I saw the abuse coming when the sleeves were mentioned, but pg.7 I did not expect. That is certainly a way to catch a reader's attention.

I'll be looking forward to more.

That was fun and funny lol. WTF was with the bit where Meiling was rustling the plastic bag to Sakuya and she barely resisted lol? There was no explaination to that bit - i was like wtf is she meant to be, a cat!? hahaha!

Well of course. She's the purfect and elegant maid. What else would she be? A dog?

There needs to be more goat girl yuri and Guanyu absolutely does not count! She doesn't look anything like a goat!

I'm glad they gave the ingredients for the Affinity mocktail, since I don't drink, and now I'm wondering how it would taste in real life.

I mean, she hasn't killed her yet? That's got to count for something, right?

Why is the title on Dynasty "Pink Diamond's Secret Parlinai", but the title on page 2 is " Pink Diamond's Secret Party Night"? Is Parlinai a word I'm not familiar with?

If you don't already have it, it's in this months Humble Choice bundle.

Am I the only one who found it a bit odd that she went to punch the bubble, rather than the guy casting it?

I see she got a better contract then that other group of cupids going around. Must be part of a union.

Does Suika normally have black eyes?

So Serina seems to have quite a bit of competence navigating other people's hangups and relationships, but she appears to be completely blind to any relationship directly involving herself. I know her denseness is purely for comedy, but even Evie from BBMV would have noticed Amelia's violent fits of jealousy by now. :-)

I think Ch.2, Pg. 8. She's just head empty, full steam ahead, powered by pure gyaru energy at all times. It's not that she's dense, it's just that she never stops to consider things and she doesn't let silly things like social status, societal expectations, or reality impinge on her plans.

How did everyone miss that she was kissing her under water? Last I checked, pool water isn't the most concealing of substances.

Alternatively answer: Yes.

I'm starting to suspect the evil organization is just an excuse for the boss to put women in bdsm outfits.

Go queen!

Also, Fujiyama's financial situation may be less about her performance and mote about the boss seeing an opportunity to findom someone.

No new chapter this week, but we're blessed with this hilarious "introduction" instead:

Is there anywhere you can see the video version that's not Instagram?

I believes in nothing, Itou-san! Nothing! And tomorrow we will come back to cut up the bones!

It's not yuri, but have you read BIBLIOMANIA?

Was that the one with bibliothermic warheads (one of the raddest terms I've ever seen constructed)?

Yes it was and it is.

For me it was always Jasper x Lapis, toxic relationship xD
This one was very cute!

Yeah. That's pretty much my problem with it. I really like the art. I really like the scene and interaction they presented. But I can only see Jasper X Lapis as toxic and somewhat abusive, because that's what it was, but that doesn't seem to fit the feeling they were going for, so I wish they had used different characters or, at least, filed the serial numbers off and called them OCs.

Ok. Grandma rocks, possibly literally, but definitely figuratively.

And honestly, not liking anything is a pretty drab and sad existence - only driven by the avoidance of death and pain. If this is meant as an allegory to something, perhaps it's depression? Given the japanese attitude towards mental health, and how depressed people often excel at hiding their struggles, I can see it as more "monstrous" than merely sexuality.

After last chapter, I'm not so sure that she's being honest when she says she doesn't like anything or find anything cute. After all, if she didn't like anything, why would she have come out of the desert and what was that shining light she was walking towards?

I think she had something she cared about, deeply, but then she lost it. The real question is does she realize she's lying and why is she lying? Is she trying to convince her self? Trying to apply a "Monstrous tag" to herself for Itou's sake? To try and drive her off? To appeal to her love of monsters? To try and put some distance between them to make it easier to eat her? I really want to see where this goes.

The artstyle and the topic, obviously, has me going all shadow star and wondering if the monster will eat all (other?) humans in the end and they live together in an empty earth.

It's not yuri, but have you read BIBLIOMANIA?

So, just to be clear, if Wakaba had a lover, she'd want to have a "sleepover" with them? Either she's much hornier, much more innocent, or much more aware of her preferences than I previously thought.

Also, Wakaba, you're no longer allowed to say say Komaki's confusing after ending your date like that.

Remember everyone, a triangle is a shape formed by two points, which share a direct connection, and a third, unconnected, point that's wondering why it's all alone.

So, Sonia's drunk and Nessa's brain has stopped working. I can dig it.

Been a while since I last saw this ship, in Dynasty or otherwise

On another hand, there's no visible foam in those cups, so I'll assume that's juice and not beer

Would something like mead foam?

Unless I'm forgetting some exposition from the previous chapters, I think one has to go into this series under the assumption that Love (that is, actual mutual romance) is not a thing that just happens in the organic way we think of it but always by the hand of a cupid.

based on chapter 5, where we see characters being clearly lovestruck without cupid intervention, it follows that love is something that can happen, and the work of a cupid is to ensure it does happen.

The "rules" of Love Bullet's universe are being doled out in in small chunks, and from what we know love must be sparked by Cupids. But whether those feelings last or fade away afterwards is up to each human and their interactions with the person they fall for. The author mentioned in her interview that she made a world "where love is only possible thanks to Cupids". So we can assume that anyone who shows up in already in love has had those feelings triggered by another Cupid's love bullet/bomb in the past, which was stated to be the case for Aoi and Daito in Chapter 0's love triangle.

That might be what the author tries to depict. That is not what the autor does depict.
https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/love_bullet_ch05#10
Clearly already in love waaaay before being shot by anyone.(1) (Unlike https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/love_bullet_ch05#5 who is clearly shot from off-panel by someone else).
If those are the setting rules, then the author ignored them (an author, ignoring the setting's rules in the name of the actual story? OUTRAGEOUS!) :-)

(1) I mean, with the whole point of the chapter being that it's going to be Koharu the one that will match that girl and Aki, to say that she has not yet being shot is a safe-ish bet.

It's entirely possible some, or all, of her suitors were shot before Koharu even arrived, as was the case with the first chapter, so there's no need for them to be shot now. Koharu's here to shoot her friend so she'll [i]reciprocate[/i] someone's feelings. She could also create a new suitor, if she feels the need to, but that isn't actually necessary.

Kanna, and her love of explosives, is amazing. There's something that really tickles me about the way she set up that frag grenade and Chiyo's reaction to it. Part of me really wants to see this series get an animated adaptation, but only if it can go to a studio that can do the fight scenes justice.

What dissapointed, i thouhgt sempai will be good on punches but not
And the love story is not finished but it seen will be aimed for a girl too

Keep in mind that Chiyo's been set up as an absolute beast and combat junkie (plus there may be something unusual going on with her), so just keeping up with her her means Kanna's pretty good at qcq; she's just not "block bullets, while mid-air, with your Uzis" good. From what we've seen her real specialty is tactics and exploiting the advantages of her decidedly non-standard loadout, which is exactly how she beat Chiyo here.

What's the context for this?

^That's an interesting perspective, though for me the heart series is the relationship of Cocona and Papika. So they're very much my OTP and are very central to my whole enjoyment of the series.

There relationship is definitely central to the series, but as we learn more about Papika's past, it felt more like she was Cocona's mother, before her memory issues, and the remnants of those memories are what connected them. Once she started remembering her past and Mimi, it felt weird that their connection remained romantic, rather than becoming more familial, and I think allowing their relationship to evolve in that direction would have been interesting.
