Could it be around the time of Fullmetal Alchemist?

Being portrayed in such a way means I had such a weak impression, first editor.

If it’s Fullmetal Alchemist, is the rival a man or a woman?

This is the afterword of Silver Spoon.

The story of how I rejected the proposal to turn it into an eight-character harem romantic comedy.

It’s the original person behind the modified Chitan.

The person might not look great in the thread, but they are actually quite talented.

Speaking of which, there are no love triangles in cow manga.

Isn’t the first person in charge the one who brought the cow to Sunday?

>>12

Are you referring to the first person in charge of Silver Spoon?

What are we going to do about the university chapter from here? Moe, no way. The one that gets done to me.

There are times when, even though we really like each other but aren’t officially dating, we try to create a love triangle situation.

>>16

I have the impression that Conan’s Aoyama-sensei likes this kind of thing.

I’ve also mentioned that the one closest to me is Haibara.

Let’s do the Silver Spoon university edition too! When I suggested it, I was told, “Well, it will be ending…” and I felt so sad. 😭

Trying to turn “Silver Spoon” into a romantic comedy feels like a lack of sense, but in reality, it’s quite competent.

Well, it’s better than saying you’ll do it, even though you know you won’t…

Is Arslan finished?

>>20

It’s the climax, likely moving into original developments in the latter part of the first volume of the original work.

Generals who died in battle have been resurrected by the power of the Serpent King and are confronting the Sixteen Winged Generals.

>>52

Is that an original development?

>>20

Starting with the comics releasing next month, it will deviate significantly from the original story with an original development.

I like it better than the state where Ilterish handled everything alone up until the resurrection of the serpent king in the original work.

If you can resurrect the Serpent King with Andra Body, then there seemed to be many more reusable talents in Pulse, right?

There are manga that try to create a love triangle even in a one-on-one romantic comedy, but I wonder if they will be that well received.

>>21

For example, since Shampoo from Ranma and Haibara from Conan are popular, it’s quite common for there to be cases of reinforcement.

Even though I like romantic comedies, I don’t want to have that kind of development in my own work that isn’t a romantic comedy.

From a business perspective, it’s impossible not to make a proposal.

If you’re told firmly that you don’t want to, then there’s nothing else to do but step back.

Editing is a difficult position.

Well, I can tell that you are in a committed relationship.

A love triangle usually starts when the conversation between the two people becomes stale, so it tends to occur when their relationship progresses.

>>33

Well, for a writer, the end of a serialization means losing one job, so they want to continue it as much as possible.

>>33

We don’t know if the next one will hit, and no one knows if we can even produce a work worthy of being published next.

Every company creates manga magazines with such fears and apprehensions.

It seems that there are many readers who hope for Conan and Haibara to be together, but there are probably fewer readers who want Shinichi and Haibara to date.

>>31

In the fandom, there are fans who support both ShinRan and KoAi, like a landmine in the new style.

I think promoting a romantic comedy is in line with the reader demographic since it’s Sunday.

The thread image just has a sad face.

I’m not forcing it or anything.

It’s a proposal that’s easy to cut off and discard because of the banner called Fullmetal Alchemist, which I dislike.

For a writer whose next opportunity is uncertain and an editor who doesn’t know if there will be another coming, it’s probably a choice they can’t easily let go of, even if they dislike it…

Because we have strength, we can fight without easily stretching things out.

I often feel like a third person who only becomes a decoy shows up halfway through in Sunday comics.

Chic and Sally ended up separating after 50 years.

In the case of the cow, I think a love triangle with the addition of a male rival would definitely be more interesting than adding a female heroine.

I also like love triangles that don’t add more heroines.

However, I won’t add anything later.

>>43

In other words, it’s D-Frag after all.

If there is a different theme, it might be okay, but if a love triangle starts in a fixed coupling rom-com halfway through, that’s a bit much…

I get that it’s Sunday, but if you do that, it would probably be bad for the cow’s work.

It’s an illustration of a perfect Sunday editing.

There are certainly writers who need to be firmly guided by their editor.

In the case of cattle, I think it doesn’t need a handler because it automatically heads towards the most interesting place.

It became clear that introducing Megumi Amano was way too late for a decoy.

