Shonen Beam

[chapter link]

P2, main panel: I found one! That’s a background! Right there!

“Why is he so stupid when it comes to relationships?” Because he’s a shonen protagonist.

The box punchline is rather good.

Cherish this moment, Matsuri. Everyone remembers their first time [sitting on a box].

Oh, come on. The immediate reaction would be childhood friend, not pedophile.

This flashback is actually incredibly touching. It’s not just good by Lock On! standards, either.

Disappointing to find a teaser for sexual harassment at the end of a notable chapter.

Final Flash: Good by any measure, and fantastic when compared to the rest of the series.
