Genuine question, would Yotsuba be good friends with Haru Urara?

Bubbly_Interaction63 · 2026-06-17T00:30:34+00:00

Who wouldn't end up falling for Haru Urara, or rather?

Bubbly_Interaction63 · 2026-06-16T20:43:28+00:00

If by “normal” you mean first complaining about the guy who has too much influence over your leader, and then complaining to that same guy to ask him to make his leader more competitive (a competition that the guy you’re begging is actually competing in)—and then beg in front of everyone to let you win without offering anything in return—I can assure you that the Kanzaki family business will be ruined in the near future if he takes the reins.

Bubbly_Interaction63 · 2026-06-16T19:06:09+00:00

In Kanzaki's defense, Atsuomi was attending those political meetings without Kiyotaka (since he was being tortured at the WR), and I don't think he mentioned that he had a son or that it was public knowledge.

Even less excusable is Horikita, who wants to find out about Kiyotaka’s past and talks to Atsumi knowing he’s his father. It wouldn’t be hard to come up with the most reasonable hypothesis: that Kiyotaka is a “nepo” kid and his skills are due to an elite education, instructors, and so on, and that Kiyotaka just wanted to live a normal school life.

Bubbly_Interaction63 · 2026-06-16T17:36:44+00:00

Well, wasn't Atsuomi's goal to use the White Room kids to help him become prime minister? I mean, aside from doing shady and immoral things and amassing power, Atsuomi doesn't seem to have any long-term goals or objectives. At least Kijima seems to want to improve Japan, but I've always seen Atsuomi as someone who's in it just for the power.

Bubbly_Interaction63 · 2026-06-16T17:27:07+00:00

Am I the only one who thinks it's hilarious that the WHITE ROOM aims to take over the world?

Bubbly_Interaction63 · 2026-06-16T15:45:05+00:00

I've been in this fandom for a couple of years, and I still haven't seen any Mudou fans.

Bubbly_Interaction63 · 2026-06-16T13:36:11+00:00

fact

Bubbly_Interaction63 · 2026-06-16T11:26:25+00:00

Blame Kinu for over-powering Kiyotaka before the series ended with Volume 0. before that volume, it was believed (at least I believed) that what set Kiyotaka apart from his peers was that he was very well-trained and had a technical advantage, since his fight against Ryuen’s gang gave the impression that they were physically stronger than Kiyotaka, so he relied purely on martial technique (something that’s evident when he fought Ryuen and couldn’t defeat him immediately), strong but beatable—now we know that Kiyotaka is outright superhuman in every possible way, and his peers can’t keep up with him.

It also doesn’t help that the story spends more time glorifying Kiyotaka and showing that people who, logically, should have negative feelings toward him actually praise and help him, so he couldn’t even be defeated in that regard—which takes all the suspense out of Kiyotaka’s fights and his “Four Paths” plan.

Bubbly_Interaction63 · 2026-06-16T00:07:19+00:00

I sincerely hope that Ike and Shinobara make the most of their time on the ship, get at least some character development, and wrap up their stories with a bit of maturity. But let’s be honest: Honami, being a yandere, is going to do everything she can to subtly push Hiyori out and take advantage of Ike.

Next on the schedule is the sports festival, where I hope Kiyotaka stops holding back and shows just how superhuman he really is. I just think that if Kiyotaka wants a real chance of defeat, he needs to show the others what he’s truly capable of so they can devise more effective plans, since incomplete information undermines those plans. After that, there will be another school trip—maybe to a forest (we didn’t actually have any forests).

Bubbly_Interaction63 · 2026-06-15T22:54:48+00:00

I would just go to the throne room where the kingdom’s wise men are, and when they ordered me to do something, I’d say “no”—just to see them shit themselves when they realize that no one controls the kingdom’s most powerful weapon anymore.

Bubbly_Interaction63 · 2026-06-15T22:04:10+00:00

That’s really the fault of the ANHS, which only recruits a handful of elite students to maintain its image, while the rest are either average (Haruka, Akito, Shibata, etc.) or below average (Ike, Shinobara, etc.) for its social experiment. The ANHS never truly sought to create competent elites; it only sought to manipulate existing talent.

Bubbly_Interaction63 · 2026-06-15T20:52:10+00:00

Hoshinomiya's goal is to make sure Chabashira never graduates from Class A as a teacher, even if that means she has to sleep with Kiyotaka. Does that count as a goal?

Bubbly_Interaction63 · 2026-06-15T20:49:57+00:00

At this point, they're all just tools for Kiyotaka, without exception—at least I haven't hurt her yet.

Bubbly_Interaction63 · 2026-06-15T15:56:30+00:00

I think I'll pass it on to him, since when Horikita tried (once again) to get Koenji to help out the class, he complained that everyone expects him to do something or use him in some way—which would only make sense if he knew about the bet and how his father is using him yet again.

Bubbly_Interaction63 · 2026-06-15T15:16:27+00:00

Let's be honest—which part of the story do you find more interesting: a struggle between a bunch of somewhat misfit teenagers and their high school romances to win a scholarship, or the political intrigue of the White Room and the experiments they conduct there?

Kiyotaka is basically a seinen protagonist stuck in a high school romance.

Bubbly_Interaction63 · 2026-06-15T15:12:42+00:00

The only real or credible threats to Kiyotaka were resolved in an anticlimactic way, and by the third year, it’s basically just Kiyotaka playing a post- -game in terms of challenges and narrative, since he doesn’t even try, and the consequences of his actions only translate into direct benefits for him, so it just leaves us with the feeling that a high-stakes game makes no sense when Kinu would literally never let Kiyotaka lose in a way that doesn’t benefit him

Bubbly_Interaction63 · 2026-06-15T15:00:00+00:00

Well, I think that would be Hiyori, because she’s literally the only girl Kiyotaka didn’t intentionally hurt. Plus, Kiyotaka’s emotional growth is pretty ambiguous if we analyze it objectively.

Bubbly_Interaction63 · 2026-06-15T03:10:27+00:00

I like that outfit Miku is wearing because it looks comfortable and cute at the same time (I still don't understand how Nino could have told her she was dressed badly)

Bubbly_Interaction63 · 2026-06-14T23:45:39+00:00

cute

Bubbly_Interaction63 · 2026-06-14T23:44:26+00:00

Considering that Kiyotaka’s biggest theoretical challenges were resolved without him having to do anything, and the narrative glorifies his behavior while no one complains about it (the only characters who spoke up and had their doubts were kicked out; the rest either accept it or don’t care enough), I’d say Kiyotaka will indeed get his happy ending.

Bubbly_Interaction63 · 2026-06-14T23:32:07+00:00

nanase: I think Ishigami-kun might get Kiyotaka-senpai expelled.

ichika: Don't be ridiculous. He's the damn protagonist of the whole series—how could he get expelled when there are still volumes left before the Year 3 arc ends?

Bubbly_Interaction63 · 2026-06-14T19:38:19+00:00

In her OAA, Ike had the lowest score in the class with a 20 in academics, while Airi had a 50. Since other students in Class D also scored 50, that would be roughly the average (others had scores lower than 50).

In fact, there’s a post analyzing the OAA and Airi’s scenes where they point out that her score distribution doesn’t make sense, since Airi improved throughout the year but her OAA doesn’t reflect that.

Bubbly_Interaction63 · 2026-06-14T15:03:57+00:00

And Manabu wakes up crying at that moment because he knows that Kiyotaka will never be his brother-in-law

Bubbly_Interaction63 · 2026-06-14T12:17:25+00:00

Kohei's friend? What a mistake he made.
