@Haremmony I was thinking about that a lot myself while working on the chapter. Sometimes even I'm not sure if I'm fully "getting it."
If I had to say, my read on it was "whenever the nonederwear is being shown to Tanaka, Ueno's mind wants it to be nothing," because that's the kind of underwear...
I dunno. I'm not really feeling these two. The events in this chapter had an interesting concept and really felt like a Franken Fran story, at least and one I wish we would've seen Fran's perspective on instead
I don't remember if forum posters are notified if their topic gets replies OR ALSO if editing a reply to include an @ properly sends a notification for that @ so
obligatory double post to @Hikineet and make sure you see this
sounds like Yamato Nadeshiko Shichihenge (Perfect Girl Evolution / officially licensed as The Wallflower in english). hope that's it, at least, cuz I don't have any other ideas.
@martyg I second @kanjutbautai , pretty sure it's タツミ堪能中 which would be something like "too busy/in the middle of enjoying Tatsumi" to explain why Amachin didn't notice.
If it helps, you can search kanji like this - *能 or 能* - on jisho.org and it will show you compounds using the provided kanji...
@Pnutz Oh wow, I dunno how I went this long without actually checking anything else on the wiki (just been using the chapter title reference), but glad to hear it has an explanation.
I'm gonna whip up a quick update to the end page to write about these new findings.
Oh man, there's a section...
Merry Christmas MangaDex! Hope the staff are enjoying the holidays some way or another.
And here's hoping these new rules help you avoid more headaches in the long run.
(and, well, not to say I called it, but.... I called it)
@Oeconomist Ohhh, I see now. You raise an interesting point.
Checking the raws again, in No. 13's debut chapter she pretty clearly asks Tanaka "Do you like Ueno?" (although she is interrupted) near the end. Unless she was referring to herself in the third person and by the name Ueno, it suggests...
Well, Kumeta Koji has always remained one of my favorite manga artists for his distinctive style, so I certainly wouldn't be opposed to anyone taking notes from his work.
I don't have a lot of textual evidence, but personally I think No. 13 is more or less a robot copy of Ueno. The main way in which they differ is that No. 13's body is a repurposed caretaker model robot, which explains why she's able to do things like launder clothes in her hands in ch 19, or why...
@Teionsav I do occasionally flip through chapters to see the titles or inventions featured, but I don't typically spend much time "reading" anything beyond whatever chapter I'm actually working on next.
