Why are they panicking so much? This is a rather cute bug.
I mean, I've seen much, much worse.
Is it the same effect that makes all girls in manga pretty?
When I was a kid, along with a sister, we had to go to the field where we had potatos every morning to collect/kill/remove the bugs that ate it's leaves. Those buggers:
Fun fact, you hands would get orangey from them and their eggs. Not the most pleasant but we were cheaper than insecticides. And we were actually available, compared to insecticides since we didn't have money for it.
Ah yes, thank you mangaka. Only the people with souls of steel can handle bugs, but the only people who have those have to be the bastards that run at you with the damn things, lmao.
