◆ Material (notes and other miscellaneous items)

When I consider that even Tamaki Yuichiro, who went to Tokyo University, went to Harvard, went to the Ministry of Finance, and is now the leader of a public political party, ended up blowing himself up with a penis bomb, the credibility of a story I read somewhere before, 'We have one brain, two balls, and when it comes down to it, we'll lose by majority vote,' becomes much more apparent.

When I went to McDonald's with my girlfriend for the first time, I saw her carefully folding a hamburger wrapper and thought to myself, 'What a nice person,' and when I told her after we got married, she laughed and said, 'I was so nervous I didn't know what to say so I was just folding the paper in front of me while thinking, lol,' and I thought how cute she was.

This is the only life hack I loved after a takoyaki party that was taught to me by my ex-boyfriend, who I hated the most in the history of the game. It's a grilled rice ball made by putting sesame oil, noodle soup, eggs, cold rice, etc. into the leftover ingredients from the takoyaki party. It was so delicious that we ended up dating for 3 years.

A certain manga artist whom I respect

'A woman's desire for big breasts is the same as a man's desire for six-pack abs.'

Having said that, I agree with the big breasts, but if that's the case, doesn't that mean that a heroine with big breasts and six-pack abs is the strongest?

I think that will be the case.
