Lord, this isn't legal.
What a gigantic faggot.
>>150724586
Still don't get why wouldn't he just do it. I understand from the plot point of view, but from Yoshi's - no.
>>150724669
You know when guys have big mouth about getting girls and then panic when it's actually happening? I can sadly relate.
>>150724669
This manga has a plot? I read the first few chapters and it just seemed to be about drinking.
>>150724778
It slowly advances, but really really slowly. I actually it has good pacing for a comedy.
And thats all. This is the only thing I actually wait for.
>>150724830
Hopefully we'll get a raw translation of the latest chapter too.
>>150724762
My sides.
>>150724586
>>150724639
Fuck this shit, I thought he wouldn't be a usual sexless spineless MC but this is what I get.
>>150724830
Not even Kingdom? Fuck this two week break yo.
>>150725955
He isn't, though
He really wants to hit that but he's restraining himself because of the consequences
>>150726209
What consequences? Tokki and the other dude won't give a fuck, they'd probably just congratulate him and tell him to be careful since Azusa is a bit of a goof. Nanaka would be embarrassed like always but not mind. Cakey, well, she just has a minor crush. Otakuguy (whatever his name was) would be horrified since he's the way he is, but it wouldn't matter. That leaves Chisa, but Iori has no reason to think she'd raise a fuss except maybe be a bit disgusted like she always is. If she had suggested a committed relationship, then sure, it would've fucked with the group if they'd broken up later, but she never implied anything of the sort, I think.
I love this manga even more when the gags segue into really serious scenes. Makes it surprisingly realistic.
I wouldn't have expected Azusa to be so insecure and hesitant.
>>150726326
We saw his thought when she proposed, he thought that was a test. Like she'd laugh and say it was a joke if he actually agreed.
Don't blame him, you'd spill your spaghettis too if you were in this situation.
>>150726326
Azusa has been getting closer to him as the series progresses
From her point of view, they're both closet bi. They both have an unrequited/impossible love. She was serious about him being between her and nanaka, etc
She (though not directly) says it herself, this isn't just a casual sex invitation and iori knows it
>>150726346
Don't tell met he got the cousin onee-san.
I'm the anon who posted the link for the latest chapter raws on the last thread, and here it is again, for the ones who missed it:

>Don't blame him, you'd spill your spaghettis too if you were in this situation.
I have been in a similar situation once and I did spill my spaghetti, yes, but I wouldn't read a manga with me as the MC either.
>>150726541
She did say "this once" though.
>>150726541
Then again i could be reading too much into it, it's likely as simple as >>150726521 put it
>>150726687
Then he's spineless and I'm disappoint.
>>150726678
That's why i said she didn't say it directly
There is no 'just this once' with girls, either they're into you or they aren't
>>150726647
No, Azusa is hung up over her unrequited crush for Tokita, who is attached (to an as yet unseen character). She seems really wistful and insecure about it.
>>150726541
She has a thing for Toki, actually.
>>150726720
Azusa is basically a bro though, this is a manga, and I'm pretty certain that such a generalization has plenty of exceptions.
>>150726728
Yes but toki has a girlfriend. This pains her.
Iori's there, and she just so happens to have taken a liking to him.
>>150726755
Girls who hang out primarily with guys are implied to be loose for a reason.
The valid argument is that this is a manga, though. It will be as the writer wills it.
>>150726717
>Spineless
>Constantly get naked in public
>Crossdressed in front of a crowd to get a laugh out of a girl
>Dumped a drink over a girl's head because bros before hoes
You take that back.
>>150726867
>spilled his spaghetti when older bombshell suggested sexytimes
SPINELEEESSS!
>>150726854
She is trying very hard to get over Toki. I get the sense that she feels very guilty about being the third wheel.
Between this scene, Iori standing up for Kouhei when the latter gets made fun of and the imouto arc, this manga is surprisingly impactful.
>>150726755
>>150726720
Azusa propositioned Iori because she probably hoped that physical intimacy would bring her mind off Tokita, but at the same time she only saw Iori as a platonic friend, hence the bashfulness.

Do you honestly think you have mastered an Asian language in two months of studying? Or do you mean you have had a history of learning and the past two months you officially have become fluent? Because one of these is sheer retardation and one would actually make sense.
