Asako's mom is too hot, thought it was a big sister or something. Let's hope this never ends because these two are adorable.

The dad is hot, too. Normally, in these types of manga, fathers of people as old as Asako are drawn to look much older.

"And even for that do I love you the more.
I am your spaniel, and, Demetrius,
The more you beat me I will fawn on you.
Use me but as your spaniel: spurn me, strike me,
Neglect me, lose me; only give me leave
(Unworthy as I am) to follow you.
What worser place can I beg in your love
(And yet a place of high respect with me)
Than to be usèd as you use your dog?"

--William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night's Dream

Jeez, Xiao LuoLuo, get your Elizabethan English right. It’s “I shan’t disturb thee any longer” not “I shan’t disturb thou no longer” smh

Not only that but, in English, the second person pronoun (thou/thee/thy/thine) is actually a familiar or even impolite form of address, which makes it odd to use it in place of a polite form of address, which is what the translator's notes say they're doing.

An analogy I like to use is to think about sexual attraction as a vector. Vectors are mathematical line functions that consist of a magnitude and a direction. The directional component of a vector of sexual attraction is the person's sexual orientation. Strictly speaking, this is what the 'LGB' terms were originally used to be a catch-all to represent. The magnitude component of a vector of sexual attraction is the level of sexual interest you have towards somebody.

Pansexual and demi-sexual are terms answering a different question ('why are you attracted to the people who you are attracted to?') that is partially related. Lastly, romantic attraction/love are different concepts for the most part.

Clearly we don't have enough indices. Sexual attraction must be a tensor!
