>Keitarou Itsuki is a junior high school student unhappy about the menacing look of his eyes. Keitarou tries to confess to the girl he likes, Aoi Tokujira, but she rejects him flat out. Thinking that his eyes were the reason why she rejected him, he confides in his older sister about it at her salon, who helps by giving him a complete makeover... as a pretty girl!
The 2nd girl is miles better than the main girl, holy shit. There is some hope that she wins judging by the latest chapter..
Discuss.
Blake Bennett
If Botan loses, we riot.
Joshua Phillips
...
Asher Watson
The main girl got better in the last chapters.
Still, Botan is just too precious.
Cooper Jenkins
Damn, how did I miss this? I'll give it a go.
Owen Campbell
Volume 1 is mediocre but it improve immensely on volume 2 onwards. Fans in Japan also want Botan to win.
Logan James
It just serves as a reminder that best girls never win.
Matthew Parker
Holy shit. I've lurked for 2 years in [a/ and I've never heard of this work. Had to post my first time just to thank OP. Thanks OP. Now I'm telling reddit about this nice new work. Bontan for the win!
Jonathan Brown
Please don't shitpost in ookami threads.
Isaiah Young
>straight trap Picked up.
Carson Parker
>shitpost Wut.
If OP did not discover this manga, I wouldn't be reading it right now.
Kevin Gray
Seven chapters in and I can confirm that Botan is indeed a qt. I also like the sister.
Grayson Nguyen
>sister
Noah Garcia
You guys didn't tell me this had explicit pornography.
Daniel Bennett
Inb4 "not blood related"
Carter Richardson
>sister
Oh boy
Julian Collins
Keep reading.
Matthew Lopez
>realize there was a new chapter >this scene comes up
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Carson Thompson
i just want to know who wins before i get into this. i don't want to get invested in the wrong girl emotionally like you losers
Daniel Green
Fuck off faggot.
Luis Martinez
Based off the last chapter, Botan loses.
Jason Jenkins
>three threads in the past 24 hours >does anyone else read this? c'mon
Aaron Turner
It took me a year to pick up this show. First time I heard of it, I thought it was just a typical trap manga. Not really my interest.
Then threads started having Botan and I was caught. I want to have Botan as my daughter. She's the cutest heroine ever.
Sebastian Russell
>see thread >characters in the op look cute >summary seems cute/fun >just finished reading it Holy shit this is great, just burned through the 30 chapters.
Botan is an absolute miracle. I really hope she wins but that cliffhanger end though, how often to chapters get released? The manga doesn't drag out drama which is great so I imagine we'll get a proper resolving of the love triangle next or in the coming chapters.
BOTAN FIGHTO!
Xavier Bennett
Judging by the LATEST chapter? I swear, most people who read this don't actually think about what they're reading and simply swing between assuming the worst and the best rather than looking over the series as a whole and determining what's more likely.
Like for the most part I've predicted how this series would go for over a year (from how Botan would react, to how Aoi felt, and the MC's actual feelings, particularly toward Aoi) with the only things throwing me off pretty much being Botan doing awesome things beyond the scope of what I thought was possible. But yeah, this series hasn't been written in a way where you could only ever tell how things would go by the latest chapter, you could start building a case for Botan from chapter ONE.
And even with all that I'm not believing anything's guaranteed. Just like how I predicted Chihiro winning in TWGOK I still can't be certain everything will go the way I want.
David Lee
so you're saying you can see the ending?
Mason Cox
It's monthly.
Wyatt Perry
Yes, though I'm not bragging. It's all there, from the superfluous fantasy of Aoi and Itsuki's relationship, to how his "older sister" called him out on his frivolous crush almost immediately after the series BEGAN, Botan's tendency to just be a good friend, how Aoi only likes Itsuki in disguise, etc. etc.
Bentley Nelson
The next chapter will be out on November 10th at 12 Japan time (so I think that's November 9th, 11pm EST)
Dominic Taylor
I think the only reason people are obstinate about Botan losing has to do with being victims of hack writing where the story forced the first girl to win, regardless of how shit she is compared to every other girl
Jace Peterson
...
Austin Bailey
Yeah, which is a bit insulting. Most series where another girl is preferred don't have such an overwhelming opinion in favor of that girl. There's a reason we do, and it's entirely namo's writing. Like, I've said before how her even being a love interest was not something expected, so breaking tradition is the norm for this series.
Parker Bailey
Perfection.
Christopher Hughes
Should I abandon all Botan hope now or stay invested and end up disappointed?
Jordan Phillips
perfection
Samuel White
...
Lincoln Carter
Now is the time to root for her, it's her best shot.
Juan Hernandez
Wait, there are another thread like this?
Blake Gomez
I've only been reading for a few months but every time a new chapter is posted, there's a thread asking if anyone is reading this,.