>>150726209
Nah he could just have casual sex and nothing would have changed
Author pussied out
But i never expected him to agree anyway, its not that kind of manga
>>150728996
Casual sex among friends is often a very messy affair that can destroy a group of friends cohesiveness. Combined with the fact that MC doesn't even know which girl he likes and fucking Azusa is a literal landmine that could ruin not only his social life but destroy the club.
Also he went to an all boys school so he has little to no experience with women. He likely isn't sure about the prospect of sex without emotions getting in the way or of her would even want that.
Sex isn't everything, bruv.
>>150729121
>of her
If he*
Fucking autocorrect
>>150729121
No red blooded male would think of shit like that when a sexy woman asks for sex
At least not in real life
>>150728927
Guess he's not as retarded as you.
>>150726346
Sempai girlsfriend is so tiy and cute looking.
How the hell that happens. Im with iori, fuck the world.
>>150729199
Not everyone prioritizes sex the way you do. Fucking some random girl is one thing, fucking a friend has A LOT of strings attached.
Unless you only think with your reptile brain, a lot of people might question if a few minutes of pleasure is worth severely fucking up a good thing you have going.
>>150729248
If you think any Asian language can be mastered in 2 months you are delusional.
>>150729302
I dont prioritize it that much
Im just saying that a straight man never would refuse sex from an attractive female friend, which could lead to them being sex friends
Unless they are gay
>>150729302
>Fucking some random girl is one thing, fucking a friend has A LOT of strings attached
This is Azusa, she doesn't give a fuck about creating drama.
>>150728927
>>150729333
そう言っても、二ヶ月だけの勉強したけどちゃんと日本語が分かれるんだ・・・・Wikipediaって凄く良いもんだぞ!

Nah, maybe some people are just more talented. Don't think that if you can't do it, others can't.
>>150728927
>structurally one of the easiest languages on the planet, even easier than sign language
why shouldn't anyone be able to learn it in two months unless they're retarded?
>>150729291
It's not his girlfriend, it's Nanaka.
>>150729468
If you're a NEET Korean with good focus, you can learn a lot in two months.
But reading manga does not imply fluency, I'm not even properly N4 and I read raws for gag series
>>150729361What if I told you I had once before?
>>150729391
Things can change, especially when sex is involved. Emotions can develop and opinions can differ, remember he himself seems unsure how he feels about any girl in the group.
>>150729302
>>150729121
How is anyone supposed to get a girlfriend without befriending her first.
>>150729614
>Things can change, especially when sex is involved. Emotions can develop and opinions can differ, remember he himself seems unsure how he feels about any girl in the group.
Except cakey. I don't think he really thinks about that kind of stuff at all though, he's too busy thinking about weird shit to consider his relationships.
>>150729531
It's not. It's being hinted what she feels towards the senpai is possibly more than just physical attraction which is why she didn't shoot down the idea of dating him. Nanaka she just can't deny she finds her extremely sexually attractive and if she's drunk/sleepy she might lose her inhibitions and jump her bones which she would regret.
>>150729655
Chemistry. Either way, going and fucking your friends brings dangers. Many can fuck/begin dating friends, few can return to being just friends after if things change.
>>150729727
And if he fucks Azusa his carefree college life could change severely. Right now the club and his new hobby in driving seems to be his focus.
>>150729913
>And if he fucks Azusa his carefree college life could change severely. Right now the club and his new hobby in driving seems to be his focus.
I really hope more personal drama happens later on and the group fractures and such. I don't want any "hurr everyone stayed friends forever even though theyr just happened to be in the same club" shit.
>>150729913
>It's not. It's being hinted what she feels towards the senpai is possibly more than just physical attraction which is why she didn't shoot down the idea of dating him.

What ? The anon I replied to said that senpai's girlfriend was tiny and cute looking. But the girl on the pic is Nanaka not his girlfriend, who hasn't appeared yet.
>>150730212
My mistake I thought you were the guy saying that Azusa is hung up on nanaka more than the senpai
>>150729121
He shoudl have at least asked her to give her a handjob or a blowjob.
Friends do that.
>>150730212
>>150730067
What if no one mentions Toki's girlfriend at length because she's dead/crippled and that's why Azusa doesn't want to make a move out of guilt and fear.
>>150731819
I really don't see how that's implied anywhere.
