Shota Mukawa, an ordinary boy with no special characteristics, was broken by the shock of being betrayed by the four girls he trusted. Heartbroken, he moved to the countryside and worked on himself while healing his emotional wounds.

One day, his mother remarried and he became Shota Nijitani, returning to the place where he was born and raised. At the high school he transferred to, there were girls called the “Four Colored Goddesses”. These goddesses are the demons who betrayed Shota and threw him into hell.

Shota was shaken by the trauma of his past, but the goddesses didn’t recognize Shota Nijitani as Shota Mukawa because he had changed his appearance and last name.

He takes this as an opportunity to keep his distance and try to live his life, but somehow the relationship grows deeper.

Gradually, the truth of what happened in the past begins to emerge.……

I have read this novel once before - when it was on hiatus around 2-3 years ago (?) and I strongly remembered really liking it. Fast forward to now, New chapters have been released. Was surprised to see it back so I reread the whole thing. So... do I still like it?

Yes, I still do.

Four Colored Goddesses is a good novel. It's not a masterpiece nor would I call it perfect. It's decently written most of the time and really enjoyable to read through. The way the prose is... more>> written in english - is nicely edited even if its MTL. The characters themselves are written decently as the author really wrote the goddesses so well to make me hate them.

All 4 Goddesses have made mistakes in the past sure, hate them all you want but they're not irredeemable.

Spoiler

well except red f*ck YOU. yeah im biased against her

[collapse]

Can't believe I actually like one of the goddesses now though even though I hated them SO MUCH in my first and second read. She is still evil sure, but she had a decent character development that made me like her.

Spoiler

It's white by the way.

[collapse]

Shota himself, is pretty funny with his s*upid monologue at times albeit he's too soft. Most will probably hate him because of this but I myself, like this.

Side characters themselves are good too. Most especially Renji and Yakumo. both are bros. Well except for Yakumo since Shota and him haven't interacted that much but soon I hope. Others do need more screen time though...

The setting itself is great with the God system in the school it's entertaining.

Volume 1 was really good everything was setup nicely.

Volume 2 at the start was good too till we get to the blue and red parts but it does pick up again after that.

Volume 3 is looking really promising as it introduces one of the best characters and the story finally is advancing. This may be its best volume if executed good.

All in all, its a good novel. It's not groundbreaking nor is it absolute cinema but it is incredibly enjoyable. I highly recommend reading Four Colored Goddesses. <<less

I remember reading this years ago but forgot to post the review. As my memory is fuzzy, I would only write about 2 major points that remain in my memories:

1) I have read a lot of reviews dunking on Shota for not going 'Chad' mode and taking revenge on the 4 goddesses. You guys need to understand that despite seemingly having completely changed personality on the outside, this guy has a major responsibility now - his stepsister. Him going for revenge will definitely affect his sister who is not only... more>> in the same school but also is a member one of Goddess' factions. So he chooses to hide his identity and let go off revenge but NOT forgiving them for what they did as he doesn't have any positive feelings for them. This is generally how a teenager IRL will act.

However I do agree with the reviews that MC still willingly involving in the Goddess' matters and solving them is major flaw and makes him unlikable and a masochistic fool.

2) All of the reviews I have read claim that Black Goddess is the best and White Goddess is the worst. My opinion is just reverse: the colour is synonymous for ranking the character among the 4 Goddesses. A brief info about them:

Akazawa (Red Goddess)

Spoiler

Childhood friend. Liked Shota. Discovered that Shota feels jealous of Reiji. Intentionally compares Reiji to Shota and badmouths the latter. Gets thrilled to watch Shota fall in self depreciation after listening to her comparisons. Learns the false rumour that Shota stalks her. Doesn't do anything. Later tries to clear up the misunderstanding with him instead of denying the rumours and clearing it up.

[collapse]

Aoyama (Blue Goddess)

Spoiler

Childhood friend. Liked Shota. Discovers the false rumour that Shota is stalking Akazawa. Decides to keep away from Shota so that she doesn't lose her friends. Yet forces Shota on playing online FPS games completely disregarding his mental state. Calls this self gratification and oppurtunist attitude as 'friendship'. Pushes Shota off the stairs. Doesn't apologize. Instead blames him and plays as victim directly causing another false rumour.

