent of their romantic feelings for him.

>>144572741
>Yeah but that is independent of their romantic feelings for him.

Akane would have never scouted them so they would never have to leave. But anyway, they wouldn't have cared about him at all if they had no feelings for him, so they'll just tell him they're leaving and fuck off.

Why do people think Megumi likes Tomoya? Has this series just flown over their head? Eriri is shit though, Utaha is probably the best for him.

>>144572971
I meant romance. Megumi doesn't have romantic feelings for Tomoya.

>>144572992
Utaha only screwed him so hard because she was frustrated he wouldn't fuck her. So yeah, it was purely because of romantic feelings. For Eriri it's more questionable. She couldn't personally tell Megumi she was leaving so maybe she would chicken out.

>>144573021
What about the conversation doesn't make sense? She's saying she fell in love with him.

>>144573334

Not that anon, but it's up to interpretation that while Eriri's love is bigger now, Megumi's feelings changed from nothing to something. How much about this means love is not clear.

>>144544139
I do remember how I watched this expecting love Utaha's character from all the posts, but ended liking Megumi the most.

She has some interesting development, and her interactions are fun, while Eriri gets on my nerves and Utaha is a nice girl who can accomplish nothing.

>>144573579

They were talking about their breasts at last.

Utaha just strikes me as thirsty. She is kind of pathetic in a way.

>>144573714
It's sad what they did to her. Instead if just rejecting her in V7 and letting her feelings die out, they've just made them bigger and left her eternally cockblocked.

>>144573745
Maruto can still give her a decent closure if the point made in volume 10 follows through and they part ways definitely.

>>144573745
I think Utaha really needs to move on from him. She hasn't and is doomed to never even being considered by him.

>>144573843
Utaha still loves his game all things considered. I am not sure Maruto will sweep her away until the very end.

Do Utahafags even bring in shekels?

>>144573843
Maybe, but who knows what Volume 10 spelled for Koisuru Metronome. If that Utaha is the same as this Utaha then there is absolutely no way she will win the Tomoyabowl.

I haven't read Koisuru Metronome so I can't say but she has no shot of winning him in the main series. Her only ray of hope is if Megumi turns into something wicked and Eriri goes full crazy. Oh, and for Tomoya to stop worshiping her.

So why are Eriri and Utaha so hostile to eachother? I know they make for a good pair and care about eachother professionally but there is no real reason for them to bicker like two children over a toy.

>>144574232
We already knew she had no way to win in Volume 7, but it didn't say anything about KM. Now we have Volume 10 where the Utaha route is essentially KM, but Tomoya says that the girl in that route isn't the real Utaha.

>>144574305
Literally just because of Tomoya. They actually love each other a lot but because they're fighting for the same man they keep on arguing.

This never happened. And Utaha might know she doesn't have a chance with Tomoya, but that won't stop her constant sexual harassment towards him.

>>144574326
Ah, I get it. So any route where Utaha is herself she will never, ever get the Rinri-kun?

>>144574625
Yep. No problem. Everyone should realize that Tomoya is never going to change his heart and that it's pointless to fight over him. They all should support Eriri x Tomoya and wish them a happy life together like Megumi is doing.

>>144574694
Yeah. Now the main question is whether the ending will just be a farewell scene between Tomoya and Utaha or if Maruto will add salt to the wound and make it a Mayu end.

>>144574685
>her constant sexual harassment towards him.
She is just teasing him. There is no love behind it. If he actually responded to it and tried something she would stop him.

>This never happened.
Someone told me on 4chan that Eriri stopped liking him that way and their chances were over. Funposting?

>>144574697
That would be reassuring. Too much of the drama in this series revolves around Tomoya's dck.

>>144574862
>Someone told me on 4chan that Eriri stopped liking him that way and their chances were over. Funposting?

That's utter bullshit. And Utaha's sexual harassment is borderline rape, the only reason actual rape hasn't happened is because someone keeps showing up to cockblock them.

>>144574862
It indeed is reassuring. Megumi's methods may cause a bit of pain on Tomoya, but they are also part of her heroine training and contribute to the development of the game.

>>144574924

I just finished this episode. Why was Utaha so bothered by this? Did she realize that what she was doing was wrong as a creator? If so there is no reason to be mad at him for 6 months, it isn't as if he did anything wrong. It seems like she is over it though.

