comic, jotaro & kakyoin & polnareff, yamato nadeshiko

* "pretending to be" -- the original phrase here is "yamato nadeshiko burikko," where burikko is a common slang term referring to a girl who'll act very feminine and cute in front of guys to get their attention.

** "yamato nadeshiko" is the ideal japanese woman; someone quiet, shy, feminine and well-mannered, kind of casually refering to a "rare specimen"

P: oh look, it's another stray cat. there's a lot of of them around here.
P: i heard islamic countries have lots of cats around, but there really are a lot of'em.
P: speaking of cats, you know how everyone in the world is usually a dog person or a cat person. jotaro, which one are you?
J: don't be dumb, they're both cute.
J: kakyoin, what about you.
K: i guess i agree with jotaro.

P: you liar! whenever jotaro's around you aaaalways pretend to be* a yamato nadeshiko** type! i bet you don't even actually like animals!
K: p -- pretending to be a yamato nadeshiko?!
K: what're you talking about, don't say something so easily misunderstood!
J: isn't that fine? i like yamato nadeshikos.
P: so he says!
P: good for you, you pretender!
K: i'm telling you i'm not pretending!

K: believe me, jotaro, i'm really not pretending to be anything in front of you anything.
[ smirk ]
J: aah, i got it, kakyoin. you're just a yamato nadeshiko.
K: jotaro ;;;
P: so, which is it really?
K: well ... i do think they're both cute, but if you asked me if i'd want to take care of one or the other, not so much ...

J: i wouldn't really wanna take care of them, either. i don't like having to pamper things.
J: i'd prefer something like fish.
K: fish do sound nice. something like an aquarium makes for an attractive interior decoration, too.
K: ... it's not like i was pretending to be anything just now, either!
P: yeah yeah, yamato nadeshiko, yamato nadeshiko.
K: POLNAREFF!
J: pffft
