NEK: A maid must always have her master’s best interests at heart. That being said…that may not be wise given the person Julie’s dealing with 😛

I already can’t follow the storyline
08/24/2016 at 2:26pm
Sigh oh sugar bits oh what a wonderfully confusing web comic you are(Shakespeare like voice)
08/21/2016 at 1:44pm
so, to break away from all the negativity here, il be making a guess for next page:
chesna’s either gonna throw the cake away or push it on gene’s face. things are too tense for her to be taking it just because she’s hungry, not to mention the fact that gene was already eating as opposed to just leaving it on his plate(most scenes where a character takes someone else’s food only happen if said someone hasnt taken a bite yet).
08/21/2016 at 8:45pm
Is there one single character here who is likeable enough for people to root for? The characters all seem so bitter and petty that it’s almost Tarantino-esque. Except Tarantino movies are often classics. I don’t think SB is regarded as the same.
08/22/2016 at 12:56am
Gene and Julie.
08/22/2016 at 5:07am
A pity Julie isn’t the protagonist and gene apparently has a very dark secret.
08/22/2016 at 5:32am
Julie being the protagonist wouldn’t matter much in order for me to root for her. She’s kind of nice to me as she is anyway.
A dark secret wouldn’t keep me from rooting for Gene.
It’s all good.
08/22/2016 at 7:18am
Gene’s the ruler of Dystopius. The guy’s probably full of shit we don’t know about.
08/22/2016 at 7:37am
I dont really see how my post had anything to do with rooting for… did you perhaps reply to the wrong comment as I see the ones above me talking about characters people like/care.
as for that topic, there’s probably gonna be a couple more characters showing up, the ones in that image where chesna was talking about the proposed group and we saw some of their designs. for now, no one is really “rootable” until we see more of those characters, as chesna herself might just be the bad apple while the rest are good.
in the grander scheme of things though, im predicting SB is gonna go with the story of ginger/lico sabotaging the group, who may or not be as disillusioned and selfish as chesna. in that kind of story, there’s not really a need to root for one side, or rather, both sides could be seen as being just as bad, assuming this SB comic is gonna be doing a villain protagonist.
08/21/2016 at 9:52am
As intriguing as Ginger/Lico’s little split-personality disorder is, Gene is the only character in this comic that I’m really enjoying right now.
08/21/2016 at 10:00am
Same.
08/27/2016 at 12:34pm
So far, Gene’s the only character in this prequel comic thing that I kinda give a crap about. Dude’s surrounded by either timid or “bitchy” little girls, but doesn’t think twice about it. I want his attitude right now.
08/21/2016 at 8:39am
And all three of these idiots are so engrossed in their meaningless squabble that they haven’t noticed that Ginger has been missing for what seems to be an entire financial year.
Gene so surrounded by moody wenches he probably dismissive. “Bitches amirite?”
08/21/2016 at 8:40am
And then he goes and apparently has a hand in the slaughter of Robin’s family. Our tritagonist everybody! *hearty claps*
08/21/2016 at 8:44am
WAIT ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?
Wow, WOW.
Now their interactions in the original SB seems even stupider than, she’s like. “YOU” and then he replies “Uh, do we know eachother?” And then they team up and it’s never addressed again.
If this is true then just, what in the fuck? You could argue that Robin has no interest in revenge but you’d figure she’d atleast say something else about it beyond “YOU!”
08/22/2016 at 7:47am
dont forget that the writer was dying/dead by the time that was happening. had no time to develop or work on that angle.
also its not that unbelievable, gene IS the ruler of this kind of world. it wouldnt be that strange for him to have done that kind of stuff before ginger influenced him.
08/21/2016 at 8:54am
Hahah, really? When the hell was this?
08/20/2016 at 9:21pm
Bleedman really has no shame in toying around with other people’s characters, does he? From now on I’ll support people plagiarizing his art, because honestly, he’s been shitbagging around with Julie for far too long by now.
