Ichigo 100% - East Side Story

[Ulin]

So it seems Aya Toujo is back!! And although she's in university now she doesn't seem to have got over Manaka... Expect many many misunderstandings

[Diluc]

The only dissapointment here is the MC is Manaka clone, i honestly expected the new boy will be someone with stronger personality than Manaka to end up with Aya, this one......blasphemy!

[RedWingFM]

Hmm, it looks like it's time for Aya to shine
Interestingly, this sequel about Aye or other characters from Ichigo will appear?

[Diluc]

They definitely will appear but when we don't know.
Chapter 1 nothinh much than tease. I hope next chapter we get actual story there also author please give some backstory to mc he is totally crap.

[RedWingFM]

He is a Manaka's parody

[Obelisk ze Tormentor]

Wait, a new series and Toujo is still in love with a useless loser MC?! If true then I'll pass. A big pass. Following the original manga was already a torture with Manaka. No way I'm gonna go through that again with another ugly loser MC who miraculously attracted all the gorgeous girls for dumb reasons.

Before opening this I've been asking myself, do I really believe in second chances? I mean i loved the first one. I loved it right up to the last couple of chapters. However, after being horribly disappointed with the ending i just don't know if i can walk back into this again.

Ok, after the overly dramatic self reflection I'm all in i guess. Well, I'll wait about 10 chapters in to read it and see how it goes. I'll probably love it up to the last chapter again but what's life without risk. I mean surely the author/artist wouldn't do something crazy like have the MC walk away from the girls for several years to become a camera man and come back to finally decide to date one of them seriously out of the blue or anything like that.

I just realized something Higashi 100% is Aya story which mean she is the main lead, making this series being harem again will obsolete the manga main purpose. To cure broken-hearted Aya, there are no need for another waifu war in story to cure a broken-hearted heroine.
There are one things to say here: this manga most likely will be Otome/ reverse harem where Aya instead will encircled by hot guys who will be her end boy replacing Manaka. Nakama probably one of guy first appear here then another guys will appear again.
If true then that is interesting but i don't think i can stand the fujobait

[Ulin]

I'm going to predict that just when no!Manaka began getting really close to Aya, True!Manaka will make his arrival to shake things up (and to dig No!Manaka in doubts about why Aya is getting close to him)

[Kazu-kun]

Will the author not forget that Aya is the main girl this time around?

I loved Nishino but the fact the story completely shifted to her side at the end in the original manga was bullshit.

[sayf82]

am i the only one who totally loved I-100% ending girl?
and i think

Spoiler for she is:

the only girl who received many birthday present

[wuhugm]

Nishino best girl

[tsunade666]

wtf is this for real? I was mainly disappointed with the last 2 works that I read from that author but a sequel to a good long running manga? please no. don't ruin a story that is already completed just to give an annoying stupid manaka? or protag clone to end with aya. aya had become a strong woman in the end of the story and I'm fine with that ending. i don't want it ruin.

[sayf82]

how is this one in the timeline of the original at the end?

Not really. The last chapter of the original manga makes it clear she was still pining for Manaka. This is a good chance to let her get over it. It's a bit of a bummer the guy's kind of a Manaka clone, but maybe Aya will start seeing him as his own person soon.

In any case, I'm glad this spin-off is being published. Aya deserves some closure if nothing else.

EDIT: On the other hand, I just realized this story seems to take place before the last chapter, so maybe it won't resolve anything.

[n0m@n]

TBH it was a let down. Was expecting better.
If Kawashita wanted to hook Aya up with another guy for her happy ending, she should have used Amachi rather than a guy who is a clone of Manaka. Hopefully the story gets better from here.

It made perfect sense, actually Nishino and Aya shared main heroine spot from chapter one so it could go either way. And Aya was too late.

Satsuki should have win anyway, because she is best girl!

I don't really mind that Nishino got the guy. I mostly just hated the way the author went about it.

Spoiler for spoiler to be safe:

My mind is fussy after so many years, but if I remember correctly, Nishino made a confession and Manaka didn't have the balls to return her feelings. Then he saw Aya with a guy and mistakenly thought she had a boyfriend (it was actually her brother, if I remember correctly). Being butthurt about that, he went looking for Nishino and accepted her confession.

The author tried to fix the damage by having Manaka stick to his choice even after learning Aya didn't really have a boyfriend, but the sting from the fact he made his choice under a misunderstanding never went away for me. It left a really bad taste in my mouth.

[RedWingFM]

Somehow I get Honna Wakou's vibes from this work

[wuhugm]

Ou, even Satsuki is here~

So clone Manaka will resume his harem, I guess?
