Ugh Kaoru is such a disgustingly manipulative person. Shizuka really should have cut her out of her life.

wow this really is like "what does the fox say". at least with this pair

I was excepting no hoping for this. Finally somethings happening.

Ugh Kaoru is such a disgustingly manipulative person. Shizuka really should have cut her out of her life.

Ayup. However, at a stroke this chapter was salvaged for me by the brilliant ridiculousness of the Perfect Sandwiiich! Well played.

In love with the art, man o man, if i only could draw like this...

That girl is poison

Well she tried to, and it didn't go so well.

Only because she didn't stick with it. I find it extraordinarily unlikely that Kaoru was actually a real danger to herself considering how much of an egoist she is. She wasn't trying to kill herself she was going on a hunger strike to guilt-trip Shizuka into continuing to put up with her awful behaviour.

Totally got that vibe this chapter
Kaoru disturbs me a bit
Lmao the perfect sandwich in the end tho, took the weight of this chapter off my chest

Well if that's a risk you're willing to take, then you are stronger than Shizuka.

think ur confusing hunger strike with depression.it happens...trust me on that.

the only reason she got better is because shizuka forgave her but not enough to become lovers again which is what kaoru desperately wants.

Much as I wish MahiMahi were actual twins (and much as I think Kishi-sensei wants the readers to basically view them that way while avoiding the letter of whatever editorial or other pressures it might have caused) the character summary page from vol. 6 calls them "擬似双子," which means "pseudo-twins."

Since there seems to be some question on it, that page also lists the class years for all the characters:

1st Years:
Mahiro
Mahiru
Yuu
Mari
Nao
Mayu　(Kaoru's kohai toy)
Mio (Ichinose)
Mariri
Midori (new character later in vol. 5)

2nd Years:
Ai
Chie
Michiru
Airi
Ayano
Miyoshi
Honoka
Alicia
Onoda (she isn't given a first name)
Yumimi
Mayuyu

3rd Years:
Kaoru
Shizuka
Nononon

I knew this had many characters... but wow, those are more than I thought. I don't remember any names, only Ai and Chie... which are the only ones I care enough to.

I really don't like Kaoru

Well i also was wondering too if Shizuka actually still loves Kaoru that way...'cuz DAMN she doesn't really RESIST THOSE DIRTY HANDS OF KAORU!!! WHAT ABOUT THE PURE-HEARTED KOHAI?!?! OH WHAT BETRAYAL! O_O

I despise Kaoru, I just hate characters like her tbh.

I really hate kaoru now ;___; why is she doing that to senpai ;A;

Kaoru is gorgeous and awful.
I love her.

Kaoru is totally voiced by Sawashiro Miyuki in Maria from Arakawa Under the Bridge type voice.

kaoru playing mind games. scary.

So who is gonna shut down Kaoru? Shizuka, maybe Mayu?
Will Kaoru go on the offensive against Ichinose?

Whatever happens, Kaoru scares me.

damn kaoru, you're mean as fuck

damn last pag, you ow m a nw kyboard

the yaoi bait at the end tho throws up

Kaoru is gorgeous and awful.
I love her.

my exact sentiments.

you have to admit, Kaoru really knows how to push Shizuka's buttons.

btw, the yaoi is like whoa. it's so risqué! now what i've been wondering is if these are the pages Honoka and Alicia have ben working on and were they added at the end as a teaser?

I feel like most of you are biased about Kaoru because you got invested in the Shizuka/Mio pairing from all the earlier chapters with just them. Yes, she is absolutely abusing her effortless charm and BWOC status to try to seduce Shizuka again, but why not? She knows that the woman she loves got away due to her selfishness and feels (right or wrong) that a direct push past Shizuka's barriers is the way to get her back. In her mind Mio (Ichinose, The Kohai, whatever) is just a distraction, a plaything, a little girl who's not playing in the big leagues with them.

Now, it's pretty clear we're supposed to read deeper feelings than that for Mio on Shizuka's part, but I feel like in a different context you'd be rooting for Kaoru. Shizuka and Mio aren't married or even dating, and Kaoru wants her woman back. :3

(I mean, we know that won't happen, because this manga doesn't deal in that deep of drama if the younger girl is spurned... but then again, Kaoru will bring the drama herself if she's ultimately totally rejected, and there's no one else on the horizon for her - I don't think she'd seriously consider a relationship with Mayu or any younger girl, she just likes to exercise her powers on them)

(And yes, I think the Kaoru character is fantastic - she is bringing a lot to the table here. Although my favorite pair is Mari and Yuu and my favorite character is Miyoshi. :D)
