I'm sorry for the spoiler but this little dork's safety shorts, helmet and utter lack of grace just cracks me up so much 😂 A quiet little episode after the climatic bitch slap from last week. Would love to hear everyone's thoughts, I read all of them even if I can't reply to all and they give me so much life 🥂🥂

Sleepover? Will there be steam? Some secret garden?

Pamela Isley

Poppy's gonna almost fall of her scooter but Tora will catch her up ! He will have a minor injury and she will freak out so she will take him to her house to take care of him. In this quiet place, finally alone, they will talk about how much they are in love, and they will ask each other to marry them ! Then they will go make thoses tigamster babies I'm waiting for !

PotatoSquish

This is so cute, Tora must be dying 😂

Bebe

Wow for once the juicy lamb lures the tiger to her den—instead of the other way around! I love it 🥰

Kimi Kimja

What is Bobby grumpy about? Lololol...she is a sweet dork.

Rdpz24

Definitely loved the light heartened-ness of this week's! For sure Poppy on her scooter has to be what Tora was giggling about. Can't wait til we get to see them spend the night together. I bet it will be lots of laughing and giggling like two little kids at a sleepover, up all night.. with some lewd jokes thrown in there.😉🤣

Yvonne padilla

About to read it right now!! Just got off work😭

Jena

I cannot wait for the next episode already!

Olivia Cheney

Y'all I can't even tell you how much it warms yet hurts my heart that our tiger was trying so hard to be all proper 🥺 😭💔💀🥀⚰️ good for poppy coming in clutch reminding him she likes this bad babie cause I can't reach through the screen and give him a hug myself 😟🙌

NyxieGoddessofNight

The fact that you had poppy say Uncle hurt me lol. However that slap, I heard the cracked tooth in my head, I saw the look of pure male pride hurt and the more protective manner side of Tora. I do however would like maybe a make up kiss from the whole ordeal. From poppy being worried to Tora next as well. They both need some quiet sweet time together. My thoughts though

Morgan

Awww his little blush was so cute. He reminded me of his younger self for some reason when he did that🥺💗

Ang P.M.

She reminds me of me in my early 20s. Cute shirt-ish dress with uncoordinated shorts getting all flustered and trying to run away from my crush. Haha!!!

ericastwilight

Hi, I'm new to Patreon and Lilydusks posts. How do I read the updates on here? Or do I need to do it on Webtoons? I don't mind either way, just wondering.

Darla (Tora’s THOT)

I AMMMMM SCREAMINGGGGGGGGG IN THE OFFICE!!!!!!!! HE SAID MAH NAME!!!!!!! HE DID THE SEXY ANIME GLASSES PUSH!!!!!! HE TECHNICALLY GAVE ME MONEY LIKE A TRUE DADDY!!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 IM DEADDDDDDDDDD AND CRYINGGGGGGGG

Hannah_Wills

My god, this poor guy just can’t catch a break with these cars! 😂

ObstinateHeadstrongGirl

Oohweee I can see Tora’s wheels turning in this ep, what is going on in that brain of his? It couldn’t be Julri who messed with the car- who would even dare after getting smacked like that but clearly something is funny. I feel like there’s a ton going on behind the scenes we don’t know about. I await the next ep with baited breath.

Matcha_Cakes

Awww! This episode was cute and heartwarming. I’m really excited for next episode. Poppy is so cute and I love our stoic soft boi. I hope Tora is ok though it looks like he was laughing! There was a comfort to this episode. I know that I may be reaching with the symbolism here but Poppy leaving the light behind with her helmet on to get closer to Tora just makes me think that she’s already prepared to join his world. In any case I loved the episode. It felt easy between them. I hope she makes him more rice balls and he sleeps on the floor in her room (only because that’s how he likes to sleep)

Tabi

Oh my god I blew through the episode so fast I didn’t even notice her bright blue safety shorts 😂😂😂😂 This was serious such a cute episode. I love how he revereted back to his regular speech once she addressed it and apologized for teasing him about it. 😭🥰✨

Yvonne padilla

They are gonna have a sleepover 😍😜 hahaha omg I hope it involves cuddles and maybe smooches 🤣🤣🤣

Brittney Cruz

I haven't read it yet, I like to save it for midnight (my time zone) but that bitch slap from last week gave me CHILLS! Looking forward to tonight's read 😁

Alyse Howard

Poppy is such a dork and I love it 😭

Becks

They are too adorable! His blush was so cute and their reactions to each other are so sweet! I love how he's protective and understanding. It's awesome to see that he is trying to be different and be open with her, as much as he can safely. A little sad he felt like he needed to change and that she said uncle to Julri. Poor Tora was definitely hurt by that a little bit.. At least she said something about him being himselfthough. Hoping for a kiss or two though, after all that they had been through. I just love these two! Can't wait for the next episode!

