@raitoiro Well that's what people call Romcom. In Fantasy terms, that's like defeating the demon lord in the 2nd chapter~ Also, Buta Seishun or Monogatari or any other series where it starts with blocking the romcom aspect from the start (except for SAO), it's to turn the audience attention from "just who will win" to the actual themes the story hold. (those 2 examples are coming of age/teen drama with supernatural elements as plot device, after all) So, instead of just people wondering "is it Yuki or Yui or Saika?", it's more about the stories these characters have to tell. (or just who's the cutest...) Well, in Romance/Drama, the focus is different from romcom (so they have different audience, I feel like you hit it up with drama-type/tragedy more) Well, in this title: Vol. 1-2: Romcom Vol. 3: It seems it would be a bit heavy cuz there's some distance between the main characters Vol.4: The heaviest as they go into some characters' background and kinda like the end. Vol.5: After 2 heavy vols, he decided to give some fan-service (not swimsuit type but having a couple event) and end the series on happy note (instead of dramatic one).
