Awww, that was super sweet.
Not even mad it was so short, it was very satisfying.

Uh, the ending of this first chapter seemed a bit ominous to me.

I have only one complaint
This chapter is far too short. More please and thankyou <3

I'm bothered by how many of the commenters are super blase about the very issues brought up by this manga. Yes, there's sex in it. We like that bit, but get over that for a second. From the very first chapter, the idea of sentient sex robots being illegal has been brought up over and over again, and our MC seems to agree with those laws. Some commenters here have made some really insightful comments about why this is the case, and they've kind of ... been ignored by the majority of commenters.

So, here's the issue: we're on board with this MC, because she's sweet and caring and knows that it would be wrong to take advantage of this girl just for sex just because she "has to" have sex according to her programming. But what if the MC was not sweet and nice? What if the MC was abusive, what if they literally only used the bot for sex whenever it was convenient, or they were frustrated or mad, and didn't care about the possibility of breaking the bot, about messing with their programming and breaking down the AI "self" of the robot?
This is the moral problem.

i know it's so cliche, that those ripped pages in the diary probably held Himeko's true feelings of love, and that there's a high chance of a bad end like the original, but I can't help but be engaged and enjoy the same rollercoaster ride. There's just something that keeps me coming back.

I did enjoy the twist of Himeko being the sneaky one this time. I don't think her character has ever been portrayed this way before. I'm still having fun and looking forward to see if the author will follow the end of the original or let them live happily together somehow haha. Maybe the twist ending this time will be with a double death xD

Agreed about the ripped pages. There's always a twist on a twist. Real love underneath something fake and performed.

Also agreed on the double death. The way that Chikane called Himeko her sunshine. Like, the most cathartic end is for her to murder the heck out of Himeko, then kill herself because the world isn't worth living in if love was all a lie.

Of course, then where would we find out the love twist. Maybe not the most cathartic.

I do have a love/hate relationship with doomed to tragedy stories. I'm just the kind of sucker who reads the tale of these two over and over again, I guess.

There's something charming about the author's lack of transition, where there's the tonal whiplash of: intimate moment ... DRAMATIC MOMENT! With like literally no warning.

I wish I had a robot that could just do back/shoulder/hand massages.
The worst thing about being single is that I need to pay someone to do even a small massage. I'd return the favour, of course.

On the subject of sex-robots specifically, though. They really should have programmed her to actually listen. She might be able to do physical stuff great, but some people really do need to be listened to in order to not be traumatised by sex...

This is a really cool manga! That being said, there is a major problem with the sizing in chapter 1!

There's a problem with the EU bra sizing system, where the band's are actually made 10cm too big, and you end up with a smaller cup size than you should. This matches the +4 practice that is common at EVERY SONGLE RETAIL LINGERIE STORE WITHOUT EXCEPTION where, in UK or US sizes, they will tell you a band size that is 4 sizes too high, and a cup size that is (at least) 2 sizes too low.

In reality, Umemiya Ran (our main character) should be a 55D (or a 26D in the US or UK systems) instead of the 65A/30A she was told.

You might notice that her underbust measured 65.5cm, which is equal to about 26.1 inches. The UK system is the more popular with with people in the ABTF (A Bra That Fits) community because the proper band size actually matches your underbust measurement.

The rest of their advice is still 100% true, though, including the actual method for measurement, just not the final size!

If you want to know more about this stuff, I very highly recommend looking up A Bra That Fits! There's a wonderful Reddit community and Discord with people who know way more than I do!

That's a really weird rant to go on considering these characters are neither in the US, EU nor the UK... Are there actually Japanese people in that reddit thread that you consulted? Cause ... like ... even AU sizes are different from the three you mentioned, as well.

There's just something magical about a whole manga kind of dedicated to how to buy and care for women's underwear, haha.

I certainly know those "wire sticking out" feels - ouch! #bigboobproblems

Oh yeah! It's kaiju time!

Can you hear the sirens?
Where are a girls' parents when she needs them. Lol

The irony is… she is Sasski-San so she is like her. Ganbare!

She is indeed kind of "like" Sasaki. But we all know that where the meaning really lies is in her being older and forward, which Nanasawa is not - she'll never be older than her senpai, and so doesn't have the power dynamic that Sasaki has in that relationship.

