...translator pls that's not what "illegitimate child" means -.-;

its rumors thats what people think about Yuzu

Waitwhat. Are we supposed to believe that in the however long timeframe the original series took place over, in-universe, the word never got around they're just plain old step-sisters?
Allow me to correct myself.
...author fucking pls -.-;

On a different note Matsuri is still the single funniest thing in the franchise.

It's just a comparison; an analogy.

A bad one that makes no sense to begin with due to the aforementioned fundamental differences between the subjects, even leaving the obvious offensive potential aside. Might as well have been trying to make some kind of point about breathing by comparing it to making sandcastles.

That's a really uncomfortable comparison as it implies that sexuality is a choice you make like eating habits which is just flat out wrong.

Except they didn't imply that at all?

They... kinda did, though? Whether you eat meat or not is an entirely voluntary, conscious choice; sexual orientation... isn't, making the comparison drawn completely nonsensical and meaningless at best and appallingly ignorant at worst.

It's definitely not a comfortable read.

I was thinking that too, but then I remembered that this is Mira, and men don't exist.

They do but essentially as scenery and comic relief. :v

What that's not a cabbage.. it's a Japanese pumpkin

Uh-oh... you're right. I have no idea why I translated かぼちゃ as cabbage. It's definitely pumpkin. It doesn't even look like a cabbage. It says pumpkin on the menu too.

I trust those responsible will be sacked? :U

Nee-san gets peace of mind regarding her younger twin's dating life and a side order of hot sexxors by proxy; talk about win-win.

What a kind sister. Most people would be a bit more put out by something like that.

I don't think most people have experience/can relate to sporadically sharing senses with their twins... or have twins in the first place, for that matter. :v
Anyway odds are pretty good their synch has kicked in while one was masturbating or suchlike at least a few times in the past so it's not like some sharing of, ah, private times was completely unprecedented...

Yeah no way no how this doesn't end in wild monkey sex.

No way in Hell their friends don't at the very least suspect something is up with these awkward dorks but they're clearly too nice to start prying into what are obviously private matters...

It's much too meticulously crafted to be the latter.

School authorities being ignorant of and/or turning a blind eye to sometimes even quite extreme bullying is an entirely real and universal problem though. Gotten the impression the common East Asian cultural fixation with conformity and keeping up appearances doesn't help one bit there, either. (Eg. Yang Dahye's "honor student" facade was a pretty major plot point through much of the story IIRC.)

It's certainly a deconstruction of certain forms of "bully revenge" fantasies and "heroic sociopath" type tropes, though. Also a psychological horror story with no small degree of social commentary thrown in which themes often go together anyway.

Pretty sure that was entirely intentional on the author's part. To me the story parsed as a deliberately ruthless deconstruction of a number of (only too often one way or another romanticising) tropes relating to both bullying and "psychopatic" personality disorders, particularly as regards how the latter are wont to affect other people.

It also seemed to have a fair bit to say about poor parenting and generally adult indifference/obliviousness...

^Defuse this dangerous situation like only you can, Kuro! ...it works in manga, right? Worth a shot! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Disclaimer: may imperil your chastity but you kinda wanted to get rid of your virginity anyway right? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I like to imagine that Kobayashi-kun put the letter in Saijou's locker on purpose to cultivate the yuri.

I'm gay, so how about you be gay too.

inb4 Kobayashi-kun is actually this dude

I kinda forgot ... but why's that school doing this whole swordfighting again?

Pretty much for the kaicho's amusement. "The rich are a species of their own" as it were.

...this does rather look like another pretty pink color level incident, and Nemo appears sufficiently livid to A) have temporarily lost the ability to speak B) be this close to doing something awful to Kuro...
Like shift her hands upwards a bit... Hina no, no matter how angry you are nonconsensual handholding is never OK! D:

Not sure I'd put bunny ears on Yuri of all-
remembers "Watership Down"
...nevermind, those hoppers are savage bastiches. >_>

women need to carry guns/knives more often

Everyone carried knives back in the Middle Ages. Just sayin'.

That's not a particularly "French" name tho unless them diacritics get involved...

I'm constantly reminded that Sun Jing is actually a giantess.

She's much taller than the teacher.

This being China that doesn't really say much by itself, though.

ikr? I literally can't even.

^I mean the second part isn't wrong, in a sense... ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
"Itadakimaas~"

Saki livin' that Tsundere life enough for the whole cast.

Yuru Yuri but it's Mochi
