Anime rating game

Any work in which Shiina Mashiro is involved has an art style that looks like a 1080P high-definition version.

Other works generally only have a 480P or even 360P resolution.

Having gotten used to 1080P, going back to 360P is simply unacceptable.

As for Musashino's works, I've been following them all the way through, so there's really no need to watch them again.

Whether it's anime, games, or the recently published manga "Fate/Grand Order" in JUMP.

Lost in thought, I rode my bicycle incredibly fast.

Just as you turn the corner, another bicycle comes speeding towards you.

The cyclist, Aki Tomoya, happened to recognize him; he was Ayasaki Hayate, who had won the event a few days ago.

"Beware!"

boom!

The next moment, the two collided head-on.

Without paying any attention to anything else or even greeting the other person, Aki Tomo got up, pushed his bicycle, and hurriedly ran towards the bookstore on the street.

Are there still any Oregairu light novels available?

"Of course, all three volumes are available."

"Three volumes? I already have all the others, I only want the latest volume that was just released today."

"I'm talking about the latest one."

Following the clerk's finger, Aki Tomoya quickly spotted the Oregairu light novel in the most prominent position on the bookshelf near the entrance.

“Huh…?”

Upon getting closer, I couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

These three volumes are all light novels based on Oregairu, and he had never seen any of the three covers before.

As a seasoned otaku, he could never have missed seeing a released work.

In other words, all three volumes are newly released works.

He picked up the three novels in succession and looked at the titles on the covers: "Oregairu - Iroha Chapter 1", "Oregairu - Yukino Chapter 1", and "Oregairu - Yui Chapter 1". He instantly understood the current situation.

"I see, so it's like a visual novel where three storylines run simultaneously? Novels can use this technique?"

I've played many games like this, but this is the first time I've seen a novel with multiple storylines.

Generally speaking, many novels have a fixed female protagonist, and at most, an "what if" plot will be added at the end.

However, in order not to affect the female lead's status in the audience's hearts, the IF plot will definitely not be too long.

And in Spring Things, there is a 1 after the character "篇".

Clearly, this is not the end.

If there's a 1, there's definitely a 2, and maybe even a 3.

In other words, there is no absolute female protagonist in this novel; the three female protagonists are equal in number.

"Excuse me, how do other fans buy Oregairu? Do they buy all three volumes together? Or do they only buy the one featuring their favorite heroine?"

"I usually buy all three books together."

"Right."

Even fans of a particular female character won't hesitate to buy stories about other female characters, so they won't be speechless when criticizing others online.

As for Aki Tomoya himself, he naturally bought all three volumes at the same time.

Personally, he prefers Yukino Yukinoshita, but he doesn't dislike Yuihama or Isshiki.

When I was paying at the counter, a tall man in a suit wearing sunglasses suddenly walked over and handed a note to the clerk.

This scene completely startled the shop assistant, whose hands trembled uncontrollably.

Seeing that she didn't take the note or pay for him, Aki Tomo couldn't help but lean over and take a look at the note.

“Huh…?”

The note read: "The latest volume of Oregairu, the final volume of the manga/anime series 'On the Eve of Fate' released this Monday in JUMP."

Is this guy a homebody? Doesn't seem like it.

Judging from the looks of it, it's probably someone buying something for them.

"Are you here to buy books for someone else? The Oregairu store should have them. This week's JUMP was released yesterday, and I looked for many stores after school yesterday, but they were all sold out. I don't know if the store has any more in stock."

The man suddenly looked over and slowly spoke:

"Find these three things for me, and I'll give you 1 as a reward."

"No need, the store should have it all, it won't even take a few minutes." Aki Tomoya then turned to the clerk, "Do you still have any JUMP in stock this week?"

"Yes, it just arrived this morning."

The shop assistant finally realized what was happening, quickly took the note, glanced at it, and immediately ran to the store to find the book.

"Are you buying books for someone else? Actually, coming in the morning is the best time; if you come in the afternoon, they're basically sold out by now."

