The reason this has over 1000 comments is because of two things put together: first, Nagatoro is a popular series. Second, this is chapter 69, and it's a meme to just say "nice" when you see something numbered 69.

69 is a number used to refer to a sex position due to the number looking like two people having mutual oral sex. Online, it has a reputation as "the sex number." People often joke about it by replying "nice" to posts that use the number 69 regardless of the context in which the number is used.

The earliest evidence of people participating in the sexual position was in France in the 1790s. Soon after the position became known, the term soixante-neuf (French for sixty-nine, hence the number) was given to it. The earliest known use appeared in Whore's Catechisms in France. The Kama Sutra refers to the position as "The Congress of a Crow."

The term began appearing in American pop culture in the mid-late 20th century. Notably, two pop songs, in particular, use the number to refer to the sex position. The first, "She Blew My Mind (69 Times)," was composed by R&B singer Rick James in 1982. The chorus of the song goes "She blew my mind 69 times," a reference to "blowing" being slang for oral sex and the number being a reference to the position. The other, more controversially, is Bryan Adams' "Summer of '69," composed in 1984 . While his co-writer, Jim Vallance, denies rumors that the song is a reference to the sex position, Adams explicitly states it is about the sex position in an interview cited by Uproxx.

In the 1989 comedy film Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, the titular characters choose "69," when asked to randomly pick a number that would prove their future-selves were truly them.

On December 8th, 2003, Urban Dictionary user starflier uploaded the popularly understood definition of the number, gaining over 20,600 upvotes in fourteen years.

Online, it is a popular practice to reply to every post with the number in it, regardless of context, with "nice." In June of 2017, The Daily Dot published an extensive history of the practice. According to the research, the words "69" and "nice" began to be commonly associated together in the summer of 2008.

The Daily Dot notes that the practice of saying "Nice" after 69 likely originates from an episode of South Park called "Miss Teacher Bangs a Boy" in which the cops respond to claims that a female teacher is having sex with a male toddler with, "Nice."

Popular early examples of "69" being associated with "Nice" came in 2009 with regards to sporting events. For example, during a football game, commentator Al Michaels mentioned how Vikings defender Jared Allen was harassing quarterback Kurt Warner by saying "Sooner or later, #69 will be in your face." Twitter user Playstub replied to the quote with "Nice".

In the following years, it would become practice to mass-reply to any tweet with the number in it, regardless of context, with nice. For example, when Barack Obama tweeted that 69% of Americans wanted hearings for his Supreme Court nominee pick Merrick Garland on May 13th, 2016, the primary response was "nice".

On February 13th, 2019, Donald Trump tweeted "The Gallup Poll just announced that 69% of our great citizens expect their finances to improve next year, a 16 year high. Nice!"

People quickly noticed that Trump had used both "69" and "nice" in the same tweet, leading to some stunned reactions as people wondered whether Trump had intentionally used the joke. Twitter user @SonOfGodandMan, a Jesus Christ parody account, called it Trump's "best tweet ever," gaining over 170 likes. User @itsjefftiedrich posted "oh god oh god oh god oh god oh god he didn't did he," gaining over 240 likes.

Others expressed dismay that the use of "69" and "nice" was likely unintentional and could have an unintended consequence of ruining the joke. Reporter Ashley Feinberg tweeted "folks i'm sorry, 69 is cancelled," gaining over 60 retweets and 740 likes in roughly half an hour. User @goldengateblond tweeted "farewell 69, you had a good run". The tweet and reactions were covered by indy100.
