Tammy: Oh I know! True Love's Kiss! It's gotta work, right?!
Keith: Only in fairytales...
Hibi-Hibi: Soooo, there's this really nice girl that's a... gourmet of sorts.
Keith: That's not my type at all.
So, I guess in this comic “True Love’s Kiss” is a real thing.
I mean, they’re taking about it in front of a diwata/fairy/elf and a goddess.
Sooo… I know I’m late to this… And maby this is super obvious an somone has said it before, but is hibi-hibi’s name a reference to chibi-chibi from sailor moon?
Short story: no, long story:
Firstly, “hibi” means “cry” in one of the dialects here. Hibi-Hibi had more sad/droopy eyes in the older version. I don’t speak said dialect though; I learned about the word from a locally famous 300 parody.
Like with Japanese, words or names are often repeated in my local language, so Hibi-Hibi.
I learned that the flowers I often see near my school are called “hibiscus” in English. They’re called “gumamela” in Filipino.
I didn’t really watch Sailor Moon though, so to actually answer your question, no.
Keith understands that falling in and out of love is a big deal…
Like Filipinos keep say over here, “walang forever” (there’s no forever) in love. 😄
So, they need Keith to seduce the dragon then? More literal in this case.
Huh, so nice girls with higher standards in taste is not his type, what is?
It’s just an idea at least.
The gourmet part is referring to her eating the moon.

Oh yeah I got that. I should have emphasis the HIGHER part.
I’m slightly confused. What does Hibi mean by “gourmet”? Does she mean that the “gourmet” is extremely high-class? If so, I’m with Keith. I can’t stand snobs.
She’s referring to Bakunawa eating the moon…
That seems more buffet than gourmet.
That seems more buffet than gourmet.
We only have one moon so… unless other moons are to her taste I guess.
(Insert Star Wars reference here.)
The moon though; it’s so big! One would need quite the mouth to swallow it; let alone quite the appetite!
