1. Yuina is actually Sara somehow. The least likely, but still a fun idea I think

as I was reading the chapter I was sort of wanting that to be the case exactly for the reason of it being a fun twist.

it would be really cute but also incredibly stupid

Cute!
I just wonder if there'll be actual romance here

remembering this comment from 2015

twitter is zoomer james joyce, huh

that makes too much sense to me and I don't like it

hey girl, you wanna know how you're like spaghetti

HOLD ON 14 YEARS OLD

I feel like this escalated quickly

fellas, what if the person I've been making out with and groping every week for months thinks I like her, gross eh

hol' up how she peeping

I like how Mimi and Shiina's relationship is slowly evolving to something deeper and more intimate.
Hopefully, nothing dramatic or tragic will happen too soon, so we can get to see more of these two!

hmmmmm

There's no point in calling a spade not a spade. Age gap is age gap, and here it does veer upon pedophila. Certainly makes me uncomfortable.

That said, the art is good and well made for its purpose.

The number one reason I heavily dislike this ship (or any non canon ship in this series) is that most people who actively ship them do so by stomping all over the established characters, their growth and their emotions, just to see their fantasies fullfilled.

This one wasn't too bad, but it still completely sidelined Touko, took a huge shit on Yuu and her feelings and denied Sayaka the happiness and closure she achieved in the novels.

It's by no means a bad piece by itself, some emotional bits were quite poignant and the interaction between these two felt nice and natural, but it did so by disregarding almost everything the characters stand for and achieved while dropping them into a situation where everyone came out worse than before.

As an original story with original characters, I'd even be quite the fan. But as something that's supposed to be a "fan" work of Bloom Into You, I really don't like it.

The majesty of crackships simply proves the will-to-power.

Shiho used to be in the SS? Didn't know that this manga was set in Argentina.

when characters make bad decisions that are in-character

jessie what the fuck are you talking about

mood

reject playgirls and playboys

avoid horny, pursue happy

last panel is the last thing you see before you die

i'm still haunted by whether the peasant are ok

ok, so I probably need to re-read earlier chapters to remember what is exactly is going on, but what was Nekozaki trying to achieve with Miko stripping, the touching and the kiss but then being unable to currently accept and reciprocrate Miko's feelings?

there is no context, nekozaki is just a confused horny idiot scared about relationships

I had to check the previous chapters and extras to make sure, but we really just had an offscreen confession? And then a recap of that offscreen confession, instead of just showing the confession directly in a normal way? Arata-sensei, what even is your sense of pacing?

"Strip to your underwear and make my heart race. Also, I only want to remain friends."

Bakazaki pls

also, bakazaki's two braincells operating at maximum power

I really want to appreciate this one, because it's overall very well done, but... I can't get over the fact how utterly avoidable this tragedy was. There was literally NO reason for Asha's mom to die. Not a single one. She was a freaking DRAGON. All she needed to do was to grab her child and fly somewhere else. Why is dying the more appropiate response over just fleeing to another mountain range? Claire would have survived either way because the hunting party was already going her way. Not that the dragon even needed to expose herself. She could have just gone to them in human form and tell them that she found a survivor who needs help. Hell... she could have just gotten her out of the mountains herself and let her walk the remainder towards town. This crucial action had so many plot holes it is infuriating.

I'm sorry, I know it's just a plot device, but I can't stand unwarranted tragedies.

same. it could have been really emotional, but I was like, am I supposed to pretend this is necessary

"Start seeing her as a woman".

Later

"What are you doing step sis?"

I am not the only one who had a horrible flashback about a trashy ero-manga right?

i have read too many

All the character with black hair look the same to me. I can only really tell them apart through dialogue.

anyway, ichy is goin' to brazil
