hana is such a bro

Crossover with shinmai shimai at the aquarium ? XD

Another NoaxHinata chapter, we are blessed. I like Noa's crush, pure and innocent. I like to imagine they start dating in high school too.

My bet would be before then- some time in middle school

I was more reminded of Yagate Kimi ni Naru myself, to be honest, but the way they look at the fish as food certainly brings that one to mind as well. :D

Noa x Hinata is so precious! You are my hero Hana-chan!

Hinata legit denser than osmium.

I get you, Hana, who wouldn't fall for this? ^_^

that seems like it made hana's heart feel funny

The reaction she had right after that was priceless

The worst part of this manga is Hana and Miyako interacting.

This is quite literally the main reason this manga even exists...

That doesn't mean it's good for some peoples.

I'm fine with it. My favorite part is Hinata x Noa, but Noa and Miyako doesn't bother me, as long as it doesn't get too creepy.

I kinda agree, I absolutely don't ship Hana & Miyako, I usually don't have any issues with onee-loli, but this pair just don't click

My issue is how much of a creep Miyako is about it. The decision to lean in to her being a gross pedophile leering at a child who is blatantly uncomfortable strips away the suspension of disbelief I usually can maintain with this kind of age gap.

Suspensions of disbelief for what?

The decision to lean in to her being a gross pedophile

I always had trouble with the pedophile term here. Pedophile will imply had Miyako had sexual desire toward Hana, which is clearly not the right way to see the whole picture. The overall gross attitude come from the extreme passion of Miyako for cosplay combined to her fondness for Hana and her social akwkardness.

For a preteen being romantically involved with someone 5+ years older than them not being wildly inappropriate and predatory.

Nah. She's straight attracted to her.

You expect a serious and responsible romance in comedy manga about collage student lusting over preteen, where entire premise is based on the fact she's creepy af and preteen is grossed out by her behavior? I mean, in the very first few chapters Miyako buys Hana by offering her sweets, while manga acknowledges that's exactly the thing kids are supposed to avoid. If you still reading it after it with hopes for something wholesome, then I'd reconsider your approach to consuming media and what kind of expectations you have from it.

It obviously did, it's not the first time it happens either so Miyako has something that works here.

I love wholesome romance, pretty good.

Nah. She's straight attracted to her.

I just try to explain the gross part. Outside of the cosplay thing, Miyako's attitude toward Hana is more normal/shyness because of the fondness she had for Hana.

IKR?! Hana is falling for Mya-nee hard.

Btw, about the serious discussion that just started again, if you guys are so touchy about this subject, perhaps you should avoid manga with lolicon tag, just saying. xD

And when things starting to get good, Mya-nee always lets her pedo instinct gets the best of her lol.

Literally my entire point is that the main premise sucks and it's other aspects of the manga that actually make it worth reading. At no point did I express any expectation or hope that it was going to get better outside of those elements that I'm actually reading it for so I'm not sure where you're getting that assumption from.

Haps N'Year, Let's geddalong

I want their Mom to use me as a carpet while wearing that maid costume.

You want her to run a Henry Hoover up and down your back?
