Is that bath shot a throw to the scene where Narcissus drowns on their own image?
Kishi style of course

damn mask you dark horse you

Ooooh. The hunter gets the hunted?

I mean, this one seems a little unclear to me? You could interpret it as "Mask groped Kaoru and Kaoru is thinking about it later in the bath" but it also feels like it could be read as "Kaoru fell asleep in the bath and had a smutty dream about Mask."

But I mean, that could just be my brain struggling with the 180 this ship did a few installments ago.

Yeah, I got a little of that ambiguity myself. I think it's real, but I also wouldn't be surprised if it's not.

I think you might be overthinking it a bit. Pretty sure it's just the former, rather than the latter. Kaoru is just still not used to being the pursued rather than the pursuer.

Mask has always been so dashing lol

Yumimi dreaming of her voluptuous Venus

You can pleasure yourself with your fingers but I'm not sure if Nao understood the assignment quite well... but A for effort!

Good luck Yumimi!

You can definitely do a lot more with your fingers ;⁠-⁠)

you go girl, go get your orgy!

Rubinesque.

(Ch 282.2)

282.1: lolz, noob!
282.2: Nao, WTF?!
282.3: oh come ooooon!!

Nao actually wants an harem..

It was the expressions she drew on those three fingers that got me.

Like seriously, that face alone throws in a whole new level of kink- that's pretty hardcore, even for Nao.

(Dots added because apparently that right arrow is how you quote on here so the faces weren't coming out right.)

Given Nao's general proclivities, I'm pretty sure this is more in the vein of public molestation more than harem fantasies.

Are the chapter 282.4 "notes" official from the author?

Those are translator's notes, sorry for the confusion!

Thank you for the Xmas present, Chads!

Lol, thanks Chads and happy holidays!

A lot of people are wondering the same thing. It's understandable.
First, because it's a brutal change for Mask who had established a little while ago that she was happy being friends with cute nicknames and everything.
Second, because it doesn't make sense. If she felt a strong attraction to Kaoru the moment she saw her it just doesn't make sense the way she responded to her advances.
Third, because Kaoru had already dreamed this kind of thing before. All of this is suspiciously extremely similar to a daydream Kaoru had once where Mask admits she always liked Kaoru and was just being cold to her on a whim.
We have to choose between Mask's character making a 180 turn, or Kaoru having yet another dream about Mask. And the former one doesn't seem Kishi's style at all.

Page 7 gave me a little scare. All previous pages were dedicated each to an established romantic couple—girls who are dating now or who (we all know) will be dating in the future. Then page 7 came and there's Kaoru linking arms lovingly with... Honoka. Σ(꒪ȏ꒪) Eep!

Remember y'all, this is a character guide, not a couple guide. ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)

That's why it has "Character Guide by the Chads" in the name, lol.
The parts that start with "From Kishi-sensei" are by the author himself and thus official. The rest is translator's notes.

Why are people saying Ayano and Miyoshi kissed? Do they mean the hug in the Mini-chapter?
