I hope Asahi won't grow up to be a cowardly husband who constantly hides stuff behind his wife's back that he knows she wouldn't approve of! Both sending spies to keep tabs on their daughter and then going incognito himself and lying to her about where he's going, what a bad husband! :shittydog:

I knew it was coming, but they always get me with the execution. The gender-swap character thing almost lost me at first (especially since its been done twice before here) but they really use each one differently and he is just presented so matter-of-factly without a word of the usual dumb baggage that comes along.

I like that they are bringing their families in more. its the natural progression now that they are together.

Normally you'd expect a romantic comedy harem series to wind down or end when the protagonist picks a girl, but this hasn't lost any steam at all and the author is even using them being together as a new way to set stuff up. It's impressive.

That's because it's more com, less rom

The romance just provides a foundation for the comedy, rather than being the main focus.

That was loving amazing. I love the little details, like Genjirou doing the "covering fangs with hand" thing when he's trying to act girly, or the "it was a crowbar all along" that someone mentioned already.

Honestly, I think Asahi would be a slightly less, uh, sinister Touko, while Youko would be a nicer version of her dad.

Truthism better get a second and ideally anime season just because I want to see the current storyline and Genjirou's antics animated. If they only make a second and not a third, it'd probably just end right before things get REALLY stupid. And that'd just be a shame.

While this is true, the romance is actually really well done, especially the heartbreak parts. The full page of Aizawa's stricken look after hearing Kuromine tell Mikan that he likes Youko is sadgirl.jpg. Her later telling him "Please don't say anything yet, I think I know how it's going to go and I need some time to steel myself" is also a fantastic bit of characterization. Tiny alien girl can't catch a break.

I would have liked more of Genjirou making a fool out of himself in front of Kuromine and his wife, but karate-action Youko is cute and funny so it all worked out in the end.

I like that it looks like despite now having our canon couple they'll still be individual characters and (hopefully often) on their own rather than joined at the hip in every scene.
