Only 2 more days until we see Maomao again!
>>274972312I honestly didn't watch the first season. Maybe I will give it a look
>>274972312
Waiting for this scene
this is the season that will overtake the manga yeah?
>>274972616Good thing there are 14+ volumes of the LN
wait wait, S2 will start airing in 2 days???
>>274972616Pretty manga, it won't overtake ugly manga(now starting LN5)
>>274972901>LN>good
>>274972312Will she get Shinji sama´s bezoar this season?
>>274972312I'd gladly continue reading this series but if it was actually well-written. I like Maomao, like her relationship with the fake eunuch, it's just the way the story is written sucks real bad
>>274973507That's not bezoar...
Oh boyare we gonna have maomao threads?
Time to rewatch I guess. Already completely forgot what happened in the manga
Is this 2 cour again?
>>274974394Sure hidden and buried under all the solo leveling, Dr stone, Naruto, one piece, Dbs, threads.
nails
>>274975324I can't wait to have a bunch of fags come in and ask why this "gets so many threads" completely unironically
>>274975324What the fuck happened to this board? And it only happened in the last few years. I know it was the pandemic bringing all kinds of garbage posters here, but Jesus Christ usually shit evens out when newfags actually develop taste, but it seems this batch is proud to be eternally entry level.
>>274975592Brown third worlders flooding the site en masse
>>274975592Oldnewfags would eventually develop into regularfags with diverse taste and engage in discussions (and shitposting) about the various things theyve watched. They would always search for new shows or manga to engage with to refine their pallette.Modern newfags come in and watch only what's at the top of the popular list and think those are the best things ever because they usually don't have woke retard shit in them like theyre used to watching in western media. But they never move beyond it and don't really care for discussions because they already only watched those animes while scrolling through tiktok anywaysBasically their attention span is so fried they cant engage with anything in any meaningful capacity besides zoomer memerismsSadBut this is the situation we find ourselves inConstant shitpost bait threads about shitty anime while threads seeking discussion about a specific anime that came out, say, 2 years ago, will get 30 replies and archive without the OP bumping it every hour
>>274975592thank mods for allowing pajeet Solo Leveling spam while deleting any negative comments
>>274976458It's not shills, it appears to be a discord group from /v/ intentionally shitting up this board sorta like the IRC crew back in the day, and it seems at least one mod is with them.
>>274973505>Shinjiim afraid never
>>274976458These threads are weird. It's either people calling it the best hing ever despite being medicore or just straight up racism against koreans
>>274977396>or just straight up racism against koreansThat's not weird on /a/
>>274977396>people calling it the best thing everIt's Koreans using google translate. You can tell by the fact that most of those posts are written in broken English or are just generic one or two-sentence posts. It's actually quite similar to posts about other Korean-produced crap like BA or Stellar Blade on /v/ for example.
>>274975592The same thing that happened to everything else. The masses took over and the masses do the same everywhere they go and to everything they touch. This is what anime being popular and mainstream look like. The industry adapts to what the audiences consume and products start abandoning their original identities in order to be more appealing to the lowest common denominator. As this happens the original audiences often start to leave until they are fully replaced. The fads eventually die off though and once that happens and the tourists leave industries are forced to downsize to survive.
>>274972813
Anal?
>>274976295You sound like a faggot desu
I forgot how s1 ended
>>274979035Maomao's papa redeemed Maomao's syphilis riddled mother.Also Gyokuyou is pregnant.
>>274975324Say thanks to shoujoscyzo and analposting. Any discussions are pretty much impossible now in kusuriya threads so most people just left.
>>274972312>2 more daysOh wow I tought it would take months
>>274972312We are getting another season in a few days? Hell yeah, haven't visited /a/ in a while as previous season was so shit, I couldn't even finish 2/3 anniemays I was watching.
>>274976458I remember last year the way negative comments were deleted, was weird as fuck lol, and one pajeet bumping his own thread. I did enjoy that junk for the most part however
>>274979330S-she's fast!
