Komi Can’t Communicate Season 1 Episode 6 Review

It’s Like Chinese Takeout, A Little Bit Of This And Some Of That…
So we have reached the halfway point of Season 1. This is a bunch of Chapters crammed together into a vignette of little happenings.

Also the opening 3D span of the class reminds you this is all done in computers. How things have changed since my early Anime days.

The opening is brief as Komi tries out her dad jokes on Tadano. After that it’s the Chapter where they find out Komi traditionally ships for her clothes with her mom. The eternally 17 yo adult.

So this sets up a shopping trip. Where Komi goes to a shopping mall with Tadano, Najimi, Agari… And the United ninvited Yamai. If course she shows up.

Spoiler… She’s stalking Komi like nobody’s business. Career Stalkers on the internet have a Reddit post all about it. R slash I’m Better Than Yamai Ren.

So since this shopping trip is led by… Wh– You mean Najimi actually reacted to Agari doing her faithful dog act by saying they’re not taking her out for walkies?!? Was that in the manga? I don’t remember that being in the manga.

See the above? More proof that Yamai Rem is affluent rich. As she offers to buy the whole outfit above for Komi.

Another love of the Anime. It adds little quirks and so on that boosts the already good source material this Anime draws on. Why I’m sure a lot of you are eager for Season 3 to be made.

Sigh. Thing is MAYBE the series creator and the Anime Studio making this needs to remind Netflix they have to make a Season 3 order or lose the rights. Move it or lose it as it were.

Anyway since Najimi is running the shopping trip, suddenly it’s Project Runway Komi Edition. It’s nice. As everyone picks out an outfit for Komi, and she picks Tadano’s one.

And she do likes Tadano’s one, she decides to get her hair cut… I’m sure these were two unconnected Chapters but again it’s what makes the Anime so good. Anyway the hapless take of the barbershop interns first Komi encounter.

Najimi hates tests. That requires actual work and study. This whole Chapter is just here to let you know Agari works in the school library, and the Librarian is the giant female friend of B-Ko’s from Project A-Ko in the 80s… She aged well.

The episode ends with Komi building up the courage to talk to Tadano about an outing during the summer, but Najimi being the one arranging it. Nice.

So yes. The big trip to the pool planned at the end of this episode? It’s timorrow. Also… How is it Yamai manages to stalk Komi outside of her home all summer and nobody has her arrested?!?

Fun at the pool turns tragic when Komi falls down and hurts herself. The non tragic tragic moment that is dramatic for a few minutes. Also sister Tadano Hitomi, teased in this episode, appears fully tomorrow. See you.

So we won’t see Hitomi stalk Komi’s brother Shosuke until Season 3… Again I’m sure you all will think the wait was worth it when it finally happens. Though…

Why didn’t the Live Drama Komi save itself the humiliation of trying to be the Anime? It should have adapted Year 2 and Volume 10-up. It might have lasted longer if it did. Just saying.

Yen Press Assorted Entanglements Volume 1 Review Chapter Five (Digital)

She Only Wants To Be Someone’s Number One… Without The Several Year Schooling At Starfleet Academy.
These bite sized Chapter are quick to review, so we will be in and out rather quickly unless something deep or intense happens in the Chapter. Ok? Ok.

Iori is taken out of bed and to the beach by Minami. At four AM in the morning. I’ll assume they both have the day off today. Otherwise wow.

She tells us how she has had a bad history of being used as a sextoy by others. Basically fun for a few romps in bed (or wherever sex occurs in Pornhub videos) and that’s it.

So used to being dumped when she outlived her brief usefulness she thinks Minami is here to dump her. Not even close. She just wanted to be with Iori. Maybe even make special memories with her.

That’s sweet. Realizing she’s with a person who truly wants to be with her, and love her, she breaks down crying. That’s just a sweet heart tugging moment right there. Loved it. Heartfelt lovely in only four pages.

They’re at the waterfront so directly after this Chapter ends they can go to a nearby 24 hour firebrand eat breakfast. Then Iori can figure out what level of Coffee infusion courses through Minami’s blood.

I’m thinking Extra Strong as she can sex and rebound fast to take Iori out here at early in the morning. Our while all the judgmental jerks are still sleeping.

Hey. Did you know I started a group on Facebook celebrating Live Stage productions and the global theater of the arts? THE WORLD STAGE BECKONS. My Facebook group. Looking for members who love live stage, and sees past Broadway to the greater world stage. Looking forward to growing my group.

