Ah, it’s so wonderful every time this gets updated. Thank you to all the hard workers at Sunrise Arrow. We’re also past the point that I’ve personally been spoiled on, so everything coming up is brand new territory for me for the first time in months. It’s so exciting! (Well, ok, we’ve been past...
@Lilliwyt
That’s why I specified “fellow civilian” as in not directly affiliated with the warring factions. Anri and Ogura are sorta the odd ones out in this series in that they aren’t from the Dark or Light clans, so it would make sense if they have the same naming convention. Magical girls...
@Lilliwyt
I’m with BugDemon on the name thing. He could’ve been more polite, but it makes more sense for: A, a character’s namesake to be the name of an individual rather than a location; B, for a character as dark as Ogura to be named after something demonic than something holy; and C, for her...
@cowjazz @BugDemon thank you both for your help. I don’t know much about the Japanese language, but even I know what “dai suki” means 😉 and I can’t blame the translators for going for a pun where it’d fit.
So, one thing I was wondering, I remember seeing an older translation of Momo’s confession that seemed a bit more explicit than the one here. So I’m wondering how explicit was it in the original Japanese?
@KZO are you saying that every person named Josh is actually from ancient Mesopotamia?
@Madcat6204 as much as I love the pun, I think the end result might be more similar to hypnotism than full on brainwashing. Hypnotism can make someone do something they wouldn’t think to do, but not anything...
@agronox
A dogeza is the type of bowing/kneeling that Shirozawa always does. Where his hands and face are directly on the ground. I guess the joke behind him doing it on a grater is that he’d do it even in the most uncomfortable places.
It’s always a real treat when I get a notification for a new chapter! Also, NEW GIRL NEW GIRL NEW GIRL! (I already know who she is because I have no restraint wrt spoiling myself, but it’s still exciting to finally get to her).
@Vampirepineapple
I don't know what manga you read, but the one I read had the main character excitedly try to EDIT: I decided to put that in a spoiler tag just in case.
@Vampirepineapple
Ah, yes, good old friendships: where one person desperately wants to see the other naked and will take any opportunity to grope her. Totally what friendships are. Perfectly normal platonic friendships.
@Nevos
That sounds like a cool idea, but unfortunately she’d need a lot of practice to get it down. It’d be a lot more convenient to just have a jack-of-all-trades form she’s used to using.
I do really wish her normal form wasn’t as revealing though. I don’t normally mind fan-service-y stuff...
@manolito62 I’ve said it on Twitter and I’ll say it here: MachiMazo is a 4koma to contain its power. Otherwise nothing would be able to compare to it, and all you’d feel from every other story is disappointment.
@BugDemon
Good point about barriers.
As for the thing that started this conversation, it’s a little weird you’d bring it up out of a spoiler tag if we haven’t seen it yet. Especially unprompted. I guess it’s no big deal since this isn’t an action series, and I don’t mind being spoiled...
@BugDemon
Why do you say that? I’m pretty into these sorts of discussions (even if I’m not great at coming up with my own analyses) so I’m curious why you said that? I kinda figured she’d be quite a bit less myself, since she got injured by a truck, and is supposedly much weaker than Sakura...
