Until you turn forty and realize that you kinda want kids in the long run

I know more people that turned 35 and realized that they really didn't want kids in the long run.

Poor kid is smart but not getting enough support

As for this chapter, that mascot reminds me of a certain blue badger...

The main reference in this case is Tokyo's police mascot Pipo-kun (which is likely where Blue Badger gets its influence from too.)

Well done to that kid for saying what the rest of us men can't. How can you not look when there's a girl that hot right in your line of sight? It's impossible, god damn it!

It's not impossible, in fact it's pretty easy. Please do some self-reflection, and stop staring at people.

I don't think I'd trust those two with raising a kid. At least not yet.
I do wonder what the adoption situation is like in Japan though. Are they open to same-sex couples?

^Some people are too up tight about that stuff- i dont generally disagree but a joke manga isnt a place to care about imo.
especially when its mostly from kids.

The thing about kids people mention 'what about adoption' did stand out as troublesome to me tho. I dont know how its percieved in Japan but it was like the option never occured to the mangaka- like having kids was totally out for 2 girls when they have plenty of options.

Japan only allows a couple to adopt a child if they are married, and same-sex couples cannot get married in Japan.
But even then, Japan has a very low adoption rate of children.

It always baffles me when countries don't allow for same sex couples to adopt. There's so many kids out there that need loving parents and a good home.

It mainly has to do how marriage works in Japan and how slow they are with changing the system. For marriage the woman has to be registered into the man's family register which is why same-sex couples cannot do that right now. Single mothers are generally looked down upon, and up until not too long ago children born out of wedlock did not have the same rights as "regular" kids when it would come to things such as inheritance.

Japan's adoption system is pretty bad anyway, only around 15% of orphans in childcare institutions actually get adopted (compared to something like 70+% of the UK and the US). Additionally, most adoptions in Japan are adult men getting adopted into families so the family can keep their family name and company through their adopted heir. Ironically this also allows same-sex couples to become recognized as family by adopting the other.

Are you saying that in Japan, if you are gay, you don't marry but get adopted?

I've heard it's a thing that works with gay men and I'm not sure about women...but yeah basically a loophole there.

Edit: Though I've heard least Tokyo as of last month now acknowledges gay couples with a...certificate of being a couple or something? Apologies I'm probably remembering the exact details wrong. Basically there's progress, but definitely a lot of work to be done still.

It is an option some people opt for, but it's a rather permanent thing that cannot be undone, so it's not a great idea.

There are some prefectures that offer some sort of certificate, which aren't recognized legally as marriage certificates, but still provide some similar benefits such as visiting rights when hospitalized.

It's a thing that some specific municipalities are doing to afford same-sex couples some rights that normal married couples have, like hospital visitation rights or rules having to do with renting/mortgages. It's still not the same as nationally-recognized legal marriage though.

Civil servants can't take side jobs? Isn't that an incentive to quit?

They must be a Japanese rule to. When I used to work security, they would hire officers to just stand around in uniform or sit in their cars as a second job.

Everyone in this manga obsessing over Hanaoka's boobs all the time is starting to get pretty uncomfortable. I've never understood this type of humor

Yeah, the vibes are off. It's not just a one-off joke here, but more like a running gag. Women with large breasts do get stared at in real life, but I don't know why I'm supposed to find it funny.

It doesn't help that the humor in general consists of "tall girl has big boobs, small girl is otaku". I figured it would still be worth reading for the romance, but Ruru and Shiorin are almost never alone and they always get interrupted, so...

Are they going to do anything about the creep from page 10 though? Or the other creeps who were openly harassing Hanaoka? As cops shouldn't they be doing something ? This is kinda messed up (^^)

I would assume the peep photographer was dealt with off-screen for the sake of pacing. Also it's a bookstore with at least two floors of goods revolving around boobs. They're not gonna blow their cover to respond to people just going "that girl's got big boobs".
