Typo in panel two: "This should be an interesting."
Other than that, this is fun. I really like where(ever) this is going.

Re: What are you watching/reading Q2 2021?
I've admitted before that I tend to be out of touch / behind the times on a lot of stuff, and come across event the good ones only haphazardly.Yl33 D4 N00b wrote: ↑Wed Apr 21, 2021 10:54 pmI'm surprised you've never heard of that show, Darrin.

Re: What are you watching/reading Q2 2021?
I have been clicking on random things in Netfilx lately, often without bothering to even read the blurb first. The result is occasionally a bit disappointing, usually okay... and sometimes shockingly good. "March Comes in Like a Lion" was in the last category. Not at all what I was expecting, and th...

Hi, Darrin! Didya know that there was an anime of Hitoribocchi that aired two years ago? Have not seen it(or Colors either, for that matter). I did not know that, thanks.

Re: What are you watching/reading Q2 2021?
I have been reading something called Hitoribocchi that I stumbled across recently. The first couple chapters I was like, hmm, the humor bears a little resemblance to Mitsuboshi Colors (but with middle school instead of elementary kids). Then at chapter 10 a new character (actually 2, twins :D) was i...

Re: "Monster" - Implications with MG plotlines and Megumi
Since this presents itself as an opportunity for deep geekery into words this video concerning the etymology of the word monster can be fun https://youtu.be/swuoSZXQTac One takeaway is that the appearance of a monster was a premonition of disaster. A bad omen if you will Given the setting, it might...

Megumi shows care for her friend That was my first thought seeing this in patreon last night. I am loving Megumi here; her whole world has been shattered, but she still pulls it together enough to find out how her friends are doing. She may express it a bit crudely, and one could argue forever MT-f...

Re: [1588] things left behind
"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...

Re: [1588] things left behind
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...

Re: [1588] things left behind
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...

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 ...

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".

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".
