Miyata: I told her not to hand that in to the school.
Teacher: It has her approval?

Me: What part of that sounded like approval to you? õ_Õ

The part where she knew, and seemingly accepted, that the journal was being written. She just didn’t approve of it being submitted.

^ Maybe she’s a masochist?

^ I mean, the lemon zest used in some foods is literally shredded lemon peel. Guess they just wanted to cut out the middleman.

Remarkable. You can pinpoint the exact moment her switch flips and her libido replaces any other thoughts.

It's starting to take over the site...

Other than a series or two, new het works pop up maybe once a week. That’s far from a takeover.

You know, at first, I thought the silver-haired girl was doing some sort of over-the-clothes stuff. Looking closer, though, I think she literally just passed out into black-haired girl’s crotch.

Well I'm confused. Apparently none of the events in the past actually happened and the changes to the future just sort happened on their own? At least future Seto didn't act like she had ever met future Nanasawa in the past. I know this story has played fast and loose with the time travel mechanics, but this is a bit much.

My thought is that the timeline might have “corrected,” so that Nanasawa and Seto eventually lost their memories of future Nanasawa but her affect on the timeline stayed. Maybe there’s even a bit of that memory buried in Seto’s subconscious, which is why she so easily believed the story?

I thought Alice was part of the April Fool’s joke like Alice from Resident Evil…
Who is this Alice supposed to be? Aries?…

I’d assume so, but that might be a plot point for later. Trying to figure out who Alice is in a place where they don’t know each other’s names,

^Living the dream!

... One of the most annoying tropes, the cliffhanger from the last chapter + this chapter resolution.
The whole "threaten someone/pretend to be bad guy one chapter, immediate resolution the next one suuucks.

To be fair, it seems like it wasn't actually pretend with how things went at the end. She just stopped because the other girl showed up and her back was turned.

Yeah, it definitely seemed like she only called what she was doing a “prank” in order to avoid the consequences of her actions. She was still behaving as the bad guy for a good while after that. The being said, that might change once she gets some well-made alcohol into her.

Well… that’s a confusing place to bring the story. Gotta say, I’m still hoping for a big heroes/villains team up, but that seems to be growing more and more distant as the fight goes on. I’m not sure why you would take this opportunity to introduce 3 hitherto unmentioned new characters.

That being said, that fight was intense as hell. The visuals were insane, and I’m hoping that sword wasn’t just the end of the fight, and instead the start of a “round 2” where our leads can regroup and take the fight to evil Baiser.

On another note, I’m wondering if the introduction of this new trio means the series has a bit more life left in it then I originally thought.

Blood in the water. Time for a feeding frenzy!

Does make me wonder how close to reality that is, but then, I don't think I really want to know.

It's probably as close to reality as the "foreigners always greet each other like this" kiss

This feels relevant:

I’d honestly be shocked if any of the students weren’t included. Even if they leave some out, it’d be a mistake to leave Marianne out, given her popularity.

sheesh gyaru san has progressed so far to the point of "I want to be with watanabe", watanabe on the other hand...

Give her a bit. She basically just found that she’s a person, she’s going to at least have to figure out how to define the world, and her peers, by more than just manga tropes before she can start worrying about feelings.

Insert kickass guitar riff here

Yeah, the MC doesn't really look good in comparison with Yoshioka.

I'm reasonably sure that's entirely intentional tho. It seems to be something of a running theme in the narrative that her blinkered genre fundamentalism is thoroughly contrafinal and completely misses the point.

Agreed. You can even see the effects her unhealthy obsession on keeping things “pure” is having on both herself and Yoshioka. Not to mention that she’s so busy obsessing over yuri that she completely misses a lot of the issues in her classmates’ relationships. Hell, she can’t even pick up on the fact that she seems like an obsessive girlfriend/creep whenever she tries to intervene and protect the “purity” of the school. It’s pretty clear that she’s not meant to be terribly likable right now.

Personally, I’m hoping for some worldview-shattering revelation that breaks the MC out of her delusions and forces to reevaluate her view of things up to now, a la Emma.

This mom has no redeeming qualities and she's a terrible parent :/ Hope this ends well (preferably with her having a black eye, jfc)

I mean, I can’t say I disagree. To be fair, though, I probably would’ve reacted the same way she did to the phone call if someone were to start one like that. Especially in light of all the maddening phone scams that keep going around.

