Sexy Commander!

I hope that it will end up being character development on Rika's side and she brushes him off herself. And yeah, kinda tired of the cliche bad guy scenarios.

Though from perspective of someone who is not reading the manga and does not know she doesn't swing that way, he isn't even bad or scummy, dude's doing what the gathering is intended for - trying to hook up with a girl.

I see it in Het stuff from time to time, but it is definitely more common in Yuri.

It's the persistence that's scummy. Talking is fine, but grabbing her arm and being like CMON BB let's go fuck is very very very bad.

also figured that'd happen cute

Definitely needs an idiot couple tag. Oh well. Love hotel detour should patch things up nicely.

Well, Captain Eyeless didn’t become Captain Toothless like I wanted, but he did become Captain Speechless, which I guess is sufficient.

Look, sometimes there’s just something you really want to try out, logical alternative or no. It’s like going out to a restaurant when you can make the same thing at home. Why do it? Well, sometimes you just really want to go to the restaurant.

There's several videos out there on youtube about Japanese love hotels. Compared to regular hotels, these are built different.

Japanese walls are thin ^^;

Why eat out when you could cook at home for cheaper? Why go to a theater when it's cheaper to rent and watch at home? Why go to a concert when just buying a cd is cheaper?

Sometimes people want to spend money on a different experience than they can get at home.

And everyone has learned a bit more about proper communication.

I actually love that Rika wanted to make Natsuko jealous. She's not so above it all. It's OK to act spoiled sometimes. (just don't make it a habit)

Adorable. ^_^

I love this idiot couple, i wish them the best even though they make me want to punch a wall sometimes.

He first tried to pressure Rika into drinking. Later, when Rika was trying to leave, he grabbed her arm and tried to make her leave together with him. Even if mixers are intended for hookups, Rika didn't show any interest in him at all before she tried to leave. She was also obviously scared when he grabber her arm, and even said no, but he didn't let go of her arm until Natsuko appeared.

He was creepy, scummy, and rapey, regardless of Rika's sexual orientation or relationship status. Showing up to a mixer does not equal blanket consent to sex with any and all other participants. He either failed to realize that Rika was not interested in him, or he simply didn't care either way.

Not every goudo konpa / goukon i.e. mixer is a hook-up mixer: usually, that's a yaru konpa / yarikon i.e. hookup party:

Here Sugiyama and Tamamin tell them the goukon they went to had two boys who had chuunibyo lasting into high school and the other two were treating it as a yarikon

Akko was gotten drunk with kahlua milk and almost lost her virginity in a drunken stupor because, apparently, Sugiyama and Tamamin didn't give her the lecture they gave Mari. Also, Akko isn't confident about expressing opposition, and seems to accept that as normal, she even gives Mari kahlua milk.

Arguably, the guy at the mixer Rika went to was like the two more mature guys at the goukon Akko and Mari were invited to, which Sugiyama and Tamamin went to in their place.

Also Morinaga Milk is of my generation or a little later, so things have tightened up since then, even for college-age women.

As someone who doesn't drink, the way they approach alcohol is still pretty cute. Drinking at a party sounds gross to me, but drinking while cuddling up with your partner sounds nice :)

Well, it seems chapter 28 is the end. I bet there are a few more chapters for a time skip.

Like the author said it was the end, or it just seems like the end? Cause if it's the end, dang, I was hoping for more

Who told you that? Chapter 29 just got posted.

I was confused on why they were looking at panties when they were supposed to be buying bras, and then I remembered that some(most?) people actually match what they buy.

Just chiming in to agree with the people who recognize the guy at the mixer was being creepy/rapey. Even if it was a mixer to hookup for sex, as soon as she said no, he should have respected her decision.
