WataMote: No Matter How I Look at It, It's You Guys' Fault I'm Not Popular! - Vol. 17 Ch. 163 - Because I'm Not Popular, It's Summer

Hatsushiba is definitely a sex-knowledge god. All theory, zero practice mind you.

@thofheinz I was partially joking, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't genuinely skeptical when it comes to this sort of thing. Just for clarity, though, I wasn't trying to imply that a lesbian is any less of a lesbian if she's dated a boy before. I'm sure that's a common thing, given the societal paradigms/pressures behind it. Even if Mako did like boys, that could just make her bisexual for all I know. I've experienced a few bait and switches in other series, or perhaps perceived them that way on my own because I was salty, and am sometimes unsure of whether or not there will ever be any actual payoff outside of teasing.

In my experience, there will usually be a girl or two who pretty much blatantly likes girls or likes a girl in the story (even if it's played for laughs). The others will pretty much give you good reason to think the same, or at least give you a faint idea of it until the author throws in something about boyfriends out of nowhere. I feel like authors don't just throw these things in for no reason. That doesn't necessarily mean the reason is that the girl is actually straight, because there's times when these scenes are used to lend to the contrary (almost like the way it's used with Ucchi here), but I never put it past me.

Yoshida and Mako would be a great pair as far as I'm concerned, and I'm not dead seriously saying this would kill the chances of any more stuff between them, but I could also see the author moving into the territory of Yoshida liking Tomoki or something like that. It could be mere paranoia on my end.

@SJ7

I have faith (foolish) that this particular pair of mangakas won't pull a Hibike Euphonium on us. There's a lot of stuff more volatile than the sexual directions, I think, like the ghoulish possibility that Tomoko will self destruct and not go to college with her friends. God, I hope that doesn't happen. She's so close.

This level of continuity porn is wonderful.

@Panino

What I said I don't get is "giving her first". Not the actual action of it.

 

[Panino]

@goodie-bag
Still missing the joke?
It was "her first time". Got it? She "lost her virginity" with that boy.

 

[Nari]

i want Ucchi and Komoko (or was it Tomoko? i actually forgot lol) to end up together, unironically

 

[mismarca]

i had to google genuflect... kek

 

[Dreecko]

@BaGamman @zdzc @kariocean okay, have reread it and... It cringed a lot

 

[goodie-bag]

@Panino

You don't get what I'm saying, I'm saying why compare it to that.

Also, why make a big deal out of this?

 

[Phuocphuc46]

Everytime an old event in the manga is referenced something in me dies a little

 

[LuxF]

I'm glad we get some Minami love this chapter, I love whenever she appears.

 

[BaGamman]

To be honest, the front page bugs me.
It seems like Tomoko's bottoms twitches to the right in a impossible way.

 

[User1569]

tanned yuri looks like my filipina mom when she was younger

 

[ImNotCreativeEnoughtForThese]

Jesus lord Yuri is such an islander indeed, now on top of that imagine her in some exotic clothes and bam

 

[ImNotCreativeEnoughtForThese]

Mako thats a long story so better not ask (Im reffering to the end of the chap)

 

[KuroZer0]

I actually tried to forget it because it reminded me of something I witnessed.

 

[IbnAurum]

Tomo you silly goose, that's not how the trope works, you need to be locked in wtih someone of romantic affinity! Tche, newb.

Though in her case, a gaggle of girls could be quite claustrophobic.

 

[IbnAurum]

Wtf does it mean to give somebody a first genuflect? I looked up the meaning of the word and it still makes no sense to me. Of all the weird things she could say, she chose that.

Tomo just joked about giving the guy her "first", which usually carries the connotation of giving him her first time/virginity. She subverted that by clarifying that what she gave was her first kowtow instead
