So HakuTaku came up on Shonen Flop and it brought up other things that I didn’t realize until I got more of a point of view of others that were blind spots for me.

You know, I remember someone said yesterday that Hima-Ten! Was better than Nisekoi, and I can agree. I want to know if Shinuki feels the same way and that he thinks it’s better. The problem with me and why I couldn’t get into Nisekoi was how over the top and cliche it was where Hima feels a bit more grounded and how the characters feel like real people. Though a lot of people that are not the main cast are really pushing those ships.

Are you going @JBC008
No. And besides, I’m in Orange County and it is in LA. I will see if it is possible but I am trying to be more cautious with money lately. This is a greater discussion for both of us SharkBait, but outside of this forum so I don’t bring my drama into here.

And a quick question, it mentioned, “The Straw Hats”. Are they talking about like characters that look like them, animation of them cheering the team on, or the voice actors or live action team coming?

And besides, I am getting a new roommate coming in on Friday, so I have to help him move in.

Star of B is actually pretty good. Hopefully it escapes the jump music manga curse...though it is at least playing music people can easily finding recordings of on YouTube if they aren't familiar with the pieces but still the lack of hearing is always a barrier of entry for these types of manga.

I agree, but on the positive, at least the names of the pieces are there. So all you have to do is play it while reading it and you’re set. I think that somewhat helped in P6, but I think this writer is much smarter than people here or from what I have seen give underestimate them. I actually think there is a genius here and we will see people talk about them more going forward.

Lack of hearing is not a problem when you know what to do and what to focus on. See Nodame Cantabile.

And to a lesser extent, Akane.

And the artist also really need to know what they are doing with the paneling and text designs

I'm not super tuned into sports but given how many times I've seen One Piece youtubers talk about specifically basketball, even to the point of using basketball players as analogies for character feats in One Piece, I have a feeling that this will be very well-received.

The difference between Himaten and Nisekoi to me is Himaten feels more genuine, in a sense? Like it's still following a lot of the usual jump romcom standards and atmosphere and whatever but I get the impression the author's having a good time with it, that this is the kind of series they wanted to create and they love writing about these girls.

While Nisekoi came across a bit more like Komi maybe wanted to do something else but got stuck with a romcom since he was good at it.

Exactly my thoughts. It’s probably why I prefer the former to the latter, because Hima-ten’s characters just feels genuine, y’know? Even if they’re more like played out tropes, but at least they aren’t obnoxious or tired renditions. It feels like Ono understands what makes all of the tropes he’s utilizing works.

Komi’s not bad with romance, but he’d be better off creating his own style rather than adhere to the triend and true tropes.

I said it because i think Hima-ten! isn't constantly escaping the "main plot" of the series... something that nisekoi did oftenly. But Hima-ten! also has a safe place on this regard because it doesn't have a huge main plot that needed to be solved like Nisekoi did
