"Was vocal training always this lewd?!" is the archetypal Tamamusi line.

People that can twist themselves into a pretzel are built different, and it's great haha

I used to be able to do that easily but i hurt my knee

No, no, no... You don't confess to a girl and then go around kissing other girls...

Eh girl don’t reply/reciprocate so why limit yourself. But wait is this whole senses thing like just a fetish?

Karin has the best personality but in appearence she has desvantaged

So it seems that the pattern for the next few episodes will be the interests marinading in desire

This series continues to be hilarious and adorable. Mei is a great MC. I'm still pulling for Riri to "win" but polyamory ending would be very welcome lol. Also Karin has shot up the rankings lately, and Minato is still great as usual. Meanwhile Kaoru has started to act a little more unhinged so she's gone down. I also have enjoyed Maria a lot more in recent chapter, though her relationship with Mei is still the least likely so sorry, teach!

Also, and I'm not just saying this because it's Yuri, but this series has way better harem management than any straight harem crap that's out there. Tamamusi is a fantastic writer.

I feel you, Karin. I'm starving for more of this.

"I'm not nearly talented enough to deserve this talented person."

big mood

where the hell is my cute upperclassman in college that will give out kisses for free

Riri and Karin are the only ones for me. The reason, I guess, is that touches and kisses are my favorite part of a relationship. A girl who only wants to look at me, or listen to me, or (god help us) sniff at me all day long is just... not my idea of a desirable partner.

I had a slightly greater liking for Riri before, but Karin has gotten so much screen time lately and has grown so much as a character that it's difficult not to be rooting for her now. She seriously and sincerely proposed to Mei. She asked Mei to get into a committed relationship with her. Mei gave an ambiguous "I like you but I'm not ready" sort of reply, so now Karin is giving her time while trying to get them to know each other better and become closer. And as she does this, because she's a reasonable girl, she doesn't expect Mei to forswear flirting with other women (since they haven't actually committed to each other yet) and of course she doesn't hold back either from doing the same thing.

And this leads us to the scene in this chapter where she makes out with that cute kohai girl and finds out, after kissing her, that it wasn't all that enjoyable... because she has kissed Mei before; and this, she realizes, has made her lose interest in other girls' lips. Because it's just not the same. In other words, kissing Mei to her was like:

Tbh this is so incredibly ROMANTIC it has totally swept me off my feet and now all I can think of is that I want Mei to stop being a dummy and accept Karin's feelings. (Sorry, Riri-chan, I still like you, but... >_< ) Heck, I mean, come on, that line about rejecting Karin because she feels she's not good enough for her? That's the oldest cliché in the book of romance tropes, and it was as dumb the first time it was ever used as it is today!!! For gossake, Mei, if she says you're the right one then you're the right one, stop overthinking things!!!!!!

Let me rewrite that for you

This series has way better harem management than most other harem crap thats out there, Tamamusi is a fantastic writer.

I can't bring myself to root for Karin, because of her appearance. Yes, she's quite likeable, but I find that she looks too similar to Mei, so I don't really like them together (there have even been panels where I was confused as to who was who for a moment). I get that this shouldn't be important—and it wouldn't be, in real life—but this is a manga, so aesthetics matter to me.

Just what you said. This was without a doubt the most romantic moment in the plot so far. Karin has benefitted enormously from all her visibility in the recent issues. The other ones aren't that well fleshed out yet.

'course their time will come. Harem needs balance, it's the golden rule.

hahaha, this was so chaotic. classic tamamusi. all the demonstration stuff got me thinking back to Stretch! not rooting for any particular character right now because it's so chaotically fun haha.

oh

Poor professor is just trying to be a good professor, and she is last because of it.

Last for Mei or last for the readers? I think older women types usually have an inherent advantage for readers so they don't need as much shading. And Mei has no clue how she feels about anything so I doubt the professor really is last.

I mean, she's definitely turning down the confession next chapter, just like with Karin. She'll probably do that once with all of them, and then we'll get an arc with the childhood crush/friend.

Ahhh I love Riri so much! I really hope she wins in the end. She's just so precious.

"That really felt like you were confessing your love, though!"

HMM YEAH IT SURE DID FEEL THAT WAY DIDN'T IT

I sure am glad you two are SUCH GOOD GAL PALS THOUGH, it's SUPER NORMAL for a girl to think of her lady friend when she's trying to simulate a look of lovestruckness, YES, FOR SURE.

i take back what i said, i'm totally on board with the riri train... she's so cute !

Well Riri is not my favourite but I cant say she is not giving it her all. Attacking on all fronts, knowingly or not.

Just this page... :D

Absolutely the correct reaction. Now say it out loud!

Saying all that while interlocking fingers with Mei, which we all know is the absolutest friendliestest symbol of friendship. Part of me feels like Riri was trying to say something else, but I'm not quite sure what...

She's so adorable though, oh my god.

In any case, great chapter. I really like how the series balances having all the girls around and developing their characters. Also page 108 is perfection. It really spoke to my soul.

I was really hoping, that Riri's manager would notice Riri practically being conjoined with Mei, and especially after interrogating Mei realize what's what, and somehow end up with Mei being part of the photoshoot(s). I'm still hoping this happens.

I'm expecting Minato's proposal to be a singular date rather than going steady, but we'll see where that leads.

Or she's just acting out a scene from their script. You know, to demonstrate. Acting.
