Stupid. She’s tough so she’s not a girl but she loves sweets so she actually is a girl. This is the logic of the deranged and neurotic. I love food and cooking as much as anyone but personally I’ve had enough dessert. When the manga girls are eating headcheese and offal, I’ll be interested. Conservative censorship, otaku fordism, and gacha mindsets have created a vacuum of creative intrigue. The artists with an appreciation for the eroticism of liberated young women railing lines and having affairs no longer find an outlet in manga. We desperately need our delinquents back. 90% of new releases are the fantasy of people who both fear and shun the DoorDash courier and all the world they cannot see from their gaming chair. And oh, she’s a violent gang leader who secretly eats pastries all day and mostly just accosts street artists minding their own business? She’s a cop

The best thing about this manga is that they’re teenagers who feel like such inscrutable outcasts because they like the most middling mainstream rock music imaginable. which is pretty real but they’re also Japanese teenagers and I’m hungover stupid so I don’t know maybe they are actually on the cutting edge. surely it takes balls to sing a song in another language at karaoke. But it’d still be funny if they got found listening to I don’t know fucking clocks or something and everybody in the class was like “sweet. Love Coldplay”

Prez should’ve popped a quick H on that box so everyone would know what’s inside

Personally, the fact that japanese authors could, and have, written something like this completely straight without the slightest socioeconomical consciousness is... ...
here, modern Japan, the political-technological elites, called the "backbone" of the country, send their daughters to a private school where they act and dress like idealized 1600's european noblewomen, in order to become "noble ladies", and the mc even says she was a fucking "commoner".
This kind of stuff makes me just about as angry as boys in manga make people in comment sections of het tags, and I hope that these girls smash more than just their private music sessions together, show how fucked up these premises are, but they probably won't.

If this comic book about lesbian guitar foreplay got into real issues like historical materialism and the use value of a broadcloth maybe then Japan could have a dictatorship of the proletariat

I’m glad the maid stopped being a class traitor

Kaoru is best girl, so she’ll probably lose the MCbowl, but no worries… She has already won in my heart
