I never read this manga due to a lack of interest, but the culture surrounding it sounds more interesting that the read would have been anyway. If nothing else it's good documentation for harem audience reaction going forward.

Oh man, we're gonna get a WHOLE season/movie about Yotsuba.

The seething will be glorious.

Don't really see why. People who didn't like Yotsuba period won't watch it, people who liked her but wanted her and Fuutarou's relationship to be fleshed out more will get their wish, and diehard fans will just be happy to get more of her. Kinda too-little-too-late for my tastes, but it's better than nothing.

[up][up][up]

To be honest, the manga did pull off some good moments and subversions and generally averted the Cannot Spit It Out pitfall often common in harem series, it is a good read overall.

[up][up]

I for one do like the idea of Yotsuba being further fleshed out, that's something we have been missing.

Instead of focusing on relatives that divide us, we should find the absolutes that tie us.

They started the series, they gotta finish it. Don't know why people expected an anime original ending as opposed them adapting the whole thing.

I wonder how much they're going to cut; that's the caveat. A faithful adaptation might not make Yotsuba winning as believable like in the manga...but cutting out the other's screentime to focus on Yotsuba is going to annoy a lot of people.

But since Yotsuba IS the one Fuutarou chooses, this is a good opportunity to flesh out their dynamic more. And let's be honest, does anyone wanna see Mudou animated?

It's definitely cutting a lot of stuff for the sake of streamlining.

On one hand, that likely means the whole stuff with the Quint's biological dad will be cut, which good. The flipside is that probably everything not related to Yotsuba is going to be cut, which uh...is less than good.

Well, I think the latter is important enough to be retained. The former, yeah, it should be cut with a plasma cutter...although in a worst case scenario they cut the latter and keep the former.

Surely no director is insane enough to do that. Right?

There's only so much you can keep in what's likely going to be a ninety minute film. It still has to cover Yotsuba's flashback, the festival, as well as the entire fallout from Fuutarou's choice.

[up][up] I mean, thanks for pointing out the obvious?

I don't need to be told that something is going to be cut. All I said was that I hope the director of the film choose what gets to be cut/retained wisely.

as well as the entire fallout from Fuutarou's choice.

Not that there's much fallout to speak of, since we pretty much get a harem ending anyway. tongue

Still, rereading the volumes recently (released up to no. 8 so far), it really confirmed that the parts about the sisters' relationship were more interesting than the romance parts to me.

Now I'm reminded of how someone said that Fuutarou will probably end up porking all the sisters in the honeymoon. [lol]

@ dRoy

I mean, what other implication can you get from that ending? Yotsuba explicitly mentions how the others are going to join them in their honeymoon trip and the scene before you had all of the sisters in bride dresses.

I'm no expert on marriage, but I refuse to believe that any couple who is okay with multiple single women joining them on their honeymoon isn't down for a little non-monogamy.

Any time you aren't running, I'm getting closer.

especially when most of those single women spent a significant amount of time and effort trying to get on the groom's dick

Well that and bride is too spineless to tell her sisters off.

But in the meta sense, the author didn't wanna throw the four unchosen sisters under the bus.

In all fairness, there was some foreshadowing to that with the whole "sisters always together" bit before the confession.
