Frankly I liked this development all the same. Neeko has an ally now, someone who's close enough to her lifestyle to understand where she's coming from but also distanced enough to have a realistic perspective on how to fix the problem; even if she can't be blunt about it, it still feels like she could be a positive influence here. As has been said before, romance is pretty much the last thing Neeko needs right now, so I'm not disappointed at the lack of it this chapter. Doesn't mean they can't be shipped further down the road, anyway. ;)

Hopefully this means we can expect a third part to this trilogy...

Katori's got an uphill battle ahead of her... best of luck!

Umi's derp faces were amazing, but I absolutely love that last, successful picture.

I love the artstyle here; somehow those pointy noses work better than they should. Really sweet one in general, this is definitely going in my favorites!

It feels like a tiny contextless snippet cut from a larger story. Not a bad thing, just leaves me wondering...

That cliffhanger though.

I feel like this warrants the angst tag... Oof, my feels.

This is in serious danger of becoming my OT3

You want some rice? No? Okay, then I'll eat it!

That whole bit with Nico, though. It was so stupid, but I loved it.

My mouth hurts from grinning so hard :D

Is anyone else reminded of that one Ooshima Tomo story called NicoMaki are my Pets?

I wonder if this was an intentional homage to that one.

I love how the artist draws expressions, particularly Maki on page 10.

Maki's expression on page 12 is amazing

I want to see more of this tripling!

Okay, I guess. But what's the point of making them guys?

I feel kinda bad for Maki in this one, having her feelings jerked around like that. Unless Nico's inner monologue there was another layer of self-denial, like the ending seemed to imply... At any rate an amusing one with some great panels, but kind of a bitter aftertaste.

(Clearly this means we need a sequel where Nico finally reciprocates genuinely)

That was brilliant. I love it!

Japanese waifu simulators like Touhou,

I hope you're just trolling, there...

Interesting. I'm not sure I entirely got it, but the feels were certainly there. This take on Okina was interesting, as well.

Nico was really pushy here, wasn't she? I would have liked to see Maki turn the tables on her.

Baby don't hurt me, don't hurt me, no more...

But oof, this was a rough one. We're in the nadir now, folks. At least it means we hopefully have nowhere to go but up...

Going back in the closet was just amazing.

I just love that exaggerated frowny face Nico has. I haven't even seen Love Live, but I adore this pairing.

This is truly a Touhou doujin now.