>>274977724Koreans are an easy scapegoat for this and some anons are even blaming the Korean government but there's no evidence of that. It's Crunchyroll that's funding and producing Solo Leveling. If you want to blame a country then blame Indian shills paid by Crunchyroll because there's at least some grounds for that from the dub Hindi thread.
>>274972312I like Lihaku but some people say he's a cuck. What does /a/ think?
>>274979330Ha-Hayai!!!!!
>>274972312I want to do so many sexual things to The Xiaomao.
>>274983857
I really hope they adapt the anal scenes faithfully.
>>274975592>What the fuck happened to this board?Phone only faggots, facebook immigrants, reddit refugees, twitter faggots who want to pretend to be interesting but picked 4chan as their thing to attempt to copy not realizing we're all autistic losers who want to sit in a corner and enjoy our own interests, ect.
>>274983857we know jin shi
Can we please stop with the Anal meme for season 2?No one actually wants to rail MaoMao's anus.
>>274977396>just straight up racism against koreansIf I were less lazy I'd go make some webms from that Korean Pachinko episode of Nerima Daikon Brothers to respond with.
>>274984696>No one actually wants to rail MaoMao's anusNo one in universe does, plenty of anons want to. I don't though. Vaginal is always better than anal.
>>274984696speak for yourself. if you want some discussion instead of whining about memes, start one doofus
sex with chinese cats
>>274972312damn she's cute
>>274985613
why isnt mm interested in the hot guys
>>274984696That's right I want to rail her vagina.
>>274984696We're just awaiting the frog on the mighty log
>>274985629Maomao!
>>274981941It's a different time I think, with different standards, nowadays it wouldn't be acceptable ofcourse. Imo as long as he is the only one serviced intimately at the then it's fine.
>>274984696Speak for yourself faggot. I desperately want to rail maomao’s anus.
Next season has the most egregious parts about pedo emperor will some things be censored?
>>274988639I think it is a bit interesting how he's such a beta fag that he only feels like a man in the company of children and is basically scared of adults
my nigga Lakan did nuffin wrong
>>274989509For me it's Basen
>>274972312I've been living under a rock for a while. This got animated? Hell yeah.How closely does it follow the source material? I know there was some drama with its first manga adaption
>>274990260The anime pretty much follows the manga pretty much 1-1 with some minor differences, haven't read the LN so i don't know if that's any different.
>>274990260It's a good adaptation overall.
You are reading the web novel arc 14, right anon?
Stop liking evil women!
>>274990154
>>274991601Yes, will one of the princes get smallpox? Will Yao successfully take control of the household while her uncle(head of Mi) is still in the Western Capital
>>274972312Anal?
>>274981941>>274988000There's actually a sidestory where Pairin gets spiked with aphrodisiacs on the night of one of Lihaku's visits. She marathon fucks him until she wears him out then starts fucking other guys after until morning. So there's that.
Wake me up when jinshi agrees to outercourse in the ln
>>274972312I read the author seriously hates Jinshi. Is it going to affect the writing in a way that bleeds into it and compromises the story and characters? It's disappointing to know that stuff. Assuming it's true.
>>274984696Where did the anal bullshit even come from? I wasn't in the Season 1 threads. A major part of her character is striving to get by in the world with her intelligence and medical knowledge, rather than falling to the level of a courtesan selling her body like seemingly every other woman in society at the time. She never even hints or jokes about anal. Are there doujins like Iori situation? Did I miss an offhanded line?
>>274992947I don't use the meme but I vaguely remember her talking about ways to have sex even without contraceptives while avoiding pregnancy risks or something. Implied anal? That's probably where it comes from.
>>274992947I think it's something from the LN where she details how in the school of whores she was in they'd be on a liquid diet for 3 days before doing anal to avoid unpleasant accidents.
