That was 120% definitely a confession!

Don't be silly! It's not a real confession unless they turn towards the audience and say "We are now girlfriends." Their feelings are just S U B T E X T, and as we all know subtext is absolutely meaningless and reading between the lines is illegal!

Looks at avatar . . . um, I take it you're a Tara & Beverly fan?

I can't possibly imagine what it could be that made you think that. There's nothing unusual about my avatar, it's perfectly normal and totally unremarkable.

(I do enjoy the comic, but honestly I would have used this no matter what the source was. It just never stops being funny to me.)

I'm cool with their new ex-enemy, tanuki mascot. But, it kind of feels like they should've gotten friendly with each other like a few chapters after their fight, not 9. He just shows up and is like "Yay! Cooking time! Uh-Oh! Hinata's got a cold! I should get her sister, Mikage, to help."

Did she get lovesick or something?

I have no words for how much I LOVE the chemistry these two have. My god. Just. Kiss. Already.

I’m so here for this urban fantasy yuri slow burn to the point I’m almost delusional enough to start begging on my hands and knees for an anime

YES why do none of the good manga have anime sobs

Well, ballsacks sure are convenient, aren't they.

Naori is always ready and alert. I love pretty much every new character that this series introduces.

Izumi Curtis, is that you?

neat lil konami code reference there

it is so charming how naori always standa up for her girlfriend

pg 16, "seem to be problem" -> "seem to be a problem"

Hope Naori gets to punch the doctor by the end of this.

Everyone treats the ogres like evil creatures - even the ogres themselves - but we've been shown nothing but normal humanity from them: some are good, some are bad, some are just following what they've been told, some are rebellious or just confused. It's so sad every time they're treated as sub-human when they're just like humans.

So we had Naori protecting Hinata last chapter--now, Hinata protects (or wishes to protect) Naori. Hinata refuses to be one-upped when it comes to caring for her SO! Also more Naori drinks to save the day!

Mikage needs all the help she can get. She's not learned to think for herself yet. Unfortunate. Luckily, Naori is such a friendly and attentive person that she seems able to inspire and befriend ogre and human alike.

It really is Naori and Hinata vs an entirely archaic and regimented way of thinking and behaving. Pretty much everyone they meet, human or orge, is suffering to maintain a status quo that was settled so long ago. It really is a battle against traditionalist thinking, and they're the two nails sticking out, while everyone tries to hammer them back down.

Please (never) do that ballsack gag again...

That's particularly striking considering that legends about the oni are often just retellings of stories about the ancient Japanese fighting the Emishi.

also for an asshole, that oppression line from the doctor went hard

If you wish to learn more about the power of Tanuki ballsacks, I suggest the 1994 Studio Ghibli film Pom Poko. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pom_Poko It's got all the Tanuki balls you could ever wish for. (and stunning animation.)

I can't imagine why Disney didn't localize this one. Truly a mystery for the ages.

They did, actually. In the English dub, they call 'em "raccoon pouches".

supereffective

Yeah for the effect it has, the cocktail is aptly named. Hinata better look out though because her bartender is getting to Mikage's heart by going through the stomach first.

I wouldn't have minded if they kissed.

She's gonna have a rough time walking that off, for sure but good self control. Can't touch Hinata's lady, even while drunk and under an aphrodisiac. They've all sort of packaged Hinata and Naori together as couple already and Mikage referred to that a bunch here.

Loved her protecting Naori for Hinata's sake and it was nice hearing her refer to and thank Hinata throughout the adventure. Hopefully Mikage will continue to be an ally. Sometimes her plans and allegiance have seemed iffy.

Never would have expected them to defeat the monster by giving it an Orgasm, but this series continues to surprise me.
