Tezuka works are always wild, and it is hilarious how modern remakes have to give them a coherent story structure that his works just seem to reject. From an old review of Unico: "Then you get into the stories themselves, and Tezuka, being Tezuka, cannot stop having ideas. Weird ideas...

Important to note that there are only 4 chapters left (don't think it was necessarily the axe; the whole series is a speed run considering they were kissing by Chapter 2.)

I cannot WAIT for him to somehow interpret her blushing and asking if he would consider her as a romantic partner as her concerned that he's overstepping boundaries and making her uncomfortable in their working relationship and not the most blatant "check yes or no" come-on.

It doesn't appear to be attached to the room if you have to grab an "occupied" hanger for personal use; that said, doesn't explain why the sisters are in there since he clearly would not be the type to forget to hang the sign. I guess they may have seen him going in and have no care for his privacy?

Was curious enough to check the Indonesian scans for the next two chapters and I will just say them going on a couple's retreat to a hot spring has predictable results and leave it to you if that is a positive or negative development (let's just say my opinions are mixed.)

Is that better or worse than just doing a Jurassic Bark ending? Friends offer to tell him the dog is alive, he finds that is sufficient closure and doesn't want to confuse the dog coming back into his life, final pages are showing the dog misses him.

Surprised nobody called out the reversal of him giving her a Valentine's Day gift so she gives him a White Day gift when the general gender dynamics are reversed.

I mean, this is the only really comfortable framework: "girl who had a precocious crush on high schooler when she was in elementary school moves in with him for Reasons™ when she is in high school and he is a college graduate erotica artist" really gives the ick if he's seeing her as a sexual...

Luckily your Isekai package comes with Big Jim Slade if you can't perform.

Literally "rejected a public confession from her" seems like a poor place to launch a "he is secretly madly in love with me" feint, but have seen more overwrought plots. Never going to go there, but there is a universe where "he makes a move encouraged by classmates at the EXACT same time she...

Honestly, Kurokawa seems to have shades of Medaka Kurokami to her: "if I can do it, anyone can do it!" proceeds to do peak human things with ease

I am curious if his position in the first couple pages of chapter 1 (that putting up his own emotional barriers makes him incredibly skilled at sniffing out deceit) is accurate or if we eventually see he is completely delusional about everyone else in his life like (early) Watamote. Like a...

I mean as an audience we know that it's more like a 5 year gap between MC (first year/grade 10) and FMC (college freshman with 2 gap years) which is supposed to make her saying 6 years would be an issue comment stand out. Of course, the gag is that he passes for older and she passes for...

He didn't get a promise from her not to go easy on him, so she's going to intentionally sandbag one of the tests in his best subject only for her to need to take a remedial class in that course as a result and they have a "he won the bet and theoretically the sweetener but he rejects it because...
