This may be changing the subject, but what is mild incest?            *




{...there are no words...}

Only slightly relatedly, I often get the feeling I'm searching the dregs of manga for stuff I haven't read yet.


*don't answer that

...Maybe it's like the manga oneshot I reread yesterday where the teenaged heroine proposes marriage-when-I-grow-up to her widowed stepfather who has raised her since she was eight?

OH SHOUJO.

(I hasten to add that I only reread the oneshot because it came bundled at the back of Pearl Pink vol. 2, and I wanted to see if it was as fluffy-yet-disturbing as I remembered. IT WAS.)

I would try to rec you some new manga but I have the feeling that you've read way more than I have, so you've probably read it already.

Yeah, I know that one. It was fun and yet I was thinking "this is not something any reality would accept"

The new step-sibling trope is one that I find amusing. Akuma De Sourou/Devil Beside Me style. I just don't think about it.
There are some where I'm like NO WAY NO HOW {smack of closing cover. Okay, tab of browser} even if they're not really related.
Some aspects of the Twisted Shoujo mindset I just do not need to enter into.

I think it was supposed to mean inexplicit, though the not-really-related one, I can see that, too. Mostly I'm just laughing at the inadvertent comedy of the words, though.

Yeeeah. I do not read shoujo for psychological realism and so I am willing to handwave many, many relationships that would be ruinous in real life. But I do have limits.

Um...non-existent?

*sigh*

I just don't know what these kids are thinking, sometimes. (It's a manga description online, I think they just weren't being very clear-minded about it, but still...)

Probably "hinted at" or "implied". Yikes.
I got my King of Attolia roving! I also got some inspiration on how to play with it. Whee!

There are going to be ink-blots and mismatches, just like the parade of sashes...

Like "mild pregnancy," maybe?

That's what it reminded me of, to be honest!
