*meh* I couldn't get through this.
It's boring and confusing and just not for me.
The art is good though.

December 24, 2025きつい性描写が嫌すぎて先へ進めない。飛ばして読むか、その部分は紙貼ってしまうか。
青年漫画だからしょうがないんだろうけど、女性蔑視がひどすぎ。こういうので女性をおもちゃだと思う馬鹿なクズ男が量産されるのかも。
でも、ストーリーやセッティングはすごくいい。だからなおさら惜しい。

実家のガレージで眠ってたのを正月に発掘して持って帰ってきた。これに比べると Stand Alone Complex は内容が薄いよねーとか思う。実は士郎正宗の考え方ってどうも私と合わない部分が多くて、この本も20年前に読んだときは「いやいやいや」とか言いながら読んだんだけど、まあそういうとこも含めてためになる本でなかろうか。あと、現実の社会ってSFと違って20年経ってもあんま変わらんよのう、とか。

Awesome! Love Motoko, and the story with the Puppeteer.