What was it again…

I feel like there was a boat racing manga that turned into a love triangle, but it made me feel worse rather than enjoying it.

Is it Sunday?

>>57

That’s certainly a well-known place…

>>57

I think the problem lies with the author rather than Sunday.

Obi-Gyu, Monkey Turn, and Tomehane too.

Even with various reforms and changes, I have the impression that Sunday has always been involved in these love triangles.

It would be nice if more battle manga like this increased.

I was surprised that Komi-san and this turned out to be a manga with a plot device like that!

I don’t want there to be complete losers, so I want proper support after it’s over.

Minami-Kujō was in just the right position.

In other words, the second part of Arslan doesn’t exist.

It feels like a story branch influenced by some kind of will from somewhere.

The increasing number of heroines in 100 Kano may have been a paradigm shift.

As the person themselves said, Kawai Katsutoshi is just too uninterested in the main heroine.

I like the kind of relationship where we can get along without worrying about laws or policies, but I also understand that it’s not always possible.

>>69

If we’re going to do that, we have no choice but to have a world view where polygamy is accepted from the start…

>>74

I think doing a historical piece is possible! But historical stories aren’t suitable for romantic comedies.

I don’t feel like this will turn out well due to running out of ideas, so it’s best to just get it done quickly as a task.

The silver spoon cannot change the story of the axis, I suppose.

I told you from the start that I wouldn’t do the university part… It’s horrible that it’s come to this.

Did Ed and Al argue about who would marry Winry in an old tale?

The publishing industry in decline.

>>76

T company seems to completely accept the requests from the creators, in stark contrast to the thread, but they still want the manuscripts submitted…

>>76

There’s not enough information.

>>76

That’s wicked, Shoko-kan.

I’ve seen editors trying to force other Sunday manga authors to do a lot of romantic comedy in their extra manga multiple times.

It’s not that I dislike Arslan itself, but I feel like they are holding the cow for too long!

It seems that Mr. Ushii doesn’t really like men who wander between women.

>>79

Both men and women in this style are basically all really solid characters…

Love rivals are just something else…

In the end, it’s treated as a stepping stone for the relationship between the protagonist and the heroine to deepen.

Arslan is currently in an original development…

>>82

In the original work, the heroine candidate dies while being cared for by Arslan.

A once-in-a-lifetime genius strategist accidentally dies.

>>93

To be honest, I was quite disappointed with certain developments in the final arc, so I’m grateful that the manga version seems to take a different route.

>>97

There might have been a way to faithfully adapt only the first part like the old Nakamura version and call it a day.

If that’s the case, the last scene will end with the mages saying, “Our battle is just beginning!” which no one really benefits from.

I’m looking forward to it being resolved all at once, including the connections that may have been omitted between Part 1 and Part 2, or those that ended abruptly.

>>82

The climax of “Kiki’s Delivery Service” with the clock tower panic and the developments after the tsunami strikes High Harbor in “Future Boy Conan.”

The original story of the underwater revenge tale has transformed into a story set in outer space, at the level of Anno’s “Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water.”

The wild horse grooming also got stuck just like that.

The main axis of the story lies in a different place, but the main scenario is strong.

Well, there are also patterns where the writers have issues…

It’s not a bad thing to have different interests from the person in charge.

When unexpected romantic comedy elements arise in a manga that didn’t have any hints of them, it gets exciting…

It’s fine to do a romantic comedy, but don’t start to stand out in a serious story too.

Both Jump and Magazine are releasing various experimental works around here.

Speaking of which, the sub heroine hasn’t appeared, huh?

I love it when I think, “I’m trying so hard, yet I’m still losing!”

If the manga isn’t primarily about romance, there’s no need to expand the story with a love triangle…

Part one is definitely interesting…

There’s something called the Camelian Complex…

Well, the pity for Camille is different from the pity for those who have failed in love, but anyway, men tend to fall for sad girls.

I feel like the second part of Arslan didn’t get much attention because the ending of the first part had a somewhat frustrating development.

A love-comedy axis is quite preferable.

Harem is heavy to use as a pivot, but…

I dislike love triangles or rather, I dislike works that handle the “losing heroine” poorly.

