The "widower" theory has a bit more weight now, huh? For those who didn't hear about the theory that Takeda has a deceased wife, there are basically two pieces of prior evidence. First, take a look at the chapters when Futaba is over at his place — there are a couple of photos on his headboard...

That she's a kissing drunk is pretty great — and that they threw Himawari at her in that condition is amazing.

Aww, poor Chika; she really hasn't had to think about this sort of thing yet. I would note that imitation is often the necessary first step towards finding your own voice, whether that be in acting, singing, drawing, writing, or any of the other creative endeavors: you copy others, and...

I love how abruptly this manga can pivot. From Marin's boobs as she works herself up for her first time, to her panic from overthinking things, to heartwarming conversation about movie nights with dad, to Gojou being traumatized by a visual novel's depiction of incest, rape, and cannibalism...

It may be exciting to be bullied by exotic and novel idols, but it's comforting to come home to be picked on by your friends. Poor Nao, she's such a chew toy. (I was thinking that these two were all the mainland European idols from the group — Chitose is quarter-Romanian, to play up the...

Y'know, we have only gotten that bare scrap of information about the Oomuro's mother, and yet it explains so much.

One of my favorite things about Hayate is how hard she's trying to be a traditional, by-the-books idol — and not only does her offbeat twin sister just get recruited in contrast to her own training and auditioning, but she's in with all the other loons of 346Pro.

It's nice to see that even though the standard Gekijou has ended, Arisu's fireworks gag lives on. (Episode 536, fwiw.)

I couldn't place Arisu's reference to "Kokuran-san" until I realized she was talking about Rika and Mary — Mary Cochran. Ah, the hazards of re-translating English that's been rendered as katakana.

Man, though, the story gave me flashbacks. For those unfamiliar, Powerball is a lottery available in many states in the US where the jackpot is in the millions of dollars; when you buy a ticket you can have the computer give you random numbers or pick out the numbers by hand. And years ago...

I'm not sure if what we got in the US (Zoobooks would seem to be the corresponding thing) is a better or worse deal. On the downside, the volumes were just magazine sized, but on the positive, it looks like they were the equivalent of $20-50 for their nine volumes a year. (Looks like there...

It certainly feels like that's the direction we're going; it'd be a very weird swerve for Mahiro to revert, even if lessons were learned. The obvious ending would, I suppose, be Mihari losing funding, or there being some unknown bad effect to the current formulation, or something similar that...

It's kinda more tiresome seeing the chorus of fetishism accusations each time it comes up than the content itself. Now, you can react however you want to what you see — and you are always the expert on your own experience of a work — but I feel like if it were a real fetish, you'd get more...

Ruki is the best friend, y'all.

Really, though, aside from the romance — and the punchline, which had me laughing for a solid minute — Gojou can hear "Are these guys your friends" and say "Yes"! I'm happy for him.

Must have laughed for a solid minute at the end of the chapter. But aside from the romance, and the romance fail, it's just really nice to see Gojou hanging out with the guys from the class! He has friends! He's come such a long way!

Nagi is a hoot. "Even if you defeat me, another me will appear! (Hey, sis, you have to show up here dressed like me right now.)"

It is nice seeing her able to compose herself, though. I probably shouldn't be rooting for Suetsugi and Arata as a relationship, but they do have a nice dynamic.

Sometimes the Gekijou is just shipping fuel, and that's okay.

Ah, yes, the crossover with Love Live Nijigasaki High School Idol Club.