>>274991601>>274992709Does the romance with Jinshi ever improve?I'm reminded strongly of Mahoutsukai no Yome, where in first season, the male love interest is this big dangerous controlling sort-of-fatherly kabedon machine, the lead doesn't know if this imposing creature wants to kill her or fuck her, but then the reveal that he's just a big baby comes out, the dynamic completely changes, and he's sort of sidelined in Season 2.Jinshi was fantastic as this mysterious man, potentially dangerous for the significant power he wields, who wants something from the slave Maomao in the opening, but then he starts acting more and more goofy and childlike, she starts walking all over him, the romance died for me. She also seems be disinterested in him at this point and only around him for work. It kinda sucked the fun out of it.I also miss the Inner Garden. All the drama between the ladies in waiting, the consort who left in secret to be with her lover, were real tearjerkers. The mystery of the fishbowl and solder key was just awful in comparison. I hope it returns back there.
>>274993228>but then the reveal that he's just a big baby comes outWhy does this keep happening? I was watching that one loli returner show with the genocidal dragon emperor that did the same thing.
>>274993308nta but it's gap moe
>>274993357Isn't that only for girls?
Maomao's hairy maomao
>>274993308I should note that I'm pretty inaccurately describing MnY and it has a lot more to offer than what I'm highlighting. The fault was more that after the dynamic changed to close a major arc, and in a very nice way, S2 focused on something very unrelated to the core romance, which was inopportune. I'm worried the author's not sure what to do with it now.
If Maomao's experimented her arm, imagine what she's experimented on down there.Can she even use the bathroom after applying that much acid?
What about superior Meimei?
>>274993705It's been bothering me for a while, but is there any point for someone highly resistant/immune to poison being a food taster? Sure her knowledge helps identify poison but for tasting specifically she might just tank a poison that would kill a normal persom without realizing it's even there. I guess. I don't know how poisons work.
>>274979224Your cope and tears and delicious.
>>274989509The twist in Lakan's character was so expertly crafted. I never saw it coming, or expected to cry for the guy seemingly set up to take away and rape maomao or her family. It all just clicked and everything made sense. I was so wrong ;_:
>>274993769She does reveal this to others openly rather than keeping it inside, but I suppose they never had the thought it would be a disadvantage. I had the same thought but was happy to suspend disbelief.
>>274979224I hope these threads are alright having finally caught up./a/ debating whether Frieren is an Isekai and Mal scores every thread was the worst I've even seen the board since Violet Evergarden.I think I saw some "The Mary Sue Diaries" OPs used while it was airing and am concerned it's all going to be bait OPs and rageposts.
>>274994002It's gonna be fun. I regret not watching the first season with /a/, I think I started just after it ended. Absolutely loved it and picked up the LN straight after.
>>274972312Anal with Mao Mao
>>274992346Didn't the anime also imply that when she's insatiable that she even went for a Kamuro?
>>274975414Not a lesbian confirmed
>>274994002Remember when romcomschizo was plaguing Kusuriya threads while the anime was airing? Well this season, we're going to have both romcomschizo and innit! Isn't that exciting?
>>274993752She's living her best life, she already won.
>>274994156Yes
>>274993752>>274994162Does Meimei do anal like Maomao?
>>274994143Yeah, but there was some deniability that she'd only be with Lihaku while he was there. Of course she's a prostitute, but the hope (cope?) was she only serviced him while he was around. The sidestory sunk that, she fucked other dudes at the same time because he tapped out. Feels bad man.
>>274994175Who cares. All I want is Pairin
>>274994150I shouldnt have even posted >>274994002 because it invites complaining. Just looking forward to more episodes and chatting about it with you all.I only picked this up recently and loved it. I can't identify specific posters before I did.
>>274994150>romcomschizoI fucking hate that cunt. Anal schizo doesn't bother me desu.
>>274994175No
>>274994238Worst girl
>>274994238>>274994162
>>274994203For me it's Joka, but I heard somewhere she's one of those asexuals or dykes or asexual dykes. Disappointing beyond belief if true.
>>274994271She hates men with a passion.
>>274994307I'm different from most men. If anything, I'll be the one in the kitchen.
>>274994307>>274994271Just because she thinks she can't trust them and they want to use her for their own benefit. That's why catcat hides her power level too, she doesn't want to get the wrong kind of attention.
>Jinshi purchases Maomao>oh, I'm not forcing you to be my lover or anything, just solve mysteries and stuff
>>274994214Who is romcomschizo exactly?
