It'll be so funny if the older sister only here because she told her husband about the incest situation and his response was, "Yeah, nah, that's disgusting. We're getting a divorce"

Ok this made me snort with laughter

^And Momoka is clearly a scaredy cat when it comes to horror, clinging to Nina a bit for reassurance. That tracks for how I picture her

She is a wolf in sheep's clothing a tracksuit

Buahaha I love these two geniuses and this is exactly how it would go down! Huo Huo, please go supply a brain cell for them to use!

Yukong is not a horse! She is a lovely older lady!

^Oh I hadn't noticed the collar color being different. Very interesting. I'm so excited to see this movie in like 2 years ;_;

Yeeeeeess Shuukura fanart! We need more of it!

Days since that DAMN SONG was stuck in my head: 0

Thought this was Ryo x Nijika when I saw the thumbnail. Short blue hair and long blonde just go really nicely together.

This artist doesn't miss! Loving the twin look they have going on! And the sweet lap pillow Stelle's giving Firefly!

Yo...Madoka...who ya callin a "ho"?

IMPOSTER HOMUHOMU!! Her eyes are the wrong color!!

Momoka playing guitar really gets Nina's engine going

Caught Bocchi off guard with that kiss so she didn't immediately melt into a puddle

^Makes no sense when there's a perfectly wholesome ship right there with Ryuko x Satsuki ;)

I love that Sendai doesn't actually like the necklace that much lol. It wouldn't feel right for their relationship if she picked up the pendant and everything was perfect.

I don't know if we can read that as her disliking it (hopefully). The necklace "felt a bit too cute for my taste. It seemed like it would probably suit Miyagi better". And as we know, Sendai will quickly grow very attached to the necklace since it's a gift from Miyagi.

I think Angela's most recently translated chapter, 79, is the grumpiest she's been to Sendai up to that point in the story. The way Miyagi is now I can't even imagine her talking to Sendai without frowning. I'm starting to think Miyagi's grumpiness is proportional to her love for Sendai. It's almost like the more she realizes she loves her the worse her mood gets.

I think a lot of the extra grumpiness in this chapter comes from Miyagi putting herself out there to give Sendai the necklace and fearing rejection. That Sendai won't like it or want to wear it or something similar. Miyagi is feeling insecure and lashing out as a self-defense mechanism.
But yeah I bet future Miyagi would be embarrassed by this past Miyagi's over the top grumpiness.

Hey... I'm gonna need some of that luck for Topaz (already guaranteed for Lingsha...)

Ah damnit I'll need tons of luck for that too since I desperately need a 5 star healer and I really want Topaz! And giving me even more incentive to pull for them is I can get eidolons for Lil Gui, who might be my favorite character.

But it's clear that Usui is treating Azuki's obsession as alarming and off-putting with these types of depictions:

7 years is a long time when you're transitioning into early adulthood and going through so many life changes. Continuing to obsess over a relationship from high school isn't just creepy, but shows she failed to mature emotionally during such an important period of growth.

I don't know how you could realistically portray her as anything but off-putting and alarming. At this point it's not about what she's into, but the way she decided to engage with it.

I've seen several stories that romanticize continuing to hold a candle for an unrequited crush/someone who rejected them/ex-lover even though it would have been healthier for the character to move on long ago. Oftentimes the character is shown to be incapable of falling in love with someone else, which is depicted as "honorable" or "pure", and the character is eventually rewarded for their loyalty with their long-held love eventually being reciprocated.

Far more rare are stories where a character is shown to move on from this past love to find something new, which seems to be where this story is heading.

^and when there's a soup of cats it's called a chowder

I didn't notice it was the real sister until I read the comments.

Ok now I'm having doubts. Is this the real sister?

I had to go back to double-check. It seems yes it is, based on the blood-related sister's hair being a match for the sillouhette we see when Meguru is talking through the intercom.

what are you talking about, she's literally there in full display in the next page

...I'm apparently not the most observant person. I thought that was just Meguru when I first read it. They look almost exactly alike...almost like they're sisters or something.

I thought it was the contract sister, because I forgot about the real sister existing. It has been a while since I read this. Can't even remember the names.

Yeah I have a pretty hard time remembering names in ongoing manga I'm reading, much less one that I haven't read since the last update 5 months ago. I only recall Meguru's name because there's a Meguru in the Our Love is Disgusting manga that also had an update today.

Out of all the characters'... peculiarities, I find Azuki's utter obsession with Meguru to be by far the most objectionable (although yandere bestie may quickly take that spot). But it's clear that Usui is treating Azuki's obsession as alarming and off-putting with these types of depictions:

She's been stuck in the past and failed to accumulate any new, exciting experiences, as shown by the last page's reaction with her being actually excited by the interaction in the karaoke box and the prospect of their next meeting.

I'm imagining a sadistic scenario where Azuki's obsession gets totally invalidated upon her reunion with Meguru. That Meguru reacts with a mere "Oh we were friends in High School, right?" because she's accumulated many experiences in the 7 years since that's rendered that particular experience with Azuki somewhat unimportant in her memory.

Of course that's not how things are being setup. Meguru appears extremely sex-negative and that experience with Azuki seems to have been a major event in helping give shape to her current feelings towards sex.

Or read in Spanish

AHHHH IT'S BACK!! I MISSED THIS!!!!

I'm not at all surprised they were forced to stop getting frisky, but for some reason was caught completely off guard by the blood related sister returning!

It's gonna get so deliciously messy but ahhhhhh damnit we gotta wait awhile for the next release huh? :(
