What 'Hikaru' eats when there's no karaage
>>3980173>>3980182These images in particular make me yearn for my teenage years once again.
>>3980208As bad as Yoshiki yearns to be shoulder-deep inside "Hikaru"'s chest vagina?
>>3980223Perhaps. I've never read the manga or knew about it before this morning.
>>3980228The anime has aired five episodes so far and it's cute if you feel like giving it a shot
>>3980235Do you have any idea what I should expect concerning the release schedule? Are we getting all of it soon, or is it like "series 1" or something with more later? Definitely interested already but I don't want to start early and get stuck waiting in the middle of it.
>>3980235im following the weekly releases of the anime but i literally cannot fucking wait and just want to read ahead, what would you recommend i do
>>3980172
>>3980258Oh, for sure read the manga. That's what I'm doing, I'm reading each new chapter and watching each new episode as they come out.
>>3980246I don't know if I understand. And I'm no expert on how anime adaptations work... but...It's an adaptation of an ongoing manga series, so the anime will only cover up to some chapter of the manga that's already been released.I've seen people on twitter comment that the anime is adapting the manga at kind of a quick pace. One guy thought that at this rate, this first season of the anime should end at about 70% of the way through what's currently available in the manga.
(tried to translate this with google gemini)>Yoshiki, lookit this, hahaha! Mince is such an idiot, hahaha! He's so busy with his cat treat, he didn't even notice me comin' to grab him 'til it was too late, haha.>"Hikaru," you're bleeding!>Ack, really!!! Ouch!
>>3980299>It's an adaptation of an ongoing manga seriesRight see I didn't know the manga was still going as well so I have a better idea of what's going on now even if I can't just say "well I'll wait until it's finished then" or whatever. Thank you for trying Anon, it was worth it.
>>3980298that's what i'm doing too but i just wanna read ahead, but i know that'll spoil the anime experience... i'm going insane i just want more
