Could someone explain why did the car dealer damage customers’ cars?

If i recall correctly, this is referring when someone wanted to sell their vehicle at a used car shop dealer. The procedure is usually they sent they car to the used car dealer for inspection and giving a quotation of the price the dealer willing to buy in the used vehicle, based on how well the inspection goes.

A certain huge used car dealer in Japan were revealed before that they tried to lower the offer price to buy in the used vehicle, by doing as much damage on the car as possible during inspection of the car.

Also, when an customer send in the used vehicle they purchased from the dealer for maintenance, they would also purposefully make more damage on the car during maintenance, so that the final fee of the maintenance will be higher.

The reason why the staffs resorted to damaging the cars during inspection/maintenance is because that the HQ of the used car dealer have set a minimum quota of sales to reach, so they resorted to destroying the cars just to boost their income number to meet the quota.

So that's from where the Death Penalty meme comes from.

Shouldn't at least the youtube videos have credits about who write the lyrics in the description? Also why most assume Kita when she clearly doesn't look like the brightest of them? If anyone, most people would assume Ryo.

I'm so glad Kita for the first time finally confirmed she doesn't think Ryo is dependable anymore. We know she switched to Bocchi a while ago, but it's good to finally see her not acting like a simp for Ryo anymore.

Ohtsuki is also driving alone in her van.

genuine question: should the bocchitherock manga transition to a wider 4-koma?

the images are so small while the speech bubbles are getting bigger.

 

[Lunkli]

Man, I sure do love boochitherock! kessokuband.

She directly admiting this back in the first volumes of manga. And even so, she still regrets that Ryo is not with them. So no matter what the status quo is, it is still here.

Iirc, Kita wrote the lyrics for a grand total of one song. And I'd imagine since she's way more vocal about this (mainly because Bocchi can barely communicate), people probably assume the same applies to all of their songs.
As for the credits part, you'd probably just put your band there. (From my experience), if contributions are credited separately, that's usually the case for collaborations / "third party" contributions. You're not going to state each band members' role every time. And at the same time, they're not big enough for them to be common knowledge which gives rise to assumptions...

Although it has been known for some time, it is good to see the author confirm that Kita is no longer a simp of Ryou, to the point of distrusting her and that now her attention is focused on Bocchi mostly.

Lol, what are you talking about? Kita confirmed that she was disappointed in her fantasies about Ryo in the first volumes already. Ship you her with Bocchi or not, she has long admitted that the belief in Ryo's ideal image was erroneous. In particular, when they went to Bocchi's home for the first time or when Nijika told her how terrible Ryo is with money. She even joked that she would be forced to ignore this so as not to be completely disappointed in Ryo.

As far as I remember, they always revealed the authors of the lyrics and music either through story (if the song plays an important role in the plot), or through additional information in the media. For example, I remember exactly how some of the video directly mentioned the authorship of Kita or Bocchi.

It seems the author is leaning into full comedy while advancing the story to avoid big character changes.

I'm not hoping a seinen but at least a bit more introspection into the girls.
