Reveal that the mother is really beautiful under that hair incoming

I don't know about beautiful but considering how ridiculously adorable her daughter is I don't think being good looking in some way is out of the question.

I guess it was really just a phase, then.

I mean technically life itself is just a phase, lol.

I haven't read it. I saw the yaoi tag, and decided to comment to get it the hell out of here! Make a yaoi reader website! Burn boys' love comics! This isn't what I came to this website to read!

Why not just... Go read something not tagged yaoi instead of whining about the existence of something tagged yaoi that you couldn't even be bothered reading? Why is this a difficult concept for some people?

It doesn't quite fit your description but there's this quite similar one-shot by Morinaga Milk.

I found Nene's dress very bothersome
Why wear a transparent dress over casual clothes?

Because it's a little bit more appropriate than wearing it without anything on underneath it?

Well that was fucking stupid. Are they trying to just go with the dumbest possible conclusion or did they inexplicably think this was actually a good ending to the match?

Not to turn this into a whole thing, but Carmilla(one of the foundational vamps) didn't have either of those weaknesses IIRC. She was more about occasionally sleeping in a grave and being compelled to slowly drain the girls she was romancing..

From my understanding it was less sleeping in graves than it was her corpse being in her grave and what everyone saw was something more akin to astral projection. (Though not exactly the same since her vampire form was still a more or less physical form.) That's why when she transformed into that thing that got into what's her name's room she could get through the locked door with ease. Her physical form as a vampire isn't her actual body so it's far more immaterial than it normally would be.

Also, why don't these vampire manga never have proper vampires? Walking around in daylight? Eating?! Come on ...

I don't recall about eating but in Carmilla, which predates Dracula by 20 years, the eponymous vampire can handle sunlight just fine, she merely doesn't like it. And from what I recall, crosses and religious imagery were much the same. (And religious hymns hurt her ears but didn't actually harm her.)

All of you crying earlier to have Kiri-san beaten down. How could you?

Look at that! She's a good girl now. And she has someone who loves her.

Do you guys regret it now? I think you should.

You shouldn't expect people to forgive her immediately. It's not easy to change, even if you're trying. Most reasonable people would wait to see if she actually succeeds first.

She doesn't treasure her virginity does she

It's just Nikaidou so I don't think she's particularly concerned about anything that might happen.

I mean I don't read other manga except Yuri and it not THAT messy. You need to re-read it a couple more times. Also subscribed, curious to see how the story goes.

If you need to reread it to wrap your head around it, then it's kinda messy. It doesn't introduce all the characters clearly enough nor differentiate between them enough. I most of both currently released chapters before realizing there were even two separate dark-haired girls with long hair.

Please make it possible to downloading an entire series in one go. I lost count of the many times that I've come across a long-running series that already had over 2-3 dozen chapters (or even more!) posted on this site by the time I discovered, and which I've liked just from the few glimpses that I've seen, but I could only download 8 chapters per day. Moreso when a single artist has multiple such series.

You do realize that kinda defeats the whole purpose of the download limit, right? That limit is in place to limit the amount of bandwidth the server uses in a given day.

what suprised me the most is that nikaido agreed so easily to forgive. i was at least expecting her to open tadokoro's eyes or at least ask her if she's sure about her decision knowing what the other girl did to her. nikaido should'nt have let it go that easily. even a little slap in her face would have been enough. no need for violence or drama just one slap and that's all. the girl is sudenly showing remorse? as if! i really don't buy it!

You're overlooking an important detail. The only thing Nikaidou gives a shit about is Tadokoro. So if Tadokoro is fine with letting what's her face off with this slap on the wrist then there's no reason for Nikaidou to care either, so long as her bullying behavior doesn't continue. As far as Nikaidou is concerned, if the person isn't causing problems for Tadokoro they're simply not worth her attention at all.

Also, something only a car person and motosport fan like myself would bother raising a flag about this, but... why does this Mercedes have an upside-down logo?

Because it's a Wercedes, not a Mercedes.

"I definitely don't want to kiss her!!" says the girl who can't refrain from constantly imagining doing exactly that.

Vivid Strike! is much better than the original Vivid anime if you want something in the same vein but better excecuted, even if Strike doesn't have Vivio's sweet mothers around.

If it's better than Vivid then I may give it a shot at some point. Though I'd only really given Vivid a shot largely because I knew Nanoha and Fate would be involved. The enormous paradigm shift in the series was actually not really something I'd been expecting, though it was by itself tolerable.

To be fair, Nanoha also face-tanked Fate's 'Spark End' ability way back in season 1, but yeah, Nanoha's always been said to have strong defensive abilities and huge magic reserves, as opposed to the way they've described Vivio.

Not just good defense but Nanoha has been repeatedly shown to be able to tank some serious damage. There's a reason Nanoha's been able to eventually mop the floor with basically any opponent she's come up against and her ridiculous offensive output is absolutely not the whole reason for that. Unlike Fate who has absurd evasive capabilities and high damage output, Nanoha has exceptional offensive output, great defenses, a good ability to take a hit, and then she's rather intelligent and driven on top of all that.

I've only recently started reading Vivid (actually mostly just this match, one of the thumbnails awhile back here on Dynasty caught my eye when I was thinking that I should give the manga a shot and see if it was better than the anime) but the manga seems almost as crappy as the anime was which is an impressive accomplishment considering the anime just kinda cuts out in the middle of a tournament that it had been hyping up for several episodes.

Finally got the time to edit this myself. Here's how I'm interpreting it, with Nikaidou turning for a moment to wave and say goodbye:

https://i.imgur.com/H6se2x0.jpg

I legitimately don't see how you could possibly interpret it this way. There's nothing to suggest Nikaidou went to the right here at all and her facing to the left suggests she would have randomly had to turn around just to go that direction.

I like how Nikaidou leaves to their left which looks to go on for awhile and then three panels later she shows up to their right implying she just did a lap around that building in a matter of seconds.

I foresee a scene in the future where Tadokoro-san (who is an angel character) will need to say: "No, Nikaidou-san, stop, don't pummel Kirigaya-san into hamburger, I have already forgiven her, really I have."

I think Tadokoro disregarding Kirigaya altogether and instead worrying about Nikaidou getting in trouble would be far more likely. Though neither Nikaidou nor Tadokoro strike me as the sort to willingly resort to violence in the first place. I think it's far more likely that anything Kirigaya tries would simply blow up in her face with both Nikaidou bd Tadokoro largely being totally oblivious to her efforts.

Is Alicia only six years older than Fate? According to the wiki her birth year was 0034 while Fate's is 0061. That's 27 years of difference.

Though it seems there's some inconsistencies anyways.
https://nanoha.fandom.com/wiki/Alicia_Testarossa#cite_note-1

According to Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS Starter Book ("Nanoha Histories" section), Alicia died 26 years prior to the original story, which happens in 0065.

https://nanoha.fandom.com/wiki/Fate_Testarossa#cite_note-1

In Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Sound Stage 02, set in 0063, Fate mentions that Presea's behavior changed drastically about 2-3 years ago. This coincides with the time that Alicia's (who died at the age of 5) old memories ended, and Fate's own began (with 22 objective years in-between).

22 years before 2-3 years before the beginning of the story would be 0040-0041.

As I said on the last page, there are 3 new chapters out, done by the no group. You can find them on a widely popular site that ends with an x.

That's strange. It seems Mangadex's following system is broken or something. My notifications there haven't updated since the last update by _anq (there's not many series I even follow there) so I missed those myself.
