I think Tomo fans need to ask themselves whether they even want them to hook up, because I sure don't. I'd much rather Tomo punt Jun and move on.

That just means there's time for a redemption arc to shoehorn in before the finale where they get together and then the series abruptly ends!

I just want any development. Progress forward, punting, whatever. I mean, I'll still read it because it's a page a day, it takes literally a few seconds to read and it's super cute, but come on, man.

Depressing Box posted:Yeah. Over the course of the series he's gradually shifted/intensified from "dense and grumpy" to "sullen rear end in a top hat with violent tendencies". To continue my unfortunate trend of sounding like a smug know-it-all lately: having just gone and read some of the English translations, Jun comes off as way less of an rear end in the Japanese. As an example, what was translated as "It'd be a problem if someone thinks we're going out" was more of a "I know you wouldn't want anyone to think you have a lovely boyfriend like me" (not exactly that, it's a little more ambiguous in the Japanese, but that's the nuance). It was supposed to be a "he has self-confidence issues and Tomo misunderstood what he was trying to say by homing in on that one word" kind of deal. Also worth noting that the author put those "emphasis dots" on Jun's lines there in the original to make sure the audience realized what was going on:  darkgray posted:The tone is different. Lots of words added, etc. Like the translator looked at the original and went "How can I make this funnier?" and wrote his own version instead. Basically it's this. The translation seems to ignore the intended nuance of the dialogue a lot of the time, and it really detracts from the characterization imo. To pull up another example I did a few months ago: Their version:  My more straightforward translation:  The first two panels are fine in both, just differences in taste basically. But their translation of the thought bubble in the last panel, and arguably in the third panel, (and the title) is different on a fundamental level that changes the meaning of what's being said.

I'm glad Misuzu ended up getting the girls in today's Tomo. Also, I was making my way through the recommended manga in the op and I think Doukyonin wa hiza, might be my new favourite manga. It's the best.

Rodenthar Drothman posted:To everyone who was expecting something... Tomo can be funny sometimes, but I would be curious to get a tally of how many times this same "Jun acts irriated/annoyed because he is confused by his feelings for Tomo" joke has appeared. SyntheticPolygon posted:Also, I was making my way through the recommended manga in the op and I think Doukyonin wa hiza, might be my new favourite manga. It's the best. I feel like cats are sort of like horses in that some people really love them and others just don't get it at all. I don't dislike cats (I'd actually think they're kind of neat if I wasn't allergic to them), but I just find myself sort of confused when people attribute all these human-like characteristics to this relatively unsocial animal that is not like a human at all. It makes more sense with dogs because they were specifically bred to socialize with humans (or with another intelligent social animal like primates). I was listening to this interesting interview on Fresh Air a few weeks ago where some Cat Expert(tm) explained how cats bond with environments rather than people and only really identify you as a part of their environment (and this is also apparently why it can be more difficult to bring cats someplace like the vet, because the cat is comforted by the location of your home rather than the presence of its owner).

New Silver Nina! Looks more and more likely that he's going to stay in the countryside, just from the things he's been doing and saying these past few chapters. And with how pro-countryside this manga is.
