I don't buy that she's the one making the images up. Mana pumps her boobs up in every fantasy she has, I don't think Nakano would randomly do that.

That guys' girlfriend looking different than what he imagined is a bit weird though. But maybe she changes her look around him, or he's double-dealing or something.

Maybe Nakano is a little bit bi.

That doesn't explain why Mana would think up a false image about Akira's job.

Even if the images are from her imagination, there's not really very many ways to portray "My best female friend on top of the girl I like in their underwear getting all feely" that aren't lewd. You work with the material you're given.

It could be the case that images are transmitted, but are basically indistinguishable from the images she imagines herself.

Maybe it's a bit of both- Nakano can get the basic gist of what someone's imagining, but not the specifics. So dude's really thinking lewd thoughts, and Nakano might even pick up 'nurse uniform', but she can't see the colour of said uniform, how many buttons are loose etc.

If you don't coddle Nazis flat Earthers then you're literally as bad as them.
It's like reading a book, what she imagines depends on what's written but it's all ultimately a product of her own mind. I'm pretty sure what the author is going for is that Nakano can only see the thoughts written on the page, everything else is from her own mind.

Why do you think Nakano knows precisely how big Mana's boobs are? If anything that makes it more likely she's just guessing, considering her surprise when she actually saw her bra.

Do you think you could draw an accurate mental picture of your friends' bodies from what you've seen in changing rooms? I certainly can't.

I feel like this current arc would make more sense if it happened before Nakano realized she was in love with Toda.

Yeah i was thinking that also, acceptance usually comes after denial. Although I think she's still ambivalent about Toda because of the lewdness. Like even with the mental images being hers, his thoughts have still been plenty dirty before

I must not lewd. Lewd is the mind-killer. Lewd is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my lewd. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the lewd has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

I had a beer once with Stephen Miller and now I like him.

I also tried to ban someone from a Discord for pointing out what an unrelenting shithead I am! I'm even dumb enough to think it worked!
She's probably going to try and catch in him a lewd thought somehow.

Like trying to slyly ask "HEY WHAT'RE YOU THINKING ABOUT!??!".

And it's going to just completely backfire.

I mean obviously whatever he plan ends up being, it's going to backfire.

So I went back and read some earlier chapters, and I'm not sure how the imagery stuff works. Usually Toda will do stuff like think lines mental-Nakano says, which Nakano will then see as being said by herself-in-underwear or something. Or he'll just think her name and she'll see an image of herself in some lewd clothes. A lot of the stuff is definitely lewd on Toda's part, though, so it's not like she's just reinterpreting normal stuff in a lewd way.

SyntheticPolygon

Toda's thoughts are definitely lewd but Nakano is freaking out so hard about the realisation she is playing a part in making this lewdness that she has somehow convinced herself that there is a chance it is 100% all her.

It's a script. Like literally go look at a script for a tv show or movie you've seen and compare what is on the page to what made it to screen. She only gets direction, the actual interpretation of it is down to her. If he's thinking of "a sexy Nakano on a bed", the image she makes is what she thinks is a sexy version of her on a bed.

It also puts the very first chapter in a different light, which was of course called "Something only Nakano-san sees".
