^There's no real need for mind reading in texting, though. Them communicating long distance via texting would be no different from any other people, removing not only the significance of the mind reading, but also of the aphasia. I'm also a bit amused by you saying that Mashiro wouldn't have to write everything down if they text, when texting consists of doing exactly that.

My point was that kokosaki is used to reading mashiro's mind when they talk to each other. I think it would be interesting for kokosaki to not have the answers readily available and second guess herself. Also, by "writing", I meant using a pencil to manually write everything, as opposed to using the keyboard on a smartphone + cute emojis.

More. MOAR. WE NEED MORE!

Also come on, Kokosaki is a pure tsundere.

I love how everyone can tell Kokosaki is a tsundere and not like some Shoujo protagonist's immature boy love interest.
Joking aside, can we get a feature to suggest tags for manga too? I think right now it's just on images.

I cant believe I never realized that. I always assumed it was the source button.

Same.

I doubt if I’ll use it very much, but Tsundere-chan is Tsundere.

I suggested the tsundere tag now. They can't reject all of us (they probably can).

In my experience, yes they can.

They can, but I'm positive they won't this time around.

They can and will reject your suggestions for seemingly no reason at times. Ie: When I suggested adding the Nanoha doujin tag to a Nanoha doujin and it got rejected for some reason.

Is this getting serialised?

I don't know, but now, thanks to you, we know what are their hair and eye colours. Hvala ti puno, druže!

Yup. It was picked up by Weekly Shounen Champion​ (whatever that is).

I somehow knew tsundere-chan is blonde. It just seemed to fit.
Not sure if this concept can actually carry a full series. These short 4 page chapters are one thing, chapters that need to go into the double digits for tankubons... sounds tough.

It's the magazine that SHY is currently published in.

Yeah, hard to see how it's not just the same joke OR maybe it becomes stupid convoluted misunderstandings. I mean, Mashiro can't ever discover that Kokosaki can actually read minds, right? Or the whole thing falls apart.

But then, I'm not a writer, so maybe there's some imaginative way to make it great.

Keep it great, I mean.

I believe that having a story with a mute girl protagonist/deuteragonist in itself has a lot of potential. A story with a mindreading girl has a lot of potential too. Mixing them should thus multiply the two, but it somehow doesn't feel that way.

Probably because of the way these chapters were handled, it feels incredibly intimate and limited to these two girls, which is a death sentence for long running formats. To make a full fledged series, more side-characters will have to be introduced and the special attributes of both girls will have to be challenged in more exciting/imaginative situations.

It's not impossible at all, but right now a cute little friendship to romantic build up seemed to be as far as the series wanted to go.

Also it works because chapters are short. I'm afraid of padding.

Nothing wrong with keeping it this way.

Yes, that is why this is good. We are talking about a serialisation though, which cannot work on the same parameters.
