That object to me looks like an anomalocarid mouth tentacle thing. After the aunt found the not fossil trilobites, that's my guess.

Late to the discussion on the chapter, but I called it a year ago.

Someone get some peanut butter, stat! We need something to cut this insane amount of JELLY!

I know I'm late to the discussion, but I felt the need to chime in about Koga's intervention between Aya and Ono.

For context I watched something that was in regards to US and Japan differences in website design philosophy and how the cultural quirks define how things are designed, including food menus. To further explain how the different cultures figure out how to design these things the person talked about low-context and high-context cultures. In low-context cultures, for example if you have a noisy neighbor making noise at night you'd directly confront them, knocking on door or the such, and say "Hey, could you keep the noise down at night?". In a high-context culture, for the same complaint, you'd say to your neighbor in passing, possibly an accidental meeting in public or the like, something like "You have a good choice of music".

Because Japanese is a high-context culture Koga's question was perfectly fitting with how they go about these kinds of things. Tell the person in a way that isn't directly confronting them about the issue.

With MOTHER in all caps I knew it would be a reference but Mother Brain isn't what I was expecting.

Jenova, of FF7, not Mother Brain. Check the headband on the center face.

I choose to believe that her wings are real and that she's a cupid from Love Bullet

I think you also missed the second pair of arms, hahaha.

ARGH! We have confirmation on/from Ema, now we just need them to stop being useless!

Those boys gay, ain't they? I got a gut feeling. They just don't know the other one is yet. At the very least the light haired one, was testing the waters about potential crushes.

Still have my suspicions on this "Jaeyoung" person.

No one else gonna say how funny it is that Yuuri gonna become yuri? XD

I have to wonder, why was there a man with a handgun but also a sniper?? Like, how messed up is this warden?

Y'all keep saying it's the boob grab. OBVIOUSLY it was the bite that set it off. The visceral emotion in that moment of action.

I'mma claim my jar of cookies, thank you very much!

"A cat is fine, too"

Y'all complaining cuz there was nothing explicitly said in the last few pages, but literally the entire chapter was laying it all out that they will be romantic. They both want to not be apart, they'll be lonely apart, they long to see each other. XD

The webcomic El Goonish Shive had something vaguely similar.

Oh, hey, an EGS reader! Allo!

There's at least three of us here! (Probably more, if we're being realistic.)

Calling in.

The woman wanting to rise to the top can eat dirt, and I really hope we see her get fired or something at some point. She deserves less than nothing for subjecting our main duo to harassment, very likely including a lot of homophobia, and possibly destroying their careers and lives.

She was actively trying to get the man to not do this. She's not pure, but she's not the reason this happened.

Also, maybe the crosses they're all given (even the adults have one) are bugged, and that's how the school knows what they've achieved, and whether they're following their assigned roles or not.

Much like Santa and God himself, they're always watching. Always.

Allllwaaaaays

maaaaan, fuck those parents. shit parents. horrible. deserving of bad thigns.

that rain is confusing me

What'cha mean? Obviously it was raining inside, that's why her face was wet :)

I’m so curious if the other world mystery meat is even safe to eat? Maybe the Princess can eat human food fine cuz she’s super strong, but Ten is just a human.

Are there any diseases that exist on Lulu’s planet that’s already vaccinated for and stuff but can be deadly for people not protected? Is there new bacteria in the food that has the potential to make Ten sick? Is eating it raw even SAFE for a human

I’m pretty sure there’s cases where a whole group of people are wiped out because foreigners brought new diseases in— couldn’t that happen here? With the food especially.

On a less nit-picky note, I wonder what it tastes like? If food is prepared and plated to look pleasant on Lulu’s home planet too?

We have quite a few sci-fi stories that explore that, but in reality it's like a plant pathogen interacting with humans. It's not designed to affect us, so we don't get affected. A pathogen from a whole entirely different system of unrelated life would be astronomically low (pun fully intended). But also this is a fictional story so maybe we may see something like that.

The Doc bringing up Su and her situation seems a bit too meddling for someone just keeping an eye on a social experiment / product test. Methinks he's trying to help, hoping the sapient Gill is still in there. I don't think he knows she's still there, and she's keeping the ruse so as to not have the body scrapped.

Seems this "Rinne" is trying to do some sort of ritual.

Cute. Cute cute cute. All smiles the last couple pages.

wait this isn't 4 koma anymore

It still is, just that when major progress parts happen the author switches to the "standard" format.

If I had a nickel for every yuri manga about geting a girlfriend from space I would have three nickels. Which is not a lot but it's weird that it happened thrice

Is that counting the one with the raptor-like alien girl, with a long tongue and super long tail?

Not sure if that sounds scary or hot, both? lol

It skews nore towards cute, actually.

Ah ha, I think I know which one we're talking about

What's the name of it ? It sounds peak.

If I'm thinking of the right thing the others are talking about, I don't recall it ever being a full manga, more just loose pages of interactions. It was a roughly humanoid alien and her handler.

Pretty sure you are talking about ADA from Hushabye Valley. It has some solo artworks but also a actual story. But the artist has done literally nothing in the last year or so

Ye, that's the one. Hadn't kept up with it so didn't know there was a serialized one made. been a few years since i even thought about it.
