So you think, but that's premised on a number of specific subjective interpretations and assumptions about the story.

Which is my entire point: it's what we have. And unless there's specific word from the author, it's all we have, so get used to it.

You missed the central operative word "subjective" methinks. The particular set your take is based on is by no means self-evidently supported by the text and certainly not the only valid one.

Without delving too much into the long list of alternatives I can think of without too much trouble (because I frankly have more interesting things to do atm) I'll just point out one example of what really should be a rather obvious problem point you're quite arbitrarily bypassing in its entirety - on what basis do you assume "normal" baseline human psychological and behavioural norms are directly applicable to something like Angela who explicitly isn't anything of the sort, and whose inner workings and thoughts (nevermind underlying motives) are presumably deliberately left as mysterious to the audience as they are to the MC? What little the narrative gives us to work with already indicates her priorities and values are quite different from the implied "human norm".

I'm pretty sure if the author saw all of our Wild Mass Guessing and kitchen-sink amateur psych, they'd flash a Slasher Smile and mutter "all according to keikaku" before ostentatiously eating a potato chip.

Two appeal to authority fallacies in the same sentence. Very impressive.

So much woosh.

"I don't actually have a comeback to being called out for my bullshit, so I'm just going to act like I'm superior because you didn't get my 'joke.'"

*sigh*
Okay fine, let me get the crayons so I can draw you a more easily digestible version...

Short form: it's hardly unusual for authors to create works with complex and divisive themes without providing any easy answers to the same, thus leaving it to the readers to draw their own conclusions and interpretations (and argue over those if they're so inclined).

This work rather looks like such a case, which is what I was alluding to but you apparently decided to read as some kind of personal offense. ┐( ˘_˘)┌

B-but Maria is overflowing with PLOT isn't she? ( • )( • )ԅ(‾⌣‾ԅ)

Spam moar 4-8 (which is also the one stage that can drop Pentahydrates to boot), that's what I'm doing atm o3ob

...gotta do SOMETHING with that pile of Sanity Samplers that expires today >_>

What you doin' out here with all this ass?

Alerting the guards with the clapping of her dummy thicc buttcheeks, probably.

^pretty sure that's symbolism and nothing to do with physiology...

^that's not really how serpentine anatomy works. For starters they don't have a "pussy" to begin with, but rather the usual all-in-one-solution cloaca...

So some people think it's fine to cripple someone as long as you're forgiven?

Not sure if strawman or just clumsy hyperbole...

The setting is bugnuts crazy nonsense as usual for the genre but narrative ain't half bad for that context and the art is good civilisation, so into the list it goes =3=

suddenly Matsumoto

It's an abnormal relationship in a particularly literal meaning, after all :v

This has probably already been said before but, Gundam on Dynasty?? Wow crazy times.

Conclusion obvious; Gundams are gay o3o

FWIW the MC seems pretty shocked and appalled by (and apologetic of) what she did, plus doesn't seem to even really know why she did it. Curiously it's like she's the one still in shock about the whole thing while Angela seems to be not only already over it (aside from being understandably a little grumpy over the whole "painful and scary as all fuck" part) but also gives the impression of having far better insight on the whys.

TLDR this manga is not for the faint of heart

...might want to see a doctor about that, I just get a "yay more of the good manga" response.

^ya. She about out-tsunderes the Franka-Liskarm UST act all by herself.

Secondly, how does one watch anime underwater?

Enough waterproofing. o3o

...or simply don't and watch it (or at least have the gear) on dry land instead; these things are clearly pretty amphibious. ┐( ツ)┌

I drop it.

We'll hold you to that promise.

Ahh yes French, the stand in for English when localising Japanese stories.

German would just make it seem like Nazisploitation porn, after all o3o

That's a thing?

Yes. IDK about your neck of the woods but 'round here Ilsa, She-Wolf of the SS is still something of an occasionally referenced running gag, in a "legendary turkey" way.

Also, doesn't Shirayuri kinda look like an older Yuzumori? It's not much of a resemblance, but I can kinda see it.

#TotallyNotAuthorAppeal

It portrays it a bit more like an escort service than your classic dinky brothel or street prostitution experience maybe.

Well considering those are the rock bottom of the sex-trade totem pole and only too often shade into flagrant human trafficking... yeah.

^"honest, officer!"
