Spoiler from about Urumi Runa from the LN:
Seeing her grinning face really makes me think about how it's going to look later. In an ... excited sense? I'm not excited, exactly to see that face so messed up, but I'm looking forward to the dramatic moment and aftermath

Im annoyed that the tall girl became such a plot point by sowaro just wanting to keep to herself. Always frustrating when conflicts arise in a story due to someone unnecessarily withholding information...

Uruma Satsuki being there wouldn't stop being a plot point if Sorawo told them, the drama would just be different.

The bit about Sorawo keeping quiet about the twisted echo of Uruma Satsuki stalking them from the other side hasn't really been an external plot point so much as it has been a character-building exercise and source of internal conflict for Sorawo.

I'm not sure I would describe her actions as completely unnecessary either. We've seen just how dangerously fixated or even outright obsessed both of her partners are with Uruma Satsuki so there are some solid arguments for why it might be dangerous to throw fuel on that particular supernatural and emotional fire. It's true some of Sorawo's motives are a bit selfish and jealousy driven and this decision could eventually come back to bite her in the ass, but spilling the beans could have been even messier and more problematic.

Agreed.
It's annoying mostly when there is lack-of-communication-drama, but this is so totally justified story and character-wise. It's actually really a good plot point and interesting that Sorawo doesn't share.

Yes, it's interesting how the orientation can change how you see am image.

True, most images look better with lesbians in them, for instance

Haha, that's how I took the word orientation out of context of the chat above, lol.

Why isn't that the dream she mistook for reality and got hung up on?

Gah! So. Freaking. Adorable.
I love these two, and look forward to more open communication and progress in their relationship.

Seriously, who would not fall in love with this woman?
I just don't understand why she picked Kaede, of all people. At least Kaede is making some improvements.

Other manga writers, take note: this is the correct kind of interruption. What had to be said has been said, we didn't build it up and then have someone come in to ruin the moment, it was just like, moment done, incoming interruption.

Everybody is like, "underage"?
And I must admit, it crossed my mind for a moment as when Lily died is a major plot point to her story.

But I'm also just like, these characters are from a comedy about zombies who literally fall apart at the most inconvenient times, so all I can think during their sex is, something's probably going to fall off (I was thinking skin sliding off, but there's also the obvious).

This was a really unique way to do the "childhood promise" thing.
She was both right and wrong about marriage being the promise!

I think we can all say, after reading this manga, that underwear has truly changed us all...

Asumi, all the girls want you, you clearly can't choose just one.

Hmm. I stan this friendship. Although Satou feels she needs to be needed, I hope very much she can get over that before getting into any kind of relationship.

I find it funny that this whole chapter was basically just to confirm everything people had already been discussing in the forum as fact.
That, and confirming the most adorable kinky couple.

People's reactions here are quite concerning. When reality comes up against a perfect fantasy life, there are tantrums galore.
I mean, it's good that none of us have to make this kind of tough decisions in our lives, but portraying at as "forced to have babies" is extreme and evidence of your own non-realistic view of the world. Sometimes duty comes against love, and the fact that you refuse to even entertain the idea that it might be necessary shows that you have no understanding of duty, everything in life is just about how you feel, or you'll be melodramatic and attack mercilessly anyone who might have a simpler view of the world.

As I said, we have no such "duty", so it's hard to understand, but not everything in life is so simple that it's like, love or nothing.

With what little experience she has around social stuff, it 100% makes sense for Mitsuki to want to avoid conflict at all cost, even if it means self effacement. Let's see if Chizuru will be mature enough to recognise this and realize that taking the tickets won't make anything actually better in the end. That or as many people said, Mitsuki could turn on her accidental charm again and just break all of Chizuru's resentment that way :P

I'd really like it if Chizuru would realise from this gesture that she's throwing an irrational tantrum and refuses the ticket and instead apologises.
Sometimes all they need is to realise the other party is a good person and then feel bad about being jealous.

Oh no, the story about high school kids involves some of the friends feeling frustrated that they're not spending as much time together as they used to. Time to piss and moan about it on the internet because they mildly inconvenienced the romance in a way that will no doubt ultimately advance their relationship.

Yes, that is definitely the essence of people who complain about "drama" constantly, on every single story.
I remember recently having a rant about this because my thought is it's based on things being episodic. Could you imagine in the middle of a novel or a movie, people needing to complain the second any drama happens? lol.

Surely even then there would be anti-theft measures in place, at least to avoid her getting "misplaced" during delivery?

