How things have changed. Back in the early days of the manga, Shizuka was in the habit of not wearing any underwear at all, and would often tease Mio with it.

Seems like there are a lot of chapters under this tag that have been thoroughly tagged.

Ed and Ian have never been portrayed as anything other than a happy, loving, well-adjusted and emotionally stable gay couple. You people who are constantly expecting skeletons to suddenly jump out of every closet need to adjust the media you consume.

I think by "you people" you mean 1 person. Unless I missed something the rest of us commenting on the subject agree with you I believe haha

I've been on this site for 8 years. I've seen plenty of Dynasty readers assume the absolute worst about the most harmless of situations and interactions, in complete contravention of all the textual and meta-textual evidence we have at our disposal. It's not a phenomenon limited to one person posting in the past 20-30 messages of this thread.

And still loving MayoKao. It feels like the Vamp has settled down a bit, and Mask has really learned how to handle her.

He's really selling Kaoru's face-turn, and as a former Kaoru disliker, I am here for it.

Kishi-sensei is a masterful tease. Giving the readers what they want, but doing so with maximum plausible deniability.

Poor Mari being hung out to dry. It's like the old joke where the masochist says "hurt me!" and the sadist says "no".

Very meta. I think I am insufficiently grounded in the LL! Superstar! fandom to completely follow the threads here, but it's always good to see Mezashi again.

I mean, this one seems a little unclear to me? You could interpret it as "Mask groped Kaoru and Kaoru is thinking about it later in the bath" but it also feels like it could be read as "Kaoru fell asleep in the bath and had a smutty dream about Mask."

But I mean, that could just be my brain struggling with the 180 this ship did a few installments ago.

Yeah, I got a little of that ambiguity myself. I think it's real, but I also wouldn't be surprised if it's not.

I just wanna give props to the translators because (as I understand things) Mask is using kind of an archaic and overly formal style of Japanese, like the kind you'd use in the presence of royalty or something, and they're managing to translate it into an equally stuffy and archaic style of English.

I have not found this particular arc as stressful as others have found it, but I am quite glad it's over. It would be nice if we could go back to the diabetes-inducing WAFF of the earlier series, but I fear that "We've never fought" line is straight-up foreshadowing.

Kishi is introducing a whole new couple just so he can make it take EVEN LONGER for Ayano and Miyoshi to get together.

There is litterally no way they dont know how they feel about each other and that they both know it - so can't they just start dating please ?

They've been dating for a while, openly enough for their close friends to know about it too.They just haven't cross ''that'' line yet. Not on camera at least.

I feel pretty confident that, if they ever do, Kishi will show it on-screen. (Or, at least as on-screen as Mio and Shizuka.)

Props to the translators who know it's "Psych" and not "Sike," which is not a word in the first place. The pedant in me is pleased.

What you mean is "sike" isn't the right word for that situation. Sike is an older word, but word it is.

“Sike” is not a modern English word. It may be a slang spelling of “psych,” which is a shortened form of the idiom, “psyched you out.” “Sike” is also a pre-modern spelling for words such as “sick” or “seek,” and a Scottish dialect word for “a small stream.”

But in this context “Sike” is not a recognized English word.

Looks like everybody so far has recognized it.

So, everyone including the female teachers are lesbians at this school?

Hibiki has dated boys, so she's either bi or het.

...idk if that actually makes any sense

It doesn't, but I appreciate the spirit.

I'm also hoping they go back and show Kase telling Fukami the truth at some point, because then at least this arc would have resulted in something happening.

Tune in two months from now to find out!

Thank you, id=3! (⁀ ᗢ⁀)~♥

id=3?

Everyone who signs up here has an id number. You can see it in your personal page. I'm 47108. You're 89567. The smaller the number, the higher your seniority. The number 1 has been deleted, so the eldest members of the forum are omnscient0 who is id=2 (and has been inactive for five years) and Casusby who is id=3 (and is the most senior active member, admin and moderator).

where can you find your personal page? I've only ever seen manage/edit your profile

Me too, I'm also curious about where to find it

I think they probably mean the page that lists all of your posts to the forums, which you can access by clicking on the link under your username in any of your forum posts. The URL for that page will have your ID in it.

What's the best way to do this?

Pretty sure Hibiki is the first girl we see Kaoru flirt with way back in the dim mists of time.
