Never quite understood what was so titillating to people about a girl going to the bathroom and needing to animate her dropping panties to take a piss in a public bathroom. But everyone's got their fetish.

I read ahead a bit in Mieruko-chan and I see just enough of what people like about it to get annoyed, because through 3 volumes it really has shown some ability to do interesting and emotional stuff with the premise and there's a lot of really striking art, but even once the *super* uncomfortable horniness gets toned down, you still have to sit through a lot of pages where the only real joke is "Miko feels intensely unsafe (often for provably good reason!!!) and has to just sit silently and deal with it" and it's just....kind of a bummer? It's weird, I get why people like it but it often just rubs me the wrong way.

Isn't that the entire premise of the manga, though?

It's the default setting, yes, which is a problem since as I said it's kind of just a repetitive downer that makes it harder to get to/through the genuinely interesting story beats.

See, I had the opposite experience with the manga—I enjoyed the base premise of "Mieruko ignores ghosts even as they do terrifying things," which I found hilarious, but wasn't interested in the overarching story. Her unsafety didn't make me feel bad because it's a totally unrealistic kind of unsafety: the threat (supernatural beings) doesn't exist in real life and isn't obviously allegorical to something that exists in real life.

I mean the early chapter with the one that's just straightforwardly groping her friend and nearly does same to her is, uh

unpleasant, IMO

I agree; the sexual angle, where present, is uncomfortable and doesn't add anything. But from what I remember—admittedly, I'm working off months-old memories of the manga—it generally isn't present at all. For every sexual harassment monster, there are three weird ghosts, an axe murderer, a spooky demon, and a Dark Souls boss. For me, the bad apples weren't enough to spoil the bunch.

It's true, I love Sakamoto Desu Ga? very much.

I didn't make it past manga chapter 1 of Mieruko though, but that's just because I always nope out of creepy horror stuff in two seconds flat. The monster/spirit art is impressively unnerving.

I watched this partly to see how you sustain the concept of 'the guy is perfect' for that long but it worked out alright, at least as long as the anime went for.

Does Nagatoro ever move past the teasing and abusing of Naoto? I get that she's extremely anxious and can't express her feelings honestly which is why she bullies him but I dont know if I want to watch or read a series where that kind of relationship stays so toxic for the sake of laughs.

Got you with what? I really don't know, does she get less mean to Naoto or not. It's making me uncomfortable that the show is playing a lot of her bad attitude stuff for comedy.

EDIT:

Okay, so googling the author was a mistake. Yeah, this is a porn thing, isn't it. Or is this what happens when a porn artist goes legit.

I kind of liked vanitas initially because it did not really normalize how rapey that scene when he meets the giant claw lady was. It was just overtly bad and everyone in the show said how poo poo and awful it was. It was kind of refreshingly self aware compared to how rapey a lot of anime is like it’s totally normal and chill. Of course vanitas kinda ruins that good thing later on (imo at least) but I guess he’s at least still a piece of poo poo and the show really tries to hammer that home

Edit: only posting this here cause I didn’t see a thread and who wants to make a thread I mean really

I get it, porn pays the bills. It does explain a lot about several creators that they're writing and drawing one handed. Just not something you really want to google and find out in such an abrupt way.
