supportive friends are pretty great

Are you sure? I remember hearing (in a school setting mind you) that females do actually release pheromones. Obviously not to the extent this MC is at, but it might be real.

Well, maybe I should have said "no substantial evidence". It's not inherently pseudoscience like climate change denial or anti-vax, but it's far from being proven, or well understood. The evidence for the various theorized pheromone molecules having any effect on humans is a mixed bag so far. There's also a difference between sex pheromones having any effect on humans, and sex pheromones playing an important part / serving a purpose in human biology. In any case, no human sex pheromones have been isolated yet.

At least, that's what Wikipedia says, and some articles I found. My impression is that if someone really wants to convince you that there are human sex pheromones that influence attractiveness, chances are they're probably trying to sell you something.

In anime and manga, isn't it kind of unusual for minors to watch any sort of porn, similarly to how they rarely consume alcohol

Well... it's pretty unusual for them to be watching it, but it's practically compulsory for any high school boy to have a stack of it in his possession, as illustrated here... though this turns out not to be such a typical example.

Huh, yeah, that's true. That makes this gap more odd, since it's illegal to sell both alcohol and porn to minors, though the minimum age may not be the same.

that guy was clearly a gamer

Anyone have details beyond "non yuri ending"?

I love how chaotic the Beach arc is. The girls act so reckless, even by their own standards.

It didn't occur to me in the novel, but isn't Toriko suspiciously calm while she thinks she shot two people?

Scent fetish is a thing. I think it's about him smelling their female pheromones

There's no evidence for human pheromones, what you're smelling is just sweat and the chemicals in sweat broken down by bacteria. It's not very sexy but at least it's real

this made me think about society and stuff

I like how the second floor of the beach house isn't actually sealed off, but the threatening aura of the dining trays stacked on the stairs is too powerful, so they just don't bother trying to go further up. It reminds me of the bizarre ways areas can be blocked off in some horror adventure games.

cursed thought: this romantic premise is almost like Miraculous Ladybug

Feels kind of ominous but pog I guess

i was confused when she said she's on college yet a minor tho

The age of majority in Japan is 20. That's when you're legally allowed to drink alcohol and smoke cigarettes there. "Minor" in Japan refers to people under the age of majority.

It looks like they are setting legal adulthood to 18 effective March 2022, but the legal drinking age will stay the same
