Another absolutely amusing chapter, Sensei in shirt looked hot. Also that butt fanservice was great.

That was a really fun chapter, with Nariyuki and Mafuyu playing a dating simulator together. Even if their knowledge gained from the game won't be helping their student's romance, at least it'll help develop the romance between them.

The way she looked at him at the end - super effective, almost a critical hit! :' )

Who was he supposedly "chasing, but never catching", anyway?

Not sure if Mafuyu is still naive or this is her way to subtly say to Yuiga that she likes/loves him.

I laughed so much reading this chapter! Glad to see Yuto and Kurisu-sensei return from chapter 84 (even though it looks like Yuto has been changed in localization to Yuito, lol).

They also played that dating sim until at least 2:30 in the morning. Gamers after my own heart.

Chapter 178 was a little bland IMO, but I feel encouraged after this one! I can't wait to see where it goes next! Looking forward to next Sunday!

I'm liking the development between Kirisu and Yuiga here.

This route's going pretty strong so far, and I'm loving it.

Oh, good catch! I completely forgot about that in chapter 84. I like that Tsutsui references a lot of things from the past in the routes.


Chapter 84 is one of my favorites! I hope that chapter 93 makes a return by the end of the story. ;)

Riichiro said:

Seems like she was thinking Nariyuki might have gone out with one of the other girls. And speaking of, Mafuyu did pluck at Nariyuki's jacket in her imagination during Uruka's route ... glad she finally got to do it for real. Haha


Well, I think she had reason to believe that based on what happened in the base story. The girls didn't really make it that much of a secret that they were all interested in him. Based on what happened in chapter 130, for example, I could believe that Mafuyu would believe that he dated someone after he left high school.

Bringing up the parallel to chapter 144 is interesting. The scene you mentioned was when Mafuyu buried her feelings for Nariyuki in that timeline and the scene in this chapter may very well be the beginning of realizing her romantic feelings for him.

I have a few other ideas on where the route may go based on what has happened so far in this route as well as the rest of the story (other endings included) but I think it would be too much speculation, lol. I think, ultimately, the lesson we learned from Fujie is going to be the key to this route:

"Well, see, I thought about it all evening, and it started to feel like a hassle, so I just confessed my feelings! So, problem solved!"

I always liked the Nariyuki x Mafuyu pair because they always fit together without really trying. Both of them overthink things so I think the confession will occur when something happens to the effect of, "On the count of three, let's just say what we feel at the same time!"

In stories love is often complicated, but I think most romances are ordinary without a ton of drama. IMO, this pairing is the most ordinary because they just "get each other." When they come to realize what the audience has seen since all the way back in chapter 16 and reinforced in chapter 22, I think we are in for a beautiful moment! Can't wait to see it!

The eroge game was the perfect way for them to open up

You have a great memory! Chapter 93 would be a fun one to revisit as well. Haha. Love chapter 130, too.


I don't really have a great memory... but what I do have is a spreadsheet I made of all the chapters that Mafuyu is in. It makes it pretty easy for me to reference stuff fairly quickly. Example of my format:

Vol. 21, Chapter 179 - [X] = The Queen of Thin Ice, Part 2
Mafuyu Ending. Mafuyu and Nariyuki play a dating simulator together.

I'll post a copy of the spreadsheet on the forums after the manga finishes so those that just want to read the Mafuyu chapters can easily find them.

I think Nariyuki and Mafuyu are a great pair. There’s no guards up with them and they get each other. One part I loved about this chapter was that in the game Mafuyu chose the “Do it on your own!” option and gets a game over, and then pulls the same thing on Nariyuki telling him she’ll beat the game herself and he chooses to stay and help.

Fujie’s situation could definitely be a little bit of foreshadowing. It be fun to see them just low-key confess in the middle of bickering over something. Haha

I think that line “All I can do is chase, but never catch up.” is important, too.


I love that line back in chapter 22 regarding Mafuyu not hiding her true self from Nariyuki, "Naturally. Only in front of you, though. Because you've already seen me around... hiding anything now would be a waste of time." They are kind of in a weird place at present in that they know a lot about each other, but a few things are still unknown. It's going to be fun to see how it all shakes out.

I totally agree that the "All I can do is chase, but never catch up. That's me." statement is going to be explored more. No matter which timeline we end up in, our boy always has an inferiority complex to some degree, and it seems to be in full swing early on. It could be rough for a couple of chapters as they both move through their insecurities, but I think the payoff is going to be worth it! Gah, is it Sunday morning yet? XD