I don’t like heroines who lose on their own because they don’t want the protagonist to be the bad guy, and I also dislike heroines who linger and sulk regretfully after being rejected.

>>102

If you make a mistake in the way you handle it, the evaluation of the work can suddenly turn around.

Ed and Winry, as well as Hachiken and Mikage, were relatively good couples too.

I think if I had only progressed the conversation between the humanities and sciences, it would have been cut off.

I was thinking of giving an example of an interesting manga with a love triangle.

I can’t think of anything at all.

>>105

H2 and so on

That was good at handling the sub-heroine as well.

>>105

Maison Ikkoku

>>105

Shigurui

>>113

Um…

Fujioka, Irako, and Mr. Togan?

>>113

Deception!

>>105

At the beginning of 100 Kano.

>>131

Now it’s a sight that even the hexagram would flee barefoot.

Since there are heroines who were able to date and those who were unable to date, the processing is quite difficult.

Speaking of which, Touch also has a love triangle.

It’s not a manga, but the Macross series where love triangles are a fundamental premise.

Forget about the drawbacks of the protagonist becoming a slacker; just get on with the main story.

I feel like it would work out nicely even if one person from a group of two men and one woman gets turned down.

>>114

After all, I wonder if male readers don’t feel that male characters are “wasted” even if they are attractive when they remain.

Even if she has reader popularity, it seems impossible for Misaka to win the heroine race.

It’s natural and effective to build up expectations, but if not managed well, you can quickly become disliked due to the gap between the expectations and reality.

“I’ve never really understood the theme of ‘love’s gamble,’ even since I started watching romantic comedies.”

Rather, I’m here to witness the fulfillment of a romantic relationship, but I don’t want to see a serious romance fail, even if it’s not the main character…

I love romantic comedies with lots of couples.

When rereading “Silver Spoon,” it’s clear that they would indeed consider asking about college.

>>119

Cutting it there is sharp, but I still want to see it…

>>119

That said, once you get into university, aside from the president who always comes with Mikage and Aikawa from the same university, there’s really no one else around…

Well, managing a complex relationship is difficult anyway.

That’s why the business strategy of preparing different endings based on the routes in PSP became popular.

>>121

Did it become popular?

>>124

I think there was enough impact to produce different outcomes based on routes in manga and light novels.

>>129

It’s hard to say that either of them became popular on a local scale…

But I liked it.

Generally, the losing heroine is cuter.

Isn’t Shigurui a love square?

I think there’s a close connection to the dislike of the painful developments themselves.

It’s true that heartbreak and the nervousness of things not going well are part of the fun.

I don’t remember which autumn leaves it was, but I stopped watching after the sub heroine was rejected.

>>128

It was a tough manga because I preferred characters other than the main heroine.

The main heroine being just a standard type isn’t bad, but…

Everyone likes School Days, right?

>>132

I like the work, but I don’t really like it.

>>132

Nice boat is good, but the lead-up is just too painful…

>>132

It’s interesting, but it would be troublesome to have that kind of thing in a shonen manga.

If you think about it normally, introducing two heroines will attract fans equally, so in the end, half of them will be filtered out.

There’s no meaning in a love triangle.

>>133

Are you the type of person who ends up disliking the entire work if your favorite doesn’t win?

>>143

Yeah

Having more heroines simply allows for a wider audience to be captured, doesn’t it?

The difficulty of controlling a rom-com only increases.

I don’t like it when a manga has a main heroine already decided, and the popularity of the sub-heroine becomes too high, because it makes the atmosphere in the fan community extremely negative.

Generally, those who belittle the main heroine tend to appear.

At one point, Hawkeye was placed in a position where it seemed likely he would be cuckolded, but nothing happened because Bradley was a top-tier, devoted husband in the story.

People who loudly express their dislike often come out, but the truth is that love triangles are plot developments that resonate with readers.

True Tears was unpredictable and wildly exciting.

It’s a love triangle.

Love triangles are interesting, but they will definitely become monotonous, so it’s best to only do it when you’re confident and want to.

If romance complications are the main point, then that’s just how it is.

Ah, I thought this was a love triangle, and then the teacher took away the Honey and Clover.

