Tengoku Daimakyou - Vol. 12 Ch. 68 - Monster

[SuperOniichan]

Well your original comment seemed to be implying that it was something unique to Japanese media. Which I am arguing that it isn't.

Have you seen this in the media of other countries? Well, except for cases where the male character is really very developed and attractive, which objectively attracted the female characters.

It's not alive at all actually.

Anyway, really fun chapter. Kiruko was really shocked seeing that child as part of the experiment. Throwing up in shock is a reasonable response. I wouldn't consider that a weakness. That's just human. Also, are we getting closer to Kiruko's feeling for Maru? They're at least continuing to deal with this transition. Can't be easy. That robot knows what's up though.

remember, that Robot they are travelling with is in a way not so different from the murderous robot with the child's head, she is Nata, one of the children from the original Takahara Academi, her mind was transfered to the teacher robot somehow, we don't know the details yet and I am really interested in how that'll be brought up and when.

One month breaks feel like an eternity, glad we're back again. Once again Kiruko continues to deny she's falling for Maru, and Maru is either oblivious or is purposely trying to ignore/avoid it until she's the one to make the first move

There's also the chance that Maru really believes they're already boyfriend and girlfriend.

That would be in character for him lol

 

[Sheoldread]

Yes, Robot-san, it's love, LOOOOVE!!!
This "Murder Robot" may not think itself evil but plenty of psychopath/antisocial disorder murderers also don't think of themselves as evil.
They're evil not because of their conscience but because of what they do, which is murder people. And, yes, that thing was quite disturbing.

Yes, I have seen that kind of stuff in plenty of media from non-Japanese countries. Someone getting embarrassed and flustered at another person undressing because they think said person is coming on to them isn't an unusual sight in many works of fiction in general.

I'm not talking about misunderstandings. I'm talking about when a man simply undressed, forgetting that there was a woman nearby and she was extremely embarrassed.

 

[Aleacion]

Why doesn't anyone talk about the child's head on a robot that kills people? Nobody else? This is advanced Lore... Nobody?

wondering the same

 

[Lunkli]

I really hope that she's not feeling weaker because she's caught the same Tarao Disease that Sachio seems to have caught.

This isn't a instance of that though, this is a case where one character thinks another character is coming on to them.


And regardless women simply getting flustered by a man getting undressed and shirtless isn't particularly unique to Japanese media either.

Why would they? Kiruko is a normal human, they aren't a Hiruko-human.

We are talking about any man, not attractive athletes

Bro dropped the quest. Too hard.

 

[cromat]

Do we know who robo kid is? Seems weird that someone managed to do this since it seems most ppl in the new world are mostly technological illiterate except for dead doc, shiro and Robin

Given the cruelty needed as well I'm guessing robin did it

 

[BigGuyForUUUU2012]

No, Kiruko is not pregnant, Ishiguro literally confirmed on his Twitter that Kiruko had their period when they left the Ministry of Reconstruction in Nara with his own in-universe calendar.

I don't think being Japanese has anything to do with a senior citizen (who already acted like a chūnibyō) who's brain got transplanted to a younger body that's now going through puberty, being shocked/embarrassed when she assumes one of the youths (who is old enough to be her grandchild) is coming on to her.

also its been months since that happen, kiruko would've shown signs a long time ago
its just shitposters doing their thing

Yes, media having female characters get characters flustered by undressing topless male characters isn't uniquely Japanese.

While yes it's shitposters/trolls doing their shtick, the whole story-line with Maru and Kiruko has actually only been about a month and a half so far. The first chapters began at the start of October, and we're currently in the middle of November.

WHAT you mention refers to women reacting to handsome men, not just anyone like in Japan media. Just give me an example of this in non-Japanese media, for example?

I did not specify that the men had to be handsome though. And female characters in Japanese media who react flustered to men undressing and getting shirtless are usually doing so because there's typically an element of attraction involved between the characters (regardless of how handsome the characters are), like I can't really think of any instance of Japanese media where the flustered character isn't implied to be attracted.

I'm pretty sure that this would happen in indian or any muslim country media for instance, probably also in south-east Asia.
Many cultures are quite prude.

I'll accept my award now.

Authors gonna Kansas reverse you next chapter by having this chapter as the fakeout
