Take a look at the first one. She's clearly not acting like the real Tomoko here, but an idealized Tomoko who can actually remember her name and cares about her feelings. She's probably pissy because Tomoko doesn't give a fuck about her. On that page, she's intentionally bringing up a time when Tomoko stopped talking to her when she was in the middle of a sentence.

She's one-half pissed at Tomoko and one-half wants to stop being ignored. That scene where she was in the dark was both. She was openly inviting Tomoko to talk to her, but also mad because of the incident at lunch.

What's funny is seeing usually timid and quiet tomoko let out a volley of insults like that. Even if the readers know she usually thinks in those terms i think it would still be surprising for yuri.
>>
>>159498489
yea i thougth it was weird she always think like that but its this the first time she have said one insult out loud? did she did it because she was with friends?

Yuri is more /a/ than Tomoko imo.
Introvert, cynical and just taking it easy.
Tomoko is just such a tryhard and is like an exaggeration of the gamestop spaghetti spilling meme.

There's usually nobody around to hear when she bitches out loud. She does do it occasionally, though.

I doubt that. I think she has broken out of her shell enough to just explode without thinking.
>>
>>159495369
Yuri's a bit of an outcast who only really has Lesbian and Tomoko. Fang sees her as an easy bully target and keeps trying to pull Lesbian into her circle of friends so she'd be isolated. Yuri fucking hates Fang, but she's smart enough not to retaliate.

Fang girl is the reason she was stuck without a group back in the field trip arc.

Is this malice from Nemo or just friendly banter?
>>
>>159502605
Nobody seems to agree what's been going on with her character since that time Tomoko almost outed her as a nerd.
>>
>>159502605
Nemo is good girl. She is the first person in school that started to talk to her after Imae. What's with all the Nemo character assassination lately?
>>
>>159502756
>>159494117
She was confrotational here and after Tomoko almost outed her.
>>
>>159502756
It's not a character assassination. It's more a look at two characters taking different routes through life. Both had neet tastes and aspirations although Tomoko's fantasies about becoming popular typically revolve around being sexually appealing but we don't really see what nemo thinks so it's hard to gauge. It's kind of a critique on society since even when she fantasizes about being smart to get popular, her fantasy self-image is large breasted with a short skirt.

Anyway, Tomoko has traversed the phase where she's realised that the things she used to worry about are trivial and meaningless to the point where her fantasy of going back and repeating it to be popular would tire her out and she's happy being a loner. She gets headpatted and doesn't freak out or think anything of it beyond her old self would have went crazy over it.

Nemo, however, is a social conformist denying her own ambition, interests and betraying her friends so she can be "popular".

That's what the series is ultimately critiquing though. Tomoko has friends. Nemo does not. Tomoko is content with herlsef. Nemo is not. Who really is the biggest loser here?

Nemoslut is insecure enough around Tomoko already.

I can't wait for a jealous Emoji or Yoshida to really put the screws on her.
>>
>>159502605
Neither. It's the translators being shitty. The way they write her dialog comes off as really passive-aggressive for some reason. >>159494117 is a good example.

>>159503408
I've seen this posted twice in this thread. Is this something akin to the old "Cool Story Bro" meme?
>>
>>159503314
>Nemo, however, is a social conformist
Dude, she's training to become a voice actress. That's anything but conformist.
>>
>>159504221
The only person who knows about that is Tomoko and the reader. To everyone else, it's just a shtick she's doing. It's a good example of dramatic irony, really.
>>
>>159503314
The joke is that none of Nemo's friends give a shit. They all thought it was cool as hell when Kuroki was sperging out over anime and voice work.
>>
>>159504195
Tell me the "true" translation.
>>
>>159504195
You under stand the moon runes? What is their original meaning?
>>
>>159503314
Tomoko of course.

It was obvious that she was a quiet girl with no presence, a loner and friendless. Nemo changed herself after her entrance exam. She has a group of friends and actively pursuing her dream. Meanwhile Tomoko dream of becoming a NEET while getting her bro to support her financially. She barely got out of her pariah status even with the constant help and handholding from Yuu, Imae and Yuri. Nemo also has the superior taste in anime.
>>
>>159504416
>>159504457
She just says she hates those. She doesn't go out of her way to call them garbage.
>>
>>159504644
Still strong from a character like her.
>>
>>159504505
But she didn't change. She fantasized about many things, NEET simply being one of them. She's an average or slightly above average achiever, she's athletic and she has days where she's cute. The people who interact with her accept her for who she is. She isn't the centre of attention and she realised herself that she doesn't actually want that.

This attitude isn't actually different to how she originally was. She called the girls who went to karaoke sluts and bimbos at the beginning, now she doesn't care. In a way she's retained her true identity and isn't any worse off for it as she has decent relations with people while Nemo has shallow relations.
>>
>>159504326
Damn ese, that's a nice identification of literary devices mang, that's TIGHT!

