Welcome to the world of idiots. :laugh:



Having just completed the "Let's cook curry" and the chapter involving the Principal i cannot possibly imagine a more fitting tagline for this series.

I have unrealistically high hopes for the anime.

EDIT : Oh god it just gets worse and worse I didn't think it could be worse after the principal but that pool chapter seeing the mop-head friend whos name I forget get escorted out by the cops I couldn't help but laugh out loud and my coworkers looked at my oddly for that

I also hope it happens and then we find out that Asahi being Rin's grandfather is actually not true at all and she got it wrong because she's dumb

Or better yet, Asahi is not Rin's biological grandfather, he's just a 'grandpa' in the same way that Mikan is 'Granny'. Because it's just a nickname.

This is assuming Asahi does not actually marry Mikan in the end of course, which is something we still don't know for sure

This is probably not the manga you're looking for for actual story and relationship resolution

Part of me thinks that the author should do this just to throw everyone a total curve ball.

But that's because I enjoy it thoroughly when a manga defies expectations and does something that nobody saw or predicted

With all these replies I figured the new chapter had to have like a serious confession or something in it.

What I got was so. much. more.

The big question on my mind : Will this chapter make it into the Anime? Because DEAR GOD I WANT TO SEE IT ANIMATED.

That's not just disgust, dislike, or anything weak.

Those are the faces of ABSOLUTE TERROR. The face of a person who knows - not thinks, but knows - that their life is about to come to an end.

I'm catching up after having fallen behind a while ago.

I had to stop and catch my breath after reading chapter 89 and just how hilariously, absurdly stupid it is. I was laughing too hard. I completely lost it at "I can feel my butt breathing!!"

Truthism better get a second and ideally anime season just because I want to see the current storyline and Genjirou's antics animated. If they only make a second and not a third, it'd probably just end right before things get REALLY stupid. And that'd just be a shame.

Outside of Youko Faces that felt like a largely unnecessary chapter.

I would have liked more of Genjirou making a fool out of himself in front of Kuromine and his wife, but karate-action Youko is cute and funny so it all worked out in the end.

I decided to go back and re-read the series from the start and it's really amusing and impressive to me seeing how the change in art worked out

SpacePig posted:

The decision to just draw the characters with enormous goddamn eyes honestly helped a lot. Also, a dedication to the silliness that this didn't really have right out of the gate.

It didn't take long for the artstyle to change from chapter one to the style we have now. It was less than 10 chapters before the artist settled on 'loving absolutely goddamn hilarious faces' instead of being all serious.

Also some of the oldest gags were still the best.

The absolute very best faces in this manga are the 'frightened' faces. You can just FEEL the absolute terror and horror from them. Like this.



The artist is so very, very gifted.

Aug 15, 2005

SpacePig posted:

The scared faces are definitely the best, and this is pretty much my favorite page of anything ever.


That page is good. The very next page had me in tears though.



Truly the maid cafe and its later Omake are the pinnacles of art.

Although.... the 'police leading away Shimada' and later on 'Police leading away Shiro' are very close to the best. But the frightened faces always get me.

EDIT : So I was reading this over on kissmanga, and I came across a really weird translated Chapter 132? mixed in with the other chapters.

The latest chapter that Kissmanga has is 127. Is 128-131 available anywhere yet? And is there a translation for 132 that isn't, well, poo poo?

132 was translated early by a bunch of 4channers who were pissed off that the translation was behind the current releases, so they took the latest chapter back then, speed-translated it, and threw it up on every site they could. It was petty and stupid and mostly now serves to troll people who read ahead and get spoiled, but the actually-good translators are finally catching up to that point so no one will have to see that garbage anymore soon.

Gotcha. Here's looking forward to a version that doesn't contain awful poo poo like 'SMH FAM' in it.

I'm hoping people explain to Youko roughly what's going on, because one of the best ways to make sure she doesn't repeat what happened to Genjuro is to know what happened to Genjuro and why.

Agreed.

I genuinely can't think of a single reason to keep Youko in the dark about what happened in the past.

If Genjiro is as dumb as his daughter, could it be that he still doesn't know that Asahi was Ayuhi? Or did has this been address and I forgot?

It hasn't really been addressed outside of Asahi giving Genjiro the money and Genjiro not knowing why. We don't know if he's just long since forgotten 'Ayuhi' or if he doesn't recognize him.

I look forward to seeing what Shirayuki's master plan is.

I look forward even more to seeing how Youko's sheer idiocy manages to foil it entirely by accident.

Huh, I didn't really think of this. Where does Akane fall in the RPS setup? Shirayuki beat her, but she sure-as-poo poo isn't a straight man. But she's not quite an idiot, either. Hmmm.

So to recap :

Shirayuki, a human, made friends with or fell in love with a non-human. She tried to bridge humans and non-humans and live with both sides. Unfortunately due to a famine, the human village she was in was literally starving to death - so they sold the nonhuman boy she liked/loved into a sideshow/circus thing to survive.

She sold her soul to a demon to become ageless and immortal, and has been sabotaging all efforts at living together to prevent any more tragedies like the one she endured.

It makes a lot of sense why she's doing what she is and makes her out to be much, much more interesting as a villain as she genuinely believes that what she's doing will prevent the people she's hurting from being hurt even worse.


Such a very, very good manga.

Do you know what my #1 biggest pet peeve when it comes to anime and manga is?

They love to end with unresolved cliffhangers. Loose ends everywhere that never get tied up. Unresolved romance plots, villains that are on the loose and as nasty as ever, heroes who have severe issues that never get addressed, and so on.

This manga is tying everything up perfectly, giving us resolution and closure on many levels and I'm SO glad for it.

I'm in chapter 12 and I need to ask, when are they gonna realize they like each other. This is getting a little unbearable since literally everyone else in the thing knows.

I hesitate to say exactly when because the build-up is absolutely glorious and you miss out on SO MUCH wonderful stupidity if you skip to it.

But if you ABSOLUTELY need to know, chapters 85-86 contain the actual confession, though they realized they like each other way before then.

But please don't skip, trust me when I say you'll miss out horribly.

The chapters that stood out the most for me that happened earlier in the manga.

1) Introduction of the Principal
2) The first Ice-creamine incident
3) Meeting Youko's dad
4) Magical Girl Akalyn(sp?)
5) The Maid Cafe, which is STILL the greatest chapter in any manga I have ever read in my life. And has THE BEST reaction faces.

But since new characters get introduced for a good while, skipping chapters can easily lead to quite a few 'who the hell is this???' moments.

E: Now that I look for it, I can't find it. Where was the chapter that Magical Girl Akalyn debuted? AKA the chapter where Akari finds out she's missing her computer and all that, and we find about about the magical girl at the very end

Youko is pretty book-smart. She's just adorably dumb wrt everything else.

She's easily influenced by Class Prez and others. Like when they were making Curry. She was all for following the directions until Class Prez decided they need to transcend beyond Curry and all that.

Left to her own devices, as she was before she made her friends, she did OK and didn't stand out as particularly smart or dumb. At the beginning of the story she wasn't dumb about much, mainly just ignorant (About sunblock and the like).