Vanessa G

That lil blush tora had....🥰

kinkajou

SQUEEAAALLL The shy but meaningful touching, the blushing, the spending the night together alone. Hehehehe I feel this is going somewhere my dudes

Embo

So many adorable moments this episode! The little blushes when she tells him to talk with his cute lil street slang 🥰😍 omg I love them so much. Thanks for making my week, as always, Lily! 💕💜💕💜💕

QueSarahSarah

I look forward to Granny hearing about the tall drink of water that Miss Poppylan brought home with her. We all know she'll approve.

Emma Lou

My heart shattered a little when Poppy pointed out that she didn't care whether Tora used his slang, I saw that blush 🥺 Also the fact that poppy was feeling insecure about Tora and how he knew where she was, remembering that when she'd ask Julri questions she was met with rebuttal. Tora straight up answers the question, albeit with half truth. Although Tora is aware that she's smarter than she lets on, with that lil hamster wheel brain of hers, I genuinely think it was an innocent question from Poppy just wanting to know how Tora found her 💜 I think Tora should ditch the car and ride on the back of the scooter with poppy 😂

💕author eurydice fiori 💕

also, also... they're going to spend the night... ALONE... at Poppy's apartment... CUE THE EXCITED THUGLET NOISES !!!! 😭😫😂📢

Sarah

Loved the episode!! Super cute! I can’t wait for the sleepover ❤️

Han

All my money for a Poppy-Tora scooter ride!

Angelica P

LMAO!! He know what’s coming!! That’s why he is laughing 😂

Nikole

Omg, I hope to see Tora sitting on the back of the scooter with his locks flowing in the air..with a pissed off face 😂💗

Maria E.

I have a feeling he's laughing, because our tiger's about to have to hitch a ride on the back of Bobby's scooter. 😂😂🤣

Christina Agan

I just.....need Tora riding big spoon behind Poppy on her little scooter. Please, Lily. Please let us have this.

romanycreams

Omg safety shorts are such a lifesaver, especially for someone who also has an utter lack of grace🙋‍♀️ and often forgets that she's wearing a dress😂

VintageNerd

This episode was CUTEEEEE awwwww 🐹🥺 when she said “you can talk in your lil slang around me” and he blushed ☺️ and when he wanted to make sure she was safe , and said nah your coming with me, leave that scooter baby girl 😮‍💨🥺 And knowing next episode they’re gonna be together 🥰😏 🐹🐯

Rachel B.

Yea, Julri is a bitch. What guy messes with another guy's car? That's an ass whooping waiting to happen? I also love how Poppy rode up on her scooter like she was ready to help Tora in a fight. 🤣🤣🤣

Christina Agan

Also, I love the tiny lil Tiger blush.....so. Damn. Cute. -EXCITED. THUGLET. NOISES-

SunflowerB

Poppy's safety shorts has me laughing 🤣 I love her so much. She so cute. I see why Tora's so hooked on her. 😆❤ Thank you Lily for these two dumbos. My fav couple 💯

Noshoutouts

So much fluff… I’m in a cloud! And then the paying for the lamp post scene!! And then Tora opening up to his thought process because he understood, and then she knew why he was speaking differently… my heart ❤️ there’s just so much to love about this episode!! Great job!!

Asia Neal-Allen

Can we just acknowledge how sexy Tora looking? Hello sir!! Second, I love how he paid for the lantern. He is just perfect. Now how are they gonna be spending this night??? Thats the real question 🤔

Jess Ridenour

Did I miss what exactly happened to the car?

Reeree

Poppy: “ But why are you talking differently to me, too?” Tora: “Because I’m your UNCLE“ *inserts eye roll here* P.S. Tora is so delicate and cute in this episode tho 🥺

Cassandra Reddick

I just genuinely enjoy how they are with one another. Tora is such a tough little mush until Poppy gives him reassurance to be himself. Side note… they ‘bouta be alone thooo 👀👀👀..

