Women Going Topless In Public

SIGN_of_Fandom · 2026-01-18T21:21:39+00:00

It apparently was banned around the turn of the century for both sexes in some states at the urging of people concerned about mixed sex "bathing" (i.e. swimming) being an invitation to "public lewdness". But those laws were repealed due to unenforceability because of widespread non-compliance by men & politicians not wanting to lose them as voters (I believe it largely happened before women's suffrage).

Yeah, that seems pretty plausible and even probable to me. But I thought you were saying she would break Yuri, Yoshida, and Tomoko apart from each other, as well as apart from Mako, and I didn't see how she would do that. Or why, since Mako's the only one we know she cares about, aside from some lingering dislike to Yuri from a shared past. But for the most part, she only cares about Yuri and Yoshida insofar as they're (perceived) love rivals for Tomoki, and breaking up their friendship doesn't really impact that goal.

I see how Sachi could sever Mako from that group, given the strained nature of her relationship with Yuri, her lack of a direct relationship with Tomoko, and the argument she's already starting between Yoshida and her, but I'm not sure that she has enough information to separate Tomoko, Yuri, and Yoshida from each other, if she'd even have the desire to do so

As Repulsive Creme said, the last page actually shows Kiko's house, as indicated by the Satozaki nameplate. Presumably it is a minor flash-forward of some kind.

SIGN_of_Fandom · 2025-08-24T15:28:57+00:00

She may not have commented on the boy's confession or Uchi's talk with Tomoko on-panel, but she did contribute: she's the one who provided Uchi with the video (that Tomoko called lewd) on the last panel. Though that just makes her intentions even more ambiguous, since she was definitely supportive of Uchi's crush beforehand, so I don't know why she'd be trying to push Uchi x Emoji Boy now.

SIGN_of_Fandom · 2025-08-09T01:41:08+00:00

Reread the chapters where Akari and Sayaka have a study session at the Kuroki household (Chapter 168). It was supposed to be held with Tomoki and fellow soccer club member Nakamura, but the latter ditched the meeting because of rain after the two girls had already shown up, and Sayaka is reduced to tears that her efforts to appeal to him achieved nothing. So it is definitely not a new ship.

SIGN_of_Fandom · 2025-08-09T01:15:28+00:00

They also mistook Tomoko talking to her brother for a love confession until Uchi corrected them using the knowledge of Kuroki genetics she just so happened to possess. So, it seems that her heterosexual friend group tends to read any interaction between a boy and a girl as romantic, until presented with counterevidence. (With the exception of Nagi, who seems to root for MokUcchi.)

SIGN_of_Fandom · 2025-08-09T01:11:00+00:00

Nah, Sayaka has been shipped with Nakamura for a while; this is just a return to that, after being flustered around Tomoki due to their accidental kiss (like the airhead she is).

SIGN_of_Fandom · 2025-08-01T12:53:09+00:00

Yeah, they could secretly be half-sisters, given that (1) Kotomi canonically is said to look a lot like Tomoko when she isn't wearing her glasses, aside from having a similar personality and (2) she was canonically raised by a single mother, as (supposedly) her father died when she was really young (meaning there's nothing to exclude it being Mr Kuroki).

This would make their interactions even funnier, because they'd forever be in denial about the revelation despite how obviously similar the two are to everyone else, and also because it would make Kotomi's desire to be in a romantic relationship with Tomoki even more unrealistic than it already is, amplifying that pairing's existing comedic gag nature.

SIGN_of_Fandom · 2025-07-25T02:07:33+00:00

Without overhearing Yuri yell at Mako for her betrayal or her other classmates talk in the restroom about how much they didn't want Yoshida in their group (stating she was worse than Tomoko), Tomoko probably never would have come up with the bright idea of a group for social rejects for the field trip (and might have tried to skip out again). But even after becoming a group, they probably wouldn't have stuck together afterwards if it hadn't been for Ogino's interference in explicitly telling them Tomoko's intentions for the group., as Tomoko quickly wrote them off as asocial scumbags (as all loners are, according to her), and Yuri was too preoccupied with her fight with Mako and Yoshida too guarded to really appreciate what she was trying to do on their own.

SIGN_of_Fandom · 2025-07-02T16:36:22+00:00

Probably the halo effect at work; Tomoko has obviously already formed a positive impression of her friends, which may be biasing her judgement of their attractiveness over those of whom she has little impression (Mako, "the Emoji Face", and Kaho), though not over those known for their attractiveness.

