utsugi *has mental breakdown
kei and rei, i'm about this to ruin this girl's whole career

Damn this was heavy for a school zone, even with the gag reveal at the end

Hiiragi such a piece of shit, but seeing as her tantrum in this chapter seemed serious its almost like we're set up for a sad backstory and a redemption arc like Shizuka from virgin's empire

or she's just a bitch by nature lol

She’s like a middle schooler cut her some slack

Unlike Tsubaki, who's mostly friendless due to severe social anxiety issues and visibly suffers from it, Hiiragi gives the impression of being solitary out of preference and mostly plain uninterested in socialising with people

I know from lived experience that some people mask their social anxiety with the appearance of disinterest

i like the twins tbh.

my only problem with this manga is that without fail every single chapter has ended in a joke. and jokes are obviously fine, but are we ever going to meaningfully release any of the tensions between the characters? is the status quo going to remain the same the entire time?

exactly this, the series is wonderful as a comedy but then there's bits of drama that isn't handled all that well

I don't even know what hiiragi's character is supposed to be besides angst monster lol

I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself

I really didn't think this would apply to more than one chapter.

Yes, there's development in this series and it's very sweet.

Ahhh ok I totally get Hiiragi now. Its must be infuriating for her hearing Tsubaki talk bad about herself when she doesn't have it that bad. At least she has friends like Kaname and Yatsude and she does well in school. I found it sweet that in times of distress she was thinking of Utsugi.

I found this chapter really entertaining but I hope 5yat the twins can resolve their differences and just be happy.

Sure, but so far we've seen Hiiragi has no problems interacting with people when she wants to - that's just really rare.

The reasons for her aloofness rapidly turned out to be pretty grim tho... :/

rip nose

I wish her a quick recovery.
I also wish that worker be the one to escort her to a hospital (I mean, alongside the ambulance staff, obviously)

Ow i've been there before, shit hurts.

She needs to perform 100 good deeds in order to die peacefully

Being Fuji is suffering.

i wholeheartedly love this so much
this just makes me so relaxed when reading it not to mention its funny as hell

Yes, I love these two so much! I'll take as many chapters with them as there are of the main idiot couple!

As an aside there's a curious pattern of all the evident drama-involved characters so far being connected to Yatsude to some degree - namely Tsubaki, one half of the badly messed up sibling relationship (and thusly indirectly Hiiragi), and there's clearly some kind of less than entirely pleasant history between her and Yamashiro.

oh no- the poop chapter got me laughing out loud i love them so much

Being Fuji is suffering.

And being meguca is suffering too... Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

Lol, that sfx when she hits the sign.

These two are just too perfect.

Are the Boyscouts a culturally relevant thing in Japan? Because the three-finger salute and the "do a good deed every day" bit are both Boyscout things in America.

Oh, interesting. I noticed that the results board in Hiiragi's flashback is for Seirin Academy, the one Tsubaki said had "cute uniforms." I wonder if she failed to get in, despite being academically strong and getting a medal for kendo, which prompted her "useless" comments. Or maybe she got in, and Hiiragi didn't, and Tsubaki said something along the lines of being okay with turning down Seirin and going to whatever school Hiiragi got into because she would be "useless" without Hiiragi. Hiiragi may have thought Tsubaki was being flippant, while Tsubaki truly believed she couldn't do anything without her sister by her side. Whatever the case, communication is key here, girls.

I really like Ningiyau's writing. Often dropping in little story threads amidst all the silliness. It flows so smoothly.

It’s not one shoe fits all. Take me for example. I don’t have friends who I can talk to because of social anxiety dating all the way back to my youth (aside from like family friends - basically family). However, if I get comfortable around people, I can’t shut up. And in recent years, I’ve gotten better with interacting with strangers. Although, I’m comfortable by myself, I’m still working on socializing more with others.

I'm starting to think the "idiot couple" tag might not be enough. It seems like we need an "idiot cast" tag for this one.
