@Nylodale Probably. I'm not Japanese, so can't say for sure, but I'm Asian, and in many Asian countries, too much skinship is a "taboo" of some sort. When I say "taboo" here, I don't mean that you'll be a social pariah or anything for doing it, but more like unusual. People are usually too...
@H_G_L Indeed. Haruko-chan is precious. So precious in fact, a certain office lady considers her existence as the social-life equivalent of ochazuke. She cleanses your soul. 👍
@Tromboener Lots of people are. Me too. I hope we get to see the next chapter this month or the next. 😥
Also missing is the loli spirit. That was dropped. I hope it gets picked up.
