was it rape?
>>149178754
You can't rape guys if you are a female.
>>149178799
wew gal
Akari is so mother-like to the point where i don't feel attracted to her as a woman. She's attractive but at the same time she's like a mother. It makes me very confused.
>>149179142
basically everyone wants to fuck each other, but not really
you know, a family show
hina is cute
>>149178754
>was it rape?
We don't know yet. The manga hasn't touched this scene in awhile.
>>149179260
Every time she's on screen all i can think about is how great HanaKana is. People here on /a/ like to hate her because she's popular but she's so fucking good, she nailed Hina's voice perfectly.
Momo is too cute and I normally don't even like Misaki Kuno. I always feel good watching this in a way I haven't felt since finishing up Hidamari.
>>149179142
does she married the fat boy?
>>149179479
Nope. It's either going to berei's school teacher or shimada. If you're watching the anime only then you haven't met the latter yet.
>>149179572
Yeah, I'm putting off reading until the anime is over, otherwise I'll drop the show
Momo x Bodoro OTP
When does the OP drop?
Thread is so dead. Did everybody drop this anime after 3 episodes?
>>149179921
it's saturday night, all the shaftfags are beating it to their snake dakis and listening to renai disco
Akari's VA is way too soft spoken.
>>149179142
I really thought that she was the mother.
Oh well, I should pay more attention and not watch it half asleep.
I CAN'T TAKE THIS KEKENING ANYMORE
When in the fuck did netorare invaded anime? Not even slice of life anime is safe anymore.
Will present Ayumu show up in the manga eventually? Will he resent Rei even more than Kyoko?
>>149181468
She's been called onee-chan many times, and there was a few scenes talking about their dead parents.
When does this get good?
>>149182127
>melodramatic mess that was H&C
Can someone explain to me what Akari works as? is she a hostess? is Rei in love with her?
Im loving this anime so far btw.
>>149179260
Why does japanese girls love to wear dress with pants so much?
>>149178799
>You cant rape guys if your female
Yeah and it is not rape if both of them are crying
>>149183482
Because it's fucking cute.
She won't stop feeding him until he's fat.
>>149183482
Asians in general are autistic like that.
>>149183482
you dont?
I want someone to save Akari.
>>149183482
Japanese girls don't like showing to much skin. They don't want to tan.
>>149178754
No, she won't let him touch her. Only she do the touching.
>>149178754
I hope she wins the reibowl.
So the MC got cuckolded in the 4th episode already?
What the actual fuck, do you guys get rock hard from watching your femc obsess and drool over another guy while MC is watching over the fence and jerking to it?
I'll never understand this pathetic fetish.
Men can't be raped.
Women can't be rapists.
So far this show has been good, i don't understand why it bombed in Japan. Anyone knows why?
>>149185290
I wish, but she's basically vanished from the manga.
>>149185451
that was a flashback when Rei didnt even met the 3 sisters yetToo bad they will never reach that chapter when MC finally called out his foster father a cuckold
What is this shit even about?
It started out as an anime about competition
Then it went to SoL
Then it went to drama
What an absolute fucking mess.
>>149185538
It's obviously Shogi + His own drama/problems.
>>149184693