Corrine Gosling

I was on the phone with my husband who is in Tokyo for the Olympics and said “Oh, MPL time. I gotta go!” and this episode did not disappoint. The little head nod, the biker shorts under her dress, them both wanting to pay for the broken lamp post, a possible sleepover…I love the quiet moments as much as the explosive ones. ❤️ So great!

TicklemeAli

We can all agree that she said “i love me some dirty slang talk. Talk dirty to me daddy alllll niiiighttt looonnnggg”…. Agreed???… agreed

Jenny Slusarz

I so hope we get to see Tora riding on the back of Poppy’s scooter!

TicklemeAli

I love that he’s already so in tuned to her that he knows she’s an overthinker. A smart sexy ass overthinking hamster

Emily Basso

I’ve got about as much mental gas right now as Poppy’s scooter l pre-episode drop… but fuck if I’ll miss an update. And this one was perfect 😭❤️ the way they communicate and understand each other makes me so happy I feel all warm and fuzzy inside. They’re so in tune now- both so emotionally intelligent - that they have the ability to guess at the other’s actions (Tora realizing her scooter was the key to finding Poppy) or their thoughts (Poppy’s noticing his speech difference and correctly guessing -AND OWNIG UP TO- her part in his change), and each of them reassuring the other with simple, honest words. They’re still respecting each other’s boundaries (which is REALLY GODDAMN IMPORTANT) while managing to push them just a little (sleepover time 😈 lord help the number of fanfics that will be born from this plot point…😂) and the way they both have the same morals (leaving money for poor Darleen’s lantern) after having such wildly different upbringings HAS ME READY TO SCREAM. They’re made for each other. Doesn’t matter who you were or what life you’ve led before. When you find someone who’s moral system and mindset meshes with yours so perfectly, keep them. They’re made for you 🙌❤️

Julia G

I’m a little worried about Julri now. Not for him but of him. He saw Tora, experienced first hand what Tora is capable of and still had the complete lack of self-preservation needed to mess with Tora’s car. Either he’s a complete idiot, not recognizing the danger Tora is to him if he keeps bothering Poppy or he’s got a death wish and he noticed the danger but doesn’t care, he’ll do what he wants anyway. If he’s willing to get revenge (however small and cowardly messing with the car was rather than facing Tora like a real man) on someone like Tora after that warning shot of a slap, what danger does he pose to Poppy? Him having the balls to do this gives me the impression that he doesn’t see Tora as a threat or he wouldn’t have risked a further beat down (Poppy could easily tell Tora where he lives) and because of that I’m nervous that he’ll come at Poppy again, possibly even try to take his humiliation over the ego blow out on her.

Florence

Now i just need to see Tora's muscle and tattoos in poppy's shower 😋

Lolo

Loved all the interactions with Pop n Tora!! ♡♡ I don't understand why tora is laughing at the end? Is he mad laughing because he is going to kick jurli's butt?

Alex

Okay tora and poppy fangirling aside, Im really excited to see what poppy’s home looks like I bet it’s gonna look so cute and cozy and I’m dying to see her old bedroom! I bet it looks so cute and girlie like her apartment! Sorry, I’m kind of a geek when it comes to layouts of houses and bedrooms and stuff I think you can tell a lot about a persons personality and their tastes based on what they’re home looks like (: ❤️❤️❤️

Hannah Mae Castillo

Thanks for the episode, Lily!! Hope we can see the mafia action again. I miss Vincent 🥺😂

Angela Christian

Omg, Lily, I am convinced that you could dress this man in damn near anything and he would still be a smoldering effing beast. I am so loving this professor (/uncle...*snicker*) vibe. But seriously. Anything. Panda bodysuit? I'd still jump him. Clown suit? Hot af, even with the face makeup (I SAID IT! I'D KISS A CLOWN, but only our boi...). Dress this man as the damn pope and I would take whatever....*ahem* "communion"....he wanted. Truly. Hottest. Character. Ever. 🔥🥵😍🔥 Aside from the deliciousness that just perpetually drips off of Tora, I am IN LOVE with how WHOLESOME of a relationship they're developing!! I'm echoing a lot of comments from Webtoons: the contrast between our boy and her p.o.s. ex is stark. Especially with the flashbacks we're getting of the verbal abuse and emotional manipulation shithead put her through, it is SO heartwarming to see things like, "I'm not leaving you here alone!" and giving her *some* kind of answer, even if it's only a "half-truth" (which, him being a mafia VIP and sweating a half-truth he had to tell Bobby was...just....priceless and adorable 😍). AND, then to have HER reassure him that he can be real with her, all the time, just added another layer of chest-squeezing wholesomeness to this chapter. I cannot WAIT to read more of them both slowly bringing each others' barriers down. 😊❤🔥😍❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥 You spoil us, Lily!!! 🤗

Maria E.

