This really gets my goat. Awkwardness does not need to be such a self-fulfilling prophecy. I also think the despite any implied intimacy, we humans are wired to crave touch. Awkwardness is born of unnecessary self-consciousness!
All that said, returning to the situation in the last panel…oh, my.
Obviously the Glamour Glasses are not sufficient to suppress all of Mindy’s charms.
This girl is a walking weapon of mass desire, and I have to wonder what that’s going to do to her in the end.
Now she just handing him the goods. And totally (at the moment.) unaware she is doing so. They are perfect for each other. The blind leading the clueless. She’s Booksmart and shy and awkward in every other way. And he’s too pretty for his own good. while at the same time clueless. The boys’ deck has less than the normal 52 cards. Also, his hands are in a place that healthy males the world over would envy right now. Totally by mistake and through no bad actions on his part. Of course, we are talking about the boy who changed from a butterfly to a nude male. While Castela was stripping down to take a shower. causing her to punch him through a wall because they both got an eyeful. So this isn’t the 1st time he’s been in place like this.
I’m getting a serious premonition that this discussion (and probable accidental touching) is going to result in her glasses coming off with the resultant removal of the glamour – to the general discomfort of everyone involved.
That will be _the_ big test for Hiroshi.
The one thing Mindy needs is an intimate friend, someone who knows exactly what she is and how to handle it without going ape.
“The question then is not whether or not a girl should be touched. The question is merely where, when, and how she should be touched.” —Isaac Asimov, in “The Sensuous Dirty Old Man.”
Now, she’s just pushing it.
Them. She’s pushing them.
Poor child has gotta calm down…
Not gonna happen with that grip.
If one were to plot the level of “awkward” on a graph… it just went hyperbolic.
Definitely approaching infinity from the positive side…
More like hypergolic, I’d say… o!O
A hyperbola is hardly the sharpest of curves, but then, they’re hardly the sharpest either.
But it DOES have a vertical asymptote, and I think we just hit it.
You’re referring to a specific subset of hyperbolae, where for a specific value of x, calculating y involves division by zero.
Unintended base running here.
This made me laugh out loud.
I wonder if either of them are aware of where his hands got to. And he’s got such big hands…
She’s so busy talking about touching that she hasn’t realized where Hiroshi’s hands are…
Looking at his face, I’d say he knows . . .
HONK!
That’s more of an “AOOOOOGAH!!!” O!O
Possibly a foghorn.
Lordy, but there’s a lot of subconscious tomfoolery afoot…
That escalated fast, I’m starting to wonder who’s really sneaky here.
Mindy, my love, if you don’t want any more “inadvertent touching,” you need to back up about three feet there…
Meanwhile on Olympus, Aphrodite just got a splitting headache.
She’s never gonna tutor him in “The Canterbury Tales” if she keeps going like that.
Well, there’s always “The Kama-Sutra”.
She walked right into that.
Literally ❗
Ba-dum-tss!

She walked right into that one…
Giggling… too… hard… to… breathe….
LITERALLY!!! 😜

“Okay, I know this looks bad, but I swear it’s not what it looks like!”
Yeah, I don’t think anyone’s gonna buy that.

I think Mindy is hyperalert to any intimacy because of her heritage. She never seems certain that an interaction happened naturally or by her glamour.
You’ve been watching anime again, haven’t you Paul?
Man, his hands are huge!
I swear, I did not notice that till you said that. Not the hands, but where they are.
Hiroshi: Oh, my heavy breathing has fogged up your glasses. Here, let me take those off and clean them for you.
Methinks there’s definitely some overlap on their Venn diagram…
Ohkay, someone is about to have contact with ‘That’ wall, aren’t they
I am still waiting for that wall to claim the threatened victim.
Hiroshi is thinking “God, her too? Every time a girl presses her breasts into my hands it’s just nothing but trouble.”
