    Division Chief Shima Kōsaku - Vol. 7 Ch. 77 - Leaving on a Jet Plane

    I find the whole discussion of giving her this big, regal air sort of funny seeing as Morning Musume (who was entering their peak at this time) AFAIK never got big on that but through catchy songwriting, being good entertainers and the power of kawaii. Definitely reflects an older generation...

    Division Chief Shima Kōsaku - Vol. 7 Ch. 75 - Someday My Price Will Come

    You know, it only just occured to me that this deal with Nancy is likely inspired by Hikaru Utada given that Utada would have been close in age, is from New York, and First Love had come out in 1999.

    Gyaru Maid to Akuyaku Reijou ~Ojou-sama no Happy End shika Katan!~ - Ch. 1 - I Met Your Smile

    I guess I don't see what everyone else sees. It's like we just got dropped into the middle act of an opening chapter and that opening chapter isn't even particularly interesting, just being generically cliche. Obviously not everything needs to be introduced right off the bat but maybe giving a...

    Suicide Girl - Vol. 10 Ch. 40 - Tomorrow

    Manga and half-assed non-endings, name a more iconic duo.

    SHY - Vol. 14 Ch. 115 - Entrance of the Extraordinary Baby

    It's said that her parents are gone a lot.

    Skip and Loafer - Vol. 10 Ch. 59 - Blazing Future, Pt. 2

    Basically she was fine living frivolously and carefree and being irresponsible. She never really needed to worry about the consequences of her actions but since it was always something for other people to deal with until now and she knew how to get along. But her actions do have cosequences and...

    Skip and Loafer - Vol. 10 Ch. 59 - Blazing Future, Pt. 2

    The worst stuff was when the it spent two volumes focusing on Shima's 'tism and moping though. This is more in line with what actually makes the series great.

    A-DO - Vol. 2 Ch. 13 - Where We’re Going

    At least on Amazon there's a print version listed as well.

    Hagino-san Wants to Quit the Wind Ensemble - Ch. 30 - So much for that strategic point.

    Compared to most of the characters, I'd say just being maybe a little open (and maybe tomboyish?) is pretty normal. Tsurumaki doesn't really have an odd quirk either.

    SHY - Vol. 13 Ch. 113 - A Loveable Name

    She never had a reason to. She knew that Shine was a hero and that she died and Teru likely never had reason to put more thought into it than that. She only just learned that there was more going on with Shine than she knew. Plus her sister's death was only a short time ago since she'd only...

    Division Chief Shima Kōsaku - Vol. 6 Ch. 72 - Busted

    They hit you over the head with it and the extras at the end outright said it when it showed Irene. I wonder if Bob died or something since Nancy has his last name still but she said that Irene raised her alone. He didn't come off as the kind of guy who'd abandon his kid. Still, definitely a...

    SHY - Vol. 13 Ch. 112 - Try Saying You Love Me

    Because they're brought back by Stigma as twisted versions of themselves with their darkness and self-loathing amplified. I'd think that Tzveta and Hollow and what happened to Iko at the beginning of the series should have made that obvious.

    Skip and Loafer - Vol. 10 Ch. 58 - Blazing Future

    Amazing how much better this is when Shima isn't hogging all the page time; the Mitsumi/Shima stuff is actually the thing I care about the least and is where the weakest writing is IMO. This is the stuff I actually like about the series and it's nice to get some stuff on Kazakami and the...

    Hagino-san Wants to Quit the Wind Ensemble - Ch. 27 - May the stars guide you.

    So far from this image we have Fujimura, Prez, Tsurumaki, and now Momiji.

    Usotsuki Satsuki wa Shi ga Mieru - Vol. 8 Ch. 77 - Landing

    You didn't notice the police siren sound effects on the page where Miho said that Seo's mistake was pissing her off?

    Usotsuki Satsuki wa Shi ga Mieru - Vol. 8 Ch. 77 - Landing

    If you could convert smug into energy then Miho would able to power half the United States.

    Hirayasumi - Ch. 58 - The Asagaya Tanabata Festival Incident! Pt. 1

    I think it's just playing off of the title of the previous Tanabata story which was also overly dramatic (Tanabata Festival Rebellion at Asagaya). But that story also ended with Hiroto and Yomogi breaking the ice which was a pretty major thing so maybe this Tanabata chapter will be another step...

    School Back - Vol. 2 Ch. 8 - The Type I Hate

    It sounds to me like you're falling for her bullshit. The first page of the flashback is her complaining that her husband got her daughter a present for Riho's birthday but couldn't get her anything while the husband is like "hey, sorry I forgot but I'll make it up to you by taking you out"...

    School Back - Vol. 2 Ch. 8 - The Type I Hate

    Outside of the actual criminals the mother has to be the shittiest person in the series so far. A complete narcissist who wants to be the center of everyone's attention and who wound up warping her own kid in the process.

    Division Chief Shima Kōsaku - Vol. 5 Ch. 49 - Good-Bye

    After all these volumes of people just skating by with transfers or demotions, it's nice to see one of them really get tossed on his ass. And it's nice to see Shima just be no BS for once and go right for the throat too.