[collapse]

Kuromine (Black Goddess)

Spoiler

Typical library girl. Has no friends. Liked Shota. One day Shota takes fall for him trying to protect her from a falling bookshelf. A girl sees this and starts another false rumour of him trying to r*pe Kuromine. Kuromine does nothing. Instead feels delighted that now girls talk to her as no one used to talk to her. Happily takes advantage of this false rumour to portray herself as victim and talk to girls.

[collapse]

Shirase (White Goddess)

Spoiler

Different school from Shota. Doesn't love Shota. Loves her brother. Shows false sense of affection to Shota when he was already down with three rumours. Completely breaks his heart revealing that all she did was fake and was meant to make her brother jealous. Final nail in the coffin for Shota.

[collapse]

Now as to why I hate Kuromine the most and Shirase the least:

Spoiler

All Goddesses except Shirase has figured out that the new transfer guy is Shota himself. However they pretend not to recognize him. Why? The reason is what infuriated me the most - Because they are too guilty of their wrongdoing and so to compensate, each of the 3 Goddesses plans to make him fall for her while keeping him in the dark that they already know his true identity to 'protect' him from other 3 Goddesses.

This sickens my stomach so much. If you are actually guilty of your wrongdoings, you either come clean and apologize to him or you maintain your distance from him. But these 3 Goddesses are using 'love' as a shield to subvert their guilt and are again, in a sense, betraying him. These girls are too afraid to face consequences of their sins and haven't learnt their lessons. At all. Their core of self gratitious, manipulative women remain the same even now.

On the other hand, Shirase is the only one who was completely unaware of Shota's identity. She realized very late but as soon as she did, she immediately came clean and apologized for her mistakes despite knowing that he might not forgive her. She is now even trying to amend her sins by protecting him under her faction and is clean with him in every matter. This is what you call as truly being guilty and actually trying to atone for your sins.

So why is she the most hated? Because unlike the 3 Goddesses, SHE DOESN'T LOVE HIM. She was never in love with him before nor now unlike the other 3 Goddesses who are falsifying their selfishness and hiding their cowardice as 'love'.

Remember, these 3 Goddesses ruined his social reputation (Shirase's dealings didn't affect his reputation) and are still trying to manipulate him. The Black Goddess was responsible for the worst slander for a man - a r*pe attempt and yet she is trying to win him by taking advantage of his sister being in her faction. And yet readers forgive that because she shows some cute reactions clearly forgetting that she was the culprit for framing him for the most heinous crime. And Shirase? Not a chance cuz she doesn't love him.

[collapse]

This is the exact reason that Japanese novelists produce absolute tr*sh stories with tr*sh MCs enmasse - because the readers are willing to consume anything as long that FMC hints of being in love with MC despite being utter garbage and/or dealt emotional scars to a wimp MC and these 'readers' would forget the flaws and praise this 'romance' to heaps and bounds.

The only good thing about this novel are just 2 charcter- Reiji, Shota's best friend and Kanon Shion, his stepsister. Frankly enough, she is the most decent and sensible character and I wouldn't mind her being a couple with Shota but they haven't shown any interest as romantic partners which is good in itself as normal siblings. Otherwise all characters including the MC are pure tr*sh.

Also Shota's mother snitched on Shota to tell Akazawa about his return beforehand despite knowing all what she had done to him. Aweful mother. <<less

I've only read the English translated version of this story and so far it has been a sh*t show (the good kind). The story is your typical broken, depressed, and untrusting MC just like the other novels soafp translates, except this time, all if not most heroines in the story are all discriminate, manipulative, and 'b*tchy' women. Thankfully so far, it is not a harem and the MC should not take a love interest with one of the Four Coloured Goddesses. I mean cmon, ... more>>
Spoiler

3 of them have mentally and emotionally scarred the MC whilst the other didn't speak out when the MC did a crime he did not do that would typically ruin someones life forever

[collapse]
. No matter what anyone says they DO NOT deserve to be in a relationship with the MC. Hopefully though, he could make them fall for him (not deliberately) only to be in a relationship with a girl he actually loves MWAHAHA. Ahem anyways, I do still recommend you guys read it though, it's a rollercoaster of a read however it will all be worth it in the end (hopefully) <<less

3/5 stars, I was so disappointed to the MC, like, why you easily forgets what they done to you. And keep paying them with kindness and even fix their problems.

