Okarun more Tenchi than Tenchi.

Is there a Japanese folklore thing about a dude who is just the hottest dude? Like, "all the girls end the world over him"-hot?

Because I'm getting the feeling that Okarun's gonna be his own final boss and Momo is going to wreck the earth for him and win.

Too many girls, but I'll tolerate it as long as it stays in the background (other than the main thing with Ayase obviously).

Imho there aren’t enough girls, every new girl is new weird/funny Momo expressions and brings her one step closer to just admitting she wants to date Ken Takakura.

Good news: the physical volume 1 just came out this week! Or last, but my copy just came in.

Bad news: there seems to be a printing error that has caused the last two pages of Chapter 4 to show up after the end of Chapter 5. Not the weirdest print error I've seen, but my copy has it and I've seen at least a couple other people mention it as well. Wonder if anyone here can corroborate.

guessing everyone here knew what was going on from the start, but the only question was whether she would fall for it or not. I like that she didn't and the spirit is super pissed now.

The series is hilarious but also genuinely horrifying a lot of the time, and this is one of them, that loving face is creepy as hell

I mean the whole idea of being pursued by a youkai that tries to get you outside by pretending to be a loved one is part of the story for the Hachishakusama, and this particular specter seems an amalgamation of three different urban legends. Those being the Slit-mouth woman, the 8 foot tall woman, and the last will probably be part of her defeat since Reiko Kashima is part of the TekeTeke urban legend. So odds are the girls will have to lure this thing to a train track to help remove her legs.

Of course she's not the 8 foot tall woman, she's, like, 50 feet tall :V

the difference is that it makes sense for girls to like okarun. he's cute and earnest and heroic. tenchi is a slightly damp cardboard cutout.

Yeah, Okarun actually has his own wants and desires, along with it being pretty clear who he likes, while Tenchi's just... there. Also, Okarun actually interacts with other guys his age regularly unlike Tenchi (unless that changed in later series).

If anything Okarun might be more comparable to Ranma, if you're gonna compare him to other classic romantic comedy protags

Tenchi had that one goony best friend in episode 1 of the very first OVA who is never seen again. That is also, not so coincidentally, the first and last time Tenchi is anything other than passive, and closer to a normal teenager who just wants to have a goof and sneak into places he shouldn't.

Honestly the rapid downspiral of the Tenchi series is concomitant with what looks very much like induction into a cult that isolates him from his former life. It even has its own heavily-armed compound and ends in a group marriage.

Turbo granny's answer to the phenomenal cosmic technology of "Going faster than me via Bullet Train" was "gently caress you I can still manage", so I doubt a big deal like Slit-mouth woman has failed to cope with the modern era.

The mangaka's definitely a fan of Ranma, so 100% possible. Hell, Okarun's already lost his junk once.

Tenchi as a cult member puts a pretty different spin on the series

Jiji rules. He's not quite my favorite character (Momo and Okarun tie for that) but he does, in fact, need to be present in at least 1/3 of all panels in this comic going forward.

Spoilers: Those aliens at the end are all in love with Vamola, and they see Okarun as competition.
