    • Ah yeah man. I’m looking forward to it.

      (By the way, whenever I leave comments on this site from now on, I’m going to use this name. In the past I’ve used several names and changed them very often, but now I’ve decided that I’m going to stick to one name.)

  4. Hello Web master

    A while back you posted two awesome pictures of Yu and tomoko as panty and stocking. Along with an image of tomoko, tomoki and in a Kung fu pose. do you remember these? I actually color printed them and put them in a cheap small frame on my wall. Look great, but I was wondering what the Kung-fu image wording said.

    • >Yu and tomoko as panty and stocking
      >tomoko, tomoki and in a Kung fu pose

      Sorry, I don’t remember either of them.

      If you upload the pic on imgur.com or somewhere, and then post its URL here, I’ll translate it into English for you.

    • Oh, I kinda think I know whose image you’re talking about Tomoko, Tomoki and Yuu in Kung-Fu pose.
      It was a funny picture and the front cover on /3w/ cover, but infortunately after /3w/ winter blackout, I didn’t manage to see it again.

      It may be inside the tomoko masterfile posted on 8chan, but right now I’m in a bar and I don’t feel like checking a whole 462 Mo file containing only images (often lewd) of the same manga girl.

      Webmaster, I’d like to know what is marked in this one:

      • As Catwister and Teddiyori said, it’s a reference to the cover art of Kill Me Baby volume 1.

        >キルミベイベー
        Kill Me Baby

        >いっそ殺してくれ
        JUST KILL ME NOW

        JustKillMeNow

      • AS JM said, it’s a reference to the back cover art of Yotsuba&! volume 2.

        >わたもて
        Watamote

        >私がモテないのはどう考えてもお前らが悪い!
        No matter how I look at it, it’s you guys’ fault I’m not popular!

      • Yes, that’s the one I asked about. I went to the print shop and had it printed on nice glossy 8×10 paper. I framed it and it looks real cool, but I never found out what it said. I guess I should have known it was just the name. Thanks!

  6. Wooo Webmaster Yay Chapter 82 is out this week and Can I say thank yuu for making that b day pic it’s saved to my phone Thanks webmaster you are AWESOME!!!!! From A Happy Teddiyori Who Lives In Australia ^^

  7. Happy_birthday_Teddiyori

    Happy Birthday, Teddiyori!

    I hope you have a wonderful Birthday filled with Love & Fun!

  8. Well that was a good chapter. I honestly didn’t expect we’d see Tomoko deliver the souvenirs to her brother.

  10. XD Kuroki face from that narwhal painting Webmaster that was really short Ahhh Good a great pre birthday present for me now to wait for August ^.^ webmaster what was yr fav part of this chapter?

    • Watamote_chapter_081_02

      Tomoko’s blushing face. Trying to buy a BL doujin TWICE was very funny, too.

      >女性向
      For women

      >ホモォ…
      Homoo…

          • I personally think she is not yet because I think Fujoshi means women who are addicted to BL. She is interested in BL, but not addicted yet.

            Some Japanese probably say “All women who like BL are Fujoshi”, though.

          • @Webmaster

            Generalising girls because of their taste on BL seems as accurate as the french common thought: “Anyone who likes, directly or indirectly, anything related to Japan are with no exception retarded hipser wanabe”.

  11. Chapter 81 is out.

    I wonder if you guys have known these kinds of stuff. I myself had known only their terms and outlines.

    Anyway, the school trip arc has finished. So please cast your final vote to “Which roommate on the school trip is your favorite?” I’ll close it when the next chapter is out.

    And I made a new poll by a request from TCF. Please cast your vote to it, too!

    ・What is Tomoko for you?

      • I hadn’t heard of the manga before, but I googled and found it was exactly about an Eurian girl.

        A term Eurian comes from “絵/paintings” + “売り/sell” + “アン/-an (English suffix)”

        • I don’t really know if you have b& me because of my last comment or if the forum is experiencing technical difficulties, but I try to post one more time.

          If I can’t see this comment, then I’ll assume for 12 hours it’s just a bug, after I’ll assume you hit me with the BanHammer.

          • To prevent comment spam, some comments, for example with a URL, need to be approved before they will appear.

            I’m checking at least one time a day. So please be patient.

    • Short but rather cool chapter.
      I prefer the gags now, way more than before, because now Tomoko is not being infected emotionaly or physicaly wounded by her mistakes or misunderstandings, at least not that much.

      Yes, webmaster, I’ve heard of this kind of “dates” before, in one of those TV show we’re so pround to make here who mocks other people and their different culture (especialy concerning Japan).

      All I remember about that is a scene where they shown an young salaryman paying for a date with a girl that looked like she was a third year in HS. Else than talking about absolutely nothing concrete (“I like gentle boys” “O-Oooh this is exactly me”) all they did was looking at each others with ashamed smiles.
      I’ve also heard some HS girls tended to “take a ride” with older men in exchange of money, without nescessary ending up with sex, but still. And sometime it may end up really bad. For example, read “the savior” (not sure this is the right title) from Tanigushi.

      While in the 21th century this is mostly unaccepted by society, I’ve learnt this culture of “being accompagned with yougers girls” may have something to do with the feodal samurai and cult of warrior from the past. What do you think about this webmaster ?

