A relationship is like an MMORPG, expect a lot of seeminly one sides conversations, an often third wheel, and an occasional stab in the gut, but if its worth playing you just don't stop.

A relationship is like a trip to Japan, you really don't know what to expect, It often seems like women speak a completely different langage, and there is no going back.

A relationship is like becoming an star. Nosey people all up in your business, you start getting no time alone, Insecurity issiues sky-rocket, and your friend calling you "Kimi-zilla" hurts more than it normally would.

A relationship is like an invading zombie horde... I dunno, chicks dig zombies?

I guess I'll bite the Memetic Mutation hook, before someone else does.

So I got book 6. I'm going to read the rest of them again first though, it's been a while.

Anybody else have any clue who would be on book 7, other than an ensemble? So far we've got:

  • Book 1: Piro & Largo
  • Book 2: Kimiko & Erika
  • Book 3: Ping & Miho (remember Ping?)
  • Book 4: Seraphim & Asmodeus (remember them? I miss them)
  • Book 5: Dom, Ed, and Junpei
  • Book 6: Yuki and Junko

Who's left, really? Even Junko isn't much of a character to get put on a book cover...

Maybe he'll go back and do Piro/Kimiko and Largo/Erika. Depending on the length of the series, it could make good Bookends.

Wait, when did I get a manga blog?

Meimi / Masamichi / Matsui / Sayuri / Kenji?

From the looks, it's more or less boils down to supporting characters...if Fred's still going for new char at cover that is...

Maybe instead of dipping into minor or supporting characters, he'll use different groups of the major characters.

Forgive my language, but... FUCKING FINALLY!!!

Miho calls out his apologetic nature, AND it seems like his Weirdness Censor will FINALLY be broken after this!

On the other hand, Largo's called him out for being a puss with all the spine of a slug before, too, to no real effect. tongue

Yeah, but that's his best friend. Despite the flaws, friends can stick by you as long as you don't do anything to really piss them off.

Girlfriends, on the other hand, can end up picking up on the flaws of their boyfriends and really dislike them. Granted, it seems like she was supposed to break off the relationship, but I'm guessing the lack of a spine on Piro's part really made it easy. That was likely why she didn't expect Pirogoeth to man up (no pun intended) and take her down in Endgames.

I saw the 6th volume a couple of days ago at the store. Cover looks very nice. Too bad I had now money to buy it.

I did have enough monety to buy volume 3 though, and I enjoyed looking over the story and noticing things I hadn't earlier.

I actually know what Clannad is now.

Seraphim telling Piro to keep her out of his fantasies is funnier now that I realize who those two are based on.

Miho had more than one Endsgame character it seems.

In the Endgames bonus comic in volume 3(?) there were two Miho characters - one a guy, trying to woo Pirogoeth, and one a girl, trying to seduce Largo. They had hair ribbons tied on opposite ends of their hair and were working simultaneously. So yes, at least two characters.

New comic.

Miho seems to be evading Piro's questions about the weirdness quite well, but is having difficulty concealing her emotions. (Nothing like a "half-naked" comment to distract a guy from the fact that the "hospital" tossed him in jail just for trying to visit her).

Here I was thinking we'd finally get an explanation of who or what Miho is.

Oh please, this is Megatokyo. I doubt that's going to come out for a while, at the pacing all of these other mysteries are being unraveled...

The other mysteries seemed to be introduced and resolved fairly quickly (i.e. within one chapter). It's only Miho that's started mysterious and remained so throughout the series. Considering how much info about her has suddenly started coming in the last chapter, I wouldn't be surprised to see us finally get some closure here.

Isn't there a plot buried in there of Piro and Largo being stuck in Japan and having to work their way home? Or is that just a Framing Device to be resolved at the end?

I thought they decided to stay in Tokyo after all?

I think they did decide to stay. For now. What with with both of them having Love Interests and all and nobody else waiting them at the states.

IIRC, Piro eventually decided that he didn't mind staying in Japan, but sometimes would like have Largo shipped home in a crate.
