Wow, that "GAH!?" pose is priceless.

So disillusioning. Kind of anti-man this comic, yet sadly rather true.
Not all men are like that Nina. |

Shoujo manga/anime men are to be appreciated and enjoyed, but not believed in. Nina found out in a funny way, but it can also be dangerous ("oh, in XYZ manga, that jerk was actually nice on the inside . . . so I'll just stick around with this abusive guy, because HE'LL turn out to be nice too!" No, it doesn't work that way). I love me some shoujo, but I'll stick with my real-life nice guy, flaws and all, thanks.

Probably the most true thing I've heard this week. Shoujo anime men are nice to look at and a good boost up for morale on those tough weeks, but they don't act like real men any more than shoujo heroines act like real women. I mean, c'mon, when was the last time you conveniently fainted in the arms of a good-looking guy or came down with a suspiciously well-timed fever? If I tried that, I'd fall in front of a speeding pickup or nail my would-be rescuer in the eye with an elbow or something. ...unless you really are one of the above stereotypes, in which case you're probably a freak of nature. |

Nice touch on the "Otaku" shirt
 You forgot the "we were walking in the rain when you fainted so I had to get you out of those wet clothes, give you a bath, and re=dress you, all while you were unconscious" backstory though

I think Kevin looks just dashing in Shoujo form (but then aren't all men depicted in Shoujo incredibly gorgeous?).
Shoujo has been mentioned twice so far on Anime News Nina (if I remember correctly). Once at the convention, and now this. I would appreciate a comic where Nina is shown watching a typical Shoujo series, just as you did with Shounen and Daisuke. But anyway, a great comic this week. P.S. Does Nina have a crush on Kevin? Why else would she expect something from him for Valentines Day? |

A backstory you seemed to have all thought out already Zalis. Though I must say that strip was totally false...false! I mean picking your nose with the dorito hand?!?! I don't think so. That nacho cheese burns like hell and we all know that. Plus you gotta lick the cheese dust off the fingers anyway. So he'd had used his other hand for the nose pick.

Priceless, just priceless! I recently had an experience like this after surfacing from a rather generic shojo manga.

Heck, licking the cheese dust off fingers is actually the single best thing about eating cheese-flavored junk foods... And I, for one wouldn't waste a good cheese dust-covered finger by sticking it in my nose.

Don't forget that he didn't see anything either! Good Comic as always! |

I somehow expected better than that from Kevin...

It seems to go both ways. It's probably just a side-affect of too much wish-fulfillment anime/manga. That and Valentines Day makes people take desperate measures. |

Wow, to me this was one of the funniest issues yet.
You captured the shoujo flair very well, and the ensuing contrast was suitably painful. And of course, the 'GAH' face is absolutely priceless. Greatest Valentine's Day themed web comic yet! |