>>
>>159504969
Aha. And?
I always tell my best friend to his face how much I hate his hipster taste on movies and books, and he always tells me how I should stop wasting my time with those shitty japanese cartoons.
That doesn't mean we hate each other or that we're bad people. Quite the opposite: we're so close we criticize each other without hiding anything.
>>
>>159505121
You and your friend do "friendly banter". Nemo is not like that, Nemo is a "nice" girl. Even Tomoko was shocked at the way she approached.
>>
>>159505265
>"friendly banter"
No it isn't. We really mean it.
That's why I don't see anything wrong with Nemoto's hostile approach. What's the point of having a friend if you can't talk your mind freely in front of him/her?
>>
>>159505327
Tell me other instances where Nemo behaved like that with other character.
>>
>>159504848
They ain't ironic nigga can't I appreciate the disection, reorganization and presentation of a literary review??? Whack af man
>>
>>159505347
Exactly!
She hasn't done it with another character, and that's to be expected for the same reason: she isn't close to any of those kids.
She can't talk freely with them like she does with Tomoko.
>>
>>159505420
Why is she not hanging around her like Yu? Why not hooking up? Go to her house?
>>
>>159505347
The entire point of the chapter is examining their relationship after Tomoko found out she likes anime. Nemoto says she hates the anime Tomoko likes, then immediately makes it clear she didn't mean anything with a "it's too bad we don't have anything in common". Tomoko, being the spiteful type, still takes offense to it and decides to outrun her as payback. Nemoto, being in a sports club, takes it as a challenge and the two of them end up in a full-on race. At the end of the race, Tomoko is pissy because she wanted to win without effort, while Nemoto is surprised that she pushed herself so hard trying to keep up.

Then Nemo realizes that even though they don't share taste in anime, they do have something in common: they both really hate that damn teacher.


The whole chapter takes on a different tone when Tomoko has a reason to be offended over Nemoto calling an anime she likes garbage.
>>
>>159505327
>Nemoto's hostile approach
>hostile
The fuck. Nemo is the first girl that reached out to her from her class. I believe she genuinely appreciated what Tomoko did back during their entrance exam time.

Damn nigga see that shit the kinda shit I like to see in an analysis, I was thinking the "garbage" translation was fine and that findin Nemo chick was being a bitch. But the way you presented your interpretation and how y'all backed it up with facts changes my fuckin viewpoint and let's me see the character of tomoko being what tomoko is, a dumb cunt who's problems are her own doing. And that shit is the main theme. How the fuck didn't I see that. Props man.

>>159505864
Because Nemo doesn't know that Tomoko is into anime. Once she did, she approached her to have small talk about anime.

I picked it up again recently and its amazing how the manga kept becoming better and better
I love how characters keep getting introduced and their dynamics change and how Tomoko is actually changing for the better unbeknownst to herself

Because it was passive aggressive. She was like 'yea I figured YOU would be into that I however hate that stuff. I knew we don't mix well'

She was making herself seem superior to Tomoko(which is objectively true but still) and Tomoko responded by wanting to beat her in the race

Back in the early chapters, Tomoko would put her hair up in twintails whenever she tried to disguise herself as a social girl. Nemu sports a variation of the hairstyle, made more apparent by her middle school look. It's symbolic that Nemu is what would happen if Tomoko was actually successful in becoming a normalfag at the beginning of the series.

Nemu was initially nice to Tomoko because she had empathy for the pathetic girl. That time they ate lunch together, Nemu came to a horrifying realization. Tomoko was an awkward girl claiming to want to be voice actress and all of the friends Nemu worked so hard to conceal her powerlevel around instantly took to liking her. Not only that, but Tomoko gave zero shits about whether or not Nemu's friend circle liked her, instead deciding to stick to her own people. Nemu realized that she wasn't what would happen if Tomoko had been successful in her attempts to become a normalfag, Tomoko is what would have happened if Nemu had been herself.

Nemu considers Tomoko a friend, but deep down she's offended by her existence. Tomoko is living proof that Nemu's life is wrong. It's understandable that she's bully Tomoko when she can.

To those who say this isn't passive aggressive, yes it's true she doesn't call them garbage, but the fact that she literally says she "hates" those shows indicates that she's intentionally trying to start shit. In Japanese you don't tell someone you "hate" what they like unless you are 5 years-old or trying to make a really strong statement about their tastes. Usually you don't say anything at all or come up with a softer phrasing.

Beyond that, the text is in fucking bold, which is a common way of indicating that there is a certain type of emphasis indicating meaning beyond just her literal words.

Relatively. Since at the end of the day, Nemo is still a poser while Tomoko is not. And given that Ucchi is technically on Tomoko's side and Nemo clashed with her, it can easily be seen that Nemo does not blend well with Tomoko.

