Yes, Miho, it is what you think it is, whether you like it or not.

I call her Nabiki... because she looks like a Nabiki to me! And because Ranma 1/2 got me into anime back in the before time... the long long ago.
Nobody can tell me I am wrong till the comic does!!
Re: [1520] What I've been feeling
No, it's not fair.
Miho has spent the last century not finding love and not having that choice, and now Kimiko is getting the good stuff and rather literally rubbing Miho's face and other body parts in it. Miho is feeling all the stuff her story kept from her this last century and in a way where Miho knows she can't have it.
But in a real sense it is absolutely fair. The fact that Kimiko is feeling these things while playing Miho means that the route that Kimiko is on was always part of Miho's path, it's just that Miho never made the right choices to get there. And now MIho is getting her faced rubbed in the fact that she just wasn't that good at playing her own game.

Miho herself said that something felt different this time. Is what is happening to Miho because she is getting to feel Piro's love at last?

Re: [1520] What I've been feeling
Mugi giving birth to Yaku at an early age is well documented, but when Megumi in 1440 said "That's your answer to everything isn't it? Just fling your legs around!" can be construed as Mugi still doing one night stands, though in Megumi's case, it could be the pot calling the kettle black.....jkhartl wrote: ↑Sun Apr 08, 2018 10:31 amThat's kind of harsh.

I first read MegaTokyo on September 4th, 2004. Fourteen years they're STILL dragging out the Ping's crush on Piro.
Re: [1520] What I've been feeling
That's the thing. The game *doesn't* call for Miho to die. The game calls for having an authentic death experience in the game. It took Kimiko to figure out the difference.Invisigoth wrote: ↑Sun Apr 08, 2018 9:06 pmWell when your game calls for you to die....Liminaut wrote: ↑Sun Apr 08, 2018 8:06 pmNo, it's not fair.

Re: [1520] What I've been feeling
@cidjen Indeed, but that's hard to do if you're emotionally invested... unless you made bank, to make a really lame pun.
Let's say you watch stock market patterns for fun, and you think that stock NKMI is going to go through the roof. If instead NKMI gets a quick bounce then tanks, you might find that the surprise is even more interesting - then go back and see why it all makes sense in hindsight. But you won't be very happy if you started heavily investing your money (or emotions) in it, and you feel like you personally lost.
If this tortured metaphor makes no sense, my apologies. Like people, eventually metaphors will just tell you whatever they think you want to hear. (^_~)

I really hope you're right. If Tendou Nabiki were a ninja, I could see her personality being similar... except that she would have probably already found a way to charge Miho. Maybe she's just biding her time to get a bigger payday from the voice actress.Teddy-Werebear wrote: ↑Sun Apr 08, 2018 7:56 pmI call her Nabiki... because she looks like a Nabiki to me!

Welcome back HiChans. Actually, that's Miho in this comic, not Ping. Ping sees Piro more as a friend and sort-of big-brother now.

Re: [1520] What I've been feeling
I wonder if anyone is going to hint to Piro that Miho is ‘feeling’ him.
Would be interesting to watch *his* reaction to that bit of knowledge — if he believes it.
Thanks, Fred, for this update.
By the way, what Miho has been feeling may be misinterpreted by her as well, right?
I mean, she may have been feeling Piro’s unintended physical response to helping a nude Kimiko out with rinsing her hair, while not having actually made (to quote Mugi) ‘dat choice’.

- would actually have to go and revisit that arc, when Miho faints at the arcade, what was Piro's feelings then, just before Miho meets Piro ITF for the first time
- but about the time when Piro is feeling down, Miho faints at the school (more or less. slight mis-timing in reaction)
- after the Beer Garden Disaster, he's feeling down, and Miho has health problems, until the Piro and Kimiko make up in Anna Miller's Lap Pour Accident.
- there is a contra-example - the Anna Miller's Kimiko Train Wreck - he's hurt but Miho doesn't get the stick - because his hurt came from different direction and his combwback is targeted at Kimiko... and oh boy is she getting that backlash back then...
- now the 'I WANT TO LIVE BECAUSE I LOVE YOU' scene at the hospital, is actually Miho's feeling, channeled and amplified by Kimiko the Actress, there is so much of it, that he can't help but leak it out back to the 'transmitter', so Miho 'feels' it too (or he just slightly mistimed turning his transmitter dish away from what he thinks Miho is shouting at him, when he realized it's Kimiko)
- by the timing, what we see here in 1520, appeared to me consistent with PxK making out in the car more like, for a while... But it may be actually the moment when Kimiko jumps on top of him before going to the shower, or as he talks to his conscience. Timing may be slightly fuzzy here, but it's not the exact action that counts, it's the intention and emotion; Some of the shivers before Junpei arrives with Yaku, could be as Piro gets scared of the fanboys or when he meets Megumi on the way.
- it could be that the 'psychic link' if any, somehow works only if either of Piro and Miho think about each other (even subconsciously) while experiencing the feeling ?
But of course, I could be channeling H.L. Mencken here

Judas Freaking Priest on a pony....
Miho is feeling Kimiko because Kimiko is able to channel Miho's character.
By pretending to be Miho she's acting and that's the way Miho's character is used in Miho's stories as well as her games
Kimiko isn't just physically fucking Piro right now, she's mind fucking Miho as well.
Miho is being violated on a very basic level going right down to her lizard brain

Yeah me too. (Usually when a Bayesian update shifts your probability estimate by 10% or 15% in either direction, that's a pretty big deal.

