Can we clearly mark manga spoilers? I'm actually not sure if there are any, but if there are, please mark them! I'd rather not be spoiled... :v:

Generally in anime threads when you talk about the manga you put an extra mark before them like this

Manga spoilers: Naruko kisses Onoda

Because people use the spoiler tags both for things from the latest episodes and for manga stuff and people who are just watching the anime don't want to see manga stuff necessarily. Otherwise carry on, thank u for the Yowaposting.

I'm waiting for the episode which shows every character's perspective on covering the ten feet before the last 5 feet before the finish line.

When I made this post, I thought i was exagerating for a joke. Then this show has one episode which ends with them 20 km away from the goal, and the next episodes ends with them still 20 km away from the goal.

Episode Recap: Ishigaki reveals what fuels him (it's Stockholm syndrome) and Midousuji gets up close and personal with Manami's special kind of autism. Also Midousuji may/may not have shorn his pubes in sacrifice upon the altar of burning spirit.

The current translator doesn't have a fixed schedule and releases several chapters at once so no one can know for sure.

This was a really good episode. I'm so glad to see that Midousuji is out of the race. gently caress that guy. Onoda's mom annoys me though. How can you be so ignorant of what your kid does? Listen to the little poo poo when he's telling you what he's into.

Seriously, that convo between Class Rep and Onoda's mom piled on the "Japan's institutionalized misogyny problem" pretty hard. Just like how Kanzaki is OBSESSED WITH BIKES and KNOWS EVERYTHING ABOUT THEM and has a rich family tradition of cycling sports and owns a bike shop and yet we've never seen her so much as TOUCH a bike. Her sole purpose on the team is swoon breathlessly at all of the manful shounen spirit and explain cycling to 'token bitchface friendTM'.

I get that it's as much of a trope as Onoda's constant, nonsensical embarrassment and lack of understanding- even after the entirety of the show so far- but it still grates me.

They're very obviously building up a moment where Onoda rides past and Onoda mom is like WOAH and that's going to be awesome. Also, not everyone parents the same way, you can still care about your kid and not know where they are 24/7.

I love how you make this big long feminist media criticism 101 post about Yowamushi Pedal and somehow neglect to mention that every episode ends with teenage rear end in your face.

Shut up, dude.

I just said that it was annoying me and that the Ms. Onoda/Class Rep talk was, like, extra annoying even for the genre.

I guess the Kanzaki thing does veer into "you're really talking about this now?" territory but I figured that the post-credits little girl fanservice went without saying. Whatever, :japan: I guess.

Yea, I understand what they're trying to build up to. I feel like that is laid on pretty thick. That scene will be cool when it comes around in the next few episodes. As for your second point, I agree. It's unreasonable for a parent to know where their kid is 24/7, but the kid has been gone for three days. I'm not a parent, but I'd like to think that I'd notice if a kid that was otherwise around was suddenly not.

In my first post, I was referring more to the fact that Onoda's mom doesn't seem to know that he races bicycles. Maybe he still rides his mommy bike to and from school or something, but I'd think that the racing conversation with his parent(s) would've been had at some point by now.

They did have that conversation, his mom thought he was talking in metaphors or something.

The funny thing is how women are such a large portion of the audience when it comes to these "boys competing earnestly against each other" shonen sports manga in spite of that

I wonder if there's a male counterpart of the "mostly superfluous vaguely romantic highly expository" girl in shoujo sports manga?
