Why is the new Eve a loli? It was a practical choice.
If you make her short, and keep the seasonings on the upper cupboards, she won't put salt in your tea, and sugar in your chicken stock. Just make sure to make her out of parts too heavy for her to stand on top of stools and stuff.

I too enjoy a nice meal of plastic models. As they say, "yakiniku set meal."

Is saving a girl from a molester just a common way to start romances in Manga? Sweet Blue Flowers, My Love Story, and now this.

That's really just an indictment of Japan's problematic view and handling of molestation in the first place. Molestation and assault is so normalized, it's disgusting.

Really? I thought they had women only train cars for that type of thing.

The fact that they need women only train cars should tell you something.

Yeah, that isn't dealing with the issue. The solution would be holding men accountable, which they don't.

They have to be to some degree. I thought I read somewhere that their actual written laws give men harsher punishments.

Are you sure you dont have an antiquated idea of this that still filters around online and isnt reality?
It WAS super bad yes- back in the 70s 80s - but they made a major effort to start capturing and punishing them and making it not acceptable. Last I heard they reduced it by over 80% and dont have or need womens only cars these days.

Now- Im not up to date on the situation- maybe in the last 5 or so years its got bad again- I couldnt say- but as far as I know- the online imagine they still have of this- in part due to things like hentai and porn about groping girls on trains etc- does NOT match the reality.

p.s Not saying it isnt still an issue at all, and is more common than in many countries probably- but nothing like it used to be and certainly not ignored and normalised.

Part of it is the anime/manga industry often portrays things as they were a couple decades back in many ways; it's almost like a time capsule.

Iunno, I felt it was a very weak ending to a very good series. I still love it overall but the last few chapters were not the best ones by far IMO.

Oh, it's here now. This kinda reminds me of Aho Girl with how unapologetically stupid the characters are. I love it.

Oh good I’m not the only one thinking that.

Couldn’t she just settle with the world she’s in now?

The story seems to be heading in that direction, yes.

Yeah, I'm expecting this is going to lead to her realizing that undoing this would make Marika-B very unhappy, essentially; undoing all her work to get back "home".

Meanwhile Marika-B is probably off in the un-plagued reality basking in the testosterone soaked atmosphere, living her dream of being surrounded by her half remembered memories of "men".

You know, considering how un-dense and straightforward our protagonist is, I bet at this point the only reason she hasn't just confessed and tried to get this farce over with on her end is she's not entirely sure if Mako will just go into hardcore denial or not.

I was honestly expecting this to end in a reference to the cat on a treadmill meme.

What's this alluding to?

Early on in the series, Kyouko gives everyone in the Amusement Club a set of pajamas (including herself, with the Tomato pajamas). Yui's is a panda, and presumably Kyouko took it and replaced it with that frilly set of pajamas.

Okay, anyone have any idea what the pages with Kamuri dancing with the cats in the volume 7 extras is referencing? It’s clearly a reference to SOMETHING, but for the life of me it’s not something I can think of...

Uno sympathizing with and helping Sakagami out makes me imagine that secretly, he's in the same situation as her, and has a secret yaoi lover somewhere he's struggling with in a similar fashion, and is currently experiencing his own crisis.

It's nice to see a Yukari-focused dojin that doesn't focus on her obsession with Miho.

I agree. I especially liked the flashback to her childhood that shows why she didn't have any friends before meeting Anglerfish Team. While those girls weren't exactly nice, it's understandable that some people would find her preoccupation with tanks off-putting.

I actually find that a little strange within the social fiction of their universe. Tank operation is treated as a sport and a feminine activity in their universe, so it seems more like it would be like a man in the modern USA who’s REALLY into football; owns memorabilia, knows all the stats of every team back to like the 60s. Sure, everyone around him is like “Carl is REALLY into football” but Carl isn’t ostracized, really.
Unless tanks are a “feminine” hobby in the sense that like, BL is a feminine hobby; but we don’t really see, say, Miho getting the same treatment and she’s pretty “into” tanks too.

Well, I was wondering for a long while exactly what Spirits’ power was; I’d assumed it was some sort of alcohol-kinesis but I was apparently very wrong.

Don't worry, girl. You're 16. If you haven't learned about infinity in school yet, you will soon.

Now I really want to see her reaction to that in class, though... :D

I would read a like one page short sequel to this of her just sitting in Math class screaming her head off.

Man, the real act of kindness from her girlfriend is letting her publish this. I would be WAY too embarrassed to let my significant other publish an entire manga basically about me.

I have a king sized bed, and I'm single. So, so single... But at least I'm prepared for when the time comes again that I'm not. Until that time, I will continue to enjoy sprawling out all over the place and never hitting the edge...

I did not enjoy having a queen size bed as a single person; it DOMINATED my whole room and made it impossible to buy furniture.

Can we get the "what the fuck am I reading?" tag on this chapter? I'm thoroughly confused by...everything.

Not gonna lie, I was REALLY expecting the punch line to be the big one falls on them and sends them to the hospital.

It almost feels in some ways like the twist would be Yuina finally asks Maya out and her response would be “wait we weren’t dating?”

Maya acts a lot like she doesn’t notice Yuina’s obviously liking her because this has been going on so long she just sees it as normal behavior for Yuina.

I 100% interpreted Nene’s squiggly line of anger as irate hissing to the point where I could hear it in my head.

That moment when your girlfriend’s thoughts are reduced to “attack” over and over...you have either done something very right or very wrong.
