The only anime character I could think of that could meet her manliness mark is Guts.

Lordgenome would also fit, but TTGL Fan Dumb continues shoehorning Kamina.

^And HOW do they fit?
Kenshiro - yes.
Alucard - nope. Mr Asia - nope.

The comic is not Awesome Guys Doing Awesome Things.

I'm pretty sure she considers Manly different from Macho.

Of all the Eastern characters I know maybe Dojima would fit, but he's macho in the sense that a Law & Order detective is.

So, not over-the-top enough to be a logical fit for the comic.

I remember reading this real huge speech on the matter underneath one of the comics. Forget which one though.

Idea: A Bishie Employment Firm next door always competing with the Manly Employment Firm for jobs.

Wouldn't be much of a competition, at least without ludicrous government grants.

I am ashamed. I didn't realize the pokémon connection until the full on bubble panel.

I was wondering where Jared lived.

For a an semi-inept nerd, he seems fairly capable of roughing it. Tough I'm guessing he spend at least a few months just wandering out in the woods and using Mr. Fish to bludgeon anything that got too close.

I wish I could have a secret base. That would be so much cooler than living in a house all the time...

Armstrong probably wouldn’t need a placement agency even if there were little call for an alchemist. He’d probably get some sort of job where he’d show off a type of baking “that’s been in the Armstrong family for GENERATIONS” and also violent, frightening, and delicious all at the same time.

... that's almost too true to be funny (or maybe the other way around?), but I can still see him hanging out with the other guys occasionally. Maybe he's one of Commander Badass' success stories? Successfully rehabilitated machismo?

[lol] I could see that! I'm tempted to message Coelasquid about him, but I'm wary of what kind of reaction it might get. :P
