Author's note:

ED: After dropping the bombshell that she may invite Rabi-chan to the beach, Gamo-chan continues her walk to the bus stop with Naoto.

Be patient a little longer. One more chapter with Naoto and Gamo-chan, and then a small Sakura/Hana-chan detour will lead into the beach stuff.

I like Naoto/Gamo-chan dynamics, but I wound up putting too much into the Wednesday karaoke night, and writing these dialogue heavy chapters can be tiresome.

That's not to say I dislike the "afterparty" chapters. They're just draining.

...

I tried watching the anime Mou Ippon!, and I can't stand the character design. It's just creeps me out, the design, and I've seen all the tropes before. It's nothing new.

I think Nagatoro might've left a bad taste in my mouth when it comes to anything judo though.

I also breezed through the third season of The Venture Bros., and that gave me a lot less to complain about. A reader told me that I'd enjoy the world building, and I wasn't disappointed.

There was plenty of series "history" to be enjoyed too. The Action Man is my favorite from the old Team Venture.

"Action! Action! Action, action, action, action, action!"

The fact that the original Team Venture had a member named "Humongoloid" is one of the funniest things ever.

PS also directed me to this lovely video, showcasing Brock Samson's exploits from the first three seasons.

I've started Season 4, but that's for next time. (Other than the Venture universe has a girl Hitler AND a dog Hitler. LOL?!?!)

...

I know I shouldn't complain about how the manga turned crappy, but it's like with Game of Thrones, even though I never watched it.
