This Romantic World Page 259
Added 2022-08-05 02:56:51 +0000 UTCThis is one of those scenes where I feel that the content, or more to the point, my intent behind the content could be easily misconstrued if I don't get the dialog just right. So let me know what you think of these pages of back and forth between Derek and Elianna if you would, and meanwhile I'll be here hoping it came across the way I meant it to.
Also nobody picked up that Elianna was dressed as Hikaru from Magic Knight Rayearth. Is that show obscure now?

Today if somebody were making it they'd probably title it, "My robot girlfriend's off switch is WHERE?! We can never consummate!" My wife and the GM of our Star Wars RPG both get a thousand yard stare when somebody utters the name Chobits, but I never saw it either

2022-08-08 20:58:25 +0000 UTCInteresting take! :)

2022-08-08 20:58:05 +0000 UTCLet the record show that commission was not canonical! XD
Reinbach
2022-08-08 20:57:42 +0000 UTCPossibly? I never saw it myself, but it looks up her alley.
Reinbach
2022-08-08 20:57:00 +0000 UTCThanks! That's the aim. :)
Reinbach
2022-08-08 20:56:33 +0000 UTCShouldn't be new? As for Ellie's disposition, we'll be touching on that here pretty quick!
Reinbach
2022-08-08 20:56:13 +0000 UTCMight have been more obvious if there were two other girls dressed in green and blue here. Hikaru was part of a set for sure.

2022-08-08 20:53:19 +0000 UTCXD
Reinbach
2022-08-08 20:52:49 +0000 UTCCan't remember how I came across it honestly. I probably just saw it in a video store and thought the art looked cool.
Reinbach
2022-08-08 20:52:21 +0000 UTCYeah she loses that basic look pretty fast in the show I suppose. The anime being like 20 years old probably didn't help recognizability either. XD
Reinbach
2022-08-08 20:50:51 +0000 UTCThanks!
Reinbach
2022-08-08 20:49:43 +0000 UTCWouldn't put it past her!
Reinbach
2022-08-08 20:49:33 +0000 UTCRight on, that's what I was aiming for. :)
Reinbach
2022-08-08 20:48:56 +0000 UTCI'd say especially in the real world, imagine how much she'd have to work with if STDs were a thing in her reality. XD
Reinbach
2022-08-08 20:48:35 +0000 UTC;D
Reinbach
2022-08-08 20:47:24 +0000 UTCXD
Reinbach
2022-08-08 20:46:20 +0000 UTCQuite so! XD
Reinbach
2022-08-08 20:46:08 +0000 UTCThanks! I thought that was a good way to show that she takes the material seriously.
Reinbach
2022-08-08 20:45:57 +0000 UTC;D
Reinbach
2022-08-08 20:45:23 +0000 UTCDark times indeed! XD
Reinbach
2022-08-08 20:45:13 +0000 UTCAwesome! :)
Reinbach
2022-08-08 20:45:04 +0000 UTCGood to hear!

2022-08-07 21:14:02 +0000 UTCI feel like a lot of people in the real world would benefit from her speech.
Kudos707
2022-08-06 17:14:16 +0000 UTCRemarkable self-control on her side.
NKL
2022-08-06 09:12:43 +0000 UTC4th panel is glorious. Ellie is so torn between being asked to finish her speech and getting to eat the whole plate of cookies. If I didn't know better, I'd think the abstinence meeting (and it's inevitable failure) was just an excuse to eat a guilt free plate of cookies.
Squid Hills
2022-08-05 19:55:19 +0000 UTCI love the Cookie Eating to show her trying to calm down :p

2022-08-05 17:24:20 +0000 UTCOh, it's HIKARU! I didn't recognize the uniform without the breastplate she gets once they jump realms. (Nor did I quite recognize it when worn by someone as curvy as Elianna)

2022-08-05 16:14:45 +0000 UTCRayearth is indeed very obscure, to the point I only heard about it from the Robot Wars 30 game. I don't think it was ever shown in my country, or if it was not during the time I watched anime on TV.
Atashkada
2022-08-05 15:11:36 +0000 UTCMagic Knights Rayearth. Now there's a name I've not thought of in a long time... Also, the flashing TRAUMA sign over 'sex addiction', or is that just me?
notadmittingit
2022-08-05 12:59:23 +0000 UTCDefinitely how page one book one should've gone. Instead we got raving lunatic. Good job Derek.
Jariah Synn
2022-08-05 06:46:41 +0000 UTCDerek being supportive to Elianna, wholesome <3 As for your question at the end, yes Rein, it IS obscure af !
TheMaker1610
2022-08-05 06:46:15 +0000 UTCOh shit, I remember Magic Knight Rayearth. How did I miss that?
llCDll
2022-08-05 05:25:18 +0000 UTCOh neat cheek highlights! I really noticed those for some reason. Is that new? I like her full body pose, and how Derek's usual "Harsh and blunt" advice is a bit more reasoned and mellowed. Possibly because he's either flattered or because she's obviously SUPER upset (poor Elianna!).
ScuzzBucket
2022-08-05 05:23:06 +0000 UTCDerek seems to have grown a bit from when you interact with him in game. I like it :)
HungryOuroboros
2022-08-05 05:14:12 +0000 UTCThis Rayearth reference prompts something else for me actually. Is Elianna a Chobits fan?
Emmett
2022-08-05 05:05:01 +0000 UTCI must have misunderstood the panel showing Derek and Elianna holding hands on a park bench. Her condescension could cut glass. Sad.
Alex Barton
2022-08-05 04:34:00 +0000 UTCI like it. Learning to put aside her holier-than-thou complex. And maybe we’ll get to see them talk about why she cares about this so much, and realize, it’s not really the school she wants to stop screwing nonstop, it’s her parents. At least that’s what I’ve taken from it.
Lord Washington
2022-08-05 04:01:42 +0000 UTCI ‘member! I’m mainly an “X” man, though. I’m glad they can (hopefully) see pass each other’s veneer, and give each other a chance to see the real person beneath. Also, incredible sex. Off school grounds, of course! And in a loving relationship!! All three of them!!!
rah
2022-08-05 03:59:44 +0000 UTCYes its obscure (I lament how many awesome anime are lost to people), I at least picked up on it. Could have used more white.
Lord of Nightmares
2022-08-05 03:13:23 +0000 UTCIs this…is this foreplay??
Daniel S
2022-08-05 03:10:28 +0000 UTCSee, this is fascinating. Because now she's actually making valid points and sounding less like a zealot. If this wasn't a pornworld, this would be a potentially valuable speech. Her problem is that she Is in a pornworld, and different rules apply!

2022-08-05 03:09:10 +0000 UTCI love the fact she actually absorbed the criticism. Abd is trying to implement it. Beautifully done my guy.

2022-08-05 03:04:51 +0000 UTCWhy are they actually perfect for each other?
Merjia
2022-08-05 03:01:18 +0000 UTCI feel like all Clamp stuff is obscure at this point my guy.
FoolyMagooly
2022-08-05 03:00:44 +0000 UTCI'm so used to everyone in TRW being a massive horndog, so now I'm really invested in this (relatively) slowly budding romance.
MaximumHavoc
2022-08-05 02:59:17 +0000 UTCI think it comes across great! I'm excited to see the friendship between these two, maybe it'll help them both be less abrasive.
