Why didn't this happen?
>>149676508
Because then it wouldn't be soul crushing
>>149676899
maybe I didn't want my soul crushed

>implying it didn't after they got their lives together
>>149676508
>>149676508
She's a complete bitch
>>149677190
how so?
>>149677181
Why?
>>149677181
That Flintstones reboot is so hit or miss.
>>149677218
Anime ending not cannon
>>149677181
really makes you think
>>149676508
Double suicide pact is like marriage.
>>149677322
I read the manga a long time ago, but I always remember Misaki as just being in love with Satou.
>>149676508
Bad writing, obviously.
>>149677352
Nope she just gets her jollies off by destroying people
>>149677359
>realistic writing is bad
>>149677322
Neither is the manga.
>>149677359
The only badly written thing here is your post.
>>149677379
how did she destroy him? Satou was already a fucking loser and she actually brought happiness into his life.
>>149677455
and then takes it away
>>149677425
Actually he didn't break a single grammatical rule throughout the entirely of his post.
Unlike yourself.
>>149677479
>and then takes it away
ok you're gonna have to refresh my memory, how does she take it away?
>You will never have a love this pure
really makes you doubt.
>>149677352
>manga
hold your misaki close
>>149677533
Not giving him the sex she owes him.
>>149676508
Because the dude's a sperg. Didn't she like basically present herself for breeding purposes at the end and then MC-kun went like "Yes, it is very good that we are such very good friends, yes."
>>149677670
go fuck youself
>>149676508
Because Misaki is a fucking sociopath
They're probably fucking like rabbits within 1 month of the ending
>>149676508
pretty sure this was another one of Satou's delusions (hell I'm pretty sure there was another delusions where he goes into a love hotel and does it with a married/engaged woman) or its a... CONSPIRACY
also I see NHK, I post this
https://youtu.be/3oJm2S5F-7w
The real question is why don't you have your own Misaki?
>>149677843
Right back at you, princess ;^)
>>149677385
Nice Delusion faggot
they both got there shit together and became happy
>>149678201
what about the Original Novel
>>149678246
not cannon
Because Misaki is a whore.
>>149678314
so?
>>149678333
NTR whore. Sucks and fucks old men for kicks and to hurt whats his name. She's a bitch with a mountain of issues.
>>149678270
really, would of thought since it was the first thing to come out it would be cannon,
There goes the theory Satou ended up exactly like the author of the series
>>149678383
>Sucks and fucks old men for kicks and to hurt whats his name.
the fuck are you on about m8
>>149676508
They don't like each other.
>>149678422
>>149678422
wait, Satou's an exceptionally handsome guy right?
Satou was an ungrateful asshole. He deserved to be alone.
>>149678448
correct, they love each other
>>149678389
the Author regretted his original ending
>>149678389
wait what happened to the author?
>>149678530
no, the author regretting himself slipping back into hikikomori-dom after the success of his book
>>149677181
Remember when the Flinstones was light hearted and funny rather than a half-baked critique of middle class life
>Show's morale is that you'll never change your hikkiNEET status by sitting around waiting for something to happen
>fuckwitted /a/nons instead take the meaning to be that they should twiddle their thumbs and wait for a magical pixie girl to come save them because they're really fucking special, then they get buttflustered when it doesn't happen and decide to blame the nonexistant girl for not existing
top wew
>>149678794
>implying this much
>>149676508
But that's what happened, they sign a contract where each one promised to watch over each other. That's what marriage essentialy is.
>>149677181
He was a loser and she was batshit insane.
They probably did eventually, but out of desperation not love. She is the kind of person that would fake pregnancy or threaten to kill herself to keep him on a leash.
Marriage is something like a doghouse with two holes. You can enter it and exit from either side, but it will not change anything.
>>149679881
>She is the kind of person that would fake pregnancy or threaten to kill herself to keep him on a leash.
still would desu
>>149678594
He used to be a hikki and wrote the book from his personal experience, in the 2nd edition of the book he mentioned that he had a car accident and the PTSD gave a writer's block and he was just living off his royalties and slipping back into his old hikki habits.
He seems to have gotten better, seeing how he wrote another novel in 2011.
>>149677181
>>149679881
He's the kind of person who would verbally abuse her whenever he feels bad about himself, which would only make him hate himself even more, though he'd never apologise.Or maybe I'm just projecting.
reminder that Satou fucks Misaki in the manga
>people still think it's inferior
>>149681554
He does in the novel too
And the manga is still shit.
>>149681760
He doesn't do it with Misaki in the novel.
You're probably thinking of Hitomi.
>>149678794
You assume the average readers/viewers have the brains to learn something from a show.
>>149678794

