For those who haven't looked closely... Ishtar isn't letting herself be carried by Ritsuka, she's levitating herself while orienting herself as if she was being carried. I guess she's being gracious enough to not burden Ritsuka's arm with carrying the weight of a goddess' body.

Wouldn't it be hilarious if the last chapter had a vore tag? :)

I would be up for mock vore, where Suiren swallows Suzu, only for the "stomach" to instead be more or less a den of lesbian serpentine tentacles that Suiren uses to give the utmost of pleasure to her lover, before eventually regurgitating her.

And yes, lesbian tentacles are now a thing.

I am very irked by the way lamia thermoregulation is depicted in this setting. It just doesn't make any sort of sense that an organism's body is divided into homeothermic and poikilothermic halves, unless we're dealing with literal grafting of very different organisms onto each other... which opens up a whole can of worms on its own and obviously cannot be the case here.

Yeah, Chovy Hair would not be remotely practical if it applied even semi-realistic physics.

Little oopsie, Chapter 1 and 2 got mixed up. If you go on the reader it goes Ch2 -> Ch1 -> Ch3.

So... The actual listing on the comic's main page is correct, but the online reader's order got mixed up?

I want to see how they got together.

"Ecchi"

As long as the genitals and sexual acts aren't explicitly depicted, it's "just" ecchi.

Are we SURE she's not a succubus? I know what the nurse said, but...

I'm now suspecting she either has partial succubus ancestry or is a completely different kind of demihuman (whether full-blooded or partial) that simply has some succubus-like traits.

... How the hell is Hana two meters tall???

I'm honestly amazed I didn't see the twist coming

For my part, I was surprised that the twist was the opposite of what I thought (as in, I thought Mayu was the ghost that's unaware of the fact that she's dead).

My reading of the last few pages is that Nami is an actual ghost herself, one that apparently hasn't realized she's dead for some reason (which is ironic, considering what she said about the nature of ghosts).

We're not gonna tag it, please don't ask.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

That's not going to stop the flow of tag suggestions.

Thank You.

I want to kick the responsible party in the shins every time I have one of these dramatic twist stories ruined by blatant spoiling tags.

And I would bodily block you and throw you to the ground / against the nearest wall if you try to do that on my watch. Tags exist for a reason, and nobody forces you to look at them.

Does this mean we are going to be meet a female big rack demon king?? Hell ye

That chart lists characters from all over Neji's multitude of works and sometimes-mutually-exclusive settings. "Demon King" refers to the eponymous character from this manga.

It was definitely a joke. As someone pointed out early in the thread, lampshading. We know Onee-san is a creepy pedo but in-universe she's the main character, not a villain... She would never do anything to hurt the Otone... But she's a sick pedo full of creepy desires, which we can see from outside of the universe.

Probably one of the most central tropes of loli stuff is that the lolis are always enthusiastic. I think there was even a study on rape in hentai manga that came up with it being rarest in a few magazines (one being 0%, an editorial decision I applaud) and number 2 or 3 was Comic Lo, which you can guess from the title is a loli manga. The suspension of disbelief is that this is all a-ok and the way that disbelief is suspended is by the trope of willing, enthusiastic lolis.

This should be made part of obligatory reading for anyone that harps about the lolicon/shotacon genre as being inherently immoral.

If that's the case then they definitely didn't communicate what they meant properly and should probably clarify.

It seems pretty obvious to me that they meant "molesters are far more likely to sexually harass or even rape a woman if she's insanely attractive, especially if her own body language basically screams that she has a generally meek personality and is physically unfit, so such a weapon needs to take the maximum possible precautions because molesters will flock to her like flies to honey".

Just because the victim isn't to blame for molesters deciding to commit sexual assault upon her doesn't justify her not taking appropriate measures to fend off said sexual assault. If the risk is high enough that threatening the assailants with a gun becomes a reasonable option to take, then I'd say that she should do so (and take enough lessons in how to properly use it).

A lot of comments in this thread were a loooong debate about whether or not the tag "reverse-trap" should be used or not and its whole meaning, ethics, etc. Something that apparently the comment above me wants to start again.

Bold of you to so blatantly misrepresent my comment.

There was at least one English word for it: androgyny. It's a pretty good word!

The concept of tr*p has nothing to do with a lack of proper English words for androgyny, and everything to do with the stigma of being attracted to someone with a penis.

Androgyny doesn't automatically equate to the person being able to pass for either sex if dressed appropriately. It covers a whole spectrum of mixtures of masculine and feminine.

Fuck, another character that referrers to herself in a third person

I kinda hope she dies

This is not uncommon among Japanese children, IINM. Anime/manga may exaggerate how common it is, but to the Japanese it's not strange at all, and I have no idea how the connotations of childishness associated with it can be reflected in English otherwise without conflating it with the Japanese equivalents of typical English-language markers of childishness (e.g. mispronunciations).

90k yen for 3 bedrooms is less than my 405 sq ft. studio by almost half. Guess that solidfies this manga as fiction.

You live in Japan?

Do we know where they are? Tokyo? Somewhere else?

Well, Occam's razor would dictate that they're in Japan, and in the absence of any clear indications otherwise, it's safe to assume that they're somewhere in the Tokyo region (which is huge; there's technically no such thing as "Tokyo City").

... Is it just me, or does Chitose's reason for committing suicide seem like a senseless overreaction even for someone of her age (at the time she died)?

@Azero25: Oh she does know. She's just being smart by skipping the middleman.

I burst out laughing when Koguma started squeeing over Hino's hair and asked to touch it, thinking "THE TABLES HAVE TURNED, NOW!"

... Just curious, is it really that easy for a little girl to dye her hair and find more or less the exact same style of clothes that a given delinquent is wearing within one day of their first meeting?

I don't understand why people are find this twist unoriginal. Am I missing something?

Also... What does this say about past Antinoids? Were they all originally innocent people that were monsterified against their will?!

Reminds me of Girl's Sanctuary. If it turns out half as cute, we're good.

Banning a nickname for an entire genre, what are we supposed to call it? That's an honest question, not picking a fight...

The tag used on the site is Cross-dressing. You could also use the Japanese term, Otokonoko/男の娘.

Cross-dressing and that-term-which-we're-now-banned-from-using are neither synonyms nor do they overlap that much. As shown in this manga, you can be the latter (well, the "reverse" version in this case according to common definitions) while simply wearing more-or-less-unisex clothing by Western standards; the point of the latter's concept is being able to perfectly pass for the opposite sex without putting much effort into it, something that more than a few cross-dressing characters (to say nothing of real-life crossdressers) fail to achieve (i.e. people immediately can tell they're not the sex they're dressing as, or are at least suspicious or call them "really mannish-looking for a girl"/"really girly-looking for a boy").

But yes, Otokonoko/男の娘 is a perfectly serviceable alternative. It's just that apparently more English speakers wanted an English equivalent than the ones who were okay with it, and were surprised to find that English didn't have a pre-existing name for the concept.

... Man, the Nishizumi school of this setting is devious.

So then you just wanted them in the end?

... The "don't want you to hand it over to anyone else" didn't tip you off?
