Im playing catch up and just got to: Our Time Atop This Mattress. Even Sensei is calling this out as a trap. What are the ramifications of picking one girl over another? Rin seems like a bad homie idea, Yumi also sounds like a bad idea as she too is sort of a hommie. Ayane seems like a no lose choice. Tsubasa seems like the choice the game wants me to make... and Chinami, well I am pretty sure the game is going to turn off if I click that button like it has done many times before when I experiment with choices.

I had forgotten the fact that Noriko literally drugged Akira, what the actual fuck.
I try my best to be on your team, Noriko. But what the actual fuck. I'm livid. If I was Akira, I'd never talk to this girl again. Then again I'd never be Akira for a multitude of reasons, praise be.

The game won't turn off. But there is currently only one choice that leads to an event, which is Ayane's. And that's likely the only one that will turn to an event (there are future conversations regarding Yumi or Rin though).
Awesome. Exactly what I needed. My fear was a need for backtracking if I missed an event. Thanks man.

I don't find hot to be drugged without consent no. I went into this convinced to give her the win, all she had to do was literally show up. Yet somehow she managed to ruin everything. As much as it pains me, Ami is completely right. Noriko's idea of love (in this particular case) is just distorted beyond belief - she had no way to know if this would harm him and did it anyway for such a stupid reason.
Like, you searched for this person your entire life, you want to dedicate your entire life for him, and your brilliant plan AFTER HE SAID FOR YOU TO STOP ACTING INSANE is to drug him to win a random competition? my god. Someone give Noriko an award for being the most stupid person alive.

Complete opposite for me. It showed me that she's COMMITTED to the bit. She took Ami's victory in one fell swoop.

Eh, I'd say it's still different. Nodoka was clearly making a guess, not a joke, and she had just finished giving off a string of eerily accurate answers that she also shouldn't have known. Everyone present seemed to be taking it seriously, even if they possibly weren't sure it was true. They just don't mention it during Nodokathon. So yeah I'd just go with bad writing.

I've noticed that the girls really don't care about anyone else besides Akira and their dorm roommate. If Nodoka had done that to any other girl then Uta probably would have shown up. I'm not saying that they don't like the other girls but there's definitely a lot more distance between them then the interactions we see let on.

Which event is this?
I was keen on dismantling this theory, but the only thing I dismantled was my hope that girls care about other girls...

first day of the first dorm wars. can't remember the specific event, but it's between Otoha and Rin's competition and Makoto and Nodoka's. It's somewhere in chapter 2.

If I were to guess, Nodoka probably doesn't consider the book and everything around it, as "her" hurting Futaba. Even accidentally. It's more along the lines of Futaba hurting herself.
Nodoka tried to keep the book out of Futaba's hands (and knowledge), but she went and bought it. Then after that, Nodoka advised Futaba to not read it and even burn it:

Nodoka might even still be waiting for everything to click for Futaba so that she realizes she's overreacting:

Did you forget that Sensei didn't want to talk to anybody after Maya dissapeared? The only ones you can call currently are the ones you are slowly opening up again to

It's definitely a stance. One I'd expect from Nodoka, don't get me wrong. But it's one that's self-serving, hypocritical and convenient. You can't just, in good faith, do something that you know is going to hurt your "best friend", and blame it on them for not being "smart" enough to not delve deeper into it, or expect that they are just on a lower level than you and that eventually they'll reach your understanding of the world and conform to yours.
Futaba has read every single thing Nodoka has written, obviously she was going to read something that had her, all her friends, and the first man she loved in it. "Just don't read" is akin to adding insult to injury. And Nodoka has known Futaba for how long? Obviously she could predict at least some level of hurt from reading it.
My point is, it's not a priority for her. Futaba was never really as sacred as she likes to profess, that's a delusion she, for some reason, likes to maintain.
I mean, does anyone really think that Nodoka loses sleep about anyone's feelings, Futaba included? She and Akira are both detached, difference is that Akira admits to himself the stuff he does is fucked up and we get to see his internal dialogue. He has stuff that is actually sacred to him.
Nodoka? I'm not really sure she's even there enough to diagnose that there is a problem. She's just off. It would be wonderful if Futaba really cuts her off from her life, if the class finds out what she did to Yumi and also cut her off, but to be honest I'm not sure if any of that would even make a difference to her.

With all this Nodoka talk I wanted to point something out and it's that she is going under too many people's radars, she is NOT a normal person, and by normal person, I mean someone like Chika, Sara, Rin, Molly... people that are just people existing in Kumon-mi, and I really have to bring this conversation because you are treating her like one
Nodoka is a Maya-type character like Maya, Ayane, Akira... she KNOWS stuff
It doesn't matter how intelligent you are, one does not simply "know" everything about a person, like their entire personality, their past or even something as crazy predicting completely what someone's about to do.
I understand that you can be a genius and know every single possible piece of media in existance, it takes one in billions of people, a real super genius, and it is not completely far-fetched to have a character like this, but to know everything about people is entirely different.
Nodoka is one of two possible characters;
She is either a Godly being/angel (maybe something different entirely) or..... she is a Selebus self-insert.
Nodoka despite being a Main Cast character, is the only girl in class that Akira has no affection for, this is something Sensei himself tells her. Akira loves EVERY single girl in the game in different quantifiable amounts, one more, another less, but she loves (or at the very least) cares about every single girl in some capacity, but not Nodoka, and it's not something as shallow as "because she is a bad person"
Maya, is a bad person and she's the one Akira supposedly loves the most.
So why does this girl appear out of nowhere, is apparently a genius that knows everything, is a writer, and is for some reason writing a book about everything that happens around AKIRA? sounds similiar to a game called Lessons In Love.
Like Futaba said, it's a "masterpiece" she can't stop reading despite being sick after reading it. (praising his own work and how people view his game)
It's also not a secret Selebus is a fan of Wizards and cute anime girls which is the reason he's doing this game, it's like he is "writing" a universe where he can see one guy fullfilling his desire of corrupting young girls and sleeping with them, but watching is not enough, so he has to put himself in that universe and start corrupting girls together with his own MC (like Haruka and Yumi) because he secretly wishes it was him doing it.
This is why Nodoka has to be a girl, she wishes she could be the one fucking these girls but she doesn't have a penis, so this is the closest he can get to experience this. iT's also ironic how Selebus got fucked by his own creation haha
Either that or it's secretly a divine being using the body of a girl to get Akira to do his bidding, since mental manipulation doesn't seem to work.
