hontou ni Stripey Insists Sisters Cry Oniichan Now

Hatsukoi Limited 9

Some may say that Renjou-senpai is a worthy, worthy man while others were blown away by this 'most beautiful and poignant of the bunch' of high school rom-com stories. But with my /cynical switch constantly being auto-flipped throughout the episode, whenever Worthy Worthy Man opened his mouth, I just kept thinking: ???? you cheat on Shinji! LOL

Behold the power of art. Unfortunately, where I come from, 'painting' is also slang for... cunninlingus OTL

And I was just completely ROTFLMAO when this happened. It's a Hontouni in-joke. Let me explain:

When we were in Junior College (that's the equivalent of high school in the US), Stripey had (well, he still has) quite the reputation for being a lady's man. Since Jin Yong martial arts TV series was all the rage back then, he was proclaimed to a deadly exponent of the Eighteen Hugs to Subdue the Maiden (????? -a play on the Eighteen Palms to Subdue the Dragon) based on the internal energy practices of the Nine Yang Pretending to be Pure and Honourable Doctrines (????? - a play on Jiu Yang Zhen Jing). The opening attack: ??? (Hug Hug Palm)! More than a dozen years later, a mere mention of the above-mentioned phrase in Stripey's presence can reduce a group of grown men into a hysterical laughing heap.

And if Nao was light haired, in addition to being loli, I'd bet a furiously wagging tanuki tail would have popped up from behind Renjou-senpai.
