He's just like me

Whenever I see people call this manga boring, I genuinely don't get it. It's like how, when I was new to slice of life, it really surprised me quite a lot to find out that some dismiss such works as lacking a plot, since that never even occurred to me. Even if you are just following the daily lives of the characters, each chapter or episode still has its own little story/stories. If the setting is nice and the characters are likeable, then I don't think there's anything missing.

Been contemplating to get a little boat myself, since I live in a place with a lot of waterways and lakes. Kinda want to explore and paint in those watery environments.
Can't say Aria didn't have an influence on that desire....

Also, I bought the reprints a long time ago, when they released, but I haven't had the guts to actually read through them.

>>286403434
Oh that would be nice but I don't have the money or space to build one. But it also crossed my mind to build a SCAMP since it's trailerable and it just looks like a fun and safe boat.

But these are just dreams for now, there's some magic in being on the water, I think this series encapsulates that fairly well.

>>286403607
I went down the sailboat rabbit hole too, I'd love to move to a coast town and learn to sail. hopefully one day these will stop being dreams.

Hire one for a holiday rental. I've done that a couple of times, let's you get an idea of what boat you like best.

Checked by the way

>>286405633
Maybe I'll take lessons first, I think there might be a sailing school nearby but not sure how they deal with a 30+ year old guy who never sailed before.

>>286406442
They'll just think you're having your midlife crisis early, either that or that you're a writer looking for material

>>286406442
No reason to assume they haven't gotten wizards before

They're paid to deal with it

>>286406691
'cause buying a boat (and then having to learn how to sail it) is exactly the sort of thing someone dealing with a midlife crisis does.

I'm gonna be honest, This whole time I've been operating under the assumption that Alice was a Single like the other two. When this chapter started I was thinking "Oooh, this is a secret test for her to become a Prima, isn't it?" and only when I recognized the location from last time did I actually stop and go back to look at her gloves.
I mean, I WAS right in a way, but still.

When I knew the manga was nearing its end/there weren't many chapters left, I wondered "wait, isn't Alice still a Pair?", and only when she and Athena got to Hope Hill it dawned on my that she might be promoted straight to Prima.
The chapter kinda turned into a nailbiter for me because I really wanted it to happen, but there was no guarantee it would.

Akari:

It's because of shit like this that cat sith needs to save her ass.
Old dude is probably glazing those dolls every day.

Dunno man, Aria's getting quite the eyeful there

These artworks always make me feel a little lonely and melancholic for some reason.

Then you should read YKK.

When Undines go to the toilet, do they have to take off that entire dress? Seems very inconvenient.

Silly anon, girls don't poop.

There are no sex pests on neo-venezia, part of it being a utopia is that degeneracy has been eliminated.

Imagine working around water all day and needing to do that each time you need to pee.

>>286437263
I wonder about girls' clothes and using the toilet in general

>>286437263
undines use diapers

Thanks OP
>Do you play with dolls?
No but when I was younger I liked to make robots out of cardboard, duct tape and split pins

>>286437263
I imagine they can just lift it up and do their business sitting at the edge of their Gondola

>>286437306

>>286437507

they would usually train you on a smaller craft like a laser or a sunfish, or help crew a small 2 or 3 person boat of >>286403607 size just to get the handling of a boat, the basics of navigating with the wind, and how to use your sails appropriately
Sailors are incredibly friendly people and pretty nonjudgemental; heck, most of them are just happy to see new people get into the hobby. I joined my father at his sailing club once a week for a summer when I was working an internship nearby and they were all pretty nice people. You don't need to find the ocean, even a large-sized lake might have some good opportunities for you

Will the next manga be comfy like this one?

I still listen to Lumis Eterne whenever I watch a sunset while hiking.
