The comparison with wrestlers is certainly an apt one but at the same time, I feel that is underestimating how much influence the actresses have over the character and overestimating how much they're committed to the kayfabe. Most of the girls have dropped the idea of their character and are playing themselves to different degrees every time they stream.

@FluffyCow Well, I was mostly thinking about how that list perfectly depicts the way each girl shows they care for the other. Calli is someone who lets her actions speak for her while Kiara is the type that wants to be continuously talking with others to show their appreciation and to feel appreciated. Thus the misunderstanding from Kiara's side.

They've both said that the whole Takamori thing is something they came up with on their own and that management liked it so they (management) started to push it officially.

And now that I went back and read the list, is pretty curious that the one putting the most effort with her actions is Calli while Kiara is the one pushing it in-character. No wonder Kiara feels that Calli doesn't miss her now that she left Japan.

Personally though I do believe Kiara would be more than happy to actually date Calli

Anytime you see claims that Kiara and Calli aren't besties IRL just think about this:

Calli not only had a Kiara reference in her debut song, she also has animated and narrated Kiara's intro short, she animated Kiara's first MV and even has a members only emote for Kiara

They hanged out a lot when Kiara was in Japan and were each other's confidants

Went on a spa date together shortly after debuting

Calli spent thousands of dollars to take Kiara on a week-long vacation, just the two of them

Both made valentine chocolates for each other

Calli hand made matching bracelets for them after Kiara jokingly suggested it on their last off-collab stream

Per Kiara's own account, Calli was incredibly clingy and depressed when she left Japan

And all of that is just what has been publicly said on stream. You have to be a special brand of jaded to believe all of that is just a very elaborate play to squeeze money from the viewers.

Well, Calli does have a thing for strong women able to kick her ass, sooooo....

Very important phoenix lore from the woman herself.

Thank you.

I recently proofread most of the first volume to try to try to make it more enjoyable to read, but it's still pretty awkward in spots. The original translation was genuinely incomprehensible in spots, and pretty rough overall, so it took a ton of time to try to get it up to a more readable standard. Not sure if you read the original or my version, but if you read the original, you might find my version more enjoyable.

I would be very interested in reading your version, how can I find it?

Marika is so straight that in three chapters, tops, she will be eating pussy like a champ.

I really love the detail of the bracelets.

I'm so confused about the beginning of the chapter...

I believe she was studying at Harumin's house, in their swimsuits to try and get the impression they were at the beach and not stuck at home studying. The title page is just a fantasy (or maybe a peek of a future chapter)

I love this series so much.

Prime reaction material right here

Here's another fanart allegedly made over an IRL photo of them

Word on street is that this was drawn/traced over an actual, IRL picture of Kana and Sukoya.

Harumin's grandma is quite an interesting person.

Was hinted before that Iori knew the editor?

^Looks like Die Hard

So is it over? Well, that was rushed at the end. Cute series tho.

Kiara choking Calli with her sausage

For reference, this art was inspired by Kiara's impromptu gay song after getting her Ukelele

Kiara's call during Calli's birthday stream was so cute.

That background felt a bit like it came out from nowhere.

I can't believe that Harumin and Matsuri are adopting Inori.

Yuzu done fucked up.
