Initially came to make the dad joke "Hitoner? I hardly know her", but feel defeated by the "I truly became a furry" note a mandrill with a doctorate had to read.
I love how this series keeps illustrating how the march of time affects motives and drives. Yeah, you can keep focused on a single thing your entire life, but after 60 years, that's just one thing in a lifetime of experiences.
Mecha girl!
And on a side note, is Velveeta the only male in this story? I know they use "boku", but do others refer to them as kare, kanojo, or karera?
