I'm curious because given how much of a mothercon is Asuka, i don't see how she can get interested in anyone else other than her mother.

God, I'm not sure what it is about her but she's seriously creeping me out.

I think some people are getting a little lost in the timeline here.

Which isn’t too surprising—out of curiosity I started counting, and through Chapter 5 there have already been 9 flashbacks or other deviations from the narrative present, and I haven’t even reached the flashback-heavy parts of the story.

But the Senpai Incident is Asuka in middle school (as Jun-kun reminds us), not in high school in the narrative present.

I believe the traditional answer is, “No, but I’d fuck yours.”

You can still do both.

So, wait, we're currently still in some flashback?

It seem so.

Here is the rule of thumb for this manga: if Asuka has long hair (beyond shoulder blades long) it's a present time, if she has medium hair (slightly above or beyond shoulders) - it's a flashback.

The constant flashbacks and .3 ex plus alpha chapter numbering are just leaving me confused and annoyed..

It's like a Street Figher name.

There's a saying among manga readers. You lack ideas, put in cheating.

What if the whole premise of the manga is cheating?

Where is there cheating in this story?

OKAY I GUESS THE PRESIDENTS MYSTERIOUS SECRET IS THAT SHE'S A SLUTTY LESBIAN, GREAT
NOW MORE MOM TIME

Its important tho. Many kids grow messed up cuz of sexual encounters at an early age.

I was sexually abused at young age and it messed me up sexially.

OH NOES!!!!!11

What is this illicit non-incestual homosexual relationship doing in this manga?

I demand an explanation!

It gives the squeaky-clean Asuka a dark secret.

But Ayako suspects . . .

These flashbacks are giving me whiplash
Here's a song in the meantime

These flashbacks are giving me whiplash

You have no idea.

I count 26 “installments” of this series (chapters, chapters +, extras, omake, etc).

I also count 47 flashbacks or other deviations from the narrative present as established in Chapter 1. (These are defined as “visual representations of events of the past.”)

11 installments open in a flashback; only 5 (including the Cat Day extra) take place entirely in the narrative present.

Now, a number of these time deviations are very brief—sometimes not even a full panel, as when Ayako remembers little Asuka having a fever or whatever.

But many of them are extended and quite complex. For example:

Chapter 10. This is the continuation of the conversation between Asuka and Jun-kun on the park bench.
* opens with a Jun POV flashback remembering little Asuka.
* returns to the present
* there’s an Asuka POV memory of Miyuki-senpai doing lesbian things
* an Ayako POV memory of Jun, Rui, and Asuka as children

Chapter 10.1+a
* opens as a Jun POV flashback remembering when he asked Asuka about her father
* flashes back within the flashback to recall overhearing his parents talk about Ayako and her family situation
* within that he flashes back to a scene of himself being a little reliable boy
* returns to the scene of Jun asking Asuka about her father

Everything from Chapter 11 onwards has been the lead-up to the wedding, the wedding itself, and the conversation with Miyuki-senpai in the narrative present, with the rest being flashbacks going back and forth between the first and second year of Asuka’s middle school, including the masturbation scene and the cram school, as well as Asuka’s memories of senpai from elementary school.

So yeah, whiplash, or something . . .

I'm amazed you manage too remember all of that.

Actually, I did it because I was as confused as anybody. So I re-read it and wrote them down.

I feel like having too many flashbacks tend to cause the story to stagnate, instead of propelling the plot

What was that? Was this senpai seducing different girls for fun or was she actually looking for mutual love with Asuka? But damn how dare she steal that kiss which was supposed to be her mom's!
