Not going to blame anyone for thinking my perspective is nuts, but… whew. This was a huge relief, though possibly still premature.
I had steeled myself for possibly 1-4 chapters of Mommy Dearest making her life hell, maybe even trafficking her and/or torturing her, before we got back to her...
"How dare you complain about Something I Like! You big complainy complainer!"
Fails to see that complaining about complaining is still complaining. And even more overused than the trope in question.
Dear mangakas: We're really freakin' tired of "I was impoverished and treated like trash and meat by amoral scum", as a reason that some character is the real pathologically depraved villain who needs to be taken down for the protection of us all.
Back in reality, we have very real wealthy...
Thank you, I have no idea why I didn't pick up on it myself. Though maybe I'm a little grateful… the "translation" may have helped by letting my brain process it by pretending "This isn't real".
I know it's silly to complain about anything in this manga being far-fetched, but how the devil does the manager (who presumably doesn't know her tail is supernatural) decide that his machine breaking is the fault of the customer? (0_o)
Hoping so hard for this. There's no way Yotsuha can go through Elfen Lied, and be able to put on a happy act that would fool anyone with a higher IQ than creamed corn.
Its funny, reading both this and Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You… I love both, but CSF is a lot more believable for how an offhand convenient lie can never get corrected (even though it becomes increasingly unsustainable). And does a much better job of turning it into funny adorable...
I still think they're setting up the lady who wants Fran to call her Mom to come back and save the day, myself.
Probably going to reveal her new set of skills that all start with "Loli Is Justice", beginning with Loli Is Justice Barrier Breaker!. :sneaky:
