Hori has been abusive or wanting to be abused for a majority of the series. It's the worst aspect of the series and makes it hard to recommend, which is a shame because it's a really solid slice of life romcom where the two mains get together immediately outside of that. But then Hori intermittently busts out the "I want you to choke me" type of stuff and makes things uncomfortable.

New chapter of Destroy all Humankind and boy do I enjoy the chapters that really lean into the duels. Mill decks are annoying to play against but this card seems like a lot of fun to use.


On the B-side of the chapter, Hajime and Emi are having their own cycling adventures.

And Hajime still has cold feet about being honest with himself

Yeah it's pretty hosed up she won't seriously acknowledge it. It sucks if the person you're with isn't into what you are but either break up with them or acknowledge it ain't happening and stop trying to make it. :|

It's not fine because it's not just her kink, she's also abusive to others and not in the typical romcom slapstick way. I get having serious character flaws but not acknowledging them at all is bad.

Also yeah Miyamura isn't into it at all and she keeps trying to force it, which sucks.

It is really a weird tone shift when that aspect slips out and I hate that it's even in there to begin with, I don't understand the point of it because it feels like it's supposed to just be some kind of slapstick gag but it's not funny at all. However it's also a relatively small portion of the manga overall so I'm pretty comfortable just noting that as a flaw and moving on.

there are so many red flags that it is very clear that if hori and miyamura stay together long term, he's definitely going to suffer some dv.

yeah, it's a single, albeit ugly flaw in an otherwise fantastic slice of life comedy that also happens to have romance.

I'm conflicted since I like the art but it has the dumbest plot twist where it's a Rival/Ex-GF appears and I'm like what is this... how old is everyone?

They made Recovery of an MMO Junkie (Net-juu no Susume) an anime based on an online manga that follows a reclusive woman who goes into MMO-gaming after returning from her office job and meets new friends. It's nice since it starts out as strangers who end up dating at the very end and p calming.

New fukaboku (and according to the author, 3 more chapters). the rest of the resolution is still up in the air, but while I was concerned based on the raws, I think it handled the idea of generational lovely parenting about as well as it has other things.

Better to end too early than go on too long, but I'll miss it.

Been awhile since I read it, what happened to Mogu's friend who had issues with guys again?

I remember people theorizing she might end up with Mei.

"I think he's a bad enough person to stay ghost through his sheer love of child-killing."

I love Ikoku Nikki a lot but I wish the niece's depressed friend looked a bit less like the aunt. Sometimes I get confused as to whether I'm seeing an aunt flashback or a present day school scene.

Coaaab posted:

I'm sure it's intentional, yeah, given their character similarities and that the her male friend in the same class also looks sorta like Makio's on-off boyfriend. It's more that the story tends to cut between scenes or cut in flashbacks quite abruptly and it does so on a pretty regular basis. Like I get it, and I appreciate the character parallels, but it also means sometimes when the comic cuts to a scene of the friend it takes me a moment to figure out whether it's the past or the present in a way that is disruptive rather than particularly narratively interesting for me :shrug:. I'm not sure if that particular effect is intentional, or if I enjoy it if it is. I find it distracting from the more interesting things going on in the story.

I think reading one chapter a month probably doesn't help with this issue of keeping track of what's going on, tbh, so it'll probably be better on a re-read.
