Why doesn't one of these females confess already? The worst that could happen is he says no, their relationship will be jumbled up, and the other girl might get assmad.

Iroha has no reason to not confess unless she either doesn't like him or doesn't realize she does. I doubt she is aware that she likes him if she does, she doesn't seem to hold back in front of Yui and Yukino.
>>
>>133811283
Yui lacks the self-confidence to do it, but she's getting close now
Yukino doesn't have a full grasp on her feelings yet
Iroha likes to tease him, but still has her sights mainly set on Hayama. 8man is more of a backup for her

Yeah but even if he falls for her we don't know if she likes him. She insults his eyes all the time, gives him pity MAX COFFEE, disparages him in front of girls, and didn't give him any treats other than the ones Yui coerced her into giving him. Can't blame her since he is a gross creepy edgelord. Good thing Yui will take responsibility for him so he won't bother other girls.

If 8man confessed or accepted Yui's confession what would he have to do to get laid? My thought bis he would have to take her out and slip her a romantic kiss like the ones he does in her diary. Once she is comfortable with that he should push the issue a bit until she gives in. She is the kind of girl that would respond well to affection from 8man.

I'd be far more disappointed with a Yui ending. Instead of him and Yukino struggling and going through all these hardships so they can be eachother's soulmate, he goes the easy route and instead chooses a girl who he has nothing in common with and that only took an interest in him because he saved her dog. A shallow ending like that would knock this series out of my top 10 favourite anime. I don't have anything against Yui, but from a meta/story perspective 8man ending up with her would not only be a weak ending to the series, but it'd also go against so many things the series has been building up to this point.

Naw, Yukino is just a lonely girl with some problems and a crush. 8man too except without the crush. The romance part of the series isn't all that important. It would make sense in the story for him to end up with either one, as friends with both, or alone.

Which is not same way HachiYuki have been struggling to not only become better people, more open to others, being able to forgive Hayato/come to terms with his past with Orimoto and other girls, helping eachother work through one another's flaws, but also growing closer to one another as the story progresses

Haruno is definitely aware which is why she gives them shit at the chocolate making event.

Komachi wants her brother to date someone and always tries to set him up with either of the YYs. I don't know if she's aware that that has created a problem

So Yukino has an otherworldly nature. As a result her immediate surroundings are subject to supernatural phenomena. This led to Hachiman's eyes gaining the ability to not only perceive truth but create truth. Through this power Hachiman created the aura that Yukino used to give him this power.

The only question is, what happened first? I theorize that the universe itself shifted it's own natural laws when Yukino and Hachiman first met each other in the classroom. At that very moment the universe itself unlocked a new set of universal laws that followed their own special rules. In summary; Yukino, Hachiman, and the whole of reality all adopted these special qualities at the same time in order to allow the meeting of Yukino and Hachiman to take place.

That was entertaining. I wonder how much Chuuni I have left in me.

Iroha knows. She laments competing against them and knows to stand down in front of them.

Komachi doesn't seem to care until 8man come bawling to her about it.

So Haruno was calling them out on the love triangle business and not about Yukino's problem and how they're handling it? What business of hers is the love triangle?

"Will come" that is to say, in vol 12. 8man can't handle this shit alone.

It is ironic. It isn't like she is an angel that will alleviate him of his problems. She doesn't even want to save him.

There's something about Komachi I find weird, it looks like she knows that that Yui likes 8man by the looks of Volume 5 and how Yui and Komachi were acting during her birthday but even still she keeps on pushing Yukino on him too.
>>
>>133829810
Yukino's problems is related to the love triangle. Haruno didn't like it when she saw Yui's desolate frown after Yukino and 8man spill their spaghetti over the tipped over bowl. The fact that they clearly have an issue about the group that none of them attempts to acknowledge and confront. Yukino can't grow if she can't get past something like that.
>>133829995
She just wants her brother to find someone so he will have a female influence other than her. Otherwise he'll stay a siscon for the rest of his life
>>
>>133830135
Wait how is Yukino's problem related to the love triangle?
Yukino's problem is that she can't make big decisions for herself and is lacking self-confidence.
>>
>>133830238
>Yukino's problem is that she can't make big decisions for herself and is lacking self-confidence.
And the biggest indicator of that is that she can't admit her feelings to 8man knowing that Yui likes him as well. Thus, they are in a romantic deadlock and nothing will happen unless they get through that
>>
>>133830574
But Yukino froze up before she knew about Yui's feelings.

>>133830135
The only part of Yukino's problem that involves her crush on 8man is the fact that she freezes up and doesn't know what to do when it is something important to her, Yui said she would fucking help and Yui did give her space but space isn't what she wanted. There is a 100% chance she completely overthought the treats situation and she doesn't have the confidence to stand up to Haruno and her mother so she relies on others for that.