Heck yeah! Go for it, mini MC.
Truthfully, I'm still rooting for older MC. She went through so much to get to this point, after all.
But then ... in the future, younger MC would too - but I guess at least she would have tried. Argh.

I'm canadian so this ''having to pay for your stay in hospital'' thing is always kinda weird for me, not gonna lie (^^) Also, girl, she talking about buying freaking home appliances with you, put a ring on it ASAP ( well she technically already did but you get what I mean :P ) .

i didn't know that in other countries you had to pay for go to the hospital
capitalism as it best

Yah, Australian here. Gosh, giving healthcare to anyone, whether they can afford it or not, and not eat all their savings/go into debt is one of the best things about living here.
We may not give our Aussie "fair go" to the poor in all aspects of life, but at least they get to keep their health.

Lol. Whoops. This is maybe why you should hold your "love" until you maybe know at least their age first.

Aha! So she is rich.
Man, I'd love to be able to buy bras for my new friends ;)
Holding it to ransom levels the funny even more.

Oops. She was getting a little too into being put into the mood by an underage girl and nearly let it go further.

Lol. All of the human MCs are sliiiightly unhinged, which I like.
It's not just the succubi that are messed up.

Argh, never mind the MC, how do we pick the best girl?

Lol. I thought "Expensive-looking car" might just be a background gag for anyone looking there, but nope, there was more.

Better than taking the time to draw useless stuff, haha.

Tho it is weird that it japanese sizes so we’ll have to translate in our heads, as far as I know there’s no such thing as G in American sizes it just goes to double D but IMO it’d be cooler if it just went down the alphabet and you could be like “me? I’m Z cup!!” Tho that’d prolly hurt ur back

Really? I heard American sizes go waaay beyond DD. Wikipedia seems to suggest they go all the way up to R.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bra_size

Oh, and apparently Z cups do exist. The person with the world's biggest natural boobs is 102 ZZZ.

https://edition.cnn.com/videos/bestoftv/2012/07/18/drew-woman-largest-natural-breasts.hln

I was thinking it's super weird to think that US sizes don't go past DD. Maybe you've only seen sizes in special fancy bra stores like Cotton On Body (do you have Cotton on Body in the US? Absolutely nothing in there fits my massive boobs).
There's even a throwaway comedy line in Hairspray where the store owner asks "DD?" and she answers something like EEE. So ...

I wouldn't know what a G is in JP though. Let's go to that bra size Wiki page and find out ;)

Edit: Wow. This bit of info "except for the initial cup size letters are neither doubled nor skipped." (initial being AAA). So JP cup size G would be ... ... ... ... ... I give up. This is a mess between inches and cm and not even standard (going up by 2.5cm in JP and 2cm in EU. Who even thought up these systems?

A couple of thoughts:
- The mother should know you need to get measured for a bra, you can't just try random stuff. That's poor mothering.
- People make such a big deal of "cup size". I guess it's meaningful if you're like a 10F or something (I dunno JP sizing, so that's AU), but if you're like 20F, that's actually pretty small compared to your waist, so not actually "big".
- I appreciate the explanation. Even I didn't actually know how cup size was calculated.
- I feel like the mangaka really, really wanted to draw lots of bras, which is cool for a story to come from it, haha.

Oh, I forgot one.
High schoolers can't possibly afford to collect bras unless they are from a rich family. Those things cost the same as fancy jeans. Big ouch $$-wise. I hate bugetting for new bras.

Regarding chapter 2:
Yeeeeeah, if she's that far outside of the norm (large size-wise. The smaller they'd stock some), she wouldn't be finding her size in a store. Not even one of them. Unless JP stores are kinder than AU stores and stock uncommon sizes.

Regarding the afterward: road rage is so scary.
I ride a motorbike, and I got a driver angry (about something he did, not me), and he actually swerved his car at me about 4 times for about 5 minutes down the road. Most terrifying experience of my life. I didn't have the presence of mind to take his plate down, I was just so terrified.
(This driver didn't know I'm female, just a motorcylist. I wonder if he'd have pretended to run me off the road if he knew I wasn't a man).

Okay, I was already on the edge (hah), but the best ship is definitely Asumi and her senpai.

I just don't think the Mai ship could have anywhere near the payoff it is building up to.

Lol. That was the best way to accidentally reveal it.