Things can get interesting between the two in this upcoming third year, if this is going where it has been hinted it's going.

Is Yuu still the oppai monster queen of the series?
>>
>>159574832
Second.
>>
>>159575251
Why is tomoko so pervy to girls. Is she like the woman version of anons who decide to like or become traps? She can't get men so she settles with women??? Or is she just bi?
>>
>>159575650


Come to think of it, the only reason she hasn't called Yuu a raging lesbian like her schoolmates could be because she knows for a fact she has a boyfriend. She hasn't wondered about bisexuality yet.
>>
>>159575650
i think is the first
>>
>>159575908
It is the second.
>>
>>159576062
so can we agree it isnt the third?

Too late she already took Mako's virginity
>>
>>159574832
It's probably just your imagination. And even if it's true she still has smallish breast.
>>
>>159576925
Everyone looks almost flat in the manga
>>
>>159577023
My point still stands, you cannot call her stacked.
>>
>>159576586
It is NOT OKAY!
>>
>>159577053
>My point still stand
No it doesn't

If hers are noticeably bigger than the rest then taking the art style into consideration she's stacked.
>>
>>159577255
Posting 1 pic where it looks like she has 2 additional grams of breast tissue isn't an evidence.

Could be the clothes, could just be the mangaka fucking up a tiny bit.
>>
>>159576641
I want to open beer cans with her fang
>>
>>159577357
anon they're noticeable in 3 of the 4 panels 1 of which is from another chapter

Sounds like you're just butthurt she laughed at Tomoko and NTRd Yuri
>>
>>159577592
And someone replied to you with a pic where you can't see anything.

I'm just bored. I'm trying to force you to read the manga to either prove I'm right or prove I'm wrong by making a sweet compilation of her slightly noticeable tits.
>>
I remember when Komiyama used to get hate from the ESL for no reason. Even though she's a saint for not giving Tomoko the asswhooping she earned several times over or stooping to her level.

yup, I collect the localized version and the original.

>>159580195
Well done.
>>
>>159575650
She's male self insert. Also girls get away with lesbo shit all the time.
>>
I think the real question we should ask here is whether it's more likely that Tomoko is going to rape or be raped
>>
>>159580281
thanks dude!

How long until Komi-something and Dicky get frustrated and decide to become lesbians to escape their dick problems, only to walk in on Brother changing and quietly forget the idea?
>>
>>159581164
No chance.

Komisomething's heart has been claimed by Tomoki. She's a very pure pervert canonically.

Dick Sister Jr is a very pure dick obsessed pervert but is madly in love with Tomoki as well
>>
>>159581325
There is a chance!
>>
>>159575650
Years of consuming media aimed at men made her think like one.
>>
>>159581965
Pretty sure that is not it.
>>
>>159581965
Do you play otome shit?
>>
>>159582246
Why is that?
>>
>>159582349
Blaming the media is silly.
>>
>>159582386
Why do you think people do what they do? They are influenced by something. Tomoko hardly socialized at all and just watched anime and played games. It has an effect.
>>
>>159582573
People do what they want. The choose the media they want not the media choosing what they want.

Yuu and Komi are losing relevance super fast.

Komi just keeps BTFOing herself about Tomoki and baseball.

>>
>>159584818
I like the light.
>>
>>159584844
She knows it's poop shaped chocolate. She's wondering what kind of creepy perverted thoughts Tomoko is having about her by giving her poop shaped chocolate. Like maybe Tomoko is masturbating to the thought of Ucchi eating her 'poop'.
>>
>>159584817
a lot of girls in this series really need vanilla doujins
>>
>>159585086
>not enjoying gore futa scar vore hentais

but hot damn, the lack of pure softcore lesbian stuff is disappointing.
>>
>>159585086
no thanks

>>159585013
and why she keeps eating it? she even say is way to sweet
>>
>>159585193
gross
>>159585245
why not
>>
>>159585306
You know why not.
>>
>>159585296
Because she's obsessed with Tomoko.
>>
>>159585296
She's getting off to her fantasy about Tomoko getting off to the thought of her eating those chocolates.
>>
>>159585370
And that makes me depressed.
>>
>>159585363
Sorry but I don't and they deserve vanilla doujins with lots of handholding

You missed one hell of a ride. Aleister has skyrocketed into best boy territory.
>>
>>159586566
I dropped it after reading NT10 or 11 because the following volumes are really shit in my opinion.

But I guess I will be reading Vol.18 if some shit is actually happening there.
>>
>>159586778
You'll definitely be confused as hell if you skip 12-17. The volumes had some serious ups and downs, but I thought they were overall fun to read. You will probably hate the shit out of Anti-Touma's harem though.
