I personally prefer Stelfly

It's less people not allowing others to enjoy it and more why do people even ship it

So like did Mei and Sensei actually fuck or was it just a makeout session

If you look at page 0168 when Mei has a flashback, you can see that she and Sensei were naked and panting while they were kissing. Also, for what it's worth, the first page of the chapter is a splash page of Sensei naked under the sheets looking at the viewer is the sort of image you'd see for a typical "Morning After" scene.

So signs are pointing to "Yes, Mei and Sensei did actually sleep together."

As for the endgame, we'll have to wait and see, but looking at Tamamusi-sensei's Twitter page, there's at least one more official artwork there of Mei and Sensei naked together and another artwork of them both together in wedding dresses. Granted, that could just be fan service and isn't a smoking gun, but IMO I'd say the most likely MeiBowl winners from the harem are either Sensei or Riri, followed by Mei's old senpai from high school.

My gut is leaning towards Mei ending up with Sensei though, with with the other four harem girls all being paired together (Riri/Karin, Kaoru/Minato) and Mei finally getting a love confession from her senpai, but having to reject her after moving on and falling for Sensei.

I highly doubt they slept together. The biggest indication is the fact that Mei didn't go crazy over about it. She solely mentions them kissing. Her and Maria would put Maria too far ahead of the others. Plus if they did sleep together their would be no point in making that promise, since they would've already crosses that student/teacher line.

They already way crossed that line by kissing, hiding away together for a getaway, sleeping with each other naked, etc. I'm pretty sure they had sex. The distinction is prob that they can't have a full relationship where they're constantly sneaking around. Maria wants something more stable. One time is fine though. Plus Maria is already ahead of the other girls right now because Mei says she loves only her and rejected the thought of other girls in this chapter. So she does "know which one is love," at the moment.

I doubt they had sex. Mei would've made a much bigger deal out of it. There's never a line or a moment where Mei is a blushing mess over having sex with Maria. It would also feel out of place, since at that point there was no big revelation or anything. Mei just pressed on and Maria gave in. I feel like if the author was to introduce sex into the story it wouldn't be in such a throwaway manner. Also didn't really reject the other girls. She mentions not picking Karin because she doesn't want to get hurt. Remember she believes Karin treats everyone the same way and thinks Karin wouldn't be loyal to her ans just keep kissing other women.

Y'all, I'm aware of the premise, I didn't just pop into the 40th chapter randomly. I know she's inexperienced, I still don't think inexperience equates to just assuming love from every physical encounter. Plus, she doesn't need to have experienced it herself, by college you would be aware of other people's relationships, people dating and breaking up, and also hookup culture. Like, I can fully believe that she is personally inexperienced, I have a friend that didn't date until after college. But that's different than being naive to the point of assuming love in every physical encounter.

This is a comedy yuri harem manga. I feel like you're looking way too deep into this. You're also not taking cultures into account. Not every person is brought up the same. Different cultures play a big part of how people grow up.

I mean, we're on a forum for manga, looking way too deep into things is par for the course. I feel like that's unintentionally putting down comedy as a genre as well. As far as cultures, I don't necessarily disagree but I'm not sure how this applies to this situation. Are you talking about the "culture" of Mei or the author's experience?

To be clear, I don't dislike the manga. I think a lot of the interactions are fun. I don't see why thinking the main character is unrealistically, and to me distractingly, naive is not taking account of the culture, rather than expressing a flaw I find in something I like.

Isn't her being unrealistically naive what makes this a comedy manga. Also being naive and at times clueless is a common trope in harem manga. It's a gag played up for laughs. Not saying you have to like it, but if it's something you don't like I don't think you'll like the rest of the manga. I don't think that's something Mei will be dropping anytime soon. It's a main part of her comedy.

KafStel is so cute

omelette du fromage

Knowing Stelle she is probably trolling SW with an empty box

That's actually something Windsong would say lol.

