"Aah, Sacabambaspis kodai no sakana (sakana)..."

^ even better if they kissed cheeks of different sets, iykwim :))

^ It's both. Have you seen Toga's canines? She just happens to also have skin of the right shape to cover her chompers.

I miss this series, so yesterday I did some digging. Turns out the author suffered from severe chronic lower back pain (sounds like herniated spine to me) and couldn't sit to work on this series, so it was switched irregular release after ch64. The author has since recovered somewhat, ch65 was released in April '23, and ch66 last week.

Truck-kun, Van-san, Train-sama &co. have been working overtime to supply this world, eh?

^I don't know which market they are covering their base for, but it's not China. The audience understands SuleMio are married, they see the engagement since ep1, the interactions, the "sister in law" line and the rings, they are not dumb, and the censorship agency understands too. That agency always watches the entire actual content of a show to look for anything that could be interpreted in a way they don't like and ban it, they don't care for some periphery tacked-on statement of staff or owner company. Yet the show and merchandise were and still are allowed to be on the market in China (edit: they did not have showings on television in mainland, for licensing reason, not censorship, merchandise are still sold), before and after Bandai Namco's backpedaling, so China is fine actually with the marriage that was shown implicitly.

^^"Be ready, Suletta, I'm gonna interpret you so hard you'll walk interpretively for days."
Later
"Oh yes interpret me more, interpreter. Ah, my mind feels so interpreted... Yes, don't stop interpreting, yes, yes, interpret me, interpret harder! I-I'm gonna interpret! I'M INTERPRETING"

Be Careful, Onee-san's possible future :))

It's clear now. Kita is flat so she's subconsciously drawn to Bocchi who has impressive Bocchis. Shamiko's Shamikos are great already, but her muscles are weak as hell, so she's into Momo's rock hard sweet, sweet abs. It's all about filing in for what they're missing, folks.

^ "eventually"? These days it would be more accurate to assume they will get shipped immediately :))

Kobeni, Power only told you to "touch her if you want" :))

^^ & ^ as indicated by the text & tags in the original twitter post (see Source)

^Concentrated pheromones.

True story: Ch01 of this story impressed me so much, I actually started learning Japanese first and foremost to read the rest of this story, since the years and years of waiting for the translation that might never come while having the raw in my hand (author published the pdf freely on their pixiv) were more than I can take sitting idly. I was not very good at learning new language from scratch, and busy with other stuffs in my life, so the learning was slow, even now I can barely get the gist of what was said in the raw, but it was a fun process :)

^same, I don't read shonen, but I do like shipping, and this ship was discussed hotly enough amongst those who read the manga series that info about it made its way to me, so I digged a bit for it in canon, and there were good shipping materials :)) It helps that Toga is the kind of sick character that I find somewhat appealing sometimes.

Incidentally I came across ch395 today (trending on bird app), and holy shit Toga is added to the list of victims of "they killed the gay" when she saved Ochaco's life. Damn.

^ True that. Of course, going into a battle shounen manga just for the yuri is plain silly. But the yuri scent is obviously in the air: the care and deep concern of Ochaco for Toga is very real and established; and Toga "falls in love easily with everyone" in her own words, so that certainly includes Ochaco who she lets in so close to her heart to have this chat. So there is canon reciprocal feelings between the two, not good enough to build a romantic relationship (which needs more than just feelings for each other to form and function) may be, but that's still more than a significant chunks of all yuri ships around. People are not hallucinating seeing this ship.
Also, the serial shippers don't even care about canon, shipping is just fun.

(also, as supporters of LG**B**T, we understand that some people are bi and monogamous so they stick with people of one sex one at a time, so about half of the times they are with people of the other sex, right? Such detail might never get explicitly stated if it's not the focus of the series, but I find it to be way less of a headache about the whole 'bait this bait that' debate to just handwave it that they are bi and monogamous)

^^Aside from many previous instances of Ochaco showing deep concern for Toga, in the lastest chapters (393, 394), Toga is going berserk, her frustration with the world's unfairness overflowing, Ochaco tries to get through to Toga, gets stabbed and is bleeding out, but eventually she's got Toga to open up to her.

The exchange is currently going like this:
Ochaco (already stabbed): "That smile of yours is so perfect, I'm jealous (...) I don't want to pretend I never saw your amazing smile. I can't erase all your crimes (...) but if any part of you still feels like talking to me, you can have a lifetime's worth of my blood, so let's have that chat about romance!"
Ochaco, internally: "My body is going cold, but what matters right now is that I want to reach out and touch that sorrow inside of you
[Some more struggling as Ochaco tries to get close but not hurt Toga. Ochaco gets slashed some more, but eventually gets close enough, Toga comes back to her sense. They embrace with Ochaco's legs around Toga's hip, Toga tells Ochaco the root of her painful frustration with the world, mostly how she falls in love very easily with every one she met, but the world has been ingraining in her that she's creepy and gross, and it festered on from there. Then they deliver these lines in tears:]
O: "(...) May be I'm no replacement for the League, but I want you to know how special I think you smile is"
T: "Do... you really... think I'm cute?"
O: "The cutest girl in the whole world."

So yeah, can't help but shipping them harder and harder.

^^ Because last chapter (78) has been released half a month ago.

At first glance this could be mistaken for normal Princess carry, but actually Ikuyo is between Bocchi's legs which Ikuyo is holding up with her arms. Or is it a new style of Princess carry with much more crotch grinding that I didn't know of before?

"Do... you really... think I'm cute?"
"The cutest girl in the whole world."

A lot of the time people assume a story is good just because it tackles heavy themes. Well, this story is tackling some of the heaviest themes imaginable, and I genuinely think it's doing a great job at it.

Well, tackling heavy themes is hard, many stories crashed and burned and fell to oblivion attempting that (because badly written plus heavy themes equal people thoroughly want to throw the memories out of their heads both consciously and subconsciously), but those managed to pull it off will have a bigger impact, so when people remember "stories with heavy themes" they could only recall the good ones, so over time some people got it backward. But I agree, this series is doing good so far.

@juanelric: Which part that gets wet matters :))

^^^ Maki-kun from YagaKimi wholeheartedly agrees.
