I mean, The Perfect Crime Club seems like a stupid series and the writer's gonna have to do more to make me believe it's going to be able to compete with Mai Husbando Eiji.

See, I just am getting the impression that this manga is saying if you're a girl, you should have the "ability to sense that being too smart isn't cute."

No wait, that was a direct quote.

No.45033
Iwase is one of the most disgusting characters in the series. She starts a bitch and has pretty much stayed that way.

On the other hand we've got, say, Aoki, who starts off pretty fucking frigid, but has gotten much friendlier.

Contrast Aoki's partner, a guy who starts out a hardworking and honest artist and becomes a huge bastard before eventually saying "fuck it" and going back home to work the family farm in penance for his bastard.

No.45034

All that says is that a lot of men are turned off by smart women, which is sadly true. The heroes (you know, the ones whose opinions we're supposed to give a shit about) are not of that mold.

You know, as stated ON THE EXACT FUCKING PAGE YOU POSTED.
>She's smart, that's why she's so appealing.

No.45035
Seriously, femanon, keep reading. That "the fact that she's proud of it is repulsive" was either poorly phrased or mistranslated. Iwase isn't proud, she's arrogant to the point of...y'know, being repulsive. I'd show you a page of what I mean, but it'd be spoilers, so basically I'll sum it up; she spends all of a dozen chapters trying to hit on her boss, who's in his 30s maybe. Wearing short skirts, getting in his face and asking what he thought of her perfume, etc. He blows her off completely.
She gets a new, younger boss, maybe early 20s, who's pretty chubby, and he says something like, "Even if it is just business, Iwase...it's sorta nice hanging out with a pretty girl like you."
She slams her hand down on the table in a public cafe, and flips the fuck out. "ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? GET REAL, ONE MORE COMMENT LIKE THAT AND I'LL SUE YOU FOR SEXUAL HARASSMENT."
She's a cunt. It's repulsive.

And as for the "Men have dreams that women can't understand," that was said by a 70-80 year old man. People that old are sexist/racist/trolls, it's the type of thing they'd say.

Um, no? They like her and think she's smart because she purposefully cripples herself academically to make herself appealing to the boys in her class. That's not smart, that's fucking retarded. And the heroes approve of it. They are exactly of that mold.

>>45035
No, it was said by the father. Still, that can be chalked up to lol japan.

I am probably going to give this series another chance, though. You get a lot of fuckitry like this in anime and manga because, you know, lol japan, but usually it's spaced far enough apart that my bullshit meter doesn't go over my tolerance mark. Two examples within ten pages maxed me out. As long as that's the last of it for a while and it keeps the rest of the blatant misogyny far enough apart, I can probably enjoy it well enough.

No.45057
>>45051
I wouldn't say she "cripples herself academically," she just doesn't come off as a show-off bitchcunt like Iwase. She does well on all of her tests that the series shows and whatnot, so she's not playing up ditzyness or anything. She's just not acting so smart that no one will like her. Which is a smart thing to do.

But yeah, sorry, I haven't read the earlier chapters since the first time I read them, thought it was the gramps who said that. I seem to recall him saying something to a similar effect, maybe that happens later.

And later on, they meet a girl who's pretty much the second bro-iest bro in the series, so it's not like they're trying to cast women in a negative light or anything. Probably.

No.45456
>>45443

For all the good that this chapter is, I'm glad it's only one chapter as opposed to an entire arc. I know other manga would take contrived drama and stretch it out for chapters and chapters and chapters; Bakuman did that like once or twice (the marriage thing, the pre-Trap drama arc) but generally all the drama is brought up and resolved in a few panels. Things like where Hattori's says "Am I a good editor for these kids" [dun dun cliffhanger] and Miura's like "Shit yeah you are" and Hattori's like "Oh Ok then". I'm glad for that kind of pacing because it's like the author saying "Yeah, we know you hate this, let's throw it in there and subvert the shit out of it".
