Excuse me since when being hella jealous over mistake is "realistic"?

Um, since the beginning of recorded history?

I'm convinced that Loralei is actually a manifestation of Miki in our reality.

^ lol

Jokes aside, I'm more like Kanade before pointless change irl. I'm not successful, BUT STILL! I asked my friend for opinion. And she agrees with me that this manga is dumb, unrealistic and pointless.

When this manga ends, a solid score of 1 goes on my MAL account.

Oh, your friend—well then, I guess that’s that.

I don’t think anyone objects to the mere fact that you don’t like the manga; anybody is free to like or dislike anything they want.

Many rational people who intensely dislike a story just stop reading it and move on to more rewarding pursuits in their lives.

Why you feel compelled to show up in the comments with every new chapter and hold forth with unconvincing assertions about how bad it is—that is a more puzzling question.

If for some reason that’s fun for you, well, there it is. Just as making fun of you may be fun for other people.

Loralei, I imagine your idea of a realistic school manga is one where every character is Sayaka from Bloom into You, acting calmly and reasonably at all times and negotiating problems and conflicts with poise and patience like a grown-up. But in real life the teenage mind is a device for amplifying trifles, ephemeral occurrences and meaningless mistakes into life-obliterating calamities and WWI trench warfare. This story gets that across pretty well.

One might almost think that love/infatuation/sexual attraction/raging hormones sometimes made people act in irrational, thoughtless, and impulsive ways.

I have heard rumors to that effect . . .

Oh no! The horror!

BUT STILL! I asked my friend for opinion. And she agrees with me that this manga is dumb, unrealistic and pointless.

That settles it, then: time for you to stop reading every new chapter of this manga and move on to better stories that your friend will approve of!
Buh bye, and don't let the door hit you on the way out

You know, after the latest chapter, this does not help convince me otherwise... ;)

Does fiction reflect reality or does reality copy fiction?

Yes.

Yes.

thumbs up

To me the main point of this is the cliques and how they operate and can fall apart. Part of why Heedless Gyaru is causing so much trouble is her breaking them up unilaterally.

This really does -- still -- feel like a cross between Ajichi's usual drama-school lesbians and Morinaga Milk. It has heavy, heavy aspects of Girl Friends, Secret Recipe and Secret of the Princess.

I can see the influences there for sure. Girl Friends was the first Yuri manga I read in full, and only my second after Citrus, which was not yet complete at the time. That said, the two main characters’ personalities are both more extreme in their presentation. Kurokawa’s deep seated inferiority complex, which Mari did have, but not to the extent Kurokawa does; Fujishiro’s superiority complex and meanness, which were traits Akko never possessed (she was popular, but kind!). These two have a lot more changing and accommodating to do than Mari and Akko. This is the first work from Ajichi that I have read, and I’m excited to see where the story goes next.

Oh, you really should read Dear My Teacher and the accompanying series Dear My Friend by Ajichi, and Secret Recipe and Secret of the Princess by Morinaga Milk. None of Morinaga's girls is as mean as Fujishiro, true -- and even the gils who are hostile in Dear My Teacher aren't really terrible. I think Ajichi wants to show the behavior then the reasons/excuse. I think there's as much influence in the art and character design as in the plot from MM.

Some people call this unrealistic like... Isn't this fiction in the end? But more than that, for me it feels very realistic even when it's fiction. How good that you didn't have to pass for something like this in your teens, but being and idiot and an asshole and having friends like that it's pretty normal. You realize that when you grow up but then you just can think "well, at least I'm not like that anymore". I can't wait for more chapters.

I think it is a rare person who can honestly look back on their teenage self without cringing; and most of those who can are probably either saints or failed to meaningfully mature since then...

Can they kiss already

i waa feeling so annoyed at the asshole but thank god kuro had good sense but please have some pride?
i hope they dont go for the make over route (but we know they will)

Can they kiss already

I hope

Hmmm.... Last time I asked when will the next chapter come to this site, the chapter I was asking for was released just as I was making that post... Let's see if I'll have the same luck this time around...

EDIT:

Nope!

There's a blank speech bubble on page 23: https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/useless_princesses_ch14#23

Anyways, I was expecting this love triangle to come up sooner or later. Still, good on Nanaki for realizing how manipulative Izumi is being here - I'd have expected her to just completely buy what she's saying, no questions asked.

Ughhh

Izumi won't win I imagine

Izumi :/

It is about time for this kind of scene, but Izumi lul.