New review tomorrow so see you then.

Komi Can’t Communicate Season 1 Episode 5 Review

Nakanaka Fantasy V The Rise Of Ramen Core
So briefly in a purely technical front. I had a little bit of a rough time starting up the DVD today. I guess I should put a DVD cleaner on my list for the future.

So we have mostly follow ups… And one new friend. Two if you count the addition of Makeru Yadano who technically is a rival?

So we are back to Makeru, who breaks the fourth wall by addressing the audience. Again. Also she recaps physical exam day… Why? It wasn’t that long ago it happened. Oh well.

She still wants to beat Komi. And she ends up losing to get again. No chance for an illusion of a tie here. But Komi extends the hand of friendship… Oh wait no she’s too scared to do that.

Anyway misinterpreting Komi’s intentions (inability to shake hands), a common trait of this Anime, Makeru surmised that Komi wants the rivalry to continue. And so it has. They just had her briefly rival Komi in Volume 10 (Season 3)…

Yes yes. I am many volumes behind. I’ll get to the end eventually. That is to say by the time I get to Year 3 Komi graduated and the series ended. So… Yeah.

Najimi talks Komi into having her and Tadano over at her place. They meet Komi Shuko for the first time. Aka Komi Shoko’s mom, the eternally 17 year old adult woman. Cute visit that reveals a bit of Komi’s past.

Fingering for ramen, Komi Tadano and Najimi are going to visit a ramen shop after school. But which one? Enter Agari, now going for the first time into her more confident Ramen Core mode.

Thing is? We don’t find out about Ramen Core just yet. It needs to be another trip to a failing eatery that we finally are told about how Agari is better known in the internet as food critic Ramen Core.

Cute. Also Komi meets another introvert in the powerful yet soft spoken ramen master of the place Agari recommends from her cast Ramen Core experiences. Komi & The Ramen Master bond well.

That being a us to the one eyed Nakanaka. Who, according to the manga, is going through a phase. A phase where she seems to be an escaped character from a Square Enix prototype VR Final Fantasy game. Is that normal?

She tries to bond with Komi while lost in the most of her RPG obsessive madness. But it isn’t until Komi reaches out to pair up with her at gym that they become friends. A cute moment.

We will see more of Nakanaka and her phase… Until Season 3 slash Year 2, when a majority of the cast is relegated to mom or character status to make room for Rumiko. Her friends. And… Whoever else in Year 2 steps up as friends.

The end credits contains the scene where Najimi steaks Tadano’s umbrella after school, and this opens the opportunity for him and Komi to share an umbrella on the wall home.

The manga Chapter this is from? Full narrative and dialogue if I remember right. Here? A few notes and Komi messages. Otherwise mostly silent to make way for the ending theme. That’s ok.

The scene doesn’t lose any of its charm by this choice. In fact you might like the Anime version better than the Manga for this scene. Viewers choice and all.

And that is Episode 5. We might as well go through the whole season. We won’t stop until next Sunday and Episode 12. Then we can get back to Sinbad, Ultraman x2, and start up Beowulf The Series. For starters. So see you tomorrow as we reach Episode 6.

VIZ Fly Me To The Moon Volume 18 Review Chapter One Hundred & Sixty-One (Digital)

Forget 1770 Paris! Just Stop Kanane’s Dirty Mind!
So the first half of this Chapter is 1770 era Tsukasa witnessing, driving, and wrecking the world’s first steam powered car. I have a feeling they could do a whole edutainment spinoff of Tsukasa just teaching about history… Go on. Id but it.

Nasa is talking to Tsukasa about learning how to drive… By the way? That 1770 story? Outs what year the present is as if this Chapter. This takes place in… 2020. 250 years after that Paris incident.

So this is a series taking place in the early days of the pandemic. Funny. Now Kaguya’s mask disguise fits the timeline. Go figure.

Also all Tsukasa can talk about is how modern vehicles have tech that Hetherington crashing… As apparently Tsukasa was great at crashing all forms of tech.

So you see? It wasn’t a bomb that blew up the Hiddenberg. The Captain let Tsukasa park it, and she crashed it. Many died. Oops.

Remember Nasa’s lady friend who is a major gearhead? We haven’t seen her in a long while, but now that Nasa is going to be in the market for a car? Her time as a useful character has come!

Though for this Chapter they just reference Animes that use a certain car (like Initial D), and the Delorean from Back To The Future. Which is timely as the Musical just premiered in the UK of 2020!