No, he loved/loves her
>>149185499
>Too bad they will never reach that chapter when MC finally called out his foster father a cuckold
He never called him that you memester.
He adores the guy
>>149185538
>It started out as an anime about competition
It was never really about competition. Don't expect some Akagi or Saki type battles here.
It's about how he fled into shogi because of his problems and how battling different opponents make him realize how pathetic he is which makes him grow as a person.
It's about sol/dama. These 2 aren't mutually exclusive, in fact, they often come together.
>>149185774It looks like shit.
>>149185773
oh w8
So this guy was Kyoko's dick boyfriend? I have no idea until now since they have pretty similar face
>>149185933
That is the 3 sisters father.
>>149185933
That's Hina, Akari and Momo's father.
The fuck are you talking about?
Kyoko's boyfriend is Gotou.
>>149185987
>>149185994
aaaaaa I fucked up. Why do they have similar faces? I honestly didnt know until now which is who
>>149185538
The manga is pretty boring desu. The characters drama are great but it wastes too much pages and words on stupid shit no one fucking cares, like foods and shogi.
>>149186028
That's because you don't read the manga and just repeated what some memester said in a previous thread
>>149186028
They don't have similar faces, you might be blind.
>>149186058
>The characters drama are great but it wastes too much pages and words on stupid shit no one fucking cares, like foods and shogi.
Except the reason the manga is popular is because of Shogi?
We've had this conversation several threads ago, and you got BTFO by more than one anon.
Fuck off retard.
>>149186058
Good thing nobody gives a fuck about what you think.
>>149186096
Yeah, because reading how to make sweets or some shogi formations are really enjoyable right.
>>149186030I used to think the same thing when I had yellow fever. Now at best I have no opinion of their doll tier fashion sense, at worst I think they should stop trying to dress like Alice from wonderland.
>>149186160
The manga is popular because of Shogi, fuck off now, every thread you post the same bait.
>>149186028
Gotou is shogi Ladd Russo and the dads wear glasses, they don't look alike at all.
>>149186217
>the manga is popular because of Shogi
And how many people here actually understand shogi?
>>149186211I like cute things too, but that's where we differ.
>>149186275
Who's talking about people here and why does that matter?
It's not sold outside of japan.
>>149186369
>not carving your own shogi pieces
>>149186369
And people wonders why there are barely any discussions here.
Why is this anime so shit? It goes from Shogi to slice of life to melodrama nonsense. Does the author have a set goal in mind? Flop so hard
>>149186510
>flop
It is pretty boring, but...
It's in legendary top TV rankings along with doraemon and other classics.
Literally shits out cash right now.

>>149185538
This fucking thread. Don't think you can use your brainless labels like NTR or SoL to describe this work. It's a story about humans and their emotions, not a fanservice-ridden harem story written to please your escapist fantasies. The characters establish romantic relations to other characters and grow out of them. Everything doesn't depend on the number of girls lusting for the MC's dick. It's just a comfy and feelsy manga about Rei and the people around him. Don't judge it based on labels you read on MAL.
I thought the MC was like a neuter. Who is the bitch he was fucking?
>>149179324
*she nailed HanaKana's voice perfectly
>>149186782
>Muh favourite manga!
Yes I get it, doesn't change the fact that the story is a turd.
>>149187004
>>149186824
you could at least try while samefagging.
Just embarrasing.
>>149187048
>samefag!
Kill yourself.
>>149187048
You are embarassing yourself.
>>149178754
She's my favorite character in 3gatsu, even more than Kiriyama.
Yes, yes I know she's a mean bitch and quite psychotic at times but not without a reason. Also she's very, very beautiful.
>>149186824
Guess I didn't mean to reply to your post. Your critique is more valid, I admit. I'm just triggered by the "LOL THIS IS NTR? HAHA GET KEKED KEKS!", but I guess it's just shitposting and shouldn't take it personally. It's not a masterpiece no, but the characters are pretty damn good in my opinion and the art makes everything so much better. I guess I just fell that it's being shit on for the wrong reasons.
>>149187998
What issues?
Hina is not presented as a love interest and won't be for another 10 volumes, anyone getting triggered by this is a literal retard.
>>149188252
So what is your problem with it?
>>149178754
Can someone summarize the relationship of these two? The only romance I enjoy reading is twisted romance. Is he emotionally dependent on her for love, even though she has psychotic tendencies and frequently manipulates him? Or is it not explored all that much?
>>149188456
>The mood whiplash and poor delivery on most jokes
Those are perfect. One strenght manga have regarding comedy is that they can execute entire jokes within one panel without giving it the same relevance as the serious parts. And sadly it's thing that doesn't translate well in anime.
>the clumsy dialog that tries far too hard to paint everyone as having a broken family or hard life with and then covers it up with a sad smile, but then they all still just sit in circles and reminisce about how and why they're sad.
It was the day of the dead, that's what japanese people do. There's nothing clumsy about the dialog at all.
Reminder than Akari pleases old men for money
>>149188698
That's Kyoko though.

