There isn't, but sword classes get Axebreaker, which gives bonuses against axe wielders.

Of course, even in games with the weapon triangle, I've found that if a unit's significantly more powerful than its opponent, it being at a disadvantage when it comes to the weapon triangle isn't as important.

I was hoping that the misunderstanding would be resolved by the end of the first chapter. In stories like this, the first chapter generally establishes the premise of the work, and having Kanda be outed as a girl would have made for a good first chapter twist. As some other posters said, I'm still holding out hope for Satomi realizing that Kanda is a girl by the end of the first volume.

It's unfortunate that these two can't get an A support in the game.

Of course, even if they could, they wouldn't necessarily get paired together; I'd hoped to pair Mercedes with Annette on my Blue Lions playthrough, but in the ending, Mercedes got paired with Dedue, while Annette got Gilbert.

I liked this chapter. While it's a bit disappointing that Yuu and Touko probably won't come out to their families and friends in the course of the manga, it's good to see them enjoying a romantic evening together.

I'm personally curious as to what the final chapter will be about, now that Touko and Yuu are a couple, and virtually all the loose ends are as wrapped up as they ever will be.

I'm a bit surprised that Yuri's so insistent on demanding that Tomoko switch from using "-chan" on her to using yobisute. Most female characters that I know of are perfectly fine with their friends calling them "-chan", unless they think it's too childish for their tastes.

@whatayuri I'll take that as a yes.

Personally, I had my doubts about Rhea after she had all the Western Church followers executed, and after reading Jeralt's diary, joining up with Edelgard(my female Byleth's eventual wife) was a fairly easy choice.

Without spoiling too much, Ymir's clothes are from a Season 2 flashback, while Christa's are from the first half of Season 3. I can tell why you'd think it was from Star Wars, though.

Would this technically count as incest?

Kou's panties are reserved for Rin's eyes only (well, so she would prefer).

Is there anyone who hasn't seen them?

Momo didn't know about the "sleeping in panties" part until Aoba told her. To quote Chapter 64:

Aoba: On my first day, I saw Yagami-san sleeping under her desk in just her panties and a shirt. So at first, I thought she had to be pretty sloppy, I guess.
Momo: What? She really did that?
Aoba: Yeah! You never saw because she doesn't stay the night as much these days.
Momo: That's a surprise... although she does seem careless at times, so I guess I can see it.

It's hard to say for certain about the people who joined before Aoba, but I doubt many people outside of the character team have seen Kou sleeping in her panties. If Shizuku had seen Kou like that, she'd probably never let Kou forget it.

The Black Eagles route was my first choice, and I paired Female Byleth with Edelgard. I'm glad to see other people ship these two.

Thanks for the explanation. I played Kirby's Adventure and Super Star, but not in co-op.

I find the developments in Chapter 8 interesting. While it's been implied that Tsugumi didn't have a good relationship with her family at the time of her death, this chapter seems to imply that the problems first came up while she was in high school.

I'm also still curious as to why Tsugumi apparently never once contacted Midori in the fourteen years between Haru's birth and Tsugumi's death. One would assume that Tsugumi and Midori parted on bad terms the last time they spoke, but Haru's narration seems to imply that she didn't try hard enough to be there for Midori. As such, it's possible that Tsugumi ran into a problem of some sort, possibly an unplanned pregnancy, and deciding that she couldn't confide in Midori, went off to deal with it by herself.

Incidentally, while it's certainly possible that Midori is autistic, it doesn't seem that farfetched for her to be able to hold down a job. I'm autistic, and am perfectly capable of holding down a job, even working as a reporter. That said I'm not even considering getting married or having children.

Can the teachers end up together? I want the teachers to end up together

I'll second this. I actually started seeing them as a viable couple after their heart-to-heart talk.

oh! I never knew this was here. Bought three volumes of it not too long ago.

The fourth volume recently came out. It nicely wraps up the Blume election arc, but unlike the first three, there isn't much of a hook to get us interested in what will happen in the next volume.

Yeah, it kind of feels like the author kind of gave up on Hifumi's character arcs lately. She felt like a more important character in the early chapters, part of the main cast. Now it feels like she's been demoted to a complete side character. :\

I still feel this even in this chapter that's about her. It feels like she doesn't have any presence anymore.

I thought she had a pretty fine presence, she's still her awkward self but it was nice to see Hifumi deciding to take on Hajime for the sake of keeping their job smooth. I think she is gaining confidence, I'll agree it's been a slow progress since there had been a distinct lack of Hifumin but I like the chapter and would welcome more like these.