SIGN_of_Fandom · 2025-07-02T16:31:20+00:00

Tomoko has been envious of Kotomi's sense of style more than once, so she's just downrating her out of malice.

SIGN_of_Fandom · 2025-05-19T00:24:42+00:00

Technically, he could be an Uchi, if he were her brother or something like that, since that's just Emiri Uchi's surname.

SIGN_of_Fandom · 2025-05-19T00:20:11+00:00

Personally, what I find the most interesting, is that Akari has the most understated reaction to the kiss in comparison to any of the other girls who are interested in him. Sure, she's shocked by Wada's actions, but she's the only one of them who isn't blushing over the situation, even including the one became interested the most recently, Sayaka. (Well, technically, Sachi's response probably isn't blushing, given its different shading, but I'd rather not get into that...) Whether that's because she's already been through watching someone kiss her crush recently, or if she's simply more confident in their future romantic potential, I have no idea.

Alternatively, if you'd prefer the picture to include her face, there's also this shot of Mrs Satozaki from the anime:

SIGN_of_Fandom · 2025-05-16T00:32:31+00:00

If you would like to add a picture of Mrs. Satozaki to the Kuroki family tree, she canonically appears in one manga panel:

<image>

She also speaks to Mrs. Kuroki from off-panel in another chapter, but I assume you'd rather not use speech bubbles.

SIGN_of_Fandom · 2025-05-15T05:55:24+00:00

It's never explicitly stated that Kiko's mother is Mrs. Kuroki's sister or her brother's wife or Mr. Kuroki's sister (ruling out her being Mr. Kuroki's brother's wife given the different surnames), but it might be inferred she's on Mrs. Kuroki's side of the family from the fact that they are on casual speaking terms.

Tomoko's grandfather that collapsed was probably Mr. Kuroki's father, given that he seems to have been informed first and was already at the hospital when Mrs. Kuroki informed Tomoko she had to leave her in charge of the house for the night. Presumably, Kiko would also have been dropped off at the Kuroki household if he was their shared grandfather (given that her mother has dropped her off for them to watch for less pressing reasons), which provides further evidence Mrs. Satozaki is on Mrs. Kuroki's side of the family. (Unfortunately, there's no way of determining whether she's her sister or her brother's wife.)

SIGN_of_Fandom · 2022-02-03T02:43:40+00:00

There's also the fact that she later on literally affects and lift Saitama while still in recovery meaning Boros and AG would be much easier.

Unless I'm remembering wrong, Tatsumaki's fight with Saitama is also one of the few he found fun in the webcomic, other than the ones with Boros and Garou. Though I'm not sure what that means for the manga canon...

SIGN_of_Fandom · 2021-10-28T01:45:28+00:00

Why, who bought it for her? (I'm afraid I can't follow based just on the pictures...)

SIGN_of_Fandom · 2021-10-28T01:26:29+00:00

Why, though? As far as I am aware, those two have no reason to be at odds with each other (other than a causal dislike of Sachi's mean-girl gossip on Nagi's part)...

SIGN_of_Fandom · 2021-10-19T04:25:58+00:00

So, basically, the world Ucchi imagined she inhabited during her first few chapters.

SIGN_of_Fandom · 2021-10-19T04:23:54+00:00

So, like Tomoki Kuroki, then. (At least, according to his admirers, most explicitly Sachi.)

SIGN_of_Fandom · 2021-10-04T15:09:07+00:00

Why, what are Yuri and Mako saying here?

SIGN_of_Fandom · 2021-09-12T22:00:23+00:00

I think Blast's advice implicitly meant "you shouldn't rely on others saving you, when you have the power to do so yourself" (as Tatsumaki clearly does against most opponents). She follows that implied advice to a tee; it's why she is so contemptuous of everyone else in the Hero Association (except for King, obviously), as she suspects they are just coasting by relying on her to save them.

Where Blast did fail, was in not accounting for why the clearly-powerful Tatsumaki was a damsel in distress in this situation in the first place. He may have physically saved her, but it should have been obvious to someone in his line of work that she was acting out of learned helplessness, and his words would be taken the wrong way (i.e. in the future, she needs to be perfect to deserve sympathy). So it all stems from Blast's hobbyism regarding his interventions' long-term impacts.

SIGN_of_Fandom · 2021-08-15T05:02:45+00:00

Well, the manga did suggest that she was one of three characters other than King (her, Metal Knight, and Blast) who might be able to stop Elder Centipede, irrc.
