Lol this guy is gonna go lazy, target a child to murder, and then quit and go home at the first sign of resistance.

I have lower expectations.

Over the next 100 pages NEET man won't even leave the house, he may not even finish breakfast for another 20. It's all navel gazing from here on out.

This is all a prediction but:

Tohru's going to call the Kansas guy out but using ambiguous language that leads to a misunderstanding. Something like, "Hey I know you..." Or "I owe from before." Maybe even "Why did you do that?"

Kansai is going to think he's busted, either he'll try to run and emasculate himself in front of the girl or he'll try to pay Tohru back. Next choice will be along the lines of do you join the pickpocket gang?

There's something very fitting about going back to this choice and first thing that happens is Oda ripping up the manga that killed them both.

Hey Mr Steak, I'm going to thank you again for recommending Space Brothers again here (because it is awesome) and now curse you out for getting me hooked. The website I was reading it on runs out at volume 16 and hasn't updated in two years, because of you I am considering buying manga for the first time since I was a teenager. Right now I'm weighing up the options of either a kindle unlimited subscription or hard copies.

This is your fault. You did this to me.

(i feel tempted to give CheeseThief my madokami login info, but i think its against forum rules and he doesnt have private messages activated.)

Don't do anything that could potentially slow or stop the flow of NEET.

NEET must flow.

Plus I ended up buying a couple of the kindle issues, the absolute bastards at amazon had free access on kindle unlimited right up until the same point where fan translations stop. I'm guessing the translators dropped it when it got licensed? Anyway I can afford to pick up an issue once in a while and it would support the author so I'm fine.

Most big European companies still have a fax banging about. I had to deal with one at my last job and the only time anything happened with it was when some rear end in a top hat taped several completely black printouts into a loop and sent it.

I used to work for a major UK hotel chain and they handle faxes for business bookings. Mostly because of out dated companies that want to book rooms, partly because faxes count as a legal document where emails don't or something?

Translate the SFX phonically then explain what they mean in comments. You'll thank me when you have to translate the sound effect for a tense silence.

So what's the deal with the princess line? Are the any clues in the Japanese that would make it clear if it's her real name, a nick name or like an online handle? Is she calling herself Hime-chan or something to show she's weirdly conceited or is princess an actual family name in Japan?

Watch him spoil the game anonymously, and since the company can't figure out who did it they just lay off the whole QA team

Nah that's too dramatic.

At best he will chicken out or at most post super basic info. Princess will be the one that can't contain herself and gets fired for leaking.

Might even be Tohru that reports her.

Amanuma here troubleshooting Tohru, gonna find all those bugs in no time.

I'm half expecting this arc to branch off any page now with one route being Tohru unable to avoid the misunderstanding. He'll end up married to Princess with kids and a house, having long internal monologues about how he wishes he were still NEET.

Princess is so softly spoken are we sure she's saying "kawaii" and not "kowai"?

Maybe everything Tohru does is terrifying her.

This manga has taught me to expect two things: that Tohru and the people in his life are terrible.

My bet is Princess will bad mouth him to manager lady/spread rumours that destroys his crush's opinion of him, Tohru will make the master stroke of living up to that gossip to throw people off balance.

Tohru will only know anime songs, fret about it for ten pages (maybe throw some shade at his co-workers mentally at the same time), he'll settle on something kind of obscure that might not be recognised but someone totally will.

It's impressive how different part time and crime NEET are without feeling like entirely different characters. Tohru learns the same life lessons under different circumstances with (hopefully) different results.
