I'm sorry 😭
I wanna help but I would need an actual question.
Like with information in it.
Not just "What?".
What specifically are you asking?

I wonder how LGBT members feel about this word "normalfag" 🤔

I looked it up and I see there is no aspect of orientation with it, but even though I'm a straggot myself, the last syllable hurts a little bit just hearing my inner voice say it as I read.

Most of my friends are alphabet people but I have met plenty of really awful ones too, so I know they're not any MORE likeable than anyone else. They're the same.

That's just such a stupid reason to hate someone. And with SUCH intensity in some cases, omg 😧

I'd recommend putting it more gently, but yeah you're 100% right. Thats a normal thing for an artist. Nudity isn't inherently sexual.

I had to do a few push-ups and some shadowboxing to psyche myself up in order to be able say that third sentence. I know it's true, but I'm a degenerate freak, so 😅

I'd say more like bi-weekly at best. I'll never knock a scanlation team, they do God's work, but this one's less frequent than the others I read.

A little on the looks 🤔 A lot on the behavior 😅

Asuka lives in a dystopia though, so she has a lot of reasons to be unstable. Even the best characters in that anime are shitty people, but that's the point of the genre. "This is who you shouldn't be, and what you shouldn't do."

He's come a long way, but I think he's still more insecure and socially inept than most. He and Nagatoro are both in unfamiliar territory right now, and they never explicitly discussed their expectations for the relationship. There is a basic default template for monogamy but couples can set their own rules. Anything is okay if they both agree it is.

He might be expecting her to get more possessive, and/or underestimating her confidence. To be fair, Macchi shares his interests, he respects her, and she's also kinda sorta a smoldering hot bombshell that could make a white wall look like the inside of a kaleidoscope just from the heat haze. Jealousy would definitely be excusable.

Yeah, they are both in the wrong. I hope they own up to it. Jealousy is fatal poison, but suspicious behavior fuels it. It becomes a bit unfair to criticize someone's toxic behavior if you're contributing to their motivation.

There is a thought process that goes "I know I'm not doing anything wrong, but someone else might not see it that way." and it's legit, but there's no way to prove that was what you were thinking.

It can make someone think either that you agree with them that it's wrong and still did it anyway. Also there's a chance that you're underestimating how reasonable they'd be if you were straightforward.

If that's the case, they might think "There's nothing wrong with this, so why did they hide it? Maybe it's part of something bigger and there's another part of it that IS wrong."

These stories tend to focus too much on getting into a
relationship and never really teach young people anything about maintaining a healthy one.

I wouldn't be surprised if this one broke that mold.

She should. Maybe she got possessive? 🤔

Idk if it's as bad in Japan (I hope not, because this is poison) but in the US it's disturbingly common for younger people to think dating someone means they're gonna basically become their property.

Like they expect not being single anymore means they're never gonna post any thirst traps. Like they're suddenly not gonna want anyone else's attention even though the person who sets the expectation knows that their own mind doesn't even work that way.

I've read about people paying attention to each other's following lists on social media and breaking up over stuff they see happen there. Really as far as your chance at romance/sex goes, "shooting yourself in the foot", doesn't quite do that fuckery justice. More like shooting yourself in the knee.

If that's how their mind works, they're not mature enough to be dating. It's not fair to anyone, including themselves.

If it's the nude sketching thing you're referring to, that didn't happen at the high school. The sketch was in a tube because he traveled with it between then and when she found it.

The story often bounces back and forth without any mention/reminder of it, so it's easy to forget, but when the MC is with that group of other art students, that's a different place.

I can't remember the proper term for the facility, but it's something elective that people can sign up for that helps them get into universities.

Sunomiya is the only other artist they show that's also in the high school, which now that I see myself typing it, that's kind of an odd plot decision 🤔

Oof. Did they really use the word "consent" for that?? 🙁

I know it's basically the same as "permission" but since that's the word that's always used in very serious ethical discussions and stories about traumatic stuff, hearing it used in more mundane contexts irks me.

Like that person's tryna elevate whatever they're talking about to r-word level seriousness. Way too dramatic.

They might. I saw a spoiler of it on the last panel of another ongoing manga I'm reading. Really glad I read this chapter first. It had only been a few days.

