For those waiting on the next chapter, it has been translated, but it seems the author made an oopsy and drew the entire chapter with Pesca wearing her civilian glasses instead of her monocle, so the typesetter is likely waiting on a fixed version to be published before they can finish typesetting.

Wait, so, does Pantano Pesca/Momomori Momo only has myopia in her left eye, if she's able to see just fine with a monocle?

Just gotta say, I'm glad magenta didn't fully lose her naughty nurse transformation.
I personally find that more interesting and fun

Of course her form is super heroic and cute. Wouldn't be a hero otherwise. And "leave that thing to Kiwi," is hilarious; they all know who the couple is and more importantly, they know only Kiwi can handle whatever the current mess Utena has become. She seemed so at piece frozen in ecstasy like that. Kiwi under armed her like a life size cardboard standee. The disappointment Utena had when realizing the old form was still present was also predictable. She really hates heroes not being heroic.

Magenta carrying a banner like a true leader is awesome, I didn't know what to expect from her purified La Verità but I love it, as I do the fact she can enter either form randomly. The author knew Fallen Medic was too good to erase.

On the bright side, the heroes now have a weapon to swap in when they need something to discourage Baiser. Battle getting tough? Bring out the naughty nurse! (too bad it also debuffs the heroes)

Poor Baiser was so happy, but now she has to live with the Magenta gacha... :D

Utena's gravestone will say "She Died Stanning".

Also, I just love how badass Baiser is here. Not a trace of hesitation or self-doubt, just a sober acknowledgement of a bad situation and a unwavering trust in her ability to survive anything. Baiser has found her purpose in life (being the ultimate heel who makes the heroes shine even brighter), so it doesn't even occur to her for a moment not to fight for it. This way, she is actually the mentor to the rest of the cast, inspiring and helping them find their own purpose, much like the lead heroine usually does in other magical girl stories.

Hilarious....Gacha Magenta!

Magachanta?

Kiwi's arc from a caustic minion to official wife has been one of the most satisfying developments in this manga for me. And I say that as an OG Baiser x Azul shipper.

Yeah she's hilarious but I'd say she's been wife since day one. They pushed them from nearly the start and grew from there but yeah it's been a wild journey lol. That fourth wall breaking chapter about them vs the fan was the most I've felt an author speak directly to the audience in a while. Now that I think about it I should reread this; it's been way too long and some of the details about what's happening behind the scenes isn't as clear to me anymore.

It's getting ridiculous, now we have a La Verita based on getrandom()
Also Utena having the same expression as Kaoruko in the last page XD

This is definitely the best way to deal with her La Verita, Fallen Medic was just too good to be a temporary thing.

Also since it seems Magenta can turn the transformation on and off repeatedly, the gacha has unlimited reroll and the others can choose which form she takes as long as they can convince her to switch. I wonder how long it will take for her to find out she has two transformations.

Yeah, that kinda bothers me about these comments (same elsewhere). I mean, not to make this little thing an entire thing, but this simply has nothing at all to do with gacha. It's infinitely repeatedly, at no cost, with what looks like roughly a 50:50 chance. It's as close to a coin flip as something that's not flipping a coin can be. No gacha works like this, anywhere. If it did, they wouldn't be the predatory, exploitive garbage that they are.

Otherwise I naturally agree that it's great we keep both forms. Now of course we only need an excuse for everyone to get both a wholesome and a pervy form; including the "villains" - swapped-roles-arc when? :p

I assume her La Verita is meant to be totally random but the way the chapter illustrates it makes it look like it happens every other use, which would make it entirely predictable as long as she has at least 1 friend with her to tell her to refresh.

Gacha is just the act of getting something randomly, it doesn't inherently carry the negative connotations it has acquired over time.

And more importantly, it's not something we came up with in the comments, it's literally named as such in the manga itself.

Maybe it's simply the way it was presented, but it looked more like the different La Verità forms are taking turns, rather than pure randomness.

I was hoping that the author wouldn't get rid of Fallen Medic so quickly, but I didn't expect Magenta's La Verita to become random. That's a pretty fun solution.

Now that the matter is (somewhat) settled, I wonder what the next major scenaristic element will be. Perhaps something to do with Magia Cy... (re-checks chapter 56) Magia Rouge ?

At least she listens enough to turn it off and on again now?
Utena still has more work to do.