I think the placement of the reader might constitute an anti theft measurement

The placement is why you guys are even weirder for not letting this go as a potential plot point.
1. No one else knows it exists, and she isn't going to tell them, they're not her master.
2. How do you think they're going to get in there without her consent? She's not exactly going to lie down and just let them do it.

Alright...we're getting to the goody part~ I wonder if Shina finally confess, what would be Mimi's reaction? Somehow I feel like Mimi would just answer she loves Shina back but like playfully and not romantically. I will have to wait for the next chapters to find out. Fufufu~

I dunno, Mimi was awfully flirty with the "I want to remember your eyes" and such before giving the kiss. Maybe she knows a lot more than she lets on about emotions.
... or maybe not. It is Mimi, after all.

You know, whenever there's a magical school (cough, Harry Potter, cough), I think: these kids should be learning actual school things, not just magic.

And with this school, my thoughts are the reverse. Why the heck are a bunch of soldier kids who are definitely going to die before they even become adults learning things like mathematics? Maybe if it was things like officer training, I'd understand, but wouldn't their time be better spent doing drills, playing sports, maybe even just enjoying art and literature to make up for their short lives, instead of putting them through dull school things? (I note they were learning history, I think that's a good thing though).

I appreciate the amount of effort that went into this WTF-ery

Hmm. As a gloomy person, I guess it depends on the level of your gloominess as to how they affect you, I think I'd be okay.
Of course, no one cheerful would ever want to spend any extended time with me, so I have no way of testing this.

Oof.
She really does need to buy more time. Good plan.
The girl needs therapy, not someone else to "need" her so she can keep on living.

Good. Thank you for this comment. Instead simply tearing down the self-harm aspect. Seriously, even if it was introduced suddenly, such things are never obvious from the get-go. Real suicidal tendencies are normally hidden by the individual. Even more so in ones like Satou's case, again, concealing such thoughts from others and bringing it up casually. Very, very common.

I don't know if you're referencing what I said with your comment of "simply tearing down the self-harm aspect". I'd like to state that's not what I'm doing, I think the self harm aspect is so far not well handled, and there's some tonal whiplash in this series that in my opinion doesn't help that. I am VERY aware that suicidal tendencies tend to be hidden, and it can come up in real life unexpectedly. It's due to my own life experiences that I personally don't care for how this series has handled the subject so far. I think the subject is very important and I have no intention of tearing it down, I think because it's an important and difficult subject that it needs to be handled well.

Edit: To clarify further I think the way this came up to me at least feels like it was added mainly for drama, while not handling the subject in way that feels tactful, and the way it's been responded to isn't well handled so far. The tone of the series feels often like it doesn't handle a lot of it's subjects very seriously, which so far has been "okay" for the most part, but with the introduction of suicidal tendencies I feel like it doesn't fit the tone or the story. It could be handled in a meaningful way as we progress further, but so far I'm thrown off and not a fan of it's inclusion for this series personally. Again all my opinion and I have strong feelings here because I think the subject is important. I also second the notion that getting therapy would be important for her, however I unfortunately can't see the series including that and that's part of my issue currently.

Hmm. I don't fully agree with you. The reason it's weird and tonal whiplash is that it's not the MC. We haven't seen much of Maron/Satou's inner workings, and I don't necessarily think it's important to set up a lot of detail in a side character (even if it's the love interest). It may not make you feel satisfied, but this story really hasn't been an in-depth exploration of anything other than the MC's scumminess, and I think it's unfair to expect it of the story just because there's serious subject matter here.

Oof.
She really does need to buy more time. Good plan.
The girl needs therapy, not someone else to "need" her so she can keep on living.

I was like,
Oh no, .5 ? I'm so obsessed with this story, I need more plot!
But then this was the .5, so ... not mad at all.

I am pretty sure Yvonne is supposed to die in every route (except her own, natch), since that's how it usually goes for a villainess in this kind of game.

Pretty sure we've already been told that this is not the case.

I'm pretty sure of that too. There's an "exile ending" after all. The one that Yvonne originally thought she was just on and was free of the heroine before Elsa chased her down.

Well, she did say the endings were not exclusive so there was still a possibility to pile more on the exile ending, but at the same time, she's also repeatedly confirmed her motivation for steering Elsa on a suitable route to be that this would free her of the villainess role. And once that's done, there's no reason for things to get any worse for her, even less for her to die.

The only reason more endings could pile onto the exile ending was because Elsa had followed her.
Without Elsa, the exile ending would have just been her villainess ending.
