What a nasty piece of work this Reiko is.

I hope this is Citrus but with actually good writing and without the dark haired girl becoming a total softie.

Reiko comes off as a massive hypocrite, arrogant, and a jerk. Unless there's more to her than meets the eye then I would be rooting for the MC to either just end up alone or with someone else.

Wow, that was too easy, she had so much confident that could repeal a blackmail but i also think that will be easy give an excuse saying that lady was her familiar or something.
But wow, take the yuri consort very naturally

Do it, MC. Give the photo of her entering a love hotel with another girl to the school. She won't give up first place? She might not even be at that school anymore to take the test.

Don't fall for that hypocrite. Reiko rubs me the wrong way.

Now excuse me while I go find my eyes, I think they rolled under the bed.

well the "victim" in this case is just a massive hypocritical ass from what we see so far tbf. The gyaru did the wrong thing here, but reporting the morals committee president to the school for compensated dating would be very entertaining, so thats what im hoping for. Besides, I hate "ohohohoho im perfect in every way and am also a narcissistic dickhead" type characters.

Why is every new Yuri so edgy? That's fine if that's what you're into, but there's been such a drought of nice wholesome romances. I guess the arts pretty good though.

I want to see someone actually release the pics for once, but it won't happen.

It happened in Netsuzou Trap, although the fallout from it ended up being pretty mild compared to, well, everything else that happened in that series.

This is exactly what I thought, haha. That start makes it impossible not to think of that… piece of work…

I’m really excited to see what this series turns into! The art is spectacular and the characters are pretty interesting so far! Serina isn’t just some sass-ridden, dumb blonde gyaru and I’ve always wondered about the potential of Mei from C*trus if her storyline explored her character a tiiiny bit more.

Thank you for uploading!

Did I read the same same thing as most of you did?
How is the moral comitee member a horrible, arrogant person when she's just doing her job? And she literally just explained the problem and since the mc wasn't being compliant, she told her to deal with, you know, the ones in charge of the rules in the first place.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying the uniform rules they got going on in Japan are good. It's an absolute shitshow of an oppressive system. We barely know Reiko's character and she's shown not to be very preoccupied with anyone's crap? Like, yeah sure, compensated dating is bad but the mc had some gall to do blackmail in the first place, and was pretty bad at it. She didn't commit completely and Reiko called her bullshit, basically establishing that she's not taking anyone's shit and sealing it with a simple manoeuvre of intimidation.

And who's to say Reiko isn't as deserving of that 1rst place to begin with? These types of people are pretty much workaholics without any life outside their commitment to their goals. We don't know why she's doing the compensated dating. Maybe she needs the money to escape her shitty family; maybe she just simply uses sex as an escape to her shitty monotonous life because she doesn't know how to deal with this in a healthy way.

I like these two characters. They're a subversion of their usual tropes - a gyaru who has great grades and a public morals committee member who engages in some... Dubious activities outside school.

You just answered your question. Whatever her reasons, I doubt whatever she is doing at night would be approved by the school's public morals. And yet, she's still rude and inflexible in her own enforcement of such rules: they're good for the others, but not for her. The fact she's also established to be some rich kid who doesn't even need to work just adds insult to injury, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised that in Japan, like the rest of the world, rules don't apply to rich people as they do to us, mere mortals.

Ngl, you kind of sound angrier that Reiko is supposed to be a rich kid with a bad attitude, and is using her bad attitude as a justification for shitting on her as being rich more than anything else. Is she super arrogant, yes. But is it misplaced, not exactly, she did still earn that #1 spot with all her extracurriculars going on. Her attitude needs to be toned down that’s all and needs to humble enough to recognized as confident rather than arrogant. Not to mention you make it sound as if being “the rich kid that doesn’t even have to work” she isn’t allowed to have her own problems, and we only know that “fact” through rumors so it might not even true at all or her family’s business is actually going under. I’d also like to point out when you mention about Reiko being inflexible with the rules, in that same scene we see Reiko lecturing Serina about the school rules, Serina is also being a complete dumbass and just as inflexible too because like Reiko points out if it’s so hot why is she wearing a cardigan in the first place, taking off that cardigan would do more to cool her off than raising her skirt, but she didn’t even have a good reason in the first place. For all we know Serina probably did that on purpose and those are just finding ways to always butt heads like that to get on each other’s nerves.

I mean but if you want to keep shitting on Reiko for those reasons, I can shit on Serina for being dumb and naive enough thinking she deserves #1 to resort to getting it through blackmail just because she’s in a tight situation, when Reiko who’s juggling several different kinds of priorities and extracurricular is able to earn that spot on her own. Whether or not Reiko is rich, it doesn’t mean she’s undeserving of #1 if she worked hard for it, why should she have to back down from the spot she earned because someone decides to guilt trip her or blackmail her. Both these characters are dumb, not to mention both are unlikeable to a certain extent. It’s just that people know more about Serina’s issues and finds her relatable enough so she gets the sympathy vote since we don’t know enough about Reiko or her deal yet, and from the looks of it, people don’t seem to really care to know because they’ve already up their mind about Reiko without hearing her side of the story or even knowing who she is.

Not sure what your point with comparing the two is, but I never once said a single word about nor defended MC (furthermore, you're entitled to "shit on her" for whatever reasons you see fit); I never said Reiko didn't deserve to be at the top of the class either.
What I literally said -- and the thing that rubs me the wrong way -- was that she enforces rules that she herself don't seem to follow. She (probably) chose to defend and enforce public morals, and yet I doubt any other person enforcing public morals would approve Reiko's own "extracurriculars" -- whatever they may be.
