Twiddy posted:Also man I am becoming intimately familiar with the first page of Chapter 132. Seriously, it drives me crazy. Was there another group that did this at some other time, or did someone else just start translating more recent chapters? Also, I can't believe how cute this manga continues to be. I'll always appreciate the non-cute one-offs, with the maid café being the high-water mark for me, but I just love how cute everyone in this thing is. Karen is the best.

I would rather slow-ish releases with decent proofreading than fast releases with first-draft garbage. Don't really understand why people get so impatient.

a kitten posted:My theory is that box-head girl is there to change the future to prevent the two of them from marrying. Presumably for some cute and dumb reason. I kinda hope that this is the case. That'd be pretty cute. I also like the idea of it being someone from this time (the uniform is the same), just bullshitting them and having no idea that anyone is a time-traveler, but I think that'd be a bit too much after being a cliffhanger.

I said this in a spoiler earlier, but I honestly hope it's someone from modern day who doesn't know anything about monsters or time travel or anything, and just likes Asahi. But being a dark Shinada future descendant would also be pretty funny.

dordreff posted:On the one hand it's cool to think of what a Shimada descendant would be like, but on the other hand, the very existence of one requires that Shimada at some point has sex with a woman which is a hosed up concept and I for one will not stand for it. Maybe they'd be mutually awful creeps that just happen to find each other. Or someone's guess of the box hiding a screw is right, but it's Ryo returned from the future, and is avoiding Shimada by putting a box on his head and wearing a different outfit. But it won't work for long.

Maybe seeing him triggered an emotion that would normally trigger when she saw him in her time, but couldn't process it right since he's younger and it didn't quite register the same? Also, she did hit on him by sort of outwardly attacking him, so who knows?

I thought you were saying there was a callback to an incident where someone wrote something on her using the sun. It was a clever reveal that it wasn't pen, but I wouldn't necessarily call it a callback. Either way, still a clever gag.

It's got a bunch of unnecessary swearing and an overdone accent from Yoko. It's not good. Please don't read it even if you want to see a bunch of chapters into the future for some reason.

Just use the accent from that 4chan translated chapter and have it be an overblown Brooklyn accent with a whole bunch of swearing for no reason. I'd say that you need to balance representational accuracy with how easy and pleasant it is to read. There's no 1:1 comparison, so basically whatever should be fine so long it's obviously different, but still readable.

It's hard for me to pick a favorite character in this thing, but Karen pretty much always guarantees a good chapter for me. I keep forgetting that this is a gag comic first and foremost, so I keep expecting different things from this manga since I'm reading Nisekoi at the same time. It's kind of refreshing to have a romcom manga be so silly most of the time.

Rodenthar Drothman posted:Yeah, Karen is def. my favorite. Yes, actually. Nisekoi has been a loving slog for awhile, and now I'm just waiting for it to end in some sort of sunk cost fallacy. Jitsu Wa is still genuinely entertaining, and is pretty well done with any sort of will they/won't they drama. Having the characters actually be together and having fun is great, rather than them trying to have fun and wondering whether the other likes them. Like, Lovely Complex is seriously one of my favorite romcoms of all time, and it's basically because the romance is solve early, and in a very satisfying way, so that it can just go back to being funny without having to worry about when they'll finally kiss or whatever. Jitsu Wa is basically the same thing, with characters that are in love accepting weird things about the other, but with a zanier premise and characters. e: I basically just wish more things were like Lovely Complex, and less like Love Hina.

Mors Rattus posted:I'm not sure I'd say LoveCom solves the romance quickly...but once it does, it's solved definitively and then keeps going into fun places afterwards. I watched the show before I read the manga, and IIRC, it's a done deal by halfway through the season, so that's pretty quick by anime standards. It definitely felt more drawn out in the manga, though.

JosephWongKS posted:EDIT: That said, it's surprising that (apparently) none of Karen's fellow students has tried to date or romance her over the years. She's such an angel, after all. She's not an angel, she's a demon! She's been asked, but the demon that she is, she is forced to break their hearts (gently, and then assist them in building up the courage to ask out someone else they like)! Seriously, though, she's been there long enough that she was friends with Yoko's parents. There's no way she hasn't been asked out before. I mean, poo poo, even Akari has a student who likes her. Xelkelvos posted:I eagerly await Shima's awakening into something that Shiho/Shiro finds endearing enough to marry. See, this was what I was thinking before the reveal at the end. I was thinking that she knew to react to him that way without having really met him because he was her grandfather, but by the end, that just sort of became a sort of horrifying concept. Also, has Momochi interacted with Mikan yet? Rin not recognizing Shiho basically means that she's not a grandmother to her, and Momochi not recognizing Mikan would basically mean the same thing. I honestly can't remember if they've actually met yet.

Boogaleeboo posted:There was a throwaway line in there that leads to the obvious conclusion of Shima being the werewolf that sent the message, and thus his girl side and her dude side being the ones that have a kid. It's suitably embarrassing enough to not want to talk about it to a kid in the future, still involves her and Shima, and maintains a pure timeline where Shima never really scores. But watch it be something even crazier. I'm just happy I'm reading something amusing where that premise could even be possible.

We were just talking about how good the faces in this are, and Shiho's nervous face in the beginning is killing me. This manga is so dumb and cute. Also, I'm not really sure how to describe it, but the idea of Shima not going for perverts would feel better if he were more likable, or maybe a pervert in the same way as Shiho. Instead, it just makes Shima come off as gross.

The fact that her future self has a kid with him means he was probably accepting of her being a werewolf, so she probably thought that maybe Shima could be another human she could tell her secret to. What actually just struck me as typing this is that this is sort of new territory for Shiho. Rather than having someone reject her because she is secretly a werewolf, she is rejected because she is publicly a pervert.
