I really like revisiting the earlier chapters after reading the newer ones because it helps give new perspective on the earlier interactions of these two.
The way how Hanako speaks to Yashiro, even from the beginning of their partnership, is so cute and sweet in a way I don't know how to explain. Sure, he's definitely still a jerk at times, but the general manner in which he interacts with her makes me smile like an idiot.
I like how he's not even angry or too upset with her, he's simply like, "Stop the cap. Just fess up and I'll help."
Identical. Absolutely Identical.
☹
The 'frog' incident is still VERY up in arms for me here, but this does provide some explanation that I think people don't generally look into. I do feel very bad for him, but that's what I think it should just be---explanation and not justification.
I am glad he's a bit less of a weirdo than his manga counterpart (if you know, you know), but it's still Jinshi and he still has quite a LOT to learn about relationships (at least from what I know).
Honestly i feel like Jinshi's behavior and him being pushy when it comes to Maomao suddenly makes sense when you realize he's been basically a victim of multiple sexual assaults/attempts at such throughout his life (can't find the exact part in the books rn but it's mentioned that people have been regularly trying to sneak into his chambers due to his nymph-like beauty, and then there's the fact that people have been straight up sending him underwear made from their HAIR??? Like the amount of people we'd consider stalkers that Jinshi attracts is insane) + then there's the fact that his entire life anything that belonged to him was immediately taken away from him. Like. This man needs therapy, i genuinely don't think he knows how romancing someone works and how to deal with wanting to "have" someone for himself, like obviously he probably knows the basics of it but the way he's trying to flirt with her was probably unfortunately influenced by how people always acted around him
And then he's also trying to rush the romance because he fears he'll lose Maomao or she will be taken away from him
And then the fact that she's basically making all these grossed out faces around him and is treating him like a normal person - he probably feels safe around her
He's such a poor lil meow meow
She is an icon. She is a legend. And she IS the moment.
Yeah for real, why is he surprised, lol?
Yeah, I already made a whole post about that mess. It's kinda sad we won't really get to see this dynamic again where he was all cute and helpful. I wish we could, but I'm not too hopeful it will. Fortunately and unfortunately, this is why we have fanfiction.
I miss it where he was this gentle guide who playfully reprimanded her for stuff but still ultimately had a sweet spot for her. He still does but now he's gone down the way of the yandere.
I may ship these two but whoooo doggy does Hanako need someone to smack him with a relationship book.

I hope what he was going to say was "I'll respect your wishes to not further this relationship, all the while I am upset you lied to me."
That would definitely be more preferable :>
Hotaru no Yomeiri
For real. He went from "I'm making waffles" to "I'm making nose candy."
Blud looks like the donkey version of Marty (T o T)
Everyone's talking about Shrek and Pinocchio's redesigns, but what the hell is going on with Donkey??
It got even bigger this week 😂
Y'all have been going crazy with the support, thank you so much. This is actually insane.
Drawing pose used was of a Tobey Maguire pic. You can't tell me the pose doesn't fit.
I find it so funny how Japanese manga will have either the most mysterious titles or the most specific crazy ones. There's like no in between.
Example:
Manga 1: The Red River
Manga 2: The time I accidentally killed my boss and got reborn in my sister's body