Oh absolutely. I wasn't intending to contradict that, so I'm sorry if that's how it came off 🤝🙂

We've all been rooting for these awkward little derps forever. I damn sure don't wanna cause any negativity now of all times 😅

Bingo. The teachers are generally good people, some of the best people I've ever met were teachers, but they just don't have enough funding to do things efficiently.

When you can just hand everyone a book to look at on their own and say to write down only their answers to the questions, it's so much easier to learn.

But when there's not enough books the teacher's gotta write pages of it by hand, and without a printer it's gotta be on a huge whiteboard. Can't use the whiteboard for the lecture until everyone has a copy of the notes, so they gotta do that first.

Students gotta just hand write a bunch of text like a slow motion human copy/paste before they can even start on the assignment. They're already bored and tired before the learning part starts.

Sorry hun. I'm still adjusting.

These conversation phobias have only been a thing for maybe 5-10-ish years now.

When schools were effective you could pretty much just talk whenever to whoever, but now we got adults stuttering when they try to read out loud.

They're not even dumb. Or lazy. Just weren't taught right. Never had a chance. It's some babyback bullshit.

Well, think about it.

A drawing is nothing more than what it looks like. If I don't see a dick, there's no dick.

You could draw what looks like a cheeseburger and decide in your lore that canonically it's a painted turd.

I can only see it. I can't smell it or eat it, so why should I care about pathogens? I like cheeseburgers so I like the drawing. Nothing else factors in 🤷

Definitely 😳 Reona seems a little too chill and based to be Japanese, really I felt that way from the beginning. She goes straight for first name -chan within a minute of meeting someone.

That's my type of girl tbh but I know if I ever make it to Japan it's gonna be an adjustment because they don't like that, so I'm kinda surprised she's well liked.

I wonder if she's an immigrant. Iirc they showed her and Hanako training together in a flashback, but I can't remember how young they were in it.

Fr though, I snorted like a pig when I saw that. Nobody in this manga is anywhere near flat 🙄 Takae's probably a D at least 😆 I always misunderstood cup sizes until I met my wife even though I'd had other partners before but apparently tons of women are a higher size than they think.

My wife pointed out all this complaining about bras is warranted because it's a double standard, but it's kinda blown out of proportion becauae bras aren't the issue. If it hurts just to wear something, that means it's too small. My wife can sleep with a bra on, because it's big enough,

I'm guessing people wear sizes smaller than they should because they don't wanna be seen as dishonest when they say their cup size, because someone will call them out and be really mean about itl

We used to do SW together, so a lot of people have seen them and I remember someone being like, I almost wanna use the word "hostile" over this. I don't remember who it was, so a rando presumably, was like "That's not a fucking D. How tf are you gonna lie about that when you know I'm looking right at them and I see my own every day? I'm a D"

Iirc my wife said something like "Do you wear a bra for one work shift and already wanna cut it off with the jaws of life and throw it into a bonfire??? Okay then that means it's too small. I'm a D. You're an E or an F. There's 26 letters, not just 4." Oof 😵

It's also cute in its own weird way how on pages 2 and 4 that one crazy first year girl's default enthusiasm looks more like rage 😁

From the makers of Resting Bitch Face comes Resting Berserker Face 😄

Ehh, I'm not sure I'd wanna be much taller IRL since life is mostly mundane and I'm already bumping my head on cars and refrigerators when I'm not all that much above average.

In a fantasy world though, or even if I just lived a more dangerous lifestyle, hell yeah I'd wanna be ginormous 💪

Ehh, guns aren't easily accessible everywhere. That doesn't clash with the second part of your statement though.

And do remember not every violent situation is a fight to the death, and not everyone you fight is a complete scumbag. Usually someone's just being a dick, needs a reminder that they're not living in candyland, and if you don't do it, they're gonna think they're untouchable and be even more ruthless on the next person. And that next person might be a lot more vulnerable than you.

You can put your hand under someone's neck when you throw them so they don't hit the floor directly. You can twist someone's joint just enough to subdue them instead of breaking it. You can punch their liver instead of their jaw and it'll hurt like hell without stopping them from eating solid foods.

But you can't press a button and set your pistol to 10% velocity so it doesn't break skin. Granted it matters where you shoot them, but even if it's not a vital area it's still a wound. Plus gun crime sentences are pretty heavy unless you're a cop.