>>150732442
Its strange that all mentions of his girlfriend to date are fleeting at best, almost as if it was something to be glossed over and told in detail later. So I was wondering if there was a deeper backstory behind the tension between Tokita, Azusa and this mysteriously absent girlfriend.
>>150732614
Well, it's a comedy manga, the author is probably just saving the girlfriend plot until he can figure out how to use it well.
>>150732756
I wouldn't call it all-out comedy. Some scenes like Iori standing up for Kouhei, the imouto arc and Azusa momentarily letting her facade drop in the latest chapter amongst other scenes are pretty heavy. Those scenes are played very straight. I wouldn't put it beyond the realm of possibility for some actual conflict to be written in.
>>150733028
>making fun of your otaku bro
Bitches and whores, I tell you.Kanako when?
>>150733028
We're not exactly reaching Jitsu Wa level of drama here.
>>150726650
Why do you use sendspace, anon? Why not zippyshare, mediafire, mega, dropbox, or google drive? Just curious.There are fucking cancerous filehost sites out there and you chose one of the less desirable ones.
>>150724200
is it Cakey or Chisa who's moving your heart?
>>150726326
>Nanaka would be embarrassed like always but not mind.
you know, when Azusa brings it up later, Nanaka seems pretty casual when asking about it
>>150735341
Cakey moves my heart, but Azusa and Nanaka move mypenis
>>150724762
NIGGA YOU JUST TURNED DOWN 10/10 SEX AND YOU ALSO GOT A CUTE LITTLE KOUHAI WHO WILL JUMP YOUR BONES IN A HEARTBEAT FUCK YOU
>>150732614
Aren't this, and the most recent chapters the only ones to bring up Toki's girlfriend?
I don't think she's been shown or brought up much because she doesn't matter, and the author knows not to crowd the series with too many superfluous characters.
The only significance of Tokki's girlfriend is that he has one, and how that relates to him and Azusa There's not really much need to do more with her
>>150735880
Cakey's the least hot girl, but I think she's probably the most sympathetic and genuinely entertaining amongst them.
>>150736448
>she's probably the most sympathetic
>the only character that is not a caricature
Really makes you think.
>>150736754
How is Chisa a caricature?
>>150736859
Tsundare is far too played out archetype for anyone to take seriously at this point.
>>150736971
Who exactly is she tsundere for.
>The author of Grand Blue is the author of Baka Test
This makes so much more sense.
>>150737755
You're retarded.
>>150737790
Not as funny as Baka Test thats for sure. Like not even in the same league.
>>150738035
I meant Grand Blue* fuckI'm drunk
>>150737790
Eh, is this a LN adaptation?
>>150738416
No, but he's not doing art.
Any chance for a rough translation of the new chapter? It's about Nanaka being embarassed about her lewd body goddammit.
>>150740011
Seconding this
>>150740011
Nope.
>>150729480
You have to be a savant to be able to learn japanese including kanji in two months.
>>150740011
I can try tackling it this weekend when I have time, unless the Korean anon gets on top of it.
>>150740011
Didnt they do that already? I remember her walking in on him talking about her body
Thanks for the heads up, anon.
>>150743063
That was last chapter.
>>150742843
Reading childen comics is not mastering the language. It's surprising how far you can get into manga with so little knowledge.
>>150732614
What if her girlfriend is a Samurai Flamenco, if you know what I mean?
>>150724200
I thought Grand Blue took place in a fantastical other world setting, that looks like my house
>>150725955
Fucking retard! He loves Chisa!
>>150743436
The hell he does, you delusional motherfucker. He loves her curvy little ass is all.
>>150735341
It's Azusa, Cakey isn't too interesting and Chisa is, well, I don't even know.
>>150737790
>Baka Test author
Well now we know the best girl won't win.
>>150745502
Who's the best girl?
>>150745502
Himeji was the best girl in Baka Test though and she won.
>>150738035
Yeah it's not as funny but the dynamic between the male cast is pretty similar.
>>150736331
So, for someone who can't read chink, what is she getting all flustered about?
Or I suppose I could just wait a month for the scans to catch up...
>>150749151
She overheard them talking about her tits
Did this artist do H-manga? It looks kind of familiar.
>>150727043
this right here
the 'test' was for his own feelings for Chisa versus his desire for sex
>>150751981
There are no "feelings", they barely even talk to each other.
>>150752227
Chisa barely talks.
Though I don't know where he got the idea they have feelings for each other.