The Heroines are all tr*sh (except Kuromine) imo, and his friend (Renji) is the only good in this novel.

i was so pissed on how he easily forgives the girls like c'mon, they put unforgettable scars to you, if your past self sees that for sure he will punch you, is he dumb or what? Why MC of jp romance novels... more>> are all like this lmao.

Overall, The plot is good and the translations is smooth. Every heroines have their own character development, I was hoping for MC's Character development and not some kind of tools to push other heroine's development. And also, I want to see The interaction between Renji and the MC, The reaction of his step-sister when she discovered the truth. <<less

Honestly cant stand this sort of novel. Not a single character is likeable, including the MC himself.

The MC being the victim that he is is way too forgiving to a disgusting extent. At first, I surely did feel bad for the guy, but he's got to be a masochist with the way in which he interacts with the people who previously hurt him. It's as if he treats everything that happened to him as water under the bridge. I don't care for revenge, but a cold shoulder would've been preferable.

Then... more>> there're the "heroines". They're truly terrible women with the exception of perhaps Black, but she isn't all that great either with accordance of the most recent chapter I read. I would hope that the MC never gets together with any of these women, but it's more than likely.

Such a frustrating read, don't bother wasting your time. <<less

I finished catching up to the raws earlier and I can say it's pretty good. It reminds me of the other series TL did and it does get pretty interesting. This series is very much my cup of tea. You just read about his past and what the 4 goddesses did to him. Major spoiler below so a big warning

Spoiler

Red/Aka kept humiliating him and berating him until MC couldn't take it anymore and a rumor popped up of him being a stalker and eventually stopped talking to her

Blue/Ao was messed up by rumors and got new friends so she slowly stopped talking to MC and she accidentally pushed him down the stairs and he got hospitalized (she broke a bone later on)

Black/Kuro is scared of men but was good friends with MC but one day a senior tried attacking her while she was unconscious and MC saved her but other girls saw the scene and thought MC attacked her and horrible rumors spread about him but kuro never denied any of them

White/Shiro is the mc's ex gf and she cheated on him while they were dating. Turns out she was using him as a tool for her own advantage and didn't care about the mc's feelings

(Later they'll all have chapters to "justify" their actions)

all of this caused him to transfer and move out and later on he slowly tries to reconcile with them (?), so far it's only been shiro and btw kuro is the best girl :>

[collapse]

It's a nice short read and I recommend it a lot. I'm looking forward to more chapters by the author.

... what in the actual hell?

The premise? It's nice, and the execution is incredible. The backstory of each color and their PoV on what happen was nice too... but...

The MC kills the story, no. He doesn't just kill it. He mu*ders all the hype about it.

... more>> There exist something called kindness, but what the MC does is not that.

This story can be compared to something like this... It feels like a good looking steak but when you smell it... it smell rotten. The sight might be amazing, mouthwatering even... but at the end of the day, the insides are all rotten. The moment you decide to bite once, it might left a horrible feeling, but thinking it might have been just that part was the mistake. It was not just the part you just ate, but everything is rotten.

Our MC was hurt in the worse way possible, kick over and over again into the depeest hole possible. This SPEAKS to me. This whole plot is similar to something that happen to me in seven grade, even the whole forced to move schools. Yet, it portrays such a unlikeable character as our MC.

If it was rummors that ruined him, why doesn't he tries to speak out loud the moment people start getting the wrong idea about him? Why does he even SMILE or actively tries to get close to the ones that hurt him. Yes, they don't know in his eyes that he is the one they hurt... but he doesn't even care. He treats them kindly and even goes with what they want. He does this over and over, never even getting a single word.

Our MC can't be called a beta male. He is simply a doormat. Seriously, at this point I can see it. He was a sentient doormat the whole time and it will be the ultimate plot twist.

The whole White goddest was just the worms inside the rotten meat that you found later. How in the name of all that is good, can he even STOMACH speaking to the girl that BROKE HIS HEART and even TOLD HIM how she was just using him at that time (she used another guy in the past to get closer to her brother to his face and how she broke with him, not knowing at that moment HE was that guy...) and how she never loved him. He doesn't question how manipulative she is, he knows that she viewed the other goddest as evil yet suddenly wants to pair him with one?

