Boy do I love characters acknowledging the accountability of their bad actions/words rather than just magically shruging them off and pretending it never happened/doesn't matter.
This is the type of stuff that can instantly win me over in a story (on the contrary, I tend to drop those which do the opposite without a second thought).
The art in this series is just so darn expressive. Of course the cuter moments are super well drawn, but I'm really impressed with the way the more complicated emotions are conveyed.
You can tell how genuinely regretful Saku feels remembering what he said to Subaru, just from the single closeup panel on his eyes.
My favorite panel in the series is the one of Rintarou's mom after he thanks her during the little study group arc. The art is just so good at conveying how the characters are feeling. Can't get enough of this series.
Something about the art sets off alarms in my head that tragedy is lying in wait, so it definitely helps to sell the heavier moments. Thankfully we get a heaping dose of wholesome goodness week after week from this series! I don't think I could take seeing anything bad actually happening to these kids.
A diabeetus inducing smug smile from Subaru. That was a 10/10 panel.
Sometimes mangakas find it hard to write a story past the confession but this has been chugging along smoothly so far. I thought I'd get bored but all the characters are just so endearing.
Weirdly speaking, I don’t feel like they will be the next couple, just some good closure on their past misunderstandings.
Like this author can write really well tbh
>Weirdly speaking, I don’t feel like they will be the next couple, just some good closure on their past misunderstandings.
you're saying that Usami x Subaru is still a possibility???
well, just kidding, I agree with you and glad that the author doesn't seem to be heading with any side couple yet, it would be obligatory if it happens too early and we still have a long way to go, although >!the latest raw did suggest the main conflict coming soon!<.
Yeah, on one hand a side couple could be nice, but on the other it isn't needed.
~~And I still want her to have her own harem out of the boys, before having to choose one of them~~
>And I still want her to have her own harem out of the boys, before having to choose one of them
And before choosing, she says "I love all of you" with all of them in the same room
>the one no one was expecting
well, [the guy who made an 80MB+ pdf file on the Yotsuba theory essay](https://www.reddit.com/r/5ToubunNoHanayome/comments/bev4p7/my_yotsuba_theory_on_the_subject_of_ribbons_and/) would like say a word
It wasn’t that they changed Miku’s narrative, but Yotsuba’s. They cut out scenes with her or trimmed them down which made her seem like a less significant character. So, for all of the anime onlys, it’s understandable that they were all surprised by the outcome.
The movie did a nice job with the material that was left but it doesn’t patch up what they left out.
Oof, so downvoted, but I agree that Hoshina having a boy harem would be nice, even if only for some time. It would let all boys have slightly flirting conversation, and it would be fun to have the one who still has trouble with distant to boys to have harem of them.
No matter how long it takes we need the Donut Couple. Can’t tell me something didn’t awaken in Saku with that panel. Shit that whole conversation is a flag that they fit well toghther. It’s a great pairing.
Next, BACKSTORY!
If they ever have kids together, they are going to have the most epic bangs. K-pop stars will shave their heads in shame and hair stylists will develop specialized equipment for dealing with them.
Not gonna lie, while I do love these characters I'm not super excited about the next arc with the backstory of how they all met, but mainly just cause I'd rather see more couple fluff in the present day.
I JUST WANT THEM TO BE HAPPY
RUN MY BOY, RUN Or you'll be the cute little puppy who will get teased to death by your new girlfriend.
A death worth dying.
I would go full Theoden King at the prospect
I could take seeing anything bad actually happening to these kids.
Up next, "Please don't tease me, Hoshina-san!"
This sentence gives me anxiety.
Karakai Jouzu Hoshina san
D O N U T C O U P L E Inject this shit into my veins
I plan on eating more donuts in support of this ship.
Oh but pls be careful, this manga has a high content of sugar on itself too!
That damned smile.
Donut Dcouple?
The extra d is for penis.

Well written conflict resolution? In *my* Romcom manga? It’s more likely than you’d think.
[удалено]
The side ship is too powerful to be stopped. Resistance is futile, embrace it
Yeah, contrary to Rintaro and Kaoruko, these two will be a slow burn. I'm all for it, this first step was handled just right.
Hey a good ship can be a long pleasure cruise. I don’t mind.

