hosed up the thread subtitle isn't D for Dragon.

also, TIL the original title was already a portmanteau (メイドラゴン: meidoragon) and the scanlation/localization both split it apart for some inane reason

It's fine to just think her boobs are too obscenely big but the "she's a kid" angle is lame and dismissive. Iruru acts like and is stated to be Tohru's peer in multiple respects, never a child. How do you even discern anything between her feet and toes as being something other than 'generic Cool body, but stumpier.' The dude is poo poo at anatomy and all of his strength is in expressive faces and lineart. I'm aware 'oppai loli' is a thing and that doesn't stop me from thinking the phrase and concept are dumb. Hestia can back me up here.

Tohru was mentioned to be named after a western author, which kind of makes you think Tolkien?

They're good at adding and expanding yeah. Like in the manga a spontaneous gift for Kanna becomes two connected scenes in ep 4.

partial summaries

6. visiting Saikawa's house
7. beach and comiket
8. bento competition. title hidden. Yamada and Nishiya's ep!
9. parent's day + (anime orig.) athletic meet

"also need to add that these summaries are just partial summaries. For example the episode 4 summary says nothing about dodge ball so theres still a lot of other stuff being covered."

very excite

It's tiring and disingenuous when people do nothing in this thread but try to absolve themselves of the manga like they were forced to read it. Seriously, you don't have to bring it up. In fact I think the anime-original posters would thank you for it.

and looking at upcoming material in the show is one thing, but big plot moments in the manga are being brought up non-sequitur? idk

I'm sorry you skipped the whole episode. They teased that next week is the beach chapter. Maybe you can skip to the comiket part where they read lewd doujinshi. ah, hm...

honestly if that joke was repeated verbatim in Gintama or something I probably wouldn't bat an eyelash but someone itt has told me Cool loves shotacon so it's hard to dismiss it as just a weird joke

yeah it's played innocuously enough that you could brush it off but their designs are basically a big nod.

but i mean, I think the main sell behind Cool K as a mangaka is he's an active doujinka who shapes his perverted ideas into heartwarming stories

i get just not liking the general atmosphere around kanna and saikawa, but imo it's weird that people just flat out say they want to gently caress. they're children, and don't know what a gently caress is.

children copy what they see which is why saikawa says she wants a relationship like kobayashi and tooru have, and i think the entire point is missed if you try to finish their thoughts for them. kids have nebulous impressions of intimacy. they don't know what they're talking about, which is why kanna and saikawa's thoughts are both left trailing. it's supposed to be precocious.

Hasn't a jp viewer already translated what Kanna mouthed to basically 'wash each other by licking', i.e. The thing that Kanna and Tohru did in dragon form?

makes sense, and reiterates my point if so. i'm kind of surprised if reading her mouth is actually that easy though, I just brushed it off when I saw people trying to do that.

Also, FWIW, I've heard a few folks say that translation's bad and the original line was the tongue-cleaning thing Kanna mouthed in the anime.
