Monster Musume no Iru Nichijou - Ch. 83

[Zen44]

Gotta love everyone's reaction to learning about the sphinx being a shotacon

 

[Blackstone]

I hope she doesn't eat the kids and the kids won't feast on her

 

[Nyaaa]

It's funny. She's a pedophile in universe (probably since she's so horny for boys. She should get arrested). But shotacon from our eyes as the reader.

 

[radstylix]

I thought he was gonna be aged down with some magic or something...

This is way way worse.

Ma dude, you've read the chapters that come after what the anime showed right? You know the reason why.

Spoiler: For those that need reminding

The anime was already incredibly risque when it aired with all the sexual references they had. When I first watched them, I didn't get it, but now that I'm an adult and have gained... some rather cultured knowledge, I'm surprised that the anime got an English dub, let alone aired in the first place. But the chapters that came after was on the knife's edge of being softcore porn in some cases. Remember when Kuruzu went to Miia's home and basically got tossed into a literal snake-pit of naked, virgin lamias with nothing but the world's sturdiest chasity belt? By God, that was a lot of tits for something that ain't hentai.

I had enough of the yuri farm arc lol. But there's a bit of a revival of borderline hentai anime right now, so I was hoping for some attention.

 

[Solipsist]

Right this way, officer...
Literally grooming them.

 

[MontDilanus1343]

Literally grooming them.

She's a BIG MUMMY MILKERS cat.
What else do they do to kittens?

PS: Also surprised at the lack of "feet first into a wood chipper" comments.
You know if genders were reversed that is exactly what would happen.
Personally, I understand cultural norms waver with time, so don't like extremism of any form.
(Even now, women exposing one's ankles was (is?) a capital offense in some places.)

At the same time, what came to be called Japan’s “bubble economy” of the 1980s, which typified an era that combined easy credit with unbridled speculation and eventually drove Japanese equity and real estate markets to astronomical price levels, burst. In 1992–93 this ushered in a deep recession, the severity of which postponed many of the earlier reform plans, further undercut Japanese consumer confidence, and inevitably exacerbated trade tensions. Japan’s merchandise trade surplus with the world, however, continued to spiral up. Those export surpluses finally produced a rapid appreciation of the yen against the dollar in the mid-1990s. Contrary to American expectations, however, this had only marginal effects on the trade balance. At the same time, the stronger Japanese currency allowed Japanese firms and individuals to invest heavily abroad by buying foreign assets (notably real estate) at bargain prices.

Ikkyū is one of the most significant (and eccentric) figures in Zen history. To Japanese children, he is a folk hero, mischievous and always outsmarting his teachers and the shōgun. In addition to passed down oral stories, this is due to the very popular animated TV series Ikkyū-san.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ikkyū#Legacy

Which is pretty much said in the chapter.

In Rinzai Zen tradition, he is both heretic and saint. He was among the few Zen priests who addressed the subject of sexuality from a religious context, and he stood out for arguing that enlightenment was deepened by partaking in love and sex, including lovers, prostitutes and monastic homosexuality. He believed that sex was part of the human nature, and therefore purer than hypocritical organizations and worldly pursuits. At the same time, he warned Zen against its own bureaucratic politicizing.

Maybe she combined the two?

More recently, Ikkyū’s position in popular culture was cemented by the animated TV series Ikkyū-san (produced by Tōei Animation), based on the abovementioned stories. The program’s 296 episodes, which originally aired between 1975 and 1982, portray Ikkyū as a cute and clever young acolyte who uses his wit to solve problems large and small, outsmarting even the shōgun. The creators of the anime skillfully incorporated trademark gestures along with well-known aspects of Zen culture. Ikkyū’s Zen meditation is accompanied by the sound of a wooden temple block (mokugyo, or wooden fish), while the chime of a meditation bell announces his flash of insight. The scenes in which he pines for his mother, from whom he had been separated, add a compellingly sentimental touch.

Repeats of Ikkyū-san continued to be aired for years, and the fan base expanded intergenerationally. The series was also broadcast in China, where it was such a hit that schoolchildren vied with one another to memorize the program’s Japanese theme song. Ikkyū-san also attracted a big following in Thailand and even in Iran. The popular image of the Ikkyū that prevails in Japan and elsewhere today owes much to this animated series.

Not surprisingly, however, the adorable young scamp portrayed in the TV series has little in common with the historical Ikkyū. [Emphasis mine] A complete biography of Ikkyū, who lived to be 88 (an astonishing feat of longevity for that period in history), is far beyond the scope of this article. However, with the help of a few select episodes, I hope to sketch a more authentic picture of this influential figure than that found in pop culture.

Which, again, as the chapter said, that was fiction.

 

[aaklid]

...was the "hard" riddle actually that hard? It didn't seem that tricky.

 

[Labucay_san]

Didn't know it was a SSphinx

 

[jackjack9]

I want to try solving Abul's riddles.

 

[Werebearguy]

Is it bad that I would've preferred this just be an entire arc of them playing budget Yu-Gi-Oh instead? Because a whole parody with nothing but busty monster girls would be quite a bit more stimula- I mean exciting. Abul was a fun character though, clear pedophelic tendencies aside.

 

[Jordygo]

Well that went downhill real fucking fast

You have a point, but they still animated Space Dandy including a monster literally made of naked tits. As long as they air it in the late night time slots broadcast anime can get away with levels of lewd that would blow your mind.

 

[Jackist]

Honestly this sphinx character concept could be its own series. The gyaru design is pretty top tier

 

[alacaelum]

In line with her feline half... she is a cougar.

Good for Rachne's friend that she and her boyfriend are switch, it is good to trust your partner to play another role.

Sekmeti got cheated out of that win, the poor girl. Magic Tube targets and Chaos X is immune to targeting

 

[Morose]

Gotta love everyone's reaction to learning about the sphinx being a shotacon

We already had a Shotacon Arachne during the Hot Spring Dating Arc.

Guess, even Shota's get to bang before MC does it.
