Three different impressions of which was which in four pages - that was a neat trick.

I would guess that if there’s a romantic winner, it’ll be Mei, since Mimiel technically isn’t even human, and has bigger goals. And neither girl can lose - they’re too sympathetic - so the only way I see it ending with a romantic resolution is if one of them willingly cedes to the other, which would work out with Mimiel, since that would be her understanding not just her love for Ren, but her love for Mei.

Mostly though, I’d expect it to spin its wheels and keep the focus on gags and fanservice. And I’m okay with that - they’re both quite well done.

I thought of that too, then realized that that’s undoubtedly why she has that sort of bob hairdo instead of the more stereotypical lacquered mass of gyaru hair.

Just spent the last hour or so catching up with this, and I’m still not sure what I think.

It’s a fan-servicey gag manga about a fallen angel boke who sort of alternates between quoting scripture and being innocently provocative and charmingly ignorant, the long suffering high school student tsukkomi who’s been roped into taking care of her, and assorted friends, classmates and neighbors.

It’s… not quite like anything else.

I have no idea how this is going to go, but I thought it looked promising.

This is adorable.

Thanks for sharing such a cogent observation.

I was mostly just observing that it was relatively tropish. I understand the role that tropes play in storytelling and don’t have a problem with it, as long as the author does something interesting and/or entertaining with them.

But I’d never before considered the particular need for them in oneshots, and can see it now.

That was pretty good - a bit too tropish (and the loudly desperate friend is one of my least favorite tropes), and the self-defeating internal monologue reminded me a bit too much of Hikigaya, but the leads have some potential chemistry.

That panel with their hair blowing back made me lol.

Ah… that was worth waiting for.

Just ran across this one and thought it was pretty good.

And it’s especially notable for being just light and fluffy and amusing, since the mangaka’s other works are… not. At all. Even the tiniest bit.

And this surprisingly awesome manga continues to defy expectations.

I was expecting more about the other members, and specifically Rei, since she’s gotten enough focus to be recognizable. I was not expecting fujoshi though - not even for a second.

And another person with expectations for Ri-chan to defy…

Yeah - look at the face she’s making at the top left.

There’s a lot of dere under her tsun.

I think we can safely assume that we’re going to be seeing a lot more of those two women at the community center - they’re too detailed to be throwaway characters. And I’m looking forward to it - Ri-chan with an ara-ara onee-chan and a little, sharp-eyed tsundere should be good.

Those last two panels were subtle but nicely done. It took me a minute, and a bit of zooming, to figure them out.

I’m pretty sure they’re meant to illustrate Ri-chan’s perception of the world changing - going from dark and simple and vague to light and complex and detailed, as she figuratively comes out of the dark and into the light.

I suspect a lot of us can relate. I know I can.

That was quite the info-dump.

I was sort of curious what was going to happen to this. Early on, it looked like the overarching plot line was going to be the search for Aki’s dad and the question of whether or not she’d be able to kill him if they found him and he was a kairi. But then they did and he was and she did and that was that.

So then… what next?

And I guess we just found out. Sort of. Though I have no idea where it’s headed next, other than, apparently, winter.

Yep - glasses guy did it, and that’s a lot of what this has all been about. I was pretty sure of that.

So has Chiaki manipulated Kouhei into this road trip for her purposes? Or is it something that Kouhei unconsciously did for her benefit? He does apparently have suppressed memories of her, so it’s possible he’s effectively tricked himself into helping her.

Odd twist that it’s even the same car. I’m not sure what to make of that.

I didn’t expect that. At least not so soon.

It’s a good sign though - I take it to mean that it’s going to focus on real issues of building a relationship rather than the typical manga bullshit of not even communicating in the first place.

And I’m looking forward to the next brain cell board meeting.

I love the brain cell board meetings.
