I still think Two People Sex is a strange title for a manga.

I remember reading somewhere that it is a play on the phrase "Hitori Ecchi" which literally means "alone/self sex" and is slang for masturbation.

I could be wrong.

Isn't this usually a 'jump the shark' for this type of story?

Are these romantic couple/child raising manga and tv shows part of the Japanese government' effort to get otaku to procreate?

The thing's been running for 20 years... so if THAT is the "jump the shark" moment, then it's had a pretty amazing run.

100 participants that correctly guess the baby's sex can when card with a drawing on it.

"can WHEN card with a drawing on it." HOW? WHY? Could that mean... win? Maybe even "win a card with a drawing on it."

Seriously? Did someone put the contest rules through Google translate and think they could just publish that as a story?

When you have a series running for 20.3 years and the main couple has just now had a kid, I would say that is a definitive case of jump the shark.
