I was surprised to learn that this was a shounen series, because this kind of rapist/Stockholm syndrome type arrangement is usually the province of shoujo stories and otome games.

I'm not mad! I know I can't beat the pretty high school girl who's basically a mom to them.

You must really like this scene.

That is correct.

I like the Mitama family in general. Smile

I understand your predilections completely. The Mitama household consists of a drop-dead gorgeous JK looking after a set of adorably playful catgirl triplets, and an irresistible ultra-cute loli. Their combined moe level is over nine thousand; who could resist?

Anyhow, I've seen some good quotes in the current season so I'm looking forward to people using those. Turn is open.

From a fansub:

She says most of the time she doesn’t know what to do with the people so she kills them off to get rid of them.

Have zero clue where this quote is from but I'm intrigued about the answer.

Hint # 1: spoiler[The speaker is the anime's protagonist - she is describing the predilictions of another member of her club.]

Fansubs in this day and age? Likely to be some Netflix or Amazon show. My hunch is Kakegurui based on the hint but I am both at work and on a phone and can't research the show.

It is possible, but an equally like explanation is that this title is not licensed where errinundra lives.

Or it's from a really old show that only has fansubs.

Hint #2: spoiler[The speaker of the quote and the subject of the quote are best friends, go to the same school and both have braided twin tails. Visual differences include the speaker having thick red plaits that hang free, while the subject has sparse black plaits looped into circles and tied with bows, usually red.]

Hint #3: spoiler[The speaker is describing to her normally stern, but in this instance bemused, foster carer the activities of the story writing club she formed at school. The enthusiastic speaker is unaware how odd her account is out of context.]

This is spoiler[Anne Shirley describing Diana Barry's lack of imaginative endings to her stories. She is talking to Marilla Cuthbert. Anne of Green Gables].

Perfect. Your turn, Raftina.

I have a sister called spoiler[Marilla].

And Vaisaga's theory was the best.
