Wait, where’d the yuri tag go?

Is this like Mute Girl and Her Friend where they backed off on it so hard it doesn’t even get subtext anymore?

I think it's more a case that the series was mis-tagged to start with. I would say at most it's subtext but I doubt it will go full into yuri because romance just isn't the focus of the manga.

If there will ever be Yuri in this, it'll be whenever they handle Akira's new situation I guess.

But I support untagging it for now, I think that's smart. If it turns out to be Yuri later, it can just be retagged then, no harm done.

Komachi is the grim reaper and is pissed she didn't get her death on time, and is basically tormenting her crush/enemy by showing her the butterfly effect of her actions before reversing time and letting Satsuki make the 'right' choice in order to let everyone else live who have died so far. Satsuki will save her again (worst ending is she dies in her place after spending the day helping Akira and co), and there'll be some big, dramatic faceoff where somehow one of their ideologies is forced to stand down.

If I don't get some kind of an ending like that, I'm going to be so pissed because Seo's shit makes absolutely zero sense, and the story is tailspinning into absolute shitsville now.

Been hoping the author has planned something like this since the beginning but I kinda doubt it

I'd say that Ryouko went too hard on making Seo a psycho to break Satsuki's ideals. I was fine with it when it was just her killing Kai since at that point it actually did seem like she tried to be a better person but wasn't left with any other choice because he kept on trying to kill her despite that. It's not as if Satsuki wouldn't be dealing with the moral dilemma of what if the person you saved went on to kill other people. Her turning the school into a death trap just to spite the one person that believed her is jumping the shark. It feels as if it's trying to say that Kai was right all along with he was just an asshole high on his own farts.

Feels like we traded an interesting antagonist for a boring one.

I'm all for pure evil villains, but they still have to be entertaining to watch. Seo just isn't.

Did it used to have the yuri tag, or am I imagining that?

It used to, yeah. And it used to really feel like it was going to have actual gay romance going on what with the scene from when Akari spent the night at Satsuki's house and how Satsuki kept blushing. But then I guess the author decided he'd rather pull a Lycoris Recoil on us lol rip.

chap 75 spoilers
When did Seo even have the time to research, plan, and set up all these kill traps????? And how did these get setup unnoticed?

This has been a pretty huge question for a while now, given she was, even as far as we saw of her own thoughts, trying to be nice right up until the Prez almost strangled her. It's like her choice to give up being good somehow magically retroactively made her evil the whole time, which makes zero sense unless they're gonna get into alternate dimensions or timelines or something.

I really hope this isnt gonna try to pull a "maybe they had a point all along, killing (or trying to) all those misbehaving kids" lmao

Ditto. I can sympathize with the Vice Prez's grief, but regardless of her justifications of his actions, her boss was still a serial murderer. And Satsuki should really put some points into her social skills, so she at least have a retort ready in such a situation apart from "Killing is wrong!" or just glaring silently at her critics.

The comments saying Seo was playing nice right up until Prez attempted to strangle her are incorrect. She's been planning this a while. At least since her talk with Komachi. Seems she decided to kill the Prez during the second attempt on her life.

Right? Idk why the author want us to sympathize with the Prez and Vice Prez so much that you have to give Seo a dumb reason to attempt mass murdering.

Also agree with the other comments that this arc feels weird and a very forced attempt to make us sympathize with Prez despite there being no justification at all, in addition to Seo's turn being literally out of nowhere apparently just to give them a justification which was never present in the manga so far.

It's also completely ignoring the content of volume 6 and going in a completely different direction with no acknowledgement of it whatsoever.

Maybe the author is planning to pull a reversal of the recent events. Or they didn't know where to go in terms of content and wanted to change and spice things up, even though it made no sense with what had happened before. Anyway, this volume has been fairly disappointing. We'll see what the remaining chapters have to offer...

Glad to see I'm not the only one content with that dirtbag biting the dust. He's had no redeeming qualities until now, so I was glad to see Seo gut him.