^ not really. Hoyo really hurt it with that Wise trailer

The thing that always weirds me out with video game harem stories is that the person is falling in love with ai programming creates by someone else. It's like an advanced form of a sex bot in a way. It has such a weird feel to it

Maybe I've missed something but this didn't feel like a yuri story. There was no indication she loved her friend in a romantic way. She just said she feels safe with her around all the toxic men in her life. Maybe it could've become yuri but what we were given doesn't suggest it ends with them together.

I have the same feeling, and I feel the same way about calling her Bi. I don't see much there. It's a sweet story, though and I can assume the author must have meant it as yuri but it's not there on the page, while her het stuff is certainly all over the place..

Exactly. It gives more of a "when you're down and in trouble it's good to depend on those who care for you" kind of vibe. Suggesting she should date her friend just because she was the only one she had a good relationship, despite not having any feelings for her prior, wouldn't be something I suggest someone should do.

I’ve been holding my tongue since I read the Spanish version of chapter 11 part way through the last discussion, but now I can talk about it. Whether or not readers approve of the chapter, this is very revealing in terms of Misa’s motivations.

HitsujiMary was really onto what was happening.

“...I don't know about you guys, but I think Misa's just resolving the inherent emotional conflict of the situation (both from Io from having been assaulted and from Misa's jealousy) by giving Io an actually good, consentual sexual experience.

Sure, it's messy. Sure, she didn't ask how Io was. But it fits both of these characters perfectly. I know it can hurt if you've been in a similar situation, but the point of fiction like this is to portray a particular fantasy with a particular set of rules/logic and expectations- and in this case, this chapter fits perfectly with the expectations that have been set.

It's toxic yuri after all.”

Except not exactly consensual, lol. But it makes sense.

• Misa feels jealous and is possibly afraid Io might have enjoyed it on some level (like Gabinomicon speculated)

• Misa worries Io might be seeking Misa out due to how bad Io’s situation is. The fear is that Io could be putting up with her due to a lack of better option.

• Misa wants to be able to help Io, but couldn’t do anything to protect her and will have to send her back into that dangerous situation. This would have been very disempowering for her.

• If the stuff with the manager was completely nonconsesual / not enjoyed, Misa is frustrated with Io for being passive and not stopping it, eg, letting the manager get in a second hickey like Suimasen Scans mentioned. If Misa can’t protect her, she wants Io to at least do whatever she can to protect herself.

• Misa is aware Io may feel guilty about what happened, especially if Misa criticizes Io for being passive.

Misa’s impulse here, since she couldn’t undo what happened, was to teach Io to stick up for herself, to cover what happened to Io with an even more memorable experience, and then let Io know all was forgiven, thereby cleansing Io in a way. Then she gets carried away in the act, as she tends to with Io.

That’s not acceptable from the perspective of real world morality. I think it does make for an engaging story with consistent characterization.

I don't think any of this makes Misa a good person, and good person for Io, or any better than the manager.

I hope Io gets away from all these terrible people

I love these two

Next part is even better https://x.com/skgl_thx/status/1866769938075226345

It's as if people can have different opinions. Crazy right.

Is this yuri?

I don't think so

Isn't this just catfishes the manga? I'd be furious if someone did this to me in real life. It's super messed up

I never said it equated that but whatever

@Arc_Omega_6 i mean I can't say I really care. Fair is fair no matter who you talk to.

@juanelric again i only call out why someone who clearly dislikes the game goes out of their way to constantly click on Genshin art and complain that they dislike the game, especially when they haven't played it in so long. Who's the one that posted an image about not being able to have fun again? Who's the one calling someone a hypocrite? Seriously I've never seen someone complain so much about a game they don't even play.

And again please show me where I attacked the fanart? It's like you get more hypocritical with every comment. Now you're the one gatekeeping. I guess you read my very first sentence about how I thought the art was funny with your eyes closed.
