Yutaka is obviously very conscious of Tsumiki at this point, but I wonder if she's conscious of him. We're so used to manga/anime spelling these things out super hard with blushing that 'subtle' attraction is often completely non-existent. It's either there or not there. Tho this is also a bit...

That turn-around was way too swift :/ makes the brother introduction feel like a one-off dramatic moment rather than an actually important part of the story. I don't like when these things drag either, but the brother went from absolutely hating his guts to 'fine, I'll apologize ' in an instant...

You know, this is something I've noticed over the years when it comes to JP media. They often like to 'play around' with subverting expectations but then far too often make a 180 either at the last minute when its finally time to commit or run away, or just only subvert for one chapter/episode...

Cosplaying Kyou mo Veranda de, are we? Kinda fitting since that one is also all about edging the audience. Though nowhere near to the absurdity of this one. There's also that new manga about a bunch of train passengers who are commenting on a youth romance between two teens who are scared to...

We lacked chemistry so never ended up dating. But did become very close friends. I meet her as a top priority for a full day every single time I come back to my home country, teasing her about whether she is pregnant yet, while she teases me on whether I found a partner abroad yet. This is now...

Back in middle school, I had a huge crush on a girl, ended up getting her contact details from a mutual friend and started chatting online. We hit it off immediately, but she didn't even know what I looked like yet, also that I was still crazy awkward back then. So a few days passed and I saw...

Really enjoy seeing how mature Yutaka is when it comes to these sorts of situations. He's a flawed character, as all good characters should be, since it leaves room for growth, but his flaw is so inward that from the outside perspective, especially in the ways he interacts with people, he shows...

I love how in these sorts of forum arguments someone writes something like this and then you scroll down and see another full page of comment exchanges. Random 2nd opinion from a side reader with popcorn: Iskarioth knows how to argue properly but is completely missing the forest for the trees...

Oh I'm aware it's been like this for a while, but it had toned down a bit for the last few chapters. Was mostly tongue-cheek comment. The 16 year old point is just my hyperbolic example. We're all aware, I think, of how much of a shitfest it has become with young males lacking role models and...

I never said it was full-blown depiction of grooming. I said it has pedophilic vibes, given how the artist is framing it by highlighting that she's very cute and he likes her and such. It's not so much about the actual plot here, but just the presentation of it that really doesn't pass 'the vibe...

So I went to the comment section because TLs notes at the end ruffled my feathers and of course it has devolved into an absolute toxic wasteland over here. Won't engage, but I really want to give my two cents, even if the TL probably won't read it: The only line I take issue with is 'he's a...

Wait, she can see his fantasies as well? Oh boy, that won't go well once he starts having lewd thoughts...

Tsumiki noticing Yutaka being troubled and gracefully bringing it up is some of the most keeper material ever. That sort of stuff is at the very essence of partnership. It's also interesting that the author doesn't really draw her as blushing, when for instance after Yutaka wipes her face...

~~Can we just go back to exploring fetishes?~~ Oh wait, NTR is a form of fetish too... Wait... Getting raped by your teacher is kind of a fetish too to some... nvm, guys, this manga is actually entirely consistent. It's just that the fetishes have become increasingly more elaborate :) The...

Where did I mention that it's promoting anything? My central point is that the story is bringing too much attention to two facts: a.) that she's cute, b.) that he's not touching her, despite finding her cute. Normally (ok, normally in the west), to tell a story like this, the author shouldn't...
