how many more Kims are around?

I once read that Kims and Parks and Lees make like two thirds of the Koreans... so the answer to your question is: a lot! ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)

Tsukiko and Utsumi relationship is very subtle yet so caring for each other

One could argue it's a wee bit TOO subtle... >_<

¿Lo qué? ¿Quieren ir a buscar una boba? (꒪ȏ꒪)
Debe ser para seducirla y llevarla a un hotel... si es boba, se dejará seducir más fácil...

Sakurako is

Like, totally.

Needs Moar Yuri.

Exactly--give these characters fuzzy ears and a tail and I'm guessing the reader hostility drops off considerably.

Of course, Takemiya Jin's previous characters often acted like they already had fuzzy ears and a tail (and feral libidos) anyway.

In the middle of a flood of comments to say "I like ABO" or "I hate ABO" it's refreshing to find a consequent message that actually provides some food for thought.

Blastaar does that.

It's not like she has really changed, you know. Koiko always was a reliable sempai and a trustworthy member of the Student Council, someone who takes her responsibilities very seriously. If a kouhai needs to talk, she listens. If a kouhai is in trouble, she helps. If a kouhai is doing something improper and unacceptable, she gives her good advice. It's only when her crush on prez overcomes her good sense that she turns into the eponymous pervert of the manga.

It's because of her many virtues and good points that Nika-chan fell in love with her. It's because of her uncontrollable fetishism around prez that Nika-chan wants to hit her on the head with a big stick. It's simple, really.

I like the meta side of the humor. The characters, especially Koiko, seem to be aware that they live in a universe governed by certain unescapable rules to which they can only resign themselves.
During her visit to the sisters' house, Koiko thinks: "I'm gonna be alone with the president!? No way, this manga doesn't work like this: her parents will be here, of course. Wait, her parents are not here?? Oh but Nika will be here to pussyblock me, as always. What, Nika is NOT HERE??? No! This cannot be! The laws of the universe are crumbling!"
Then Nika returns home and Koiko is like whew, what a relief. And btw the reason that Nika returns at that time is: "I was at the library and my spider sense started tingling and I realized that I had to return RIGHT NOW or something catastrophic could happen! Aha, Koiko-sempai is here! And she's alone with my sis! I knew it! That damn pervert!" (◠‿◠)

Can someone explain to me why the joke in the credits basically calls the mc an idiot, when she was the one who didn't want to break up?

Ahhhhh
Batle stations! Streight girl ( not really) alert!!!!

Reminds me of "M" by Masakazu Katsura.
I thought M was very silly, and I find this story pretty silly too.

Hehe well it's sort of like this yeah... but iirc that was a special situation cuz the loli was a lion or a wolf or some kind of big dangerous carnivore, while the onee was a SHEEP and thus incapable of defending herself... she could only accept her tragic fate and surrender to the fierce predator like a timid, trembling, innocent little lamb. Or something like that, lmao.

Marika has a bit of that shtick going on, come to think of it, as for all her protestations of toughness she has the idiosyncrasy of a jobber who puts up a facade but always goes down in the end. She just loves being topped and subjugated.

In the novel, Marika says she will never date Aya because she's not that "type" of girl (a lesbian) and Aya replies that it doesn't matter because she can make any girl fall madly in love with her no matter what her "sexual type" is. Yep, that's right: het, bi, queer, gay, whatever they are, Aya gets all the girls, like pokemons!

Course maybe she didn't mean it: it could have been just a smooth line to impress Marika. From that angle it works great, it makes Marika breathless as she thinks WOW, Aya is such a CHAD!

Hehehe, actually the word Marika uses is "bari tachi" which is not exactly a chad. It comes from the Japanese classing of roles to take in bed:

バリタチ (bari-tachi): totally dominant, always on top and in charge

タチ (tachi): dominant, likes to be on top

リバ (riba): can go top or bottom, likes both

ウケ (uke): submissive, likes to be topped

バリウケ (bari-uke): always on the bottom, couldn't even top an Itou Hachi loli

There's more nuance but that's the gist of it. Marika calls Aya a bari tachi because she's so cool and confident, she's always dominating Marika, she boasts that she can make any girl in the world submit to her, and (this is prolly most relevant) when they make love she always pleasures Marika in an intense way and makes her cum again and again, but she never asks Marika to do the same thing to her and (as far as Marika can tell) she never orgasms and just gets her enjoyment from watching Marika's reactions before, during and after sex.

