Probably my favorite set of extras so far. Well done 👏🤝

Fr though. Fuck all this literary edging 🤦

Let us bust ffs.

(Bust out in tears of joy)

Omg I would kick their asses. Well, I'd try 😅

I'm not sure I get it. Is there something specific to them related to chimps? Or are we just worried the chimps will kill them and we'll never get any more Yupiel?

I done heard of a cliffhanger, but this is more like a gallows hanger.

(The implications being both that it's making me "choke up" emotionally, and that waiting too long is figuratively gonna kill me 😭)

Idk if that's a real term, but if not then it is now 🤷 I have spoken. 👨‍⚖️

Is that the slice of life genre version of the shounen trope where the opening/intro track starts playing toward the end of the last fight scene?

That shit is so poggers, I will never tire of it. It's like a non-sexual orgasm. My goosebumps could intimidate a porcupine.

Omg I would throw hands 😠 They won't reach the author, but it will be a very hostile gesture. I presume they'll understand the disrespect I'm implying 😤

Idk, I don't like it when we don't get much of a chance to see the characters happy together, but there's a lot of other manga I wanna read and I'm already reading 4.

Exactly. That, and it teaches the younger readers a harmful lesson. It seems to imply that a relationship is gonna solve all their problems. That makes flirtation and dating seem so much more serious than they need to be, and that makes it nerve-wracking.

Getting accustomed to stress is an important part of schooling though, so I'm kinda torn on that aspect of it, but it causes other problems too.

I'm not sure I understand this. They seem to be flip-flopping back and forth about whether or not it would be wrong if they kissed. Potentially compromising the relife project seems to be a separate matter. Is it that it wouId have been okay in a legal way, but not okay in a social/moral way?

I try not to make any assumptions, because I'm in a different country and haven't been to Japan. I'm a weeb, so I have learned some about their customs from anime/manga but idk if I would call a lot. Like idk how many other differences I haven't found out about yet.

The only times other mangas have mentioned adult/minor dating stuff, all it said is it has to be love. Like you can't just hook up. It said the minor's parents have to like the other person and approve of it. It seems like that would almost never happen, but again I try not to assume anything.

Hell yeah. Patience and ass-kickery are besties ❤🤝. "She looks slow" 🤦 Untrained eyes m8. Need more sparring partners. That's a big girl, but not a beach ball 😅 Lady's got tree trunks for legs. Stronk 💪

I oddly never noticed this before, but we don't really see the faculty much at all, huh? I can't remember any other ones. Not by name or appearance.

WOW, it sure doesn't take much to get you accused of a brother or sister complex in these stories. I hope that's just an anime/manga thing and that real Japanese people don't have to put up with it.

Idk, maybe the stigma on incest isn't all that severe there? That would be very surprising, since the culture seems to be strict about a lot of things.

In the US the stigma on incest is REALLY bad. That would be a very serious accusation here. I've seen people throw hands over much less.

SO charming! That plus the fact that she's not part of the harem makes me wonder something. This is uncharacteristically self-absorbed for me, but I've always thought if I ever published a story I might base one of the side characters on myself and see if the fans simp for them the way I do for Itachi.

I'd be happy to know my readers were nice people. I figure that if anything, they'd expect the MC to be based on me since I wrote the story, so like it would be sneaky 😁 I wonder if Itachi is the author.

I can't think of any moral thing that would violate. MAYBE toxic masculinity? I don't think so though. That basically just says every guy has to be a badass, but just because your girlfriend is a badass doesn't mean you're not 🤷

I think the only problem it could potentially lead to is an abusive relationship, but I don't take Itachi to be the kind of loose cannon who would hit her partner over just anything. It'd probably have to be something pretty bad.

Hi sex. I'm dad.
Well, not really. Not unless you count cats.

I had to scroll way too far down for that 😆
I was like there ain't no way I'm gonna be the first to mention this!!

That scared the shitake mushrooms outta me. As well as the feces. 😰😤 I figured it out almost instantly but for a second it was like when i check my pocket in public and my phone isn't there. Then I remember I handed to someone else less than a minute ago to show them a video or something 🤣

I just became VERY curious about Itachi's voice 🤔 Up until now I've been imagining a cool calm thing normally and a kind of animalistic growl when she's aggressive, but now idk.

Take a closer look at pages 18 19 and 20. On 18 the guy who's causing the trouble seems scared, which makes sense. Having been in violent situations involving groups, I've noticed you never really know how a friend will handle danger until they're in it. Even if they're athletes and confident, they may not back you up at all.

And even if they step in, there's also the variable of how hard they'll try and how easily they'll give up. On page 18 He's now touched three people, Aoi and Shouta have both shown their courage, so once he finds out Saotome's got a pair deep down too, it looked like a potential 3 on 1. Btw I suspect Saotome's balls are somewhere up near his lungs, but they exist 🤣

In page 19 he seems like he's regrouped mentally now that he knows his friends are stepping up.

BUT look at his fucking FACE on page 20! We know Itachi's presence is strong visually, some people just radiate that kind of thing, but she's behind him. He can't see her. Also he's never met her before, which means her voice isn't familiar. All he's reacting to is her voice, and she's not being aggressive. What does she sound like??

Idk, maybe I'm just entertaining myself. She also snuck up on him during an already hostile situation, and she's closer to his ear that unfamiliar people normally get. Well unless you're at a night club, in which case you gotta practically French kiss a strangers's ear while yelling about half as loud as you possibly can just to ask where the bathroom is. It's a miracle I'm not deaf

Wait, is he? 🤔 I thought he was gonna be, but it doesn't look like it. Is lolicon not a philia? I thought a lolicon was similar to pedophile except gender-specific and about appearance instead of purity/innocence.
What makes a philia different from a kink/fetish is that it's the only thing that works for the person. That's the only reason the words all have that same ending. If fetishes and philias were the same thing, every fetish would have a corresponding word ending in philia that meant the same thing.
If lolicon is a philia, he wouldn't be interested in anyone who doesn't fit into it, so I was predicting Chise would be a loli as an adult too. I thought the author wanted us to be thinking "Chise this is a stupid plan. He's not gonna want you anymore at that point" and be expecting a bad ending. Then the end would have a plot twist where she still looks the same, and it would all suddenly make sense, and unexpectedly be happy.
A pedophile can't get excited about anyone who doesn't seem pure/innocent, so lolis that act like adults wouldn't work. If lolicon is a philia, she would need to be a loli for him to want her. But if lolicon isn't a philia, then it would just be a fetish.
If it's a fetish, that means lolis are not the only thing they like. So I would still be a lolicon even though I also like girls who are built like Rias Gremory and also a few of the "death by snu snu" type girls? I'm not being defensive, I have no reason to. I've survived way too much stuff to be afraid of anything intangible like stigma. I just didn't think I was a lolicon. I thought it was a more extreme word.
It would be helpful if dictionaries FULLY explained things 🤦 Everyone looks at dictionaries. Not everyone watches documentaries and reads science articles like my dorky ass 🤣
