If you just copy everything as it is, that’s plagiarism. However, homage is different. For example, referencing character placement, character design, paneling, and composition from various works is a shortcut to improvement!

1: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx22

Just saying it won’t violate any laws…

2: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx21

I understand what you’re trying to say, but I don’t understand that example at all.

6: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>2

I think it’s a story that says, “Perhaps the expressions and their directions are exactly the same (a homage) above and below, but it shouldn’t bother you, right?”

33: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>6

Don’t try to interpret the gag seriously.

51: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>2

Are you saying that you want to equate Lara and Roboco entirely, rather than just reference them?

52: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>51

I like that it feels like a response from Roboco.

3: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx24

It has eyes and a mouth and is humanoid, so it’s a homage!

4: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx14

There’s no commonality, right?

5: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Both are sexy, right?

7: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is the knee nap a rip-off or a homage?

8: Japan Otaku Reviews

At least make it a robot character!

9: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx26

There are certainly works that are more based on something than To LOVE-Ru, right?

48: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>9

(Is it Ao no Hako…?)

10: Japan Otaku Reviews

Shocking fact

11: Japan Otaku Reviews

There are many upskirt shots, so it’s a homage.

12: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx20

To LOVE-Ru is certainly in the lineage of Doraemon, huh…

20: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

>>12

Doraemon

↙︎ ↘︎

To LOVE-Ru Roboko

Therefore, it is.

ToLOVEru → Roboko

I feel like it’s different…!

13: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx8

If it doesn’t look like plagiarism, then that’s a good example.

29: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>13

The one that Honoo-kun was talking about.

14: Japan Otaku Reviews

An erotic beautiful girl appears before a gloomy boy!

15: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think the love-struck dragon that comes over Lala is a fairly clear homage.

16: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t that Chinatsu Shikano?

53: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>16

That’s a copy of Roboco that came later…

56: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>53

This guy is really becoming quite a senior among the serialized works, which is really troublesome.

58: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>56

The protagonists of the new series seem like they would get angry if they don’t come to greet me with sweets.

59: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>58

It seems like someone has said, “Isn’t this a copy of Roboco?” about five times.

17: Japan Otaku Reviews

The only similarity I can find is the shape of the mouth.

18: Japan Otaku Reviews

Witch Watch is also part of this lineage…

19: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you turn Doraemon into a lecherous alien, it would definitely become To Love-Ru…

21: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems quite difficult to rely to some extent on the receiving side, no matter what.

Even if the person says it’s an homage…

22: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even though it’s the same material as Doraemon, the seasoning is too different.

23: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you can also draw cute girls, then make it the main focus…

24: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>23

There is such a multiverse, but…

25: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Is To LOVE-Ru part of the Doraemon lineage?!

30: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>25

“If we take a broad meaning like ‘one day suddenly having to coexist with an extraordinary existence,’ then it’s Doraemon.”

26: Japan Otaku Reviews

If I said I drew the bottom by referencing the top, wouldn’t you think, “What are you talking about?”

27: Japan Otaku Reviews

Roboco ≒ Nico

31: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

There are also mysterious items!

32: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s all about Shizuka-chan.

34: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s a comedy that happens with a mysterious tool, so it’s part of the Doraemon lineage.

35: Japan Otaku Reviews

Saying this to Yabuki takes quite a bit of courage.

36: Japan Otaku Reviews

Well, it’s part of the same Hitotsubashi group, so I guess it’s fine…

37: Japan Otaku Reviews

Since Muji revolves around something happening with Lara’s tools, I can’t strongly deny that it could be considered part of the Doraemon genre…

38: Japan Otaku Reviews

To call it an homage, the output destination is a bit too cute.

39: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>38

Is Robo-girl…?

40: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you’re going to use that analogy, then use the example of when you were slim.

41: Japan Otaku Reviews

Roboco, you are in the position of Korosuke, right?

42: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx8

42: Japan Otaku Reviews

By the way, I couldn’t draw this manga, so I had it drawn by Mr. Yabuki. Don’t bother him!! © Kentaro Yabuki/Shueisha

43: Japan Otaku Reviews

Roboko is reliable in times of need…

44: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>28

In other words, taking one character each from Doraemon and Ram-chan, it’s Ra Ra…?!

45: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>44

Stop making it look like a received accident.

46: Japan Otaku Reviews

Roboko is too cute, and that’s the problem.

47: Japan Otaku Reviews

As expected, I think Roboco is stealing too much from Trouble and Ao’s boxes.

49: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>47

Certainly.

No matter how attractive the robot girl is, that seems a bit too blatant, doesn’t it?

50: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>49

Roboco-chan is…

If I don’t ease up, Bond will get too nervous and die.

54: Japan Otaku Reviews

Kyaa!! Rito-san’s perverted!!

55: Japan Otaku Reviews

As expected, there’s no one who would complain about it being a copy, so it’s a good decision.

57: Japan Otaku Reviews

But Roboco has a completely different backstory from Lara, as she was active in war zones in the past.

It’s more like the golden Yami…

60: Japan Otaku Reviews

There might be a chance if it’s in energy-saving mode, but in that case, Mom will sense the darkness and try her best to stop it…

61: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the case of Roboco, it feels like if you copy it, it just stops at being a gag.

It’s not that you’ll get in trouble if you mess up; it’s just that examples of being completely out of line are rare.

62: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is there an original source for Roboko!? No way, is the paperback cover based on something too…?

63: Japan Otaku Reviews

I like when you regularly do parodies unrelated to Jump.

64: Japan Otaku Reviews

I hope it continues as long as Kochikame.

65: Japan Otaku Reviews

Plagiarism is something that becomes problematic if exposed.

A homage is something that is troublesome if it goes unnoticed.

I was taught that.

66: Japan Otaku Reviews

The thread image is quite similar, if not exactly alike.

It’s black and white.
