Hoping there’s a sequel (to the other one) where Kuzawa gets away from this chick. She deserves better

“We’re only doing this once”

Likely story…

Also, stupid cliffhanger! Right when it was getting good!

Worst case scenario, (I’m assuming Olivia is gonna continue watching them) if it seems like Elsa is dead set on being reckless, Olivia is prolly gonna tell Evie about it— if she doesn’t already know cuz of game knowledge (when was the last time her having game knowledge was relevant? I forget the circumstances behind what she knows too. Was she a game tester or am I remembering wrong?)

According to the TL notes on this page, she beta-tested the game for three weeks but never finished it bc of the gacha. So her game knowledge is far from extensive.

Ty for that, explains why her game knowledge isn’t relevant

Te second hand embarrassment hurts so much. As soon as I saw the “click” I was like, ‘oh god nooo’

oh its definitely a harem, its just that its more of a comedy/parody of an isekai rather than an actual true harem show. The harem is still there, but the thing is that the characters actually have personality. the heroines aren't walking cliches and the protagonist is not a blank slate for desperate teens to self-insert as. it's a good watch.

I disagree with you, the show is pure comedy, it doesn't have any romance aspects or cliches, Aqua DIFINITELY doesn't have any feelings for Kazuma, because of the way he treats her. Darkness is just a masohist that enjoys being treated harshly by Kazuma. Megumin? maybe she could have some feelings, but we still don't know, because like i said, this show doesn't have any of the romance cliches, like your typical blushes, glances..etc it's only about the silly adventures and the hilarious interactions between these characters. If it was actually a harem anime, i would've dropped it in a heartbeat, because i fucking hate harem anime. i still can't understand why some people consider this anime as a harem.

The anime just doesn't cover the story far enough. The series itself definitely is a harem.

Knowing that Kazuma ends up with Megumin makes this funny

Wait I just realized— Haru had (has?) a family. What happened to them for her to get sent here? Where are her siblings?

I suppose it's up to interpretation... but I don't find a plot in which they weren't accepted by their family and sent to become a child soldier unlikely, unfortunately.

Hoping there’s a chance that at least her siblings still care for her

Are we supposed to be able to click the button more than once? I clicked it until it turned grey

It says 0/10 under the button so yes I think you're supposed to be able to click it up to 10 times.

Yep, you can vote up to 10 times, apparently!

Ty for the response, that’s good to know

“But you’re not my friend. You’re just a teacher”

Unintentionally owned her lmao rekt.

“Just go eat your lunch.”

Lmaoo

Side note, where would I be able to buy “I Love You So Much I Hate You”?

God I love officer worker yuri….

Or just yuri in general lol :P

^ it kinda looks like she’s giving the inner cheeks a kiss, like an appetizer before the main meal or smthn

I'm almost wondering if telling Elsa was a good idea. She managed to keep her curse in check for years by not overusing her magic, and it wouldn't be outlandish to think that once she leaves the village, she will no longer feel the need to expand everything to prove herself.

Now that she's aware of it, though, and obstinately refusing to be careful, it's almost certain she will use it all at some point. Like the idea it's "safer not to use magic" seem to have encouraged her to use as much magic as she can.

I think it’s only an issue if she’s pushing herself too hard. I wonder if using magic is like training with weights? You pick a weight heavy enough to do you good without pushing yourself too hard? As long as she paces herself and doesn’t take on more weight than she can carry, she should be fine.

Worst case scenario, (I’m assuming Olivia is gonna continue watching them) if it seems like Elsa is dead set on being reckless, Olivia is prolly gonna tell Evie about it— if she doesn’t already know cuz of game knowledge (when was the last time her having game knowledge was relevant?

Those sound like VERY important and useful spells Evie.

Soundproofing: perfect for discussing top secret plans and can help prevent people from overhearing

Door locking: can lock doors when hiding/escaping, which will slow down the target.

Both very tactical spells if you ask me.

I love how shocked Toudou is acting… like, you knew this would happen! Good thing they aren’t at Toudou’s house, cuz Rin could fr walk in at any moment if they were

Toudou is extremely likeable because she isn’t likeable, and that’s why she’s peak. Anyway, i feel like she’s going to end up either with Hanei or alone or in some kind of harem lmfao

She isn’t a complete asshole anymore tho— she’s actually graduated from being an ass to being a regular girl with douche bag tendencies— a lot of people like bein relied on cuz it makes them feel good (in the way that Toudou explained) she’s likeable cuz she’s flawed, shamelessly selfish, and also bold enough to defend what she wants

I think it’s gonna go the harem route at this rate

If Rin hears of it, she's in for a paddlin'.

