I can't tell if this is a fascination with octopuses worked into manga or the other way around.

Either way I don't get why incestend yet again. Is it really popular in Japan?

Are you kidding? About a quarter of the h-stuff out there is incest . I dont know why but its a popular fetish.

Off the top of my head I'd guess because with Japan's piss-poor birth rate, the likelihood of having a sibling is fairly rare and thus has the appeal of the unknown.

Aw come on, she doesn't even get the favor of a separate clone to go off and be semi-normal this time?

Technically, the males bring the food to DISTRACT the females. Their sperm is in a special forelimb that can be used after they're killed so they tend to bring something for the female to be preoccupied with so they can do the deed and run the hell away.

Plus an interesting tidbit of information about Adorea. She can't refuse if someone asks her to do something, apparently.
>> No. 67410
>>67401
That was pretty heartwarming, almost had a Grand Finale feeling to it, it'd be a good way to end its first OVA series if this ever gets adapted.

Don't take this the wrong way though, but until I realized she could talk, I thought that Adorea was the artist's lover from Chapter 8, now that I think about it, she's far too tall and timid to fit the profile.

Dear /jam/,

I have something of a problem.

I recently hit it off with this great girl after everyone else ran off during a fascinating lecture she was giving in my med school. She's sweet, pleasant, cute, smart and has a great head (detachable too) for business. A lovely young lady.

We've dated been dating for a while because she often travels, and she even let me visit her home to meet her family and live-in staff, who while somewhat weary off me at first (and a little eager to pry me open), were highly professional and accommodating overall.

But she's quite brilliant, really brilliant, breathtakingly brilliant, beautifully brilliant. I don't resent her for it, but I feel that I'll eventually run out of things to talk to her about because her medicinal (not to mention scientific) knowledge eclipses my own. She's made my life more exciting but it's a two way street and I'd hate for her to feel bored and trapped by me.

I care about this person a lot, and while I'm not sure if it's 'love' I care about her happiness and wish to work harder so I can walk beside her with ease and deserve her affections, perhaps even meriting a position as her assistant if I prove skillful enough. Even if it means ending our relationship for a while so I can study, with the risk of someone else snatching her heart while I'm away.

When I told her of such she made a startling offer. A Brain-Enhancement surgery to increase my intellect, the cost of which I'd pay off via my services as an assistant. I have no doubt in my mind that she is capable of this feat and was quite touched by this proposition.

But I have to ask, putting my pride aside and possible malpractice, should I go for this? Or should I reach her level of knowledge through my own efforts?

There are a lot of factors to take into account, so much so that I must ask for your council.

Sincerely,
Confused
>> No. 70497
>>70493
Go for the surgery, every time. What could possibly go wrong?

Also, raises an interesting question to debate, does anyone think Fran actually has any genuine interest in dating anyone herself? She seems more the (hilariously bad) matchmaker than the kind to go for personal romances. Not to mention her... uh, dedication to Doctor Madaraki.
>> No. 70517
So I read through the manga today.

This is the funniest shit ever. Finally someone who just GETS it.
>> No. 70537
>>70497
I don't know if she's interested, but it would be cool to see her date because another person was interested in her. You know, just Fran trying to be sweet and amiable and social...and also maybe to test the other person's physical/mental reactions. I think it's arguable that Fran does social experiments here and there.

This was posted in the /jam/ general, but I figure it should be posted here as well.

Kigitsu isn't "officially done" with Franken Fran, he's deemed it on Hiatus since he wants to spend more time on his other stories like Phase 20
>> No. 71174
>>71173
Well, I guess that's some relief. Still sad to hear it's on hold, but that's better than being flat-out cancelled. At least he's still putting out new material, and Phase 20 is entertaining in its own right.

I mean, it felt like it was written by a dude and I'm usually pretty good at telling.

Did you read the very end message of the last chapter? The translators went out of their way to point out Kigitsu is female.

Her next manga starts in the very next volume right away. I guess she got bored with Fran? I don't think the magazine would want a new manga right away if it actually was cancelled.

Man... I'm almost afraid to read these. So long as there's a chapter I haven't read yet, it's almost like it hasn't really ended.

And whoever >>71173 is, your proffered false hopes have turned to bitter ashes, and I'm mad at you.

About that...
http://hoxtranslations.blogspot.com/2012/02/farewell-franken-fran.html
>Note: Apparently, I'm a fucking retard who never bothered to check up his sources because Kigitsu is actually a man (like everyone thought before being told otherwise). I don't know where I initially heard this from and even mangaupdates (though I guess that's not a very reliable database at all) had his gender listed as female. In any case, I've learned my lesson to always check sources first.

>>71527
According to Hox's latest post, it's called "Hasami-Onna" (Scissors-woman). Unfortunately Hox also said he doesn't currently plan to translate the new series, so it'll fall to another translator to pick up the slack.

Read the last chapter. A little understated for a final chapter, but still quite good, though of course bittersweet.

Now I'm going to go listen to Galgasang for an hour straight and sulk a bit.

Indeed. I wonder if it's at all related to the kuchisake-onna legend, or if it's something else entirely.

Alright, yeah, there we go. I was caught aback by the "female" thing primarily because I had SWORN I had seen a photo of Kigitsu at a signing even (wearing a ridiculous brain helmet, even) and he was definitely male. What a weird misconception.

Yo, I finally found out how to send fan-mail to Kigitsu, so if anyone else was interested in sending him something, send me an e-mail.

I sent an e-mail to the dude who makes these too fukn FINALLY.

PS Kigitsu is currently working on a shounen school detective manga.

That sounds rad, did the Scissor thing turn out to be rumors?
