Shounen We Never Learn by Taishi Tsutsui

[Hermit]

Latest Fumino cover (?)
The Fumino chapters have been so so good. Much needed step up after the dross that was the Rizu arc.

 

[HereNThere]

The Sleeping Beauty's route is, ironically, putting me to sleep. I really don't care for it. I was enthralled to see how Ogata's story would end, but Fumino's is kind of blah.

I do not agree, Fumino's route is not that bad.
That said I can not wait for the best route aka Sensei route

It's not bad, it's just...bland.

Sensei Route will indeed be the best route tho.

It's a fantastic idea to have multiple endings but at the same time I feel like the routes are somewhat rushed.

Maybe thats why you feel like this?

That is an issue with this type of ending, but that not it surprisingly enough.

Honestly, I wasn't feeling this arc after the first chapter. I thought the inversion of her spraining her ankle was a great idea and I was with it. But it really didn't do much with the concept, in my opinion. It's just way too vanilla for my liking.

Volume 18 cover (Rizu):

 

[yutu]

For me the best route is furuhashi because we can see that the other 2 girls are still with them. Afterwards followed by takemoto and finally ogata last because its route we could not see the other two.

Well the route of the teacher and the waitress, their route does not interest me.

 

[HereNThere]

I didn't hate the route, but it was the weakest, as I've already said.

I've no expectations for Senpai's route but I am extremely interested to see how it pans out.

And then we'll finally see the best girl's route.

And just like that, Senpai has the best starting chapter of everyone, lol.

 

[Hermit]

She has always been my best girl tbh. Like I knew there was no way she would win, but her personality is refreshing for a series like this.
So, best route let's goooooo

Senpai route seems to be continuing the trend of the arcs that take place after graduation being much more interesting to me, really looking forward to seeing where this one goes.

Just chapter 2 in this arc, but I'm loving it so far.

 

[Hermit]

3rd chapter in the route. No melodrama or ghost shenanigans involved that drag down the general writing. Just smooth sailing so far, which is making reading this a blast.
Cannot emphasize just how much I adore Asumi

 

[HereNThere]

Like, this arc is seriously on fire, holy crap. I'm loving the progression.

 

[Hermit]

That latest chapter.....
Ironically,that was the serious tone the route was lacking. And heavily appreciate this twist. It actually just works in the story, because you understand why Asumi's father was so happy about seeing her daughter and Nariyuki together. (Despite knowing the whole time it was fake)
Good stuff, keep it coming

A surgery.....
That escalated fast.

Also, Volume 19 cover:

Closest I've come to shedding a tear in this series. Man, I hope Sensei's route is as good as this.

 

[Newkerzy]

Same. Senpai’s route is definitely the best. The character writing is on point for everyone, and it treats her profession with a great amount of care. They say that a medical professional’s true worth and abilities really shows when their loved ones are on the line.

 

[Hermit]

Lived it. Loved it. Incredibly so.
Nothing else is topping this, at all. As far as I'm concerned this is the best ending, period.

 

[HereNThere]

I am going to be crushed if Sensei's doesn't match or exceed this arc.

My current rankings...

Senpai
Ogata
Takemoto
Furuhashi

And there are large gaps in between each.

 

[Hermit]

My current rankings...

Senpai
Ogata
Takemoto
Furuhashi

Furuhashi below Ogata?
Really? You disliked it that much?

This was so cute. Definitely the best route so far. Ended too soon