Grayson Barnes
You should have "Botan" as filter. More effective than the series tittle.
Nathan Foster
Well, I liked it so far. Botan is cute as hell, but I hope Aoi wins.
Aaron Sanders
>implying you will have the choice of who you're getting emotionally invested in We don't know who wins yet, so just go for first girl. Isn't it always a sure bet, after all?
Ian Walker
...
Cooper Clark
>But you told me it was THIS big!..
Jace Scott
You had me at trap.
Jordan Peterson
Botan will win.
Angel Long
She better.
Samuel Perez
Who the fuck cares about the crossdressing dude or the autistic manhater? The whole manga should be about Botan.
Easton Moore
Botan will win. But her soul will choose to go back in time, the time when she was happiest, and she will be at Volume 1 Chapter 3 Page 29. That other girl who loves Itsuki wants to be with him too and wants to be in a time when Itsuki'd loved her, but since he already loves Botan she'll go back in time before Itsuki is born, and become his mother.
Blake Howard
>The whole manga should be about Botan. >Implying it isn't already.
Joshua Phillips
Anime when? I just want Botan to be voiced by Kana Asumi.
Joseph Campbell
Lewdest manger I've ever seen. Handholding, dude!
Brandon Ramirez
>not wanting Botan to be voiced by Syaro
Noah Harris
Is this popular enough to get an anime?
Chase Rivera
Well, how popular does a manga need to be before getting adapted?
Evan Davis
At least 6 of this season's anime adapted from manga no one barely heard of.
Ian Wilson
Took me a while to realize. Long-haired Itsuki WAS Madoromi-chan!
Julian Wood
hair too straight
Nolan King
>She tells Itsuki to go after Botan
Ho boy. I can already where this is going. This is not going to end well.
Jason Diaz
Does anyone else like to start off conversations with "does anyone else?" Anyways, I live for Botan, and I will die for Botan. Two years in, and for the rest of my life, I will love Botan.
Angel Smith
>tfw I'm just a newfag of only 6 months in the Botan love How have you managed to endure the wait between each chapters for so long?
Nathan Cooper
I've been reading since the 4th chapter, when hachimitsu released the first tankobon. It has been that long?!
Dominic White
>Wanting it to be ruined by an adaption.
Aiden Reyes
I fucking hate myself. Pure and simple. I also keep up with a lot of manga, so it's a treat when those special series get updated. It has. Time flies.
Gabriel Nelson
I read this before it was popular. Not bragging because honestly I was thinking about dropping it. Volume 1 was okay, but nothing particularly special. I made this thread when I realized what was happening. Not sure if it's the first thread on the subject but ever since then I've been waiting, waiting, hurting, waiting
Brayden Lee
Thanks for the time travel user. It was interesting to see Botan has always been popular and was the main subject of the threads even back then.
Lincoln Adams
Botan is going to lose and that makes me fucking angry
Elijah Powell
Someone needs to send a lot of death threat to this author.
Oliver Parker
Why though? The author even acknowledges that Botan is the best. The fuck is wrong with you
Parker Smith
>there are still people who think Botan will lose.
Camden Cooper
Screencap this post, Botan WILL lose. I am 100% sure. If not, you can laugh at me as much as you want but there is no way she could win.
Gabriel Collins
i dunno because from the 5ish chapters ive read she seems a lot like (i forget the name but the girl who won in molester man) so it is possible for her to win. as in not the "main" girl but her clingy annoying friend (as of chapter 5)
Carter Hughes
Someone should link the Botan roll. I'm prepared for the worst.
Cameron Diaz
you mean this one?
Isaac Phillips
Really? Give me a proof. I still feels uneasy about best girl losing.
Juan Wright
...
Caleb Taylor
Either that user has horrible luck or Botan is destinied to lose.
Camden Long
Just check his Pixiv and Twitter. He definitely prefers Botan over the other one, doesn't mean she'll win though.
Camden Thomas
Well user, I don't know his pixiv and twitter. Should I use the japanese name of this manga to search or something?
Eli Long
Nevermind found it myself. Searching for the author pen name help.
Jeremiah Rivera
...
Adam Davis
Stop being best girl holy shit. It'll hurt when she fucking lose.
Easton Perry
You think she'll lose? His whole reason for even liking Aoi was because he thought she wasn't afraid of his face.
Easton Lewis
>Muh first girl The chapter obviously prepared everything for a Botan win.
Luis Thompson
She has the first girl armor. Only a few of them lose the bowl.
Pic related lose even if she is the first girl.
Carter Hall
Don't forget that his feelings deepened the more he got to know her. Plus, he then wanted to help her come out of her shell and be happy.
David Hall
You'll have to do better than that. One person told me if Chihiro won in TWGOK he'd eat his own shit. He never did, though...
Blake Allen
>series full of main heroines >literal who background type character won in the end glorious