In this situation, Aki Tomo wasn't in a hurry to leave, so she simply started chatting with the man.

"If it weren't for the excessive surveillance at school, I would have actually wanted to sneak out to buy books at noon, since most bookstores would have stock by then."

"If you come over after school and walk even a little slower, many bookstores will be gone."

"I understand," the man replied, then added, "The young lady woke up too late this morning and told Himegami to go buy it. However, since the young lady only mentioned it casually, Himegami completely forgot about it and only just remembered."

? ?

Young lady? Himegami?

Aki Tomoya inexplicably thought of the blonde little girl he had seen at the event.

"Sanzenin Nagi?"

"Yes."

"That housekeeper does seem a bit dim-witted. Hmm...? Wait a minute, it's only Tuesday, right? It's not a holiday, why doesn't she stop by to buy it on her way home from school?"

“Our young lady never goes to school.”

"...Stay-at-home?"

"Ah."

Aki Tomoya was completely speechless.

Although outsiders often lump together the terms "otaku" and "homebody," in his mind, there is a significant difference between the two.

The former simply likes anime and manga-related things, has a job, and can be called an otaku; the latter is a useless person who doesn't go to school, doesn't work, and stays at home all the time.

I saw her at the finals that day and thought she was a very lively little girl, but it turns out she's a useless human.

boom! !

"it hurts!!"

Suddenly punched by the man, Aki Tomo clutched his stomach and curled up into a ball.

"Ouch... Why did you hit me?"

Did you accidentally blurt out what was on your mind?

"I'm sorry, but this is the young lady's order."

"Huh...? She's not here either?"

Aki Tomoya clutched his stomach, and after a while, he straightened up and looked around.

It was only then that he noticed the hidden camera pinned to the man's chest and the earphones he was wearing.

"Wireless transmission? Has technology advanced that much now? So, Miss Sanzenin is watching this way."

"Ah."

"..."

At this moment, Aki Tomoya was somewhat embarrassed.

It turns out I just did something stupid like talking badly about someone to their face, so I deserved the punch.

"Well... I'll be going now."

Since the shop assistant was still dawdling, Aki Tomoya simply counted out the change from his wallet, placed it on the counter, picked up the bag, and turned to leave.

Carrying a bag and pushing his bicycle, after walking a distance, Aki Tomoya sat on a bench by the street, picked up "Oregairu: The Springtime Story Volume 1", and slowly began to read.

After reading it in one go, and combined with the illustrations, I had a strange feeling in my chest. It was as if Iroha Isshiki's voice calling "senpai" was faintly in my ear.

Even Yukino fans, after reading this volume of the novel, inevitably had thoughts like "Iroha is so cute, I want a girlfriend like her, I think I've fallen for someone else."

Even though I've already finished reading the entire novel, I can't bear to look away from the illustrations. Gazing at those exquisite and perfect illustrations, I feel as if I've become Hachiman Hikigaya.

There is a very cute girl who is trying to win him over.

"Oh no, I think I've been poisoned, poisoned by something called Musashino."

Although he really wanted to open his phone and share his feelings at this moment, he was also very clear that if he went online after only watching Iroha no Maki, he would definitely be spoiled rotten.

Therefore, we should at least wait until we've finished reading the other two volumes before making any decisions.

“Hoo…Hoo…”

After taking several deep breaths and regaining my initial composure, I picked up the Yukino Maki light novel.

Chapter 367 Is it possible? She's already a cripple.

[This is amazing! The novel actually uses this visual novel-style multi-narrative structure, and the plots are all very interesting.]

[Yeah, this is truly outrageous. People who like a particular heroine can just read that volume of the novel, avoiding all the fan wars—perfect! But I'm genuinely curious now, who would the real-life Hachiman choose?]

[Why bother choosing? I'd want them all.]

[In novels, you can have it all, but how is that possible in reality? Japan has a monogamous system. Besides, given Yukino's family background, even if she were willing to be the first wife, would her family agree?]
