I think this is the first we've seen Mira's uncovered boobs, she's always wearing her leotard so it's hard to tell

Jesus christ, even in a non-isekai fantasy story the author had to work in onigiri and idol crap...
No way, the Japanese added Japanese culture into their comedic and basically pornographic Japanese Manga?!

Joking aside, I mean I do get it, I'm not big on idols either, but this whole series has been 100% not serious from the start so anything goes in this kind of series. I can understand the complaint if the idol stuff popped up in more serious and/or historical series though, but not in a "you can't leave this room until you have sex" series. It just seems silly to complain about it even if one dislikes the idol stuff since the idol industry has been a big part of Japanese and otaku culture for decades now. It's only natural the two interests might result in say, a manga referencing idol culture.

The complaint about onigiri is a bit funny though with the very Japanese ONI making onigiri... Also as a Filipino (so another rice-eating country) I gotta defend eating rice as a staple.

My issue is that it's not just this series, and not just the unserious ones. I'm only annoyed by it because it's so common and lazy. You go to all the trouble of making a very explicitly non-Japanese fantasy society and then just shove a bunch of incongruous Japanese cultural benchmarks into it out of either a sense of safety or being too lazy to actually figure out what would make sense.

Like you don't see a western writer make a very Japanese-styled culture in a story and then inexplicably have them eating spaghetti and playing accordions. Usually some concession is made to trying to keep the culture on brand even if it might be cliched or stereotypical.

The series is fine otherwise and I like the silliness, I've just seen this happen in so many series that it kinda takes me out of it a little bit each time it pops up.

I'm rooting for Mira to get with Ex at this point. They better be rocking the casbah before this thing ends or I'm gonna be upset.

I hope not either. Mira's body is too good for her to sit on the cuck chair until end of series when she fucks Ex for real.

Alas, it all boils down to an author adding what they want and/or know. If he wanted to add an idol siren because he likes idols, he's gonna add an idol siren.

Why, what's wrong with being common? Idols are a big part of Japanese pop-culture. Or let's say she's not an idol, and just a singer, would you still complain that its a common idea because "durhurhur, siren? Of course she sings!" since even a Western writer would usually write a siren that way too.

Yeah I'm sorry, but again, it's a sex comedy Japanese manga series. There should be zero expectations about realism or consistency with Western culture because you're in the wrong series to expect that much.

Lmao at bringing up western writers because I haven't really read or watched much western stuff because most of them are boring, garbage, and/or political nowadays. There's a reason manga and anime is the top in recent years. Most of them could benefit from being a bit more silly like manga.

Still, I do understand the frustration though since I have similar complaints to yours. If it's a setting where it's more Western-inspired, particularly if the series on the more serious side, I don't want to see characters:
  • Doing seiza
  • Doing dogeza
  • Eating rice and using chopsticks
  • Bowing like the Japanese
And as for tropes: seeing femboys, crossdressing, bro/siscon, or NTR (even if just as a joke) everywhere. 😅

I just roll my eyes and then move on if they show up. I've accepted that some of the Japanese authors might not realize nor care that these actions might be the norm for them, but not the rest of the world. Mind you, I haven't read that many serious Western-inspired manga/anime recently except maybe Frieren (which does lack the "Japanisms" IIRC).

I don't recall if there were any for Attack on Titan and Fullmetal Alchemist since I haven't watched nor read them in years. Both are very German-inspired.
