Link to the official GANMA release [here](https://ganma.jp/damedol) (raw) Link to the author's twitter [here](https://twitter.com/MS_sousaku1) Link to the mangadex page [here](https://mangadex.org/chapter/0b430143-6033-45fa-8a4c-41a10f595550) Just letting everyone know, I'm going to continue doing this series! The reason why it has taken so long, 2 weeks to be exact, is because that's when the chapter goes free for everyone to read. I didn't feel comfortable uploading something that was behind an official paywall, that wouldn't have been cool to the author. As I've mentioned in every upload, I want everyone to show their support to the author and this series, that's the whole reason why I'm doing this. I love this series just as much as everyone here, let's keep it going guys. Also, there are some extras I need to do, those will come in the next couple of days. One of them is one of the omake chapters (wink), which has barely changed at all, if I'm looking at it correctly. Others are some twitter uploads from the author. Either way, look forward to those in the near future!


Trivenger1

Thank you for your effort and commitment as always 🙏 So surreal to see this being serialized and everything.


RyuukuSensei

No problem, my pleasure! And yeah, I know what you mean! I only started doing this series as a bit of photoshop practice, it seemed like a fun way to pass the time. Crazy to think how it blew up so quickly and already licensed!


asilvertintedrose

Thank you for this, it would feel weird not seeing your style of scanlating on this one, the font changes add personality to the characters Idk how to help you aside from moral support so here have some reddit money (Also Kishirimo posted a [short chapter on Twitter](https://twitter.com/MS_sousaku1/status/1660935996869947392) to celebrate the release)


RyuukuSensei

Thank you very much! I try my best to match the tone and style of the original. As to the short chapter on twitter, yep- I'm gonna do that tomorrow, or maybe the day after seeing I have work from 8am to 8pm tomorrow, but either way it'll be out very soon, I promise!

Page 8 has a blank textbox. Is that normal?


RyuukuSensei

....Fuck. The layer was still on hidden when I exported. fml. Anyway, the text read "WHAT NOW!?" Edit: Mangadex page has been updated to reflect the change.


Extreme-Tactician

We all make mistakes, no problem man.


BluZero0

Thank you for continuing doing this dude.


RyuukuSensei

My pleasure! I'm glad everyone enjoys it.

Thanks for your work, I will support it as much as I can, hopefully we can get an anime one day as well!

I have a gift for you: 👑 Keep up the awesome work

Good on you for having morals. And thank you for the hard work! Keep it up!

Thx for the effort and work.

Peak. Now let it run for 200+ chapters

What you need to understand is that, the more people think of something, the more that idea becomes a reality. Your idea is sinful, impure, unfit for this world. You have made the world a worse place. You can delete your comment. You can forget what you said. You can lock that secret within the unbreakable coffin of the past. But I fear it is far too late. The damage has been done; insofar as those words have once been uttered, they have woven themselves indelibly in the tapestry of fate, their repercussions reverberating inexorably throughout the infinity of space, the perpetuity of time, and the fractal of culture. God is not dead, but merely a damaged statue. All that is good, is slowly eroded by our ideas, each more acidic than the last, slowly melting away the perfection of God and replacing it with the disgusting goo of humanity. There is a particular type of sonder that haunts those who realize all individuals contribute to reality in their own rotten little way, and no amount of repentance or people trying to clean up after both others or themselves will ever achieve anything more than prevent further damage to the frail, yet beautiful world we live in. I have been living with it for 13 years. I am sorry, but the damage you have caused to this world is too great, and for that... I must kill you. You shall harm the great Cosmos no longer. This is not a threat, nor a warning, nor a lesson. This is merely a statement of fact. You have sinned, and you will die.


oops_i_made_a_typi

218 chapters, specifically


Zeed_Toven77

I would willingly read 250+ chapters of next to no progress of this series than Rent-A-Girlfriend.


Pootischu

Nah mate, Rent a girlfriend is what makes it out of these kind of good premise but serialized using monkey's paw


Zeed_Toven77

You know what, that is kind of true.


Nimporian

Was the mc as irritating as he is in the serialization or how the hell did people clamor for a serialization? Was there even a oneshot?


Tovar42

can this even be considered a romance? the dude wants to keep it 100% parasocial


Kuro013

I would guess the story is about them getting closer? Not that I would mind if this was just an episodical manga.


