Hiroshi is charmingly innocent of Mindy’s discomfort, and based on Mindy’s body language since we’ve met her – shoulders slumped, book bag held tight against a chest that must not be exposed at any cost – I’d say she’s having a really hard time dealing with her adolescent body. Sitting on Hiroshi’s shoulders like this looks like the prelude to a meltdown, poor kid.
I have a feeling that Hiroshi may end up getting a very potent scolding from Scarlet, Castela, et al, on the topic of “why ‘manhandling’ a young woman without her explicit consent is a really, really bad idea.” Put simply, “Huh?” is not the same as “Ok, go ahead, hoist me and drape my legs around your neck”.
We don’t know what happens between frames. It’s reasonable to assume we heard all that was said, but not the action. He didn’t sneak up on her and hoist… for one thing, she’d go stiff and fall. She assisted, likely on autopilot.
He’s still an idiot, and I wouldn’t call it enthusiastic & explicit consent. But it ain’t coerced, and… wait.
Is he Ace? Does he just have absolutely no clue about sex at all?
No, Ace people know about sex, they are just not interested in it, or, at least, derive no pleasure from it like non-Ace people (it’s not that they hate it, there’s just nothing pleasurable or enjoyable about it, like taking out the garbage: it’s just something one endures if they must)
Having a girl on your shoulders isn’t all that provocative. Making sure he won’t drop her is foremost in his mind, so he’s happy she’s so light and his balance can handle her shifting around. As for Mindy, I’m sure the closeness and contact has her super flustered, so it’ll either go away once she begins to concentrate on placing cameras or she won’t be able to at all because of it. I’m betting on the latter.
Now if this were Atsali, she’d have sprouted any number of wings, tails, talons, and who knows what else. So what is Mindy’s Aspect of Arousal? Let’s hear it for Great-Grandma!
Mindy has a surprisingly BIG bust, she’s very pretty (glasses or no), She’s INCREDIBLY smart, she’s a card-carrying geek of the first order; With all that going for her, I think I could see these two becoming an item very soon
All the broken nerd brains thanks to oblivious Hiroshi..
This is going to be one spectacular train wreck.
The boy ain’t right…
“That boy’s got a brain like a steel trap. Full o’ mice.” (Foghorn Leghorn)
If you’re thinking that now, wait & see Mindy’s expressions as Hiroshi starts bouncing up the stairs…
Hope Mindy’s pants are pretty thick.
She appears to be wearing shorts. His hands are right on her trembling flesh.
Believe Robert Nowall meant ‘thick’, as in ‘absorbant’, or Moth Boy will be wondering if it is raining down his back
No way Hiroshi is that oblivious, the smrik, the smrik
I’m pretty sure that smirk is because she’s so light and won’t be hard to carry around. Obliviousness stands.
Nope, he really is that clueless
Hold on tight, Mindy. Grab him by the ears. No, wait. That comes later.
Yeah, *after* he turns around 180 degrees…
Somewhere, Mindy’s grandma is whooping and shouting, “Close the deal, kid!”
From Mindy’s expressions for the past couple of pages, yeah, I’d say Hiroshi is moving way too fast…

dear god Hiroshi stahp it, the poor girl can’t take much more. ~<3

Oh Daaaave, being all realistic & responsible & mature…
here wait- “The back of my neck is so warrrm!…”, oh and ‘Nom, Nom, nom!’ There I feel better now.

Well, it didn’t take her long to get him between her thighs…
Methinks Hiroshi forgot the “great responsibility” part of “with great hotness comes great responsibility.”
He’s not aware he’s hot.
Which, given the way teenagers who [i]are[/i] aware behave, is a good thing.
All that comes to mind is the old cartoons… TILT!!!!
‘Too fast’ in an entirely different way there, ya dink!
Mindy looks like a Mimicyu cosplay.
Bounce up and down a few times, Hiro, just to make sure she’s snug.
She’s a minor!
So is he

“Having a girl on your shoulders isn’t all that provocative”
Maybe not for the guy, but having a cute guy between your legs? I think you’re looking at it from the wrong side!
Nerd girl down nerd girl down! Get the crash cart! After the brain melts the heart will go next!
Mindy’s brains are about to run out her ears.
Or lower, much lower
Yippee Tay Yay – ride ’em, cowgirl!
This is hilarious. I have been Hiroshi in this scenario in the past, just as clueless.
I dont think he’s as clueless as he appears.
Countess Scarlioni: “I don’t think he (the Doctor) is as stupid as he appears.”
Count Scarlioni: “My dear, NO ONE could be as stupid as he appears!”
The pack. Where’s her pack?
Now if this were Atsali, she’d have sprouted any number of wings, tails, talons, and who knows what else. So what is Mindy’s Aspect of Arousal? Let’s hear it for Great-Grandma!
That’s what the glasses are for…
heeeey A few pages ago she was wearing long black leggings/pants.

🤔The angle/s at which Mincy has been carrying books in front of her chest is inconsistent with the size of her breasts❗
Apparently Barbara is shipping Mindy and Hiroshi 🤔
