Daw, good friends/wingmates for Hane's festival date/and protecting Junna from her former coworkers from trying to bring her back to Barren Hollow's Demon Maze. It's nice to know that they know Junna is a former evil general and support Hane's efforts in helping/getting together with Junna.

It is kind of amusing to see Junna be the dense one. It's not new of course, usually her archetype tends to be the one who wants to go with just the two of them since she may not get along with the dense heroine's friends/rivals/etc. The teasing by Tenkai and Hisuigura was effective in getting Hane to be honest.

Make sure your legs are healed before you get down to it~ (unless you and your partners are okay with it)

Huh, I thought they were dating already. Reading all the chapters back there were some where they were just friends, but others where there was an implication of dating, but I guess it was ambiguous.

Yeah, Junna refers to them planning to go to the cafe together as a date but it seems like they haven't actually confessed yet which I guess is why the title refers to crushes even if I agree with the person a while back that Hane is the one who crushes harder although I do think it's more about Junna slowly coming to terms with her feeling for Hane while Hane is already all-in but held back by her guilt.

Also, Junna as the top moment~

Poor Hane :( but hahaha, she slept hugged Junna for 3 hours and then apologized in dogeza, probably to hide her beat-red embarrassment. Also Hane's love language is hugging huh? I guess it's obvious upon rereading it but yeah, she do like hugs.

Now that I think about it though, upon rereading Chapter 1 because I wanted to check if her comment on "being the only one allowed to defeat Hane" has a double meaning on freeing her from the magical girl stuff but it seems ambiguous. I guess if I were to just read it at face value is that going by Chapter 1, Junna very much likes Hane, and is positively influenced by her but she is still seeking to regain her powers seemingly to get a rematch? Or maybe it's for something else? I guess old habits as a villain in a magical girl show dies hard even if it will likely be for love.

This was the part I was waiting for since reading ahead because I was just as confused about the nature of Junna's past. I don't really have anything new to say that haven't been said although I am willing to let the author cook with this one. I think ckretaznmayden's theory is pretty on point on solving the age dilemma and in any case, the magical girl Junna is basically buried deep and it's not like current Junna seems to remember anything on her time as one at the moment. A potential hook if the author decides to bring any other older/previous magical girls that used to work with Junna before her loss to the dark side.

I am a little disappointed that Junna ended up as a magicial girl first -> turned bad -> turned to neutralish (but not exactly the same person as when she was a magical girl) since it does kinda undermine what I expected from the evil general concept (mainly being born evil who learns to be better because she likes and was saved by the magical girl) but I believe it is kind of a staple with villians in magicial shows to usually be from humans that were corrupted either for the week or as a major antagonists so by all means, I ended up being okay with it.

I also do enjoy Hane's despair with the whole ordeal, even if Junna is saved for now and no longer works for the evil organization. There is a sense of tortured guilt having hurt the exact one who saved you and inspired you to become a magical girl in the first place. Of course, not to mention the potential future where Hane might end up being pressured to kill Junna for real due to the consequences of Junna being a former evil general (or more likely, mirror Junna by turning bad as a result of this ordeal). Good stuff.

Big reveal...oh sorry, uh...I was looking at the scar, I swear!

Can't wait for the next one.

I am sad :(

I know the series is probably owned by their publisher or something but can we please have some cameo for Suuna and Ruka in Shino and Ren? I want to see how their relationship grows in both similarities and difference between them.

A classic. Cute Hana in her usual routine vs super serious overprotective Hana (and there is a reason for it if you read ahead). There was an inkling of this aspect in chapter 0 when she pulled Junna over from the rude bumper guy.

Lemon and Sou are also cute, I wonder if they are aware of Junna's true identity at least Lemon is aware enough of how nonchalant Junna is with the whole magicial girl procedure.

I wonder how she'll turn around this time but it was basically a long time coming since she has been coasting on everything so far, while we got some setup for the relationships of the side characters.

I am a little excited to see how this will all play out with Yoshida. The chapter with Aoi hit me quite hard with the ambiguous tragedy that I am curious to find out how it transpire when she does confront her over her disappearance/death.

There is also the case with Yoshida's mother since it's brought up at the beginning of the chapter. From my suspicion with how it seems so far, either Yoshida's mother will essentially save her daughter from the death flag and the events that transpire will also somehow allow Yoshida to sort of let Konoha go or vice-versa if there is a hit ordered on Yoshida for Konoha.

((The save here just means that either Yoshida reunite with her mother and bows out or that her mother turns out to be the antagonist of the arc revealing to have been the one who ordered the hit on her father, dies to Konoha, and Yoshida just decides to go away from it all))

Or she does end up dying to Konoha likely marking a tone shift for either the rest of the series or just the next two chapters.

I guess you could interpret this as nature and time screwing with civilization.

Junna form has never been seen by anyone (Except for her pink hair waifu who obviously knows...I am going to be shock and surprised if pinky doesn't actually know her waifu's true identity...All the text and their interaction plus author text dialog implies they both know)

I wanted to ask eariler if Hane knew about who Juuna is, and for what it's worth the series has kept this aspect pretty vague at first but Chapter 4 seems to confirm that Hana knows. I only just realized the dialogue throughout page 4 of that chapter was between the two OLs.

Augh not the girl using ai for school. Brb perishing

At least it's on brand, the main girl is a scumbag afterall.

I assume the joke here is that Unika is into clothes? Is it a lore thing?