So, three reads in, I don't really have much in the way of deep revelations this time. 😅 Mostly enjoying the cuteness and fluff. But, gah. Those eyes and lashes framed by those... frames. Way to kill me dead. And staring so intently. 😂 Until she looks his way. But awwww. Just wanting to know more about his life. I hope Tiger Boy finally complies with that soon. Let her in just a little more, buddy. And more awwwww. Self conscious mafia man. Way to go, Pops, with that apology. And those matching blushes. ... Does Tora call his car "Red"? 😂 Omg, I love it. Also love his raised eyebrow with the, "As long as I don't mind...?" 🤨😂 And that "Sweetheart." I was waiting for it. It's not proper Tora flirting without him dropping that in somewhere along the way. And awww. His thoughtful self, leaving money whenever he steals or breaks some. I can't figure out what the shots of the streetlight or the back of the car are hinting at... or what exactly f*ck face did to the car. That's what my hamster wheel brain will be spinning over this next week. But 🤣 those shorts. And I think he's realized the irony that he came to protect her, but she's gonna have to rescue him and give his big ol' tiger butt a ride on her li'l baby scooter. I'm not sure I could love this episode more. I just wanna snuggle into it like a cozy blanket. P.S. I can absolutely believe the little dirtbag did something to the car. His narcissistic pride was just stomped into the dirt, and he'll play dirty to get the last word in.

Angela Christian

Also, I have realized that, as a die-hard fan of this comic, i do not use the word "thuglet" NEARLY enough. 😂 gotta put that shit on a sticky note somewhere.... 🤦✔

Katy Bear

Poppy is the most adorable dork to have ever graced my eyes. Also...POPPY AND TORA SPENDING THE NIGHT IN THE SAME HOUSE?! I'm SO READY for this arc!

Mater Portentum

I absolutely loved everything about this episode!!!! But the few panels of Poppy telling Tora it was ok to be himself around her just got me in the feels! ❤️😭❤️ First she says “cute lil street slang”. Who talk to The Tiger of Ares Street like that?! Oh wait, the adorable fearless Poppy! And Tora’s blush and how young and vulnerable he looked, it’s like he has never been given permission to just be himself before. Poor guy! I hope he’s laughing because he knows he’s riding behind poppy on that tiny little scooter 🤣 please let that happen!!! Also, did Tora name his car Red?? Did anyone else catch that or am I crazy? Thank you Lilydusk for the amazing fluffy episode!

Adriana Murillo

Hi Lily! I hope you read this. I think you made a mistake in the numbering of the chapters after 68 here in the Patreon. The fast pass from 69 is missing I think. I just noticed something is off compared to the chapters in Webtoon. Not that this is really important, but I was following the Fast Pass here.

Erin S.

I love how quickly they settle in with each other, putting the other at ease (as much as one can with the sheer amount of sexual tension between them *at * all * times*). Her thought bubble of "he *really* doesn't like to elaborate" cracked me up! But despite a little awkwardness, you can feel them both start to come down from the adrenaline high from the confrontation last week. Meanwhile, Tora's trying to satisfy her hamster curiosity, while keeping his promise never to lie to her (loved the "half truth unlocked"), and after dropping his sleuthing skills about how he found her, the anime glasses push killed me. So adorable! Have we figured out yet if the glasses are legit, or no Rx and just for show? I'm loving professor/ librarian Tora regardless. I can't wait for Granny to applaud Poppy's arm candy upgrade 😜 I thought at first Tora had placed something on the rental car, but then it sounded like Julri, being the trash baby he is, banged up the car a bit before running on home? Can't have been too much damage, but possibly enough for Tora to need to leave the car at Darleen's for some quick repairs? You know she'll take care of him real quick 😉 but I think he's laughing because either he realizes he's going to need to hitch a ride on Poppy's scooter with her, or he's laughing at Julri's attempt at "getting back at Tora" for the slap heard round the world! I'm dying see them at Poppy's Moonbright home! I was hoping for "there's only one bed" but we know Tora doesn't sleep in beds anyway. I loved Matcha_Cakes & Alexa's suggestions of him sleeping on the floor next to her bed holding hands 💗💗💗 I needs it!!!

