Reminds me a lot of the Namori oneshot about the girl compulsively pulling out her hair because she can't say no to her pushy girlfriend.

She could sell her futuristic panties to pay someone to fix the roof.

Doesn't the manager just have dwarfism? She isn't drawn like a loli at all. All the lolibaba stuff is just "draw a 10 year old, call them 46" but the manager actually has stocky little person body proportions. The bunny ear thing is a little silly but this isn't exactly a deadly serious drama anyway so it doesn't bother me much.

This is fucking stupid and I love it

I could have sworn, I read this story before.

It's old, it's from Parfait vol. 2 but it was never translated. Itou has been releasing all her one shots on Twitter and this was the latest.

I spell it as "sempai" because that's how it's pronounced. ん isn't the same as "n". The moraic nasal is pronounced differently depending on the following sound. Before the bilabial consonants, "m", "b", and "p", it takes the form of the bilabial nasal, "m". That's why "tempura" is the standard spelling, not "tenpura".

This is also why "grandpa" becomes "gramps" instead of "granps"

I dont get the last exchange- what does the taisho democracy have to do with the lighthouse proverb?

Probably the time period where the proverb originated from.

I think it's a wordplay of some kind. What does the original say?

I don't have the raw but the proverb is「灯台下暗し」literally "dark under the candlestick"

Definitely an older phrase than the Taisho period, I'm guessing it's a cliche teachers use to explain the period to students

The art and girls are adorable! Subscribed.

I hope the mute girl catches the yuri bug too

Isn't the thought bubble at the end of chapter 1 the mute girl thinking "I love her", and that's why the psychic girl is blushing, because that "throws her off"? That's how I read it anyway

I’m usually okay with Itou Hachi, and this one was pretty cute. But. I see no child there. She needs to talk to some real children [...]

I'm sure there's a court order preventing that

Love the Nightmare Before Christmas artstyle

What was the Chuck Palahniuk reference?

Or.... and I could be wrong here... OR maybe he, yannow, doesn't wanna dredge up old memories about his work that was canceled due to a scandal.....

According to Show's Wikipedia the only non-H manga he ever did was Prism. Stretch and Vampeerz are no where to be seen.

I didn't recognize the cover on page 1 at first glance, for a bit I thought it was Prism's. That would have been the perfect cruel joke.

That's because Prism is by Higashiyama Show while Vampeerz and Stretch are by Akiri, who is clearly not just Show wearing a fake mustache, but a totally different person.

It's a reference to Yotsubato I think

Also, why don't these vampire manga never have proper vampires? Walking around in daylight? Eating?! Come on ...

She doesn't even hop as her main form of locomotion, smh
