Props, Robin. This one really caught me off-guard, it was so bloody hilarious!! Best one in a while (though most all of them have been consistantly funny nonetheless!).
I hope this goes somewhere good Very Happy

The last 3 panels are just HILARIOUS. Best Kevin pose in a long time xD

As we all know, Miaka and Tamahome always get nude in the end. Kevin's brain processed that 2 panels after the shock.

Well, I'm surprised that of all the people who love that series, only a single person - joystick1101 - clicked that there could be a connection. Shame on all of you.

Of course I'm exempt since I haven't watched it . . . . . .

I saw the title on the main page about the "Catch" and I smiled think "Oh boy, here it comes"

I actually thought it was going to be another boyfriend / 1 sided affection, but yeah I'm surprised with everyone else that it's an otakukin.

Now my current prediction would be, Kevin tries to make it work (she's just too cute after all) but ends up doing crazier things. I don't know Fushugi Yuugi that well so I don't know what hardcore fans would think of doing.

I'll add my voice to the chorus to say this was an amazing strip. Despite all the speculation and guesses I never saw that one coming, right until it hit with the force of a multiton Kaori hammer. Bravo!

A crazy girl that is in love with you is still a girl that's in love with you. Go for the surprise epic win Kevin! I'm cheering you on!

Hopefully she's not also secretly yandere. Shocked

The first meeting between her and Nina should be quite. . . interesting to say the least. While I suspose she could pick Paola as her nemesis, Nina just makes too much sense.

On the plus side: she considers him her soulmate, she obviously likes him, and...well...that's about it.

On the minus side: she's crazier than a sack of rabid weasels. And from experience, the crazy ones, while lots o' fun, are also lots o' trouble and not at all worth it. I will say this though; if there's anyone that could deal with it, it'd be Kevin.

The problem is, it's much too early for her to decide such a thing. She barely even knows him, after all.

Given that he deals with bizarre stuff and crazy people on a regular basis yet he's still sane, I have to agree with you here.

Cost of clothes for date: $50

Cost of a meal for date $25

Learning that your date is an otakukin who thinks they are a reincarnated chracter from an anime and and your only reaction is a shocked look on your face with your only response as "yes": PRICELESS!

That was a good comic. Rolling out of bed and seeing it at 5:31 AM being about half awake and seeing Kevin's reactions, that made my day so much better.

Oh by no means am I applying this to real-world situations. That's like proposing after the first date...or, well, in this case, ON the first date. The hilarity (sarcasm alert!) that follows would only be worthwhile in a comic. In real life......I don't even want to think about it this early in the morning...
