I'm not quite understand this grammar.
> I'm sold
Who sold her? Shouldn't it support to be:
> I'll sell it/ I sell it

@RecycledCabbage
That is very cool Kirara avatar, where did you get it?

@yurirei: "I'm sold" is a slang term that means something along the lines of "you've convinced me." Basically Kiwi is saying that, even though she didn't come there to start a fight, they've convinced her to go ahead and have one anyway.

@Karsh might I recommend Mighty Heart and Part Time Job is "Evil Organization"?! Then, since those both have a similar feel, though the second is considerably less lewd. As far as the not comedy villain is protagonist stuff, a lot of it feels too edgy for me.

Two big developments this chapter. First, Tres Magia is seriously starting to come apart at the seams. Azul is pretty much full sub at this point and useless in battle, the battle maniac is looking to be on the verge of blowing her good girl kayfabe, and the bubbly one has no damn clue unless she's going to have a dark side reveal later.

Second, the ability to make magical girl clones from the figures is fodder for some excellent schemes, lewd and otherwise. There might just be some Azul selfcest in the near future.

@yurirel
ill answer once, in case you are serious
i'mm sold is the right term. it means you are convinced, that your opinion has been overtaken.

 

[Werebearguy]

This will never be dull. It's just so good.

 

[yurirei]

@Madcat6204 , @neorasp
Thanks for the explanation. But I remember there is a similar to this one "buy it/ don't buy it" which also convincing too. So what is differences between those? And why "buy it" can use as active but "(be) sold" is used as passive?

 

[Ari_yo]

@Sukoyan Considering that the transformation didn't last too much it's not gonna help

@yurirei Probably same as me, english is not your main language, for this slang "buy it/ don't buy it" is convincing too, but with a third person involved saying that (or the inner thoughts of the person who wants to convince).

"This manga has yuri" -> i'm sold (kind of you own my attention)
"Of course, the way to the library is through this unsuspiciously dark passage" -> (please buy it you fool)

@yurirei

There's several variants, some of which means the same thing, most of which depends on tense.

They are (not) buying it = I agree or disagree with the idea being presented right now.

They bought it = Their previous beliefs have changed to them agreeing with the idea.

They didn't buy it = Their previous beliefs did not change.

They are sold on the idea = Same as "They bought it"

We sold this idea to them = Same as "They bought it"

English is weird, and has lots of different idioms and phrasings that all mean the same thing.

"The forces of evil's person laughing and having a nosebleed while fighting"
lol I wanna read the replies to that tweet. Wonder if Baiser has a fanbase in-universe.

 

[tea-sea]

Utena should just take Kiwi-chan up on her offer.

> English is weird, and has lots of different idioms and phrasings that all mean the same thing.
Well, every languages is weird if we consider this fact. I take the weirdness of all kind of languages. I just wanna learn more. And thanks, it's pretty clear comparison.

@Ari_yo
Thanks So this involves to the person point of view. But if I make mistake of it, we still can get it right. I'm not really good with the person pov, and I still not fully understand your examples.

@thereIwasnt
@yurirei
they mean roughly the same thing, but there's some subtle difference
"they bought it" tends to imply there was some trick/deception, "he didn't buy my shitty excuse for getting out of work"
"they are sold" means they're convinced without any implication of dishonesty, "the investors are sold on my new business proposal"

"i'm sold" would mean simply "i'm convinced", though you can't really say "i'm bought" in this way.

 

[Glomoro]

@orochijes If we consider ourselves parallels of mob characters in their universe, there's no way she has zero fans so far. Also, she runs around in pasties instead of a top and puts the magical girls in compromising, sexually charged positions. She might end up even more popular than the magical girls.

For what I know, the buy expression is tipically used to describe the believing/disbelieving of false information, while the sold expression describe the agreement/disagreement to do something.
If I have to take a guess, I'll say those expressions came from the used cars dealer world...

Oh mine, the answer of the day. Thanks a bunch. Btw, why do you think it came from the cars dealer world?

 

[DreamCarver]

We shibari now and I'm on board.

 

[SatchmoOmega]

I'm thinking Azul is the best match for our heroine.

 

[Pachka84]

This is just retarded and bland.
What's funny is that the mangaka actually thinks this is comedy

 

[Myllari123]

This manga is wonderful.
Utena feels a little bit like Kuroki.