Melissa

This story just gives me life and I replay the slap so many times. Makes me giggle every time. Don’t you gaslight poppy and think you can get away with it.

Shaleice Bartholomew

I love how you can tell how intense Tora’s feeling are for Poppy through out the comic. Poppy has a crush on him and likes him and is progressing in her feelings, but Tora is completely smitten. It’s a cute dynamic, but someday I want her to want him as badly as he wants her ❤️

Kayla O

I’ve been team safety shorts since like, 16 😂 I work with kids and also have beautiful thick thighs so they prevent chafing too. Rock em Pops ❣️😂

Neumorin

What y'all wanna bet julri is in some small town gang or in it with gil and tried to put a tracker on toras car lol Edit: reason im.thinking that is because i didnt see any damage on the car and it looked like he was looking for something on it tbh. He probably was laughing at how amateur any attempt at tracking him is lol

Christina Agan

I love that the two of them are communicating more. I love that Poppy is telling Tora to just be himself, and don’t change the way he’s talking with her. I think.....at least a little bit, anyway, she also means to be honest with her. As much as he can be. I also love that Tora left money for Darleen’s lantern pagoda. He seems to do this a lot. What with “borrowing” that car and such. And paying off Alice’s gambling debts.....just a interesting side to Tora. Thank you again, Lily, for a excellent episode. You and your team amaze me again. I always enjoy these scenes set at night. The color choices are so beautiful and slightly ethereal.

Rosie

I don’t actually think Julri did anything to the car. One, he seems like a spineless bitch, so I don’t think he’d mess with Tora’s car after that beautiful backhand. But two, why would suspicion of that lead Tora to checking out the car first? He was definitely looking for or checking the car for something, and he clearly didn’t want Poppy to see. I don’t know, don’t listen to me, my brain has melted in this heat! 😂

Sarah Hernandez

Poppy having watery eyes after seeing Tora🥺. The fact Tora tried so hard to be someone else but Poppy likes him the way he is (and so do I)🥺😭❤️. Th-they gonna have a sleepover 👀👀👀

emilyjean

Any possible analysis has been clouded by the delicious fluff in this episode 💖😭 Poppy’s gentle hand touch and reassurance that she likes him as is! Tora’s blush! My thought process is further all jumbled at the realization that THEY ARE SPENDING THE NIGHT TOGETHER. THIS. IS. NOT. A. DRILL. and sweet Gyu I have not forgotten about you! Please make it through this night 🙏

Moonhair

On a side note: I've never noticed how long the episodes were before, till I ended up in the mountains with low reception and barely any internet. It took 13 minutes for this episode to load and I only checked its status 94 times! Totally worth it though😊

Olivia Cheney

CAN I ALSO JUST SAY HOW AMAZING THE PACING OF THIS STORY IS?! We have our points of high tension like in the last three or four chapters and then these breaks of rest and recuperation that Lily gives us filled with fluff that allow us to step back and really analyze what's happened and think about the future. The structure of this story is ✨flawless✨ All hail queen Lily 😌🙏🏻

Paulune

@larosamorada, to me, it's time to get into the starting blocks ! My debauchery brain is only 💧 and you're the only one who can bring me (or not 😅) to concrete elements ! Keep my brain focused on something else than the sleepover !!! Just kidding ... there's so much more in this episode 🥰

Purpledahlia9

I almost woke up the house with my laughter when I seen her last night pull up with the safety shorts (I wait till everyone is asleep so I get no interruptions!) I'm like girl rock em'! There were several moments where It took my my breath away. When we get the view of Poppy when Tora first walked up. Her tears got me so much! Then his little blushes he looked so young and innocent. Amazing work! I gotta a feeling whatever that happened to the car will just be a mild inconvenience such as air out or slashed tire. And Tora is going deep making sure there no bugs or bombs are planted or major problems with gas tire lines 🤔🤷‍♀️ and he's just laughing cause he's like "that's the best this lil fuck face had!" And he knoooows he's a bout to have to get on the scooter 🛵 I can't wait till next week to see their banter!

