Koguma is looking at her with so much affection in her eyes....... really makes my heart flutter

Figure it out Hino, you can do it

Oh my god it’s written all over her face you idiot

“I thought you said your hair was as important as your life”

“It is, that’s why I’m entrusting it to you”

That is such a flirtatious line come onnnnnn

Considering the person in question said that they don’t want to be a girl, and just likes the clothing I would not consider this trans.

Looks like the boundary between them is starting to break apart. I’m very glad this conflict was solved in a way that feels very accurate to their character dynamic. No longer are they just two strangers traveling together, I think they’ve both tentatively reached out to each other because neither really wants to separate anymore.

Koguma is so willing to accommodate for Hino, her tolerance has basically reached infinite levels, and I don't think Hino knows what to do about this affection being showed to her

I thought for a second this was love live chisakanon and I was so confused at the designs and nicknames...

Same, I saw chisato x kanon but then it didnt say love live superstar and i got confused

Just wanna say that I love the way this artist draws breasts.

Yeah I agree, it’s refreshing to see the variety of sizes and shapes in a landscape where basketball tits are the norm. You can tell the mangaka knows their titty anatomy

I think that the reason these androids are illegal is probably some kind of limit on how complex an AI can get. If you design an android with programming that puts it on par with a human then you can’t make them do any labor a human couldnt because it would be abuse or something like that.

I don't think Kiyo is such a bitch... Being homosexual in that time was hard and that time was so hard in general. I don't think "Micchan is right and Kiyo bad" or the other way around, I just feel a deep pity for both characters :(

Exactly, a lot of the criticism is coming from a very modern perspective. Nowadays it might be true that somebody like Kiyo is just way too cowardly and that you shouldn't spend time on her, but in 1960s Japan things were different. That's not to say that Mitsuko wouldn't have benefited from getting some distance and moving on, but it is kind of unfair to be so hard on Kiyo imo. The social consequences for even just being unmarried, not to mention lesbian, were extremely severe. Criticising someone for not willing to go that far is a bit naive I think, realistically most people would do the same (and they did IRL)

Yeah, and speaking of social consequences and being realistic, let's not forget about lavender marriages, when a gay and a lesbian married for convenience. People tent to forget how shitty the society used to be to queer people, they weren't coward, it was just the only option they had to live their lives

Honestly figuring out how to have a “lavender marriage” would probably be one of the best options back then, because at least your husband might respect you

Night one complete, lets see how the next 6(?) days go

Score:

Koguma: 2 Hino: 0

100 days until Kirara pushes Chariel down

I think that counts as a confession or something. I’ve changed my mind Hino is the oblivious one and Koguma knows exactly what she wants.

Weird ship

Ooooh shit this is intense

Given Seiko's age, the events of that flashback were 5 or 6 years ago. I wonder if this guy is still writing for the magazine. I wonder if that comment about "4 volumes" was in the original or a slight liberty by the translators, considering this manga was finished last year at 4 volumes.

considering he knows her name and she never used a pen name he might have read her works

I wonder if she'll agree? I feel like a week long sleepover arc has to have some progress right? Maybe a kiss, or a realization of love?

Seems like a decent guy, buuuuut writing an eromanga character based on a kid seems pretty sketchy

Isn’t this also because Heath is going to outlive Lily by a lot

Anyone else think that the perspective on the first page looks really weird

Is this like a proto-ponko one shot or just an alternate storyline with a very similar premise

But one of each pair (Koguma/Harumi) is in much shallower denial than the other (Hino/Chiaka) and seems to be getting rather frustrated at their partner’s continuing failure to just go for the yuri gold.

I don’t think this is exactly right. In the boob story Harumi has been pretty explicit in (thinking about) a romantic relationship with Chiaki while in Hino-san no Baka, Hino is the one with thinking about Koguma as someone she likes romantically rather than just for physical things.

The reason I say this is because Chiaki up until pretty recently was fine with just a sort of fwb type relationship and has only recently started to become conscious of Harumi outside of their boob groping relationship. Koguma on the other hand is still deluding herself into thinking she only cares about Hino as a friend or a fellow classmate, and even goes so far as to rebuke Hino for wanting to walk around hand in hand “because we’re both girls” or whatever, despite pretty clearly having fallen head over heels for Hino.

Okay I laughed a lot at the self drying procedure

Keke and Chisato just over here agreeing to share Kanon
