げんしけん: 二代目Chapter 111 Manga Review
Genshiken Nidaime chapter 111 Manga Review

SPOILER Summary/Synopsis:

Hato remarks on the cliched position of Madarame falling on him. Madarame remarks that his blush on receiving chocolates from Hato on Valentine’s Day, meaning he must have felt something. Hato reminds him that no matter what, he doesn’t have breasts, the situation isn’t proper harem fanservice at all. Madarame reminds him that in BL terms, the situation is full of fanservice.

Since they are both drunk, Madarame uses this as an excuse and starts to move in on Hato. Hato protests, saying this isn’t in Madarame’s wishy-washy uke BL character type. To that, Madarame says that Hato’s the only one he’d be forceful to, so Hato gives up. However, before Madarame kisses him, Kuchiki is up and observing. Kuchiki then moves to the bathroom, where he proceeds to urinate for a very long time.

Kuchiki goes back to bed, so Hato takes the opportunity to take off. Once he leaves, Madarame freaks out about what he almost did. The snoring Kuchiki reminds Madarame of whom he needs to thank for his near disaster.

Hato walks to Yajima’s home, knowing that he can’t hope for more since Madarame and he were both drunk. However, he is happy that for a moment, Madarame accepted him.

At Yajima’s home, Keiko has decided Hato is taking too much time.

Thoughts/Review:

Well, Madarame certainly went further than I thought by staying on top of Hato and even briefly going in for a kiss. Personally, I can’t follow Madarame’s thinking, but that’s just me. Then again, “I’m strictly ‘butter-side-up.'” 😉 Considering how things ended, I think it is safe to say that the Hato route is over.  With Hato gone, Madarame freaks out over nearly taking his toast butter-side down is the strongest indication of why I think this route is over. Plus, Hato knows that Madarame is butter-side-up.

So, that leaves Sue, Keiko, and Angela. I just can’t see Madarame hooking up with any of them, even though I’ve long shipped Sue. I still think that at the end of the day, Saki will be the one.

One thing this chapter made clear was why Not-Hato in Spotted Flower got a boob job. The whole breast thing is something Hato isn’t biologically equipped with, and he knows Madarame likes breasts. End of story.

I had to laugh at the cliched moment of Kuchiki interrupting Madarame and Hato, then proceeding to take a long leak. I don’t drink any more, but when I was Kuchiki’s age (roughly), I did. So I’ve had those LONG bathroom breaks. The “best” were after 10 minutes when you think you’ve emptied your bladder and you walk to the sink to wash your hands, suddenly, you need to go to the bathroom again ’cause all that alcohol is just passing right through your system. 😆

Not much else I find I want to discuss. Now to see what happens in the aftermath.
