The last chapter will involve both Tomo and Jun when they're 85 years old and Tomo will be on her deathbed from cancer or something and will say "I like you" to Jun and then Jun will say "I also think you are a good friend Tomo" and then she will die and it will end.

Does Ryoga ever get hooked up with anyone, or do all the romantic spoils go to Ranma?

Manga like to have romantic/pseudo-romantic scenes during fireworks and then reset the status quo immediately afterwards.

I will never stop finding it funny when teenage boys are portrayed in manga as not knowing what being attracted to a girl feels like. I can excuse it in shoujo manga or when the author is a woman, but you'd think a male author would understand that there isn't really any ambiguity there unless the guy is actually confused about his sexuality or something.

Wait, what's going on with Carol here. Is that last comic a joke about Carol feeling disdain towards Tomo's lack of knowledge of fashion, or is it Carol having a blank face because she's acting crazy/weird? edit: I'm guessing the former but I dunno about Carol man

I like Carol because she's the only character in this manga who doesn't really fit any existing manga character stereotypes. Misuzu is cool, but she's also a relatively standard "acerbic ice queen" type character, while I can't really think of any clear comparisons for Carol.

I feel like anime denseness makes more sense when you mentally translate things to a real-life situation. Like, with anime faces it's really obvious when a character is romantically interested in another character, but in real life there generally aren't the same "this person is obviously attracted to this other person" expressions (at least not unless the person is specifically trying to show their interest). There's also the fact that, as readers, we're aware from the beginning that there's going to be some romantic pairings between characters, but in real life someone could always just be attracted to an "NPC" instead (or no one at all).

This Jun + Carol mini-arc is actually kinda unexpected. I wasn't really expecting the comic to put these two particular characters together for any extended period of time. Having Jun interact with non-Tomo characters actually makes me like him a lot more as a character.

Does Jun have some actual reason for being so standoff-ish with Carol? From his perspective, it seems like he's being a dick for no reason to this random cute girl who wants to hang out with him. If he knew her well I could understand him (correctly) assuming she's loving with him, but otherwise it just makes him come off like an antisocial dweeb.

I will never cease to be fascinated by the complete and utter terror anime/manga fans have of NTR. I have a very difficult time even thinking of any mainstream titles where something that could be defined as NTR actually occurs, yet the mere presence of a male character other than the protagonist speaking with a potential love interest causes the comments section to be flooded by people completely flipping their poo poo ("OH GOD IF THERE'S NTR I'M DROPPING THIS!!!"). I genuinely do not understand the response. I'm imagining that every single one of these folks must have PTSD from walking in on their S/O in the middle of a gang-bang or something.

Rodenthar Drothman posted:I Was Reborn in a New World Where Nerd are Freaked Out by Stories of Betrayal by People They Trust! Well, actual betrayal is one thing, but "the mere possibility that betrayal could technically occur" isn't quite the same thing. I can understand people getting bothered by when NTR/betrayal actually occurs, but it's another thing entirely to preemptively expect it, especially in a genre where it's virtually guaranteed to not actually occur. I agree with the guy who said it's a meme. It feels like "NTR fear" wasn't really a thing (at least in the sense of a bunch of people specifically referring to it by the Japanese acronym) until several years ago.

Grouchio posted:The first chapter. In Girls of the Wild's, didn't Queen confess to the protagonist and then the protagonist said "no" for some completely bullshit reason like "because you're richer than me" and then they randomly met in Japan after a time skip for some reason? That guy was such a dumbass, I remember he would literally reject the financial assistance of his gazillionaire friend because of his ~pride~ despite it actively preventing his siblings (who he supposedly cares about) from having a drastically better life.

Guy Goodbody posted:Yeah, the point of that was to make Walt's actions completely inexcusable and prove that he wasn't motivated by his family like he said In the case of Girls of the Wild's (and other Korean fiction I've read), I get the impression that "the nobility of poverty" is even more of a trope there than it is in the West, with characters just sort of assuming that if someone else is rich and they're poor that that's the immutable and correct state of the world and that it is noble to accept your station in life. Like, as mentioned, I realize this is a trope to varying degrees in many different cultures, but at least in the US they usually try to justify the situation through portraying the wealthy as smarter and more hard-working. But in Korea (and Japan to some extent from what I've seen) you'll frequent see people who literally inherit their parents' huge companies and are portrayed as being somehow innately superior due to their lineage. In the US, media usually tries to at least give some illusion of meritocracy (which, to be fair, is arguably just as harmful).

When you think about it, it's kind of messed up that Jun needs to establish his physical superiority and dominance over Tomo for a relationship to be possible. Like the idea of dating a girl who is stronger than him is inherently out of the question.

I think Carol stabbed Tomo in the comic before the most recent one. Both Tomo and Jun are looking at the knife that is currently embedded in Tomo's torso.

Of course some women can beat/keep up with some men, but if Tomo wanted to actually do competitive sports as a career or something that wouldn't work out so well (though it's not like she'd be allowed to compete with men at the professional level, so I'm not sure why her dad would be concerned about that in the first place).

I didn't realize that Jun honestly thought Tomo was a guy (up until middle school, at least). I thought that he technically knew she was a girl but just chose to ignore it and treated her like a guy friend.