So when did Eririfags become cancer? Where they born that way?

Megumifags are the worst.

>>144576914
Tomoya is a good kid. He didnt ask for a harem, he just wants to make games

>>144577427
Because he wouldn't break his code for her. He appreciated her more as a creator than as a person. That's essentially what it boiled down to.

>>144581175
He met her as a creator and they connected through her creation. If she wanted him to care about her as a person she should have tried to appeal to him that way rather than act like a spurned lover.

Does Michiru like Tomoya?

>>144582426
No.

>>144583230
Then why is she so suggestive to him and grinds him?

Is Eriri still in love with Tomoya even in vol 9.

Why doesn't Megumi trigger Utaha and Eriri's jelly sensors?

>>144578732
Tsunderefags are cancer by default. This time they're worse than usual though because their tsunshit isn't going to win.

>>144584437
She's a cockthirsty slut.

>>144586612
Yes.

She does.

>>144586612
They're not around enough to be triggered. I'd imagine both would be ballistic if they knew how casually Megumi eats, sleeps, and bathes over at Tomoya's house.

>>144587900
Even in vol 10? What about Utaha?

tl note: megumi means female goddess

>>144588419
Yes Eriri still loves Tomoya in Volume 10. And in that volume when Utaha found out Megumi was sleeping over at Tomoya's house, she was pretty mad.

>>144589137
So they both still love him even after the bull shit they put him through? Utaha and Eriri should move on.

>>144567533
Yahari is better than this show, but it kinda got uninterested.

>>144589367
No, it's more surprising Tomoya is still in love with Eriri after everything she did.

>>144590129
No way, Saekano is miles above Yahari. It's way funnier and has better written characters and conflict.

>>144590129
I agree but that is because 8man himself is actually enjoyable as main character. He is not perfect and has made lots of mistakes, but compared with Tomoya, he is miles better.

The girls are not really that good tho. In that aspect, Saekano is far better.

Yahari dragged Yukino's issue too much, to the point it got uninteresting. Still better writing and prose than Saekano tho.

>>144590809
All Eriri needed to do to win was fuck him in Volume 6 and then politely tell him she was leaving the next volume.

>>144544846
Megumi's megumis should be smaller.

>>144590207
I don't even know anymore. It's like he was castrated by her actions in their childhood, so now he is incapable of telling who loves him for real.

>>144591217
This is what actually pissed me off the most. I understand her position as a creator. Tomoya wouldn't even reject that if there were plenty of reasons, as he shows himself in the station. But what is the fucking necessity to make her and Utaha look so bad with the betrayal, is beyond me. Unless it was formulated that way to make then out of question as romantic partners later,.

Of course Utaha, who won get the D is the one who has to tell him the true first.

Blame Eriri for not telling Tomoya beforehand and leaving the responsibility to Utaha of revealing the truth. That's also one of the reasons Megumi goes to confront Eriri and calls her out on her shit.

>>144591413
Utaha's motives were far worse. It only killed her.

>>144591377
Maybe they grew.

Good to see the thread full of discussion and minimal shitposting. Maybe there's still hope for this fanbase.

>>144591933
Are you trying to bait the shitposters anon.
DELETE THIS.

I'm seriously wondering how Tomoya is supposed to get over his Eriri love. How is Maruto going to break the bond after all she's done? I can't see a satisfactory Megumi end if he still doesn't deal with that first.

>>144592105
Which is why it's going to be a cop out open end.

>>144591860
They don't look that big there >>144544919
I know, clothes, etc, but it seems like they only get big for fanservice scenes.

>>144592281
I think that too. Why else would the author keep Utaha in the game?

>>144591413
>But what is the fucking necessity to make her and Utaha look so bad with the betrayal,
Eriri is coward.

>>144592105
What if it's something like

>LN - Eriri end
>Anime - Megumi end

>>144574151
>dat game mc kanji reading
Heh. Maruto makes it hard not to be a Megumifag.

>>144593116
>>LN - Eriri end
Please no. I don't want this to be another WA2.

>>144593245
Ikr, how the fuck I'm supposed to interpret that anyway. Can only imagine her speaking with dual voice, like a monster would do.

>>144593376
She's saying Tomoya-oniisama but means Tomoya-kun.

>>144593333
Why not?

Once is enough.