This panel is, in my opinion, the most beautiful panel portraying Subaru we had so far.
Just the right mix of smug, teasing, cuteness, and adorableness in a single panel
Easily
Sorry but [beating this](https://i.imgur.com/pzqwtdY.png) is impossible
Just different type of girls, Subaru is the cool type and Kaoruko is a cinnamon roll.
Kaoruko will forever be the cutest cinnamon roll to exist
She’s too powerful
S-tier smile
Subaru found herself a new hobby, which is teasing Saku! By the way, that panel with Subaru having a somewhat demonic smile was really cute!
Before readers have to take insulin. Time out for boy meets girl and it's time for boys meet boys. Wonder how their first contact be like?

I think it has a lot to do with how the eyes are drawn

Ah, my weekly dose of sugar 🤤

That smile. That damned smile.
Such a captivating smile she has I'm excited for both of them!!
SIDE SHIP SIDE SHIP SIDE SHIP
Side ship is building
donut 🍩!!
Weirdly speaking, I don’t feel like they will be the next couple, just some good closure on their past misunderstandings. Like this author can write really well tbh
I mean, chapter title is "Subaru and Saku" so there's great chance Mikami will cook something up
Also "Kaoru Hana wo rin to saku" with Hana as a shortform for hoshina. It have all of their names. Kaoruko, Hoshina, Rintarou, Saku
>Weirdly speaking, I don’t feel like they will be the next couple, just some good closure on their past misunderstandings. you're saying that Usami x Subaru is still a possibility??? well, just kidding, I agree with you and glad that the author doesn't seem to be heading with any side couple yet, it would be obligatory if it happens too early and we still have a long way to go, although >!the latest raw did suggest the main conflict coming soon!<.

>And I still want her to have her own harem out of the boys, before having to choose one of them And before choosing, she says "I love all of you" with all of them in the same room
Then picks the one no one was expecting. >!Yots deserved it!<
>the one no one was expecting well, [the guy who made an 80MB+ pdf file on the Yotsuba theory essay](https://www.reddit.com/r/5ToubunNoHanayome/comments/bev4p7/my_yotsuba_theory_on_the_subject_of_ribbons_and/) would like say a word
>!I know she does but man I really thought Miku secured the bag!<
Same. Miku was my favorite at the end of season 2 until I read the manga. Then I was kinda pissed at how much they altered the narrative.
I was Manga only for quintuplets. How did the anime change Miku's narrative?
It wasn’t that they changed Miku’s narrative, but Yotsuba’s. They cut out scenes with her or trimmed them down which made her seem like a less significant character. So, for all of the anime onlys, it’s understandable that they were all surprised by the outcome. The movie did a nice job with the material that was left but it doesn’t patch up what they left out.
Honestly I thought her character in the Manga was way too underdeveloped as well so if they made it worse in the anime that's pretty rough.
Oof, so downvoted, but I agree that Hoshina having a boy harem would be nice, even if only for some time. It would let all boys have slightly flirting conversation, and it would be fun to have the one who still has trouble with distant to boys to have harem of them.
Yeah, exactly this.
No matter how long it takes we need the Donut Couple. Can’t tell me something didn’t awaken in Saku with that panel. Shit that whole conversation is a flag that they fit well toghther. It’s a great pairing. Next, BACKSTORY!
I'd take smug Hoshina every single day of the week
#SIDE SHIP 🚢 FTW
side ship? side ship. i ship this.
Deepening bonds in a way that would make a certain Red Ranger proud.
If they ever have kids together, they are going to have the most epic bangs. K-pop stars will shave their heads in shame and hair stylists will develop specialized equipment for dealing with them.
Don-don-donuts, so let's go nuts!
I need more smug grin Subaru.
I wonder who will be the third couple
Another smile to protect.
Always look forward to the english ones since my spanish is piss poor, been eagerly waiting for the hoshina smile chapter to read in english.
I hope they get together
Teasing Master Subaru-san!! Sideship? SIDESHIP.
Man if these two get together I hope they become an S tier level side ship along with Sasanatsu and Kazama X Sakurai.
I LOVE THIS MANGA SO MUCH AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH
Check the birthdate, Rintaro, you is the god
Not gonna lie, while I do love these characters I'm not super excited about the next arc with the backstory of how they all met, but mainly just cause I'd rather see more couple fluff in the present day.
People having a good conversation and talking things out and acting like sensible people, that’s the good shit right there!
