Uploaded with no tags, that's a rare sight.

The emptiness is even meta.

It's a joke that's easy to make

It seems like a lot of work to fail at pulling off a thirty year old joke? But not everybody can enjoy, uh, "classic comedy", or whatever it passes for these days. ^_^

You know, I often wondered about Souseki Natsume and his famous answer to the question of how to say "I love you" in Japanese.

There are many versions of how the episode played out, but in all of them there's a foreign student (who's learning Japanese from Souseki) who eventually faces Souseki and asks him to say "I love you" in Japanese.

Souseki then looks at the student and says: "Tsuki ga kirei desu ne" ("The moon is beautiful, right?")

I often wondered why Souseki didn't say "Aishiteru" or "Suki da yo" or any other of the many correct answers, instead of giving an obviously wrong translation. Most scholars try to explain this claiming that Souseki wanted the student to realize that the Japanese people prefer to express their romantic feelings indirectly, because doing otherwise is too embarrassing. But... I never found these explanations convincing...

But now, I think I have finally found the real reason.

Souseki was way too cool to fall for such a transparent prank. Unlike sensei here. Yup.

THIS IS ALL WIN ALL THE WAY

Moral of the story: Don't try to drug your beloved, or you'll get raped in the gym storeroom.

Unless that is something you enjoy or you have really low standards.

So if both of those are true, you basically can't lose!

NGL, I have my homicidal moments, but this is red flag territory for a lot of contexts

I almost half expect Mochi to end this with a hostage situation that goes Reservoir Dogs bad or something

is "glacier lesbian" a term yet because it may be necessary here

(However, why does anime, and manga always make characters, that take it to ridiculously over the top levels.

Yeah! Let's get more realistic drawings and character motivations, like good old fashioned violence. Like how Bugs Bunny realistically has a hammer in his back pocket and his heart stretches his chest if it beats too hard. ;)

It's not funny, it's creepy.

If it's not for you, I'm sorry to hear it, but there's a billion "not creepy" things in the world and this speaks to freaks like me. No reason it shouldn't exist because it isn't un-creepy.

Just read something else.

I had a weirdly analogous moment in HS when a girl I knew yanked on the back of my necklace and realized instantly that it was vaguely arousing to me. (Well, except I sort of knew her and she called me gross and I never admitted it in any way and still wish she'd actually have been into it.)

sigh, I'm not even motivated enough to go find out if there's people playing the "don't talk about straights that way" nonsense

just too depressing if those suspicions are true

(I'll worry about straight "persecution" the day straight people going about their business get hassled for not being gay. until that happens, which is never, I don't give a shit about the imagined persecution of mainstream folk)

Insane Amount of Misunderstandings
. . . How much use would such a tag even get, hypothetically? Like, it's not every decade we get a character that's completely unable to understand the concept of other possible explanations for what is going on, and mentally crafts bizarre narratives for everything.

glances at Futari Monologue, then shrugs slightly as it's the only good example she can think of on short notice, and remains silent

This manga would look great as an anime. i mean it has Decent and Unique Fights, Girl Knights, Good Comedy, Nice Art(especially the armors design), Decent Plot and Story, a Rare Idea for a World building and Setting, Mild Ecchi AND GAY GIRLS!!. too bad it is barley selling and other gold mine of cliche works are having a blast.

I felt happy that it wasn't cancelled and got picked up by another magazine and I'm totally looking forward to future chapters.

Same! Love this manga, hoping for lots more! Such a unique concept, and lady knights are totally something there need to be more of. ^_^

Why is the "turn straight girl gay" theme so popular now days?

It's a key part of the very well-funded war on straightness.

^That One Time I Bullied Her For 2 Years And All I Got Was A Lousy Thank You

So in the language of flowers, what means "I love you 99.9%." ? 99 red roses with one black one? I need to know for reasons.

99 red and one red with a tenth of the petals removed, of course

IT'S FLOWER LAW

So much for constructive conversation.

Ah, the combative method of debate, always something that promises to enlighten.

As always you have to have everything given to you on a silver plate and catered to you. There is no room for compromise. I bet you didn't even understood what i was talking about in your close-minded homonormative head. You're doing exactly the same thing you accuse other people of doing and being wrong.

Whereas harassing people who don't want to have hypercomplex discussion about being rejected by society is encouraging the free exchange of ideas, as usual! ^_^ (I'm sure the fact I'm not gonna have a forty page argument about it means you're already correct, though, so feel free to just antagonize people who are willing to talk to you instead, I guess?)

homonormative

Oh! This is trolling! Well, have fun with that nonsense then. Still uninterested, but I'm less worried the forums here are infested with shitbros or something. (They tend to make these shitty statements, but of course I can't know if you're one. I hope not, but I can't know, and hence am not commenting on that matter.)
