Flames are inevitable? A lot of people complain about the “story-driven” development
There are several factors involved in the background of this fire incident.
The source of the fire was dissatisfaction with the contents of Chapter 20, but that is not a one-sided problem.
However, if I had to narrow it down to a single cause, it would have to be “the fact that some of the members of the club left the club of their own volition.
To put it bluntly, if it hadn’t been for this, there would have been a lot of controversy over other factors, but it wouldn’t have led to a flame war.
To put it simply, the members who were transferred were labeled as “traitors.
If you look at their motives with a favorable eye, their feelings are not completely incomprehensible.
Originally, Karin wanted to be a model, and she had always said that she wanted to reach the top of the school idols in her own way, so if there was a club that was closer to that direction than the club, it was possible for her character to move to that club.
Ai has always had a desire to get to know different people and see different scenery, so it’s understandable that she would want to experience the school idol club and get close to the new face of Ranju.
Shizuku also has a dream to become an actress, and she tries to make up for what she lacks by working as a school idol, so it’s natural that she would have a strong interest in the school idol club, where she might be able to achieve more.
As for Shioriko, since she and Ranju were close friends, she felt that she couldn’t leave her alone.
Above all, the Nijigasaki Gakuen School Idol Club is a group that is supposed to respect each individual’s direction.
We focus on what we want to do, and then we work hard to improve each other.
The story in Chapter 20 and the second season can be interpreted as an extreme form of expressing Nijigaku’s individuality, saying that it is possible to leave the group if you find something else you want to do.
However, these are just the cases when interpreted favorably.
Both Karin and Ai are not the kind of people who don’t understand that other members will be hurt if they leave the group, and since their conflicts were not depicted at all, I feel a strong sense of discomfort.
In the past, Shizuku also left the club once and it almost destroyed the club, so many fans were not convinced by her choice to leave again.
And the biggest problem is the existence of the “watchdog committee”.
Shioriko says that Ranju is “not a bad person” and portrays him as the type of person who pushes her opinions, though she doesn’t mean to offend, but in fact, Ranju is blatantly sabotaging the club.
He doesn’t approve of the club’s activities at all, and when they try to practice or hold a live performance, the watch committee members interfere, which is nothing but harassment.
Not only in Squashy and Nijigaku, but in all of the previous Love Lives, there have been many times when groups have disbanded or been in crisis, but there has never been anything as dire as “betrayal” or “harassment”.
Fans were repulsed by this situation, and it developed into a flame war.
Naturally, Ranju was blamed for this.
Do they hate Ranj?
Due to the aforementioned reasons, Ranju became a hated character as soon as he appeared.
However, there are still a few fans who don’t hate Ranju so much.
There are several factions, such as the “I like the way she looks” and the “She’s cute without any problems” factions, and among them, the “She’s not bad if you look at her as an enemy character” faction seems to be the most calm.
It’s true that Ranju has several elements that are antagonistic to the fans.
But if you look at him as an enemy character, he is rather attractive.
This is because enemies shine only when they are hated.
In order for the members of the club to finally force her to admit defeat and create catharsis there, the more difficult her character is, the better, and in that respect, Ranju is more than adequate.
The more difficult his character is, the better.
I don’t know if it’s the consensus of the fans …… or not, but many fans are saying that they hope that “now that it’s been released to the public, we have to accept it and hope that it will take a positive turn from here.
The key to that good direction is Ranju, and whether she will be truly disliked or whether the wind will change will be important for the story to continue.
Summary
At present, I have the impression that it is difficult to convey the message, “There are attractive aspects to Runge! I have the impression that there is no way to convey the message.
I hope that the staff at Scosta will do their best to save her!
