Just got to the bit where Carol's dad proposes to Carol's mom. Man what? I thought she was joking before, or some kind of space brained math was happening, or we'd go full Nichijou and she's at least a robot or something. But no it's just :pedo:

All the parents in this have been hilarious so far and then it got weird out of nowhere. I hope the anime just throws that out the window.

yeah no the author is a freak who drew mostly hosed up pornography before this

She does and was entirely the reason I checked out the English dub for the voicing both versions novelty - unfortunately she uses neither her natural accent nor a ridiculous faux British one. Sad!

I found it honestly kinda bad overall other than having Misuzu sounding just right, everything else had a crippling amount of "these people sound way to old for these characters" syndrome

I'm fine with them sounding different because hey, not everyone has a super high register. Tomo having a lower voice works.

I vaguely remember this coming up when this manga started getting popular around here, I think it was violent, uhh.. non-con stuff.

It's been a few years but did the Jun Misuzu relationship come up this early in the manga, I remember it coming up later

chumbler posted:

I'm pretty sure it came up waaaaaaaay later. It's interesting that they moved it this far forward and has me thinking there will be a lot of editing to make the story flow better.

It comes up very early, same as it does in the anime, but the anime uses panels from the fully fleshed out flashback much, much later in the manga. It's kinda weird. The second flashback was a deliberate recontextualization of the first so using material from the second one in the first one threw me off a bit.

Some real terrible stuff (actually sfw and funny but with a false sense of peril, don't worry) it's the tied sleeves gag

But also a reminder that pretty much all mangaka start out with smutty doujins to varying degrees to get recognition and there's no need to act like they're all malevolent sickos. They wouldn't be where they are without it, unfortunately and fortunately.

Yeah. I was super shocked when I was younger and found out CLAMP started out with yaoi porn, but then I thought of how they design their men, all long, lean, with huge hands, and thought, "This makes sense."

Everyone at karaoke was great.

Weird shot of Tomo’s feet was … weird.

X/1999 hits different when you realize that Kamui and Fuuma perfectly fit into CLAMP's ideal male/male pairing, started with them shipping Jotaro (Top) with Kakyoin (Bottom).
