His motives are too COMPLEX for you?

>>160006827
>implying you wouldn't do the exact same

>liking one's hobbies is a bad thing now
Kill yourself, OP.

I thought it was a good decision. He just wanted to play casual games to enjoy himself, and this girl was trying to get him into competitive play.

>>160006827
because he's not your typical shujinko

He told them straight up they don't play his kind of games and he'd rather play at his own pace. Literally nothing wrong with this

>>160007026
>>160007091
He seemed completely oblivious to the fact that she was interested in him despite his gaming tastes and probably would have been fine with his casual habits if it meant getting to spend time with him.

>being forced to do something you don’t like every single day just to get closer to a girl
Sounds just like wageslaving desu.

I'm sure he likes her more but I doubt he knows she's a girl.

>>160007170
Anon you seem like the faggot that once he likes a girl he starts liking everything she likes and doing everything she does. Why join a club just to get one girl who might not even like you (the mc doesn't know ). If you want a girl just get the girl. Confess. Go on dates. But don't act as if you have everything in common

>>160006827

>>160007170
A pretty girl (the most in the school) being interested in you for seemingly no reason is a massive fucking warning sign.

Sure if there's some leeway like you saved her life from a Japanese truck then it works, but if she just comes up to you and wants to be with you, it's danger.

>>160006827
Maybe I should pick up "Gamers!", the girl sounds cute. MC can go die in a corner.

>A pretty girl (the most in the school) being interested in you for seemingly no reason is a massive fucking warning sign.
How so? Isn't that just you being paranoid?

>>160008694

If the prettiest girl in school takes an interest in the geeky kid for seemingly no reason, she's hiding her true motives. She doesn't want him in a relationship or for sex, because she has basically first pick over all the guys she comes into contact with compared to other girls. If all he has going for himself is that he's nice, she'll vent all of her problems onto him and expect him to listen. He will, of course, because he's nice.

>t. Geeky kid who was strung along and used as an emotional tampon for a year and a half in high school.

For those of you who remember seitokai no ichizon, this is by the same author and set in the same universe. A side story confirms that Mafuyu is the one who got Karen into gaming.

>>160009224
I don't know, I knew a girl like that and I think she was pretty straightforward. One time she made like she was asking me to prom and I hesitated because I really had no interest in going to prom in any situation and she quickly revealed she was joking before things got awkward.

>>160009356
By the way, what is up with blonde anime girls named Karen? Why are there so many? Is that the only name they know?

>>160009433
Karen is a Japanese name as well, m8.

>>160009433
It's one these foreign names stupidly popular in nipland, like Erika.

>>160009403
>Let's see how he reacts. He does not have the balls anyway.

>>160009514
Both of those are possible in nip and I'm sure existed before they knew those were english names.

>>160009565
Actually, one time in class she laughed really loudly at something while she was talking with her friends and I instantly did a perfect imitation of her laugh from the other side of the room so I think she knew I was not someone to be trifled with.

>>160009574
"Possible" is a weird word choice. What name isn't possible in Japanese?

>>160009754
Anything that you can't sensibly produce with kana.

>>160009777
Such as?

>>160009730
How formidable of you

>>160009788
Anything with multiple consonants in a row, anything with a consonant ending a syllable, anything where you have an S in front of an I etc.
Look at a kana table.

>>160009754
I meant they already sound like female Japanese names. The ka means you can just put kanji for flower in it and it's a 100% legit nip name.

>>160006996
I wish people would offer to be my friend.

>>160009872
"Battler" fits some of those and they still made that work.

>>160009888
Oh, that makes sense.

>>160009888
>>160010021
>smash random kanji together
>call it a name
What a wonderful language.

>>160010021
Exotic characters in anime have exotic names. That doesn't make those names "possible". As far as the Japanese are concerned, his name is Batora.

>>160006996
>tfw you constantly ruin your own happiness and chances

Damn you guys are so out of touch with social cues and relationships. Especially you OP.

>>160010108
By the way, why is the name Andrew rendered as Andoryu?

>>160009872
Let's not forget sounds that are completely alien to Japanese speakers, like Scandinavian letters. It's common to name girls in fantasy anime after Níðhöggr, the world serpent A masculine name, as denoted by the "r" declension. Let's break it into parts:
>NÍ-Ð-HÖ-GG-R
>"NÍ" goes straight into Japanese
>"Ð" is a hard th like in "Than" or "Bathe" which becomes "zu" but the "u" can be dropped
>"Ö" is pronounced like the U in "Fur" but this sound does not exist in Japanese, so "HÖ" becomes "hou"
>"GG" is pronounced like a lone hard G with a glottal stop in front of it, a sound which doesn't exist in Japanese, so "gu" is used instead
>"R" is dropped as it is declension but it can be pronounced as either "ar" or "ur" depending on if you favour Norwegian/Danish/Swedish or Icelandic/Faroese pronunciation
Ergo
>Níðhöggr in Kanji sounds like Niizhougu, which is a feminine name, apparently

>>160010393
Because that's the only way they can spell it.
A N Do Ryu
Again, just have a look at a kana table.

>>160010435
But I mean why Ryu instead of just... Ru? I think that's closer to the pronunciation of Andrew.

>>160010492

Elaborate please.

>>160010214
look at where you are. people are so quick to say "oh hes so stupid, she likes you" but forget the same thing happens to everyone, of course anime ramps it up most of the time to the point the MC is a cliche or a literal retard but still.

now I ahvent watched the anime. but from the 1 chapter they had out at the time , they way she presented thier club seemed so tryhard. like just be a club that enters into competitions, theres a reason theres only like 4 of you.

>>160010605
I don't actually know all that much about Japanese and Ð/ð isn't that complicated a letter, especially when compared to Þ/þ. Þ is like the th found in "Thunder" and "Maths" Both Þ and Ð were Romanised letters in Old Norse and Old English and still both exist in Icelandic.

>>160011141
Oh sorry, I misunderstood you, I thought you meant that Ð is pronounced like the "th" in "Than" but also like a "zu" where the "u" can be dropped.
I assumed both halves of the sentence were dedicated to pronounciation but the other half was how nips butcher the sound when writing it.
My bad.

Probably they use either Spanish or Dutch pronunciation.

Fuck off.

One thing I don't get is why this club only seems to play multiplayer games. Because I looked at the boxes in the room and there actually were a lot of single player games in there. So who's playing those? On that note, it was pretty cool that they had recognizable boxes for a lot of actual, real games, not just visual novels or something.

And actually, isn't it weird he said "You don't play the kind of games I like" when he had fighting game posters in his room and the quiet girl was playing a fighting game? I swear if this kid likes Blazblue but not Guilty Gear I'm gonna punch him in the face.

>>160014673
A lot of those games are leftovers from the previous club members, aren't they? Maybe they were more into single player.

>>160013876
Well maybe it's from Dutch's spelling. In my country (shithole cunt at SEA), Inggris the word for UK.

>>160014836
How the club has fallen. This show had better involve him revitalizing the club by showing them the greatness of single player games.