The plus point in this was the minimal newbies' (Momiji and Narumi) scenes.

I mostly agree with this, but I actually like Naru. She makes for an interesting foil to Nene, since while Nene's a bit childish and sometimes has trouble focusing, Naru's more mature(I can't see Nene helping out around the house like that) and driven to a fault. She also goes through a good amount of character development, particularly coming to acknowledge Nene's skill and determination, and going from not wanting to make any changes that would potentially delay the game (thus possibly reflecting badly on her), to being willing to work with Hajime on coming up with a new idea even though she might get in trouble. I also liked the story arc with her and her mother, particularly how both have valid points, and while the disagreement isn't fully resolved by the end, they do make a little progress in coming to understand each other.

a somewhat long-winded story about a girl loosing nearly any match she playes? Was an ok read... a bit booring at times

I agree. Part of the appeal of the first Little Army was showing that Maho was a more complex and sympathetic character than she seemed like at the time of her introduction, and showing that Miho did love tankery as long as she could do it with her friends, so the sequel didn't really have what made the original so compelling for me.

I agree that it should be turned into a series. This has "Chapter 1" vibes to it, setting up the premise for the series and introducing the main couple to each other. In addition to the two leads falling in love, the series could show the ex-magical girl adjusting to her life as a civilian.

At first, I thought this was a Saki doujin, but then they were talking about panties, so can't be !

Joking aside, Momo talking like some pseudo gangsta felt seriously weird :/

I'm guessing it's an attempt to localize her "~su" verbal tic, which comes off as a bit childish. The Crunchyroll subtitles had her randomly insert plurals at the end of words, which is a bit better.

I also like the "Two frikken' months line." If you read the Tsuruga bonus chapter, Momo laments that there's still things about Yumi she doesn't know yet, but Kanbara says Momo shouldn't be saying that, since she's only known Yumi for two months.

It looks like this lost the top spot for "most viewed over the past week." Personally, I was hoping that Chapter 42 of Bloom Into You would climb to the top rank, but it wasn't to be.

As for this, I liked the twist at the end, regarding the dark-haired woman's identity, but it was a bit too heavy on the porn and too light on the plot for my tastes.

Can't say I ever enjoyed any Nanoha series, but this Vivid one seriously takes the top as the worst, so good riddance.

Did you read FORCE? General consensus was that series was the worst of the lot, especially with the overpowered and unsympathetic Huckebein, the uninteresting main character who just happens to have a connection to Subaru, and lots of other issues that resulted in the manga being put on hiatus since September 2013, one that is most likely permanent.

Personally, I watched most of the franchise (although I dropped ViVid after a while), and enjoyed A's the most. I may go back and read the rest of ViVid one of these days.

Is anyone else seeing each chapter as a bunch of images put together in a long thin column on a single page, with each individual page too small to read?

I hope Yuu comes out to her parents, since that's one plot thread that Girl Friends never explored. They had Mari worry what her parents might think of her and Akko near the end, but never actually showed her coming out.

Regarding the use of first and last names, maybe the scanlator incorrectly used "Nanami-senpai," since that's what Yuu's called Touko for almost 90% of the series. On Page 13 of Chapter 26, Yuu refers to Koyomi as "Kanou-san" for some reason while talking with Sayaka, but she calls her "Koyomi" in the localized version. It seems a little odd that she'd suddenly refer to Koyomi formally in that one case (Koyomi does the same to Yuu earlier that chapter, but I think students are supposed to do that when talking to teachers), so the localized version seems more consistent. Maybe when the localized Volume 8 comes out, she'll refer to Touko as "Touko-senpai" in her thoughts.

Then again, it is definitely easier for Touko to switch to casual speech with Yuu than for Yuu to be casual with Touko- for example, when Touko says "Ohayo, Yuu," in response to Yuu saying, "Nanami-senpai, Ohayo gozaimasu." Maybe someday, Touko will drop a few hints that Yuu can speak casually with her, at least when they're alone.

It's nice to see what Touko and Yuu are like as an actual couple, but at the same time, I wonder what this is all leading up to, since there's only three chapters left. A part of me wishes the series could go on a little longer, so we could see more of Yuu and Touko's relationship.

I'm personally curious about what happened between Midori and Tsumugi in the past. They seemed like they were close during the flashbacks, but then 17 years passed without them speaking to each other, and Midori didn't even hear that Tsumugi had a daughter.