EDIT:
Also am I the only one who finds it a bit ridiculous how Google (of all folks) translator is so annoyingly anal about diacritics and such. I was able to cut and paste the phrase from the transcript (great work paarfi ) to finally see the correct gloss but geeze, you'd think frigging Google would be able to stick in a stupid regexp to filter out the diacritics in something like this.
Re: [1520] What I've been feeling
After reading/ skimming the comments . . .
What if Miho is worried that someone saw Piro and what looked like Miho going into the love hotel? It might make the staged death pointless because fans could catch on and the hotel could be in as much danger as the hospital was.
Edit: I posted in the wrong thread and was apparently wrong too.

Re: [1520] What I've been feeling
Curious, no idea of what might happen if she let Kimiko die for her, no inkling Piro (who she clearly knew was there, having gotten him thrown out of the room) would be involved, is just now figuring out she'd been experiencing everything that has been happening today since Kimiko, who has been playing her, and indeed who she told her real story to, took over. Taken over by the girl who helped set up the death scene that wasn't, who would be working with Piro to bring Kotone to life, that should be Miho's rival in the realm of deep-seated ultra-hidden love. Seems rather odd Miho would forget any of that, but maybe very big stories ending has some kind of effect like that even upon the primal cause of them.
So Miho, Analogue, the real thing, powerful story source, Irish Goddess, et al, who has been working to get (Piro) to win like (Largo) did, has been helping Kimiko since Ikebukuro. Miho, who has seemed to express little to no interest in anything except arguing, excels in not saying anything very explanatory, lets people think what they come up with is true, not having engaged, engaging or looking to want to engage in anything physical, knowing more than she should be expected to, unkillable so far apparently, able to gap and shift between realities... Has just now figured out what she'd been working for, has some new physical effect on her she'd never had happen to her before. Hunh.
Clearly not anything she's enjoying, if her reaction is any indication.
Seems there's more to this.
My guess is that (so far) Yaku is as overall correct as Yuki has been. How correct it turns out, seems more and more likely... that it's whatever it is we think it's like now.

Yeah except her first reaction is to Piro being confused and Kimiko acting as her proclaiming love for him in 1461. Maybe since then Miho has been experiencing them making out in the car, moving into the love hotel, and finishing up washing hair and bathing, and whatever went on in 1513 panels 4 5 6 7. Yet when did Miho move from story source to empath and surrogate for the physicality of Piro and/or Kimiko.DracMonster wrote: ↑Sun Apr 08, 2018 12:16 amWell, I thought the "Miho feels them having sex" theory was too out there, but I stand corrected.

Yeah not given, using something shorthand in the meantime, like calling Yangisawa store man, or Yakugashi fox girl, Junpei ninja dude, Piro artist guy, Erika booth babe.
Rather clandestine or lazy, certainly she has a name. Sakaeru, Junpei-sister, Ninja Grandmother, May, Gertrude, Utsukushi, or my favorite, Enjii.
If she's mom or grandma maybe, but she gives more an impression she's a kid who's not done anything and sees this as a breakout thing. Or perhaps she gives more an impression she's playing around with Miho about it, regardless of who she is. Depends on what sort of actress she is. Maybe.Ninja Grrl is a stone killer with a long string of successful assassination assignments in her CV and has the personal option of declining to accept an offer.
That's probably less likely than it having been Miho creating it.Likely she was the one who subcontracted the contract to neutralize Largo to Meimi
Depends on what Miho's plans are, if any. But given the apparent huge shift in 1461, that story is over, this would be a new one?
My guess is that (so far) Yaku is as overall correct as Yuki has been. How correct it turns out, seems more and more likely... that it's whatever it is we think it's like now.
Which is interesting, the same sort of idea Yuki had when she read the chat logs (and looked at the pictures she didn't look at?) Getting pretty heavy on the she's not what she seems thing, all speaking in Gaelic, but how long ago, or was she just the equivalent of some LARPer at some point in her history, ancient or otherwise. Poor Tohya Miho, we knew ye not.
What Mugi says to Yuki during the car ride, Mugi's argument with Megumi in the hospital, etc.
There is that idea that if two people are expecting opposing results, then one wins and one loses, and somebody is happy and somebody is sad. It rather depends on if this here is a win/lose, or if it might be win/win, or even lose/lose. If we tend to believe Miho is never actually quite what she seems, or assume that now is like before, maybe it doesn't really matter to her (when all is said and done) one way or the other, it's just all what it is. On the other hand, if Miho is to be trusted because now is very different than before, that would change it all around a lot. Of course we can only go with what it seems at the time to each of us, and it seems she is pretty unhappy about how this is going on, which should then be a new very uncomfortable alternative to either being the zombie queen she doesn't want to be or to the new fans she can't just replace the old ones with as otaku logic would demand. Whatever else, she seems so far to have one of the oddest ways of showing interest in somebody, if that's what the truth is. But for the time being, she so dislikes what she says she thinks it is she was able to shake all the ninja styling out of her hair.