Considering the problems that Hakken and Mikage are facing, it’s clear that a love triangle is not the right thing to be dealing with right now.

It’s difficult to neatly wrap up a love triangle story, but it’s effective for dragging out the plot in a romantic comedy, so unresolved love triangles tend to be created.

I want to see a character that suddenly appears from the side, attacks all at once, and then burns out instantly, leaving a scar on the protagonist.

>>151

The main axis is different, but

I think Chainsaw Man is good at that kind of thing.

>>151

Lalah!

Even Macross is already like, “Isn’t this love triangle getting tough…?”

When I was reading Silver Spoon, I naturally thought that they would do the university arc, so I was surprised that they didn’t include it.

Although it’s unavoidable, the publication pace of “Silver Spoon” has led to a feeling of incompleteness towards the end.

The cook and Megumi Amano have suddenly gotten into a love triangle.

Even though Megumi Amano was in a love triangle, I laughed at the fact that a new losing heroine appeared.

Let’s dress the heroine in a cow-patterned bikini.

If the love triangle brings out the strengths of each character without interfering with the main story, then it is welcome.

There was a trend for a while where they would send out a decoy horse in Sunday races to experience defeat, but it wasn’t that enjoyable to watch.

I think I could enjoy it if there weren’t parts where I feel like it’s going to lose anyway and parts where my favorite heroine gets sidelined.

Even in works that clearly seem to have a solo heroine vibe with a Takagi-san title, there are often female characters who fall for men with a relatively high probability.

If the atmosphere doesn’t change, it’s not that I dislike it that much, but usually, things start to feel tense, which is a problem.

With the appearance of a new heroine, there are quite a few stories about how awareness changes in that direction.

It’s a decoy horse, but…

Major 2 is a love triangle, after all.

>>168

Homo!!!

If we’re going to have a love triangle, we might as well make it a harem.

I wonder if I was doing something like this around that time.

I heard that in the past, serialized novels in newspapers often used love triangles to keep readers engaged every day.

>>172

It may be that there’s not much evolution in terms of creativity.

I don’t need a losing heroine.

If the heroine who was rejected can also have a happy ending, then that’s good.

But just roughly pairing off the men and women who are decoys is simple.

>>174

The final episode’s mating season is crap.

I thought Urusei Yatsura would have a four-character connection, but it turned out not to.

There’s nothing better than a cute girl…

Love triangle (unrequited love)

It seems this author doesn’t have much skill in writing romantic comedies.

>>180

I’ll give you half of my life for this once-in-a-lifetime confession scene, so give me half of your life in return.

No… I came to like that clumsiness…

I like the kind of hints that suggest whether these two, who lost, might start dating after the main story…

>>181

If there isn’t a proper depiction of them sticking together, it turns into clearance sale… so if they are going to stick together, I want some kind of depiction to show it.

I don’t need the final episode’s mating season.

I feel that Rumiko is good at drawing covers for cracked pots.

Wasn’t there a love triangle?

Even though I was writing about multiple couples and their close relationships pretty well…

I also dislike making light of the final episode’s breeding season.

I think it’s not that they are bad at romantic comedy, but rather that it’s simply a classic approach without any twists.

Was his back that big? I really like that scene…

Is the love for romantic comedies in editing the same as the love for those who like war?

I’ll kill you.

Rumiko Takahashi doesn’t try to portray the main characters as good people, so when things get complicated in their romantic relationships, it feels understandable…

In the case of Silver Spoon, the protagonist probably didn’t have time for a romantic comedy.

“Are you some kind of devil, trying to increase troubles in eight houses?”

Inuyasha doesn’t really care, but it was hell.

Considering the specialization of the content and the character development in the Silver Spoon university arc, I feel like it might be somewhat underwhelming if it were to be done.

When you go to college, it’s almost like a character reset from high school…

Wasn’t it the case that the author rushed to finish the serialization of Silver Spoon due to family caregiving?

I haven’t heard anything at all about the current talk on couples.

Is the storyline of Arslan Senki in the manga original?

What will happen to the original quirky and cute knight character?

I like that child.

Arslan ends with both enemies and allies being worn down and ultimately a mutual defeat.

In the power dynamics with this author, it must really be just one light suggestion among many.
