But you see, a Chuuni sounds endearingly annoying like the kid who believes he's the Chapter Master of the Blood Ravens. While a tumblrite sounds like a person who has no idea what politics and common sense are.

That actually fits under the definition of Chunnibyou as well, at least when it was initially used. Although the Chuuni show seemed to popularize this specific interpretation, it covered all manners of "kids being dumb kids."

So yeah, tumblrite works perfectly.

Yeah, you're right. I am going to blame my not picking up on that on having just woken up. I suppose the "distortion of history" means she's going to be there to make sure that the future where she exists happens by getting Kuromine to hook up with a specific person. Poor Aizawa is going to have one more obstacle :(.

It sounds a lot like Tadashii Kodomo no Tsukurikata, where a guy from the future is trying to ensure the MC gets with a particular girl because if he has kids with anyone else, a death virus will wipe out most of mankind. Maybe instead of a death virus, Kuromine infects the world with goofy smiles. :allears:

Yeah, that bit was really funny. Also they didn't translate it, but the sound effect they showed as the girls were leaving was "とぼとぼ" which means they were tottering away. They were so freaked out they couldn't walk straight.

I'm a bit surprised they went with Rin being his granddaughter. That's close enough to him that she definitely knows who her grandmother is, especially with him still alive and all.

Well, it seems like anything below the skirt wasn't shown before the reveal. And the panel borders cut off the view from behind, as well.

The only thing that makes sense is that Asahi was mostly hiding behind, and going by what he said, his head was under the skirt, pinched by thighs. ("I was startled when you pinched me with your thighs though...") With the grandkid being behind Asahi, unseen somehow.

So I guess no one bothered to look down, and see both of them hiding. Mikan especially looks like she would have been able to see.

One thing I can't figure out is where the hell Asahi's head is on the reveal panel. As far as I can tell, it looks like Asahi was drawn last, since it looks like he's over the skirt but also not. Or it could just have been 'invisible' so that we can see Asahi's head. Unless he had his head poking through the entire time, which is actually kind of hilarious.

And I just noticed Rin is looking up in that panel.

That last page is probably one of my favorites so far.

Also, previous to this chapter, I had this small fear that maybe, just maybe, this would lead into some big, dramatic arc and there would be more focus on drama than comedy

but no, no :allears:

It's just kind of silly that Asahi had space alien student class rep girl as one of his imagined potential "grandmothers", because of how impossible it is.

The emphasized "Dumb" is basically the most accurate possible description of this series. It's also good that it looks like Shiho will be getting a rival of sorts, as she has generally felt kind of disconnected.
