I think Kimiko just wants the ambiguity, "it's complicated" dodge, to be over. One way or another. Piro on the other hand is probably feeling that this just is not the right time for this. I find it interesting that people are claiming his hormones should be running high and turning him into a ragin...

Uh... it's been explicitly stated that Ping's purpose was to provide otaku males with a practice girlfriend, who would help them move on to develop relationships with real girls.

This has been referenced multiple times, there is no doubt about this aspect of Ping's programming.

I think people are reading too much into the last three panels. The way I interpret it is this: Ping realizes Junko likes this boy. Ping wants to help Junko with her romance. Ping is not programmed for "best friend" advice to a girlfriend, instead she is programmed to take on the role of a girl and ...

So... some thoughts. First of all, this explains Junko a lot better. I always wondered why she would get involved in compensated dating, but if she really is attracted to older men then it starts to make more sense. It suggests that she started dating older men, and had enough bad experiences to bec...

Oh Ping... you don't do things like this without shenanigans happening... Although it is interesting that Junko seems to like this man. I guess one of those gullible older men managed to catch her heart... That just makes me worry even more for her, as the most likely scenario is him taking advantag...

Err... shouldn't these all go in the Fanworks sub-forum? EDIT: Nevermind, figured out that these are summaries of the actual story, and have been approved. Can I suggest changing the title of the thread? It was very confusing, as "fan contribution" sounds like a fan work thing. "Fan Summary" would b...

To that, I could be prepared to say, Yuki senses feelings. Maybe she isn't able to exactly pinpoint *who* feels what and who 'feels what' towards who. (Ref. Kenji saying to her, "most of the fear you feel is not yours"). Maybe because she's too inexperienced as a Magical Girl... Wa-hey, now there's...

Welp, looks like Yaku has decided to take a hand.

Also, Junpei, this is what you get for abandoning the way of honor for the way of love.

Well, the strongest evidence for Piro still loving Miho is Yuki sensing it (since it's strongly implied that as a magical girl she can tell when someone loves someone else - unless she is the target). Also, that bit about Kenji stopping Yuki from teleporting, it's pretty clear that he's just delayin...

On the subject of concealing gender in Japanese. Japanese tends to leave it rather vague from my impression. Something about not requiring pronouns, so you have to use context to identify who you are talking about. Most extreme case I can recall was from Maison Ikkoku where a love interest was telli...

I'm sure she thinks of Miho as a bad thing. One of "Mom's obsessions" that resulted in a disaster and her mother in the hospital. I'm also sure that to Yaku, Piro is in the same category. (Probably has had to endure a few rants from her mother about Pirogoth). As such, I would say Yaku is more likel...

I just had the most hilarious thought. What if Yaku (being helpful) tells Junpei that Piro and Kimiko are over at the family hotel, so that he can take Miho over there. I mean... that sort of makes sense. Obviously Kimiko and Piro and Miho are all involved in some kind of crisis so now that the imme...

On the subject of Miho and Piro being a thing of the past or not, I'm not so sure. I've had my own breakups, and then had the girl show up in my life again suddenly, and my interest hadn't cooled. I actually spent some time thinking about it, and came to the conclusion that I just don't know how to ...

Has Piro ever had a girlfriend? Because I can't imagine his approach working with anybody. Miho. A long distance relationship with an ancient girl cursed to endlessly replay her death, and doomed to never love again... So basically it worked with a girl who had every reason to believe it was a "saf...

Piro, the truthful answer is: "It's complicated."

The correct answer depends on what you want.

Piro... you're worried about being supposed to pay as the guy?

All that adrenaline really has scrambled your brains.

Safety glass doesn't break into large jagged slices like regular glass would, although in this case it didn't fall out as a big sheet but bits fell all around. If you clean up broken safety-glass windows, you can easily find out the chunks are still quite sharp and capable of cutting. If Piro is on...

So... what exactly is going on in that backseat? I mean... Piro has a back full of glass, I can only think about the horrific pain he must be in and how difficult it will be picking all that glass out of his back. He probably needs to go to a hospital - a different hospital - once they stash Kimiko ...

I always thought it was pretty clear that Mysterious Saint Tail steals stuff by a combination of distraction, speed, and dexterity. I assumed Yuki's powers are basically the same, though she seems to depend a lot more on speed. I don't see any reason to complicate things by assuming she has ranged t...

In 1027 ( https://megatokyo.com/strip/1027 ) Yutaka had told his mom he was hit by a "big, dark blue sedan" after Yuki fell on him. Ririko is being coy, letting Yuki know she knows now how he was really hurt. I saw that strip, too. Ririko slipped back into "baby talk mode" when addressing Yuki at t...

@Invisgoth Well... maybe. (Didn't Paris use some magical item to make Helen fall in love with him? Magical girls would probably be against that.) However, a more generic example of adultery is not as easy to decide as you might think. I mean, that puts eros up against storge. Love vs Love. And actua...

Well, it came across to me as a sort of amused smugness. Since that means her son has obviously captured the attention of his crush. And said crush being a magical girl just like his mother... some mothers would respond positively to such a development. Especially if the girl happens to be the daugh...

If it is a reference to something it's far too common to identify where. It's not like "evacuate" is an uncommon word. I think it more likely that it's just that everyone's alarms are going off about a scary magical girl being in the area, so every background character is making comments along the l...

It took me a minute to parse <3y4cu4t3!>. It that a thing I just don't know about, or a Fred original?

Pretty sure that's "3v4cu4t3!" or translated from leet "evacuate!"

Whatever's in that syringe Ririka is using on herself in panels 2 and 3, I hope she's got enough of it. :cry: Errr... she's not using it on herself. You can clearly see in panel 2 that the needle is pointed away from her, she's obviously giving a shot to someone else. The needle isn't even in panel...