08/20/2016 at 9:23pm
I mean, she’s just becoming another one of his stereotypical ‘females’ in this comic. Because let’s be honest: either Bleed’s girls are bitches, or they’re meek little submissive sheep. Luckily BeeAre can still keep him under control in PPGD, but his other comics are becoming damn sexist towards women. Clear sign he’ll never see a tit in real life.
08/20/2016 at 9:43pm
I actually remember being told years ago that Bleed had some sort of psychological resentment to grown women (which is why outside of PPGD they’re either bitches or dead) and identifies more with little girls.
Yeah it’s as weird as it sounds.
08/21/2016 at 12:18am
Everyone’s got their problems that can reflect into the art they create, no doubt.
08/21/2016 at 12:54am
Still sort of negatively affecting his characterization.
08/21/2016 at 1:12am
Not saying it’s not. I’m saying that problems of an artist can reflect in their art.
Sadly, Bleedman having a psychological problem toward women could be irreversible and this is the way he copes.
08/21/2016 at 5:47am
That’s a sublimation for you. Still better than letting the tension destroy person and make him/her do something bad. Too bad we’re also affected by that sublimation. But it’s not like we’re paying for his comix, so guess we’re even (yes, I know that it’s an old and flawed argument, but still). But we still can complain about it freely. Hooray for the freedom of speech! ^_^
08/21/2016 at 12:44am
Wouldn’t doubt it tbh.
08/21/2016 at 5:40am
“[nickname] wants to be a 14 years old Japanese schoolgirl” (scanlators team’s credits in one yuri manga).
08/21/2016 at 1:02pm
He probably got slapped by his momma one too many times.
08/22/2016 at 10:01am
Actually what I heard was that there are a lot of grown women in his family and they must have bossy personalities or something cos he’s quite intimidated by them. Doesn’t like family get-togethers IIRC. It’s probably who he based adult Mandy on.
So I guess he identifies with younger ones cos they are happier and don’t pass judgments etc. I dunno.
08/22/2016 at 2:40pm
What are you so bitter about?
08/22/2016 at 2:41pm
Pear?
08/23/2016 at 7:55pm
Just like Grids I’m bitter about the dropping quality of Bleed’s comics. They used to have so much potential, but it seems Bleed and NEK are intent on flushing them down the toilet. As for this discussion particularly, I was complaining about how a lot of Bleed’s female characters are stereotypical little bitches who have very little which makes them likeable enough to relate to them as a reader.
08/20/2016 at 7:18am
Oh no she stole cake!
Such compelling drama
08/20/2016 at 7:22am
Almost as dramatic as her hairline.
08/20/2016 at 7:39am
Yeah what the fuck is with Chesna’s hair? Tbh her hairline makes her head look bigger than the other characters.
08/20/2016 at 7:43am
Bleedman has been drawing that way with his girls when they have pushed back hair. It happens to Mimi, Bell, and Samantha as well.
08/20/2016 at 12:12pm
In truth they’re all just men with hair extensions. It’s how you explain the total lack of boobs.
08/20/2016 at 12:27pm
And you love those men with hair extensions and total lack of boobs so much. ‘Tis a blessing and a curse to have a fetish.
08/20/2016 at 2:14pm
SB – Secretly Boys!
08/20/2016 at 4:24pm
Yeah I just realized that, we’re led to believe Gene and Chesna are old enough to be engaged let alone married and she looks like as much of a little girl as the rest of them.
Gene is secretly a pedophile.
08/20/2016 at 5:43pm
Seeing as both Gene, Chesna, and Ginger were all seen as kids that appear roughly around the same age, I doubt that joke-claim. People being arranged to be engaged within royalty at that age was common anyway.
08/21/2016 at 8:42am
Well this is bizzare, how far ahead does the original SB take place then? If Melancholy is assumed to be a prequel as it’s quite heavily implied by now then how come in several pages gene looks like an adult yet Ginger looks exactly the same?
Something doesn’t seem right here.
