Dialogue was spot on, sounded just like them.

Himari ships Aki and Shiho so hard that beyond the goofy shenanigans and the "she's just like us" vibe I find it not just sweet but also a little fascinating. I'm not totally sure why.

getting rid of the rival

Assuming it must've been loaded with rubber bullets or some other less-than-lethal ammo

It outright says rubber bullets.

I'm not an expert, but I think the dress of the second girl from the left is crazy complicated. Like common people started wearing stuff like that after the Industrial revolution made weaving patterned textile cheap.

"all ready" -> "already", or "all already" maybe

I think Sendai feels like she would be ejected from the group if she doesn't please her friends enough partially because of her history with her parents emotionally abandoning her. Her friends might still be with her if she didn't read every magazine, watch every TV show, etc.

Ooh! Interesting take. The abandonment issues running both ways.

Whoah, Arai mentions Clueless!

So, is there an actual CD with licensed music? Or just a liner of song titles for you to seek out on your own?

Green Tea Bitch is also Chinese, right? and isn't "photo-perfect" art like this.

is this supposed to be a real giant bug

Huh, I'd only read through vol 5.

Cute Little Kitten isn't toxic, it's just that one of the MCs seems to be terminally depressed.

Nice. Would probably mean more to me if I could remember where the characters appeared (chances are I've read them).

oh huh, I had no idea this is an anthology.

note that the one-shot chapters match the photo titles on left-hand pages of this work.

No outside force made Google set the youtube algorithm to treat "lesbian" as a pornographic term, they did that themselves because it's what they believe

Google doesn't care about advertiser behavior or Republican politicians? Fascinating.

I wish people would stop blaming "China" for the censored kisses, it's the webcomic platforms with that rule. China doesn't have any anti-kiss laws lol.

So ask yourself why the Chinese platforms are censoring kisses?

"The majority of censorship is self-censorship, but the majority of self-censorship is intentionally cultivated by an outside power."

So... was senpai in love with who'd end up becoming her step father? what the hell? or did I misunderstand something?

Yeah, seems like it. Not the mom: "never had a great relationship with her anyway"

she's not really interested in the sister, the sister is too old

Ominous "at that time, I thought" https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/gal_maid_villainess_only_miladys_happy_end_will_win_ch10#32

Where did the title "A love yet to bloom" come from? In addition to the Japanese title the volume also lists the English title "Bluer than love" which is a direct translation of the Japanese. "A love yet to bloom" doesn't seem like it's intended to be a translation of the Japanese title at all. And this hasn't been officially localized, so it's not as if it was a localization team's decision. So all of the usual reasons for a title change I can think of seem to be out. Did whoever translated this just invent a title or am I missing something?

You have a good point about looking at the Japanese, "Koi yori aoku", but aoku means

青い, 蒼い, 碧い [あおい]
(1) (adj-i) blue; azure
(2) (adj-i) green (mostly archaic or in ref. to fruits, vegetables and traffic lights)
(3) (adj-i) pale (facial color); gray; grey
(4) (adj-i) unripe; inexperienced

So "an unripe love" seems like a valid candidate. My grammar isn't good enough to be confident about translating 'yori'.

I'm thinking the love hasn't bloomed yet, but we'll see.

looks at the title of the manga

She genuinely seems to like being a cupid, and good for her if so. Considering the era she's from as a human based on the first glimpse we have of her

Wait, where was the glimpse of Chiyo's past?

Cute, thanks!

Morikuno sensei is actually a character from "A Collar Only for you."

Wait what

at least the MCs aren't eating soap

Looks like Michiru was copping a feel... I know it's not what makes sense in the scene, but what it looked like.

Cities were hard hit during the plague because they were cramped and the various vectors which plague spreads are more pronounced. In rural villages? Not so much

Cities might have been hit harder, but Europe didn't lose 1/3 of its population through cities alone.
