@ParagonNight I don't care that much because I mean, I'm used to all kinds of nasty ideas in manga; you let a certain amount of crap slide or you don't read manga. This is no worse than the massive sexism or the unthinking acceptance of authoritarianism that crop up all the time. The mindset...

On that last panel note--I would figure you'd want to put the name of a bad song, not one of your favourites. I mean, he's dropping her into a trapdoor when he hears what the song is, presumably the joke is that everyone hates it.

Description: "My classmate, Tanaka-san is super scary... or is she?" Literally everyone who reads it: "No. She's cute AF."

What really puts the bizarre factor over the top for me is when I reflect that this is actually character-driven comedy. Like really, at this point she's just going "OK, what kind of things would those two say and do together?" and the results are . . . yeah.

You want to put your handprint on me? Do I get to pick where?

Why is this moron still there anyway? He been failing all his courses or something?

Reading Chinese stuff often makes me feel like I'm in a time warp back to the 1970s or so in terms of gender relations. This is one of those times--with my present-day glasses on, it looks uncomfortable and rapey. If I cast my mind back to how they wrote stuff in North America when I was...

@ibnat I don't think he is though? If he'd just handed the damn thing over or destroyed it instead of holding it over her head, this wouldn't have happened. Even if he wasn't stupid enough to use a crappy hiding place where someone could find it in a quick look-over, things would be OK. Of...

@l_____l Well, she suppressed the memories of what really happened. They're afraid she'd go nuts if she found out it was kind of her fault. That's kind of been the point for the whole story, except it used to be just Tenshi taking the blame so she, and everyone else, wouldn't blame herself...

"I was trying to be fair, but this proposition is the last straw. I am through with your runarounds and lies. I have a counteroffer: Get that damn necklace into this girl's hands within ten minutes and I won't have the police shut down your show for harbouring thieves and illegal gambling."

@justforthelulz My approach to old school ketchup bottles is, first you hold it on its side and smack it down into your hand a couple times. Only then try to pour it out, and keep the angle not too steep.

OK so, running counter to the obvious purpose of the whole gig, this could be a significant combat superpower. If you could manage to avoid touching anything, go totally left handed, wear a glove or what, and then the giant robot came to blow up the city . . . one touch and it's a beautiful...

@Ayajdbwmns If you aren't given a choice it's an order. She wasn't given a choice. Therefore, it's an order. QED. I am imagining how different the reaction to this guy would be if he was ugly but did exactly the same stuff. Suddenly instead of a ton of well-it's-not-that-bad, he'd be this...

"I don't know, I can imagine quite a bit."--Han Solo

Second half, cool. First half, WTF?!

@Mayukas You mean Umino Chica, of "Honey and Clover" and "3-Gatsu no Lion" fame, of whom we are not worthy? That Umino Chica? Hmmm . . . yeah, I can see similarities although again totally different storytelling.

@TheMoonlightRose That wasn't "natural". That was real, intentional, proper flirting. Wooo!

Kind of a good thing little Kotsume's speech impediment didn't act up on that last line. "They shaved me."

This is very nice. Sweet story, taking things back to the simple realities. And yes, the art is quite nice . . . sometimes the art, although thankfully not the storytelling, reminds me of Shimura Takako. I mean, I have a strange fondness for the way Shimura Takako tells stories . . . usually...

@kojiro481 Indeed. Your urbane perspective is much appreciated.
