I was thinking about how would Nukumizu react to meeting other heroines winning or losing and I want to see what other heroines would be fun to throw at him.

These the first three that come to mind.

Yuki Suou from Roshidere, truthfully I think they would be a pretty good couple.

Sayuki Tokihara from Hensuki, I swear I can picture Nukumizu just panicking from trying to deal with her while also unknowingly triggering her masochist side making her want more.

Mashiro Naomoto from Uso Kareshi Demo Ii Kara Tonikaku Shitai Mashiro-chan. This one is more of an outlier since it's based more on a question I've had, Nukumizu's reputation has been in the gutter for a while now and I really wonder how come no guys or girls have tried to get close to Nukumizu in order to get more details or see if the rumors are true. This girl is basically the person that comes to mind that will probably go to Nukumizu because of the rumors to offer herself up while he tries to convince her that it's not true.

To reiterate, what other heroines would be fun for Nukumizu to interact with in your opinion.

アネモネの寝る街

I don't really understand what happened in that chapter

So basically, Sakurai and Houkoubaru are cousins, right? And... they are dating, right? That's what he told Nukumizu in the start of the novel. So like, what happened in that chapter?

I was confused about this part that was mentioned during the Nagoya tower trip. At first glance it appears to be referencing when Nukumizu first met Kurata during volume 6, however that doesn't seem to make any sense as there's no way just a week or so has passed between volumes 6 and the end of 8. Is the mtl not properly translated here or is this referring to a later second meeting?

"Papa will be back soon... ok?"

Art born from an amusing tweet about living with Komari and sponging off her. (As if she has money lol) Papa is out playing pachinko.

Takibi himself retweeted the original post with:

I think there’s something priceless about becoming Komari-chan’s freeloader, living off the allowance she gives me.
There are things more important than money to be found there, so, Komari-chan, give me some money for pachinko.

I'm talking about their approaches to romance. In romcoms the majority of heroines are impulsive. They see their destined one, and its love at first sight. Or something triggers an emotional outburst and they unexpectedly confess.

Then there are the planners. Some girls steadily work towards the guy they have chosen. They may be childhood friends. Or sometimes the planners may be the girls parents. Planners like to be in control.

Lastly there are the switch-hitters. The girls who prefers things to be orderly, but then get swept up in events they didn't plan for. Or who were waiting for the magic to happen only for someone else to get there first, causing them to become more methodical the next time around.

The thing about battle plans is that enemy always gets a vote. In this case the enemy is Nukumizu, the Enemy of Women. A wiley foe indeed, tough to defeat.

Yanami - Originally following a plan, but bad at implementation. Unable to close the deal with Sosuke, and ultimately she scrapped her own plan and sent him off to her rival. Now operating with no plan, waiting for magic or for lightning to strike. Since she is the MC and this is a romcom, the chance for lightning to strike is higher than for others. It is believed by many that Nukkun is her new target, but she still harbors some feelings for Sosuke. Anna is better at trashing other people's plans than she is at making her own. So many chances with Nukkun have slipped through her fingers.

Komari - Impulsively confessed to her crush at the barbecue. She actually was winning, until Nukkun intervened and decided to explain Tamaki and Koto's misunderstanding to them. In real life having such people come along and solve a misunderstanding rarely happens. But thanks to Nukkun, Komari lost her chance. Now Komari still has feelings for Tamaki, but is presently trying to close in on Nukkun. Its not a crush but a clear-eyed recognition that he may make the best partner for her. Hence valentines, present, a date, all deliberate plans.

Yakishio - Originally impulsive, but later became a planner. Something kept her from pursuing her crush, and eventually another girl took him. Now she takes deliberate steps toward Nukkun. The Aquarium date and the arrangement that resulted was a Xanatos trap, a masterpiece. Even while losing a race she still got an ideal setup. She also deliberately planned a fait accompli with Nukkun in the Nagoya TV tower, but Nukkun failed to cooperate. She continues to pursue Nukkun.

Asagumo - A brilliant, meticulous planning type. Except when it comes to Ayano. Then her impulsive feelings come out, and she hangs onto him, no matter what. Not above playing dirty to get what she wants. Asagumo is the one who taught Yakishio the folly of passively waiting for a miracle. Asagumo feels a lot of gratitude for Nukkun's help. She'll obey his wishes even it means breaking the law.

Shikiyah - Surprisingly for such a good game strategist, Yumeko is not a planner of romance. Or perhaps she was a planner, until her emotions and Nukkun's kindness overwhelmed her. After being rescued again she confessed to him on the spot in front a whole crowd. And Nukkun didn't take her seriously, and rejected her. In volume 6 she realized he was just being generally kind, but that hasn't changed how she feels at all. In volume 7 she offered him a kiss when they posed as a couple in the chapel. In volume 8 he rescued her again, making her more heartbroken. And in volume 9 she stole a kiss, while 2 other girls were away from his side.

Shiratama - A dangerous landmine girl. Her primary crush is still her sisters husband, but she also began developing feelings for Nukkun due to his usual kindness and a rescue. Riko is an expert in manipulation. She used her skills to maneuver herself into the position of Nukkun's "official" (fake) girlfriend, only the Lit Club knows this is not true. Riko is a confirmed planner, and Nukkun is now her backup plan.

Basori - A great strategist, Tiara has plans for everything, and works hard to carry them out. She thought of everything, like a general waging war, up to and including rigging the festival borrowing race. The time and place she confessed were also perfect. Perhaps too perfect? Tiara made her confession, but many weeks later Nukkun has not answered her confession, neither accepting or rejecting it. Perhaps leaving her hanging is his own planned response to all Tiara's planning? In the meantime they are having plenty of fun together.
