^ I did watch it. And I did enjoy it. It's basically a step from the "classic" mahou shoujos towards more serious and mature interpretations like Madoka.

But it's also about as romantic as watching your average washing machine rumble about. But whatever. When it comes to romance, I've given up on humanity. ^^

Sisters that aren't into each other? In the Mochiverse?

Something here does not compute.

Calling those bonkers, completely unfounded "theories" wacky isn't insulting, it's just stating a fact. ^^;

I don't think "repression" is a good (narrative) answer for what's going on with Ayako. That might or might not be plausible irl, but in fiction I expect certain internal logic to be upheld, and if the mother is first shown to be oblivious, and then later shown to be not-oblivious earlier, than that's a problem the narration needs to explain ...

That sudden dark vibe though... Don't know what to expect tbh

Wasn't sudden at all imo. There was always something slightly off with the authoress. Don't know if it means anything though.

Blergh. This just hits all those artificial drama tropes. Frankly, I just don't care. Maybe one of them will pull a knife and stab another ...

So the implication is that Ayako realized ... something ... even as Asuka was still in middle school? Does that really make sense looking back at the first chapters, where she seemed fairly oblivious? :?

This reminds me a lot of Hinamatsuri. Some bonkers characters and some sensible ones trying to do damage limitation and everything always ending up with improbable solutions.

... in fact it reminds me so much it feels too same-y for me too enjoy, despite the completely different setting ^^

Delicious, I agree.

Right, I'm with everyone else. This is clearly just a switching-back then now.

Test test.

Doesn't do anything? Does it? Doesn't seem that way.

Given the reality of Japanese society I think you'll have to hope for that type of stories to (mostly) come from elsewhere ^^

Yeah, as others have said, there's definitely something going on with that marriage. And I mean there's this not so subtle, out of nowhere "what if her husband is against it?" question ... which just seems very suspicious to me. Why bring it up if he might not not be against "it"?

But still ... what a shit thing to do all around ^^

I guess he'll be discovered and (probably) properly recruited for the effort sooner or later. Otherwise, yeah ... I'm sorta divided on the idea. As light-hearted comedy, great, otherwise ... kinda creepy. ^^

Eh, it's one of those things that's so ridiculous it doesn't even compute as anything remotely involving humans anymore. Some sort of Gestaltzerfall, basically, only the non-yuri kind. ^^

Usually it's ear cleaning, but that's kinda like a lap pillow ... so dunno ...

Japanese cola is made from rice and given it's color with dark soy sauce. You heard it first on Dynasty.

It's just the same old, trite non-debate. "It's fiction." "But fiction matters for real-life." "But it's still fiction." "But it still matters." Yeah, well, both's true, so what? Nobody ever complains about the inappropriate use of extra-judical force to deliver justice in Die Hard. People are supposed to not be too stupid to mix fantasy and reality. The only alternative is censorship, and there lies a path to true evil.

Either way, good first chapter. Very Japanese with how the people acted; love that. Mangas need more bowing and elaborate apologies for that proper Japanese feel :D

Given certain content of certain other manga I feel like weird nipple shit might give the wrong associations.

Ah ha ha ha ... yeah. One of those chapters that remind me of that day I was run over by a car. Feels roughly the same. ^^

No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality.

Wholesome cuddling. Carry on, there's nothing to interrupt here.
