When a man's an empty kettle
He should be on his mettle
And yet I'm torn apart
Just because I'm presumin'

Ponko is so pure.

I wonder if she will fall in love too.

 

[justforthelulz]

Gramps' immediate reaction is to YEET the dude goddamn

 

[Sonaldo]

 

[JumboWheat01]

Don't mess with gramps.

 

[Nestrac]

That moment with the chicks... That kinda hurt

 

[Sakai]

wtf

 

[runrin]

@nestrac it hurt me too. she's too precious.

seems like ponko is starting to resent the limitations of being a robot--or at least she's become more aware of them. her sister seems to have overcome at least some of them.

i'm excited for the world building and character development that lies ahead. good luck ponko! we're rooting for you!!

 

[Betony]

Eugh, Fuji is such a creep. I know she lives out in the sticks, but Akane can definitely do better.

 

[KhalE]

Ponko's several decades older than him right?

 

[runrin]

@khale her memory gets reset between jobs, so really she's only been "ponko" since the start of the comic. sure she has some preprogramed stuff to fall back on, but her growth/development as "ponko" only started a few months prior to this. she also looks like a child...

and @betony i agree

 

[hellpander]

I really hope we don't see Fuji Jr. being a creep around any teenager in the future

 

[TrueGoddessReincarnation]

Mechazawa though
@hellpander, he is robotsexual also the kid is into him. Welcome to Japan comics.

 

[runrin]

@hellpander same. Brian and Fuji Jr are the two characters in this comic that make me uncomfortable (for different reasons obviously). i just try to acknowledge it, but move on, since the rest of the series is so great.

from reading lots of yuri, i have developed the ability to overlook questionable stuff if the rest of the comic is good. there's usually always one or two things about every manga that i wish were different. if i couldn't overlook that stuff though, i would never read any manga.

that's why i went out of my way to call Fuji Jr a creep after posting the chapter. acknowledge, and move on. :)

 

[DidThis]

Robo pussy got me actin strange

 

[jwanito]

i started thinking "why fuji? out of anyone in the town" but then i remembered we havent seen many kids akane's age around, i think there were 2, but they were like 5 or something

so i take it its just a child's weird crush and just hope it doesnt go anywhere

 

[Tertium777]

A now the obligatory

 

[manabi]

@Tertium777 There's a good chance Ponko has female genitals! Some of us suspect she was a war robot, probably meant for spying. If so, they almost certainly give her superficial female genitals. You wouldn't want your loli spy bot being caught because someone sees her naked and notices she's clearly not human. And no, no perversion required there. She looks like a child so it's likely some adult would think she's an orphan/homeless, then take her in to take care of her. They might see her naked when changing clothes, taking a bath, etc.

Chibi Akane is adorable:

 

[Randomguy01]

@runrin A young man loving a robowoman (a perfect woman) is perfectly normal and healthy.
It's weird that you think him not making bio-females his priority is some sort of problem.

@Betony Another jealous female.
Robowomen are the future. Akane should just deal with the fact that the future is now.

Ponko says, YOU MEAT FLAPS HAD YOUR CHANCE.
