You are right, not a little, they are a lot necessary
Look, when something is made up to be ecchi from the start as in with this manga, then whatever have all the shower scenes and bouncing boobs as your story or theme or whatever requires. Knock yourself out. But when you have a work that, ostensibly, wants itself to be taken seriously, random out of nowhere service scenes are nothing else but a sort of bat signal for otaku to reassure them that "don't worry, this caters to you". It also gives the impression that your work is not good enough to stand on its own without appealing to such crowds.
Now, this does not mean that you can't enjoy such things in whatever story you choose to, again knock yourself out. Personal biases do not change the fact however, that more often than not this stuff is slapped on for no good reason and normalized to a terrific degree.
Having said all that...
I don't know if the shower specifically was necessary but that whole sequence served two purposes, to introduce the knowlegde about Kirara and to show that angel-san feels weird when boobs are near her, that's why she had that reaction when her kohai approached.
It was to show that angel san was suffering from the woes of been flustered and attraced to girls but been too embarassed by it.at least thats what I got from it.
Well, that works as well as any explanation I suppose. And as established this work has no qualms about nudity anyway so it is what it is. I am sure funny shenanigans will follow for us all to enjoy!
Does "a slightly lewd and stimulating love comedy" count
The man-eating giant version is pretty obscure unless you're either very religious or a student of it.
Or, y'know, throw the name at Wikipedia like I did.
Which makes it obscure since only people who encounter the word look it up, and it's not something you commonly run into. :P
...your own description of its pop-culture usage rather conflicts with this claim. Just sayin' but "people not looking up fancy names they see in fiction" doesn't actually equal "obscurity" - it's just plain PEBKAC laziness. :v
(angels can only see a small wish right? it’d make sense, since having a girlfriend or whatever isn’t a small wish, so like yk, it doesn’t show up bc she doesn’t have small wishes)
Goes back to the 1913 Webster dictionary, too. Not all online dictionaries have "capable of being impregnated", though, I had to look around to find Collins.
Of course, this in Latinate English; it's unlikely Japanese has the exact same ambiguity.
It's bugging me how badly this author draws butts, given how much he seems to like them. ><; Each cheek isn't an independent lobe stuck on top of a leg separated by like 3 or 4 inches.
Other than that, as a dumb ecchi comedy it gets the job done. :p
Anyone know the sfx of chapter 6? Was she sucking?
You don't specify which page, but I'm gonna assume you mean page 16 or thereabouts. No, the fx are as follows:
Top right: A bang or rattle sound and one expressing surprise/shock.
Below that: Indication of a gentle touch
Left: Shock/Surprise
Bottom: Very loud heartbeat, small "twitch" sfx near the legs
I see this mangaka still loves their ass shots, heh.
Yes, indeed. But they're still SO bad. I mean, I'm used to mangaka being unable to draw breasts in the ballpark of anatomically correct, but butts? (Incidentally, this guy isn't that bad at breasts, which makes it even stranger).
I mean, that's what you'd get if you popped the legs off a Barbie doll and glued them onto a stick. I'm so confused that this guy has such an ass fetish but seems like he's never seen one before. Feels like he's drawing what he thinks one looks like from a 10-year-old trying to describe it after seeing a dirty picture one time for a few seconds. The shadow of a memory of booty, long ago lost to the ages of legend...
