I think in this case the block was necessary.

Great work Robin. Smile
This "arc" of yours has been the best yet, and I'm looking forward to the next one. Loved the company spoof as well.

Godwin's Law has been invoked, there can be no victory for Megan now. What would really make for an interesting twist is she keeps pursuing Kevin, trying to appear "normal" and becomes the mask!

I still like the idea of adding her to the main character pool and that would be way to do it.

Ooh, Ultimate Mop Daisuke reappeares! That figure actually looks pretty cool. (Bad Frown Company = Laughing Very nice bit there.)

Kudos, Robin. Just when I think this story arc can't get any more hilarious, you go and pull out "Bad Frown Company" for the win!

*applauds* Very Happy

Once I was called Judas because I said that not every Japanese comic is better than western one Smile


Awww, buddy. I feel your pain. I mean, I hate it when comic book fans refuse to read something 'cause it's manga, but that doesn't mean manga fans can't acknowlege there's more to Western comics than superheroes (such as Bone and Scott Pilgrim).

I'm ashamed to say I've never heard of the Good Smile company . . . probably 'cause I don't collect figures.

uh-oh... Megan pulls out something even more rare and outrageous; Daicon V Bunny Girl statue... and the battle begins for Kev's immortal soul. While Nina wonders if either girl is actually interested in Kev himself, or is just competing against the other...

The monday after the con we see a pile of clothing vaguely resembling Kevin being poked at by Nina with a stick...

Kevin, wake up.

First person he meets on the street that day looks like Megan, as he walks into a pole...

glad somebody else noticed goodwin's... but does that count in manga?

Good on 'ya Robin, these are great...

Oh gotta love that figure. It reminds me of all those Kotokubiya statues. Where they make all thos exciting bases for the characters. But not just them. But again a 'Daisuke Mop' version... oh boy this is killing me. Kevin must be a "otaku" for such merchandise.

I'm telling you that girl is out of her mind.
Will Paola and Nina be able to save Kevin from the fangirl from hell?

how would they have a secret weapon, when they only found out what was going on a couple minutes ago?

No doubt they had always expected Kevin to do something crazy, so they were prepared.

Great comic Robin! The Bad Frown Company was clever! I hope Nina and Paola can save Kevin. Megan really is insane, Kevin is better off finding a sane girl who doesn't think anime characters are real and think they are one. That is creepy. Thanks for poking fun at otakukin Robin! It's so entertaining! I wonder if they will meet another otakukin?
