I feel like Nagi’s just angling for those middle school Airi pics, by any means necessary

"If you can't catch the references when the show up, you've lost".

That's how I feel watching Rifftrax movie commentaries.

"Yeah, Airi might be a dumbass, but she's MY dumbass".

Her heart will grow three sizes whether she likes it or not

To be fair, Kashiwagi, the whole 'magical animal turns human to repay a favor' or 'magical animal is forced to stay human and become a bride' story is about as universal a myth as you'll find, east or west.

Good news is it looks like she finished and were gonna end up this dumb arc next chapter hopefully.

Bad news is I expect lame ass Watanabe so now join their friend group and just be annoying the entire rest of this series. Nagi needs to hurry up and wifey up Airi because this stupid Watanabe seems to be obsessed with her have a feeling she's gonna be in the way from here on out.

She could also experience some character growth, which seems to be a bit of a thing in this series.

airi's drawing of Nagi was so cute weh that's how she sees her (nagi's reaction was equally cute they should kiss with tongue)

PLEASE SUGAR-SENSEI, LET US READ AIRI-CHANS MANGA, AND MY LIFE IS YOURS

The fact that this girl makes it a point to be antisocial in real life, but will do outfit selfie and cosmetics review online to grind follower count is unhinged . XD

Oh nyo, otaku Airi-chan is showing!

Gotta say, on these last 2 chapters (29-30), I hate this girl. Sincerely, she's just goddamn annoying annnnd she's also a stalker.

She's not the only stalker here lmao. Waon just watches the senpai she admires at school, but Fumi participates in doxxing games and can easily find out about your account and where you live.

Waon despises having to act nice to get along with others. So although she tries hard to gain followers, she doesn't clout-chase or pander to the masses to get them to like her, meaning that her huge follower count are probably all otakus who have the same interests as her.

Next time, lock her in a cage...

She'd probably like it.

Good for them

Looks like she got to that thousand yard stare by the end of production, if that wasn't just purely the author using Airi as an insert character for Autobiographical mishaps.

Also, the drawing of Nagi is another one of those 'best friend plus' scenarios,

"That's the portait I did of Nagi. She really liked it!"

"...you drew her with sparkles and hearts."

"Well yeah, she's my best friend!"

"..."

omg i’m in love with this series.. ₍₍⚞(˶♡ꇴ♡˶)⚟⁾⁾

for starters, recently I’ve totally been obsessed with these yuri-ish type of works (I.e. Even the Introverted Gals Wanna Get Out There, See You Tomorrow at the Food Court, and stuff) so I love the romantic implications between Airi and Nagi, the delinquent girl & storybook girl (Umi & Iori), and the vtuber & pervert girl (Konoha & Minori)! I think my favorite pairing in this manga is Airi & Nagi (not just because I relate to Airi and desperately want a girl like Nagi) but because I love how their relationship was handled in the series. I didn’t really expect Nagi to be as obsessed with Airi as she was (not that I would’ve minded) but I think it’s cool that they addressed her unhealthy obsession with Airi and how she was using it as an excuse for staying socially isolated. In fact, the message of this entire series about relationships and how important it is to be there for those you love really stuck out to me.. .·°՞(≧□≦)՞°·.

I have soooo much more to say about how much of a sucker I am for the otaku and gyaru stuff (even if I don’t understand some of it) and how much I enjoy the fan-service moments in this manga.. but it’s like super late rn and I need to wake up in like 2 hours to do some work I’ve been neglecting :(

sorry if this all sounds incoherent or whatever. I’m just super tired rn and I kinda struggle with putting my thoughts into words (even online). I just really enjoy this manga and really wanted to ramble about it! :)

Can someone tell me how yuri this is? I remember that at first the tag was Yuri and I was reading it, then at some point it got changed to Yuri crush because the only yuri seemed one-sided and sometime later I stopped reading it because it never became anything more. But now I see that the Yuri tag is back. Does that mean that something actually happens in a later chapter?

Nothing is undeniably proven, but Nagi is very clearly into Airi, and Airi giggles to herself in bed remembering Nagi calling her cute. Meanwhile we have multiple pairs of side girls with strong and unconventional friendships.

this one's funny enough that it stands on its own, even w/o yuri.

mangaka self insert at end?

Oh hey, this arc turned out pretty well!

Wow subverted my expectations I honestly thought she would become friends with them and Airi is just all "nope don't want to be your friend" haha.

I thought Nagi was gonna faint from being called SUPER cute as well. Her going and having lunch with the annoying girl was very sweet as well and she was very upset she didn't get those middle school Airi pics hahahahahahaha. I think knowing what color underwear Airi wears makes her win pics or not.

overall glad this arc is done we need some Airi/Nagi progress in the next one kthnx.

I was just about to say, this is no longer the characters talking. The author is talking directly to me, and I agree lol. I hate Twitter/X, the everything app, but you'll have to rip it from my cold, dead hands.

Not so much that as "I know you don't want to be friends, so I won't try to force it." Meanwhile Nagi seems to be making an approach of her own that achieves... something like a friendship. Maybe more like her and Waon are colleagues in their fandom of Airi, but hey, mutual interest! I doubt this is the last we've seen of her.

Now watch Nagi wear that cosplay everyday because she got called cute.

I'll never understand people that willingly poison themselves, but more power to you.

half the cast are freaks...
