Comic Update: Let’s We Are Enjoying Good Law-Men Times
Throughout most of these comics, Tina is the straight man, while Rets plays the fool, but every now and then I like to switch it around, resulting in Tina being even more ruined than Rets could ever hope to be. I personally haven’t seen grotesque BL (haven’t seen much BL at all, really) but I’m sure at least ONE BOOK must exist. Tina has alluded to having a violent personality beneath her cute clothes and smiles, but I think this is the first time she’s every really expressed an interest in guro.
I’m not really sure how I feel about the artwork. The lines looked fine on paper, but something got lost in translation. The sunset effect is fine, I guess. Oh, and I’d just like to mention that otaku girls in Japan do dress pretty similar to how Tina does, surprisingly enough. I guess she’s not all that unrealistic after all!
June 27th is now coming to an end in Japan, and by now a good part of the nation has seen Eva 2.0, and so have I! Here’s my review! I won’t write much about it here aside from the fact that it’s very, very, very good. Way better than the previous movie. Fly to Japan to watch it! I dare you!
The new Haruhi is finally under way. It made a pretty big splash with its one self-contained time-traveling adventure, and has now moved on to what will probably be a three episode story arc. I think this current story arc is fine, but not the best the series has to offer. I like it, but I hope it’s resolved in some awesome way. At least the outfits are awesome. Especially Mikuru’s! Ah, she’s so cute. Thank you, KyoAni. Thank you.
That was a little longer than previous weeks, but I’m all anime’d out after that Eva reivew. I was planning on even doing a Shin Mazinger post today, but that’ll have to wait. Until next time!
Oh, it exists.
It most certainly exists.
Is there a particular reason why ‘dame’ is in katakana and not hiragana?
Hmmmm… is it just me, or is Tina kinda hinting “Hey, we have so much in common, Rets, we might be more than friends if you weren’t so oblivious”?
Too bad Rets has no interest in either three-dimensional women or bewbz…
No, she isn’t doing that at all.
>>wohdin
I knew it! My intuition is second to none!

In my experience, dame tends to be written in katakana. Probably for emphasis.
the last panel with the japanese mum is one of the funniest things you’ve done in a while. By this, I mean you went to 120% funny rather than 100%.
good on you for watching Eva 2.0. I envy you greatly.
>>I think this current story arc is fine, but not the best the series has to offer. I like it, but I hope it’s resolved in some awesome way. At least the outfits are awesome.
I’ve already read the short story the arc is based on, and it does end pretty awesomely. Though really, I was surprised they didn’t end it last episode, as they really could have. However, them doing that extra episode does reinforce the feeling of repetition that the original story in the Rampage of Haruhi Suzumiya didn’t have.
I have to say, I do like the second panel. The art of course is off, but Rets’ line and the expression you were going for were great.
(I kind of want to see why Tina has that loli though. It can’t simply be because it’s cute, right?)
I see Tina’s Yandere form in my sleep sometimes. When I woke up once, my pillow was gone.
>>good on you for watching Eva 2.0. I envy you greatly.
laggan-hen makes me envious, not Eva 2.0 >.>
Also…what’s wrong with gay guro?…what’s wrong with guro in general? <-<

Very relevant.
XD
nice Genshiken reference.
pretty sure I’ve come across bl guro before, but I can’t remember any exact images, probably a brain defense mechanism.
i want his shirt
Bah! And here I thought I had some inspirational material for my Rets x Tina doujin…
(Just kidding. I can’t draw.)
Is that kid in the last panel drooling with a “DO WANT” expression?
>>Hmmmm… is it just me, or is Tina kinda hinting “Hey, we have so much in common, Rets, we might be more than friends if you weren’t so oblivious”?

that would actually kinda suck if MoY went that route i mean so many web comics have segwayed into an unnecessary romance thing when they want to sell out or run out of ideas, at that point i tend to stop following that series because everything just goes mediocre or just plain bad.
Exactly!
I agree, even though I normally like a little romance in stories, it’d just be plain weird in Mistake of Youth (no offense).
Yeah, reading this strip bought me some pretty bad memories when I was 12 and just new to BL manga… *shudder*
There was a shounen-ai mangaka who did all this cute light hearted gag stuff, but later also wrote these seriously sick guro doujinshi of her own characters usually in at least a 3p… x-(
It totally didn’t help that I had no idea what NC-17 meant back then… ;_;
btw, would anyone mind explaining the Japanese dialogue in the last panel please?
Huh? They sell doujinshi in Ikebukuro?
Oh well, no need for me to take it so literally. gj.
Never heard of Otome Road?
@catzcradle: The mother says “Micha dame yo!” which means “You mustn’t look!”
@Zelkiiro
Thanks for the explanation. :)
@K1: Mandarake.
one of these days i’ll do a fanart for your comic and your eyes will bleed and you will shed tears of what I will do to your characters….BWAHAHAHAHA
Look up Waita Uziga, especially Death panda if you want shota boys being “guro’ed” IMO.
