Hatsukoi Zombie 73

Hmm. What can possibly happen this week?

Not a confession, that's for sure.

73: A refrain for two
[Side] They found a hint that's related to Kyouko's model, but......!?
"Found her!"
"She really is your look alike, Kyouko-chan!"
[Bottom] The newest volume 6 is selling really well! No it isn't

But...

"Oh my gooooood"
"This girl doesn't see uussss"
Awawawa
Waaaiit

"Eve-chan, go call Tarou-san!!"
"I got it! Huh? But where's Tarou-chan..."
"In the shrine. If you go there..."

"...Eve-chan?"

"Huh...?"
"What's... this?"

"That radiance..."

"Tarou..."
"I'm..."

Can't wait for fucking nothing.

He just said 'Turn me back into a girl' just now...
And her voice...? [TN: It's hard to translate specific personal pronouns, so I improvised]

"Ibusuki-kun"
"Then maybe you really are a..."

"If you and your first love share mutual romantic feelings, but then you deny that love"
"You'll stop seeing the first love zombies"
...I'll try this method out.

Then after that, if I don't see any first love zombies when I go out of the cave,

Then it's proof that we finally gained a mutual love that goes beyond 10 years...

And,
That love will be put to an end for all eternity in a single moment...

But it was the salvation I was looking for for 10 years now...
I'll say it.

I'm a girl.
And I also...

"...can't say it!"
"I don't wanna experience 10 years worth of heartbreak...!!"

HAHAHAHA. Gensokyo here I come

Of course

Of fucking course.

What were we fucking expecting

If this shit keeps up, I hope it dives;
I'm tired of this wishy-washy shit and I'm sure everyone else is, too

"...I got a little too into my role..."
"Now the ceremony's over"
"Uh..."

"Ceremony? ...that part as well just now?"
"It was written on the paper, right? It said 'The princess hugs the dragon'."
"No, that was..."
"Anyways, it's done!"

"It's just as I said."
"I'm going home since I figured out the 'method'"
"At the end of the day, I couldn't do a single thing"

"And I'm just running away..."

"...what"
"When you say 'you're going ahead'"

"Are you gonna see your first love?"
"So you plan on never coming back anymore once you stop seeing the first love zombies?"

".....well..."
"Don't go"

"I'm scared"

"The moment I figured out how to stop seeing the first love zombies,"
"The first thing I thought of was"

"You won't be by my side anymore"

"When I think about being the only one continuing to walk alongside Eve, whom nobody else can see, from now on"
"I actually just"
"Got scared..."

"You really saved me just by being here..."
[No need for le flashback bubbles]

"I know I have no right to say this to you since you've been fighting this pain alone for 10 years"
"But"

"Just be by my side"
"A little longer..."

What's this? Do I smell le status quo being restored in one mere chapter?/spoiler]

There was no need to run
I can still stay by Tarou's side...

"Tarou"

"I also"
"Tarou-chaaaan!!"

"Eve!!"
"Ahhh, there you are!!"

"Where did you go!"
"Tarou-chan, am I weird?"

"Weird... what about?"
Your whole existence is weird.
That's not it...
"Aghh, leave it for later!"

"More importantly, just hurry over here!!"

"Eve-chan!"

"Oh thank god you found him"
Whew
"I found the fish flag right away"
"This was all I could come up with. [Small] Blush"

"Umm..."
"She really is a look alike..."

"Do you know someone named Hiyuugami Kyouko-san?"

"...I still can't get myself out of these clothes......"

"Tarou, you're back......"

"Thatgirl..."

"Great grandpa, this is Kuroki Minori-san"
"Kyouko-san's great granddaughter"

"...is Kyouko-sa"
"Doing well?"

"She passed away from old age 4 years ago"

"...is"
"That so"

"I actually have a message for you from great grandma Kyouko"
"She said she wanted me to go to the Dragon-Princess festival and apologize if I ever came across a Kurome Shoutarou-san"

"Apologize...?"

"For what happened at the festival 70 years ago"
"When great grandma Kyouko secretly switched roles with the dragon princess actor and met you in the cave"
"I heard that she asked you to 'run away with her', Shoutarou-san"

"Uh... did that..."
"But you refused her plea then"

At that moment...

