Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid. Annoying. Male chauvinist bullshit. And incidentally totally undercuts the manga's main differentiating gimmick, leaving us with basically nothing but pure, boring cliche.
What I learned from manga: Never believe idiot rumours about your uber-hot boyfriend. (I'm sure that will come in handy someday)
Luckily, he will be able to tell instantly what's going on . . . at least, once he mentally translates it from whatever outlandish fantasy she turns it into.
@rob1610 Yeah, that's Yoshizumi Wataru for you. She's a grand master, and I love some of her manga, but even the ones I like the most have some cringeworthy drama sequences.
How old is this new jerk, five?!
@princeofcups But what you're talking about isn't what any of these people mean by "progress". They mean two people who are both in love with each other and spend all their time together doing such things as
--Confessing their love
--Becoming boyfriend and girlfriend
--Going on dates...
"Please stop!" she said. Honestly, sometimes I think the Japanese can be a bit oversocialized. How about "Back off before I rip your tiny arms and legs off!"
Supportiveness + confession was so totally cute though.
@Alpha_Salsa You only need so much special abilities when you're 30 feet tall...
The problem, she realizes, is that she can't fight back against abductors. She's going to the mountains to train under a mysterious old man until she is good enough to go train at the cursed Jusenkyo springs. When she comes back she will be a martial arts master and under certain circumstances...
Of course we missed the part where she brutally murders her mother and hides the corpse where it ends up never being found. At least, that's my headcanon and I'm sticking to it.
I don't remember ever losing focus that much just because a loved one had the flu (not even going to mention colds, because japanese manga/anime colds clearly aren't colds).
Why are so many American white males such whiners? The incels are the worst, but they're just the tip of the iceberg. Every time something happens where their free ride compared to everyone else gets a little less so, it's "The horror! The horror! Poor us we're so discriminated against!" No...
