how much you wanna bet that grandpa doesn't even know that his granddaughter is running around the park and battling monsters, maybe he really just thinks it's sword practice lmao

I liked it, it probably wasn't intentional but Takimiya's story being so underbaked makes it even funnier, that last "fuck you" for her at the end is a very Akashi kind of humour.

Best case scenario, they find each other and Asumi realizes she can't throw away the life she built with Nanao for a childhood crush that she wasn't even really aware of, and they become friends instead and Mai finds her own girlfriend.

I still think this would make the most sense, first and foremost because it would be funny and this is a comedy manga :P If after however many chapters it turns out that they'd rather just go their separate ways, that's pretty humorous to me. But I think it's hard to predict anything because I also don't get the impression that any of this was planned out.

OH IT WAS HER THE WHOLE TIME but like what is the point of that, it was a nice story even without this massive coincidence

PS: there's no such thing as "Standard" English. It's not French (and plenty of French people make fun of the Académie Française anyway).

When I was taught English at school (as a foreign language) it was "officially" British English, at least according to curriculum, not sure if that's common around the world. But realistically it also didn't matter in 99% of cases :P

she's got some preconceived notions about oni (i refuse to call the ogres)

get out of my swamp

They silently swapped Yuzu for another character to save the series but hey it's working

It's really confusing to read if you don't realize that the white-haired girl from the first page of the first chapter isn't actually Aki, because the further in the story you get, the less sense that makes :P

The british English was really thick on this chapter. I wish they'd use normal standard English.

... you made me reread the chapter and I honestly couldn't notice anything but I'm neither British nor American :P Which parts sound British?

okay I'm glad this is just the name of a place, not something else I was totally not thinking of

It's even funnier that in the bonus for Doughnuts (which I don't think is on the site) there was actually some (very light) teasing about Subaru x Fuuka, while here the author went in the other direction where it's arguably more believable lol

Seems... kinda disjointed and spastic so far, but we'll see how it goes I guess :P

I always want to be "this isn't an airport, you don't have to announce your departure." Can't people keep that sentence to themselves, at the very least?

Personally I'm way more bothered by people telling others what should or shouldn't be said on a discussion forum.

I'm sad it appears to end but at the same glad that it means we won't get back to vore again :P
Probably more sad though.

I'm not sure what I expected from the present reveal, but given the fact that the author bothered to hide it from us initially, I was expecting something more interesting than just some random (and apparently expensive) perfume :P

The story is super weird, it clearly doesn't take itself too seriously but simultaneously tries to make some kind of serious point, the classic "can robots feel" etc, but it's super jarring that the most deranged character tries to tell us something meaningful about making your own choices and free will and shit :P I'm honestly not sure how I feel about it so far.

Since the issue with the dad (the other one :P) is more or less still not addressed, I'm going to assume Wen is somehow connected to it, but we'll see :P So far I have faith in the author.

Also, the moral of the story so far - if you think there is something missing in your life, check your phone case. (But seriously, that puzzle piece analogy felt just a bit too on the nose :P I'll let it slide though, the story so far is pretty good).

... well the difference between them is simple and most important one, the light tries to come to Xingyuan, didn't happen to Yunduo apparently :P

OK, this is purely me playing devil’s advocate (I was an early adopter of the “Yundou is into Xiaoen” theory, and still hold to it), but was there anything more explicit in this chapter to support that premise than we’ve seen before?

There certainly was more of the same—statements with implied subtext, significant expressions, meaningful framing and cuts from panel to panel, etc. Is it the quantity of suggestions/focus on Yundou’s feelings that sealed the deal for previous doubters?

For me it wasn't quantity, but the fact that the question Yunduo asked was so specific, and that she is visibly disappointed in the answer :P Hard for me to come up with any other interpretation after this. Although no, it's not 100% explicit but I wouldn't bet on my initial guess being right anymore.

I still do not buy Yunduo x Xiaoen theory (...)

But I have been wrong about this kind of thing before :P

fuck

Didn't expect Uda basically going for it right off the bat, but it happened, even if it understandably didn't fully register :P I guess that kinda works.

Being the volleyball girl really is suffering, holy crap

Wow! She almost said it!

Right, I forgot to comment of that - the more interesting part is that Suou clearly understood anyway :P which allows her to be pretty smug about it by the end of the chapter, considering the insecurity from before. I guess it's not rocket science and maybe I'm stating the obvious but I liked how that chapter was constructed.

I still do not buy Yunduo x Xiaoen theory. Everything still makes sense if she's just an old friend (and as people said, maybe deep down envious about how Xiaoen seems very happy despite not playing by the rules), and you don't have to perform any divination by reading the flames in the campfire.

But I have been wrong about this kind of thing before :P

Okay I change my mind about the gimmick getting old, this manga could go for ages if it was allowed to - just go down the list of top students lmao

... that excuse with the husband was a bit dumb to begin with. If a husband saw lots of calls with a young girl in the call history, I doubt that a lesbian lover would be the first thing that came to mind, and just telling him it's a female friend is the easiest and most believable excuse ever anyway :P

Anyway, I liked it, I didn't think there's anything ominous about the ending.
