I’m actually disappointed with the twist being “oh you corrupted her with leftover magic” like that instead of being related to her character subconsciously like how people had been suggesting and theorizing to now. There seemed like there could be a lot of potential there but this seems pretty boring compared. Combine that with her not even remembering and it seems like (hopefullly just for now) this isn’t doing anything as far as her character is concerned - for all intents and purposes a new character might as well have shown up.

i understand this point of view but i'm willing to give the mangaka time to see what they have planned. they've earned my trust at this point that they'll take arc setups in interesting directions. i suspect the upshot of this arc will be more that Magenta has to learn to accept her repressed desires to stop them from taking control and going wild (which her "corrupted" La Verita state represents).

as for the chapter itself, i do find it very funny that Sulfur was the most edgy at the beginning of the manga due to being the violent one, but now just by staying mostly the same she has become the most pure one by default. isn't it sad Sulfur.

best fucking reactions this chapter xD thanks for the new pfp

Tbh, I thought it was obvious that it was Utena's fault since Haruka's new form looked like the one Utena gave her when she stabbed her. So it makes a lot more sense that the reason she is like that is because of Utena.

It’ll be interesting to see which way this breaks. Whether it unlocked a hidden talent, or if it’s part of Venalita’s plan to make everyone stronger and then corrupt their power, somehow.

I love that moment of sulfur being like “oh god I’m the only normal one left” lol imagine being a Tres Magia fan and then seeing two out of three of them turn from prim, proper ideal magical girls into decadent horny perverts lmao.

Well, actually I guess we don’t have to imagine it because Utena is right there lol

This is the top of horny comedy.

Props to everyone who called Utena's rampage corrupting Magenta's La Verita after the last chapter. While it is not as poignant as Magenta turning out to be a self-suppressing pervy domme, the fact that Utena's residual power in her manifested like that at all means that it's probably not far off from her real La Verita, which we will definitely see before this is over.

Holy laction booba powah

I don't think we can say Magenta ISN'T a self-suppressing pervy domme either, but that can manifest in more than one way. I will be very surprised to find that Dark Magenta's whole schtick was invented whole cloth by Baiser's influence!

I laughed for a solid minute at that single panel alone.

Exactly what I was thinking. Knowing this series, it's going to be, "yeah, Baiser added the darkness, but the form it took was based on Magenta's own desires."

... a literal heal slut

I could be having the worst day ever and this manga will flip it into the best day ever. Comedy gold.

man i love this manga i just wish they weren't 14 D: anyway magenta has had the least amount of personality so far so this new focus on her is super exciting since she has had zero development compared to the other two thus far

loved it until around chapter 35 since it just became kinda boring since it no longer supplied what i wanted

huh, always thought vena was a guy for some reason

Poor Utena. lol

huh, always thought vena was a guy for some reason

same

I hope more stuff happens with the baiser and sulphur conflict. Currently the only one with real animosity is sulphur. We need something more than friendly rivalry for some real conflict and serious fights.

I thought they were genderless blobs of magic.

They need some kind of neutral ground where they can discuss things without coming to blows... It'd probably help.

At this point, I think it'll go one of two ways:
1) the magic blends smooth and she ends up halfway between what she would have been and what she is now. (Blend or half-and-half... or the fabled switch!)
2) that bit about how she believes lewds should only happen between lovers was a hint to the eventual solution. (Do your best, Sulphur!)

I'm glad to see Venalita get properly treated like an obstacle!

Utena when Vena is obviously plotting something:
Yeah, whatever don't care
Utena when she thinks that Vena has a solution to get a magical girl to do magical girl things:

Alternative chapter title: "How Baiser got her mojo back". I think the Dark Magenta arc will culminate in a threesome between her, Sulphur, and Baiser, forcing her to openly admit her feelings for Sulphur and to purge the residual lust left behind by Berserk Baiser. Maybe the latter part will make Baiser even stronger?

Priorities. :-)

I just noticed fallen magenta is tanned. hehe

Lol Vena going all "I'm just a silly little magical girl mascot, I don't know how that happened :D (I'm actually evil incarnate)"

Headpats, lewd science, and Vena getting a well-deserved hanging.
