Ruruka having game kinda pisses me off

I come back to this every so often. If I were to describe Rihito Urushino's oeuvre it would be "gayest thing ever but goes nowhere."

I've seen strangers start up conversations with each other twice and been talked to thrice in all my 5000+ hours of riding the train.

I don't think I've ever seen "poêlé" on a menu before. Like yes, we know you cooked it on the stove. Like you don't normally see "en plancha" on a menu either do you?

Idk how liking idols = pedophile but whatever.
I love the art style

They're grade schoolers. (Which means under the age of 12.)

I just out laughing when dude turned out to be a lolicon LMFAOOO

one of the most unexpected plot twists i've ever seen. i feel like i will remember it to my dying days

real.

I forgot how funny this oneshot was. I'm surprised how clearly I remember it even after three years.

Holy yuri! Angst!! I love this series so far. Now just give me a happy ending and I'll cry tears of joy.

Does this count as CompHet? ( Respectfully just wondering)

Dunno if there's even yuri here. Maybe yuri crush on the part of the yuki-onna.

Now Riko's former classmate has to come back for spice and drama.

Technically speaking, as humans are currently driving a mass extinction event that would actually work...

From the comment section I did good getting out early (see the 15th message on page 1).

regarding chapter 133,
that's pathetic

There's an ongoing Sargent exhibition at the Met that was really cool.

Noko no Tabi? that's the title of the book she recomended. See, Airi is an otaku of culture! No wonder she couldn't get along with glasses guy.

Yeah, the Kino no Tabi reference is peak.

This is so good
Feels like the type of romance you’d see irl
OL yuri is so good
Most ppl don’t understand that the majority of people who smoke started or only do so for social reasons

I think it's the other way around, most people know that smoking is bad but started because they wanted to fit in or thought it was cool, or were curious about it. That's exactly what they teach in school. Same thing with vaping

Isn't that what the person you quoted said?

Honestly didn't expect the tutor to have actually done something to her. I wonder if it's a serial thing or if she got found out and ghosted her because "it'd be for the better" (which might leave the avenue open for her to reappear as a dreaded love interest of the past...)

When I was reading comments in the earlier chapters, I was always wondering why everyone thought something didn't happen. My assumption was always that it was exactly like this.

Most psychopathic behavior we've seen from Hinami yet.

Also, that's savage upstairs.

Really cooking with the volume covers.

the uh.. details though

Impressive, if true. :D

Nah, that password would take only a couple minutes with a dictionary attack. Super weak password.

The whole game development part is too unrealistic, this ain't it. Suspension of disbelief can only go so far.

Did the scanlators originally have the impression that it was yuri before reading ahead and finding out that it was het?

Yeah, the tags changed.

I feel baited :'(

Real^

Had a small laugh seeing the tear on the marriage registration at the end.

These are clearly gnomes.

Exactly! It does seem like the author has mixed up a bunch of things, there's some element of household spirits in them. Something like the wights 'vættr' in Old Norse, and 'wicht' in German, all cognates. If you remember The Elves and the Shoemaker, from the Grimm stories, the 'elves' in the story fall into the above category. Gnomes fall into the category of nature spirits, so this is quite the mix-up. I do hope it's intentional and not like the rest of the Japanese butchering of Western folklore which is, howbeit, quite entertaining.

How do we know all those accounts are the same person? It seems like two different people to me? 'Cause if they're the same individual that would be crazy. Also, this is the author of Witch Guild Fantasia which was ... underwhelming tbh, and got axed before it could live out its potential.

I must say, this story is so American it's pretty incredible a Japanese mangaka can depict it so powerfully. Haven't seen anything like that since Stone Ocean...

I'll be honest it comes off as more British to me. Lot of coal-mining there in the post-war period, and they'd be more likely to call Russia "easterners" than Americans would.

At first, I was looking at architecture for clues, but thankfully there was something easier. http://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/walk_wit_me_first_part#25 I'm not an expert in 20th century newspapers, but I'm not sure a British front page would read "Pitt Beats Trojans 20 to 14", "(Bob?) Turley Today in Third Game of Series", and what might be "Teamsters Elect..." Of course, we never know if the author just put random english text in there, but I'm inclined to believe this guy put serious effort into depicting a specific time period. Whatever the case, the themes covered seem applicable throughout the world (and throughout time).

I think the mangaka just peeled a whole newspaper page off of an archive. The game between USC's Trojans and the University of Pittsburgh Panthers happened on October 5th, Sputnik was launched on October 4th. The one car I recall seeing looked like a Volkswagon? Not very common in the US at the time. Also you obviously couldn't see Sputnik's launch from the states (or from most anywhere honestly). The Korean War was mostly US involvement, but there were some English ground troops involved. Some French troops as well, not really any others. It feels very British for some reason, but I think it is meant to be American.

Edit: Okay, nobodyJones did the much better job sleuthing around. Even identified the newspaper. I agree with their assertions.

Love the art style, find the prose a bit too awkwardly florid.
