I still don't understand this story. Better than Iron Blooded Orphans so far, but that isn't saying much.... I really miss SEED and Wing or 8th MS Team.

I seriously thought Gundam stories got to the point quickly. Colony attack -> find Gundam ->attack enemy ->find next enemy. This feels like the middle of the first episode still.

Genuinely curious as to how you stumbled onto a slice-of-life spin off without ever hearing of the original 24 episode work (although in terms of Suletta getting the white jacket that was indeed about the first episode)

Generally don't watch anime (or tv) anymore. Too much downtime where I'm trying to find something to do (or really disappointed in the quality of the show), so I tend to read comics & novels where I can set my own pace. I scour search results for things I haven't read before, and that is how I found this spin-off without knowing of the other work.

Did know it was a spin-off, but not that it is supposed to be a slow slice of life. So, this is more like a crazy fleshed out 4-koma extras comic than an actual comic where things happen, with a focus between the major events of the main story.

Makes sense. Only a property as flush with money as Gundam could make something like this with this pacing and great art.

So this is how they're going to add snarky sister-in-law mode Eri to the series lol.

To be honest, I would have preferred a more realistic AU setting. The more mundane the setting, the more focus the author will need to put on the relationship. I feel like the story is going to shift towards a more sci-fi/sports focus now.

you could technically say he's doin it rn, only he's definitely getting paid way more than he was as Bob
I find it funny, because this is more or less what his father intended for him to do before he ran away, changed his name, and took the first minimum wage job he could get without any qualifications or references. And the only major difference is that he is far less likely to run into terrorists or commit accidental patricide this time around.

Yeah... When this manga started, I was happy, looking forward to see more focus on their relationship. That's what I want to see. I was hoping we'd be getting something more "explicit" than the anime. I don't mean NSFW, just them acknowledging it, showing it. The anime was in the end unfortunately a bit too hush-hush, thanks to executive meddling

But from what it looks like so far, they might just not do the relationship at all? I must admit, I don't care at all about the sports...
