I feel like it's not a coincidence that the main character was named Haru, the Japanese word for Spring

I like that sort of cheesy symbolism

A fun read, but umm... shouldn't it kinda have a Rape tag?

Depends on your interpretation
As a comedy manga, the author's intent was likely that Sou is just being a closeted gay tsundere about it, as also implied in the later panel where she has apparently stopped sleeping with guys

But yeah, MIkoto does come off rather rapey with her if you don't look at it that way

I thought it was fairly clear that when the Author said he didn't think of it as Yuri, what he meant was that he was thinking about it as a romantic story that anyone who has ever been lovestruck could relate to regardless of gender and not something meant to be shoved into the girl's love box

I never really cared about whether Tarnish got the girl but I did think her plan for getting rid of immortality would probably fix a lot of the problems in that world. 90% of the monsters were people who royally screwed up on the becoming immortal quest

Not sure her idea of normalizing zombies was much better, though xD

She had me considering going for the Death Prince ending tbh

I believe somebody mentioned above that she's using oniisan, which is not exactly he.

How exactly is that not exactly "he"?

how exactly is that "he"? :)

As said above, it's an address to an older boy. Only.

If the author had wanted to stay ambiguous about what gender she thought Mizuki is, they would have used "that person" (ano hito), "that shop attendant", or something neutral. Japanese can go a long way without mentioning the gender of who you're talking about.

Here, clearly, she thinks her "oshi" is an older boy.

Technically "Kare" would be closer to "he" but, as that can also mean "boyfriend" in certain contexts, it's likely she feels too shy to use it

Onii-san is used more like "Young man" when referring to someone outside your family

But she calls him "Onii-san" (big bro) so she still believes it's a guy.

If I am not mistaken this also means she thinks "he" is older, which is fun. I wonder if she thinks he finished school already?

Yes and no. Onii-San is often used, even by those older than the person, as a way of saying "Young man"

^Okayu means "Rice Porridge" in Japanese
She's trying to do a double meaning

Afterwards, she had an absurdly substantial day off.

This feels like a euphemism.

Yes

The day this collab happens is the day I shove a fistful of chili peppers into my mouth and punch someone's throat

Miss... The day they decide to collab is the day I put you in a prison

Ladies, this is a Denny's

Mou means "also"

You're thinking of "mo" without the "u", which means also/too.

Good point. looking it up, it seems Mou means "still/already"

So the literal translation of the sentence would be closer to "The Me who is still one" or perhaps "My still oneness."

Kind of awkward to translate, so I see why they went with "Other me" but I like the sense of unity in the Japanese version

nah you just missed one of the meanings of the word

Ah, I see, thank you
Which translation dictionary is this? I'd like to leave a bookmark

WildChild Gura is adorable
I feel like Ina is a little too nonplussed though, Would have liked if she had one of her trademark awkward smiles xD

I loved the yugioh og reference at the end.
Yami Teruko best girl.

For all you weebs/pronoun fanatics, Taiga calls Teruko "mou hitori no ore" where as Teruko calls Taiga "mou hitori no atashi". (Alas, no AIBO).

"Mou hitori no ore/atashi" means "Also the one me," so it makes more sense in this context

It means "The other me".

No

Mou means "also"
Hitori means "one person"
No idicates a descriptor
Ore/atashi means "me"

Literal translation "also the one me"

And that's different from "other me" how,?

I don't know, ask the person who tried to correct my translation

I feel like "also the one me" is more of a statement that they do not see each other as separate "other" people, though

Damn, this girlbis giving her a love letter, a valentines chocolate and a scarf. She goes all in, apparently

Meanwhile, tall girl is apparently so used to getting chocolate that she brings shopping bags to carry them around in, but is still shocked by this offering

So either Tall already had a crush on her or Short is much more forward about this than Tall is used to. Either could be an interesting angle for a story

You'd think there'd be more HoloID yuri considering they have Ollie

I'm surprised Dynasty of all places would have people who talk down so much about sexually active women.

It’s really just a few random trolls—another one just showed up in the My Mom’s a Superstar forum with pretty much the same misogynist nonsense.

I figured
This is definitey not a community I get misogynist vibes from

Also, that sort of nonsense is not known for it's variety lol
Pretty one track people

Tontong's mom was very practical about the whole thing imo. I feel like allowing a bit of distance can be healthy at times and delaying the relationship a short time until strict mom's threats have fewer teeth and they have education stuff in order just seems like good planning

Yeah, Index just seemed to keep getting darker and Touma had it pretty rough. The fact that he never had any powers beyond a very limited ability to prevent others from using theirs led to some very creative fights.

I much preferred the tone of Railgun, though, as it shifted sometimes quite rapidly between fun and happy and horrifyingly dark, which really helped against darkness fatigue and made the watch feel more worth it

I feel like for mom to be that upset she must be a closeted gay, herself. I wonder if that's the twist that's coming

People that cute can't possibly be girls! xD
