The manga exchange being treated like some kind of illicit transaction was great.

Back in middle school being caught with a manga meant it would get confiscated.

Which was bad because most manga was borrowed from comic rental places and had to be returned in a few days.

From what I understand Japanese schools have actual "no manga or such in the premises" policies and of course given Sakie is a teacher it's doubly shady.

That doesn't stop kids from bringing in volumes of the newest Naruto or One Piece or some of Ito Junji's stuff or Vampire Academy, the Korean manhwa about a high school with vampires that somehow ends sorta like Part 2 of Jojo.

I volunteer sometimes at schools and most of the time end up at a library. At all the places near where I work they have sections dedicated to manga.

They brought manga to my secondary school on my 11th grade.

Incidentally, I started volunteering at the library on my 11th grade.

It's how I found Iron Wok Jan.

I really don't see any issues with that episode

I can see how some stuff is implied and it's a very good worldbuilding episode with sizeable yet subtle hints but I'm just here for the "monster girls are like everyone else except they overheat easily or have a removable head" hijinks.

I always see people in the manga section of my bookstores (b&n and borders) and I'm glad that any weeabo stigma that was attached to that stuff has reasonably dissipated.

Unless you're an older guy, maybe

Bah, even when I had access to Kissmanga and other manga reader sites that didn't stop me from reading Attack on Titan in a Chapters Indigo.

Is there some specific reason manga are banned from school in japan? Like i got plenty of comics from my school and i imagne these days you can get some dumb mangas there too. It can potentially encourage to read other material too, at least it lead to me becoming a heavy book reader.

I'm four episodes behind because this was played up like the WORST THING EVER but the skeeze concerns with Maidragon were on-point. Guess I'll watch this instead.

I had a shiver of horror when they showed Machi's sling over the bath. With the head tumble earlier it just made me imagine her hands being too slick as she took her head off the sling, dropping it into the water and in a panic slipping and falling on top of her head in the water, stunning her and causing her to drown.

That was a pretty neat episode. I predict that the vice-principal will interfere in their relationships and make everyone miserable.

I really wanted Takahasi to up and punt Machi's head through the window... it was in perfect position.

EDIT: So really, what they're saying is that when you look at Machi's head joint, the waves collapse and can no longer pass on food/blood/etc.
Wouldn't it be pretty simple to tilt her head back and set a camera to watch the bottom of her head as she swallowed something?

I didn't realize how tall Machi is until they showed what she'd like look as a normal human.

Yeah it seems pretty unsafe, just hanging there. They couldn't install some kind of basket for her head?

There is a cloth around her head that appears to be safety-pinned to the sling, so its probably safe.

Did I just say that out loud~~?!!!
I feel that the little coda at the end of this episode was another thinly-veiled nod to the feelings of some people with disabilities. I've read a poll or something somewhere, where a number of people who were blind, deaf, and so on, were asked if they'd want to give up their disability. Many said that no, they wouldn't, as it was part of their identity, part of who they were. The way that Takahashi thought that Machi would be giving up part of her identity as a dullahan if it were possible to "cure" her, seems to echo that sentiment.

Yea obviously the topic is very personal/debated in the communities but it's still always a little lame when the big 'moral' of things like this is 'and don't they all just want to be normal anyway?' It's kinda nice that the end of that train of thought was 'well, yea she could if she wanted to, and she'd still be the same person we love, but I don't think that's a thing we need to focus on'.

I wonder if the VP will intervene in grounds that he's getting to chummy with high school girls or that he's giving demis special treatment.

The VP will intervene because he wants to spend more time with beefy-sensei making him lift things and those girls are getting in the way, darnit.

And then the girls will retaliate by also getting beefy in order to spend time with him.
