omfg Omichi is so fucking cute (also let's get more POC in yuri plsthnx). I think she has a really vibrant personality that's made her stand out with very little screen time. I don't think she's stepping in the middle of the main pairing at all. If anything, her presence has only solidified Hino and Koguma's feelings for each other since they know that they don't have similar feelings for Omichi. I think she'll end up wingmanning for the main pair in a big way. In fact, this arc alone could count as that (even unwittingly). I think there's zero chance of her getting involved with either Hino or Koguma and the chances of poly are very low. She's just a helpful third wheel! (but a very cute one) Please don't be mean to Omichi!

Yeah I think Hino and Koguma will "awaken" the yuri circuits in Omichi but without someone to connect it's gonna be hard, I mean, it's very clear now that Koguma has no interest in her but Omichi is too cute to just be a third wheel or just set aside, so yeah... WE NEED MORE CHARACTERS NOW >:0

The poor thing was just feeling ignored. I'm glad Koguma got in on the teasing too.

Oh hino

Not to be a downer, but this isn't "POC" as much as all of them are "POC" (asians). She's just from a more southern Japanese group that tans darker than others (or she's just tanned at the moment). You'll see plenty of them in Japan. Ethnic Japanese actually have quite a wide range of skin tones. In manga it's often done as an indicator of "this person is a sportsman/outdoorsy type" however, and with her getting all embarrassed in this chapter acting as a type of gap-moe.

dont make this any weirder

Omichi is cute, but I felt this payoff was rather weak. Also, I dont know why, but Hino felt a little bit out of character.

Polyamory with Hino Koguma and Omichi.

Polyamory with Hino Koguma and Omichi.

That's what I'm hoping for, it'd be nice. They all have a good rapport and interactions with eachother already, it'd be cute if it built up to that (over a long time, obviously). Like, Hino and Omichi don't even need to be in a relationship with eachother, it doesn't need to be all of them dating both others to be polyamory.

Omichi needs to go away. This was strong for ~40+ chapters with only 2 characters, and I really don't think she's made anything 'better' so far. Cute chapter, and I think we did see Koguma grow a bit too - she probably would've been a lot more embarrassed in the beginning, but here, she's ready to show herself to Hino.

I mean,it will be already nice if we had proper progress on Koguma/Hino side to not complicated any further. Omichi is a good plus because it had a change of pace from the Koguma/Hino antics that might get old from time to time. And to be fair, Hino don't seem to really care about Omichi at all, as each time it's Omichi who had to force Hino to make a move and the first time it was even for Koguma's sake more than teasing Omichi.

Hmmm rather than weak, I would say too predictable~ In fact I was rather disappointed to know that Koguma didn't use the virgin killer outfit as I hoped.

I think a lot of the comedy in this chapter is what’s not shown or even hinted at. For instance:

What happened to get the girls from the shop to trying on the clothes? Why would they even do it? Hino’s not even a sempai (not that that would be enough anyway)—she has no power to compel them to take their “punishment” for following her.

Except the power of an accomplished dom over a couple of eager-beaver neophyte subs, of course.

lol blastaar. i was thinking the same thing. they've been trained well.

next they will be obediently holding out their wrists waiting to be bound.

yall weak

the series has been stagnant since like chapter 4, it took like 40 chapters for us to get a hint of development, at least theres a new dynamic going on while we wait 40 more chapters for things to advance another half step

Stagnancy is totally fine, especially since these two have always been fun together. Throwing in a third wheel makes for a significantly less enjoyable dynamic, though.

Don’t mess with the Development Mafia—they’re implacable.

Now that's what I call Subjective

I'm pretty into Koguma's friend.

Yeah I enjoy her being part of the story personally. I like having more personalities to bounce things off, and it does seem like they're still getting the right tones and interactions between Hino and Koguma.

Ladies and gents, we've got a threesome. \o/

Quite, quite strange to see people suggesting that Chihiro is adding to the development, when it's the exact opposite. Hino and Koguma were definitively making progress, but since Chihiro showed up it's reverted to a comedy status quo. And that's basically the only purpose she ever could serve; in a comedy-romance manga between two characters, adding a third wheel isn't contributing to the romance, so it can only be contributing to the comedy, and the comedy isn't what drives the plot forward.

Just read all the chapters since she appeared again and you'll see what I mean. She literally only shows up to revert things to staus quo when there's potential emotional progress. Just because she's a new addition doesn't mean the manga is moving forward, rather, it's getting derailed.

That's not to say nobody is allowed to like her or the manga is objectively worse for her inclusion. If you like the dynamic she adds to the comedy, well, that's why she exists. But she is objectively not driving development.

Mildly disappointed in this outcome, since at this point, I’m mostly reading this for those sparse reversals on Hino. Hopefully there’s sum development and it won’t keep with this romcom schtick

I'm not into threesomes in general but I definitely do not want a threesome for this specific manga

Plus, Omichi's kinda like that guy that's cockblocking the yuri, but instead she's a girl, being used to add comedy, and cockblocks the romance
