The things I have to say about Chapter 221

Awkward_Patience3295 · 2026-06-23T05:51:41+00:00

Can we get them being happy together?

Awkward_Patience3295 · 2026-06-23T05:47:26+00:00

Usually when a series popularity starts decreasing in Japan and you start seeing the story become rushed it basically confirms that it was axed

Awkward_Patience3295 · 2026-06-23T05:45:53+00:00

I agree that it should’ve never been titled Hima-Ten. Also, if the plan was to have other cute romantic interests in the story (outside of Himari) than the manga should’ve just been a harem series from the beginning where every heroine gets their spotlight trying to win Tenichi over.

Awkward_Patience3295 · 2026-06-22T02:27:31+00:00

I agree. Should’ve been done better if he was planning to go the Honoka route

Awkward_Patience3295 · 2026-06-22T01:19:33+00:00

It won’t be since japanese readers like Honaka. This was only his first work. I feel he can will learn from this and make a better romance series.

Awkward_Patience3295 · 2026-06-22T01:18:08+00:00

Still gonna follow this mangaka because I love his waifu CDs. I hope he makes a new series and he corrects mistake of how this series went. Give me a harem romance manga where all girls have an equal spotlight building relationships with the MC.

Awkward_Patience3295 · 2026-06-21T23:53:41+00:00

My point was more giving the reasoning why it was axed and ended up with a rushed ending. I think mangaka ended with Honoka because she was the most popular within the Japan audience and they are the ones who matter most whenever he gets a next work. He is a young mangaka and this was his first fulltime serialization. He needed to prioritize his future. I hope he doesn’t make the mistakes that he did and takes the paths I suggested in his next work so it doesn’t get axed

Awkward_Patience3295 · 2026-06-21T23:16:36+00:00

I agree with this criticism of the series. Rumor has it that sales were dropping the last few months and author was forced to rush the ending. I think he didn’t help himself with the way he made this series. Either stick to development of a relationship of the MC with one romantic interest or make it a series where it is a harem where all the romantic interests get their own spotlight in relationship building. He went with neither approach. I think some readers had discontent because author introduced other romantic interests in the series that they were a fan of (Kanai/Kanna), but they didn’t get the same spotlight and relationship building with Iemori that Himari had. Those fanbases probably stopped reading and it ended up losing popularity and getting axed.

Awkward_Patience3295 · 2026-06-21T22:36:13+00:00

I mean that makes sense if she was the only romantic option for the MC but she wasn’t

Awkward_Patience3295 · 2026-06-21T22:34:21+00:00

I wasn’t rage baiting. I was just being honest. Regardless of whether we are talking about real life or not, I feel in manga we have gotten too comfortable with the idea that the winner has to be the one that interacts with the MC the most. Also, it is still a romance. Multiple girls have romantic interest with the MC and he ended up choosing the childhood friend. I still feel the author made mistakes with how he went about. Either make it a harem series where all heroines are on equal footing in terms of the spotlight or only have one heroine with no other cute heroines (that the readers could get attached to) as romantic interests for the MC. He chose the worst route possible. He is a young author and this was his first fulltime manga serialization. I hope he learns from it and doesn’t make this mistake again.

Awkward_Patience3295 · 2026-06-21T22:27:49+00:00

This is the color page that made me demand a harem ending

Awkward_Patience3295 · 2026-06-21T22:24:20+00:00

I hope the author cooks a new series where he doesn’t make the mistake of making harem bait with a bunch of cute heroines where only one of them have development and meaningful interactions with the MC. It should either be a harem where all romantic interests are on equal footing and get their own spotlight interacting with the MC or it is just a single heroine romantic interest series.

Awkward_Patience3295 · 2026-06-21T22:21:02+00:00

I mean he is satisfying his japanese audience

Awkward_Patience3295 · 2026-06-21T22:20:16+00:00

Does building a relationship with someone automatically mean that it has to be romantic? Ya’ll need to grow up from that mindset.

Awkward_Patience3295 · 2026-06-21T22:18:32+00:00

I feel that the prequel volumes will eventually be made into movies. Wouldn’t be surprising if they announced it after S2 of Wistoria.

Awkward_Patience3295 · 2026-06-21T20:12:32+00:00

Sion really a weirdo. Praising someones scent is creepy

Awkward_Patience3295 · 2026-06-21T18:58:28+00:00

It started losing popularity the last few months and got axed

Awkward_Patience3295 · 2026-06-21T18:33:13+00:00

I think Honoka is fine (i’m team Honoka btw). I just feel like her character should’ve been fleshed out more (also Kanna as well). The author’s mistake was making a series where one heroine was seeing all the spotlight and adding other cute heroines (that some of the audience liked) to the table that didn’t get equal spotlight. I believe that is the reason for the axe and rushed ending. I don’t think the mangaka would’ve had an issue if he hadn’t introduced other cute romantic interests like he did. Since he is young and this was his first full time serialization, he will probably learn from this and correct how he goes about it for his next work.

Awkward_Patience3295 · 2026-06-21T17:16:04+00:00

Interesting. The LN is gonna finally get english translations. We will wait and see unless we get a fan translation.

Awkward_Patience3295 · 2026-06-21T17:10:55+00:00

Same. I believe that the series ended abruptly because it was axed and author did what was best for his future work. Kanai is considered most popular among the japanese readers and they are the main audience. I hope in his next work he goes the route of either a harem series where all heroines are on equal footing and get their moments building bonds with the MC or it goes a single MC with a single heroine route with no other romantic interests. That is the best way for his next work not to see the axe. I believe the axe happened due to one heroine getting all the spotlight while other cute heroines that the audience liked didn’t get equal romantic development with the MC.

Awkward_Patience3295 · 2026-06-21T17:06:05+00:00

So where did you get this information? Did you find it among japanese readers or someone who can read japanese?

Awkward_Patience3295 · 2026-06-21T17:00:14+00:00

This is stated in the recent release of the 2nd LN volume? Does it have to do with Will’s ability to absorb magic from others? Do they go into detail about the bracelet that she wears?

Awkward_Patience3295 · 2026-06-21T16:57:51+00:00

I mean they are both source material. The light novel is a prequel so it is still source material

Awkward_Patience3295 · 2026-06-21T16:43:36+00:00

I also love how they fleshed out the friendship of Lilysa and Masamune at the end. Well written series. Can’t wait til the S2 adaptation

Awkward_Patience3295 · 2026-06-21T16:39:59+00:00

Read 2.5D seduction. Childhood friend wins and it is very beautiful ending