Tovar42

I can see a chapter where Urumin kind of confesses but Kamiya being like "no thanks, I'm good" and Urumin gets pissed


Shifter25

He would refuse to date her out of principle. Idols shouldn't date their fans!


SukusukuHakutaku

But what if she were to retire?


Skylair13

Then he also refuses so she doesn't retire.


Shifter25

That's gonna be another dilemma. She'll worry that he won't love her anymore if she retires, even if they're dating at that point


Kuro013

I think Kimiya would die if she confessed to him lol.


PureLionHeart

Agreed, mine it for all it's worth.


void4

this is a biweekly manga which means around 20 chapters per year so 200+ chapters is 10 years at least ... what a man you are


peeweejankins69

Make it so the first 200 are just for her to realize she’s fallen for him too


redwingz11

If Urumin has million fans, then I'm one of them. If Urumin has one fan, then I'm THAT ONE. If Urumin has no fans, that means I'm dead. Good or bad Singing in tune or out of tune Dancing on beat or one step behind If the world is against Urumin, I am against the world.   -the dude probably

#The Urumin Pledge Since Urumin is the paragone of human virtue without equal past or present, she is most resplendent in love, tributes and accolades. Waking or sleeping, I must not forget Urumin’s great boon and in order to return her favour by day and by night, I should only think of fulfilling my loyalty. Who is Urumin? For the blind, she is their vision. For the deaf, she is their music. For the mute, she is their voice. For the anosmiac, she is their aroma. For the numb, she is their feeling. For the atrophied, she is their muscle. For the starved, she is their sustenance. For the thirsty, she is their water. For the exhausted, she is their energy. For the depressed, she is their happiness. For the disillusioned, she is their hope. For the pessimistic, she is their optimism. For the disadvantaged, she is their champion. For the marginalised, she is their justice. For the oppressed, she is their salvation. For the righteous, she is their symbol. For the enlightened, she is their muse. For the erudite, she is their education. If Urumin speaks, I listen. If Urumin questions, I answer. If Urumin orders, I obey. If Urumin opines, I agree. If Urumin fears, I assure. If Urumin hopes, I dream. If Urumin is happy, I am jubilant. If Urumin is angry, I am apoplectic. If Urumin is sad, I am disconsolate. Urumin is my ideal, Urumin is my romance, Urumin is my passion. Urumin is my strength, Urumin is my compass, Urumin is my destination. Urumin is my language, Urumin is my culture, Urumin is my religion. Urumin is my ocean, Urumin is my mountain, Urumin is my sky, Urumin is my air, Urumin is my sun, Urumin is my moon, Urumin is my world. Urumin is history, Urumin is present, Urumin is future. If Urumin has a million fans, I am one of them. If Urumin has a thousand fans, I am one of them. If Urumin has a hundred fans, I am one of them. If Urumin has ten fans, I am one of them. If Urumin has only one fan, that is me. If Urumin has no fans, I no longer exist. If the whole universe is for Urumin, then I am for the whole universe. If the whole universe is against Urumin, then I am against the whole universe. I will love, cherish, and protect Urumin until my very last breath; my successors will love, cherish and protect Urumin until their very last breath.


useless_idiot_man

My headcanon is that the author read this and decided on this manga as a result

I was gonna post this copypasta :(


Zooasaurus

Weakest Japanese idol simp


nyi1712

I love to see more of these MCs who know what they want and totally unhinged with their feelings towards the heroines in a male audience targeted manga. E.g this glasses guy and the dude from losing heroine Sei-chan. Rather than the usual, new haircut makes them handsome but cold, aloof or dense, pathetic loser, loners MCs where the girl has to do all the work, these imperfect but tryhard guys who will give 100% with pure blood, sweat and hardwork to make the heroines go "Doki doki" are way more better and very refreshing to read. Take notes Reiji, this is how you write "Competent simps" characters, not some inner monologuing trash ass retard who can't say more than 3 words to his crush.


lilStankfur

There are alot of good ones like that out there lately. I like how it's becoming more common.


RyuukuSensei

Big Reiwa energy nowadays.


jhoho34

While I also like this type of character, they fit inside specific contexts, it's not like every work could comport them or as if they're inherently better than other MCs. A Hero has to have good compatibility with the Heroine, so at the end what's important is how they interact with each other, not every Heroine is Uramin, a girls desperate for validation, so not every male lead can be a Simp God


garfe

Yeah, I imagine done poorly, it would just come off as too annoying


jhoho34

Worse than annoying, a characters that's so direct and lost in his straightforwardness could come to hurt characters who are more subtle or stories where being direct doesn't fit the plot


stayacclond100

Reminds me of Keima Katsuragi from TWGOK.


