I really like the friendship in this chapter between Utena and Kiwi, they make a great team. I also love how Kiwi is just casually messing with them by drawing and making a house of cards.

Comedy was on point but poor Magenta's suffering really brought things down. Like she feels especially vulnurable for some reason. Some Enormeeta spanking is in order me thinks.

Same, I don't like it when Magenta suffers. ><

Because unlike the masochistic Azul or the defiantly confrontational Sulphur, she is not powered up by violence directed at her. She actually reacts to it how a sane, "normal" person would, which makes her uniquely vulnerable in the world of high-powered, libido-driven magical girls. I am very curious what her La Verita form will be.

Hey, let's not forget that this is the same Magenta who gave us this.

And you can't possibly tell me she doesn't know exactly where these are going...

Part of me thinks the 3 girls represent 3 different methods of submission. There's the confrontational, like the brat or the SAM (smart-assed masochist), which would fit Sulfur. There's the eager submissive, akin to Azul. And Magenta reads as the one in denial. Having desires but not feeling able to express them. That type of mentality is why a lot of people comment about feeling 'free' in bondage and restraints; they don't have to be a "good girl" and operate off of the learned social and personal values they were raised with. They aren't "responsible" for what happens. They can just be free to experience, without guilt.

Ah, but let's also not forget about the cutest mosquito girl ever, even with a proper transparent belly so you can see it when she's eaten full.

Hmmm I don't find it that bad, I think Baiser has been hit harder and with more cruelty "in the name of justice" or by the previous evil lord to the point where she was half dead.

This actually supports my idea; Magenta's totally cool with the idea until Baiser reminds her about the whole "learned values/morals" idea about showing your body off, at which point she starts to turn red.

Don't know if it's nearing the actual ending of the manga. I expect them all to join forces before that happens. Against the obvious real villain.

Holy fuck. I wonder what comes after this. This is some point of no return shit, like a video game would stop you at the beginning of the chapter and ask you to save one last time. We're in serious territory now, and there's no telling what direction it's gonna go.

Is this like, Baiser getting too caught up in her dominant/sadist role and forgetting about reasonable restraints and stuff? Is it about to turn into some dark shit? Or is this more like, she's casting aside the "saturday morning cartoon" thing where she roots for the magical girls, and being truly honest about her desires?

Speaking of which, Magenta's transformation was really kinda unusual. It doesn't seem BDSM-y at all--honestly, it seems kind of vanilla. Which, come to think of it, might be the point. But there's not really enough material here for an analysis IMO.

On the same note, it seems like the overarching plan is finally coming to fruition, with that emphasis on the mascots. Is this something sinister? Is it a fake-out or a subversion? Who knows.

It's been a long journey, but it seems everything is finally all coming together.

I can't wait to see what comes next. What an excellent (early) birthday present!

this chapter feels as if it needed like 10 more pages. A bit too chaotic.

Both it and Baiser's new form are rather flowery, if nothing else.

Magenta's transformation feels like aftercare. Where you make sure everything's alright, comfort in case of emotional imbalance, etc. As for Baiser....black roses is a common symbol of kink. The local group in DC is in fact called The Black Rose. The fact that roses are beautiful, but can have thorns, has them being a common symbol; THE beginner manual from the 90s on is called "Screw the Roses, Send me the Thorns".