Blatantly false.
>Endless melancholy doesn't make for good writing
Good things that's not at all what this manga is about then.
>because you think it's somehow realistic or mature.
Gotta love the condescending tone.
Seems to me that you disliked H&C, that admittedly is rather immature, with moments of brilliance buried within a large amount of melodramatic tripe, and you're projecting that to a work that has none of that and stands as one of the bests character dramas around.
this manga is fucking trash. shit art. shit characters. shit dialogue. shit paneling. SHIT.
>>149182127
>the melodramatic mess that was H&C
Silly, ignorant highschoolfagglet. H&C is pure, unfiltered life. You will experience it too one day.
>>149182269
Go back to /v/, crossshitter!
>>149186590
What? Since when was 3gatsu so popular?
>>149184255
Well, he has to be erect for that, isn't it? If he is erect means he is willing, is not like raping a girl that even dry you can rape her, females can't raped men they are not on the mood.
>>149189081
>Point to a single joke in the last 4 episodes that was actually funny besides the GPS joke.
Take a better look at what I was quoting.
>Still waiting on literally anything else to happen in terms of character development.
The backstory of the characters hasn't even been revealed yet and you expect character development?
During the firsts 5 chapters of what will be a 20+ volumes manga?
Sadly for you this isn't a work for people with ADD.
>By who's standards? The people that pretend H&C is a masterpiece?
But I just said H&C isn't very good?
Do you just want to shitpost?

FUCK OFF YOU FUCKING LANDWHALE
>>149189306
>That's even worse, seeing as that's been the entirety of each episode so far, save the scenes with his rival.
And most of the scenes with the sisters, the ones with the teacher.....
>Swing and a miss. 4 episodes is plenty of time for characterization, they're stuck on one note.
The positive outlook the sisters have in life is the same as their behaviour during the cerimony of the return of the dead. Sure.
>No, you said it was immature but had brilliance in it.
"moments of brilliance buried within a large amount of melodramatic tripe" yeah, that sounds like praise from someone that "pretends H&C was a masterpiece".
Nice try.

>The ones where the older one was sad about losing her parents and has a chip on her shoulder about taking in strays, or the one with Hina crying about her parents after smiling and trying not to be sad, or the one with Hina being sad she couldn't work up the courage to give her crush the bento and then Akari reminisced about her sad childhood when she couldn't either?
Those scenes are outliers though
>>149189806
That was literally 2 scenes with them.
And I'd argue that Akari remembering being unable to give a crush a bento isn't even a sad childhood thing.
>>149189618
>The ones where the older one was sad about losing her parents and has a chip on her shoulder about taking in strays, or the one with Hina crying about her parents after smiling and trying not to be sad, or the one with Hina being sad she couldn't work up the courage to give her crush the bento and then Akari reminisced about her sad childhood when she couldn't either?
More like the ones where he gets back after the match, when he wakes up the morning after, when he helps them at the shop, when he meets them at the market, when Hina makes the bento...
>"Everybody is really sad, but we smile and cover it up." That's been the extent of all of it now, and that's the problem.
No, it's "despite the hardships life always reserves, everyone try their best to be happy and to help the people they love".
Pretty simple really, and has nothing to do with wallowing in self pity.
>that sounds like praise from someone that "pretends H&C was a masterpiece".
>You touted up its brilliance despite this having the same soppy melodrama and one note characterization.
No amount of damage control will erase the fact that you claimed that I considered H&C a masterpiece, give up.
Fucking women shitting up my anime threads with their shitty self-inserting

