Great to see another chapter Don!
A few notes though...
"Well, I must admit, there are any number of things
most girls would rather do than go see a gynecologist, but
it IS necessary."
***Not in Japan. Most women don't go unless they're sick
or visit the oby/gyn unless they're pregnant (or can't
seem to get pregnant). Just generally...women don't visit
them.. not for their first menstration, not for checkups
and definitely not for birth control.
Well, what a person should do and what they actually do are very often two
different things. From what I can gather, about the only thing more dreaded
than visiting the gynecologist is visiting a dentist. If you are male and
over forty, you should visit a proctologist, right? Hah! How may of us go
unless we are having trouble at the urinal? Answer: "ZERO".
>From what I've been able to gather, too few women go to a gynecologist here
in the states, as well. Given that I was so strongly chided for not covering
these points in Chapter 13, I decided to cover them in as an amusing way as
I could in this chapter.
speaking of which.. the pill has been LEGAL for the last 4
years in the same form that can be found in most western
countries, not that it means that Japanese women are out
in droves trying to get it. Sure there are condoms here,
but I'd say the usage rate on those is dropping and
"dekichatta kekkon" is on the rise (a shotgun wedding).
Hmm, yes I am aware of that, but this is set back in the late eighties, not
that the time range is obvious.
It was nice to see some more come out about Ranma and
Nabiki...and although I am usually a Ranma/Akane fan, with
this portrayal of Nabiki...I find myself wishing for a
little fling on the side between her and Ranma...
I think I will avoid that in Comes the Cold Dragon. What may happen in
future story though, may well turn out to be another matter entirely.
Great to have another chapter out... can't wait to read
the next one...

Thanks, Jourdan.
