2021 and we still gotta make do with bread crumbs after nearing almost 100 chapters. We got a lot of people having to make so many jumps/assumptions/essays to feel better, but tbh at this point, it does just feel like the author is dragging it a bit much, no?

Well, it's a gag manga. I read it for the funny faces, not just the romance.

But also consider that the chapters are about 6 pages long on average. While we're at chapter 89, that's still just 4 volume's worth of content. And the story also follows several other characters besides the main couple.

I think it would be useful to show the year a manga was originally started releasing, on its page. This could be as simple as putting the year in brackets after the title - e.g. Bloom into You (2015)

Or maybe the Baka-Updates profile of the title can be linked in the description. Their database has most series and anthologies.

The reason I'm suggesting this is because I noticed how important the context of the release year can be to judging the quality of a work. Ch1 of Prince Prince was uploaded this year, but it was launched in 2015, so it's one of the earliest works of the author. A lot of people seem to be confused in the forum thread, because the fact that the series is over 5 years old isn't visible in an obvious spot.

This series is better than I expected. It's hard to explain how, but I feel like Aoto Hibiki's storytelling has matured somewhat, even if it's still pretty fluffy and light.

I don't even like the game but this rocks

After all that build up and they just went back to their status quo?

This is not necessarily a full reset. Regardless of how Yokoe wears her hair, she can still change.

I think it's likely that Sugiura is attracted to Yokoe, but is even more insecure about it, and wants to ignore any signs that Yokoe feels the same way, perhaps also fearing rejection. This is a staple of the yuri genre, so a real twist would be to subvert this plot.

The fact that Sugiura took it upon herself to remove the hairpin, may also indicate that she's the one more desperately clinging to their friendship staying the way it is. And, perhaps when Yokoe's hair obscures one of her eyes, it's easier for Sugiura to ignore how pretty Yokoe is.

Is it just me or does this have a somewhat unhealthy, creepy vibe to it? In a good way.

No, I feel the same. It's borderline catfishing.

Ok the characters may not be the brightest tools in the shed, but that scenario and position is kinda lewd

lol looks like the person who suggested the Yuri tag thought they needed to put the reason in the box below, but that one is for the description

Well, I guess they both really do know all about it.

This is one of their best work yet

Wow that was harsh

Riko had her soul sucked out 0_0

With a morning routine like that, I would get up on time everyday.

But the question is, why does she boot Nadeshiko up in the morning, when the latter just sits there doing nothing all day? Why not boot her up in the evening, after she comes back from work? It will save even more battery life, and there is less risk that Nadeshiko randomly wanders out of the apartment and gets discovered by the neighbors.

Sometimes I think that the Japanese have their priorities all scrambled up. :/

Isn't that how any conservative society operates, though? Known evils are bad, but everyone pretends they don't exist out of "respect for tradition", but everything new and modern -- like the use of AI technologies to address the omnipresent alienation endemic in the highly-urbanized world -- is a capital-E Evil and deserves the harshest condemnation.

The more highly advanced the robot is, the greater the concern that it's sentient. So the more similar a sex robot (i.e. a robot whose purpose is to provide sex, and is not allowed to refuse) is to a human, the more similar it is to a sex slave as well, in practical terms. Nadeshiko is very easy to mistake for a bio-human, even if it's unclear if she's actually sentient.

This could be a reason for a legal ban of realistic sex robots, and a the reason why Tsuda may feel bad about leaving Nadeshiko in "sleep mode" longer than necessary. Powering off Nadeshiko any time she doesn't "need" her (e.g. for sex, or companionship) might feel like denying any semblance of individuality or agency from her, perceived or real.

The writer and her daughter might feature in the vlogger's mukbangs? And sort of pose as a couple and family, for the extra controversy. Or maybe they'll launch a brand new channel together?

Otherwise, the title is kind of odd, considering how it doesn't yet relate to the fake dating plot.

Probably in the minority, but NicoNozo is my favorite Nico ship, with NicoNozoEri being a close second. Their whole dynamic is my shit

Ironic username... But NozoNico is indeed a powerful force.

good god these bitches are gay

well yeah basically nobody watched BRR (or so I've heard)

yeah we gay
keep scrolling

it looks like Blake fell asleep like that

huh, is that what they call it these days

they rarely got to relax like this in the show itself :')

this is the way

Not overt homosexual activities in the manga ✅

+15 social credit ↑

not baseless to assume the Chinese government would do so

It is baseless to assert that they will or have done so. Is it possible it could happen in the future? Sure, anything is. But it's not illegal and there is currently no reason to believe it will actually become so, so it should stop being repeated in every thread.

and bc the authors try to stay in the clear by skirting as close to being "subtext only" as possible while trying to make clear to those who "know" that it's totally not subtext.

I'm begging you, please just stop making things up to push a narrative. Please.

Defending the honor of the glorious CCP ✅

Keep it up! ☺

It's weird how fast she is to dismiss the idea of calling an ambulance. Even if she didn't have the bruises, she could have internal bleeding, head trauma, or a number of other medical emergencies that may not be obvious. As if the dispatcher or the paramedics would laugh at her for being concerned about an unconscious teenager passed out on the street.

I get that "it's not supposed to be realistic" but then why even bring up the thing that a normal person would do.
