Amano was one of the very first series I ever read, so seeing it finally end and reading the final chapter in English will definitely be pretty momentous to me personally. A real shame it never got an anime adaptationBtw, little poll as a test: Did you enjoy / enjoyed Amano Megumi wa Suki Darake? You can vote and feel free to comment if you want
I think it was a good series for what it was: an ecchi fanservice comedy with a decent amount of romcom elements inserted. And it did that well.Btw, little poll as a test: Did you enjoy / enjoyed Amano Megumi wa Suki Darake? You can vote and feel free to comment if you want
I totally agree, and I remember seeing the same kind of critique with mangas like to love ru as if the focus was to be the romance and not the ecchi scenesI think it was a good series for what it was: an ecchi fanservice comedy with a decent amount of romcom elements inserted. And it did that well.
The discourse around the series in some places however shifted towards being all about wanting romance progress, as if the series were a straight up romance or at least a typical romcom with some ecchi elements inserted, and always complaining about too many chapters with just fanservice and no romance progress. This feels really weird to me, because Amano Megumi is in my eyes not a romcom series with some ecchi gags, but rather the other way around. Heck, it is even in the title, "Amano Megumi is full of openings", i.e. ecchi moments. That's the entire point, lol.
Huh, wow. Did the anime for Tonikaku and SLeepy Princess really do noting for the manga sales? I thought there would be at least some notable boost, but that doesn't seem to be the case.#08 - 2018/03 - 109,995 (10d)

I'll play Devil's Advocate here. Following is just my opinion:I think it was a good series for what it was: an ecchi fanservice comedy with a decent amount of romcom elements inserted. And it did that well.
The discourse around the series in some places however shifted towards being all about wanting romance progress, as if the series were a straight up romance or at least a typical romcom with some ecchi elements inserted, and always complaining about too many chapters with just fanservice and no romance progress. This feels really weird to me, because Amano Megumi is in my eyes not a romcom series with some ecchi gags, but rather the other way around. Heck, it is even in the title, "Amano Megumi is full of openings", i.e. ecchi moments. That's the entire point, lol.
Don't keep people reading in long term?so why the manga sells more tem 200k for 10 yearsTL;DR: There isn't much to be invested in besides the fanservice and the romance, but the fanservice doesn't exactly keep people reading in the long term, so people look at the romance - and get frustrated because the romance barely progresses over long periods of time.
This si a bit sloppy, but it's really late at night here. Just wanted to say my piece.
I was more or less talking about Western readers, but I took a look at the sales for Amano Megumi over it's run and...Don't keep people reading in long term?so why the manga sells more tem 200k for 10 years
This is more of a problem with sunday mangas than ecchi mangas, as I said to love ru has kept selling well for 10 yearsI was more or less talking about Western readers, but I took a look at the sales for Amano Megumi over it's run and...
Amano Megumi peaked at a little over 40k.
At volume 5. Of a 28 volume series. Granted, this is only the first 21 volumes, but...
The series has been in decline for years.
