Re: [1559] Be my eyes
To me, in these recent 2 pages, Moeko is surprising because she was presented to Erika & Largo as still deep in a coma. To Erika, Moeko's apparent sitting-up and conversing would likely be a surprise that was socially stressful: If Moeko is newly-awake, Erika has a responsibility to assist in the im...

What's the "PICC Line"? Is the connection/line the sketchy rectangle on Moeko's right upper arm?

Re: [1528] An old story that needs to be finished
I believe that Yakugashi ALREADY called for Junpei Ninja. He may be momentarily busy. Tying and muffling Yakugashi crosses a line of story-telling convention. Ninja-relative goes from actions that are teasing annoyance to what I believe is called "Peril". (And it is called peril for good reasons.) I...

Re: [1516] A New Story
Now we know more about how much Miho has regarded Yakugashi... aware of her presence, but only as an acquaintance, related to Mugi. (*sigh* But that can also be very much MegaTokyo. It might be strange if Miho payed too much attention to Mugi's daughter.) Yakugashi has has used some courage and meas...

Re: [1513] - "Play"
Seraphim is named as a conscience assigned to Piro. She's said that Big Mode is more 'expensive' to run. Someone may have decided the expense was worth it. Seraphim has always been very aware of the effect of her appearance to Piro (and any other observers). She dresses fashionable & appropriate, an...

Re: [1510] I guess I'll have to stop...
Kimiko looks pretty happy in that last panel. Maybe even like an afterglow of "new level accomplished", or an after-mission analysis. She assisted in acting a work of MegaTokyo magic, and she knows it. I'm looking forward to seeing all the sorts of ripples of events that come from this "Miho Rescue".

Re: [1510] I guess I'll have to stop...
So, some of the story-tellers say that we never really read the story that the story teller wrote; we're only going to experience the story that we read. This is one of the pages, should we live so long, we might keep coming back to look at again. We can watch 'Kimiho' have a special experience (may...

Re: [1506] Ninja vs Precociousness
Yaku orders Junpei-ninja to take her to the presence of Miho...who we last saw at his ninja family's compound... Miho being busy avoiding breaking a very obsessed ninja-family guard. Why does Yaku need to confer with Miho? Miho has been called 'the real thing' by some observers who might be crazy en...

Re: [1503] You two
Dusty-Knight Piro looks to be courteous enough to want to thank Megumi, who is their rescuer, ride, & guide. He probably would even have offered her first chance at the room's shower. Megumi reminds him that the situation is not going to escape the iron-fenced path of The Story. In a love-hotel, Com...

Re: [1503] You two
If there was a fantasy multi-player role-playing room... perhaps the "End Games" room?... That might appeal to them both. Certainly would fit The Story.

In strip [1495] Yuki had appeared in the battle area and offered to rescue Nurse Ririko, and Nurse rightfully sternly reprimanded teen Yuki for putting herself in such a dangerous location. Then the alarms start going-off. Now here in panel 2 of [1496], Nurse Ririko bluntly reveals to the scared mer...

Re: [1491] Visiting the Family Shrine [part 2]
I'd like to thank the members posting in the forum. This sequence is very interesting to me, but that also makes it hard to follow all the revelations and implications. Are there enough clues? What is missing from the conversation? The various postings help me to sort most of this out. My main comme...

Re: [1488] - Less Poisonous?
Listen! Can you hear the MegaTokyo-space singing?
Miho is alive!
Zom-Zom has some feet!
I think that the ripples are spreading out from the start of the new Story.

Re: [1485] - "no idea what is going to happen"
Awww... 'Ninja-girl' can't enjoy her refreshing ninja-drink. It looks like in panel 4 someone's gone high-speed to re-shuffle Miho's kimono-front. It does look like maybe ninja-girl gets up close and respectful in panel 7 to reset things right. (Like the kimono.) At a polite and slow normal speed, t...

Re: [1484] Desperate
Fred's choice of sound effects are unobtrusive and helpful. "Huff." I find the top part of the page scary and disturbing. Perhaps in panel 3, Miho realizes she CAN BE a threat to this Ninja family... even without intending to be. She is likely to continue to be a major target for the forces of Stabi...

Re: [1483] Brawler
Here's what I find 'kind of' scary about this page: Panel 6, Ninja-adolescent says to Miho: "But you aren't big or tall enough to land blows that heavy without some sort of force multiplier. I can't figure out how you do it." That's a very open admission of ignorance. Especially from a member of a n...

Re: [1483] Brawler
This comment is not going to be well organized. What I hear from this encounter, is that Ninjagirl fights in the 'Adolescent Tiger' style. Looks like, anyway. Late-adolescent tiger cubs are cute and kitten-like... in a 90-pound (40-kilogram?) kitten sort of way. (They cheerfully play "Pounce-and-Bit...

Re: [1480] Bumpy Ride
I also follow the assessment that Kimiko is a "method actress" - one does not just act as a character, one emotionally becomes the character to perform the character. Her acting job is to become Miho - a decoy to distract the MegaTokyo authorities and Miho's horde. So, what would Miho be likely do i...
