Oh Lord have mercy, how true it is!!

I need to beg the author/creator/artist for permission to make an LJ icon of Nina's face in that last panel. That's me, half the time when I watch Bleach or one of my fave sappy shoujo titles I like. Embarassed

To quote another webcomic: "STUPID USELESS COMPASSION!" :3

This series is so wonderful because of how disturbingly true it is. Keep it up.

I'm a little more partial to her expressions in panels 4 and 6, since I think I had both of them when watching YuYu Hakusho.

Anyway, it does start getting better for a few episodes, but the battle for the antidote (while Mari's lingering death scene would make Hamlet impatient) is another 24 episodes. Daiuke's a little dim - he never does figure out that his cleaning power increases whenever his little sister cries out "Nii nii!" half a world away until the final episode. That's dramatic irony, man.

This reminds me of the lactose-intolerant girl backstory in Yakitate... she's not dead. No one dies in shounen.

People die....They just come back two episodes later.

And also, it depends on the shounen. Even the generic tournament style shows have people getting permanently knocked off sometimes. Heck, I lost track of how many people died in Fullmetal Alchemist o.o

Indeed, how true! and the episode titles are disturbingly funny, especially episode 4: The first janitorial tournament-I'll be the best!!. I wonder what would happen if such tournament exists in real life... Shocked Anyway, another amazing work, keep it up! Very Happy

I take it the person who changed the tv to "Balony" has an HD-DVD player and/or a 360? Wink

The pace of UMD DX is moving faster than I thought...I hope it doesn't catch up to the manga, because I would totally hate filler episodes.

Hm... UMD DX has great potential - can you imagine 10 year old boy, who doesn't want become best pirate, best ninja, best fighter of the world, but... best cleaner? Can you imagine that happy face of his mother, when she bought him Cleaning UMD DX set TM with UMD DX mop TM, UMD DX dust-cloth TM, UMD DX detergent TM and don't forget UMD DX rubber gloves TM, and since then she doesn't have to clean the house, cause his good son clean all?

Mr. Sevakis, did you already contacted your local "Cleaning tools & products" manufacturer? ~_^
