“In the second comic, Joy is trying to start a Pocky Game and is playfully inviting the other person to join.”

**“So hey… if we’re gonna play a game,
how about something like… that one?

Y’know, like a P〇cky Game or a S〇cker Game—
where we both start eating from each end…

If you get my quiz question right, you win.
And I’ll give you a nice, thick reward…

So go on… just say ‘Yes.’ ”**

The Pocky Game is a playful Japanese party game.
Two people hold opposite ends of a Pocky stick in their mouths and eat toward the center at the same time.
As they get closer, their faces almost touch, creating a fun and slightly flirty tension.
Some people stop right before their lips meet…
and some go all the way and end up kissing.