>>144593664
The kanji reads the name(Fuma?) of the brother MC from their game whose incestuous sister is based on Megumi. Tomoya's kanji is 倫也.

>>144593793
We will get one with Oregairu already.

>>144593333
Let's be honest, barely anyone reads the LN. Even in Japan the majority of the fanbase is from the anime.

>>144593793
The problem with Setsuna is that she knows that Haruki loves Touma.

Would love and appreciate a translation of this.

>>144594218
And Haruki may be a faggot but at least he banged Kazusa.

>>144594218
Megumi knows Eriri and Utaha are deeply in love him. Eriri and Utaha are aware of Megymi.

> he has feelings for Utaha
not only of amiration and love(feeling ambiguous)
Vol 10
After talking with Eriri a bit and finally leaving the place, Utaha began to cry desperately, Eriri was obviously supporting her even when she still holds some mixed feelings (Why she jelly????? )after noticing how close Utaha and Tomoya are(???love 100%)
Tomoya kept thinking about Utaha even throughout the camp, and finally decided later on: he will write a scenario with Utaha
The circle has returned from their training camp. Tomoya is working on his game. Megumi shows up to meet him but he’s too busy thinking about Utaha to notice her!!!! in the room, so she picks off some of the sunburnt skin on his neck. Tomoya screams in pain and finally notices her. Megumi tells him she’s noticed how depressed he is about Utaha and that he needs to cheer her up. Tomoya asks if it’s okay for him to focus on the ex-circle members instead of the current circle members. Megumi says yes, mentioning how she’s used to him betrayed her ever since he wrote the Eriri route. Tomoya realizes that he has to write an Utaha route
As always Tomoya acted like a huge idiot, this happened mainly because when he heard Utaha rejecting his heroine (which means rejecting the way he feels about Utaha!!) his feelings were affected too Why??? love 100%)and now Tomoya and Utaha who used to be together now started to move away, on different paths.
Eriri is very special for Tomoya, but I haven't really seen anything that necessarily indicates Tomoya is still in love with herand Megumi friendship(can be love or not)
Vol7
Tomoya hesitated to answer of question about feeling for utaha when megumi asked him about his feeling about her (Utaha) directly and didn't was a clearly answer. And the other hand, he said Eriri was his first love(was).
Hopefully, Tomoya will realize his own feelings for her vol 11
I suppose the odds of tomoya ending up with utaha? ?Not impossible unless Megumi win because as heroine

>>144594387
There has been so much implied sex in the LN I wouldn't be surprised if he put in one in the real world.

>>144594450
Megumi knows/thinks that Tomoya loves Eriri.

>>144594631
It will be Iori x Michiru.

>>144594817
If only she was more like Setsuna and more aggressive.

>>144594492
So Utaha no longer loves him and is moving on.

>>144595255
That's not what the epilogue says.

>>144595130
She has done enough already rescuing him and staying close by his side. She just can't suddenly override Tomoya's feelings, which too bad for her haven't changed a bit even after all the shit Eriri has pulled on him.

>>144595626
She should try kissing him like Setsuna did.

>>144595346
What does it say or imply?

>>144595856
She loves the game and keeps playing it over and over.

>>144596052
She should tell him that then. It would make him happy. Does the fact that it has his feelings in it impact her.

>>144595827
And then get stabbed in the heart when Tomoya runs off to Eriri as he never stopped loving her.

>>144596278
That would happen anyway if she did nothing. Now she actually has a chance to appeal to him since Eriri is away most of the time. She needs to take the chance before she comes back.

>>144596456
But does Megumi even want that? For Tomoya to be hers? He has all sorts of girls all over him even if he did ditch Eriri.

>>144596981
Of course she wants that. Look at how jealous she is.

>>144596456
But Tomoya dotes on her a lot. He always has. It'd be hard to draw a line between that and actual romantic appeal.

>>144597588
That's why she has to be more aggressive and kiss him.

>>144593333
Well I don't want another shitty Toradora.

>>144598065

>tfw the anime cut out their nearly kiss in volume 1

Granted, the way they arranged the whole scene would have made it impossible to fit.

>>144598191
Minori, but still the end was shit.

>>144598300
Let's be honest, the anime version was better. Having Eriri crash into Tomoya was a terrible idea.

>>144577427
Because he's an idiot.
