You all are getting teased. Big Bro's love interest is going to wind up being Alice's sister. They'll all be one big happy family in the end.

@SuperOniichan Because it's just basic storytelling about overcoming your weaknesses and insecurities to find strength and confidence as you improve little by little at every step.

@anoman OTOSAMA is Taiwanese.

@AgentKuga It's pretty clear that her expression was condescending so it's understandable Erika would be pissy about not just being beaten by but mocked by a junior in her last match. Towa did say that she gains more confidence when wearing her judogi so it's not too farfetched to think that...

It's pretty much, like almost all shounen tropes, going to come from a combination of Fist of the North Star and Dragon Ball. Anyway I appreciate how the rivals aren't just generic or one note but are their own characters as well with their own goals, motivations and bonds same as the MCs. Kind...

So I wonder how she's supposed to realistically be the illegitimate daughter of a guy who died in 1518 unless Konoe's using "daughter" in the very loosest sense to mean descendant. @Syanalassa Because having direct access to western trade on top of what Shizuko's providing him is still useful...

@Tersione There was a really fun one in Pumpkin Night. :^)

Professional dancers in a Yokota Takuma series, eh? I will flip my wig if this winds up being yet another corner of the Yokotaverse.

Ah yes, the chapter that initially really sold me on the series by offering that first glimpse into Egashira's confidence issues.

@sam3h3ll In all fairness Itai herself is barely any better of a person. She's just more pathetic.

@winterflower18 I would say early 70s is probably a safe guess for Granny's age.

That's a cute tapir.

FWIW from what I can tell the WN ends at the point where chapter 16 is and the author was wondering how to continue it. No idea if the LN goes farther but the manga definitely is going past the point where the WN stops. @conicalPendulum420 I swear to god NTR is like some kind of brain rotting...
