Yeah, it's obvious Mari is seeking punishment. Because she gets off on it.

"Break me more!" is what she said.

Because it's a dom/sub relationship that just works. And they have sex already, contrary to all of the other couples.

Tsk, and here I thought fo'sure you were going to link to the movie theater sex scene...

no this is when they first had sex. https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/virgins_empire_ch44#7

What the heck. None of these are examples of sex. Erotic, yes. Sex, no.

You know there's more to sex than the touching of reproductive organs, right?

Sex is what the parties decide sex is. BDSM in the real world can be considered part of sexual activities, but in a lot of cases it's actually not lived as that. It seems that Mari is feeling sexual pleasure with BDSM, we're not quite sure about Yuu, but the most important thing is that they have a BDSM relationship which is not considered as sex for both of them (it seems).

They obviously lack in communication to do the next step.

Also considering the play narcissistic I would say it's a kind of kink shaming.

Mari is into it and is conscious about it. She even thinks about using some of it as schlick fodder.. But Yuu is kindof a natural at it and probably didn't formalize the relationship in her mind.

Somehow, I think Mari is taking advantage of Yuu in that regard :)

Naaah Yuu absolutely knows what she's doing, it's just insecure about her feelings

Chapter 180: Formal love declarations.... Have they told each other they love each other before? I'm pretty sure Chie's was an attempt to get a reaction out of Ai, though I don't doubt her sincerity. Ai's response is obviously straight from the heart.

Chapter 181: Kohai of the Month? Kohai of the YEAR! Just ask your sempai out on a date already! The section at the end is cute, too though. [Having joints that make cracking noises every time I bend them, I feel Nononon's pain. Back in college I used to love to give people back rubs, put my knuckles right next to their spine on both sides, and crunch my knuckles repeatedly all the way up their back. Nobody expects somebody's knuckles to be able to crack repeatedly like that, so they think your really cracking their back and it freaks them out... I've got a bit of Yuu in me I guess....]

"What!? No way I'm signing marriage papers with you! Are you daft?"
"Geez OKAY! Stop bothering me! I'm signing them! Happy now?"
"WHY YOU -- that's it! I'm getting divorce papers asap!!!"

Insecure indeed. (nods nods)

Chapter 181: Kohai of the Month? Kohai of the YEAR!

Amen.
Yumimi best kohai ever ftw.

Someone explain the joke to me. It looks like it's supposed to be a video starring Shizuka & Mio?

The credits pages are killing me...

I find myself constantly thinking these days that this is the best manga that i am currently reading.

There are others with much deeper stories or better art but ultimately this is the one that's always guaranteed to put a smile on my face and making me feel good about life. Even simply seeing that there's a new chapter to read is enough to make me feel ecstatic! = D

Ditto! I don't know why it took me so long to start reading it. I just started a couple of months ago. I'd read a couple of chapters a couple of years ago, but I didn't keep up, then one day I decided to marathon it and BAM! I was hooked!

I'm so glad you like it! <3

I think this is the first time I've experienced the "a girl in love is cuter" effect myself. I've liked the Nononon x Yumimi pairing since the beginning. The more Yumimi tries to encourage her, and the more Nononon struggles with her insecurities, the cuter she looks. Just a little bit chubby.. It suits her and I love the way she's drawn! Too bad her kouhai couldn't be walking by and see her in her swimsuit.

Next step in breaking down her insecurities is obviously lewd sex hand-holding.

Was this a missed opportunity.
[] yes
[] Definitely
[] Absolultely

no sunscreen allowed??? to what end?????

ai and chie are gonna give each other heart attacks at this rate

Credits page on Chapter 180 was to die for

Self-deprecation is one hell of a drug, glad to see Yumimi going for the intervention.

Next step in breaking down her insecurities is obviously lewd sex hand-holding.

Hey now, we don't want this place to become unwholesome, so I fixed that to make it less obscene.

i feel like a real geek for knowing this! it's because the water will get oily and filmy if there are a bunch of students using sunscreen. and depending on the type of filter system, it might clog the filtration and allow bacteria to thrive in the water.

Nya-chan, fully aware that sex doesn't have to be strictly in the realm of genitals.

Thank you, Tsuki-chan for your awesome input.

I think that many of us paused or abandoned this during it's early chapters... Could've been for the drawing style (early chapters) or the seemingly random stories that were all over the place but somehow we all came back and got surprised with a lot of improvements, specially the art and the relationships. I'm just guessing of course, but I'm so so sooooooo glad the manga wasn't axed back then because even the translation stopped and went through like 4 different teams
