"It's dangerous to go alone. Take this stick."

Itou Hachi's loli stuff is just unsettling--which direction that takes people varies. For some it's "Don't you people realize that pedophilia is BAD, dammit!" moralizing; for others it's, "Uh oh, I read this and now I feel anxious" giggling, etc.

If by unsettling you mean "amazingly cute" then I agree. Very unsettling.

I remember one time I was dropping by Otome Road, most of the staff usually has fujo or otome related pins on their uniforms, but one girl who rung me out at the register had an oneeloli pin from Itou Hachi. It gave me hope for the world.

All hail Itou Hachi. All hail oneeloli.

I daresay you quite QED'd his point.

but most of the characters are portrayed as straight women (?)

Okada's face throughout this whole thing was both distraught and ENTIRELY APPROPRIATE.

True to canonical form she always has the best timing to arrive on a scene.

A HORN DILDO?

Being too inspired is Tomo's character setting pretty much.

No abs 0/10.

literally unreadable

when a random guy becomes the POV character in a (not) yuri manga

You called?

Okay I'm passably certain that was Itou hanging a lampshade on the creepy angle of this story.

Thousands-of-years-old vampire scared of ghosts?
Does not compute.

Hey, that was SRS BZNS back whenever she was born. Plus she's herself Exhibit A of there indeed certifiably existing things that go bump in the night... :d

^I like how she lowkey Art Shifts for emphasis in the second panel

airi is so everything in chapter 168! in the 2nd page, she is gorgeous, sweet, playful, sexy, cute, tempting, and innocent all at once. michiru is amazingly lucky!

Curio detail: both of them are into NTR.

^ Sort of like those "I'll hold my breath until I die" tantrums small children sometimes do (and are confused why the adults refuse to take the threat seriously).

Btw what fragile worldview, though? It is rather funny to see capitalism making money on, uh, Marxism-like ideologies.

Monetizing rebellion is nothing new. Hell, once the Soviets stopped being silly after the first few years (after it dawned to them the hard way that unilaterally defaulting on your national debt is actually a terrible idea) they had no problems finding running dog capitalist foreign consultants to help bootstrap various parts of their industry in return of money for ex.

Pecunia non olet.

Yes, lesbians and cats.

Hell cats are a pretty 10/10 replacement for children among str8 couples too...

I'm surprised nobody is fuming at how Nononon rejected Yumimi's confession of love pretending it had to be a joke.

TBH it's entirely in character and it would've been terribly jarring if she'd just rolled with it, cool as cucumber. It's pretty much Nono's defining character trait to reflexively second-guess herself into a corner regarding Yumimi.

Pretty clearly the latter is well aware of this too and willing to patiently chip away until the message gets across.

That's a pretty un-woke definition of virgin.

does that mean she can have sex with girls all she wants tho? b/c if so, that definition is actually favorable in this (very gay) situation.

That's exactly what it means yes. Rules Lawyering for fun & profit!

Well, the next chapter is in the November issue of Comic Hotmilk, and features Manami and Rise so the whole thing is starting to get very polygonal.

I don't even know anymore what Kurogane want out of this relation.

top keks, obviously

That's a pretty un-woke definition of virgin.

Ancient definitions for ancient magicks.

You can point your finger on someone else buddy. I'm not against peoples having discussions here but i rather prefer not having to deep analysises about things the author probably don't think of.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust; if others won't do it the editor must.
Or in this case, interested readers.

It depends on the culture, but I'll not discuss olde civilizations here, I understand your point considering the fact that uni was probably Born in the 1900's

Not sure where you're getting that timeframe from when she explicitly mentions it's been "centuries", plural, since she was last summoned...

Certainly explains why she's working with an Old Skool definition of virginity and as mentioned before the whole unicorn/virgin connection specifically originates in Medieval Christian Europe where it certainly was defined along those lines so, yeah. Unicorns in general are a fairly Western Eurasian thing, the eastwards limits of those myths being roughly coincident with those of the "Greater Iran" culture-complex plus maybe northern India (which the former has strongly influenced); the Chinese qilin, though somewhat similar in appearance, has entirely different sorts of myths associated with it.

Yumimi not even trying to be subtle anymore huh

Can't really see what else it'd be referencing, but I never watched that series so couldn't tell you what the joke is.

Did Nemo use to have glasses before her "manga-like HS life" makeover? IDR out of hand and digging through the old chapters to check would be ass but I don't think she did...

She's cuter with her bangs down, honestly.

TBF I daresay the point is you don't really get a very good look at her features without peering from close up which people normally won't and 'Koro wouldn't let do anyway, as per conventions of manga visual storytelling, which is of course why she has them that way to begin with. (Loner tropes etc.) Ergo, this is more or less the first time their peers are actually getting a decent view of her noggin and they're all "waitwhat so this is how she looks under that fringe? :o"

And, yes, this is Nikaidou brazenly showing off her cute GF. "This is what y'all been missing out on y'know." :d
