@Kogata Yeah. Kinda ironic, as I'm reading this on my laptop sitting at the dining room table at my sister & sister-in-law's house. This being Washington State, yes, that's the legal relationship.

There is a lot of concern these days about teacher/student relationships outside of normal school activities, with some justification. There are indeed predators out there, both among the teachers and the students. That said, there have been a great many teacher/student interrelations outside...

Even though she thinks of playing with people, she doesn't really seem malicious. Given what her ability is, misdirection seems necessary to ensure people are comfortable around her. If she were a loner, things would be different. She's very smart.

This is an interesting selection of stories that you are working on. I keep thinking, "I haven't quite decided what I think of this one," meanwhile I've kept reading it... unlike others where I'm all, "Yes, I like this one," yet have fallen way behind what's posted. And a small enough number...

@kronix Just one more chapter; indeed, more plot development, more forward movement of story, more... action... than many that run much longer. He's a manipulative bastard, all right. Based upon her reactions, there are other things he appears to be good at manipulating. After all of his...

@AMetroid Interesting! A bit of information I didn't have. Context is, indeed, everything. I hadn't considered that what we refer to as chestnuts here in the US differ from the species elsewhere in the world. Which is really dumb on my part, as I know that they differ from the English...

Pages 17-19: Perfection. I really liked how his first thought was the screentone match, that he was so focused on removing splotches of screentone that he didn't initially realize what he was actually seeing/doing. His comment on page 19 was deserving of death.

Well. I guess she does have something going for her after all. She realized that she couldn't let the adults know what was happening, for fear that they'd do something that would endanger the townsfolk. Realizing that it was her fault, she choose to risk herself to do what was needed...

Page 19, third row, left panel: "I do not understand it. Raising geniuses as normal people is sheer stupidity." Excuse me?!?! If you don't, to at least a certain extent, they won't be able to interact well with others! And, the more you understand the world in general, the better you are...

Page 10. For those of use who are poor at rote memorization, what's needed is to show how it is used in the real world. Make it practical. Make it relevant. And, if possible, make it fun. Because, then it isn't just memorizing by rote, there's a reason to know it. It's useful. You can do...

Maybe shallow, maybe not. But she can still tell a fake from reality. She knew there was no way that was her sister. She doesn't want an illusion, a semblance, a replica, she wants her real sister back.

Well, I can see why it might not be to the translator's taste. But at a certain level it was humorous. As a running gag, however, it might get tedious. Dunno. Unless someone else picks it up, we'll never know.

Well, from a morals committee perspective it certainly looked suspicious. But it would be better if she just broke down and joined to learn to cook.

Old Man got pretty intense concerning this. ++++ Betcha the big talkers in this country say things like, "I'm one and a half Maderaka long...."

@cherokeemoon His father has made Rudy's life difficult in many ways. The reaction of everyone in the capital when they find out who his father is, it's clear that he was a major womanizer from word one, and they always assume that Rudy will take after him. This has not been good for his...

In regard to the childhood friend, I was corrct in how genre savvy she is. It's still up in the air what her true agenda is. The possibility is still there that she sees it as a wonderful chance to play games; she clearly sees Ms. Yuri as a target of opportunity. And playing mind games on...

In this case the questions arise: Is she interested in her childhood friend in a romantic fashion and he doesn't know it? Is she sincere in offering to help bolix the marriage out of the goodness of her heart, or to further her own plans (ie, the first question was answered in the...

Well played, oh very well played! Walking in and finding an unknown woman in a towel just as you start to think that maybe, just maybe, he might not be such a bad match after all. The author truly understands how these things are supposed to go. He's having lots of fun with this.

Actually, at a certain level, it was a success; they've become aware that they have nothing against each other, just against their grandfathers' interference. At a certain level, they actually like each other now. That's a major step forward, yes? And as a result of Ms. Yuri's plan, yes...

Oblivious grandfathers! Oblivious consultant! It did so produce results! He's very impressed by what she knows concerning the family company, that she is that concerned for those who work there to know so much about all of them, including recognizing them on first sight. And interacting...
