Genshiken Chapter 122 Discussion

That resolution actually makes sense!

in short, we lost time

So I guess Madarame wasn't ready after all...



Lol, that kiss came out of nowhere.

That was somewhat predictable. Him getting with one of the characters would ruin the relationships with the other now.



Angela was pretty much a given. It's a bit too late to fit her in the story as another transfer student now.

Sue will most likely stay a gag character forever. Even the reason for her rebuttal was half-assed.

I used to root for Keiko, but I guess she's "too real" for Madarame.

Hato was really pushed hard, but since there's this whole story with Yajima getting started, it was quite unlikely as well. Not to mention Madarame was probably right about the ensuing drama, and god, we got enough Hato drama for a lifetime (though I guess there'll be more to come)



So yeah, I can't say I was really thrilled about this whole harem arc, but I have no qualms with the ending. If anything, Madarame went out with a bang. I hope we get back to something a bit more lighthearted and/or otakuish now.

Woo hoo.  Status quo as usual!



That's a harem ending for you.  😀



I wonder if this means we're one step closer to Spotted Flower.

I hope this spells the end of this arc. Let's get back into otaku culture now.

BULLSHIT! I hate when this kind of things happens in Harems... Well I was rotting for Sue, but there was no way he would get with her so any other choice was bad for me.

Please, let it be over, please let it be over, please let it be over!



And seriously, no choice makes sense for the continuation of the manga (unless it was Keiko, who could disappear with Madarame from the story), but it's a damn cowardly move after all this harem shit for that long.



Specially the reasons for not dating Sue and Keiko. Wtf is I prefer to see her fawning over Ogi and I won't date you because you mention Saki too much.



Well, not that Sue can't keep acting the same around Ogi AND date Madarame even if we accept a senseless reason like that. And what about just asking Keiko to stop mentioning Saki? Problem solved!



It's like, Angela was really easy to create the reason and after all the drama with Hato there was also an acceptable reason based on all we see.



But with the other two...



Hoping for more otaku stuff and new characters, specially new male members for the club to balance the POVs

                        ----------------------------------------

                        He decided to not be with anyone.  He has his opinions on all the girls and Hato.  He decided to seriously work.

Yeah, I knew he'd do that, lmao. No way in hell was he just going to burst out and name someone in that situation. Yoshitake-san took it a little far in the end but it's all out of concern, so all's good. Yajima-san and Hato-chan's budding romance next?

This was the most appropriate outcome to the harem arc, but there was no need to make this the single longest arc in the manga.

*Flips table*

This arc was dragged and all for nothing.
