Found a v cute old sketch

[fareasterncurlew]

The newest chapter (ch. 447) gave us a complete seating order for class 3-1, if anyone's interested:

Before this chapter I believe there were only two characters with an uncertain seat, but this chapter also cements that the class has only 30 students.

In early third-year there were a lot of panels with the class having six rows of six for 36 students, but recently Oda seems to have changed his mind and we've seen five rows of six for 30 students more often.

Anyway, this is the first school year that the manga has had a proper consistent seating order. I like to see that.

Manbagi's friends, a group of Gyaru who are Manbagi's friends from her first year:

Muu-tan, a dark-haired Gyaru.

Yukapuyo, a light-haired Gyaru; she becomes an Ascended Extra in Chapter 325. See the Itan High School entry for Shiroki Yuka

Gonzales - an uncharacteristically husky-voiced Gyaru.

Is Mu-tan a ganguro or a kuro gyaru? I'm not sure what style.

I'll probably post Yuka at a later date, but I'll add the other two to the queue!

She’s come a long way. Just two years ago she couldn’t say anything at all for her introduction. But while she’s still having trouble, she gets through it.

They look like a nice bunch.

But now I’m wondering why they would ignore her when she tries to make friends with them.

Shiroki Yuka has absolutely the best character design in Komi-san!

[worangetraveler-multiverseguide]

Looking at 325... where we enter HARD MODE!

Future Worange here and sorry... I saw the last page scrolling the other day, havent check the tag since then but I kinda know the punchline, how we get there though? TIME TO FIND OUT!

Time for presentation and BULLSHIT! Introducing yourself has nothing to do with how many years have you been in school. If you’re anxious that’s NOT GONNA HELP!

Also is Najimi replacing Not!Oda (Kometani I think?) in the 4th wall corner? Probaby fitting

Is the cover like a tradition? Will find out eventually when year 2 starts for Past Worange... Najimi... Yoda you are not.

Have we... EVER got any focus on the teacher of the class? That feels new for this, even with my gaps in knowledge. Regardless? I’m rooting for Miwa-san... okay we’re the punchline?

No depressing punchline thankfully, just Najimi asserting their dominance as the class extrovert... acceptable

NAJIMI NO!

MDSH: NAJIMI YES!

(well... we ARE having Najimi focus in a way, are you people happy now? xD)

First we get Muzuka SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII... oh my fucking god (its nice when you get the pun inmediatly you know?) So basically a contrarian? Interesting (yeah the pun is difficult but the exchange feels more contrarian)

Machi Omokawa: she cute... and either adorable or have the hots for the teacher... what?

Ogya Hafuru: ... okay then... dude with pacifier speaking in baby... I’m trying to make the LEAST amount of Vtuber jokes but then you have THIS BULLSHIT! xD NEXT!

Kyono koto: Seems someone nice... yet kinda old timey? Joke probably lost in translation since no clue what old kyoto people would be like

Fuki-kun: EUGENE! ... hopefully he is just clumsy not, destructive to himself and others

Lilly Sukida: no I don’t know her who she? *watches closely* oh a NakaNaka x Yamai shipper? General is that you?

Kyara Nanoda: ... peko *stands up and leaves*

Najimi: embrace their chaos, there is no escape...

okay actually maybe absolute silence IS the escape cause the class isnt even looking their way while we have not rapid fire shots!

Kire-san: angery

Omokawa: still standing

Bosa-san: buffering

... poor dude who gave you that name? ODA!!!!

Yuka Shiroki: Gyaru, and yes this has been the most normal so far... damn (also I have questions in my head but can’t elaborate until Past Worange meets HER officially)

The teacher is in distress over the whole class of weirdos... to an extent I can agree... but there’s always some saving grace I suposse?

OH HEY KOMI’S TURN!

YOU CAN DO IT!

SHE DID IT! LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Also announcing her goal? Nice

Also announcing her boyfriend? Double Nice

Oh so THAT’S Emoyama! Only heard legends of her... gonna be fun

Oh hey Tadano’s introduction, simple and average... until he obviously mentions he is dating Komi...

