[goro-goro]

Nah. His future self after knowing his past self got into this harem shenanigans while he has to deal with a war.

i played this game called labyrinth of refrain that has that has similar plot ideas about sending someome to past for fixing thing but

Spoiler

changing the past just makes the past and present a paralel world(?), so in the game mc's soul was sent to the past to prevent disaster, and you did it horay and then sent back to the present day, the person who sent you are very happy about it for saving the past but it didnt change the future then asking mc to save the present since we have the experience about how to deal with the disaster

I actually wondered this too but the raws are very explicit about it being neutral gear so I left it as is.
Maybe the time machine has a manual transmission? lol (not that you should park a manual transmission car in neutral anyway but alas)

I was questioning the actual content of the manga/story rather than your translation xD (and I'm glad you left it as it)

It is by far the most questionable thing in this manga. I mean, even people that have never driven a car know that you should put it on park!

 

[Princeray]

Neutral? Why not park???

(Assuming this is a manual), it doesnt have a park; you put in neutral and activate the handbrake

It looks like a motorcycle and they don't have a 'park' gear, when stopped they're supposed to be put into neutral. 1N2345 is typical gearing, if engine braking to stop at a sign it's normal to shift into first and use the clutch for a few seconds of no power, before moving on again in first. Happens to newbies, they slow down in first, use the clutch, then get off the bike which drives off without them.

Manual and automatic transmission works different so the way it parks do differs.

This is pretty much the gist of it for motorcycles. For cars, manual transmission with H-pattern shifter do not have parking gear, so leaving it in Neutral with handbrake engaged is the way, on Automatic transmission you can only turn off your car when at Parking shift.

While you two are correct regarding a manual transmission not having a parking gear, there's no reason to leave it in neutral. Be it a motorcycle transmission (in this case for a car it would be a Dog Box) or a car transmission (a synchromesh box) it's good practice to leave it in gear when parked.

If we are specifically referring to a motorcycle trans, the only drawback is if you forget you left the bike in gear when starting up, without engaging the clutch lever, you might lurch forward. However, leaving it in gear prevents any rollback, since the compression of the piston effectively locks the bike in place. Almost the same can be said about a car with a handbreak, that might fail one day as well.

You do no discernible wear to the gears and/or chains (timing, drive, etc.) by leaving it in gear. Leaving it in gear is safer than neutral, when leaving a manual vehicle parked, be ir a car, bike, w/e, or be it a dog box, synchromesh box, w/e. It's also considered a "best" practice to leave a manual transmission parked in gear.

me when i turn the key and cause immense stress on the handbrake because neither the brake nor the clutch pedals were depressed, or crash into the car in front of me because i didn't engage the handbrake:

nah but fr though, i don't feel comfortable leaving a car with a functional handbrake in gear when i park - feels the same as pulling out a pc's power plug without shutting it down first. was also taught to leave it in neutral by my instructor so that might also be it.

i usually find that either i park on flat enough ground to not really need a handbrake, and if it isn't flat enough then I'm gonna be turning into the curb anyways, rendering the "extra protection" relatively useless.

I mean, you're also supposed, as a "best" practice, to engage both the clutch and break pedal when starting a car. Not to mention quite a good amount of vehicles, nowadays, don't even let you start them without engaging the clutch lever/pedal. If I try to start the engine of my bike without pulling in the the clutch lever, the bloody thing won't even engage the starter motor.

You're just telling me you can't follow a good practice because you ain't following a different good practice. Also really weird for an instructor to teach that. Your analogy was just feeling based, I understand that, but it really isn't the same thing at all. One is actively harmful for the component(s), the other really does no damage and should be done.

The functional handbrake is where the "extra protection" stops being useless. A handbrake is functional until it isn't, you can't really account for material fatigue at all times, you can't predict when any component will fail. It is very unlikely that it will fail so "catastrophically" as to let a car roll forwards/backwards, but the chance isn't 0, that's why we have countermeasures and failsafe practices.

I feel like it could be a reference to this bit from a Squirrel Girl comic:

 

[Krune]

thanks for the chapter. At least she fared better then Kyle Reese.

 

[Izuma95]

She's supposed to be Kyle Rysee but instead a typical airhead.

 

[CyanHide]

MC-kun said no flesh is allowed in his vibrators harem

but it'll be a whole decade until wombforces are invented! Let the loyal female subordinate in!

 

[Fugutron]

Shit, it's dumbass Aoi Reese.

You do know you can just put the car in gear after you turn it off, right? Every manual car simce the 1940s has synchronization gears.

Last vehicle I drove without a synchronization gear was a pickup truck from the 1930s, with a 3 on the tree shifter (that I hated).

And as the other person said: you should never start a manual car without pressing in the neutral and brake together. Modern cars make you have to hold the brake as well anyway.

Last thing my foot leaves in a manual car is the brake pedal. First thing it hits is the brake. Hand brake is obviously in use as well.

All of those future waifus make Delta/Astraea from Heaven's Lost Property look competent.

 

[Kimira_]

This mf is just sending girls to his past self to create a harem. Mad lad.

 

[GOAT_of.the_Uchiha]

This is what peak comedy looks like. Bro's got an arguably worse "Harem" than Kazuya da GOAT
