I doubt that there’ll be much more focus on Saki after this chapter for a while. However one question I’ve been asking myselft after reading the chapter (and I might be reaching here) is that did Saki stop smoking completely after the fire incident, did she quit sometime later, or did she stop recently? I guess I’m still considering the possibility of her being pregnant and a lack of smoking from Saki in itself is not really a point towards as much as when she stopped.

I dunno, I read that bit more as Kousaka joking “The secret’s out?!” in regards to Saki making it clear right off the bat that her character is a dude, and Saki’s going “That’s not even a secret.”

Of course to the Fujoshi mind, the only reason to Madarame date with Keiko, would be her similarity with Sahasara, since he couldn’t accept his feelings, lol…

I’d like to see him hook up with Katou-sama tbh just to see the shenanigans that would ensue.

I think that Keiko is probably jealous. And let’s face it, how do you compete with a boy that is prettier and behaves more as a girl than most girls? Madarame deserves better than Keiko, but for Keiko, Madarame is probably the best guy she could hope: someone who would really care for her.

Oh please, my wife looks nothing to resembling myself, that’s more than an urban legend. Give Kio-Chan some credit the brother/sister resemblance is mild at best as to keep with family identifiers in the character designs. But say if Angela and Madarame do “Hook-up” no similarities in character design there. Same goes for Sue, Hato, or Keiko. WHO Knows, maybe Katou will be Madarame’s new interest. We won’t know for a little bit I say but the best part will be travelling with them to watch and learn.

With Keiko getting larger parts in the story now I can’t help but recall one of Saki’s great lines when she said that Keiko looks just like Sasahara. Of course Sasahara himself knows that because he’s her brother but it makes me wonder if any of the other girls (or guys for that matter) ever noticed that about her. If they didn’t, it could definitely make things more awkward if Oguie ever starts to wrap her mind around the idea of Madarame possibly ending up with a girl who looks kind of like her boyfriend.

I still say that the reason that Hato and Keiko can’t get along is jealousy; either she’s jealous of the way Hato pays attention to Madarame, yet denies feeling anything for the latter… or she’s jealous of the fact that Hato and Madarame seem to fit together real well, and she barely gets the time of day from him. Or it’s the passive-aggressive way Hato acts around Madarame that bugs her (like she said back in 79, when she stated that she hated girls who got upset when they weren’t the only people to know something).

And I thought her fujioshi credits were established back when Ohno introduced her to the ‘real people’ doujins…

Also, DAMN, Kousaka. You be trollin’ – and if I was in Madarame’s shoes, I’d be trolling him right back.

Itttai! @-@ now I have to read this after you have already. -_-; but I want to see it translated so I can follow it at the same pace and understanding. So how far of actual volumes is this cont. are there 1? 2? Or 3 now? And Have you read the novel “return of the otaku?” where it is from what I hear sort of Scooby doo’ish in plot?
