i do think it kinda sucks that the girl is the one who gets a couple panels where she 'breaks character' and is vaguely demure and shy about it while the guy doesnt have any similar stuff. well, peace

i dont think the proper defense of 'this chapter seems a bit sexist' is 'sure, but im a racist!'

the japanese are people. there are plenty of japanese authors and works that don't play into those stock gender roles. likewise every country on earth has massive issues with gender roles and sexism. this response means literally nothing.

:psyduck: why on earth do people keep thinking in binaries? Are you saying that there isn't a tendency in Japan for women to be demure and such like that in sex? How on earth does saying that somehow mean that I'm saying every single person in Japan is like that no exceptions?

And please, if you're gonna respond, respond to what I say, not what you assume I'm saying.

That's been consistent across the whole series to be honest. The guy has no filter, she does.

im saying that tendency is mostly something forced on them by lovely cultural values and art doesnt have to play into it, lol

Exactly. It doesn't, but sometimes it does. The best we can hope for is a positive trend.

There's a new chapter of Destroy all Humanity, They can't be regenerated where the MC is really struggling with the concept of having a crush.



Also a reminder that Japan has always had weird commercials but now I know a bit more about pro wrestling.

I can't read that website on mobile apparently, but I take it by the series title and it having the literal BFM that it's a(probably sponsored/owned by WOTC) M:TG manga?

So weird to be reminded of The BFM, had a pair of those when Unglued was around like 20 years ago.

Yeah, Wizard sponsored an official manga done by Yokoto Takuma (Sesuji wo Pin, Shudan) and Ise Katsura; both of whom worked on Onani Master Kurosawa.

More Whispering You A Love Song out now. There's nothing here yet that I haven't really seen in other yuri pieces before, but the execution is so good that it's hard for me to mind too much. The whole thing is just ridiculously charming IMO.

Glad this is getting localized. I've probably posted about the scans before but it's really good IMO. Slow-burn yuri with a lot of the Iyashkei trappings of something like Non Non Biyori or Flying Witch. Extremely warm and cozy.

There was also the way out of it of simply Not having them change back ever and just deciding to live with it as they had been for years already, and falling in love anyways. There was absolutely no reason to introduce a contrived trucking to trigger a magical switcheroo out of nowhere. like if they'd gone with the former idea, gradually, I could see it ending pretty solidly although maybe not to everyone's tastes. But instead most people are just flat put off by the weird last second drama for the sake of it. It's a shame since the rest of the series was so good. It could have gently coasted to a slow, comfortable stop, instead the transmission fell off in the last mile before home.

The webcomic ending was bad and I'd still prefer a shlocky ending to it.

It's not a manga, but Go Get A Roomie finally got around to it.