No, the whole deal with white is already ret*rded. Can't believe how they killed such a good premise. There doesn't need to be vengace or scorn... but MC acts and reacts is beyond ret*rded. There is moral high ground, but this isn't that. This is just us watching MC be the doormat of the world. <<less

This story embraces the troupe of JP harem novels, but has elements that deviates it from others.

We have another Gary Stu MC who has no character or substance. He has no character flaws, and doesn't act consistent with his character (he even said himself that he won't approach any of the heroins). I guess the MC acts like that so the whole plot can happen.

The main focus of this story are the heroines, which are the main reason people read this novel in the first place. They are interesting as... more>> characters, have good character arcs (for now) and even though they are generally recognized as antagonists in this story, their personalities and pasts are still worth learning about. No matter what you might think about them, the fact that you are invested enough to learn more about these girls, and want to find out what would happen afterward makes them objectively well-written characters.

The story also hints at a main antagonist who hides behind the shadows and manipulate rumors regarding the MC, driving him away from the heroines to gain power as someone who stands on top of the school caste. The more we read, the clearer it is that the above statement is possible. I would like to see if my guesses are correct or not.

So far so good. Would recommend you giving it a try. The only thing I'd like to see is the MC developing some more character traits so that I would be more invested in him as a character instead of seeing him as a tool to drive the plot. <<less

Finished up to the raws, story really pull you in as you read till the latter part and among the 4 heroine so far, I would say only 1 of them is so literally so much scumbag than the childhood friend goddess mistake seem like a small issue but I still think none of them beside scumbag heroine even deserve to be with MC even after they justifying their action of why they did it especially when the reason of at least 2 of them was relatively dumb.

Spoiler

Shirase Mayuki is the absolute garbage heroine in this series, she intentionally chose to confess to MC knowing how mentally weak and heartbroken he was at that time just to exploit him to make her brother jealous and be aware of her more to fell in love with her '' the so call forbidden love'' after finding out her father got her engagement partner instantly dump MC in the worse way ever and even add on how she is only using him that's all. Now that MC is back into the area again, she intend to manipulate and exploit him yet again because she felt there's noting wrong with exploiting '' kind MC'' among all 4 heroine, she's the only that felt zero remorse for what she did and think what she did is just a small mistake.

Honestly, I was conflicted at first after seeing the reviews I thought the bad reviews were just bad judgement. But something is definitely wrong with the MC. He was belittled, bullied and whatnot but the problem is he speaks with the "bullies" without any prejudice which makes utterly no sense to me. He is in a position where he can't take revenge I can understand that but the problem is he still likes to meddle in their business by using bs excuses. At this point, I don't even feel bad... more>> that he was bullied. This type of idiots genuinely deserves to get bullied. I saw a comment on a chapter saying the MC was realist. Wow, what a realist he is (sarcasm). Realist my ass! His decisions aren't realistic at all. Many of you might be fooled into thinking the MC is a neutral realist which was what I was hoping for after reading his monologues but his actions contradict his thought. His hero boner is annoying. I have seen people forgive their bully but never in my life have I see a bullied guy help their bully wtf? <<less

It’s going fine right now really intriguing I want to know what happened but for now the way I see it is that when in middle school they tried to attract his attention to get him to like them but he misunderstood and thought they were making life hell for him which could be true this is my theory. Children are prone to make fun or mess with the one they like which is probably with those four goddesses did. But well see it’s really interesting right now I’m hoping... more>> that the MC doesn’t end up with one of the four goddesses. <<less

The biggest knock against it is no conclusion and hiatus. What we got it's fairly short, about 2 ln volumes. It's one of those teenage romance betrayed story the heroines are all conveniently color coded... It's funny how when we're in school we think these little social interactions are the entire world.

So the MC got a pretty rough deal from his color coded acquaintances, skipped town and came back and it's pretending he doesn't have a common past with them, they all have their unique circumstances and it all makes... more>> sense. Of course there's some unnecessary drama that could easily be solved by talking but it never feels too too forced.

Some preliminary info the rainbow goddesses in order of how messed up they are:

  • Red (childhood friend)
  • White (blitz gf)
  • Black (well meaning acquaintance)
  • Blue (former best friend)
Although it's a really nice read, not overly gloomy, I don't recommend you give this a go because it ends in a mild cliffhanger... Well I can imagine how it's going to go from now but I'd like to read it y'know. I'll file this under pending. <<less
