The first, yes, but how could you forget Youko's flawless polymorphism?



I believe what he means is sequentially.

In that case, I believe he is correct. If we all read glorious nihongo and bought the tanks, we would have read this before that chapter.

Dammit Shima, just... dammit, Shima.

But yeah, considering the people Kuromine hangs out with, why can't he be a superhero? Surely Nagisa's got some power armour somewhere, or Akane could give him powers, Akari train him to become Batman etc.

EDIT: Or he could go along with Shiho's plans, and become a (the first?) male Charismatic Pervert! You can do it, Kuromine!

You remember back when the principal dropped hints about the great plan she was putting together?

In an attempt to get out of a visit to the dentist, but even still.

I wonder if this is it? "Make a transforming hero" seems like the perfect goal for the staggering amounts of power and not restraint that she has.

I really need to catch up on this. Left off around chapter %(-^), and I've just left it by the wayside.

On the other hand, this got an official English print, and I picked up the first volume yesterday! Hopefully the translation is good.

Finally got around to reading this.. I like the translation a lot! The only big complaint I would have is the translation of Asahi's title as "Holey Sieve" instead of "barrel with holes" or whatever it was. It sounds so awkward. and unnatural. There also was a translator's note for Mikan*, which felt a little jarring, but it wasn't outright terrible.

That's the point though, isn't it? To him, Youko isn't just "a vampire", and that's not just because she has a proper name. Basically I mean that it's not because he knows her, but because he, like, "knoooooows" her, maaaan, as a person.

I liked Asahi's development in this chapter a lot. It expands his characterization a little while still building upon his experiences in the manga.

Yeah, this is what I got from the principal's little test- he saw the mermaid as what she was, but Youko as who she was, and if Akane's trying to make a world more accepting of nonhumans (at least, that's what I think her Big Plan™ is), Kuromine could really help her.

See? I told you guys she was going to make him a superhero! :smug:

Other things way, way overused in manga:
  • Thousand-year-old demon in twelve-year-old girl body
  • Students who are actually monsters
  • Sexy girls giving boys nosebleeds
  • Love-struck girls going "Notice me, senpai!"
  • Middle-aged magical girls
  • Pigeons wearing talking glasses (seriously, that trope is everywhere these days)
... I think we'll be okay.

Seriously, it drives me crazy. Was there another group that did this at some other time, or did someone else just start translating more recent chapters?

Also, I can't believe how cute this manga continues to be. I'll always appreciate the non-cute one-offs, with the maid café being the high-water mark for me, but I just love how cute everyone in this thing is. Karen is the best.

Our old pals at 4chan got a bug up their butts because the scanlators were 40 chapters behind and decided to fart out the current chapter at the time to, I dunno, "show them" or something.

A similar thing happened with Tokyo Ghoul, but in that case a bunch of scanlators started desperately rushing to catch up and put out awful versions of like 20 chapters. I'm glad that didn't happen this time.

It did seem weird, since progress was actually getting made on Jitsu Wa. I enjoyed that 4chan helped get translations of Prison School finished faster, once the group that was handling it caught wind of what was going on.

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.

Pretty much but it's also important to note that it is incredibly funny almost all the time. I'm not going to try and pretend that it's sophisticated in any way but the humour wouldn't work so well without the outrageous fanservice.

I don't think any of you have seen hardcore BDSM, but we're here to talk about the world of idiots so...

I feel like the story is leading up to something about Yoko's lineage ruining her stay at school. Whatever ruined her father's stay at school is going to come up soon, I feel.