The more things change, the more stay the same... damn xD

And Najimi instantly trying to capitilize for Komi’s friendship... however everyone ignored them? Which is weird... until you realize the truth

Class 1... is the class with all the students who didnt make any friends?

I CALL BULLSHIT!

or perhaps... a setup, we shall see

Overall an interesting chapter and a very important setup for this year

Year 1: idolitrized Komi, that while it mellowed out eventually never went away

Year 2: While I dont know it all, seems it was the class that bond as family and was a great place where Komi made friends naturally

Year 3: WE BEGIN HARD MODE (not my joke, saw it in the spoiled image I got, probably General?)

The question is WHY put Tadano, Najimi and Komi in that class? Maybe to stir up the communication problems of everyone? Yes I’m trying to actually get logic from a slice of life romantic comedy manga... LEAVE ME BE!

See you... actually in a couple hours for the NEXT chapter :D

[thatsitso]

She so cute

[wrecking-man]

Back to what’s important! Komi and Tadano, together.

Komi learned how to deal with Omakawa. Good... Good...! I guess I’ll go back and change all of her tags again, since it seems that Omakawa is going to be the spelling that sticks.

She’s becoming a ninja. Where’s Shinobino at? He needs to see those sick moves!

What’s the verdict, Shiina?

Why you little-

[wrecking-man]

You’re looking cute today as well, Omakawa.

Knew it.

At this rate she will power up to the point she could rival even Yamai and Nakanaka.

Look at Omakawa go.

Yukapoyo!

Like mother like daughter.

[wrecking-man]

You’re cute, Omagawa! Make up your mind what your name is!

Yukapoyo coming in clutch again. MVP this arc easy.

Komi, this is your cue!

Wait, what?

“That”? Komi, what is “that”, exactly...? I’m joking...

I thought they were already friends by this point... Still, this is pretty funny. Just tell her that she’s cute and she’ll be like:

Also, that panel reminds me a lot of that one Emoyama panel, lol.

More Hiki, Shusou (Shujou?), and Aoi! Yes!!!

[wrecking-man]

Waiting for Komi to say “enough is enough”.

Wind tunnel hair needs to move so I can see who tf is behind them. Is that even wind tunnel hair? I can’t tell.

[wrecking-man]

It’s all well and good. She had it coming to her. If anything you went easy on her, Yukapoyo.

Yukapoyo is so cute. Best gyaru.

Komi is doing so fucking well in this chapter.

You’d better learn to appreciate this, Shiina.

Yukapoyo sure is putting in a lot of effort as well. MVP.

Where the hell is Lily? She needs to give her opinion on this potential ship.

I wonder for just how long they were aware Shiina is just putting on a front?

Even my man Seikimatsu is in the back with that knowing face.

Hey, they learned a fraction of Tadano’s technique! Nice job, you guys!

[wrecking-man]

Omagawa flashback! Omagawa flashback!!!

Hm. I see, I see!

That’s actually pretty sad though... She has been calling people cute all this time, but nobody has told her that she was cute in response... until now.

You’re cute, Omagawa!!!... Now sit down and let your legs rest...

Give this girl a hug. She’s wanted to be called cute all this time and it finally happened...

...And have her sit down.

Those two things aren’t related! But you’re cute anyways!

YOOOOOUUUUU!!! Why are you so hard to deal with, Shiina???

I guess we’ll be finding out next chapter.

[wrecking-man]

This armor is incredibly broken. The first years are going to win this no contest.

Oh... It was so much of a no-contest fight that Oda didn’t even bother to show the struggle. Alright.

I’m glad that at the very least the second years didn’t win, but it does leave a somewhat bitter taste in my mouth that Komi isn’t allowed to win anything in this series. With very few exceptions like the first year Summer festival stuff.

Komi was robbed a second time of this [[Legendary Chicken Cutlet Sandwich]].

