Good, i was honestly about to cave and read if the anime didnt get a quick announcement. This was a consistently enjoyable watch these past 6 months im glad to do it again.

@tragedydesu A good character with a satisfying character arc/direction is not something you only obtain by being the winning girl. Blue box handled it excellently if not better than just about any love triangle ive seen for making you deeply sympathetic for the losing girl but also making a pretty objective case for why she absolutly is not the right person. Blue box is just about the only anime i can think of where the girl I liked more getting rejected was a massive highlight and its cause the series weaponized the melancholy to its benefit.

@RobertBobert yeah exactly, it really sucks to see a far better heroine get rejected (i mostly avoid them because of that)
love triangles have to be more creative and break the usual tropes,there is just no point of them if the winner is clear from the beginning

1. How do you know which Heroine is better if you haven’t seen the series?
2. You watched Furuba.

@JizzyHitler don’t bother, he only cares about his ships in fiction. In fact, he didn’t like Eren’s plan because he didn’t bang Mikasa. If he watched Ao no Hako, he'd call Chinatsu a disgusting violent tsundere bitch.

@tragedydesu People often sympathize with the "side heroine" for obvious reasons, because their arcs tend to be given, understandably, more emotional depth and development.

Great news! I’ll read the manga at some point.

You know an anime have a nasty love triangle when the side heroine have more favorites than the main one

Cool, nobody asked.

He hasn’t seen the anime btw, so he should keep quiet about his opinions.
