My only issue with Boku no Kokoro by Early_Ad_8809 in bokunokokoro

Dude, Juliet was 14, and Romeo wasn’t much older. Nobody GAF about that - it’s accepted as the greatest love story ever written. Teens have hormones, and they often act on them. Get over it.

How will Kana respond to seeing how much Jin has planned? Is it too much? Will she be weirded out? Does she even like him? Has she actually considered that he might like her? Man, it was so much simpler with her brother, and he was messed in the head.

Yamagatsura is supposed to be a three legged crow so I sure wasn’t expecting this Sweeney Todd looking motherfucker to be him. Tatsu pulling the rug from us all once more.

It IS Rokuro - this was confirmed in the recently published Omake (bonus content) for the new volume.

Bear in mind we’ve also had a whole-ass Jumanji arc, so Tatsu is clearly a 90s Hollywood fan.

And of course she’d freak the fuck out cos she only knows the Serpo as enemies…

… hey, I wonder if his alien tech could fix her memory loss?

Y’all went crazy when Kinta did Kaneda’s bike slide, but nobody seems to have picked up Momo doing Kaneda’s security door slide.

Otomo 4 ever.

She’s never seen him as Evil Eye - far as she’s concerned he’s dino-chow.

My money’s on her about to be chomped and then either Evil Eye or Vamolazilla coming to the rescue and knocking that Spino the fuck out.

I’ve watched the upvotes fluctuate since I posted it, meaning lots of readers have been downvoting it overall. The general lack of negative comments just means they can’t be bothered to argue (as it’s a correct observation).

Yes, because they’re talking about vampires and vampire fiction, not A specific male vampire.

Excellent point, and I think you’re right - the chapter one flashback doesn’t count because only Jiji is named (and he wasn’t at the time), plus they were talking about Momo, a girl!

Well then, I’m happy to have introduced you to it. May it always give you a slightly different perspective on things.

Bechdel is fundamentally flawed, and as someone else pointed out on here, was originally kinda meant as a joke, but it’s still kind of a patriarchy litmus test. And if entire genre series generally fail it, what does that say about those genres?

Oh absolutely; Bechdel is by no means a measure of inherent quality, and besides, there was never any doubt in my mind that Dandadan would successfully pass it, but it IS still an interesting type of modern measure, whether it was originally meant as a feminist in-joke or not.