>just post oneliners because I can't read paragraphs
>>149189986
>Stop underplaying it and counting wrong.
Hina and Akari being sad about their parents death was one scene.
Hina crying about failing to give someone a bento was one scene.
Taking in strays isn't played for drama
how is the release schedule for the manga ? why isn't every week a new chapter translated and the chinese raws has the newest chapters with a length of 9 pages - can some1 brief me on?
>>149190141
Nice try vagina
>>149190178
Hina crying was a continuation of the scene where Akari was shown sad.
Taking in strays was played for laugh by her fetishising Nishidou
Next episode we get Rei's childhood.
The week after that Souya gets mentioned for the first time, I wonder how SHAFT will handle the mood that surrounds him.
I'm looking forward to seeingNikaidou's motivational speech on TV and the picture book shogi learning chapter.
>>149190234
>There was a clear break and transition between them. 2 scenes.
The transition was Rei following her through the city which was build up to that setpiece.
But you can argue for it being 3 different scenes but I don't see the benefit in dividing that long sequence.
>No, but your post gave me a laugh.
Prior to that it's also played in a positive way when Akari picks up drunk Rei and says he's just skin and bone.
There's really nothing melodramatic about that trait
Good question.
>>149183482
because they are no sluts at least not in appearance anon
>>149190374
The latter has potential to be really cool looking if SHAFT decides to be creative.
>>149189986
>You mean the few short ones that aren't the focus of the characterization?
Of course they are the focus of characterization. Do you really think only "dramatic" scenes are important in estabilishing characters and their ralationships?
>Except he literally spells it out. "We all have sad things so we smile and look forward!" isn't mature. A fucking 5 year old understands this. Harping on it does not make the writing nuanced or well executed. People get sad about things, and then they try to move on. We don't need them all showing us how sad they are all the time to the point that the MC has to comment on it.
And here you aussume that a comment made by one character at one point reflects the intention of the author regarding the entire work.
You seem pretty new to fiction in general from the things you say.
>>149179921
I love the show, but there isn't much to discuss.
We can only speculate about future chapters, there aren't any scans of the Nisio crossover novel or fun stuff like the guidebooks (only a few photos of that).
>>149190779
>When they're at the forefront and make up a bulk of the dialog, yes.
The lighthearted scenes are just as important in the charactetization as the serious scenes.
>And there you assume the observations made by the first person main character, who is the mouthpiece of the author, shouldn't be taken to heart at all because it doesn't jive with your own ideas.
>Rei

Why does every show about love gets the "DEEP" treatment? Like seriously there's nothing that complicated or interesting about people wanting to fuck each other, to adorn it with dull visual effects and paint it as something worth of watching. Is there something that I'm missing on? I just can't get it. Really
>>149192352
The only thing that attracts me to it is the notion of a formerly abusive step sister suddenly having her switched flipped and goes into want-to-fuck mode. No other reason for me to be in this series otherwise.
>>149192352
3gatsu has very little romance.
>>149192352
anime is about escape so when it deals with real life stuff, fans discuss it like the fucking higgs boson. go to any big thread about romance anime and the amount of shit flinging about realism, trauma, deep characters, subtle gestures, etc, is ridiculous.
>>149192411
Then stop watching.
There's nothing for the average Shaftfag looking for pandering here.
>>149192352
>Why does every show about love gets the "DEEP" treatment?
But this isn't true for every show. You have your silly sparkly over the top shoujo drama and comedy romance.

She works at her aunt's hostess bar.
Basically a bar where you pay extra to have pretty ladies sit with you and pour your drink for you. She also works for her grandpa's sweet shop as well as odd jobs.They need the money because daddy was a scumbag who quit his job and then after months of leeching off mom ran off with another woman while telling the other woman that mom was a horrible person who abused him and their kids. And then mom got sick and died leaving the sisters to live with grandpa and grandma, and then grandma died too.
>>149194067
>where you pay extra to have pretty ladies sit with you
Is there a bar where I can pay extra to be left alone?
>>149189108
The manga was always popular and from a popular author over in nipland, it just wasn't popular on /a/. And the anime's TV ratings apparently broke all the records for its time slot.
>>149194127
That's every other bar
>>149194127

He's going through a lot between his issues of "replacing" her as her father's kid and his excessive loneliness for not having a real family.
was the mikazuki sweets thing a reference to the MC's va being the same va as mikazuki from gundam ibo?
>>149197701
This was in the manga, and the manga started in 2007 or 2008. I might be wrong, but I think Hanaoka bought sweets from their grandfather's shop.
Old fat men and oldest doujin are writing themselves.

