Hey, look. Just because a guy's a bit tall and really likes Halloween doesn't mean that he's any different from you or me. Hell, he even looks for UFOs when somebody says that they've seen one, and even I wouldn't do that.

(What I found funniest was why he was so angry. I should have seen it coming a mile away [much like old man Shiragami!] but didn't.)

Almost every chapter she's in leaves me wondering just who the hell the principal married. I mean, if she's this active with others involved, can you imagine what she did for her own relationship matters?

Also, this chapter makes me a bit sad that we'll probably not see this animated. Even if I'm not sure how they'd do the tilted frames in animation.

I'm pretty sure it was actually to justify his exaggerated reaction faces. The point was never that he's particularly honest or anything, just that he has the worst poker face ever.

Yeah. I've felt that despite the rather strong statements in the beginning that it was pretty clear that the thing about him not being able to lie wasn't a thing of principles or not knowing how, but being really, really, really goddamn bad at it because of how expressive his face is.

Just two pages after after he says that, see how Asahi reacts to being (backhandedly) praised.

No one in politics can hide what they really think of each other, thermonuclear war ensues.

Bluffing becomes a thing of the past, as does any game of skill where bluffing's a factor.

But we're closing in on the spoilers I knew, and that makes me doubly happy.

M-my one regret is that I have but one airway with which to both breathe and laugh.

Something about both the chapters and the thread posts have reduced me to a laughing heap.

Speculation like this makes me regret knowing the truth(-ism), because some of it is great.

It does make me wonder how the Principle got involved in the speculation, though.

We can only hope that Miss Karen White is a bastion of maturity compared to the Principle.

So what's the over/under on density vs incompetence?

So, Shirogane Karen. What can I say. No, really what can I say, I'm laughing and snickering too much.

I'm honestly expecting to find out that Karen was either a competitor for Genjirou and got pettily dicked over by Akane or that she wasn't and Akane decided to act as if she was anyway. Because I'm putting money on her whole 'grant your wish in the most unexpected way' to have some basis in her past and the principal's actions.

Edit: Alternatively alternatively, her and Akane's past goes back even further and Karen knew the rumored-of Koumoto great-great-grandad.

Reading the current chapter, I think that A Case (TM) could be made for it being both.

EDIT: Seeing Akane in an adult outfit is so strange. So strange.

This, incidentally, is why I said a case could be made for the 'unexpected way of coming true' having a basis in her and Akane's past and (as Roland Jones said) her being bad at her (demon) job.

I'd say some version of Yasha's them from Asura's Wrath will do. Probably the final version or Fang. Hell if it weren't such a short sequence I'd say go Wind into Fang.

This makes me wish I'd saved Yoko and Shiho's imagine spot of a rumor in later chapters. Just post it and 'this pic could be mostly right.'

Granted, the chances of that actually happening are lower than low.

It's nice to see that Karen apparently took hiding lessons from Recette Lemongrass. And that she gets surprised by Yoko mid-dramatic monologue.

Am I missing any? Also remember when Tenchi Muyo was considered a harem? Now the love triangle trope is so standard that it requires at least five girls, one relative, a teacher, and an animal to qualify as a harem series.

There is, in fact one missing one . Probably because, wholly unexpectedly for the setup, she is only in the last category and also (thus far) totally normal. Unless you do some really absurd twists of phrase. His sister, who outranked him on the popularity poll, is missing.

So go add in the sister. De arimasu.

It seems more and more that it isn't that he can't lie, it's that Kuromine has a horrible poker face and/or is a bad at lying. I think I took it wrong the first time reading it thinking "can't lie" meant something like the movie "Liar Liar". If you just take it as him being a bad liar, then it's still there as a gag, people suspect he's hiding something, they just don't know what, or think it's something else. But recent chapters have been focusing on actual character growth, so I suppose it hasn't actually come up too often as of late.

And also several of the truths that he'd be -trying- to lie to keep are so out there. I don't think that anyone that didn't already know would believe Kuromine if he admitted that the school principle was this tiny horned girl who is also a candy-crazed demon of incredible power.

I don't think that anyone that hasn't experienced the terror of Akane would believe anything but that he's finally taken his first baby steps into being able to actually lie with a straight face.
