These images in particular make me yearn for my teenage years once again.

>>3980208
As bad as Yoshiki yearns to be shoulder-deep inside "Hikaru"'s chest vagina?
>>
>>3980223
Perhaps. I've never read the manga or knew about it before this morning.

The anime has aired five episodes so far and it's cute if you feel like giving it a shot

Do 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.

im 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

>>3980258
Oh, 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.
>>
>>3980246
I 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.

Right 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.

Same, this season fucking sux
>>
>>3992774
I wish we could get an exclusivs movie, an OVA, watching those boys healed me..at least there's the manga, I'm reading it.
Not as kino as the anime, that's a work of passion and love, but it's good, and it's everything we're getting for 2 years.
>this season
anything worthwile? Watching Sanda but I'm not very thrilled, too much het
>>
>>3992778
>too much het
This is a common problem this season. Ranma remake is actually one of the least egregious het parades. Hoping the Assassin Status anime dodges the bullet but it's too soon to tell.

Bros why did the author confirm that Yoshiki doesn't care about the monster? why'd she have to ruin our delusion.
>>
>>3992988
She's a coward, or got crushed under publisher pressure to DISAVOW DISAVOW DISAVOW.
>>
>>
>>3992988
Yoshiki is a schizo, he says that, and minutes after he's searching for "Hikaru", he confuses himself. He wants to keep him around because it's his way to cope with being alone without Hikaru, but he also grew fond of him and wants to go to the bakery with him and give the monster a home. He crushes on the physical body but cares for the soul inside it as well
>>3992997
she can say it's an aroace love story!
