I don't think literally becoming music is such a good idea...

everytime the two from girl's last tour show up I'm just sitting here like... Especially with the place being just fully revealed to be a simulation... This place has to be an afterlife of some sorts.

Plot twist, this entire series is just a particularly detailed dream Yuuri is having after she and Chito found that alcohol in Girls Last Tour.

Oh wow, thanks ... This might sound boring but I needed some footing already or to move on from all this hmmm liberty, like it's interesting to explore a world where almost everything is possible but my mind goes to the possibilities and details and it's surprising how quickly everything could turn apocalyptic, like Hey! lets play chest but in 0 gravity and instead of the pieces, we use living animals, but they're not real, they're actually cake! wuooooh lets make a black hole!

The fact that everything is still hold together is only because people are too chill about it, specially the protagonist, but I don't know how long my brain could take this.

Holy schlamoly, this is boring. I mean, I am all for some surreal reality-bendy material, but this looks like the author had an acid trip and then decided to make a manga out of the bits and pieces they managed to remember. It all just happens, every time a plot seems to start it gets dropped the next chapter, and it doesn't help that the two main girls have the personality of stale milk.

The only reason I kept reading is because I like Girls' Last Tour (apart from the ending), so I kept hoping something interesting might happen at one point. But it just doesn't.

Hmmmm

I knew this world was one step away from chaos, but what now? we're going too deep!

The simulation receives a dangerous upgrade.

This manga has a strange liminal atmosphere. I like it.

That part with the cylinders felt like something out of a Junji Ito novel

There has been a subtle but deep underlying tension and darkness beneath the cute surreal surface of this story since its start. I think we are basically watching an ongoing apocalypse in some sort of afterlife or matrix-style collective simulation. The catastrophe of complete freedom. The very same walls that bind and restrict us are the ones that also define us for better or worse. If you tear them all down... what are you left with?

This being Majime, I'm pretty sure she didn't need to be influenced much by that wedding, if she was at all. After all, it's what she's always aimed for anyway. :D

This has become mind-bogglingly abstract. As far as avant-garde art manga go, it doesn't get much more experimental than this. It's like trying to interpret the manga equivalent of a yuri Dali painting.

Not just did Sumida-senpai want to draw Sensei, she wanted to draw Sensei naked. Just saying.

Those two have always kind of shared a mood when they are together. It's cute.

Well now she done goofed. Hard.
Majime will most likely be able to forgive her but, more introspection and maybe a tinsy bit of drama beforehand.

On one hand, the changed world is what finally brought them this close. On the other hand, it's also what caused this trouble...

Was certainly nice to see this series suddenly reach the NSFW tag, though.

I didn't actually expect their relationship to develop much further than it was- Majime being genki and excitedly declaring her love for Shimeji while Shimeji just doesn't reject those feelings, implying that she might feel the same way- but this turn of events is certainly appreciated

I loved GLT and I enjoyed the way that Chii and Yuu loved each other without that love being strictly defined or labeled because it fit the vibe of the story, but the idea that Shimeji and Majime will now likely end the story in a real romantic relationship makes me super happy.

That is, if nothing tragic happens, but even then I love bittersweet tragedies so I'd even be happy if one or both of them die as long as it's in each other's arms
