Awwww . . . . how cute . . . although I think it's gonna be too good to be true.

I actually thought he was going to be "stuck on" that fujoshi from before . . .

True, but I'll still hope for the best and cross my fingers. Anime catgrin

Heh.

The moment Megan catches Kevin's collection of anime girls, she'll feel she can't compete, begin to compare herself to the "perfection" of the molded statues, and end up busting the poor guy's heart when she walks out the door.
Wink

Oh, wait. Kevin asked Megan for a date while shopping for figures and she said "yes". With that, the above must be false.

Kevin's gonna score.
Very Happy

Go Kevin! A girl that's interested in tentacles, what a catch Wink
Perhaps she senses the truth about what he learned at the hentai panel? Twisted Evil

No, that's too wrong. Nice to see Kevin run into a girl fan at the other end of the spectrum of fandom, one who appears at least sane enough not to be beating people with paddles. Will she turn out to be a new addition to the regular cast with a romantic plot or will this whole thing fizzle? (I'm rooting for Kevin but I don't see luck in his future.)

Nah. The only main branch of cephalopods left is the Nautilus. Meaning that Misato gets a spiral shell for her hat. Laughing

Personally, I like the new direction. It just opens up so much possibility with this opportunity, while both Paola and Nina are still their usual selves...

... or could they. Wink

I'm surprised they haven't come out with squid & octopus Rei & Asuka yet.

Just a couple weeks ago, I was in the big game center near here, about to drop a 500 yen coin into the UFO catcher for three chances to get one of the Mermaid Rei & Asuka figures...

...when I catch myself, and mentally shout "WHAT THE #&$% ARE YOU DOING?!...

...THERE'LL BE 20 OF THEM AT THE SECONDHAND SHOP FOR 1000 YEN APIECE BEFORE NEXT WEEK..."

(and I was right. And I still didn't get one.)

Yay Kevin! Even though we all know this is likely to end very badly (Underage? Not into guys? Brings her boyfriend with?), it's still good to keep trying! Laughing

Does Kevin's bag say 'Anime Yay' on it? Because that could be a real-life product line...

Go Kevin!!! You inspire some of us to get courage and go for it! Although my lady would prolly have to be reaching for an original PC copy of Higurashi no Naku Koro ni. And of course she would have to let me have it Razz (j/k).

Anyway this comic made me lmao. I wonder what will happen next. Cant wait.

YOU CAN DO IT, KEVIN!

While next week's comic can go in many different directions, I'm sincerely hoping that something positive actually develops between the two. I'm not tired of the whole "Kevin can't get a girl" story yet, but you can only drag it on and make him suffer for so long. Surprised Laughing

Score one for Kevin!

Your in there like swimwear. Did you see the way she smiled at you?

But I'm pretty sure it will all end in disaster next week or the week after.

Can't wait!Twisted Evil

But between you and me, I will be pulling for ya. Here's hoping Robin's fingers are gracious to you young sir.

You know, I'd probably get those figurines... Anime hyper



For our poor little hero, though, this probably wouldn't be a bad way to bring in a new major character... so I kind of hope the lady sticks around. ^^

I really hope this works out for Kevin, I was hoping this would happen. Fantastic comic this week Robin, the backgrounds were super awesome.

But Squid Rei? creppy.
