That was insane.

So like, when she gets resurrected, how will the people who knew her be affected? Aki has spent the last 5 years mourning, so when Koharu comes back looking like she hasn't aged a day, how is Aki going to mentally process that? Like, you can't just easily paper over that with memory manipulation. Even if you make her forget about Koharu's death, she's still going to be 6 years younger than Aki by the time she's alive again. Aki, who knows her primarily from being classmates in school. How is that gonna be rationalized? What about Koharu's parents? They had to bury their teenage daughter half a decade ago, but then she'll be back one day looking as if nothing happened? Mourning isn't something people just do privately, it affects major life decisions. So if you retroactively undo Koharu's death, all her loved one's actions since then won't make a whole lot of sense, even if you erase their memory of her dying. Without her death as context their remaining memories will still be nonsensical.
All this kinda makes me suspect that being resurrected is an empty promise that no cupid ever achieves.

My guess is that that the cupids just reincarnate, not returning to their old lives.

The action was great in this chapter!

Idk, in chapter 7 Kanna mentions that she'll get to know the MC and learn all her little quirks do she can pick her the perfect partner, which i would say implies that she'll return as herself rather than be reincarnated

What a bitch!

She is not a honor player

I didn't notice until now that the weapons can fly, This manga keeps getting more interesting.

On another note, when Kanna and koharu body-slammed the cart with full force, it only moved slightly from the humans' perspective. However, for Kanna and koharu, the impact was much more greater. A passerby even mistook it for a bird. My question is, Are the people around able to feel the effects of Cupid’s destruction, but at a significantly reduced intensity, like 10x less impactful This might have been mentioned in the manga before, but I might have missed it. ^_^

She was just returning the favor from when Kanna played with the rules in their previous encounter.

chiyo is great, what a bitch indeed

kanna even better though with the flying princess catch, nice

We have been introduced the MC, Koharu, her senpai Kanna and Chiyo but the main story still hasn't introduced the fourth character from the one-shot (I forgot her name).

That would be Ena, and I bet the next couple chapters will see her introduced, perhaps as a result of Chiyo's antics and/or shenanigans.

You shoot 16 loves, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt.
Tell Cupid don't you call me, 'cause I can't go
I owe karma to the armaments store.

I understood that reference!

The cupids do have to go somewhere eventually, otherwise their number would grow out of control. Unless there is a cap on new cupids, in which case not all people who die without having experienced love become cupids and Koharu just got selected somehow. Also, given enough time the cupids would get suspicious if nobody could graduate the program or if the graduates disappeared instead of being resurrected in the human world. Though I guess this hole could be filled with memory manipulation too.

One possibility to avoid being discovered after resurrection is that the resurrected materialize with a different appearance from before. Kanna only said "you will be back as a high schooler", but didn't specify further. The fact that their Japanese names have been redacted implies to me that their identities will stay officially dead. Providing the resurrected with a new identity might also be less work and lower impact than memory manipulation on massive scales.

Chiyo you

Shout-out to Sancho Step Scans for their excellent credits pages and efforts to sell the manga. This story is a gem and I'd love to see an anime adaptation.

Im still worried that this manga could still get the axe ☹️

If the weapons can fly, these girls don't know how to make them do it. We haven't seen it happen in battle before, even though there were times where it could have been useful. What you spotted seems to be a weapon popping into existence, which also happens for Chiyo on page 14. Each cupid can probably summon and dismiss their own weapons at will. Since Kanna was also able to summon the same type of pistol Koharu uses, that might be the default weapon that all cupids start with.

On the second point, yes it looks like the cupids can slightly affect the human world without the official weapons if they hit something hard enough. This seems to be the first chapter where this was shown.

I thought it was explained that the goddess of love personally chooses the cupids and that it's not just an automatic thing that happens. If my memory is correct, then there's no need to fear for an ever growing population of cupids. It's a "fill the roster as needed" kind of situation, factoring in living population growth and decline and graduating cupids.

I love this manga

So I have this theory that Chiyo doesn't want to be resurrected or has given up on it. Hence why she doesn't seem to care who she puts with who and spends her karma on expensive things like drones. She seems to genuinely enjoy the cupid life.

Trying to imagine the ways we could get a Koharu x Kanna end game because I really want these two together.

She genuinely seems to like being a cupid, and good for her if so. Considering the era she's from as a human based on the first glimpse we have of her, can't imagine her life was better in any way back then compared to now

This for me dispels the theory that Kanna caused the accident that killed Koharu.
