Well, that took a turn!

Instead of Sayori moving into Mizuki's 2BR, Mizuki should plan to move into Sayori's 1BR. Sayori can go to a good college and work on her career, Mizuki can be the housewife. I'm sure that will fix all their problems!!1!

I think my brain got overwhelmed with new information yesterday because I feel more okay about all of this after sleeping on it. Fuck it, we ball

That went from 0 to a thousand extremely quickly

The letters may be like a curse. The ones between Kasumi and Haruyo are probably benign. Sayori mentioned there betting letters before, those were probably more dark. Maybe even a meta-commentary on old school class S.

Mizuki, who may have had nothing going on in her life, found it and make it her whole life. Like a total LARP. Notably she wasnt good at art, but had expensive supplies. And went to an art college even though she apparently hated it. Went to salons to maintain her hair, and used makeup which was against rules, all to shape her image to be the ideal LARP girl. So she transformed her whole life to a sort of fictional artsy dainty girl and snapped when Sayori went off script. Kind of like Niji from 'Our "Love" is Disgusting' by Usui Shio, actually.

Wild hail-mary theory: Kasumi's old friend who commited suicide was also involved with these letters, and because she didnt get her desired school, either because she couldn't be with her 'sister' who was at that school, and/or the failure to get into that school contradicted the character she was supposed to play, she killed herself because of that.

Oh no..

I wasn't expecting this... it's getting way too dark suddenly

Im curios what do you guys think is Haruyo's hair color?

^ Not the slightest idea, could be white, gray or gold.

White like the haruyo rose.

^ What does the text on this pic mean? The author is not updating for a while?

It's an old break announcement from a few chapters ago, don't worry. (I specifically didn't translate it because I thought it would be confusing but I should've just explained)
Next chapter is still scheduled for the 11th. Though Igarashi is planning to move into a new apartment when it gets colder so there should be a break in a few chapters.

^ Oh :3

Kasumi better not fumble her

Yeah recently I checked the author's profile and was really surprised she had silver hair, so I was curious how other readers expected her to be, personally I imagined her blond

onee-sama gon' fuck u up now

What a perfect pair of role models. Box cutter? You're delusional, nothing like that in this sweet and pure manga.

I didn't expect Kasumi's mistake to be resolved so neatly but AriSaku likes to surprise with its drama, in both fun and fearsome ways. Though Igarashi is acting excited about part 2 again and the editor's note more than hints where it's going. We're in the 1st chapter of volume 3 so it's setting the tone for what's to come.

Speaking of surprising, that was a soft 好き but there's no way to interpret it besides romantic love out in the open now. It was a little ambiguous how seriously Haruyo was taking their romance but it clearly means a lot to her, more than just a game. The senpais also casually refer to their S relationship in past tense as if it were naturally the introduction to a real relationship. The only hesitancy AriSaku shows towards lesbian relationships is in Kasumi's self-loathing, which is interesting for being so Class S inspired.

Mizuki's description of secrets sounds an awful lot like there's something she feels the urge to share. I don't completely agree with her - some secrets are either too damaging or mundane to have any desire to reveal - but it's true they're a paradoxical thing. And it's revealing of everyone's characters. Mizuki has her dark side she seems to want to let out, Sayori may be rebellious but she clearly values order and clearing the air over anyone getting hurt, Kasumi bears hers inwards and stews on it to her own harm. Haruyo... well she's happy and that's most important of all.
Please keep her that way.

We're now onto half-chapters, releasing every 2 weeks.

According to the mangaka, Haruyo at the start of the date was like a dog being tricked into thinking she's going on a walk, then taken to the vet.

I hope all the darkness is projected on the senpais here, leave the baby gays alone...

Not explaining the end of the last chapter? I sentence the author to cheeksmooshing.

Author is cruel to leave us hanging with last chapter's cliffhanger! T_T

This was a very sweet chapter though. Haruyo's expressions continue to crack me up. Although based on the last chapter, and the ominous note on the title page, I suspect the next half-chapter won't be quite so wholesome.

Man, this one really has that “cute text/scary subtext” thing down cold, doesn’t it?

I keep thinking we’re going to keep finding out “Oh, yeah, there’s one more person involved” until we come to a serial killer.

Until being proven otherwise, I maintain the whole letter thing is an elaborate scheme by an ancient secret sisterhood of class S seeking to populate the earth with yuri

That was cute, and a nice palette cleanser from the end of Volume 2. Still some sinister undertones, but it's nice to know the fluff isn't all gone

"Shadows grow longer"... I have a horrible feeling about the next chapter.

I'm suspecting that the alumna will want to break MC's relationship. While she acted all excited, I'm pretty sure she is the type of character to be jealous if she is seeing a couple more lovey-dovey than her own couple.

As for the "suki", Haruyo is still not understanding the whole meaning of it. She is still a kid, and her reactions makes me think she hasn't awaken her lust yet, even if she can be very teasing.

Also, I really like how Haruyo have been hurt by Kasumi going behind her back, and how they talk about it afterwards. While there are definitely a shadow looming over the story, those two have a great communication.
