I think I'm going to need a spinoff series based on this group of side characters. The dynamic seems like it could be entertaining.

^Maybe I'm looking at something different from y'all? I'm on desktop, no premium and not signed in, so no block on tags. 271 images and maybe 5 have a male in them, and none of them show the male's body: https://www.pixiv.net/en/users/6210083/illustrations

There are a handful of het pics on that first page, though not all of them are obvious from the thumbnails.

Ah fanfics, the world of shipping never had a better blessing.

Is this based on a specific fanfic, or do you just mean in general?

I can't help but notice how, for most of this chapter, Koga is mostly under the umbrella and Aya is just completely out in the rain

I can help but notice that the first account that followed her is named 8ha7na5ko3san and I can't help but wonder if a certain ghost might make an appearance. I also wonder if those numbers have any significance I'm missing.

I have a suspicion this isn't Precure

...

I did notice that tag, but I just saw the "Something"-heart names and jumped to Precure, which is extra silly, because that's not even the naming format Precure uses.

Good job me.

... Are the Precures Hollows this season?

Why are there so many Touhou characters with similar sounding names that start with Y? Off the top of my head there's Yukari, Yuuka, Yuuma, Yuyuko, and Youmu and I'm pretty sure there are more.

Ok. I'm familiar with Lovely Labyrinth and her Knight, but what's the backstory with these two?

This aged so badly with the school shooting part :X

I haven't actually played the game, but considering the first episode came out in 2023, I don't think it "aged poorly" so much as it's commenting on an ongoing issue for the US.

Is there some event going on where they all lost their memories?

Bugger me, Chapter 100 is right around the corner. Also, does Kei's getup meet school regulations? Given how strict Japanese Schools can be, I reckon Mitsuki's attire is pushing it. Even though she looks so boss.

I vaguely remember a manga from a while back where one of the characters wore the opposite gender’s school uniform by abusing the loophole that their school’s regulations only required the students to wear “the” school uniform, but didn’t specify if it had to be the boys’ or girls’ one.

A few years ago I read an article about some Japanese schools intentionally changing their regulations like that in order to become more accommodating for trans students. Some schools went even further by only requiring students’ school uniforms to consist of the approved items, so students were free to mix and match as they wanted. Apparently, the girls’ blouse and blazer with the boys’ pants became a popular combination for girls in winter, to the surprise of absolutely no-one.

Revolutionary Girl Utena?

I just realized, her demon form at the end looks incredibly similar to the demon Sulleta design from this artist:

So, are we starting to see the start of an extended yuri-hetalia universe?

This chapter seemed less coherent than most of the others.

... I like that shirt. I also liked a few of Nina's outfits from her performances and I'm kind-of curious if something similar can be found for every day in the US.

Clearly we need a version of this where the Japanese girl is the leader of a sukeban gang and the Korean girl is their equivalent of moe.

Those kiss marks are a lot less appealing when you realize they're supposed to be pudding and not lipstick. It strikes me as very sticky, and not in a good way.

Something about the girl in front's face doesn't sit right with the rest of the art. I think the issue is that all the scenery is extremely detailed and realistic, but their bodies are more stylized and then there faces go a step further into moe short hands. The end effect is that it looks like they were pasted onto a photo and then their faces were pasted on to their bodies, but none of them actually belong together.

It might also be that the scaling or the positioning is a bit off, because it's much more of an issue for the girl in the front, but it's not like the other gir's face in drawn in a more detailed style.

Does the middle background character on the second page look like some sort of evil clown/jester to anyone else? I think it's the combination of the smile and the two dots on her cheek. It's probably nothing, but she just stands out a lot more than most of the other background characters and I wonder if she'll become an actual character at some point.

Why does Angewomon have a dragon half in this?

The "Pride of a Magical Girl" portion of Azul's mind seems FAR to large.

Why this ship is athing?

Because card game designers are insane.

I feel like this is calling out some segment of commenters, I'm just not sure which one.

^ Me, but with video games that only make my already big backlog bigger