I want to scream favoritism, but it’s Hiki so I’m fine with it. Let her have everything she desires in life.

I will laugh my ass off if Hiki asks her to give everyone the [[Legendary Chicken Cutlet Sandwich]].

[wrecking-man]

Okay, I’ve had my break. I still haven’t ‘finished’ chapter 43 of my fic, but I’ll do it another time. The chapter isn’t going to disappear if I don’t finish it ASAP.

Shiina, for all her whining about how stupid everyone was for playing along with this event, she sure is taking it seriously now. Heh.

[wrecking-man]

Komi 329: I Did Good. Yup

Final thoughts:

What an absolute banger of a chapter.

Okay, so their classmates ignoring them or flat out rejecting the idea of being Komi’s friend... Didn’t care for that. But you can’t have everything all at once, so I’m letting it slide. It’s sliding like it’s on a frictionless, frozen lake. It’s fine.

Yukapoyo! I trusted you!... I’m kidding. The “is Komi unpopular?” line doesn’t actually bother me any. It’s all for laughs. I love this girl. I am so glad that we have her in this class. Such a blessing.

...Omagawa needs to go sit down... I swear that she is plotting something behind that cute, bubbly smile of hers.

The Perro Rabioso girls continue to be a pleasure to behold. I figured they would be the first to grab hold of Komi’s offer of friendship. I’m glad I was right. They’re basically the most normal ones in the entire class alongside Yukapoyo.

I hope that “Yamami” and “Nakana” show up on occasion to visit them and Komi. I’m sure they will, actually, since Tadano even foreshadowed it for us. Seriously though, what was up with Tadano getting both of their names wrong? That had to be the translator or typesetter having a laugh.

Seikimatsu! My boy Seikimatsu is now friends with Tadano. I want them to share a conversation about what happened on the first day of year 1. Does Seikimatsu remember? I’m certain Tadano does. Will Seikimatsu apologize? He seems super excitable, yet polite. He probably will.

Shiina is... Well, I think it’s fairly obvious she’s going to be Komi’s next friend. She looks rather... Hm, well I won’t say desperate, but she looks like she really wants to be friends with Komi. That’s the impression I get. Maybe she thinks she’ll screw up somehow and that’s why she’s not going for it? Maybe she just doesn’t like going along with what other people want for some reason? I don’t know. I’m just spitballing here.

Speaking of spitting. What the fuck was that, Lily? Talk about nasty, lmao. You know someone has to clean that up...

...Tadano naturally wound up doing it. smh

Anyways. There was literally nothing else this chapter, was there?

Bruh.

The fucking headpat!

Finally!!! I have been waiting so long for them to have any kind of (wholesome) physical intimacy again. It feels like it has been forever since they held hands... And headpats are top shelf quality stuff.

I’ll admit that it’s not quite what I wanted though... I really, really want them to hug... A nice, long hug... Or even cuddling. Like actual cuddling. Not just sitting next to each other.

A kiss... can come at any point later. I’m in no rush at all for that at all. I just want Tadano to smother Komi with hugs and headpats galore, because she deserves it.

Did I have anything else from this chapter I wanted to discuss? I don’t believe so...

Anyways... With that all said, there is one other thing I wanted to add. A reminder, just in case it was drowned out by other posts and you didn’t get a chance to see it.

Yesterday, I heavily revised and mirrored chapter 10 of my main fic to this blog. You can find the post here. The flow of events and everything is essentially same, but it’s worded far better now, and in some parts it even got expanded on somewhat. I’m really, really satisfied with how it came out.

Finally, I am at long last all caught up on the latest manga chapters!

I am unsure which chapter I will liveblog next. 330 will of course take priority as soon as it comes out, but I don’t know if it will be out before I am ready to do another one. If 330 takes too long, then I will proceed to start on 300-305 since these were requested in an ask a while back.

If you have a request for chapters you would like me to liveblog earlier, you can send in an ask.

As always, to keep track of my progress, you can check my Progress page.
