I'm overjoyed.

Thanks.

The author starts to shoehorn the main girl after Botan's arc.
Botan's gonna lose, isn't she?

kill me now

>best girl won't win
I hate forced first girl wins

It's hard to say for sure, namo's done a good job of keeping the audience in suspense over who Itsuki's going to end up with. I think it's also important to remember that Tokujira's central to the manga's plot; it was indirectly due to her that Itsuki started crossdressing, it was her decision to start interacting with fem!Itsuki, and it was because of her that Botan and Itsuki first met. In a way, the story is just as much about Tokujira overcoming her androphobia as it is about Itsuki building a castle of lies. Focusing a few chapters on her makes sense, and doesn't necessarily imply that she'll be the one to win the bowl.

Who am I kidding, no matter how much I hope she wins, Botan's going to lose ;-;

Thank you!

Botan will win. Just you wait, ye of little faith.

>OP pic features best girl
>it's a main girl chapter

Goddamnit, OP! You liar!

>its a chapter about literally who girl

You can count instances of first girl doesn't win on one finger.

Why is Botan so much of a best waifu material? She deserves to win the trap.

Author better not screw this up. Botan's win is set up quite naturally and is right there. Actually liking the MC for who he is and not for what he was pretending to be unlike the thorn queen.

Can Sup Forums use meme magic with this so best Girl Botan would win

Soon enough you'll need two fingers for that.

>Actually liking the MC for who he is
Her coming to terms so easily with the whole crossdressing double-identity thing is actually a major flag for her losing if you think about it.

At least MC reacted better when Botan kissed him than the lesbian kiss. Fuck the author for making me hope that there's a chance.

This chapter didn't imply anything, but I don't know guys. I just have this feeling Botan isn't going to win.

We better pack our bags and go home.

if get, botan lose in a True Tears style

>tfw Botan's victoy is looking shakier and shakier
Fucking namo, how can he even think about making her lose.

>cross dressing
Dropped, like a turd into a toilet bowl

>We better pack our bags and go home.
Botan will win you fucking Tokijura falseflagger.

>We better pack our bags and go home.
I'm going to ride the Botan train and go down with it when it inevitably crashes user.

Don't forget to wipe your ass.

I shit clean

If Botan wins, I could cry tears of joy.
And if she doesn't win, I'll cry bloody tears.