      Also, about the poll I cannot choose between Yoshida and Yuri.
      They both would fit the best friends possible for Tomoko. Yashida being pretty much the inverse of Tomoko (and frankly I’ve got the feeling she’s getting a crush for Tomoko) and Yuri with her kind heart and very adaptativeness. I think those two could bring more to Tomoko than her mother, brother, homeroom teacher, Yuu, the female Sempai and anyone else.

        • … Yesterday I’ve posted a long comment concerning this chapter, but it was apparently deleted (I’ve checked on different connexions and computers)
          Then I attempted to post a message asking if you deleted it (no url), but it never appeared.
          I’ve changer my IP and ISP, and posted, and this time it worked.

          That’s the story. I was wondering if you’d b& me because of my comment. But it just came back. So webmaster, it seems the forum is experiencing some technical errors.

          • I say again.

            To prevent comment spam, some comments need to be approved before they will appear. So please calm down.

      • Aren’t you a bit paranoid? :p

        Relax, man. At times I have problems with the webpage too.

    • I don’t think the pictures of older siblings are non-canon.

      I mean, there gotta be days where the sis doesn’t feel like using him for her sexuals fantasms and the bro doesn’t play the close-minded normie douchebag.

  13. Hey webmaster ch 81 is out Tonight for yuu ^.^/ look forward to yr recap ^^

  14. i just noticed the terraformars refrence lol…. seriously?! they made a parody out of it even before it was turned into an anime?

    • They usualy do small cameo/references in the manga, like Misaki from Another or Mekaku City Actors (the kagepro anime), or even Smash Bros for 3DS.

      Tanigawa Nico aren’t hermits from the rest of the world. They’re Anons. This is probably why they don’t want their identities to be know.

  16. Webmaster chapter 81 is out this week any thoughts bout what will happen now that the school trip arc is over?

    • In Japan, there is a saying, “A school trip never ends until you get home (Be careful until you get home).”

      I think at least Tomoko should get home and give Tomoki the GUN keychain as a souvenir.

  17. Well I wasn’t like Tomoko but I can this having symptoms of anxiety really effects yr life socially and all that jazz it’s comforting to know this manga is reality it’s good to see things in reality perspective because this does happen

  18. Fun fact
    when i knew about watamote i asked my friend about it if watched it or not. The conversation went like this.
    Me: hey X have you heard about an anime/manga called watamote?
    X: yes…
    Me: Did you see it?
    X: i couldn’t finish the first episode
    Me:why…?
    X:because it wasn’t funny… it was depressing… i was getting hurt while watching it that i didn’t complete the first episode

    • I experienced the same thing but with the manga.

      2 years or so ago, I’ve shared this manga with some girl over skype (because for whatever stupid reason, talking about anime and manga IRL in france will stick in you front “I’m a retarded social misfit”).

      After 5 minutes she replied “Eh… well… I cannot read more than chapter 1, the girl’s eyes are scaring me and that’s depressing”.
      … The hell ?

      This is how I discovered that most normies won’t search to understand, they only judge on the appearence.
      I guess that is why people from most of my childhood treated me like a piece of shit.
      Because I’ve got fucking scary look with my natural dark heavy bags under the eyes and blue-green iris color, because I’ve naturally got it hard to speak without hesitation because of my handicap even now, because of my unusual reasoning over things, because I’m not good not bad at mostly anything.

      But in the end, I guess I’m ok with that. You can’t trust people anyways, they may act friendly and all, but in the end we all act for our own interrests, so we choose B:Betray, for survival.

      • I would like to deny last part but i can’t. Because it happened to me and i did it myself. But what i think is important is at least to regret betraying for survival from the bottom of your heart or so you speak and believe me, almost no one do that . I had almost the same problems as her when i was a kid. I was even scared to step one foot outside the house. One day mu dad noticed that and forced me to go play with the other kids. Even if you are handicapped and can’t speak without hesitation, i believe such problems could be delt with by working hard over time.

        And yeah… one of my friends told me that the normal ppl live a completely different lives than us and its hard for us to understand each other

  19. Am i the only one who feels like he is pathatic while watching/reading this work?! I mean even if i laugh it feels like i am laughing at myself! I mean it feels like i am looking at myself in a different perspective while reading this. It really hurts to read this kind of works. I started reading this manga because. … well i was depressed and when i am depressed i read something depressing or sick ( in this case watamote). I wished to say how a girl would be if she was an outcast, shy, otaku, stupid and clumsy. .. but after seeing watamote i don’t want to see something like that

    • I’d venture to say that Watamote owes a large portion of its success to what you’re saying. Most of us Watamote fans relate to Tomoko at some level. I know I do. So don’t feel alone, because you aren’t. :)

    • I feel less worse when I relate to Tomoko. Cause I know I’m not alone and that encourages me to be myself. No matter how depressed or creepy.

      • I am not sure about that… because i think she represented me lots of times in lots of events( at different periods of my life)

  20. On the subject of hentai has anyone read the guro one? While it appeared to piss most people off I thought it was kinda funny. I guess readers took it personally.

    • I read the guro one because I’m a completionist when it comes to things I fan like watamote. It was a horrifying experience. Not scary but gross/tasteless. I wish it did not exist.

    • In therm of gore, this is a admirable piece or art.
      I’m not really shocked by the gore, for the 2 reasons I’ve seen a lot of cognito hazardous over the internet, and gthe second is because we’ve studied a lot of gore, violent, and sexual poems,books and paints back then in High School.