The Chapter ends with Nasa returning from his first day of learning how to drive. It was hard. After all… Driving at 19 miles per hour is way too fast for him!!

Uhh… Well. He’s already mentally too old to drive. Maybe it’s time to go back to the idea of Chitose and the Combat Maids… And the limo driver… Taking them?

But this is just the beginning. Maybe next weekend will be better for Nasa? We shall see. Stay tuned. Anyway tomorrow it’s back to Assorted Entanglements. A love affair where Lesbian Sex came first… Then verification of your partners age is… Fifth? See you.

Komi Can’t Communicate Season 1 Episode 4 Review

It’s A Sociopathic Day In Yamai’s Neighborhood…
Who’s ready for a rousing game of Yandere Clues! Got your handy dandy notebook? Your pen? Your Stranger Danger Whistle? And Robocop’s Auto-9? Good! Let’s play!

First off its class fitness exam day. Where your failings is publically on display for all to see. Clearly events like this are geared to prepare young Japanese boys & girls for Office Culture Life!

Yeah… Japan?!? When I went to school I didn’t have a well documented case history of youth suicides in my country to consider… You do! Stop! Enough! Get help, Japan!!

Anyway this is the introduction of Makeru, the overtly competitive one. I guess it’s good that we rarely see her in Season 3 to 4 aka Year 2, but… If you like her then you better absorb all the Makeru you can now.

And now, proof positive that every non series character you see walking about a manga or anime is a holographic projection. Or a lie. And that is… The taking of Tadano by Yamai.

Think about it. Busy sidewalk on a typical weekday morning. Even if it’s light pedestrians and cars? Did NOBODY see Yamai subdue Tadano, drag his unconscious body all the way to get affluent home, and hide him in her room?!? NOBODY!!

Yeah. That’s a level of ignorance of the facts that even Christian Apologetics would have a hard time believing. Also? Yamai is such an absolute deranged pervert after kidnapping Tadano?!? Sharon Stone’s character from Basic Instincts is afraid of her!!

Uhh… So Yamai say in Tadano’s chair all day. In a strict rules governed school system where sneezing wrong gets you written up. Really?!? Yeah… I’m going to have to tap the X for doubt button.

Also it takes Najimi several minutes to realize that Yamai has secretly replaced Tadano with herself. Way to bring in the upshot there Yamai. But to be fair? She’s not the only clueless one.

So from the New Years story we know that Yamai’s family is fairly affluent. Enough to vacation in the beach of Waikiki During the busy new year season. So… Is her house empty during the day? Nobody walked into her room once to find Tadano.

Or are her folks just used to Yamai randomly kidnapping people to kill on a whim. How did this slip by everyone’s notice for… What! Several hours!! What???

Najimi tricks Yamai into inviting her and Komi to get house. They find Tadano in her closet. They free him, but are confronted by the crazed Yamai brandishing… Very sharp metal chopsticks.

Yeah. I’m pretty sure she had a kitchen knife in the manga. But then again mangas have a lower threshold on the things they can get away with, as opposed to Japanese over the air television… wait!

Wasn’t this always a Netflix exclusive?!? Didn’t that give them more latitude with what they can show?!? I seem to remember this being Netflix’s big acquisition. So much so it might explain why Japanese TV tried to make Live Drama Komi Can’t Communicate.

Komi walks Tadano out, being self assertive and shouting down Yamai. Najimi is left behind as a joke… Until you realize she’s also there to talk Yamai down from harming herself.

The next day is the touching emotional moment where Komi tries to end her friendship with Tadano. The Anime did this scene well. All the emotion is here, and the music choice is perfect. This scene gave me the feels.

In the end Tadano asserts that he chooses his friends and wants to be Komi’s friend. So touching! Also Najimi arrived with Yamai who finally is told about Komi’s communication disorder. She finally gets to become Komi’s friend.

And, as you see through Season 1-2 she also befriends Tadano too as she is nicer to him over time. So that’s great! A pity we barely see Yamai’s sociopathic childhood friend before Year 1 ends and she vanishes. But that’s a story for another time.

I had a bit of a hiccup playing the DVD today. What? But I bought it brand new supposedly… China! If anything happens I’ll let you know. Otherwise Episode 5 is tomorrow! So see you!