>the fuck are you on about m8
He's just another NTR fetishist rampant on this board.
Move along, nothing to see here, pay trash no heed.
>>149682614
Dunno, never watched that anime.
>>149684298
It's the only hope I have
Can someone explain why Misaki and Satou were crazy?
I always thought Satou just had bad social anxiety, and his conspiracy theories came from browsing imageboards too much (does /pol/ ring a bell?). Misaki just seemed like a lonely girl who crushed on Satou and developed an obsession with him because he's male model-tier, much like the many waifufags on this board.
>>149676508
Because then the show would have been shit.
>>149680137
>gotten better
What the fuck are you trying to say? There's nothing wrong with being a hikki
>>149688432
Keep telling yourself that, snowflake.
>>149682106
Hitomi isn't even named in the novel.
>>149676508
I thought it was implied in the manga.
>>149681554
I don't remember this
>>149688432
>There's nothing wrong with being a hikki
a-anon...
>>149687671
anyone?
>>149677181
>>149677624
but make sure to grab 'em first.
>>149680137
Wait he wrote another book/novel?!
I have t look into this to see if its any good
>>149687671
Misaki's madness is explained very well in the anime. Did you ever watched it?
>>149681554
I kinda feel cheated for watching the anime first. Is the manga still worth a read?
>>149692777
Nah, the manga is pretty shit, read the novel instead
>>149692777
Yeah, it's better than the anime in some ways, also read the novel.
>>149692926
>>149693112
why is the novel better?
>>149693317
No iteration of the story is inherently better or worse, but I feel that the novel lets you get closer to "Satou the narrator." This will make no difference to someone who cannot identify with him though.
>>149693317
Don't listen to that retard,
Manga > Anime > Novel
Just go by this for every series
>>149693545
The Spice and Wolf Novels are so much better than the anime though
>>149693317
The novel has a more serious tone and lots of stuff got watered-down or removed from the manga in favor of crappy attempts at le otaku humor
>>149693545

wow the author posts a lot of crazy shit on twitter

"I wore the black suit I had bought when I entered college so that I
would look like a prize recruit. I pulled a tulip-pink hat down low over
my eyes and donned dark purple sunglasses. Even I thought I looked
ridiculous.
For his part, Yamazaki wore platform shoes to make himself about
four inches taller, put green contacts in his eyes—and on top of all that,
bleached his hair gold. I had no idea why he even owned such an idiotic
thing as platform shoes. Still, it was the perfect disguise."
Not saying the novel isn't better, but the manga has about the same tone and doesn't remove or water-down much at all. The anime does, of course.

Yeah, isolation will do that to you. He's almost 40 by now.
off topic but how long have you been studying nip? are you really diligent about it?
>>149694377
A while now
I don't study actively now just read in my spare time. But when I did I made sure to do all my anki reps every day without fail and I studied for at least an hour every day. Doujins and h-manga were to be fapped to in Japanese no matter how slow I had to go, music had to be in Japanese, anime watched with Japanese subtitles too if I couldn't understand it raw and so on
Also if you know about /djt/ I would make it a point not to go there since it's full of trolling redditors
Your reminder that Misaki is for loving. Not bullying.
>>149698870
Misaki is for double suicide.
>>149699159
If things ever got bad enough I would go be with Misaki. She is my waifu because she is fucked in the head and she'd understand me.
>>149699159
but that's when you show her what true love isAlso manga implied romance end is the best end
>>149687671
Have you seen anything of NHK?
Satou gets hikky from social anxiety while in college, because he didn't make meaningful relationships and goals in high school, so he dropped out of college and the guilt of leeching his parent's money for no greater good keeps him from improving.
Misaki was abused as a kid and never makes any meaningful relationships, and never gets anything positive out of her activities and interests, hence why she feels that she causes pain for everyone she meets.
She likes him because he's more pathetic than she is.

I can't be a hikki. If I don't work I can't eat and I can't afford my anime plastic butts and video games without working.

I think Satou had a bit more than just "Social Anxiety". He is like a Borderline Schizo.

>>149693684

That's completely wrong though. The anime is watered down and crappy version with the sugar sweet ending. The manga has suicide, sex, drugs, NTR and all the shit you couldn't put in the NHK anime and Misaki and Satou STILL get emotionally closer than any other iteration.
>>149677482
Same fag. Fuck off, all endings were perfect.
Novel > manga > anime
>>149702911
>>149693684
The novel is the original.
The manga is tryhard edgelord adaptation.
Anime is faithful novel adaptation with parts added. But parts that were adapted were faithful.
>>149694140
>almost all of the drug references removed
I mean Satou does way too much fucking drugs in the novel but at least they acknowledged it in the manga
was Misaki a virgin in the novel?
