Based Pantanopesca

Lmao that's a girl that's tired of slow progression in yuri manga. Taking things into her own hands, representing the people.

are you kidding me she calls "pantano pesca"? bruh that´s mean "swamp fishing"

The japanese word for "swamp" is "numa," which is also slang for... well, it's sort of equivalent to the "rabbit hole" slang in English; an interest that you can fall into and be unable to escape. This character is a down bad, obsessively yuri shipping fujoshi.

Poor Utena. What began as a fun hobby quickly became a grind. Well that is growing up for you. BTW did Utena come to Azul's temple? For what exactly. To confess some sin perhaps?

Also Sulfur is down bad, dropping hints left and right. Hopefully they dont get any outside help to force things along. I mean what is a smooch or two between comrades.

Magenta x sulfur is the ship i didnt know i need it but now i cant live without

Poor Utena. What began as a fun hobby quickly became a grind. Well that is growing up for you. BTW did Utena come to Azul's temple? For what exactly. To confess some sin perhaps?

She just needs some peace and quiet to sort out her thoughts and feelings IMO. Losing control in a way that hurts her loved ones can be devastating to a domme's psyche, and she needs time to come to terms with what she's done. Which is why I am hoping that Azul is there, as well, to give her a pep talk.

Aw man. This just lifted my mood up to the heavens

I think Azul is perfect because she can for example, in case Utena loses control, take all the damage until she comes back to her senses and manages to control her full power.

But that's only when they're transformed, right now they'll be just girls so she's gonna have to come up with the mother of all Pep talks to help her.

Story structure-wise, I do not think Baiser will ever lose control like that ever again in this story. Chapter 35 was her personal nadir, and while she is still reeling from it, things should start getting better for her from here on out. At least if the author remains as consistently good at plotting as they've been so far.

But that's only when they're transformed, right now they'll be just girls so she's gonna have to come up with the mother of all Pep talks to help her.

They have pretty good chemistry already, so I am confident in those two. :-)

I do wonder if them talking this out will be the chapter that the proverbial cat is out of the bag and both sides find out each other's true identities. Would love to see them all grow closer and bond in and out of transformations, especially Sayo and Utena (personal preference there, don't mind me).

Sulfur is best girl

^I'm always wondering what the hell is going on, too. I just can't keep up. Go to bed, old man!

I'm hoping next chapter (or at least soon) we either have Sayo or Utena learn of the other's identity, or hell even both of them learn. IMHO it would feel about right at this point of the story and personally I'm a sucker for when opposing characters know secret identities and don't know how to process or deal with it

Plus with those two are the perfect pair of the cast who could learn that info and not go full berserk on the other

LMFAO

whoops, surprise smex!

I have a lot of feelings about this chapter that I'm not sure how to articulate. I'm even more concerned that these new salty bitches know EVERYONE'S civilian identities after this and the suspicious framing of Shio and her starry eye alongside Utena's walk into the background.

The first volume from J-Novel Club is now available for purchase:
https://www.fakku.net/hentai/gushing-over-magical-girls-vol-1-english

^ Didn't expect it to actually show up on Fakku, but certainly nice to see it there, especially if it gets more people to read it. :D

^ Also available on Bookwalker as well

Wonder if there's a chance for a physical release in the west.

There is a french one, up to Vol.4 as for now

Sulfur turned into jimmy huh? Yep this all is falling into place, pretty soon magenta is gonna grow a sock from her head too

That was a interesting one.

I wonder how people would react if this ever got an anime adaptation.

Oh hell yeah

gosh this manga is actually just so full of wisdom. Like, yeah, the key to having a balanced attitude it not to have different parts of yourself suppressed but to bring them out in appropriate measure to the situation and have them inform each other.

I also love how this fits with the framing of her unfortunate transformation as a domme losing control, and needing to so some soul-searching so that she can reach the far shores of kink while also keeping things safe and on-track. Very cool.

I wonder who the “she” the two parts of Utena refer to is, though…
