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. ^_^

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.

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.

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.

Sadism is Misa's hammer and every problem a nail

Taisho era girls talking about Class-S... so meta

All this debate about "density" meanwhile I just think it's funny how Komaki had to eat dirt again because she was too stubborn to resist Matsuri's needling. She is so terrified of showing even a little vulnerability that it makes her do the most absurd things.

Edit: thanks rainbow8 idk what I was smoking

[snip] This manga feels so, so much worse than Arioto. As someone who was a little iffy on arioto, going back and reading it now makes it seem vanilla compared to this shit.

I don't think the comparison on that basis fair. Of course this manga (abbreviated as Ubaware from here) is darker for various reasons, but there has been no proper sex here so far, or even nudity. The level of sexual content in Arioto is erotica, but Ubaware is just suggestive. There are situations that are sexually charged, but even when Komaki made Wakaba strip it went nowhere. (Komaki cuddling a naked Wakaba and ogling her body was weird, but neither party was getting off.) It says plenty that the most sexual bit that you could latch onto was the bellybutton slurping, which was a short lived moment that also didn't escalate further. The fact that Ubaware so far contains no sex scenes also means that Komaki has not had the same "opportunities" to experience pleasure like Marika has.

I don't see why anyone would expect Ubaware to feel similar to AriOto or ShuuKura. This isn't really a romcom (the most important difference probably!), and it involves no casual or compensated dating either. The sexual situations are facilitated by a game, but the relationship is not casual, since the leads have a complicated history that goes back to their childhood. This is not a relationship that started with a game or a monetary transaction, instead the game is a toxic escalation of a pre-existing rivalry, where the formerly innocent stakes of the bets become weirder and more sexual.

When Wakaba loses a bet now, Komaki takes her body as payment. In Arioto and Shuukura the "dating" is the commodity and money is the payment, and in Arioto "dating" also forms the "gameplay" of a bet (if the dating simulation satisfies Marika enough to approve of lesbian relationships, she has to give Aya a "refund"). So you could say that Arioto and Shuukura are Pay for Gay, but Ubaware is Pay by Gay.

The feminization will become permanent if the relationship continues, which is an outcome that would be pretty devastating for anyone who doesn't already hate living as a guy, or is at all attached to the idea. I hope for his sake that he isn't very attached to his manhood, 'cause unless he breaks up with Chihaya or takes a vow of celibacy, his balls are not long for this world

Since page 9-10 were left untranslated... It seems like next chapter there will be a tournament? Natori says she will grant the winner any wish, and Diana says if she wins Lapis has to give Natalie-san to her. Is that right more or less?

Hypocrite :(

It kind of feels like Chihaya is rewriting this boy's brain. Maybe it's not mind control but there is... something going on there. Gender dysphoria can cause dissociation which could explain why Hodaka has apparently no preferences of his own. Or he's actually an ideal boyfriend candidate who was custom made for Chihaya. Or maybe the two met when they were younger and Chihaya accidentally brainwashed him. Or his brain was ravaged by some other trauma. Either way, with how much attention has been drawn to his blank slate nature, I will be surprised if it's never explained

I know this is from 2019 but either way it reads as corny after following the series for 10 volumes. Miwa being horny and Saeko being crass can only be funny as a punchline so many times

It's nice to be able to see a bit more of their environment, as Clarice continues the project of trying to rehabilitate the big bundle of repression that is Frost, by teaching her to think like a Stardew Valley player

Okay - so Megura will turn out to be Yakou's sister, and the girl that Yakou is trying to recreate with her doll will actually turn out to be Azuki's younger self from when she was dating Megura. Pretty much 100% convinced this will happen.

I don't really get you, isn't Azuki trying to recreate Meguru from her perspective

Azuki is trying to recreate Meguru, but I was talking about the doll Yakou wants. The doll that Yakou is dreaming of in the latest chapter looks awfully close to a younger version of Azuki, so my theory is that she somehow met or saw Azuki during the period when Azuki was dating Meguru, and that impression is now starting to mix in with her ideal dream doll.

Remu was adopted into Meguru's family, just one year before the events of the story (ch 2). So she could not have met Azuki through Meguru.

They're so goofy God bless

We are so back!!

Flirting and jokes - it's an old formula but it checks out

Bro looks like a giraffe

This is a woman who tries to eat healthy is tempted by a younger girl to eat unhealthy but tasty food. So this is not erotic just because of the facial expressions, but because she succumbs to pleasure, so to speak. Runa is presented with an opportunity to feel good, tries to resist the temptation, then she caves in and does it anyway, which is the basic structure of smut.

The above isn't unheard of in gourmet manga, but this one does take it a few steps further. There's a brief moment of dubious consent when Ichika shoves a takoyaki into Runa's mouth without asking. The thought bubbles are full of suspicious lines like "If you cram that much in all at once, I won't be able to think straight" and "my hands are moving on their own". Finally there is a 'climax' (with an optional afterglow) shortly followed by embarrassment and regret.

I would say it's more funny than hot so far. but I won't complain if they make the jump to the other kind of pleasure.

So they're both living punching bags, one in the sexual and the other in the literal sense :(

If you're surprised by a dominant Madoka, watch Homura's trailer for Walpurgisnacht. There was a cut where for a hot second I thought Madoka was going to shove her thumb in Homu's mouth

She was a baker, she was a miller, can I make it any more obvious?

Yes, because I don't get it.

Thanks for giving me company. Read that comment a few times wondering how I was missing something so "obvious".

A miller in the sense of grinding grains, and since you need grains for bread they're the perfect combination, a miller and a baker.

Yeah. And I was referecing the Avril Lavigne lyric:

"He was a boy
She was a girl
Can I make it any more obvious?
He was a punk
She did ballet
What more can I say?"

I really dated myself with this, huh

so you're telling me this manga is filled with despicable people only huh

like mother like daughter, she learn to be a bitch to the people she hates cuz i do not believe she actually gives a fuck about our MC, let alone love her, because when a cheater tells you they love you they do not nor do they care! they action of cheating is the opposite of love and care, I’m always not gonna buy the garbage excuse her mother give her the right to be a bitch and play with her like a god damn fucking toy

I think some people on Dynasty should not be reading anything other than wholesome slice of life. I find tuning into a series only to be enraged about fictional teen girls kind of a weird hobby.

I also think some of you are a bit too comfortable throwing "bitch" around as an insult. I don't know if you're a guy but if you are then I'm even more suspicious of you.

I'm not your "dude"! I don't know how some of you people still haven't internalized the fact that Dynasty is not a boys' club. And I don't know why I bother to say anything, if I'm immediately going to get condescended to and made to look crazy. I deleted it, screw this whole thing.

Great, you made me check again, and... I don't know, maybe you have premium and blocked the right tags, or a mysterious psychic ability to not recognize dicks and ejaculate. Let's say the warning was for those without such abilities or pixiv premium.

Y'all, do not click the source link if you don't want to see the same girls in very graphic het porn
