Its kinda interesting to see how this story has evolved through the year, from the "normal" slice of life, rom com, living with the yokai GF.
To now, a full jjk-dandadan type battle shonen.
A year ago, this would have been what we would be getting as a main entry. Not a .5 chapter.
And I think its pretty cool for a story to on one hand, seemingly able to change its whole genre but still doesn't feel out of place for its story.

Tho strangely uppon re-reading the story. You can see that the shift starts all the way since chap 58 when Haru heals his legs. Since then we were introduced to a lot more supernatural elements and more lore about Taya. So in a way, this story has been a battle manga more than it has been a rom com

Taya knows she’s a giant spider woman and is heavy by human standards (over 400 pounds), she probably wouldn’t be upset about it.
That would be logical but I fear the lure of Standard Hetero Relationship Joke #3 is strong.

"Look, Gwen, you have to treat a car like you treat a woman."
pay attention to the noises she makes at all times, monitoring closely for the first signs of any sort of problem, then immediately seek guidance on how to best treat the problem ( e.g. if woman: ask "Do you just want to be heard, or should I also be brainstorming solutions?", if car, seek a mechanic's advice.)?

I kinda wonder if IRL, human-sized arthropods would be as heavy as Taya. Yeah, the exoskeleton would be heavy, if it were very thick, but iirc arachnids, insects, and crustaceans dont have internal skeletons, so that would make them lighter to offset the exoskeleton, right?

The thing about that is that it's not a coincidence bugs don't get that big in real life. The endoskeleton helps us not be crushed under our own weight and allows for breathing beyond the normal size limit of arthropods. So you're talking about hypothetical arthropods that defy physical laws. It renders just about any speculation equally plausible depending on the assumptions you make to make the premise work.

Taya isn't a pure arthropod, so I'm thinking she has an endoskeleton. Probably a big thick one to help with the big thick armor.

She's not fat - she's just big-boned. :smugnako:

WHAT DID I JUST READ?!
Welcome to the fascinating Noosphere. Do you want a 3 hours long interview with Carl Jung, a goat singing about mecha in Brazilian, or "Partido Cachaceiro Comunista - versão Evangelion"?

For more things that mindblowed me, I recommend Vivisectionary, Cyclonopedia, Antonio Gaudí's model of the Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família, Black Tokyo Legends - Races of the Tatakama, Invisible Cities (my favorite book of all time).