Fe

The way I was on a date trying to sneak-read MPL 😅. When Tora and Poppy blushed 🥰…my date got a hug out of nowhere 😂😂😂. I can’t wait to see 1) how they get to Poppy’s place (scooter ride for 2? Slow ride in the car? ) 2) what Julri did to the car 3) if there will be some bawchica wa wa in this arc 😂. I just like seeing them talk to each other honestly, but horny-ly, I’d like to see Tora and Pops kiiiith…and sthuff 😆

Lil fox

I actually binge read this full webtoon to catch up in a night and I've been telling my partner about it as I love it! Usually the thing I've found with these kinda stories is the mafia guy always always tries to play this "bad guy" character and is usually a d*ck but I love how poppy and Tora relationship is playing out Every chapter entices me and I can't wait to see what more comes from them! And the fact that he tried to dress and act differently cause of poppy mocking him is just the cutest even cuter poppy realising it! Keep it up lily honestly you're doing such an amazing job 😊

Loddy Doddy

I love how boyish and soft Tora's expressions are when he's with Poppy. So much so that at times he almost looks like a different person. He feels comfortable enough to lower his guard a bit and be a little vulnerable. If that isn't love then I don't know what is.

DAyLa J

What if nothing wrong with the car but Tora just realized he locked the keys in the car. 🤣🤣 so he could do nothing but laugh at himself. Here he was trying to be her knight and shining armor and now he need saving with a ride on her little scooter. Which I feel like poppy not gonna be able to balance them both so Tora going to take over because he refuse to die wobbling all over the place. 😂😂

Lauren

Guys our dreams are coming true…. Shared bed trope?!? 😏 Also the gas station interaction was just so cute 😭 I love that she told him to please be himself. Also I think part of the way these two comfort each other is through touch. Over the past few episodes you can see them starting to get really comfortable with touching each other as a way of communication. Anyway… I would not be opposed to seeing a shirtless and sleepy Tora in the next episode 🥴

Tarra Solo

I love how they communicate so well. It’s not perfectly spoken words. They stutter, but they (usually) get out what they intended.