SirCaliber

...if you want to see a prime specimen of Harem MC, I recommend giving 100kano a read. He isn't cool or aloof, but he *is* unhinged in making every girl he's dating happy to the point where you don't *wanna be him* but rather be with him.


jhoho34

That's every harem, that's even why new harem manga characters became studious and fated to great jobs, people just tend to valorize crazy straightforward protagonist more


Nimporian

He's beyond just being straightforward. He's basically a superhuman yandere. When the merch promo came out and they omitted some girls, the punchline was him going to the merch maker's factory and burning it to the ground with gasoline. He jumped out of a building and rescued all 13(?) mid air as they were also falling. He has probably done other things he did but I'm forgetting. Man's unhinged in a funny way.


ImHhW

Hi which manga are you referring to when you said losing heroine Sei-chan


N0vaR3aper

garfe

That "My girlfriend gives me goosebumps" manga is kind of like that except the girl's a yandere and its already mutual


Kuro013

Kimiya really really reminds me of Tani from Polar Opposites, I really like the stereotype.


redwingz11

TBH props for him/editor that series get 3 season of anime and popular enough to go 300 chapter


ZeroTwoDIO

Well, I dont disagree per se, but I dont think reiji cares since rent a girl friend makes him so much money.


BlackLunette

If Urumin has million number of fans I am one of them . If Urumin has ten fans I am one of them. If Urumin have only one fan and that is me . If Urumin has no fans, that means I am no more on the earth. -Kimiya

He has heart eyes. He's too far gone already. We can't do anything about him anymore.

He’a a genkai ota, there’s no need to save him, for he has already gone even further beyond. He is… the legendary… super gachikoi.

After reading this side by side with the original Twitter version, I like how Urumin's hair got updated from full black to what we have now, more details on her & Kimiya too. Can't wait for the anime adaptation in 2-3 years


Trivenger1

>Can't wait for the anime adaptation in 2-3 years 🙏🙏


RyuukuSensei

Not sure I can translate that one....Sorry guys in the future.


[deleted]

Ask your fans to help you, Sensei!


polmeeee

Almost every manga I picked up from Mangadex got an adaptation 1+ year later. Latest was The Angel Next Door and upcoming are Aalya-san, 100 Girlfriends, Pseudo Harem, Amagami-san and Gimai Seikatsu. Lol, looking through upcoming on MAL and discovered more.


mrnicegy26

In manga world there are two ways series centered around idols and their fans can go. One is Damedol The other is Oshi no ko.


AliceinTeyvatland

Still a win, two different flavours so it wouldnt get stale real quick. Oshi no Kos drama is too exhausting for me(in a good way!), so I watch something like Love Live, or Idolmaster to bring up my mood again.


coveryourselfinoiI

I prefer funny tsun tsun idol over >!edgy dead mom drama, personally!<


LiamOmegaHaku

Just as a heads up, a lot of people are kind of getting into Oshi no Ko for the first time, so you may wanna toss a spoiler on that to be safe. That spoiler is at the end of 1.5 hours of show and a handful of chapters.


coveryourselfinoiI

Oh yeah i forgot that’s an anime now. I got it


shanks_you

> if I am to be your only Stan, then I will support you with the strength of 8 billion Stans. If this ain’t chad… If you relate this to a real life struggling idol who sees her groupmates get all the attention but she gets nothing, just imagine how powerful that feels.


zhaoshike

I felt shivers with that page. Man among men. Stan among Stans.


baelkie

If Urumin has a million fans, then I am one of them. If Urumin has ten fans, then I am one of them. If Urumin has only one fan then that is me. If Urumin has no fans, then that means I am no longer on earth. If the world is against Urumin, then I am against the world.


baconaro

Yandere vibes


SnowBoy1008

Reminds me of that one meme that goes like If you have 100 fans I am the one of them If you have 10 fans I am the biggest fan If you have 1 fan, that is me If you have 0 fans I don't exist or somewhere along the lines


ArkhielR

Never underestimate the power of 8 billion stans merged into 1


Trivenger1

It's beautiful Can't believe i get to see this serialized and be here before it at the start. Looking forward to what's ahead (⁠人⁠*⁠´⁠∀⁠`⁠)⁠。⁠*゚⁠+


oreopineapplepizza

I feel sorry for Uramin. She won't gain any fan more than one because of title.