Any indication about when volume 12 is coming? Haven't really been following since 11 was a wet fart.
>>
>>133835171
Except Orimoto was the only one who was nice to him when everyone else wasn't. It's also arguable that his resentment for every "nice girl" after dayone was a result of deep feelings for her.

Yukinoshita on the other hand is idolized almost extremely unrealistically, and he got over knowing she's just as ordinary as everyone else is relatively quickly.
>>
>>133834946
Even if she is genuine if he doesn't feel the same way it doesn't matter.
Besides Orimoto was being an ass to him which is why Komachi was acting weird when they met, 8man's problem with nice girls is that he misunderstands them thinking their actions and words mean something more.

With Yui, Yui is a kind girl but the prospect of her having feelings for him makes 8man hesitant to accepting her kindness because he thinks that would be taking advantage of her.

The thing about how he idealized Yukino and how the image he had of her shattered is that once she was no longer absolutely perfect he started stepping in for her without her permission, always getting in the way so she wouldn't hurt herself.

It is relevant. Attractive traits don't just stop being attractive based on the person who possesses them.

And if they did stop being attractive (IE from being burned so badly it changes his tastes permanently) it'll affect the way he sees others (Yui) whether he directly blames them or not.

>>133835424
That would contradict him making peace with her.

Yukino need to learn how not to go icequeen like in the past. If also eliminates her dependency issues if she loses the 8bowl.

Its the simplest solution to her problems while also potentially (but not certain) giving Yui a good conclusion.

>>133835487
Someone would have stepped over the line for her eventually. Life doesn't end at high school. All 8man has brought her is depression, anger, and losing herself. If he rejects her he breaks her heart on top of all that. It doesn't matter if she likes him and wants to be with him despite that, he is not good for her. She should give up on him and giving him genuine.

So im having a bit of a hard time understanding what Yuki's deal is anyways.

Why is it so bad that they use a valentines events to get around being embarrassed. Why was it bad that she repeated that 8mans words about why she shouldn't go home to her family right away. They where good words and fit the situation perfectly. Either way she was just gonna end up paraphrasing if not outright repeating them.

What does everyone, including herself expect out of her? What's her request? Cuz maybe it's just a Japan thing but to me it just seems like she's being a teenager and frankly speaking her sister IS a total cunt and mom's not much better.
>>
>>133835667
>Yukino need to learn how not to go icequeen like in the past.
Ice Queen wasn't created by rejection of love, it was created as a means to protect herself from bullies and back stabbing "friends".

Whether 8man ends up with Yui or not won't get rid of her dependency issue with him if they don't deal with it.

Cant believe Oregairu aired ~8 months ago. Miss these threads

>>133835769
That's precisely her problem. She doesn't tell anyone anything. Nobody at school has any idea what's going on with her family/career plans and it's also evident that her family also has no clue what's going on with her at school to the point where Haruno gets roped into her shit.

Most likely situation is that she had a career she was planning to go overseas to pursue, but she cancelled it because 8man is terrified of the club breaking apart, and now her mother is wondering why she's suddenly making such drastic changes to her career plan. Who she likes might not even be 8man, she hides her motives from everyone around her.

Nobody misses these threads. They are just a creeping reminder of the endless wait for the next volume and a dream adaptation of the .5 LNs if anything. That, and waifu shitposting with entitled Yukinofags trying to warp their predictable ending into something more while shitting on Yuifags. Meanwhile, Yuifags continue their SUFFERING and try to grasp at straws for reasons why 8man would actively pursue her and realize feelings he most likely does not understand. Irohafags are mostly fun until they aren't. What I don't get is how nobody seems to understand that the relationship all three of them share is so prone to self-destruction that the story could not be anything other than a loner end... unless Watari somehow manages to make Iroha a viable character/love interest at this point in the story, which at this pace isn't likely (if it does indeed end).

She specifically said going into lib arts won't change a thing about her career plan in the long term.

As of vol 11 he is prepared to do just that. He will still walk his path even if he is left with nothing.

>Who she likes might not even be 8man
We don't even know if she likes anyone. I don't think it is an important matter relatively.

It is likely but a) it is the last thing 8man wants and b) it is something he predicts. He does not expect to have a lasting relationship with them.

Impossible and she has never been a big part of the story. Whether or not he is with a girl at the end isn't the fucking point.

I don't get how their relationship is self-destructive when they're all trying to better themselves and work past their problems.
>>
>>133811283
You've never confessed to someone do you? That's the problem, they're already in that point in friendship where they are very comfortable and have fun together. Once anyone confess, whether 8man accepts or not that friendship will crumble if ever so slightly. And this is what makes it total drama. Not being true to your feelings because you're scared of what the result will be is superficial and 8man wants 'genuine' this is why Haruno berated them on the chocolate making event. 8man is getting lazy with his usual conviction and letting things comfy and superficial instead of being an asshole but direct.
>>
>>133836451

two things.