JaxStarGazer

I feel like we’ve been super blessed going straight into this episode with Tora’s intense gaze watching Poppy at the gas station. The art work alone was incredible. But this episode was really giving off waves of lightness and ease. A welcome respite from the intensity of the last few. And seeing his amazing eyes with those hot as hell glasses was...*sigh* dreamy! Ok, minds descended to the gutter sorry everyone! But I can never get enough of Tora standing there with arms crossed like that. My legs would give out if I was standing! How does Poppy keep herself so grounded? Bloody Wonder Woman. I love the expression on her face as she asked him how he found her. And found it very telling that he turned away as he answered her. We know he doesn’t lie, but half truths...and then she thinks about maybe his mafia life is what stops him from going into detail. When really the less he says the less he has to tell half truths. But the fact she’s acknowledging his life in the mafia at all, trying to see things from his perspective has me doing such a happy dance! She’s not skirting from those thoughts and I’m so pleased about that! My heart went ba-dump so hard when she thought about wanting to know more about his life!! She’s building that trust and friendship with him, reaching out for connections, and I’m just buzzing about all of that! Gah, so frustration that the little fucker Julri’s past manipulation of Poppy has had her second guessing herself with Tora. And I was riveted to his face as he watched her. He’s very perceptive, I’m sure he’s read her expression and is reaching that hand of trust right back, giving her an answer she’s within her rights to ask for, even if it was a half truth. It’s a pretty clever tale and absolutely believable! From Poppy’s perspective that’s fucking clever. But I secretly - or not so secretly - hope that at some point she does find out the truth. That he did essentially just drive around looking for her. But I sense some hesitation with Tora during this whole scene. And I couldn’t put my finger on what it was, until...she apologised for teasing him about the way he spoke. As soon as that was cleared it was like a weight was lifted! The way he spoke up until then felt deliberate and very unlike him, aside from the ya’s etc missing. Such is power of this comic, it really evokes exactly what the character is feeling! But I’ll come back to that part in a second. Now I’m fascinated that he was surprised that she didn’t probe more. The Facebook groups are amazing for seeing so many different theories and perspectives of the episode. And one person pointed out how she worried she was pushing for information and he that she wasn’t pushing more. It shows they still have a ways to go to be completely comfortable with each other, so much left to learn about one another, but considering the short time they have known each other and I am floating with the easiness between them here! Why am I absolutely HOWLING at him asking her to not point the nozzle at him like that? It was 2am the first time I read this and I had to bury my head in my pillow so I didn’t wake my husband from shaking with how hard that made me laugh! Anyone else find that as funny as me? Moving on, and I have just stared at the way Poppy has laid a hand on his arm for so long, willing Tora to take his out of his pocket and hold her hand, my eyes are crossing. That touch was so beautiful, so profound and I’m still just staring at it while I write this, fascinated by any and all touches between them. The look of deer in the headlights he was giving her when she said sorry, that fucking blush...Tora you’re killing me!! And Poppy’s blush too! How often has he been ogled by people in fear and lust. And here’s this sweet little hamster looking him in the eye, apologising and telling him she wants him how he comes around her. Giving him validation that honestly could’ve made me cry! These two are going to cripple me. Oh em gee, Pops...did I just see the only hesitation in you offering a place to stay for Tora, being that the house is a bit run down? Did I see ZERO negative reaction to him saying he was sticking around? Not asserting that independent gal mood and accepting that you want him to stay? Because I am GRINNING at that development! She didn’t fight him, she just took it as it was and I’m pumped!!! Ugh, that whole scene was amazing! Her blush, his quip about his apartment, the look on his face!! Perfection. I’ve retreated back to the hyper fan girl I am, the giddiness is unreal. And another touch!! I feel like he’s been desperate to touch her in some way. The focus on that grab, ugh, I’m losing it again. Shit, sorry! What did Tora see that made him go check the car without her? Side note - I’m so happy he’s slipped back into his slang again. But I’m curious, is the car really hired or is it ‘borrowed’ again like Aniki’s? I ask, because why the emphasis on the number plate staying in place? Questions...*places tin foil hat on tighter* Another thing pointed on the Facebook posts (I’m sorry I can’t tag the actual person, I lost it in the jumble of my Facebook refreshing) but they pointed out the back tire seeming to be off the ground slightly, so maybe one of the tires was fucked with? I mean, again, the AUDACITY of that little fucker tampering with the car! I thought that bitch slap of the century was going to be enough to get him out of Poppy’s life for good. But having read Larosamorada saying in her analysis previously (PLEASE read them and have them transport you to a whole other realm of magic to go with this comic!) that he’d be back, I have a baaaad feeling. Eep! Ok, so not only did Poppy NOT want to call Tora out on destroying property, but she was going to pay for what he did herself to not have to make him uncomfortable. I mean...that’s both amazing that she realised that in the moment he needed some kind of release, and a smidge, how long will you deny the bigger picture? I’m here for both! Because they have to learn and grow together and separately and we’re only just setting out on this journey. But it came as no surprise he already left money for it. We’ve seen that with Aniki’s car before. But I’m glad she got to see he paid for his mistakes like that. Poppy wearing safety shorts, looking so non-graceful on that scooter...I can’t!! That’s hilarious, and so, so, Poppy!! Haha! Yes Tora, why is it so funny? Is it because you’re going to be getting a lift to her place on the back of that tiny scooter? Who’s driving? 😏 I’ll take this mini cliffhanger Ms Lily because it left such a warm fussy feeling seeing him lose his shit with laughter over that little fuck face! The whole episode was fantastic, and as always, left me wanting more! Bring on the house sharing for the night. I’m ready! *Edit to add* One last thing...that little shove of the glasses up his nose was freaking adorable!! And he calls his car, Red? Stop my heart, I can’t take his cuteness!!

That bitch slap was everything for me. The way Tora tried to hold back and not kill him on the a lot. He is very thoughtful of Poppy. And I love how they say so much even when don't say everything. How concern they are about each other. And this Tora outfit is driving me insane. He looks so Ugh! And proper, sexy sleek, perfect. But. I love how Poppy is so down-to-earth, relax, simple and complex at the same time. And also how Tora appreciates her simplicity. Like is so perfect. They complement each other so good. And Poppy is so gorgeous without effort. And that corkiness just get Tora's best.

🧐🧐Not me just realizing that Poppy probably has childhood pictures at home 🤔 and if that really was Tora comforting Poppy in the background of that photo in episode 10 then we really might get Strawberry Girl confirmed 😳😳😳😳😳😳

This is the PERFECT setup for taking their relationship to the next level! 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Clarifying: Did Tora leave the money under the lantern?