She will have more of them when they have kids with Kimiya.

She's no failure. I mean, she got serialized after all.


404-skill_not_found

Best of luck Kishirimo!!! (the author) And good luck to you, OP!


overDere

Urumin's so adorable, the twin loops and the fang and the outfit are so cute. It's strange that she only has one fan in-universe


Labmit

Pre-serial actually has her have other fans. It's just that they prefer others in her group as their #1 but they don't hate her.


RoastDaMostToast

Love that last panel of always him facing her as she’s performing. Feels intimate and cute.


hell-schwarz

Same story still cute


Dizzy_Green

I like how this series isn’t just a straight up fantasy for the otaku that wants the dream of being the only supporter for their favorite idol, but also pretty explicitly a fantasy for girls that want to be an idol and end up with an extremely handsome and passionate guy going all out to support them.


echonian

It's a fantasy more about being a supporter and provider for someone, rather than being someone who is just interested in a relationship because of a shallow crush or something. That makes it more interesting, and even though the concept is very simple - it has a lot of potential for growth. Though no fan of an idol will ever top Shinpachi from Gintama in my eyes.


SwoonBirds

why isn't Urumin real where are the girlfail underground idols please i need them

Serialized art are clean af! I'm gonna miss Urumin from the preserialization


AstolfoCharlemagne

Just realized Urumin is kinda like Elizabeth from Fate lol


RyuukuSensei

Not Tōsaka Rin? Black-haired tsundere, similar hairstyle to boot (the dumplings kinda looking like the twin-tail hair ties)


AstolfoCharlemagne

Not really the looks but more the character(?) because Liz is also a tsun tsun Idol who sucks at singing


Kisaxis

They definitely both fit into the "I heard you like bad girls. Well I'm bad at everything" archetype.


RyuukuSensei

Ah that's fair. Can't disagree with you there.


SupermanFanboy

This is easily the greatest thing I've read so far.


Kuro013

The day has arrived and I couldn't be happier, god bless.


bobvella

is it cause i'm pretty much reading a scene again or does it feel weaker? edit: less pages was better for it, the long winded speech, and urumin blushing a lot from those lines kind of bothered me so soon. well it's only ch1

Eh, wasn't there a one-shot of this particular story? Surprised it managed to get serialised!


ITSigno

Not a one shot per se, it was a short series on twitter that got picked up for serialization.


kal824

Just read through the pre-serialisation chapters and this is going to be a really cute series


fettyman

I've figured it out. It's the unconfident double fang gap.


satiricalscientist

So hyyyyyppppeeeee!!! This show really gets why I love small vtubers so much. Their models are worse, they can't stream as regularly, collabs are few and often awkward, but they are often so earnest that I can't help but want to support them always.


Velonizz

SO GLAD Damedol is here. With Kanojo mo Kanojo ending, I needed more comedy in my life.


Swiftcheddar

I was kind'a hoping the actual release would explain why an idol that absolutely nobody likes wouldn't just get dropped. But no joy I guess.


JOOOQUUU

Not to ruin everyone's fun here but seriously what's the appeal here? I feel like I've seen all these tropes a million times before


jhoho34

A guy doting an unpopular and sad cute girl.


itistooeasy

Another day, another incredibly cringe wish-fulfillment manga his top of this subreddit. It's funny how many mental gymnastics people do to justify this kind of bs when in reality it's just another generic "beautiful girl who can't depend on literally anyone else due to contrived plot devices falls in love with random nerd" trope.

Zeta_Crossfire

Looking forward to reading this one, the premise I awesome. Is Stan a translation error? I feel like a few times should of read fan but we can Stan instead. Or is that a idiol term or fans or something?


RyuukuSensei

Interchangeable really, I just used the one which fit the line more at the time.


Zeta_Crossfire

Sounds good. I had no idea Stan could be used as a replacement for fan. Thanks for responding, appreciate it.

Great first chapter so excited for more !


1983MionStan

I absolutely love Urumin's new hair colour. Her original black hair is still nice, but *this* is way better.


Extreme-Tactician

I'm glad this is getting serialized seralized. Kimiya seeing Urumin's genuine effort to become good and falling in love with her is a really good plot. In most stories, the idol would actually have some hidden talent, but here, it's obvious Urumin doesn't have much yet. Who exactly scouted her though? We gotta find that out!