Deadass, they’re both getting murdered

I wonder if this counts as cheating?? Toudou is soooo goddamn dumb for falling to that bluff/lie lmaoo

"Bilibili exclusive"
aka we gon censor kissing

rip but it’ll still be cute either way (I think)

as for the scene from chapter 25, my grasp on yuzu is that she's very concerned with being a "normal" best friend, but the issue is that those two (even before chapter 1) had nonexistent physical boundaries. casual skinship between girls is terrifying to navigate when you can't figure out where "normal" ends. so as the story goes on and things become clearly more romantic, yuzu struggles and gets increasingly more self-conscious. i think it's pretty easy to read her rejecting the kiss as her being overwhelmed and confused. "i want you" is pretty sexual, BUT conveys none of the vulnerable romantic love part, so she couldn't read her intentions and panicked. it's actually pretty reasonable imo

No…. Nope. It’s not reasonable at all. Your explanation makes no sense as we literally see her thoughts during that time.

“ANY MORE, AND YOU'RE GONNA MAKE ME WISH... FOR THE IMPOSSIBLE.”

Having skinship and being close is different from saying “I want you” and leaning in for a kiss, they were touchy feely friends, they didn’t casually kiss each other, that’s a line they didn’t cross, and Yuzu’s words, her saying “no stop. anything but this.” Yadda yadda, is her acknowledging that this is a romantic gesture (it can be read as either or, but the differentiation doesn’t matter as Yuzu was super set on the idea that she and Minami would stay friends forever.)

It’s not a “normal misunderstanding” or “reasonable” reaction on Yuzu’s part, she ACTIVELY pushed Minami away and shut her down. Realistically, no one is gonna get confused like this, under these same exact circumstances— they NEVER KISSED, that’s the one physical boundary that was set. They’ve never kissed on the lips, have they? (Please correct me if I’m wrong)

It’s not that she “couldn’t read her intentions” as in Yuzu’s mind, there was NO WAY Minami would ever want her sexually or romantically (also, I’ve literally never seen that distinction made in romance series unless there’s an aromantic or asexual character, in most romances, sex and romance go hand in hand, so it 100% not Yuzu thinking it like that)

I def disagree with calling yuzu a sociopath, but Yuzu, every step of the way was actively making sure she stayed friends with Minami. The setting and the mood, Minami’s words + her leaning in, make it abundantly clear her intentions are to kiss her, to express her desire for Yuzu. Yuzu deluded herself into thinking it could never happen.

It’s like I’m the only one who’s noticed this— it’s not a misunderstanding, it’s not Minami’s fault for not being direct until the last minute (when she herself had no clue whether or not Yuzu liked her, and didn’t even when she confessed again) it’s YUZU actively shutting down the idea of her and Minami getting together because in her mind, it was IMPOSSIBLE for them to get together. Yuzu wasn’t misunderstanding, she was in denial, very deep in denial, because she was afraid of getting friend zoned again— in her own words, she had “given up” already.

Which imo makes no sense for her to have that fear cuz Minami was leaning in for a kiss. I feel like most people, if their crush leaned in towards them with their eyes closed, they wouldn’t move and wait for their crush to act, or stop them and ask for clarification, not push them away and preemptively shut them down

Yuzu didn’t want to hope. That’s the issue, that’s why it dragged for so long. It was Yuzu turning a blind eye to all the signs, NOT because she wasn’t aware of them, but because she DIDNT want to acknowledge them or think more— it was easier to wave it all off as Minami being super friendly rather than consider it was something more than that. Giving up was easier.

Either this was very poorly written (needlessly drawing things out falls under “poor writing” to me) or there was gonna be an arc where Yuzu realized she liked Minami too much to stay friends, causing her to confess to Minami, so at the end, it’d be both of their “faults” instead of “Minami’s fault” that they didn’t get together sooner.

Imo it’s also illogical to let a friend zone from grade school, and they’re like what? 15? 16? That had to be like 5+ years ago, when they were toddlers. Being hesitant is understandable, but actively pushing your crush away when she’s leaning in to kiss you? Don’t get it other than her not wanting to date Minami

Okay, but there are popular stories more recently that have gone beyond confession.
...arguably Bloom Into You...

Why "arguably"? Even if we discount the confession in literally chapter 1, there's an entire volume set after they unequivocally start dating.

We also see them seggs and a time skip, right? We ate good fr

Cute… so cute

The only slightly red flag about Mikako is she kind of continue pursue Saori even when she thought Saori is married.

But than again, not exactly a hard pursue or cheating, more like just quietly staying close. So it's still okay I guess.

Honestly, I think she doubted that Saori was married and talking to her only backed up her doubts.

I’m glad I’m not an over thinker, cus I wouldn’t care if my SO or a friend was obsessed with matching with me. I’d prolly find it funny and not think too deep abound it

So… maybe the 5th member didn’t make the cut cuz the other 4 had stronger synergy, 5th member dies and came back as a vengeful spirit and is killing off each other the members one by one?
