His buds, excluding Shima, really are pretty great, and I am 100% behind Oka and Mikan ending up together (and she doesn't seem too against it, either).

I also hope it happens and then we find out that Asahi being Rin's grandfather is actually not true at all and she got it wrong because she's dumb

Asahi and Youko have a kid named A. Oka and Mikan have a kid named B.

A and B have a kid named Rin.

Rin now has two grandmas, Youko and Mikan.

Or better yet, Asahi is not Rin's biological grandfather, he's just a 'grandpa' in the same way that Mikan is 'Granny'. Because it's just a nickname.

This is assuming Asahi does not actually marry Mikan in the end of course, which is something we still don't know for sure

This makes me wish I'd saved Yoko and Shiho's imagine spot of a rumor in later chapters. Just post it and 'this pic could be mostly right.'

Granted, the chances of that actually happening are lower than low.

You know, now that they're stupid money thanks to the Monogatari series, Madoka and Nisekoi (don't know if Nisekoi did that well regarding DVD/Blu-Ray sales, but if the manga volumes started selling like pancakes, then mission loving accomplished), I'd expected for them to start getting lazy with their equal parts goofy / artsy-fartsy style, but I'm still surprised that they're still doing the blink-and-you-miss-it jokes every once in a while, along with the architecture student's wet dream backgrounds.

I do, however, hope that the guys that did Love Lab and Nozaki get it instead of Shaft.

I must admit: I miss the old Shaft. I've always had a hope that they'd animate the last SZS chapters, given how they must have been in on that secret from the very beginning.

Oh well, the guys who directed Nozaki-kun are also good.

It's nice to see that Karen apparently took hiding lessons from Recette Lemongrass. And that she gets surprised by Yoko mid-dramatic monologue.

I mean, I'd be really happy if the author had them get together and it would be a nice change of pace, but really if less progression means more Truthism chapters then I'm ok with that.

Part of me thinks that the author should do this just to throw everyone a total curve ball.

But that's because I enjoy it thoroughly when a manga defies expectations and does something that nobody saw or predicted

This manga seems pretty good about drip feeding relationship advancement. It's spaced out and slow, but it's there. It's great how it gets put to use in the comedy too (icecreamine, the speedy pacification and drowsiness effector [SPADE], the fortune gods, etc.)

Next chapter is a pretty big milestone.

Also betting the same thing happened with her parents.

....and it will wind up being Asahi that bites Youko. Or if Youko does do the bite, the Gluttony Feather will make another appearance.

The title isn't too bad, it gets the premise across a lot better than a direct translation. Gonna be picking these up.

Yeah the title is way better than Truthism or The Truth Is I Am or whatever other titles people have come up with.

Guess I should do the right thing and import this manga once it's awailable, since it's likely never getting released over here in Europe.

Doesn't Truthism work on two levels though, with Kuromine's inability to lie?

No, Truthism is a stupid non-word and My Monster Secret is better. Not great, but better.

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.

I feel your Colbert avatar suggests you may be bias in this regard.

The new name is ok, but a little meh. Regardless, still buying. Sort of have to, honestly, considering how much I've read of it.

MY MONSTER SECRET works because it can either mean big or monster. MONSTROUS would work better on that regard but somehow feels more serious :v:

2016? They better do one heckuva job, then. I'm just happy that we're getting this officially released. I even like the goofy English name, because if there's something that this manga can use MORE of is goofiness.

Have we gotten word of a studio or anything of the ilk concerning the anime?\
