MORE BLOOD! MORE!

Toku are indeed great.

Appearances can be deceiving.

Hide/leather clothing would probably be the most intricate, given that it could be cut without risking the whole thing starting to come apart. They probably would embroider the textile stuff, though.

Protect the tiddies.

muh heart

Technically both the armed and unarmed kinds are martial arts ("arts of Mars", ie. war), but yeah there's a lot of difference in execution. Though when you get down to it any training is better than none at all...

'Course trying to punch someone in armour isn't exactly a winning game plan. Which is also why modern military hand-to-hand training tends to emphasize grappling rather than - as one commenter put it - "breaking fists on helmets".

I mean, it's not that terrible an idea if you're wearing gauntlets yourself. Could knock somebody off-balance.

Kase-san in Yamada's hat.
I think my heart's finally giving in to all the sweetness-related abuse I've put it through. It's been nice, folks.

Life is but a dream.

I'd kinda like to see an edit of this manga that removes Touma entirely, in a Garfield-without-Garfield sorta way. So that everyone's always talking about this mysterious Touma-kun, and when they talk to her, it's as if she's just offscreen, and they're being helplessly seduced by her dialogue that's deliberately left blank. I wonder if that would actually be an improvement? Just completely elevate Touma to the level of myth, so that we don't get distracted by how uninteresting and unseductive the actual Touma is. She's already such a blank character that it probably wouldn't make a difference if we saw her or not. So why not just leave it up to the imagination?

That actually sounds genuinely entertaining.

Bullied to death by a vicious gang of lolis. What a horrible way to go.

For a moment there I was afraid that Hishikawa's spaghetti-dropping was spreading to people around her.

Some all-star yuri is going down.

Well that sure got lewd quickly.

For me, it's less about being able to understand than it is being able to read this seriously without reading it like the Scotsman from Samurai Jack.

Same, really. Despite my best efforts, I can't help but hear a large, angry Scottish man.
Personally, I'd say if you're going to replace a dialect with an accent, go with something less specific and instantly recognizable.

dem adorable dogs tho

Kumichou never fails to put a smile on my face.

And now there's a delinquent.
Excellent.

Rest in piece Chiharu.

I'm reminded of Samurai Flamenco, and that makes me happy.

whew, Nozomi was straight up devilish in this. but if it's for the sake of exposing more LL yuri to the world, is it justifiable? i'm so conflicted.

She clearly just wants them to admit their love.

Reading ahead, it turns out it takes place in the 1970s, so the minute they realize they're both lesbians, they make plans to kill themselves. Fortunately, at the last minute, an American translator comes along with a geneology chart showing they're really just cousins. Crisis averted.

Pffft.

I love how wonderfully blunt Yuugi is.

"I'm here to kiss girls and chew bubble gum, and I'm all outta gum."

Can I please get a version of that one absurdly long fight scene but with making out instead?

Hallelujah, it's a series! And I love it more than ever!