>>274994364So she's not asexual or lesbo? Just hasn't met the right guy yet? I can fix her.
>>274994408No she just hate all the men she is forced to interact with from my understanding. Some of the courtesans enjoy toying with the men but she doesn't.
>>274994433>sexo but pureShe's perfect
>>274994404He always shows up in threads whenever a series contains romance making the same shitposts, he's like a pullstring toy with like 5 set phrases, he may even actually be a bot.
>>274994392What did Jinshi buy exactly? I don't get itA man paying a courtesan for two years worth of continual visits upfront (until her presumed retirement) makes logical sense. Buying out a chemist does not. Is Maomao now extremely wealthy (60 years of doctor's visits upfront) but forced to work exclusively for Jinshi, for free, forever? I don't quite understand how free she is and terms.
>>274994483So like what shitposts exactly?
>Shisui debutFinally best girl arrives
>>274995671>muh bugs
>>274994446The whole selling point for the concubines is that mostly they aren't whores so their purity is their value. So they can afford to be picky
>>274972312>2 more days until the return of the mary sue power fantasy horrible
>>274995969>Anon isn't a cute, quirky, socially inept, master detective, poison tasting addicted, dense, flat, dry fake-freckled, anal [canon] slut [headcanon], master of secret courtesan sex techniques catNo wonder the hottest eunuch in town doesn't lust after you.
The LN is lightyears ahead; gonna be jarring going back to the rear palace. At least there's tons of material for future seasons.
>>274996092>Average looking Māomāo rather than super cute MāomāoEewl.
>>274996092>Frog and poisonPottery
>>274996092I thought it was insane that they adapted 1 volume per cour, all those 24 eps were really just 2 volumes?Maybe I should pick up the LN if it's that dense with juicy content.
>>274996092Best girl in season 5.
>>274996608Yeah, they're pretty long by LN standards.
>>274996092Thank goodness I'm sticking with the pretty manga and the anime.
>>274991923
How did kurisuya not get a single nomination for AOTY is the real crime.
>>274998233>he cares about things like "nomination for AOTY"the current state of /a/...
>>274998431I do because it demonstrates the state of /a/ itself. The more nominations of some average shows like DDD proves /a/ has lost its ability to detect and watch some of the more obscure shows. Take symphogear. Not a single forum site or board was discussing it except for /a/. These are the shows I want to watch, more under the radar shows that are often better than the most popular shows
>>274996092Wait, it's not even about the rear palace anymore? Should I just drop this now? I only care about the palace politics, second half of S1 was already bad enough, not interested at all if we move away from the palace completely
>>274975592too many zoomer amerimuttniggers developing a taste for anime I'm afraid...
>>274975592>what happened?>brownie thirdies!>poojeets!>amerimutts!>"oldfags"!>ledditors!lol
I love Jin Shi. He's far more complex than the writer even knows. He's the crown prince and everyone important knows, yet he refuses to take that mantle. His love more Mao Mao reflects his desire to not be constrained by his fate, yet he himself locks and imprisons Mao Mao for his own desires like the others do to him. He's a walking hypocrite. He'll become the evilest of tyrants if he were to ever ascend the throne
>>274992346Zamn, well, I guess if he is into it...he is a cuck then, or in a cucky situation, because if you invest into a woman that isn't as invested into you then...I don't need to spell it out
>>274998781I hate him because he barely exists and isn't rapey enough and is mostly silly rather than intimidating.Well, I don't “hate him”, far from it actually, nay, I love him; I just think he's enormous wasted potential.
>>274998954Not at all, his development through only Mao Maos point of view is far more engaging than if we were to follow his daily routines and point of view. It provides Jin shi with the continued allure of mystery. Is his teasing of Mao Mao just an outlet for him away from his life? Does he secretly have sex with all the other women? What more secrets is he hiding from Mao Mao? He showed her he's not a eunuch already, what's else does he hide?
>>274975324solo leveling is barely getting threads past the 100 post mark now if an ep is not airing lmao
>>274999110Māomāo doesn't interact much with him either though. He just doesn't do much and the scenes he's in he doesn't really influence all that much.>Does he secretly have sex with all the other women?Imagine if his looks were unified with the personality of that cousin.
