Mitsuki's a natural talent is having rizz, but Aya shows that purpose and effort pay off as well.

Patiently waiting for the rain to end.

It's still raining.

I honestly have never looked at a human person and gone "Wow, she's just like a cat." Or "He reminds me of a puppy!" But I see this all the time in manga. Maybe all these manga characters have more imagination than me...

What a way to get caught... :D

Love the way Narita shoves his way in at the end lol

It took me way too long to realize Koga and the girl with the twin-tails where the same .-.

Yeah, its typically an energy and personality thing.

I wouldn't usually think of Mitsuki having dog energy, but an Akita doesmake sense for her given how stubborn they both are LMAO
and welcome back Narita my boi; I love that panel gag. I really hope with all this talk about "Onii-san and Mitsuki being the same, and more people start putting that two and two together, that anyone brings up that Aya had a legit crush on Onii-san, snd if she thinks of Mitsuki as the same person... Like c'mon, someone, someone put this into words!! Mao and Chizuru better not join Narita's cheer squad in the background and not say anything. Those two are never gonna do anything about it alone!!

Ya know this chapter reminds me of the dude friends from “Handsome Girl and Sheltered Girl” there was even a panel with a doggo wallpaper background

Perhaps it's a cultural thing. Personally, I've never heard anyone compare a person with pets in my life.

In the UK, comparisons to animals are usually negative - saying a girl is a dog would be... not nice. So it's probably a cultural thing.

Japan is indeed passionate about it. More recently, they mapped personality types - especially that of your partner - to animals (a cat person, a dog-like boyfriend, etc.), and before that there was categorizing facial features specifically (e.g. dog-faced). Telling somebody they're like a certain animal can also just mean they're cute.

Worldwide, you can compare somebody's behaviour to that of some animal (mad as a hornet, a dog in the manger. lazy as a bear, eat or look like a pig), be given a pet name after a shared trait or vague resemblance (puppy, tiger, chipmunk, conejito, chaton, Mausebär), offend by calling somebody an animal that has negative traits associated with it (in English you can even verb animals: chicken, rat, leech, ape, bug...), and notice similarities between pets and their owners.

Now that the secret is out she has no excuse to not wear her full gear when they hang out together. They will feel the full force of her awesomeness!

Well, you wouldn't call her "a dog", that would imply an insult about her looks, same in the US. Comparing her to a puppy, OTOH, or drawing comparisons with specific breeds, is less "looks like a dog" and more of a cute personality thing.

Nobody cares, Narita.
Nobody cares.
No one.

Yes please! I had a feeling these two would be fine with her piercings and tattoo when they found out. Now Mitsuki just needs the courage to show them her full 'casual mode'.

And Mitsuki looks particularly nice in this chapter. Like the top right on page 3. Her hair looks longer, her glasses are off, and the sharp shoulders and slim fit of her shirt all combine into a really good look for her.

For reference, Akita dogs are known for being loving and loyal to their family and close friends while being aloof with strangers. That's probably the meaning that Aya was going for

Oh no, now everyone knows Mitsuki is in the Yakuza!

The dog-faced thing is unintentionally hilarious to me, just because of the fact that a term that would probably be complimentary in Japan would almost certainly be considered fighting words within the context of the English-speaking world. Language is fun like that.

Also, it does seem like animal comparisons in English are usually more particular. It’s not “you’re just like a dog,” but something like, “you’re as loyal as a dog.” We note the feature we want to highlight first to avoid accidentally making any unflattering remarks.

I think it's a bit much to claim that it happens "worldwide", unless you've actually studied on this?

The reason I specifically used "pet" rather than "animal" in my comment was because in my country I've only heard of people being compared to animals in a derogatory way (pig, chicken etc.), as you and others mentioned. If I heard someone talking about dog or cat energy I'd think they've probably been influenced by US (or Japanese) media.

To me "you're as loyal as a dog" also seems insulting lol. It would sound to me like they're calling me a blindly obedient. I'm not sure if it's personal or cultural in this case, but, for the record, most of my family agreed.

Do you want a harem route? Because that's how you get a harem route...

Well, maybe not that one precisely. I was just trying to keep with the dog theme and made something up, but there are more common expressions. “As sly as a fox,” “as wise as an owl” (and yes, I know they're actually really dumb, but it’s an old expression), that sort of thing. The point is that English speakers tend to note the trait being complimented, rather than just referring to someone as being that particular animal.
