The popsicle was a metaphor for cock, no cocks on my lesbian manga
Yeah, I had thought that joke was a bit misplaced too, glad they changed it to be honest
Sometimes, a cigar is just a cigar and a popsicle just a popsicle.
Tsukushi was just embarrassed because, gasp, shock, "Indirect kiss with Hinoka!" In this kind of pure and wholesome manga, that's enough to make a girl fluster and flutter.
You're not wrong, and it very well could have been completely unintentional, but it still brought that to my mind, and I found it a bit awkward/uncomfortable to read in a yuri story. And seeing as I wasn't the only one who had taken it as such, I think it's quite likely they changed it precisely because it brought that image to mind, even supposing it wasn't intentional on the author's part.
Also, I never meant that Tsukushi had thought anything of the sort regarding the popsicle, only that it was a (distasteful) joke directed to the reader.
I have to agree that Hinoka literally shoving the popsicle into her mouth was funnier than only bringing the ice cream cone to her face though.
Imagine if she still did it with the ice cream, would be even funnier and messier. Man I just really wish they at least adapted her flustered face because that was cute. Maybe even the indirect kiss by making actually taste the ice cream, but from the shape of the ice cream I guess that would be a bit hard to do.
Wow all of this bc someone automatically correlated a popsicle and a Dong... What a dirty mind...
no actualy I saw this part in quite a few dumb ero straight manga! it’s like an troup of straight manga to make it looks like the girl is giving an BJ because the popsicle is also white in color and you know how icecreem melts……so glad the joke ain’t in cuz it truly is an D joke given I ALWAYS see that joke as an methaphore of BJ :/ (also the one holding the popsicle ends up being an man most of the time)
Dr Freud would like to have a word with you.
I just hate that joke a lot, like I was reading an story that had an interesting plot but the author had to add echi in it because reasons!(because echi sellls) so I saw that dumb joke quite a few time enough to really dislike it! I mean I was in it for the martial arts and such! I got nothing against some echi moments and such but then this joke is like………..
I mean the popsicle as a metaphor really is an established trope. Used to probably maximum effect in Monster Musume, and IIRC also in some other, more explicit and questionable works that I should probably not mention by name ;)
That doesn't mean it has to be a reference to male genitalia, and in this case I would say there was some ambiguity to it. Especially for the characters it is unclear, while I think as a visual joke for the audience it may have been intended indeed.