>>274998781>Jinshi on the throneDies from appendicitis before 30, next.
>>274998954Sounds gay.
>>274998536Doesn't /m/ also discuss Symphogear?
We'll have to wait next season for this crucial scene.
This anime would have been so much better if Maomao was gay
>>275003201Sounds gay.
>>275003201She's cockblocked by En'en
>>275003201>he doesn't know
>>274993769Poisons still make her throw up they just don't kill her
>>274993769She made a comment about the fact that she isn't really suited for being a poison taster, but her being so knowledgeable about poisons is enough to override the cons.
>>274993769Poison immunity to that degree is not a real thing anyway
>>275002491Does she ever fall in love with Jinshi?
To LN and WN readers, choose your favourite not-Maomao member of the medical office.For the ones that didn't know how they looked the girl with braids is Yo, the girl with the side ponytail Changsha and the guy with the blindfold is Kokuyou.You should be able to recognize Yao, En'en and Tianyu.
>>275002062
>>275003985Something similar, La Clan's concept of love is somewhat peculiar and her autism heavily influences their relationship.
>>274975324>solo levelingWho actually watches that
>>275005459I'm given to understand Maomao proffering her anus will be in the next volume of the LN translation. Looking forward to it.
Stop it.
>>275005669Comes out tomorrow
>>275006852Holy shit, you're right.
>>275006266is that frog or maaco languagei need to know to use the proper swear words for the situation
From ugly manga
>>275007887Is there a vampire illness plot twist?
>>275007160Frog
>>275008009No, but at least in the WN(don't remember in the LN) Maomao after this says that human bites can give you illnesses like animal bites.This reminds me of a time in kindergarten when another kid bit my arm really hard and they had to give me a shot of antibiotics.
I like the show, but the romance portions are not very compelling.
>>275008399It's funny how Maomao is literally not interested at all, not even a blush.It's like Jinshi wants a shoujo manga to happen but she doesn't want to play the role.
maomao sexo
I watched the first 12 episodes, what’s the appeal bros?
>>275008472Maomao blushes to Jinshi once in like 10 volumes.
Maomao wants their relationship to remain purely professional, but Jinshi is like "I am going to marry you, end of story."
>>275008700Autistic MC, good dynamics, detailed setting that feels true to the era, basically a detective show in disguise.If you don't like by 12, then it's over.
>>274972312Is something actually going to happen this season or no?
When does the ep drop?I wanna see the catcat
>>275008830I like it I plan to finish
>>275008901Solo Leveling might be more up your speed.
>>275008901Maomao has anal sex
>>275008901babies and conspiracies
>>275008831So does it turn out he has a benis?
>>275008901Frog,but we miss the attempted Maomao rape since it was removed in the LN
>>275008991Better off for it desu
Are eunichs really considered alive?
>>275008991Who tries to rape her?
>>275009186One of the brothel sloots
>>275009186Two guards, one backs off when he sees that Maomao has rashes(from eating buckwheat, since she's allergic to it).The guard that backs off for LN reader is Sazen ( the guy who becomes Maomao's apothecary apprentice in LN5
>>275008755didn't they sleep with each other in the WN?
>>275008991>removed in the LNBut isn't the LN the original work?
>>275009488They almost did but Jinshi got turned off by Maomao saying all the ways she can abort if she gets pregnant.
>>275009474got a boner reading this
>>275009585It was in the WN, but the LN is the canon.
