As one who has traveled through the ancestral cradle of all Gals, the San Fernando Valley, I ask that the Gyaru Vanguard spare me once the Genki Triumvirate (of Gyaru, Tomboys, and Childhood Friends) finishes their conquest of Earth. :salute:
Listen, I was in Deshaan yesterday, and Almalexia and Vivec have been really quiet since this chapter dropped. :meguusmug:
Continuing my previous nerdy ponderings, it's not so much Sou's smile being out of the ordinary (to us) so much as this world has had some crazy evolutionary pressure put...
Going back and rereading the first chapters, rather than going "hurr, dumb tsundere", I feel bad for Rimu.
She already realized (back in chapter 2) that intellectually, she knows she can't keep Takeshi's power (and his hands) to herself, but emotionally, she hates it. With that first...
Yup, my first thought was "acute panic/anxiety attack", and hypoxia from too-shallow breathing/elevated heart rate does make a lot of sense for as far as a mechanism goes.

To paraphrase my favorite deconstruction of the "getting your boobs massaged makes them bigger" myth, "If a girl gets...
Fridge Horror realization: She didn't "recover" magically. She was in a drug addict-like hormonal withdrawal, and proximity to Sou gave her another kick of dopamine and serotonin, so of course she suddenly feels better.
The screwed-up natural selection of this world made her a neurochemical...
To continue a line of thought that @LordofLeechers had back in chapter 84. this is literally the "girls of this world are biologically wired differently" trope coming up in a new way.
Miku's inner monologue is not exaggerating: she likely got such a flood of hormones (dopamine, serotonin, and...
You are entirely onto something. If the gender disparity happened early on in human pre-history, then it's very likely that humans in the manga's universe naturally selected for it at a very early on.
In our world, humans lack a Jacobson's organ, the part of the nose in animals that reacts to...
I was thinking more "neutron star".
"What we see here is the remains of a fangirl who reached gachikoi status before her untimely passing."
"How can you tell? It just looks like the building collapsed around...something."