"Great grandma Kyouko snapped and used all her strength to hit you in the back of your head with a vase"

"You fell over unconscious, so she ran out in a panic calling for help"
Ohhh, you're awake...
Huh...?
You okay?
"After she confirmed that you were conscious, great grandma Kyouko just went home"
Morooon!!

"She said she wanted to apologize for all that..."
"And I'm apologizing in her stead now"
"Sorry"

Now great grandma Kyouko can pass on relieved
"...which means?"

"There's no way to stop seeing the first love zombies?"
"And great grandpa couldn't see them because he hit his head!?"
[X] Dumping your first love
[O] Just hitting your head

"...which means we're back to square one..."
"But.. I'm glad that wasn't the way to do it..."
"Huh?"

"Kyouko-chan?"
"Where are you...?"
[Right] The 'method' turned out to be a misunderstanding on Tarou's great grandpa's part!! And among all the relief and bewilderment, Kyouko disappeared...!!?

Welp. Anticlimactic. Again. See you all next week. If you haven't dropped this yet, of course.

Yeah, fuck this shit, I'm out.

wow its fucking nothing

aww sheet, Gramps thought she is still alive, but now that she's dead Rabu Zombie is dead too

Until tomorrow when he forgets what happened today.

heh I could see that coming

Less people compared to last week. I guess everyone dropped it now

I fucking knew it.

Fuck, why do author's tease their readers with shit like this?
I'm pretty sure there are more clever ways than the "I can't say it!" to tease the audience. I swear if this keeps going happening, I'll have to drop it.

Eh, I've seen worse copouts. Inching forward is better than no progress at all.

go read jitsu wa watashi wa

This series jumped the shark, no one gives a crap anymore. It is clear that they are just dragging a rotting corpse until it hits the finish line.

Until they break shrimp's heart, and trap goes into a relationship with MC, the series will just keep on plodding in this pace. It is like Hayate no Gotoku but not funny.

Fuck Ibusuki. This just further proves why s/he doesn't deserve to win.
Eve all the way

Absolutely fucking nothing, just like the last 72 chapters.

Series needs to go back to lighthearted fun and fanservice and cut the dead weight (otherwise known as ibusuki)

If it's going to refuse to make progress here, it needs to at least go back to Tarou helping couples get together.

See you next week!

Thanks for sharing user. I honestly don't care that they shit the bed on Ibusuki chapters.... So long as Eve continues to be best girl and Ibusuki moves out of the way so Eve gets a chance to shineeeee

I'm in the chapter with the gyaru and the datty and so far it seems alright. Not digging the reverse trap but the others are fine.
Does it get that much worse?

>not being on team Ebino

The same shit happening over and over again in a vicious cycle of no fucking progress after over 70 chapters is about as bad as it can get. I'm not sure how it can get "worse"

If they're smart they should just have him and Eve get together, and then use Ibusuki as a cover for marriage so he won't look like he's crazy. Then everyone gets a happy end.

And all the people who don't like Ibusuki can take satisfaction in the idea that she will never be MC's true love because of her status as a beard.

And the worse thing is that he tried to bait us with progress.

>complaining about a lack of progress in a harem manga
It's less than ideal, but it comes with the fucking territory.

Just starting this, does Ebino has any chance at all?

So, does that mean when someone's first love die, rabu zombis are also die ?

>harem

This.....actually works for me

>>Ebino
>>Eve
>>Reverse Trap
I've seen harems start with fewer casts

It would seen that way, but not really. She's got better odds than the average childhood friend/tomboy, but less of a chance than, say, Kanako from Nyan-Koi.

Zero

Her only existence is for future drama and big titty fanservice.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Okay, I'm in the "Misawo arc" and i'm already losing interest in this.
Knowing Ebino is irrelevant makes it safe for me to drop this. Thanks guys.

>weekly shonen Sunday
>Releases on a Wednesday
Why?

Still better than Himegoto.

At least for me the problem isn't the lack of progress itself but teasing that there'll be progress just to shut it down.

They could literally just solve a side character's problem or some shit.
