Another week in the books. Let's chat about manga in the general discussion thread! Feel free to use this thread for questions, comments, recommendations, etc.

Like normal, please be careful with spoilers. I wrote a guide about spoilers in case you need a refresher on how to handle them (also linked in the sidebar).

I'm becoming more and more confused about what the intended plan is for the post confession plot of The Guy She Was Interested in Wasn't a Guy at All. It really feels like the series failed to find its footing after the time skip and kind of flops around hoping for something that sticks.

I dunno, maybe it's just me. I still like the series but it needs a new spark, preferably sooner rather than later.

Yeah after the break it seemed like they found a plotline to follow, but now I'm no longer sure

I've been getting a bit annoyed about The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity. Maybe I've become too cynical, but it's all too... idyllic. Like, it's great that characters can talk stuff out, but all conflict just ends up solved quite easily with no real pushback. All characters are unbelievably mature, understanding and insightful. They're nearly flawless angels. Sometimes it feels like they're all the same character with only superficial differences. For the teachers, that'd be one thing, but we're also talking about high schoolers here.

This is most apparent with the latest arc. It touches upon a cornerstone of the setting of this manga and the main source of conflict in it. It finally addresses it and it's... resolved so easily.
