They're playing international 4D chess in the middle of the street.

Wait, this isn't NSFW at all!

Welp, merry Christmas.

Onibi is the spiritual master for mask, unconsciously mask has in these moments of reflection images of kaoru that appear. Sign that unconsciously kaoru and in her thoughts even if for the moment she rejects them. Make no mistake the flirtation between kaoru and mask is the direction that the story will take, mask venere onibi at the same time they are together for a long time contrary to the recent relationship between kaoru and mask.
Personally these segments kaoru-mask , onibi-nao, shizuka-mio are the most interesting because they have a trajectory much less classic than the other "couples".

Otherwise for onibi it is obvious that his evolution in terms of potential love is going to be in the direction of NAO ...

I couldn't agree more

Ship wars! Ship wars!

The nature of shipping is not giving a shit about canon. The two main male characters in a shounen manga may both have canon girlfriends, but fangirls will still ship them together and think it's far better this way. No such thing as war between canon and ship, they run on separate thoroughfares.
This is even truer for a manga like VE where the canon has been written in stone since forever. Kishi revealed the endgame couples a long time ago, we knew of most of them before they even formed. Just check his extra art, ie his Halloween pics: all you need to know is there.
To sum it up: 1) We already know who will end up with who. 2) Shippers still don't give a damn.

Finally Kaoru x Mask, yay!

Of all things, why did it have to be German...

Cool factor plus it makes everything sound like either a war movie, or hardcore porn

Such power play! A top pair, in multiple ways. While not my #1 pair, they’re definitely in my top 3 + their ability to top are off the charts, the other students got nothing (Yuu who?).

The constellation in the southwestern corner of the sky is totally a hotbed for shipping.

Mio/Shizuka/Kaoru/Mask/Onibi/Nao — Talk about potential, ohohoh.

The Manga Research Club is pretty much the series nexus of sprawling and convoluted relationships. Probably doesn't hurt that - with the notable exception of Hibiki and Mio - everyone connected to it is a raging weirdo (all the artsy types, Nao), messed up in the head (Shizuka) or both (Kaoru)... :P

Ara?

Damn my German is rusty.

I confirm that this is true, works for Kaoru anyway

I'm not sure why being incredibly obnoxious is apparently supposed to be hot.

That's *literally* different strokes for different folks!

Thats it, im on board! I love the interactions between these two, always trying to break down each others shields, loved that "gottem" move there, hats off to Kaoru for that one.

Kaoru was like "call an ambulance but not for me"

This was very interesting.
It was already great with Mayoi using the reverse card, then Kaoru reverse-reversed it back. Tale of no bottoms, Battle of two tops.

Is there any couple in the series with two bottoms?

This was my first thought. They seem eager to bend over backwards to please each other.

I am german soooo...... "Ich habe viel Zeit mit einer Freundin aus Deutschland verbracht," would have been the correct spelling for this sentence :D Virgin's Empire is my favorite Manga of all the time <3

Although, didn't VE have a german publication ? Wonder how they will translate that ?

I don't know what you're even trying to ask. Why would a German publisher translate the German part into anything?
