If there was ever a show that could use an anime original ending, this would be it....

True...

I feel like each chapter of the manga either adds nothing to the plot or is just dragging something that could be done in 3-5 chapters to like 20 chapters. Heck the author did a chapter where it was pretty much hentai...

The anime should just end it in season 2 for the love of god

That said hentai chapter was boundary-pushing for what a weekly shounen mag would allow.

The thing is, the manga actually has a really good natural stopping point. They just wouldn't let it end though and keep on milking this. After this season they should just make a movie adaptation of the film arc and put this to bed.

The reason for the outcry (warning, heavy spoiler) spoiler[He gets a hard on imagining his 'girlfriends' getting 'done' by others. Meanwhile, his own progress in relationships is a round zero after +200 chapters...]
It has nice art, and considering its 'popularity' there are times when I think I really should give it a chance. And then I read the current chapter of the time, and realize why I never did give it a chance those previous times...

So fans don't like spoiler[NTR content]. How weird.

Definitely emphasizing what fans enjoy the most (the girls), although I'm kind of amazed they actually had Sumi getting out his name.

Chizuru's backstory is actually pretty engaging and the strongest parts of the manga, emotionally. So season 2 should be rather solid. You know....before the manga really went downhill after those events. Rolling Eyes

(Sumi is still best girl Crying or Very sad )

As someone who reads the manga, I can only say, personally, I don't like spoiler[NTR content] but when you are 200+ chapters into a manga, I just find it really hard to stop. I have to know what happens. Razz

As to the rest of this thread, yes, it just needs to end after a season two and a movie. The manga goes downhill real quick and drags things way out.

Also agree, Sumi is best girl.
