really nice chapter

@Zunko

Why the hell are you supposedly still reading this at 156 chapters if you hate it after 40?

You're not the only one. Just go back and reread the 40 chapters.

I for one am glad the manga did not go the route of Tomoko eventually being found on her bedroom floor in a pool of blood with slit wrists.

Each to his own.

 

[Panino]

Anyone here thinks that Tomoki's big dick will finally break the recent chain of yuri doujinshi?

 

[thofheinz]

@Panino

No, it would just be replaced with something involving futanari.

Besides, I love some of those yuri doujinshi.

 

[Sharpedgs]

@Zunko

Nah, character growth is nice to see and I personally identify with my own growth out of being a loner with Tomoko.

I got a good question:Is not allowed to parked scooter/motorbikes in general schools places in Japan or other countries and......
you get detention ?

 

[RandomFanguy]

What the heck was she doing with that magazine anyway?

 

[SirBernardOftheValley]

Ucchi is a good girl

@RandomFanGuy

That's what I wanna know.

Plus, why is Anna spreading that story about Tomoko munching on Yoshida? She knows it's not true. That's some industrial strength friend-trolling there.

And why doesn't Fuuka ask Asuka about the grope?

And why did Asuka jump to the conclusion of where the hair was located?

I don't hate it, but I do think that it pales to the chapters prior to the school trip.
It seems like the difficult went from very hard to very easy in a blink.

@SJ7
Even if one bring it to oneself or if it is true justice, it still is difficult to see someone in a constant state of pain, loss, solitude and failure. We know that Minami is bad but still at some point is hard to see her always set up for failure (specially with the recent lighter tone of the manga) as if a god (the author) had created her with the purpose of being a justified punching bag.
Weirdly enough, she seems to be the sinkhole for a lot of the original negativity of Watamote. The main difference between Fang and original Tomoko is that Fang voices her negativity more often. Remember when Tomoko got a good slap from her mother, cheated against a bunch of children in a card game, dissed a bunch of otaku, thought of other girls as bitches and sluts, etc?

"And why doesn't Fuuka ask Asuka about the grope?"

I looked back on their interactions from previous chapters and Asuka tends to redirect a lot of Fuuka's questions to her in the few times we've seen her.

High quality shit this chapter

@thofheinz
Regarding the ecchi magazine, this is just a theory, but - she's making fapping flashcards?

I see Asuka prioritizes lewd connotations over mundane ones, the naughty girl.

@Grahav

The difference between Minami and Tomoko is that no matter how much really horrible shit Tomoko thinks regarding people, and spite at some things that may happen to them, she NEVER aggressively tries to make life bad for them, socially, and she never says most of the things she thinks. Like Minami, the things Tomoko actually DID came back at her, like cheating those kids.

That's why people come back so hard at Minami. She's a mean, malicious little shit. Their slapping her back is a survival instinct; if she says something bad about someone, she'll say it about everyone else. She's the kind of kid who will crack up laughing if someone faceplants on a concrete floor. It's quite obvious from the outside that she does what she does, namely discount people's importance based upon relative social worth and the likelihood she'll have to deal with them again.

On the other hand, she is kind of pathetic because she really does suspect that "no one gives a damn about me", I suspect, as she said at Disneyland. Asuka, from the first time we saw them together, has had a marked distaste to the idea of her being around, and Akane turned out to have simply treated her as a dingleberry, and Mako acts as Minami's therapist.

I think there's more to her coming in the story. She has just been too carefully drawn for it not to be so. I mean, it took centuries with Uchi, but her development finally happened and she is a fully realized dynamic character now.

 

[Swifft]

A couple of things lost in translation, here. As in 2, notably.

1) amusingly the specific term Reina uses for the dog is "butter dog", implying exactly how one would get a dog to lick
2) since Tomoko said "beg" (chinchin) Fuuka thinks she was talking about "dicks" (chinko)

EDIT: right, and I forgot: Minami's (Fang's) "friends" are actually making fun of her before she enters the classroom. They're all "she keeps coming over, UKERU~ (HILARIOUS~)" which is, ouch

 

[Panino]

Seeing that there are people defending Minami hardly surprise me at this point, after having seem people defending Ueno in Koe no Katachi.


@thofheinz
I heard talks, went to look, only to be left disappointed. They smelled like bad self inserts for their makers.
Anyway, I hope Tomoki's dick is big enough to reach Masaki.

 

[gronkle]

This has somehow developed so organically to something far deeper about complex platonic relationship hierarchies.
This is a mangaka that loves their characters and the universe they inhabit. If this remains on the trajectory it is currently on, this could be a classic.

 

[thofheinz]

@gronkle

That's perfectly stated. I wish they would come up with a second anime season that somehow finessed transitions required and showed either the entire Kyoto or entire Disneyland arc.
