There was truck-kun.
Of course delinquent-kuns may appear.
But fear not.
Superwoman is there!

Ehh as much as I like seeing her get all badass, this is just an odd tone for this usually cute, wholesome, lighthearted manga.

SO YOU HAVE CHOSEN DEATH.

If this manga took itself too seriously, Sakurako-san would use her family connections to get those fuckstick's parents fired. The parents would then take it out on their fuckstick kids, and next thing you know, those fucksticks are on "5 year tuna boat trips" to pay back the losses.

But thankfully, this is just a fluffy lily manga.

Great, another author uses attempted rape as a throwaway plot device for some cheap drama. I don't know how this trope caught on, but I'm seeing it more and more in almost every genre I read and it's pretty disappointing, to say the least.

So many close calls for Tadokoro, first I can remember was the damn truck.

That's because you've only read one "genre", the kind geared towards young teens where nuanced conflict was never the point. You've only ever read the manga equivalent of YA, and you don't want to put the effort to find the troves of more mature stories with diverse drama and insights only possible with complex characters undepictable in a story that is one step above a 4-koma. You know on the inside the solution was always to seek more mature stories, but here you are, on a sub-full-length doujin, pretending to criticize a story with buzzwords like 'plot device' and 'trope', when that is as silly as criticizing Garfield for character development. The reason you haven't done so is the same as the reason people in their twenties and thirties don't stop reading YA and shounen, ignoring that tickle in their mind as they wonder why this story written for teenagers isn't resonating anymore: you yourself haven't grown up. Because it's infinitely easier to talk down about 'plot device' and 'trope' on a manga where each chapter is like less than 10 pages long with 4 panels a page, than it is to confront the fact that expecting Dante's Divine Comedy out of a lesbian story without tribadism is another in the long line of excuses you use to avoid approaching fiction you'd actually have to think about.

Really wish this author didn't use rape as a throwaway plot device for some woefully inadequate drama that just fails to excite my sensibilities. I've seeing it everywhere in all the manga I read and in literally almost every genre. This arc has failed to impress me hmm yes.

Things I have learned from manga: Japan's streets are filled with gangs of rapists who immediately assault any woman not surrounded by a heavily-armed escort.

I've the weird feeling this manga she's gonna be making is gonna loop back to a manga about a cool girlfriend protecting a cute girlfriend

@Madcat6204 also there are some black guys (yeah, in the middle of a Tokyo), who are selling marijuana. You'd be surprised, but this happened to my friends in March, when they were in Tokyo. And this drugdiller was surprised that they didn't want some weed 😂
