Lmfao I wonder if that was a reference? Or not, there's plenty of manga who have them giving oxygen through kissing underwater but it still reminded me of Levy and Gajeel lol

Poor Shirashi, trying help only to be pushed away like that

@Armandoriel He couldn't lose his hat.... it is part of his very being, fused with his own soul... or simply made of his own hair like Jotaro.

WHY IS BOTAROU SO GORGEOUS OMG

Shiraishi ga shinda! (Oh wait he floated up)

Sugi: HALP!
Shiraichi: I got you bro!
Sugi: EWWW! Not you!

Heck yeah! Creepy old looking fishes saves the day!

lmaoo.

can noda stop drawing fucked up feet i dont want to see that!! goodnight

Gotta love how in page 7 Sugimoto makes sure not to lose his hat.

Shiraishi coming down to give Sugimoto mouth to mouth was unexpected yet it is what you can exactly expect from him.

@Oured

It does remind me of the Nevermind cover now that you mention it lmao.

Lmfaoo Shiraishi 😂

Im glad Sugimoto didnt kill Boutarou (or well, let him die). Hopefully they can befriend each other after this?? Boutarou is packed with charm points, It would be a waste to see him go so soon.

If not im still interested in how they are going to get the gold with this new piece of info.

Reminds me of "No capes!"

@Oured
I know he does, that's the main reason we have our glossary/trivia page at the end of every chapter, that's nothing new... and that's why if that was a real reference he would've added way more details into it, like he usually does!
No need to feel attacked and go all defensive about it haha

Not help pull him up but go right for the lips....ow o”

@RyoSaeba "Reading too much into it," sure.
Noda adds constant references and easter eggs of western media on almost every chapter. It was just a guess, not a dissertation on the metaphorical meaning behind it.

Sugimoto would rather drown than have a smoochy-smooch with his homie Shiraishi

That's brutal death for Boutarou's henchman... I'm glad Sugimoto let Boutarou lives.

@Oured No, it's not.
If the author wanted to make a reference to that he would have drawn more details to it, like something floating mid-way (the dollar bill) or simply having Yoshitake be butt-naked and in a similar pose or with a similar face expression... you're just reading too much into it.
It's just Yoshitake with his dumb face being there for the following comic relief scene.
