Really, even in a supposedly cute and sexy form, azu's abs still stands out. I start to believe those abs are not product of transformation.

Might just be that abs are part of the transformation package, so Ruby got them too. Makes more sense to me than Azu somehow being ripped for no reason.

I dont think Ruby got them- my guess is the transformations match the role- and Azu is a magical knight with a sword- it makes sense she'd need to be physically stronger.

I agree its unlikely they are her natural abs- her friend commented in an earlier chapter that Azu was bad at sports.

After this they had lots of you know what.

As long as it's not hand-holding, it's fine.

R.I.P. Azu, you will be missed

H-hot

How exactly do these two still have their powers if magical girls aren't supposed to be able to be in love and have powers?

The only explanation would be that the magic is heteronormative...

Or that the whole no-love thing is a lie to keep the girls "pure" for marketing reasons, like the whole "no relationships" clause in idol contracts. In fact, the magical girl genre is very often used as a metaphor to explore the ugly parts of the idol business.

I need that Sentai in real life, that sounds amazing! A Sentai about dismantling capitalism, that's what's missing in my life!

Gunjou has an eternal curse of blues. This make me wonder now what does Ruby's room look like, I would love if it is just covered in blue character merchandise and sheer level disgust that Gunjou would have if she saw it.

This is quite literally the last place I expected to run into marxism lol

Marx, Bakunin, and Blanqui are obvious. Lukács is presumably specifically György Lukács. Ropshin is probably actually Boris Savinkov, who used "V. Ropshin" as a pseudonym for his first two novels?

You know somehow I’ve never quite seen that trend put to words and seeing it stated plainly really hit different. It’s so interesting that two super Japanese cultural phenomena would match up like that.

I’ve learned the names of so many minerals and now Marxists thanks to this manga

There is a tag for that, comrade

That is one hell of a catchphrase.

Yo where the FUCK is my marxist tokusatsu tv show seriously let me move to this world, I would die to have a bunch of sentai merch with stuff about anti-imperialism and marxism on them

See how quick the mascots shut down Ruby attempting to talk about "love stories"? Just looking at Poryu and azu's conversations, it's hard to believe Poryu doesn't notice azu's growing feeling for Ruby. And for Ruby, it's quite apparent that both mascots notice she's clingy to azu. But I haven't seen any of them attempting anything to dampen their feelings.

If we draw real world parallel, 百合営業--wiki def: (slang) lesbian behavior feigned by female voice actors (pandering to fans), is quite a thing in idol industry too, especially for male fans. The main audience of the appeal is not yuri fans, but that many people, though don't say it out loud or even think it through, still internalize that being in/coding for a lesbian/yuri relationship don't "count" and they are still NOT considered "taken" or "been in a relationship before", so they stay "pure". (I know I know, just many ways to say the word "virgin".) Squeezing out some more money from Yuri fans is extra bonus too.

Looking through this author's Pixiv, though mostly brainless Yuri comedy, he/she does not shy away from heavier and nuanced topics.

when i clicked on this manga i didn't expect communist power rangers, however i am NOT disappointed at all.

"Better dead than red" is an epic statement, but "better dead than blue" kind of fits this story more lol. What a ride!

Way to ruin sentai with comunism.
Although, I did find it funny.
Also, I wanted a continuation from the last chapter.

I'd watch that sentai show in a heartbeat

You'd have to move to that world all right, 'cause it ain't gonna happen in this one. Contrary to one of Marx's comments, I think that is one sort of rope to hang them that the bourgeoisie would actually refuse to sell us.

But yeah, I would so totally watch this show.

It's the Bizarro version of Samurai Flamenco's credit card sentai team.

Way to ruin sentai with comunism.

hm yes

Someone needs to make these Gebarangers a thing.
