Yancha Gal no Anjou-san - Ch. 200 - Anjou-san Wants to Go to the Planetarium

[foist]

In the author's defense, the only reason I picked up this manga and continue to read it is because I want to have sex with Anjou. He knows what he is doing and why.

Anjou's presentation in the manga is pure fantasy fan-service, but the characters' journey is remarkably chaste and innocent and wholesome. I respect the tightrope they've walked, and probably couldn't have done without such a twitchy nerdy dude as Seto in the love interest role. Any other human would have pounced by now

Hey, I've been to that science museum, that planetarium thing is really-really cool to see in person

It's kinda freaky to realize that everything we experience has a slight delay to it.

Light's fast enough it can go from one pole to the other in less time than it takes your eyes to send what they detect along the optical nerve then for your brain to figure out what's happening.

The whole "everything we perceive is delayed" convo is a fun discussion for sound which is super slow and we can detect the discrepancies (echo, lightning, …) but for light it's largely just an intelectual exercise. (untill you start looking at the stars)

Not just that, but there's also the delay from when the light hits your eye to when you actually process it in your brain.

Let alone all the weird stuff the brain does with time. Like for example, have you ever glanced at a clock, and it seemed like the second hand stayed still longer than it should have?

It took some time for your eyes to move, but you didn't really notice that. Your brain just pretended that your eyes moved instantly, and elongated the first thing you saw after your eyes stopped, i.e. the second hand, retroactively to fill the gap.

I mean it's also relevant on earth, in terms of communication systems, with long distances affecting latency in very meaningful ways. =)

Edit: Had to check that a bit, light takes about 67 ms to go from pole to pole, brains can respond to light stimuli in 13 ms in some conditions. I have reached about 170 ms average across 5 clicks on humanbenchmark.com, 140 ms fastest, a buddy clocked 110-120 ms consistently. That's also with display input lag (in my case around 8-10 ms), mouse input lag, and of course the brain not only registering the change, but also sending a command to the finger and the finger actually clicking the button.

I think they are both on the same order of magnitude. =)

This is not to dismis your point of anything, just got me thinking, hehe.

Seto seems to be enjoying that mega-sadist-glasses-man role way too fucking much. Anjou might be in a bit more trouble than we readers expected.

 

[Jackist]

He’s thinking like a black company worker already. Unlike Anjou, he’s hyper focussed on the future, but at the cost of the now.

My point was that for almost anything on earth speed-of-neurons-induced-latency is bigger than speed-of-light-induced-latency.

But obviously, they both add up. So when network latency gets added on top of our slow brain we cry and bitch about lag. Like the added 60 ms of ping was a gamebreaker, ignoring our brains taking over 100ms to go from perception to reaction in the best of cases. (And that's for reflex actions, if there's slightly unexpected stuff happening and a need for understanding you're more looking at one full second for reaction time)

But we never blame our brains.

Not gonna lie, that grin was definitely evil looking.

I NEED that panel without the speech bubbles for reaction images.

I amended my post a bit, and yeah, didn't mean to finish your point either! Made the same kind of argument in a comment before that myself. =)

for 99% of other rom coms, this is beautiful enough to be a final chapter, especially with that end panel

for this goated manga, this is just chapter 200, 85 chapters after the couple got together, with plenty of runway to go

Fun fact: The stars we see at night are within Milky Way Galaxy.

 

[Cordonblue]

That mega sadist glasses face might be the first time Seto has ever remotely teased Anna even inadvertently.

 

[Lex79]

Now I want to go to a planetarium

[Decordy_]

Artist trying to not abuse black ink level: impossible

 

[chojinra]

Yes, Seto! Use your existential crisis to embrace the need to plant your seed!



.... ahem. I mean, a very good and thought provoking chapter. I hope they spend more time on the date before studying.

 

[Sky_Ravager]

Thanks for the chapter

Well, in what comes to their shared memories, the delay would be because of the speed of sound as the planetarium narration reaches them from the speaker, not the speed of light.
That said, our brains don't work instantly, either, and the neural processes aren't purely electric (which would go at the speed of light), but also chemical - so processing data would amount for the vast majority of the time difference on that scale, especially minding that there seems to be wide variation in how people's minds are wired.

The Andromeda Galaxy is naked-eye visible

They're at a real location (pretty obvious by how precisely that exterior shot is drawn). You can look it up on Google Maps:

They've got space exhibits, dinosaur skeletons, all kindsa cool stuff.

It's also right in the middle of downtown Nagoya, which is IMO a pretty underrated spot to visit if you're ever in Japan. Lots of cool shopping and good food in the districts south and east of the big park there.
