    That's Teshigawara Hoshiko, "A girl who really wants tissues". She was first in chapter 43 (where Najimi had Komi and Tadano help with a part-time job handing out tissues), and later reappeared in chapter 174, where Nakanaka shot her with her umbrella.

    Emiya-san Chi no Kyou no Gohan - Ch. 9.2

    The funny thing is, it's exactly in character for Taiga to misspell "voila".

    Emiya-san Chi no Kyou no Gohan - Ch. 5

    Yeah, that any male members of the Matou family are still around instead of, say, having been tortured to death by rhinoceroses, is the one down side to the Hollow Ataraxia happy ending.

    Emiya-san Chi no Kyou no Gohan - Special #5: One Day With the King of Heroes

    Great stuff, though every time I see Fou I crack up laughing again at his identity reveal.

    Fate/hollow ataraxia - One Day! (Doujinshi)

    I purely love all these Hollow Ataraxia/Carnival Phantasm/Emiya-san Chi no Kyou no Gohan-style slice-of-life and/or wacky hijinks stories where the only people who died in the Holy Grail War were the asshole sadist priest and Caster's industrial-scale-child-murder summoner, and everybody else...

    Seitokai Yakuindomo - Vol. 14 Ch. 364

    If someone is bleeding profusely, particularly from an arterial wound (spurting, bright red blood), you should immediately apply direct pressure to that wound. People can bleed out and die very quickly, and ickiness and disease concerns _should_ take a back seat to saving a life. That said...

    Suzu in a box.

    It's probably important to remember that character popularity polls aren't represenative of the general public, or of the readers in general, but of the people who are so fond of their favorite characters that they're willing to overwhelm the voting mechanisms.

    Seitokai Yakuindomo - Ch. 556

    Once again, I am jealous of Suzu's dad.

    K-ON! Shuffle - Vol. 1 Ch. 13

    I kinda suspect the girl hiding outside in that last panel is the girl that quit the senpais' band, from the last chapter. Perhaps she'll come back, for a pair of trios?

    Seitokai Yakuindomo - Vol. 12 Ch. 316

    It's also a matter of how far in the relationship they'd gotten beforehand. I can't recall for Shino, but I'm pretty sure Uomi had inserted herself into the family before she started showing up at the Tsuda residence — and Takatoshi and Mori have only actually met a handful of times to this point.

    The delusions are great, but I gotta laugh at this school where one of the "normal guys" grouping is a goddamn ninja.

    I like how Agari and at least one other maid are both queuing for the "Slapped in the face" service. (It might actually be Kishi, the knight girl? She was in the "all the Ms in the class" grouping earlier. Which makes sense, in the whole Princess Knight archetype she presumably is.)

    Komi-san wa Komyushou Desu. - Vol. 3 Ch. 35 - Gloom

    More generally, classing it as a communication disorder rather than calling it out as social anxiety or something more specific points to one of the big themes of the manga — many, many people have difficulties communicating, for many different reasons, and they're all worth making the effort to...

    Heh... Page 7 has a wildly variable mood. If, like the author apparently intended, you take the second panel to contain all the conversation and schedule planning that wasn't spelled out, it's warm and sweet. If, however, you are me, you initially read it as "So you have a lot of free time...

    Like Agari (kinda) says, the benefit of a standing place to the restaurant is that they get quicker turnover, and can focus on cooking and serving food quickly instead of the usual division between kitchen and waitstaff. The benefit to the customer is you get quicker service, you get cheaper...

    Najimi has been angling for that childhood friend route since their first appearance, tbh.

    I personally love these slow chapters with Komi at her Komi-est. This one, or the chapter where she grew cherry tomatoes — they really tickle me in a way I can't express well. Wading into online arguments follows:

    Onii-chan Is Done For! - Vol. 4 Ch. 36 - Mahiro and a Surprise

    I think the thing is that being pseudo-ostracized was actually, well, triggering, in the clinical sense. Something (besides just being compared to an overachieving prodigy sister) turned him into the hikikomori we see at the start of the series — it wouldn't surprise me if his otaku status or...

    Flying Witch - Vol. 9 Ch. 53 - Mandrake evolution

    Mostly there's no such thing as a "traditional American last name". The US has no single language or ethnic group from which to apply names. So sure, to name an American you could use Smith or Jones, but you're not wrong to use Flores, DiMaggio, O'Connor, Andersen, Singh, Kim, or Kobayashi.
