Didn't really expect that people would wanna apply ACAB to other countries. These two are definitely Public Safety though, and unlike their closest American equivalents, they don't make traffic stops or investigate serious crimes, so I highly doubt we're going to get any actual action with lives on the line.

While there is more I could say about the differences between the Japanese police we see here and American beat cops, I don't think any of it is really relevant to the story. I'm gonna sit back and relax while enjoying cute yuri hijinks.

Part of me would be curious to see this premise handled a tad more seriously, but I can live with a light comedy about cute bubblehead cops too. Happy slice of life stuff with a yuri angle always makes for a fun read in my book, I'll never get tired of that, even if it's not aiming all that high.

If you're willing to trade off yuri in favor of slightly more seriousness, there's always Police in a Pod, which leans a little more into the "this job is a bit shit innit" aspect of being a koban policewoman.

Yuri is non negotiable for me, sorry :P

This is great, but I'd recommend using "koban" instead of "police box". "Police box" carries a different connotation from koban, one more mobile...and deep blue.

I'd like to think most of our readers can tell the difference between a smaller-scale police station and a Tardis.

Lol I was about to write something on police boxes not being as spacious as the station where our two constables work... but then I recalled the Tardis is (wait for it) bigger on the inside!

If the Doctor could get the bloody Chameleon Circuit fixed, that would be much more difficult.

The TARDIS part was a joke. It's just that 'police box' and 'koban' are two different concepts (though they do serve some of the same functions).

Police Boxes were used by the public to call police stations back when mobile phones weren't really a thing. They were also used to alert nearby police officers (via the light on top), who I would then presume call in. Again, before cell phones and handheld radios. Apparently they were also used to hold criminals, hence the lock, but I've yet to find a case where this actually happened. More often, they were used as benches for police officers to rest. They fell out of use during the mid-late 60's. They were also all uniform in design (mostly, there are ~4 'marks' of design and each box differed slightly, and the police boxes pre-1929 were all of their own wacky designs). Police boxes were not staffed at all.

Kobans are, as you said, mini-police stations. They're fully staffed and (i presume) equipped. They're buildings, too. They just sort of feel like sufficiently different concepts.

Agreed. Their circuitous attempts to keep these two from a cavity search is reprehensible.

From what I can tell, outside of when they literally come off for story reasons, they disappear whenever they're in the yuri void (pay attention to the background). Basically the yuri version of when Mortal Kombat games remove masks and stuff during X-ray attacks and fatalities.

this chapter has completely sold me on this premise. i hope we get romcom shenanigans while they're tracking a kidnapper or something

If I had to guess, I'd say no. The small image has, in addition to the two meatballs, got an antenna, which Munakata doesn't, and I think a slightly rounder face. Antennas are usually a persistent character design feature, so.

This is the type of manga I try to read half asleep and just stop after a few panels. Probably will try again another time.

I think there is a good point made about managing the amount of time you spend together as a couple versus on your own, but calling someone a cheater for their hobby is pretty fucking stupid, and also obviously toxic.

That exchange did give me this very useful image though.

What if your hobby is having sex with other people? Okay, great, we've established hobbies can be cheating. So how about fantasising about having sex with other people? It's not literally cheating, but it's cheating-adjacent, I'd say. Or perhaps just "emotionally cheating". Even if it's a fictional character, it feels pretty messed up to be devoting that kind of emotional energy to the point of buying sex dolls while in a relationship. Obviously if your partner is okay with it go for it, but calling the mere idea of someone being uncomfortable with it "fucking stupid" is the real toxic take here.

Never forget the golden rule: more than one waifu will ruin your laifu.

I think you can say that emotionally neglecting your partner is bad without calling it literally cheating
