Aya has some pretty serious self-esteem issues, doesn't she?  She's always managing to deflect the situation into being because of a perceived flaw in herself, or some mistake that she made. It's really sad.

Revealing that she knows he has a crush on her would lead to the question of "how?" and she might slip up and oust herself. This also feeds back into her being just really passive on most issues, like when she wanted to keep the cat but couldn't bring herself to ask.

Mental health issues are hosed up, and make you doubt seemingly obvious choices, believe you don't or can't deserve the things you want or cause so many other ways of messing you up.. Throw on top of that Aya's a teen, the most complicated time of her life so far, and she's been emotionally and socially stunted due to her telepathy. Basically, this feels real as gently caress.

I don't think she is super comfortable instigating his lewd thoughts, (or has come to terms whith that it's her own lewd visual imagination).

SatansBestBuddy posted:She doesn't want people to know she can read minds. People who know her also are painfully aware of this -- Mana totally got pissed at her for being so passive. I guess that lesson hasn't quite stuck yet. Also! You kind of have to wonder if like it'd really be all that bad if Toda learned about her power. Like it could be awkward for a while, but Mana found out and it just became another dimension of their friendship. Of course, the whole comic's premise kind of revolves around Aya's huge issues and complex about her power, so I think unless it's close to being wrapped up, we've still got a long way to go before she tells Toda about it.

I'm kinda wondering how hooking up would even work for someone in her position. Seems like it would be extremely weird/awkward to constantly hear your partner's thoughts.

Maybe that long hiatus was for them to work on ways to not let the series peter out like so many other "hey I started this series with a WAAAAACKY PREMISE but have no idea what to do to continue/eventually end it satisfactorily since I didn't think beyond the premise", I can only hope anyways.

Sheerly out of curiosity, how many people in this thread watched Kotoura-san? It's more or less the same premise of involuntary telepathy on the part of the female lead, and it's surprisingly nicely done.

I think I have a post in this thread about Kotoura-san. Let me try to find it. Edit: Apparently not. Anyway the gist was I was incredibly apprehensive about reading Mousou Telepathy because it has exactly the same premise and I was super skeeved out by the grandpa character.

Yeah, minus the grandpa character I really liked Kotoura-san. I'd still recommend it, just with the warning to pretend the grandpa character doesn't exist for half the time he's there (which unless I'm misremembering he's not onscreen much, so it's not a big loss).

Now call each other at the same time and get busy signals both ways. Oh wait, this isn't 1997... I sort of remember Kotoura San. I barely remember that there was a grandpa, so mission accomplished..? What I do remember is that there were enough perv-tastic scenes to prevent me from recommending it to anyone, but that the first episode was basically one long joke that hit really well about half way though. In fact that's how I would characterize Kotoura San, it was full of longish sections of bland to bad high school anime nonsense, punctuated by jokes or scenes which hit way above their weight class and had me laughing for like a solid minute. Mousou Telepathy is consistently way better imo. It doesn't randomly critical hit with it's jokes quite so severely, but it doesn't drag either.

Cept the grandfather, best to ignore that, but he doesn't really appear that often. Though Kotoura has a bit more emotional whiplash then Mousou does. Lots of empty eyes and scornful looks. I'd still recommend it.

It's more or less the same premise of involuntary telepathy on the part of the female lead, and it's surprisingly nicely done. Well given the last couple of posts I decided to check it out. That first episode had a pretty bleak opening and the story has a very different execution despite the overlap in concepts this one is far more wacky. I'm not sure if this is going to be addressed either but my biggest question is; why did Koutora never develop a filter between what thoughts she hears, and what she tells other people? I thought that made perfect sense in MT with Aya to just withdrawing from social interactions without tipping her hand once she had a few events where her telepathy caused friction with others. Especially at a young age. But Kotoura just kept going with it to the point that everything collapsed around her as more and more people distanced themselves away from her and her insight. And the fact that apparently none of these doctors concluded that she could read minds also bothered me. It's not like it's a bad setup at all, but I'm curious how this will pan out. And what is up with Muroto's face? I've seen that sort of number three (3) mouth on the character from world trigger but I don't know what expression that's supposed to mean?

She did stop, but she was still in the same school as some of the kids in elementary school and they didn't let it go. She's in an entirely new city for high school now, but she's so withdrawn people still think she's a weirdo and avoid her. I think the 3 mouth is usually used for pursed lips, like pouting, being upset or kissing? I'm not sure why Muroto uses that expression so much though, probably just something the artist liked.

Brought To You By posted:That's just the thing, when she transferred schools she keeps telling people their thoughts. Right when the class rep and her friend walk up she rebukes them both for what they are thinking and in the second episode the whole reason the ESP club sought her out was because of the rumors circulating about her mind reading. That's a good point, I'd forgotten that bit. Maybe to her thoughts sometimes sound exactly like the person talking.  Hodgepodge posted:It's a cat face, from the That's when the 3 is lined up parallel with the eyes. Muroto's mouth often looks like a 3 perpendicular to the eyes.

Regarding being bad at being a high school psychic, 1. Teenagers can be dumb (we've covered this,) 2. Highschool can already be rough without adding extra hurdles 3. Are there even any role models for how to be a psychic? Did That's so Raven ever get a Japanese dub? 4. The personal growth associated with figuring it out is the main plot I had to look it up, Muroto is the Case Closed looking dude. The fishy lips go with the opaque glasses, which are a bit easier to figure out. I think they are supposed to be a blank, poker face expression. You can't read it. You can't read his poker face Also wow I forgot how much more Kotoura is a drama than a comedy. My mind must have done a serious oyster and pearl routine with all the suffering. Maybe it's the whiplash from drama to comedy and back that I'm remembering.
