OMG I didn't even see the beetle on first pass! Evidently she took the free-for-all victor as an apprentice.

Always two, there are. No more, no less. A master and an apprentice.

I did not in fact, remember that Junna was the vice president

Junna really needs to get her full power back, to survive the gorilla power hugs lol XD

So, we got strawberry and lemon but I don't know what or even if Sou has a fruit. Please elucidate my ignorance.

Hmmm...I don't know where you got strawberry from unless you mean Hana's pink hair (Hana means flower I think or if you meant her last name then it technically not just ichigo, Ichigomiyu)...The only possibly fruit might be blueberry (Very few blue fruits) if Sou's hair is blue...or is it green (Then it would be lime or kiwi or other green fruits)...Aquamarine???? Maybe??? I don't think there are any aquamarine color fruits???

I did not know I needed Lemon. Bartering (haggling?) for dog treats to eat, what a set of priorities.

It could be to feed the dogs as well? cheap price to sell a picture of herself while hugging the dogs....Though knowing her personality and what we seen of her...I wouldn't put it past her to eat a couple of the dog treats as well (2 for herself and 2 for the dog she is petting).

Chapter 2 (Flashback as vice-president)

Though I didn't know Sou was the president of the student council (Might be the new student president this year though perhaps???) considering the author/artist didn't draw her present self (except 1 panel/instance) with her back bun like in the picture/flashback.

I think it's starting to pick up

This series was only just good but now there's Itou Hachi in the credits so it's great and amazing now.

And I guess that's when she found out her true identity...

It takes (almost) losing someone to realize how much you cherish them.

Oh, a giant scar across her chest and words of regret. Seems there was an almost tragic ending to our cute little general at the hands of a magical girl.

The cute everyday life parts are fun, but I hope we get to know more about their lore more too :)

Mangaka often use compounds when giving their characters colorful/descriptive names. It makes them sound more like real names, it’s less obvious/on the nose, is seen as “cuter,” and allows for more personality and differentiation. All to say that, yes, the inclusion of “Ichigo” in her last name is deliberately supposed to invoke association with strawberry to Hana.

“Hisui” can refer to jade, so that might be the correlation with Sou’s last name and her focal color. I don’t think we’ll know if she has a fruit association until we know her Floria name (if we have seen it already, I missed it anyway!)

Holy shit, I thought that was a crease in her shirt. That scar is huge. What was she trying to do? Disembowel her?

Me:

Sees footnote about a scar
“Wait I didn’t see any scar…”
Zooms in
“Oh. Oh god.”

I really wish we could see the whole story instead of getting the cliffnotes.

Same, honestly, clearly there were some major distractions there that our attention was directed to first. Although that last panel was enough to convey the point even without noticing that. Actually noticing the scar certainly made it even clearer, though...

junna's big junnas are very distracting

also for story enjoyers, things are gonna get more linear for the time being

+1

I had to do a triple, quadruple take to finally figure out the scar.
It blended very well as if it was just shading

The reveal and fight between the two must have been very dramatic and intense lol.

Also I think that is a different scar compared to the initial first scar we saw she got from Hana in the previous...It is a diagonal scar...The scar we saw in previous chapter was straight line it seems/Vertical type (Of course it could be the same scar and cut butt author just forgot the angle perhaps???)....Plus at the end (Pwn/REKT Juuna/Evil general laying in a pool of blood...Or is that her hair...blood or hair?) So yeah...Definitely more than one single cut from Hana's sword [That scar (Diagonal type probably was the most intense injury that couldn't be fully healed even with magic apparently???)]

And this is why kids...You do not let your enemies grind EXP and level up to their ultimate, uber, super, mega, hyper, amazing, extreme (Add about +6-7 more adjectives) final transformation mode!!!! Good news for Hana though that Juuna took too long for the eventual reveal and battle (Probably got caught in the feelings and couldn't bring herself to put her 100% intent to hurt and kill Hana either lol...)

Yes I am just joking around with all the adjectives and it was just one single powerful/level up form (Wing heart gem instead of normal base gem) but that is one hell of a power up.

Juuna got rekt/pwn...Hana was feeling h0rny but now she feeling guilty/remorse...RIP Hana XD

Don't worry Hana, it not that uncommon to get into intense battles with your significant magical partner at the beginning...Or at the end game(Due to misunderstandings) (Looks at Nanoha and Fate...Then at Final form Madoka and Final form Homura.)

Neeeed this to get serialized or something cuz these lore hint/splices are KILLING MEEE >___<

I do believe something along those lines was the goal, yes. Then she realized who she was cutting into and her priorities rapidly changed.

The first cut we saw was a cut, not a scar, and Juna explicitly treated it as trivial. This scar is definitely the result of a second, far more serious, cut.

To chime in with my own scar noticing: I saw Hana's eyes, wondered why the detail then when i got to the last panel remembered Junna tracing a scar in an earlier chapter and took a look again and put it all together. Really good, subtle story telling there, making the reader double back and truly examine the work instead of ogle like Hana was initially.