>>149200755
>Was that his stepfather he beat in the 1st episode in that chess match?
It's his adoptive father, both his parents died when he was young. He retreated to shogi to escape the pain of that, then caused his adoptive father to focus on him over his real kids due to being good at Shogi compared to them.
Lots of other stuff later and he left home and then ended his "dad"'s pro shogi career in that match.
>>149194318
He'll grab the younger sister tho.
>>149195498
She abused him all of the goddamn time and he took it because he wanted to have a connection with his adoptive family.
>>149202719
Was that pretty early on? I think 1 or 2 years already passed over the course of the manga right?
The only thing about this show that i really dislike is how the MC audibly talks to himself all the time. Noone fucking does that and it's not a good narrative structure.
Why do they do that anyways? He still has internal monologues, so why not just have him talk about it in those?
>>149202866
No, that's from volume 10 or 11.
>>149202898
It could be a fuckin' personal quirk. I don't know he had no friends... Jesus, man! You're just nitpicking the small things.
>>149202999
Are you retarded?
It's not exactly a small thing, it's part of the shows narrative structure.
So what's the story about?
Is it a nice story?
>>149203024
I think you're confusing narration with narrative structure.
>>149203024
I think the reason for that is that the author simply prefered the visuals of the speech bubbles in some panels. It switches between thought and speech bubbles pretty frequently.
>>149202915
Guess you are right then.
>>149203024
Get Shit ON!

>>149202898
You starts to talk to yourself after a few years living alone. The MC quitted the school for a year and doesn't have friends neither a family, he only enrolled in a local highschool to be able to get friends. His life starts to change when he met Akari, and that is when he was about 17 years old and was in his first year in highschool, two years after he leave his foster family.
Who is ready for the bullying arc?
>>149178754
Reminder that Akari is a miracle of the universe and under NO circumstances should be lewded.
>>149205454
A Hina is fine too!
>>149205454
Kind of hard to do that.
>>149205268
of course some ESL goober thinks talking out loud is fine. Even his monologuing is stupid. The episode starts off with him and the girls around the table and they're all making a lunch. We know what's going on and we can tell through their conversation what the lunch is for. It's never enough, though. He has to monologue how he's sitting in the room, peeling chestnuts, helping to make a lunch, etc. It's overdone and typical heavy-handed manga / anime writing to hold the hands of people who can't infer what's happening. We just have to have his horrible situation hammered down on us at every moment possible.

The burn. It hurts.
Volume 12 was kinda meh. Too much shogi and too little development.
Nice too see Nikaido is still alive though. Now if only Umino could remember than Kyoko used to exist...

>a cute chapter about Nikaidou and his dog
>hilarious Namerikawa moments
At least theeye of Sauronreference did it for me.

For me the sheninigans of the eccentrics shogi players should be the side dish, not the main course.
And the dog chapter was cute but as far as self contained chapters go, Rei's stepmom one was way better.
Dunno, after how intense the last storylines have been and how much intetesting stuff is left to explore (Kyojo, Goto, Soya etc) this volume felt kinda aimless.
This guy is too smooth.

You're right about that, it was decent but the arc with the sisters' dad was too exciting. I hope she gets to the Kyouko/Gotou and Souya stories soon. The chapter with the step mom was really nice.

It hurts.

So, did she sex him or not?
They better not say it was just hugs.

Its left vague at the moment and the author hasn't expanded on that scene yet.

>>149208329
We don't really know
It is implied that she abused him outside mental stuff probably physical too

He never said that narrative wasn't part of narrative structure. He just said that those were different things, and they are.
