So far (chap. 16) it's amusing, in a "shoujo manga" kind of way. The meta comedy/4th wall stuff is only partly working for me. I'm not as versed in the tropes as a fan of the love comedy genre would be. (I'm more comfortable with josei love comedies that aren't quite so broad.)

@Purpleguy It's one of those mysteries of life, like why 18th century gentlemen had to do the same with wigs and powder.

I don't know about "adult type Yuri", but it seems like closeness and skinship without the sex. Okay so I'm a dirty old married man, so my standards are off for teen behavior. Still seems relatively innocent for a lovey-dovey couple.

Ravished by a giant chambered nautilus--not even in the ocean. That was . . . unexpected.

Pretty damn funny. As a Yank, I'm missing some of the memes but it's still hilarious.

@loki266 The manga demographic tag comes from the target audience of the publication where it appears(ed). Artistic styles can vary within a target demographic, as can the silliness of the tropes. Just because most josei titles are more emotionally sophisticated than shoujo or shounen titles...

Masterpiece/mindfuck. I agree. Across the volumes there is a shift in underlying assumptions, from existential angst to mental illness and emotional burnout, which I find both realistic and kind of facile. It's facile because the intrinsic conflict with society is diffused that way. It's...

Why should ero-pee-san have an off switch? Admittedly it was a long time ago, but I don't recall off switches for ero-GFs IRL once their 'switch flipped'. About the only off switch was breaking up; even then . . . the knock on your door when you're feeling weak willed and lonely. =shame=...

"Now, you're either on the bus or off the bus. If you're on the bus, and you get left behind, then you'll find it again. If you're off the bus in the first place — then it won't make a damn." - Ken Kesey (via Tom Wolfe)

Time frame clues for chapter 0: The 5-yen coin with a hole started being minted in 1948. The glasses look early 1960's to me, but the tarot revival started late 1960 to 1970s (depending on the place). The fountain pen is just 20th century. That heavy barrel pen went in and out of style over...

I have a good friend who, back in college, was almost as fluffy as Carol. ? We tried going out a couple of times but I was kinda too wild and heedless for her. Flirted with other girls and didn't protect her feelings enough. She eventually married another long-haired freaky guy, who was...

Lots of poor quality scans in the early-mid volumes: Engrish, poor raws, sloppy cleaning, and amateurish typesetting. Makes it hard for me to read. (The typesetting and cleaning gets better with S.O.S.)

Trade paperbacks ftw! They don't yellow or fall apart as fast as mass market paperbacks, but they're not as heavy or expensive as hardbacks. Take less shelf space than hardbacks too. I really don't get this manga. Dance isn't one of things. Sort like ice hockey, it mostly consists of things...

My niece found out her "serious" boyfriend was cheating because she found a pink curling iron at his place, when looking for something in the bathroom. ? He'd managed to hide all the more obvious stuff. Of course, 6 months later and the other woman was pregnant. A few more months and the...

Such unpleasant personalities. Here I thought Cheese in the Trap had an abundance of stalkers, creeps, tools and gold-diggers. Doesn't anyone in mahnwa have self esteem grounded in internal virtues?

I don't get it. What's the problem?

Juiceboat sprung a leak and is in danger of causing severe ecological damage along the coast of northern Queensland.
