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: ONORE KAWORU you cheat on Shinji! LOL

Behold the power of art. Unfortunately, where I come from, 'painting' is also slang for... cunnilingus 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: 抱抱掌 (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.
