Atsali, Castela, and Hiroshi are a socially-impaired Butterflies. Whatever Phylum or Assemblage of Elemental Components she hails from, she’s either another genuine Nerd, or a social climber, and power sniffer. I doubt it’s coincidence she chooses to model herself on Atsali.
In Atsali’s case she cannot read anyone, but it’s a well known fact, that when somebody is in love, the target of said love is usually the most oblivious about it.
Hmm. Potential “error” — in the character list for this strip, Castela is listed, but she’s only mentioned, she’s not physically present in this scene. (not a big deal…)
Ahha! Another new character. And a cute one, too.
So, what’s her para background, I wonder?

What? From the sounds of things, Shawna has known Hiro from before he got flutterby’ed
@Jeff
I’m sure Paul will get around to dropping us a hint about that in about 3-5 years, as usual. -_-
So if you’re aware that you’re oblivious, are you obliviously self aware? I’ve never been sure how that works.
Maybe there is a class he and Atsali could take.
Awareness of obliviousness is merely the first step in figuring out how to deal with it. That but can take a while.

Great. Castela is going to be dating the male version of her brother.
Don’t you mean her sister. 😀
Two years later I look upon this comment and smile. *SPOILER* Castela’s future significant other is indeed shown here… but it ain’t Hiroshi
Oh, sh*t.
Hiroshi is clueless, Castela is freaking out, and there’s a predator on the loose.
And a good time was had by all.
All the informed spectators, that is. Who has the popcorn?

Yeah, there’s a grammar error in Hiroshi’s first speech, but it’s such a fine point I let it go.
This school is an airport with clues buzzing right over everyone’s heads…
[x] unconscious incompetence
[x] conscious incompetence
[ ] conscious competence
[ ] unconscious competence
And that was ms for most of middle school and high school.
That last frame, Shawna is so “You will be mine, oh, you will be. . .” but I hear it in a Yoda voice. So, I’m nuts.
Or, Shawna is Fae, and was the real culprit in Hiroshi’s “lost year”, ftaming someone else.
Castela may have to blast her.
Castela might blast her anyway. Or at least smack her hard.
Without even understanding why, cause she doesn’t want to admit she might have a thing for Hiroshi.
Oh no, Cas learned her lesson last time. And last time, her competition was a friend. This time? Whoever this Shawna is, she’s toast.
it’s gonna get messy!
It’s not an anime until it’s a love triangle
quadrangle at least. Unless MC shifts to Hiroshi in which case it becomes a Harem anime…
Beep beep, b**ch alert.
I am still clueless myself and i am grandpa already. How comes?
Hiroshi spends an inordinate amount of time thinking things through. Too much time on his hands, maybe. He needs a girlfriend.
Emphasis on the “friend”. He needs someone watching his six as much as his gender.
This is soooo me.
OK! I get a Cold Chill from that one, when she lets her Game Face slip.
Also is she one of Atsali’s unintentional Fashion Victims?
What? Oh right, because she’s wearing glasses and looks ‘nerdy’ she obviously got the idea from Sali :rolleyes:
Speaking of unreciprocated feelings…
Case in point…