VIZ Fly Me To The Moon Volume 18 Review Chapter One Hundred & Sixty ( Digital)

The Missing Family Link Arrives!
So apparently I have been living under a delusion. Thinking it was Tokiko who signed Tsukasa’s marriage certificate. However? Looks like seeing that certificate back in Volume 1, or Episode 1 if you think Anime? Foreshadowed her appearance now.

Meet Shiori. Daughter of Tokiko. Mother of Chitori. And the missing family link we have been waiting for I’m guessing.

She is in the know about Tsukasa’s immortal nature. How could she not be given her role in Tokiko’s family. And she… Thinks Tsukasa is not living up to get true potential.

True. True. Tsukasa could have did more with her 1400 years of immortality. But she was kinda obsessed with finding the so called Goddess Of The Moon. Kaguya. So she kinda didn’t really think much about putting her immortality to good use.

And yes. I am sure Nasa will dispel the whole notion of Kaguya’s divinity in this universe, once they meet… If they haven’t already met that is.

She’s here because of the mansion where Tsukasa went into hiding in after Apollo 11 reached the moon. We saw it briefly in her story of how she met Chitose for the first time.

Apparently Shiori has inherited the mansion. And her mother Tokiko warned her to make sure she doesn’t throw away any of Tsukasa’s need stuff away without her permissions.

Yes. This is where the whole there will be war thing happens. Anyway Tsukasa and Nasa are going to the mansion to deal with Tsukasa’s belongings there. And maybe sort out the secret on the silicone chip as well.

However the mansion is in a secluded spot. They cannot take public transportation there. They will need a car… Before Tsukasa mentions eliciting the aid of Chitose and the Battle Maids, Nasa declares he’s getting his drivers license.

So yes. The big conflict past the mansion trip in this Volume is Nasa, getting his drivers license. Hmm… Pretty sure he won’t run into Elma while doing it but we shall see. His journey to self determination through driving starts tomorrow. See you.

Komi Can’t Communicate Season 1 Review Episode 3

Today? Komi Stalks Agari… BEFRIENDS!! BEFRIENDS AGARI!!
Apparently I keep remembering wrong. And by that I mean when the Yamai Ren kidnapping episode is. Its probably the next episode.

So this has Komi stalking Agari. Who is shy, nervous, easily upset and withdrawn… Also she thinks she’s chubby and not pretty. What lies. She’s very pretty.

Agari Himiko’s quirk has to do with food. Mainly when she’s in a diner or restaurant or buying new food? Her shy persona slips away, and her more confident Internet Foodie Reviewer persona of Ramen Core rises to the forefront.

But that revelation is for another time. Anyway we learn that Komi is seemingly stalking Agari because she’s the first friend that Najimi is helping Komi meet. A soft ball choice given they are on equal footing as introverts.

EXCEPT Komi, without waiting for help, tries to befriend Agari alone. And since this whole series tethers on the pendulum of misunderstanding Komi’s intentions? Agari thinks she’s being stalked. Of course.

Eventually the truth comes out and Komi makes a new friend… In the girl who, for a majority of Season 1-2, thinks she’s Komi’s faithful Basic Doggo… What?!?

Also as I said before? The Anime dev emphasizes Agari’s breast size until it has no choice but to acknowledge it. The Sports Festival. Case in point? Agari running up to trade numbers with Komi. Not as obvious as the manga. But you can see for yourself.

Also? When hiding from Komi in the bathroom (ie her favorite sanctuary from everyone), Agari calls out to Komi as god. She did that in the manga too I think… Odd because Komi isn’t dubbed God until shortly after this scene.

We have a few shorts. Komi gets a Feature Phone, and gets the numbers of Tadano, Najimi and Agari… After she thinks Komi wants a slutty image of her as wallpaper… Please stop feeding Rule34!

Then we have the vote for Class President. Because nobody wants to be Class President, he teacher tries yo nominate Komi. However Najimi saves her… By having Komi declared God of Class 1-1.

They still need a President… So Tadano is President, with Najimi as useless Vice President. Right. The episode ends with Komi and Tata I being brought in on a strange group game being led by Najimi…

Wait. Yamai Ren is part of this group rigjt? This leads to the kidnapping of Tadano I think. I know its about to happen but… That will probably be tomorrow.

Ok that was a fun episode. And today Agari Himiko joins the cast. Tomorrow? The Taking Of Tadano. This time I’m certain we are up yo this episode… Oh well. That’s tomorrow, so see you.