I think it's the sweetest thing that Kishi translated the dialogues himself!! <3 <3
But I understand why Chads would want to retranslate it.

In any case, I totally agree that お尻 = bum and should be left untouched!

This reminds me of the "Morosexual" meme. Except that the main character is more like a "dorkosexual" who can't stop herself from feeling love and lust every time she sees a dorky aspect of someone.

Yandere + Stalking = Moe up the butt

[õ_õ]

You say Nononon but I say Yes yes yes

You say Nononon but I say Oui oui oui.

Shame on you for cheating Senpai

Come again? Who's cheating who?

I consider this sequel to “Maka Maka”. Excellent!

I know what you mean. The forever unchanging chaste wholesomeness of VE is cute and all, but... reading this makes me wish Kishi would return to his MakaMaka roots and draw sexual romance more often.

I'm glad this chapter shed a little more light on Arata's situation; people were dunking on him pretty hard after the first chapter but I get the feeling that he's just as tired of going through the motions as Yukako. He can't even hang out with his 1 friend at work without someone making a big deal out of it.

Arata's situation illustrates something feminism knew very well in the 60s (before it got corrupted and rotten) that is: men are also victims of the capitalist-patriarchal social establishment, and suffer because of it as much as women.

Those were the days. In modern times, it's like societies are on a downward spiral of stupidity. You made me remind something I read once about the reactions to the discovery of the polio vaccine.

In the first half of the 20th century, people lived in fear of the incurable paralytic polio disease. By the early 1950s, tens of thousands were infected each year. It hit especially hard the children; one in ten died, the rest ended up horribly crippled. The disease was the terror of families everywhere. On April 12, 1955, researchers at the University of Michigan called a press conference that was broadcast by radio stations to all of America: they announced they had found a polio vaccine that was safe and effective. All across the country, in every town and city, church bells rang out to celebrate the news.

Think about it: churches all across America ringing their bells, not for God or religion, not to call for prayers, but to honor science. Priests using their churches to pay homage to the glory of science. Those were the days, indeed. Today, we count ourselves lucky if churches don't call their flock to fight COVID vaccination as a tool of Satan.

OH my... Lord what a CHAD WOMAN!

She translates Virgins' Empire? :P

So she shoved her fingers to make sure it was her, right?

Ohhhhhh...
Now I'm imagining all the times, during those 10 years, that Megane-chan mistook some random dyed-blonde woman for Gyaru-chan and immediately shoved her fingers into that lady's mouth.

I wonder, in those occasions, what happened next... I really want to see it. (˵ ͡o ͜ʖ ͡o˵)

Shoving fingers into another person's mouth? blank look
If it's supposed to be sexy, I dun get it.

New meme!

From now on, every time an incredibly cool and dashing lady just like a Takarazuka prince works her charm (inadvertently or not) on a girl and makes her feel like she's burning in a fire of love and passion, I'm gonna say:

"Oh wow, she made her fever go up!!!"

In a way this reminds me of A Room For Two. She doesn't see a need to define their relationship with any specific labels, it's perfectly fine for them just to be together. Unlike that one, the understanding is not quite mutual here, though, leading to the current situation.

I like the way you think, yes I do. (ˇ◡ˇ)b

Me, I wish I could recall if at some point we were told about their family situation. Are her parents married? Divorced? I don't remember at all.

If they are still married, it gives a whole new meaning to Mari's comment: "Me and mother have always been showing up with boys."

I love the moment when sempai realizes that kouhai is embarrassed by her declaration of love... and makes a catlike face and a "nya" sound and starts telling her again and again that she loves her.

Oh, sempai, you merciless, sadistic feline, you!