>>275009585the web novel is the original chapters posted online and eventually compiled into the LN. the web novel is like a rough draft
>>275007887HOT
>>275009585WN is the original, then the editor decides which things will get changed in the LN, in the early arcs(let's say until LN6) pretty important things got changed especially in the early volumes(Mao's mom is dead since the start, a bunch of arcs end up in the same way but the whole sequence of events is different, like in LN5 Jinshi and Maomao travel to the Western Capital and there's a bunch of romance drama about finding Jinshi a wife that ends up in Jinshi not getting a consort, in the corrispondent WN arc she travels with her cousin in the Western Capital and when she returns, she gets to know that in a public meeting Jinshi said that he was interested in Lakan's daughter, and they got in a big fight in front of the brothel, so Jinshi doesn't get a consort, same result but the story develops in a different way)
>>274992947It's half her giving an out to jinshi so no royal bastards are made should he choose to make her his bride, and half one anon who really really likes bodice rippers and meming various FeMCs as anal sluts
>>275009926Reminder that Maomao proposed:>anal>condoms>oral contraceptives (that could make her permanently infertile)>abortifacients if she gets pregnant>got blocked by Jinshi before she could propose blowjobs and handjobs.She was autistically trying all the options
So what is CatCats third sisters stick?Big booba is most motherlyOldest is into autistic boardgames.Whats with the last one she doesnt talk much or show up
>>275010432So jinshi had his balls cut off?
>>275011145She's crazy
>>275011189proof?
>>275008472>>275008736Jinshi did make Maomao blush once, which is impressive considering how autistic she is.
>>275011227>edgy af>non nonsensical behavior in the novel>hates men but is a slut>her name is edgy and literally banned
>>275013717her self chosen (courtesan) name*
>>275008963You should have picked up on that from the first season.
>>274998233Maomao won girl of the year, what more do you want?
>>275014618no she didn't. Frieren did
>>275005299Would be much better if true but alas, there's some line in the source that apparently disproves it.>>275008399>>275008472Extremely based opinions.The romance part is handled so poorly and the writer heavily implied the editor forced it.
>>275015628Die.
>>275015628>his life, all his existence is an inertial meme.unfathomably meaningless
>>275015337No, Catcat did and so did Yuuki Aoi
So does anything happen to Lady Lihua in the light novel or manga? I was always curious why Lihua and Maomao didn't get more interactions after she saved her life or try to recruit Maomao to her side?
>>275008991Author wanted more Houshin Engi allusions so something had to go
>>275015628I didn't complain about the romance, I think they work as sneaky comedy scenes, so there's entertainment, just a different way.
>>275017517That's horrible.Romance is a terrible trope anyway and the only function it should have in fiction is providing rapechad dokidokis.In fact, those should happen without romance, but they so seldom do that.This title would be great if:>No romance>Zinsi is actually really useful like Watson. Think he has skills that Māomāo lacks to solve mysteries like diplomacy and brawn, using his face and smooth talk to get access as well as being an effective tard wrangler so he's actually constantly involved in the mystery solving>Suitably rapey sex scenes between them from the start>Māomāo hates him, or is at least very annoyed with him, but has to admit he's really attractive and sex with him, once forced into it, does feel really good>NO ROMANCE, not a single hint, just bickering enemies with benefits.There, I fixed it.
>>275017824I like diabolik lovers in an ironic way, but mixing this kind of shit with Maomao would ruin the show.
>>274994404>>274994483>>274994553Basically romcomschizo spams about how women are cruel and malicious creatures and female writers only add other female characters to shit on them and make the female self-insert look good. He's also somehow convinced that harems and male demographic romcoms are written to appease women. He has a particular hate boner for Takahashi Rumiko and intentionally spreads misinformation about her.
>>275018232That's just an example of rapechads without romance.Don't you think a dynamic between these two where they're bickering love–hate best friends who keep having sex and solve mysteries together would completely work?>>275018491Oh, that anon.Weird to call that person “romcomschizo” it's not really indicative of what the weirdness is. It's just a very weird claim to think that these harems somehow exist for the 10% females that watch these harems with ultra plain male protagonist and it's especially weird to think they'd self-insert into one of the girls, trying to get the omega catch that is this thing, and on top of that wanting extra female competition.Then again, a lot of people are actually, unironically thinking it about My Dress up Darling because “he's tall”, my god.
>>275005299This is kinda true though?
>>275018848Also, this. Their relationship would even better if they both had sex with many others, and it was explicitly shown, they just had sex with each other the most.This would make this title absolute perfection.
>>275017824>sex without romanceThat's not a real thing.
>>275019239Are you saying this never happens in real life or in fiction?
>>275019298This had happened to me personally at least 4 times.
Soon.