VIZ Fly Me To The Moon Volume 18 Opener Review Chapter One Hundred & Fifty-Nine (Digital)

5D Information?!? Can You Even Explain 4D Info!!!
WARNING WARNING WARNING
If you haven’t been reading the Manga reviews, and just came in from my Season 1 Anime reviews? Stop reading now!

The following takes place after Volume 15, which revealed the one secret yo ruin them all. So if you are not familiar with that? Either read all the reviews up until now… Or just skip these. Don’t worry. We will return to Assorted Entanglements come Monday. Ok? Ok! Anyway you have been warned…

Whistle while I stall… Seven Magical Creatures… I wonder if Rule34 has already run with that idea… Nope! Don’t care! Anyway…

Previously…
So for those who want yo know. Or just need a recap after I started the Anime review? All the teases of Kaguya, Goddess of the Moon is relevant NOT because Tsukasa is the Goddess of the Moon. But because she spent the last 1400 years hunting her!

Yes. The one secret to rule them all is… Kaguya’s I!mortality Potion? Wasn’t destroyed in this reality. The retainer sent to destroy it on MT Fujiyama-san… Didn’t do it. He gave it to his dying daughter, Tsukasa. Saving and cursing her at the same time.

In the aftermath of Tokiko’s passing from Volume 15, the country and world has come together to mourn her. A great woman who pulled herself up from the ashes of WWII… With help.

Amazed by her achievements, Nasa wishes that he could have learned from her before she died. To which Tsukasa says she wouldn’t have taught him anything.

We are referred to her legacy, passed to Nasa. The pendant containing the silicone chip encoded with 5-D info. This chip is supposed to help accelerate Nasa beyond Tokiko’s own greatness.

Huh? You mean this won’t contain info about Tsukasa that Tokiko learned? Or does it…

Ok my present theory about Nasa is that Tsukasa making him taste her blood, to stabilize his condition as he was bleeding out two years ago? That made him immortal. I think the 5D info warns that Tsukasa’s blood can make anyone immortal. We will see.

Anyway Tsukasa is still recovering from mourning Tokiko’s death. And having to witness the news and television in general obsessed with her passing? Doesn’t help matters.

So, in this title, when the going gets tough? The tough go shopping! For ingredients for spicy curry! This is supposed to be in this volume, the recipe. If it is Ill post it. Also they reference Cooking Mama while shopping for the curry.

This whole making of the spicy curry? Gives Tsukasa one more chance yo cry. Because, you know… Its the onions fault. Right.

The Chapter ends with a mysterious woman arriving at the bath house looking for Tsukasa. Who is she? Shes… The mother of Chitose. Tokiko’s daughter!

We heard her briefly mentioned last Volume. Now we get to meet her… But this is ambicle right? So why is this Chapter coming entitled This Means War?!?

So… The disposition of Tokiko’s faughter. What does she know about Tsukasa? And why does this mean war? Find out tomorrow. See you then.

Komi Can’t Communicate Season 1 Episode 2 Review

Let’s Befriend Najimi… Whu… Starbucks?!? Already??? Friend Request Rescinded!!
No. You didn’t miss Episode 1s review. We jumped right to Episode 2. Featuring g the first appearance of Yamai Ren and Osana Najimi. Aka The Yandere One and the Questionable Gender One.

So before we begin I just want to highlight why everyone wants more Komi Anime. I’m sure many has said this before, but… It’s good. You can tell everyone out 110% into this Anime!

From the Animation Team, to the Japanese Voice Cast. This brings the Manga to life well. And it does it in a way that even improves in the manga so… How can you hate this Anime?

Too it with a catchy and memorable Opening and Closing song? And you have a winner. Surely Netflix can… Never mind. Straight up Netflix, I think, only got Komi to check off a box on drawing subscribers.

If Netflix really was as dedicated to Komi as some might want them to be? The localization sub wouldn’t be so half ass. They would have fully translated and subbed the rich amount of text throughout each and every episode. Instead of their spotty subtitling.

But hey. This one time we can give the Chinese Bootleg a pass. They only stole from an inferiorally subbed version… So they could get a hold of the English dub I’m sure. If the Chinese Bootleg was trying to be better? They would have stole all the fan subtitling off YouTube. If hired same subbers for their sub.

But that would require PAYING talent, and Chinese Bootleggers take money in, not pay money out. Anyway…

We meet Yamai. Who’s one appearance is to use her Death Grip Whisper to call Tadano trash. That’s fine. We will talk about how she kidnaps him next episode.