Hey y'all! Just gonna dump a few thoughts/theories here: 1) I think this is gonna be one of those episodes that may seem like not much is going on now but when we look back on it later, we'll realize that a dozen threads started here 🤯 2) My theories on how Tora knew where Poppy was: A) He's just smart -- very possible; B) He's tracking her somehow -- unlikely because he would have found her earlier; C) he has thuglets in the area that were looking around and tipped him off. --also unlikely because he came in a hurry to Moonbright. Unless his thuglets are very quick to respond, which is possible; D) He's tight with Darleen who tipped him off -- likely? 😉😎 3) Tora only has tells around Poppy? 😏 I dunno if anyone else has noticed but Tora usually has a steel poker face. Now he's avoiding eye contact, got a sweat tear and is shoving his glasses on his nose after telling poppy a half truth. Poppy has gotten under his thick, thick skin !!!! I love it 😍 4) That noozle part - @selinapedia pointed out that Tora might have thought the noozle looked like a gun. Maybe this moment contrasts how violence is at the top of Tora's mind but not such Poppy's. Curious 🤔🤔🤔 it's also a reminder to us that Poppy is in danger and no matter how cute and gober they are, someone is after our queen 🥺 5) Safety shorts. Am I the only weird-o that has almost always worn safety shorts under flowy dresses? Wind. Its ALWAYS windy when my safety shorts are the wash. And you never know when you're gonna need to straddle a scooter! Poppy, the practical woman that she is ❤🙏 The shorts are not so handy when you're trying to straddle someONE but hey there are always ways around that. 😏 (my ADHD brain is all over the place this morning....) 6) SO CuTe ❤❤❤❤❤ - no much to elaborate for this one 😅 7) Moldy guest room 😂 - this made me laugh because its a call back to the episode in Poppy's apartment when she says she knows "the mold life". And there's dramatic irony too: poppy, if only you knew the Tora has slept in far worse places (I.e. caged gutters or some horrible dungeon 🥺🥺🥺). Being in a moldy house near you is probably one of the best places rn. 8) Poppy and her selfless wallet - did I read that panel right? She doesnt have to "pay for lodging"? Is that because she would have paid a hotel instead of sleeping in her home? Or was she going to pay for Tora to go somewhere if he didnt want to stay with the mold? 🤔🤔🤔 not sure what to make of this. Maybe I've missed something... but I wouldn't be surprised if she would have spent her last dollars to make someone else feel comfortable. Lady, you are too kind sometimes 😭 9) The car - *straightens tin foil hat* my theory is that whoever is after Poppy did something to the car. Whatever is wrong with the car seems to be subtle because we dont see anything visibly wrong. And it's someone that Tora seems to know by the way he spoke.... or maybe it's someone playing a joke on him 😳.... 🤔🤔🤔 Thank you as always for the lovely episode!!! Looking forward to next week 😍

Omg the first two panels this week had me giggling! “Gah, it’s stuck” and then the knowing close up of Tora’s eyes. 🙈🙊Hehehe My friends and I always joke about how this is how all pornos start…. “Oh no! I’m stuck!” I’m willing to bet my paycheck this is exactly what was on Tora’s mind! 😆 💀

I have to say, the slow burn of this relationship is intensely gratifying. I love how they're actually becoming close, and caring about each other as a person and not just "meat", although obviously that's a big part of it. There are layers, and complications, and tension, and hope, and playfulness. This is one of my favorite stories!

Uh-oh….☺️ Tora found Poppy. LOL! I can not express how happy it makes me that Tora genuinely cares for Poppy to make sure she is safe. When this realization drops for the both of them…….? Holy cow! Don’t get in their way 😁

I own a Vespa (my 3rd!) and yes, I wear something under my skirts. NO ONE needs to see that much of me, EVER. and I wear my helmet ALWAYS, the sound of the wind is way to noisy. as for the car, personally, I think Julri WOULD have messed with it somehow. he seems the type to do something like that to get back for embarrassing him. especially since Poppy has moved on and up. she has a man now interested in her instead of a spoiled boy-child. and the boy-child doesn't like losing, even when HE tossed his "toy" away. I am truly enjoying the creation of their relationship. they're laying a foundation that will last. now is her family in the witness protection or was a parent in the mafia and hiding out? why did her granny use her maiden name instead of her married name? curious and curiouser...

I honestly cant wait for tora’s haircut! Please oh please do the haircut

1. I realized Tora was talking without his Ares St. accent, so I'm glad that was addressed 2. What did Dick Wessel do to the car?? 3. Also, can we go back to what Poppy would actually classify Tora as; if it not friend, Co worker or Uncle 🙄 where or where does that put him ☺ 4. LOVED the proud nerdy pushing up of the glasses after Poppy complimented his locating skills 5. Is it weird that I can't wait to re-read this chapter...?

I've already found. Got webtoon app and saw them there :D Tx u
