"without commitment" is exactly that; Piro and Kimiko aren't married, aren't engaged, and as far as I know neither of them has actually said to the other, "Hey, I'm going to stick around as long as you want me and do my best to help you." "False dichotomy" is another phrase I deliberately avoided f...

MegaTokyo...updated monthly! Do you ever post about anything besides complaining about lack of updates? SOMEBODY has to! Would you rather I point out that the Kickstarter page hasn't been updated since July 16, 2017? 1587 comics in 245 months is six and a half per month (a bit better than "weekly")...

I will see your Chekhov's Gun and raise you an Occam's Razor. Ray, I submit that this should be worth one drink for the MT Drinking Game: Every time Occam's Razor is mentioned. (It's a cheat, even if it's true.) How the hell is it more of a "cheat" than the Chekhov's Gun schtick? Either it's two dr...

I'd agree if that 1151 wasn't imo about earning more money for the plane ticket... Yet Kimi heard what she wanted... And I'm a bit afraid this may be another Chekhov's gun... Except "tickets" haven't been mentioned since eight chapters ago , and the only "expense" in the 1151 conversation that Piro...

sex without commitment? That just does not match with my read on Piro. Where are you getting that "without commitment" is part of Piro's mindset or plans regarding Kimiko? Pretty much everything non-trivial in the comic that's happened to Piro or been done by Piro, ranging from the benign to the ca...

I love the Mordor-phone in panel 1. "Thank you for calling the Barad-dur Operations Center. Please listen carefully as our menu options have recently changed. Satig ASH, daggog zi ta-folun. To continue in Westron, please press TWO." I will no doubt take a lot of the-floor-is-lava level hear for this...

This being P+N, the most absurd possibility is the most likely. MegaTokyo -- the only statistical environment in which antimodes are more important than the modes. Of course (as any of TPCD's number crunchers will tell you) recursion can rapidly ruin any attempted analysis: if a particular outcome ...

She did this because she destroyed the original MT. [...] Don't let her find out that we know; she'll make everything go away.

The foxgirl version of "It's a Good Life"...

Did you know they made a live action of it?

I did not, will have to look for that, thanks.

I am also finding "Boku no kokoro no yabai yatsu" (The Dangers of My Heart) ridiculously cute, but it might be more sugary-sweet than some prefer.

My Broken Mariko Wow, that was good, thanks for pointing that out. On a lighter note, I keep coming back to "The Clueless Transfer Student is Assertive". Kind of a Kimi ni Todoke with elementary school kids, but with the dial cranked a lot more toward comedy than drama. (Not _all_ the way mind you,...

In Japan, it is quite common for children to call any unrelated middle aged person "aunt" or "uncle", and any elderly person "grandmother" or "grandfather". I suspected as much (from manga/anime scenes, albeit in English translation :D), and indeed had that in mind when I wrote that; thanks for con...

I enjoy watching people use conventional knowledge about genetics and familial lineages [...] to try and figure out where Megumi fits within the hierarchy of the Kitsune family I'm not doing anything of the sort. The only observation I've made is that Megumi calls Grandma "Grandma", and Ashe "cousi...

But wasn't she running around with Ashe? I'm confused now 😅 I certainly won't claim to not be confused by the details of the relationships. To the best of my abilities to seek aid from search ninja, those details have yet to be revealed, and I'm pretty sure that's deliberate on Fred's part. When Me...

I am increasing my bet that "Megumi didn't know she was a foxgirl, let alone nine-tailed" from 15 Bayesian units, to a million.

Megumi is one of the oldest characters in the strip having been introduced around #32 shortly after we met Erika and Kimiko You remind me that when I was active in the old forums (2006-2009 or so) the sentiment was occasionally expressed that Piro was "lucky" to have someone like Kimiko, that she w...

I think his head is about as dense as neutronium. Largo is the Ken Clean-Air Systems of MegaTokyo. Although he does unfortunately still have a small particle of brain in his skull, once that's removed he'll be perfectly all right. EDIT: While I was reviewing the more memorable of Largo's exploits i...

The way things are going they may all end up at the Fox Hole with everyone else. Oh no argument there. (I was mainly checking I hadn't missed something, which happens enough that I couldn't be sure. :D) At this point the only MT regular I'd be willing to bet won't show up at the Fox Hole any time s...

We have both a new, young, powerful and nervous Magical Girl, and a young, brash and spunky three-tail Kitsune, hanging out together. What are the odds? Destined to be best of friends? Maybe Yaku can keep Yukata healthy enough to actually date? Bit of a side note, but sorry, when did Yuki and Yakug...

It’s too bad love hotels don’t have cafes. You could have everyone showing up for breakfast.

They could have bangers -- that is, breakfast dogs -- and the plot would quickly become a dog''s breakfast.

I'm assuming the room is actually 2900JPY as opposed to 2900USD and Largo is just being Largo.

EDIT:
Yep. Nice backref Fred.

Like those tinfoil dudes on Star Trek said, "Intelligent converse is impossible. You do not discuss, you gibber." I always thought of them as the "dudes sitting under a black comforter adorned with Xmas tree lights" - did I just have bad reception, or was that one of the worst special effects of ST...

The animation style completely throws you off at first and you sort of expect something silly and whimsical.....but it doesn't stay that way. Heh, yes, I loved how at first the "battle" scenes look completely cheesy and overblown, and then you quickly realize it's deliberately cheesy and overblown,...

Again I am always behind the times so I apologize for it being an oldie, but I just stumbled across "Love, Chunibyo, and other Delusions" on netflix. The first half (of Season 1) I am thinking, "Ok, this is not nearly as funny as Seitokai no Ichizon"... but it is having its moments, and pretty cute,...

we have come to an ominous fork in the road with regards to Megumi. Very well put. The more I have thought about it today, the more I see three stages that will need to be worked (more likely struggled) through: a) What is Megumi now physically capable of? b) What subset of a) will Megumi actually ...