This is all about adding Najimi to Komi’s Book of Friends. And adding her to the core cast. Thing is… I think I misinterpreted the Manga after watching this episode!

I thought the reason why Najimi became female was he lacked friends in Junior High Middle School. But the Anime suggests the exact opposite in that she always was great at making friends.

But then why! If my one theory just went out the window then why is Najimi suddenly transgender but only when she wants to be?!?

Najimi is supposed to be Komi’s next friend, but apparently he never knew until now that she had already met Komi in the past. And was frightened by her introversion. But after being begged by Tadano, she agrees.

And so Komi has to save Najimi from two friends, one of who seemingly loves Najimi… Huh? Wait. I know the Manga suggests Najimi knows them. But… Didn’t they know her when she was he?!?

Anyway a hallmark of Komi is that everyone misreads Komi’s introversion as something else. I’m This case that Komi wants to kill the Junior Fist Of The North Star stunt double here. While returning his dropped key. Anyway friendship secured.

However once unlocked, the Najimi achievement cannot be relocked. And thus Komi is lassoed into doing a fetch quest for Najimi from Starbucks. I do like how the Anime speeds up the order. Great. We don’t have time for that!

So apparently Najimi did this to help Komi fetch her a frappucino… I mean help Komi grow and learn to talk to others… Get her a frap. That’s it. Tadano follows her. Something he will become skilled at doing over the series run.

I like when Komi arrives at Starbucks. She reacts the same way we all do when we first enter a Starbucks! She… Sees the prices, nopes out, and leaves. Ok ok. She’s going to try and order.

Apparently Tadano should have insisted on Najimi writing her order down on paper. Because her order is way too many words for Komi to muster saying. It’s like making Komi be comfortable with public speaking by delivering a random Picard speech in front of the class!

As luck has it, Komi’s server has a Zen moment serving Komi, and goes all out making that drink. Also sped up in terms of its description for our convenience.

The episode ends with Najimi saying it’s not what she wanted… With Tadano and Najimi realizing making Komi cry will be an instant death sentence by the class. They beg forgiveness. Cute.

And that’s Episode 2! The start of a great and wonderful Season 1 that lies ahead. If course we can’t wait for Season 3-4, with a brand new open and close showing off Rumiko and Year 2 but… To Be Hopefully Cintinued…

Tomorrow if I remember right we add Agari to the Friends List. For future friends always stalk the ones they want to befriend! Fun note… The Anime doesn’t emphasize Agari’s breasts until it absolutely has no choice! Really! You’ll see.

Also it’s time for the Vanishing Of The Tadano. Also it’s time to add Yamai Ren to the Book of Friends. Also… A slight change of Yamai’s weapon of choice when threatening. But I’ll tell you how I remember it vs Episode 3 tomorrow. See you then.

Oh… Uhh… Does Yamai live alone with a sentient AI as Her caregiver? We know from Christmas Break her family is rich, but… Did nobody notice Yanai drag an unconscious boy into the house, leaving him tied up in her room to possibly die? Really? Yeesh.

Yen Press Assorted Entanglements Volume 1 Review Chapter Four (Digital)

Things Not To Do If You Are A Chronic Iori…
Take in a younger than realized tattooed girl you claim is a friend, but in fact know seemingly far less about her than you realize. But only realize this after having hot lesbian sex with her… Several times.

So this Chapter can be summed up as Don’t Invite Your Young Hot Lesbian Sexmate To Work scenario. Yeah. Uhh… I can see where the title Assorted Entanglements comes from.

Spoiler. They’re all the assorted entanglements Iori brought up in herself by getting drunk and letting lonely nature take its course.

So being a part of Japanese Office Culture stresses Iori out. And she remembers that Minami is open for calls anytime, so Iori makes the mistake of leaning on her new lover without field testing first.

Minami shows up at Iori’s job, with a hug and kiss for her right outside the office. Iori freaks out, thinking her bosses may be homophobic. It’s possible… But this is just to make Minami sad.

So yeah. Iori kinda needs to get to know her new lover way more before interacting with her in potentially dangerous situations. Like work… Though I think she should also find out more about Minami’s family…

Before the drunk stoned out of his mind father shows up with violence in his mind towards Iori. Out of nowhere. Just saying… Anyway these Chapters are all pretty much bite sized.

Tomorrow we will see what new complications Iori causes for herself as she navigates the mysteries of Lesbian Love. Tomorrow. Then it’s back to Fly Me To The Moon as we start up Volume 18.
