This Romantic World Page 259

This 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

Emmett

Noted! XD

Reinbach

High fives!

Reinbach

Interesting take! :)

Reinbach

Let the record show that commission was not canonical! XD

Reinbach

Possibly? I never saw it myself, but it looks up her alley.

Reinbach

Thanks! That's the aim. :)

Reinbach

Shouldn't be new? As for Ellie's disposition, we'll be touching on that here pretty quick!

Reinbach

Might have been more obvious if there were two other girls dressed in green and blue here. Hikaru was part of a set for sure.

Reinbach

Sad times! XD

Reinbach

Characters need room to grow at the beginning! XD

Reinbach

XD

Reinbach

Can't remember how I came across it honestly. I probably just saw it in a video store and thought the art looked cool.

Reinbach

Yeah 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

Thanks!

Reinbach

Wouldn't put it past her!

Reinbach

Right on, that's what I was aiming for. :)

Reinbach

I'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

;D

Reinbach

XD

Reinbach

Quite so! XD

Reinbach

Thanks! I thought that was a good way to show that she takes the material seriously.

Reinbach

;D

Reinbach

Dark times indeed! XD

Reinbach

Awesome! :)

Reinbach

Good to hear!

Reinbach

Leading up to hooking up

I feel like a lot of people in the real world would benefit from her speech.

Kudos707

Remarkable self-control on her side.

4th 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

I love the Cookie Eating to show her trying to calm down :p

Chris Davis

Oh, 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)

Kyman201

Rayearth 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

Magic 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

Definitely how page one book one should've gone. Instead we got raving lunatic. Good job Derek.

Jariah Synn

Derek being supportive to Elianna, wholesome <3 As for your question at the end, yes Rein, it IS obscure af !

TheMaker1610

Oh shit, I remember Magic Knight Rayearth. How did I miss that?

llCDll

Oh 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

Derek seems to have grown a bit from when you interact with him in game. I like it :)

HungryOuroboros

This Rayearth reference prompts something else for me actually. Is Elianna a Chobits fan?

Emmett

I must have misunderstood the panel showing Derek and Elianna holding hands on a park bench. Her condescension could cut glass. Sad.

Alex Barton

I 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

I ‘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

Yes 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

Is this…is this foreplay??

Daniel S

See, 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!

GregD

I love the fact she actually absorbed the criticism. Abd is trying to implement it. Beautifully done my guy.

logan schade

Why are they actually perfect for each other?

Merjia

I feel like all Clamp stuff is obscure at this point my guy.

FoolyMagooly

I'm so used to everyone in TRW being a massive horndog, so now I'm really invested in this (relatively) slowly budding romance.

MaximumHavoc

I think it comes across great! I'm excited to see the friendship between these two, maybe it'll help them both be less abrasive.
