Miku is being hella creepy but her observations, about both Anna personally and the dynamics of social controls more philosophically, are pretty much on point. :|

Also random note (ahem) - as a given name Safi ("pure") is masculine though hers might just be a contraction of one of the feminine forms (esp. if her full one is the rather longer Safiyyah which the Japanese might struggle with, idk). It's also used as a family name in the Levant and tribal name in Afghanistan but those are highly unlikely to be relevant as for whatever reason everyone in this series goes by their given names all the time.

Natsu is so gay for Safi it's probably affecting her health.
Also, Safi is a natural. You can positively hear Natsu's mind swerving hard into the gutter and landing with a splash...

^nah there's definitely something very strange going on between the wrist proper and the base of the thumb in particular. Just put your own hand in a similar angle and look at how they orient, and simple tactile examination of the skeletal structure will tell you the thumb essentially starts right from the wrist joint.

^ tbf the "Mattel rifle's" stopgap intro during 'Nam was a trainwreck of multiple different design quirks (most notably the specific form of gas operation chosen and the cartridge primer then in use) and FUBARed communication (namely the troops getting the idea the gun required less maintenance and cleaning when the exact opposite was true) running headlong into the harsh conditions of jungle warfare. While the technical issues were ironed out soon enough it took a long time to regain the lost confidence, not particularly helped by unavoidable association with the widespread public disillusionment with the whole conflict (PROTIP: using conscripts in expeditionary warfare is a Very Bad Idea)...
For modern weapons that were legitimately terrible upon introduction look no further than the justly notorious L85. Took the better part of a decade and Heckler & Koch assistance to fix, too...

^ IRL soldiers pretty routinely used things like swords and bayonets as impromptu spits and pokers - which fucked up the tempering mind you...

I love this manga, but there's something I can't get out of my head.

Are the generals and their leader also humans? Because the common antinoids lack sentience and emotions, yet the generals are very much human-like. And I doubt they're evil by nature (look at Honey San, the other generals and even lame boss sometimes).

Well they keep calling themselves Antinoids and referring to themselves as something distinct from humans so. Suspiciously familiar-looking aliens/extradimensionals/whatever-other-nonhumans aren't exactly a new thing in the genre as far as I know, or "speculative fiction" in general (cough rubber foreheads cough).

I know it's a comedy, but I want to think they aren't evil and will have.a happy yuri life.

As Melt and Kyouka demonstrate the two are not particularly mutually exclusive :d

Funfact about reindeer antlers - not only do the females also grow a pretty respectable set (uniquely among deer) but unlike the males they keep theirs over the winter. This is apparently so they can displace the now sadly antler-less males from prime foraging spots which is helpful when they have a calf to feed.

Love just doesn't work the same way for some people. Sometimes they have others they love just as much, or they won't fall in love at all, or they'll love someone, but never want anything physical. Love is love. Not all love is the same, but love is always love.

How the hell she just brought her senior to a love hotel out of nowhere? That part clearly doesn't add up, and the author didn't bother to try.

The obvious implication seems to be she accosted Sempai shortly after witnessing her leave the gay bar (or whatever) and promptly used the opportunity to drag her into the hotel. Note that Sempai still appears to be wearing the same outfit as in the "busted!" flashback frame...

There are cliffhangers and then there's this ... THIS EVIL.

I've heard the author releases this one page at a time, and it's possible we'll have to wait a year for next page.

In other words: YES, EVIL!

In the grim darkness of the far future there are only cliffhangers

^^ 174 versus 154 cm according to their bios so it's probably not exaggerated by much - Silence is one of the shorter ladies in the roster in general, and the second shortest of all female Liberi, while Vouivres like Saria seem to tend towards the tall end (eg. Liskarm is conspicuously small among them at a mere 156 cm and her bio specifically remarks on that).
