That was like watching a destruction derby. Just one crash is majestic enough. But then they add more. And then another. And then another. And it just keeps getting better. Your heart pounds, your adrenaline skyrockets, and when you're done you realize you just witnessed something amazing.

Fixed for the best Kuromine.

Also on reread I just noticed Ryou's antenna color at the end. :ohdear:

Holy crap, I didn't notice either. This chapter is absolutely fantastic. The comparisons to last chapter, the reactions, everything. Shima is the best worst character.

This has to be the peak, that was some goddamn high art.

"Ah, who cares about that! Love knows no gender!"

"While gender might not be an issue when it comes to love, the main problem here is that[...]"

That was a surprisingly progressive little tangent.

Also, Shima's the worst. Even the background characters know this.

I was surprised by that little aside as well. Not something I really expect in manga, but it also makes a lot of sense with Kuromine trying to remind an off the rails Nagisa about whats going on here. Its nice that they played up the dramatic irony of the situation.

Also a good portion of them are very biologically different species. Completely different cultures and gender concepts. They are like the most tolerant group of friends ever.

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.

You can view it as character development. He's had to get so good at lying as a result of all the things that go on around him.

But that's not so much that he's surrounded by aliens and vampires and demons, and more the fact that he's surrounded by people who are dumb but cute. Everyone can believe the latter.

I know this may be shocking to you, but Monster Musume isn't actually that bad if you're not averse to anime titties.

It's basically Tenchi Muyo with monstergirls and copious amounts of wardrobe malfunctioning. It's actually pretty funny, too.

It does get rather risque around Chapters 20-something though, so be warned. But yeah, while it isn't as funny as Jitsu Wa, it's good for a laugh now and then if you don't mind the fanservice.

I LITERALLY DON'T KNOW HOW TO NOT BE A WEIRD SEXUAL CREEP ABOUT PREPUBESCENT ANIME GIRLS, READ ALL ABOUT IT HERE!!!

Like others have said it's got a lot of fan service but it's also pretty great at the comedy thing. It's sort of silly and childish that people get tied up in knots about sex being a subject that can come up in anime, it comes up all the time in other media and gets way more leeway there than it gets here for some reason. Sex and eroticism is frequently funny, deal with it.

It seems more and more that it isn't that he can't lie, it's that Kuromine has a horrible poker face and/or is a bad at lying. I think I took it wrong the first time reading it thinking "can't lie" meant something like the movie "Liar Liar". If you just take it as him being a bad liar, then it's still there as a gag, people suspect he's hiding something, they just don't know what, or think it's something else. But recent chapters have been focusing on actual character growth, so I suppose it hasn't actually come up too often as of late.

And also several of the truths that he'd be -trying- to lie to keep are so out there. I don't think that anyone that didn't already know would believe Kuromine if he admitted that the school principle was this tiny horned girl who is also a candy-crazed demon of incredible power.

I don't think that anyone that hasn't experienced the terror of Akane would believe anything but that he's finally taken his first baby steps into being able to actually lie with a straight face.

Come to think of it, when has he actually had to lie? As in, when was it important that he did? As far as I can remember, he hasn't had to lie since the earliest chapters except to cover up his feelings, and those were to Youko and Aizawa, who are the epitome of cute + dumb.

Alpha Kenny Juan
Apr 11, 2007

Nobody knows that Youko is a vampire except those who have secrets themselves and Kuromine, I'd guess. :shrug: The fact that Kuromine knows and doesn't tell anyone(mainly her dad) is the main lie.

e: my edit made no sense.

Perhaps we're taking "lie" in the wrong context. Not so much that he has to lie, but that he has to keep a secret. Bag with holes and all that, you know. But there has been a few times when he's tried to obfuscate something, by trying to explain something away, and it just makes other characters suspicious of what's going on, or (usually with Mikan) misinterprets the secret being kept and jump to the wrong conclusion. I think the best, most recent example of this (that I can think of) was when the other girls found the class rep outside her body in the hall and Kuromine had to rescue her.