08/21/2016 at 9:00am
Most likely Bleedman’s slightly continuous changing art style. Changing Gene from an adult-like devil to this shota-like devil. However, he’s not human so he could age differently.
08/23/2016 at 12:13pm
Maybe we could get a clue by counting how many spirals there are to Gene’s horns? One spiral = one year, right? (Or am I thinking of deer and antlers?)
08/21/2016 at 5:34am
Be a bad girl – eat strawberry from friend’s cake! (c) K-On!
08/20/2016 at 6:34am
Is it just me or are alot of girls in SB bitchy? I dunno I feel like bleed’s fetish for bitchy girls is having an effect on the characters. And now the previously shown to be shy and meek (Besides in joke pages) Julie seems to be falling victim to the bitch syndrome.
Sorry just noticing this trend with a large number of females in his comics.
Heck is it just me or are all the girls except in PPGD pretty similar personality wise? I just can’t place my finger on it, it’s quite bizarre but I have a clear idea why.
08/20/2016 at 6:34am
For the record i’m referring to all comics bleed is involved with. Not snafu as a whole.
08/20/2016 at 7:22am
I would say she’s shy and meek in front of Gene because she is most likely infatuated with him and wants an obedient impression at all times to present herself as a good maid; however, in her real personality she is also protective (and possibly possessive in the future?) over Gene, wanting to make sure he’s happy. I wouldn’t call her having a bitch-like attitude because she doesn’t want more stress to be on Gene.
But yes, Bleedman loooooves ‘bitchy’ female characters. He’s stated it before somewhere, can’t remember where, but I know for sure he likes the rude gals. It’s what he likes so he tries to implement it as much as possible.
08/20/2016 at 7:38am
Still kinda wish he wouldn’t make a large number of girls that way. It’s kind of boring. But I guess I COULD see that happening so I guess it makes sense.
08/20/2016 at 7:45am
I agree. It gets old. I liked with with Minnie because I wanted her to crack and this is the best thing I’ll probably get. However, seeing it with every other girl is tiresome.
08/20/2016 at 7:55am
I’m going to predict this right now then because I actually figured that was the case for awhile now.
Julie is in love with Gene but being his maid she has to maintain professionalism and can’t admit her feelings because of it. But as Chesna keeps pushing and pushing Julie will find it harder to maintain this and will probably eventually snap and do something rash.
That’s all I got, what it will be and when it will be I don’t know. Whether it be something physical or merely speaking rudely to Chesna something will probably happen.
08/20/2016 at 8:42am
It turns out that she’s a yandere and she’s actually a super-duper-important part of the plot. Her infatuation and respect for Gene becomes an obsession because of the stress that she sees he’s going through everyday. In order to try and fix everything she makes a delusion that the only way is to destroy the Bridge of Light project, that’ll probably be inevitably created, and teams up with the Evil-Dude-Squad to kill all of the Queen’s/Princess’s currently ruling each area.
Turns out, the Bridge of Light project is the actual bad guys and Chesna’s kingdom has betrayed her into thinking that the BoL project was for good when in actuality the kingdom has just been using her to promote the project toward Gene all this time.
Kingdom of Love goes on an all out war with the other Kingdoms, using the power gained from Dystopia and Evil-Dude-Squad (who have been working for the Kingdom of Love this whole time) they have enough force to take down the majority of the Courage Campus.
BreadBoi and Split-Personality-Gal must discover the secrets that Lady Hope had been hiding from everyone in order to stop the tyranny that is of Love Kingdom.
08/20/2016 at 12:40pm
Gene is a submissive man. It’s natural that he would attract and select for strong women. This guy likes to be tied up and paddled.
08/20/2016 at 12:43pm
same goes for grim, grim jr, and dexter. Bleed probably IDs with being a sub guy.
08/20/2016 at 5:02am
So Lady Hope was the one who first started the project. People can have good intentions on a project and have a horrible outcome. Look at Legend of Korra, both the show itself and the villains in the show were trying to do something great. It turned out to be a disaster.
