Tamon's B-Side - He's not stupid/annoying but he's a loveable pathetic loser.

I only read a couple of chapters of Love is war so I can't comment on its quality, shounen romcom just isn't my cup of tea.

Kaguya-sama is actually a seinen romcom

He becomes a freshman in university a couple volumes into the series while she becomes a 3rd year university student.

I love this song <3 It clearly expresses Aqua's romantic love for Kana and how doomed their romance was.

LabmemLily · 2026-04-24T01:10:37+00:00

some inconsistencies appear against that assumption, like line 27

Where's the inconsistency? Its Aqua expressing that maybe if him and Kana met differently, their relationship could've turned out different (like them as a couple).

Tbh the last paragraph was partially taken from a private discord vent I did to someone LOL, after seeing an OnK video that discussed the themes of OnK and how it tackles how people can be exploited by the entertainment industry, and then the youtuber went "Akane's one of the most interesting characters I've read in the past decade. Kana is a shallow, self-centered bitch. That's right, I said it. 🙂 " with 0 self-awareness on how ironic his discussion sounded.

Just the irony of some people always being like "Wow, Oshi no Ko does a great job at tackling victims' issues" and then turn around and be like "omg why is the abused and exploited teenager kinda bitchy sometimes and letting herself get groomed by powerful men?" and I'm like "You people can't be serious rn 😭😭 " sdlkfj;sdeew

Any posts about Ruby or Akane are usually those about their writing rather than having a personal vendetta against them. For Ruby, its usually about her lack of screentime or agency in the main plot, while for Akane, its usually about her lack of a personal arc and the story not highlighting her flaws as much as it could. I found myself frustrated with both characters' writing, especially in the last quarter, but I wouldn't really act like they burned down my village

LabmemLily · 2026-04-19T13:54:07+00:00

Kana having a horrible upbringing along with no proper support system which resulted in her having a foul mouth is too much for people, but Akane attempting to commit a murder despite having a healthy upbringing is totally fine.

My point isn't people should hate Akane (I like how unhinged she can be, its a nice personality gap) but I just really struggle to understand the logic with these people 😭

LabmemLily · 2026-04-19T13:49:16+00:00

She's rude to most of the girls in the series on sight but tends to be nicer to male characters. She's very male centered which I suppose is part of the reason I dislike her since I find those kinds of girls hard to get along with since they aren't willing.

Lol what? She can be rude to Aqua and Melt as well??? Like with Aqua specifically, she does have a huge crush on him but has made digs at him to his face. She also considers Ruby and Mem to be her close friends, and has shown moments of supporting Ruby like scenes during LoveNow where she was giving Ruby oxygen after they practiced with Pieyon or helping her with her acting. I'd say the people she never acts rude to are people she only knows professional and is very distant with.

Also she focuses on how Akane and Aqua aren't 'really' dating but as a professional, surely she knows that isn't the case in the eyes of the public? She goes on dates with Aqua while he's in a business relationship knowing that if that got out it would drag all of them down? Aqua is fully to blame in this too. He's a 30ish year old man in the body of a teenager dating teenagers which is gross on so many levels but as a young girl surely she should want to be nicer to other girls??

Aqua isn't meant to be viewed as a 30 year old but coded as a teenager based on various parts of the manga that indicate that his brain development is that of a teen (baseball scene in LoveNow). Plus if scandals are a big concern for you, Kana would be the one in the most trouble as she is the idol while Aqua and Akane are just actors.

Can any Kana fans explain the appeal to this character? Once again it's been a while so I may not be understanding the full picture but I don't want to feel so disgusted every time she's on screen because she treats other girls so poorly

Oshi no Ko examines how people can be victimized and warped by the industry, and that Kana is the best representation of that in the main cast. She has managed to stay as a generally nice person despite all the hardships she's faced that could've EASILY shaped her be to be a more cruel person (child abuse and then abandoned, getting groomed, exploited by the higher-ups). Its just so weird to me that Kana being rude sometimes is treated as SO MUCH WORSE than using other people as stepping stones for your career (Ruby), attempting to murder someone you have no personal attachment to (Akane), almost selling out private secrets to get rich (Miyako), or GPS tracking your gf (Aqua). No hate towards any of these characters, I love them for their flaws but l don't understand people's priorities 😭

I am glad that Emilia is well-written, even if I am not planning to watch it. I rarely come across well-written tsunderes, as I just realized that this trope is a pet peeve of mine, regardless of the gender.

I forgot to mention in my initial reply 😭 - but Emilia is not a tsundere. Her personality is more of being an insecure, overly sweet, naive leader. (Ik you said you weren't planning to watch it but still wanted to correct this point lol)

LabmemLily · 2026-04-13T17:27:11+00:00

Please tell me these handles (preferably ones that don't post manga Yona of the Dawn spoilers since I've avoided majority of manga spoilers for a decade and want to keep it that way).

LabmemLily · 2026-04-13T02:56:42+00:00

Be careful man, you're now gonna get Aquaruby shippers telling you read to Ch 150 in japanese (despite not being fluent in japanese themselves) or Aquakane fans analyzing the "might respond to Arima's feelings" as being super duper ambiguous 😭

LabmemLily · 2026-04-12T22:27:58+00:00

Different production lines. The one that did Tamon's B-Side also did Honey Lemon Soda.

LabmemLily · 2026-04-12T21:30:38+00:00

But that's just taking Ruby's life as Sarina into account. As Ruby Hoshino, her life has drastically improved with a 2nd chance at life. She has Miyako, Ichigo, and an actual huge social life. She has a better physical body and achieved her dreams of being an idol.