They're kids. They can be a least a little superficial. That's really perfectly okay. They're what 17?

Secondly, Haruno is really just doing it for no reason other than being a bitch.

Romance didn't even exist in Oregairu until Iroha appeared.

>>133836802

Yui was into 8man long before Iroha appeared

So this story was the romcom that was wrong as expected until she tried to force it to become a romcom.

And it wasn't a significant plot point whatsoever. Even Sensei had more "romantic" development with 8man prior to the stuco arc.

>>133836562
>they're kids
It's just because it's the medium of the story. It's like using Spiderman story to teach responsibility, it doesn't mean that your uncle would die if we're being irresponsible but the message is still the same.

Haruno is NOT a bitch. Try reading between the lines and the story would be much more interesting to you. I personally love the monologue chapters.

Any lack of "romantic development" in the early novels is intentional on 8man's part because he's afraid of getting hurt again. It's been a consistent plot thread since the beginning, and ties to one of the main character's big issues when getting over his issues is the whole point of the story.

What's your point? If the club members couldn't get past 8man's emotional baggage the way Iroha did then it's all the more reason why Iroha has better compatibility with him than they do.

YYfags act like Asuka and Reifags over who was the better partner for Shinji, when lo and behold neither acknowledges that it was fucking Kaworu who was better than either.

>>133838749
The thing is polls like this are rife with selection bias, so he's right. The people who vote are generally the ones who want their girl to win, pure and simple.

It makes sense for major characters like Yukino and even Yui to show up on a poll like this because they'll naturally have large fan-bases, from which a small contingent of voters is hardly a stretch.

On the other hand, getting a secondary character to place so high takes a concerted effort by extremely dedicated people. Put another way, autism, i.e. Irohafags.

People who think Yukino is going to win dont understand the series. 8man and Yuki have always been wrong about the other since they first met. Ergo, these "romantic" feelings are just another misunderstandng, the final one they have to confront. They are misinterpreting friendship for something else

Yui's going to win. She's a nice girl, after all.

But she's too nice. She knows 8man is not happy with her, so she gives him up to Yukino.

>>133846817
They've been wrong about each other in the past but this time it isn't about what they think the other does or feels, it's about what they themselves would feel.

Yukino spent a long time trying to explain what she felt rationalizing it until she came to the conclusion that she as in love.
We don't know what 8man feels for anyone but even with Yukino being a bitch to him and her not even showing romantic interest in him until around volume 10 the monster in his head would still ask him if he's in love with her.

Besides if youw ant to talk about misinterpreting he still believes that Yukino would never be interested in someone like him, he's obviously wrong about that but he doesn't even know it.

The problem is that 3P is always a sexual thing, not a serious longterm romantic thing which is what they would be looking for.

8man would very quickly find out which one he likes more and it would be obvious to both of them. Hell for all we know YY will prefer each other over 8man.

Anyways, the point is that whoever the odd one out is will essentially be the pet of a happy couple. As I said earlier, unless this is a sexual thrill to you then you'll only be hurting yourself by staying in that kind of a relationship.

In the LN however 8man is constantly fantasizing about Saika and even went on his first date with him. It was actually quite a shock and for a while I legitimately though 8man might seriously be gay.

I think it's safe to say he's at least bicurious. That said I highly doubt Saika will actually win.

Komachi is number 14.

I don't get it. How can people get so caught up in arguing over what is essentially a day time soap opera. It would make sense if you all had vaginas, but you don't.

>The monster asks about Yui too. The monster asks him if he loves one of them.
I mean the circumstances, for Yui the question can come easily because he knows she has feelings for him and she's always being kind to him and he likes that.

With Yukino, you know exactly how she used to act with him and how she treated him but just the same the monster would ask him the question.

>When was that? When she was eye raping him or at the pub?
Could have been from the infirmary scene or even before that, it was just around Vol10 that the way she acted with changed dramatically.

That would imply people actually talk about the story, and not just shitpost about waifus all day.

Why can't yui just fuck off and marry tone or something

Yukino and 8inches literally need each other.

She loves 8man more than Yukino
She has suffered more for him than Yukino
She never stopped caring about him and never stopped liking him unlike Yukino

Then why did the girl that stopped caring about him go out of her way to help him while the girl that never stopped caring about him just sat idly by tapping away at her phone?

>go out of her way to help him
Yukino didn't help him, she was a dick to him. She told him no one cares about him with glee and told him to fuck off from the club in an unkind way. When he came back to ask for help she said no, he then poured his heart out and Yukino ran off.

Yui tried to do something too in vol 8 and in vol 9 she had faith that 8man would come back. If he didn't Yui would still like him. Also Yui pressured 8man into coming to club by making him go with her.

Yui is always looking out for the feelings of Hikki. Yukino couldnt give a rat's ass about him and it wasnt until her issues cropped up that she started "caring" for him