Well… my prediction flew well clear of the mark there. I was not expecting a temporary break-up suggestion, but I suppose there is some logic in it, given how stupidly stringent Chinese entrance exams can be (not one I necessarily agree with, mind you). I’m curious to see where the story goes from here.

The ribbon might be red, but that’s a green light if I’ve ever seen one.

Rules of nature dictate that there will be blood when standing here.

The ultimate showdown between two tiger moms is about to begin!

Tongtong's mom isn't really a tiger mom. Tiger parenting is about strictness. TongTong's mom is extremely laid back, but also super protective. She's more in "Mama Bear" territory?

Please just take the girl into your house and get her away from her homphobic and grade elitist mother. Worst case is that she just doesn't care, forgets about Xiao Lu and the two girls can go on with their life and love. Best case is that the mom realizes how shit of a parent she is and starts turning around to be a better mother
Though let's be real, is that REALLY gonna happen?

I definitely think "She doesn't care" is false. She's controlling and strict, but she's not apathetic. If Tongtong's mom took her in, Xiao Lu's mom would probably call the police? Best case scenario would be if Xiao Lu's mom straight up disowned her, then she probably wouldn't care if TT's mom took her in, but honestly, I don't see that happening.

I really just don't see her as not caring. She's got a lot of bad ideas about how to parent, but she's also working multiple jobs and taking care of her daughter and their house while her husband is just literally nothing but a wasteful drain on their finances who not only isn't supporting them, but also comes back periodically just to burn through the money in their bank account. She's a big ball of stress, depression, and burnout, and while that doesn't make what she's doing okay, it is probably part of what's exacerbating her negative qualities. The fact that she cares about her daughter doesn't mean that caring automatically manifests in a healthy supportive way.

I'm not sure which way this is going to go. Fact is, homophobic traditionalists often just can't be reasoned with. We haven't seen how far gone she is in this respect, but people get set in their ways under the best of circumstances, and these aren't those.

But TT's mom seems pretty disarming. And while I agree that she's super straight, she might have just the right perspective to be a positive influence?

Call me idealistic, but I actually have a good feeling about this. Despite her many issues, Xiao Lu’s mom does seem to truly care for her daughter. Even her homophobia seems to come more from a lack of understanding than from malice. Whether it’s a meeting of the moms or some other bit of advice, I’m hopeful that she’ll eventually come to see that’s she’s been too hard on Xiao Lu, and that this relationship (even if she doesn’t quite understand it) is truly the best thing for her.

That being said, Tiger Mom vs. Mama Bear would be entertaining to watch. It’s funny, though, I could see the mom’s becoming good friends. They’ve both had to deal with crappy significant others, and each of them seems to possess some qualities that the other one could use a little bit more of.

I come here for a sweet and sexy yuri story and what do I get? An unprovoked attack in my childhood. I am shocked!

Hoo boy, here we go. I’m just guessing right now, but this seems like the perfect time for the heroes and villains to get utterly trounced by what I’m going to refer to as Baiser Unbound, discover the treachery of the mascots, put their differences aside, and combine their powers to save Utena (which will be fitting as she has, in a sense, rescued them by allowing them to discover their true selves).

I have to admit, I had a lot of trouble parsing what was happening in this chapter, but it was pretty cool! I hope Utena gets a happy ending, though...

Same here. Something about the art made it hard to figure out who was fighting who, and who was winning. The broad strokes of this story are pretty cool though

Damn. You know you’re doing something right as an employer when your employees, without prompting from you, go and set up what is essentially an escort service to cover your business expenses.

Well, that ending was botched.

Really it seems weird that the author would drop so many hints at a polygamist ending, only to wind up having her pick one in the end. I can’t help but wonder if the publisher decided to pull the plug on this one, and the author got worried they wouldn’t have enough time to bring Rinna into the relationship, so they just went with the generic end.

Even if that was the case, though, can’t say it makes these last chapters any better. They just felt so rushed to me. Like, nothing felt like it really flowed together, and it seemed like the story was just hitting the usual notes. Can’t say I’ll be giving this one a reread any time soon.