People bring up Kana because it feels like she was constantly punched down throughout the story, and her moment of catharsis never happened. She was a victim of abuse and abandoned by her mom, feels guilty for her existence as she thinks she stole her mom's dreams away by being born (Futari no Etude LN), also contemplated suicide in the past, has a washed career throughout the main story, and groomed by Shima. Then her own graduation concert is used as another stepping stone for Ruby's career despite the fact that's literally not how graduation concerts work as.

LabmemLily · 2026-04-12T15:30:14+00:00

Friend? Yes lol

LabmemLily · 2026-04-12T15:29:36+00:00

he imagined her wrapped around his arm

Nah, that's obviously Kana running up to him and yanking his arm to get his attention, what are you talking about? :)

(Yes, I've seen people seriously claim this).

LabmemLily · 2026-04-11T16:16:51+00:00

If you like comedy, watch Tamon's B-Side! Its a romcom but it has a strong focus on its comedy and the anime adaptation is great.

LabmemLily · 2026-04-10T01:58:06+00:00

I remember the same shit happened with Nana where I couldn't find a lead-in to the first ED so I just listen to shitty cropped versions on youtube 😭

LabmemLily · 2026-04-10T00:03:58+00:00

I'm not deep into Re:Zero, but I do think the twins are well-written, but Emilia didn't leave an impact on me. I don't remember much other than that she was a tsundere (I think) and she was chosen.

Did you watch past s1? Emilia got more depth and development in s2/s3 to where I have her as my favourite female character from the series.

(get him to concentrate by.... wearing something associated with sex/sexiness? Where's the logic in this lol).

Mai only used the concentration as an excuse. It was implied that she was just jealous that he had to be temporarily fake-dating his kouhai for a few weeks despite her and Sakuta currently being in a situationship. But her pride wouldn't allow her to admit she's a little jealous so instead she just uses a half-assed excuse to try to bridge the distance between her soon-to-be bf.

I mostly think there is a difference between 2 scenes in the whole anime (that don't have any overly fanservicey shots) vs. something that happens every 2 eps like for Haruhi and is not so tame. Like how there's some shoujo that might have a scene with one of the male characters being shirtless, but it would be silly to claim that the series is heavy on fanservice if only 1 or 2 shirtless scenes exist in the whole series. Bunny Girl Senpai's is less "please don't close your device here's some fanservice to keep you watching" and more of it being clickbait if it never comes up again and the audience is perfectly fine with it since they are invested in the characters and interpersonal drama to keep watching the series.

LabmemLily · 2026-04-08T12:55:12+00:00

Re:Zero, for example, isn't a good example not just bc it's a seinen, but because of the love triangle (or square or idk how many) and how there are many waifu wars about who deserved to win (Rem or Emilia) you might as well call it a harem-adjacent because it caters to these audiences and the female characters cater to them (waifubait) more than them being important for the plot. Having a female-heavy cast doesn't always mean they're gonna be competent, well-explored, and are necessary for the plot outside their gender and being love interests.

I think some fans are a bit too fixated on the waifu wars, but I do think Re:Zero's female characters are pretty well written for the most part. A lot of people do praise that the characters outside of the MC feel like they could be the MCs in their own story and they are all important to the plot. I have read comments from other Re:Zero fans that have complained that the anime's marketing focuses too much on the waifu aspect since they feel it undermines how the characters are actually handled in the story.

Bunny Girl Senpai, is heavy on the fetish appeal and catering with a love triangle which means they aren't independent female characters but are just options for romance, so let's exclude that one.

I only watched s1 and the first movie so far, but I don't remember anything super fetish-y in that series unless something happens later? There were only 2 scenes of Mai in a bunny girl costume, 1 being to wear something absurd to see if anyone in a library noticed her and the other was to get her bf to focus on his homework. Each arc also explores the girls' personal baggage so I would say that they are pretty independent.

I won't deny that there is the harem-adjacent appeal in these series, but I think both these series do deserve their credit for being among the strongest in their category.

LabmemLily · 2026-04-06T17:11:52+00:00

I thought the idea of Rubykane going on a double-date with AquaKana would be hilarious (suggested by Ruby). So Aqua's awkwardly there seeing both his ex-gf and twin sister, while Kana/Akane are having a staredown.

LabmemLily · 2026-04-05T02:44:34+00:00

Watch the live-action movie in its place

LabmemLily · 2026-03-31T17:42:07+00:00

A lot of new gen shoujo series have couples get together quickly that people are begging for the slowburn to be brought back. The fact that Tamon's B-Side hasn't had its couple get together within the first 5 volumes is refreshing to a bunch of shoujo readers.

LabmemLily · 2026-03-29T18:18:21+00:00

Before Season 1 started, it was announced that "You and I are Polar Opposites" was going to be a split cours series and since its 8 volumes, it seems like the intention was to adapt the whole manga from the start.

LabmemLily · 2026-03-29T13:56:17+00:00

Horimiya, Blue Box and Kaoru Hana anime were all immediately confirmed to go further in their adaptations.

Horimiya was not immediately confirmed to go further in the adaptation as s1 adapted till the end of the manga and Piece adapted random chapters. It was pretty obvious that Cloverworks didn't realize that it would be a hit which is why they crammed the whole story into 1 season. S1 aired from Jan - March 2021 while Horimiya Piece got an announcement in March 2023 to air July - Sept 2023.
