I just love that smug look on her face that screams "Surprised?".

So that's how she became like this. It seems she suffers from a horrible trauma. This just became too depressing to read. Hopefully the series will end with her overcoming her trauma or something? I mean it's probably the most logical ending barring bad ends of course.

It feels really rushed as everyone was saying. Too much characters just showed up and died almost immediately with little to no background on who they were. No reason was given why the organization does these school battle royale, just to give two girls a wish? Uh.. What?

In the end, it seems that Karen set it up so that she and You can win but didn't really matter when to her when they instead went out the passage since she's getting You anyway. I was expecting Marika and Akane to end up together and they did one way or another, just not romantically. Kind of sweet how they remained loyal (?) to their partners after the years. The hairstyle swap though and the scars were a nice touch.

Bloody hell...

Wow... I'm speechless. I love it, so delightfully painful yet beautiful.

I thought it was going to be heartbreaking and full of aaaaaaaanggst, but I didn't see the tags and was pleasantly surprised.

I was actually expecting Pure as the otaku type cause well...

Somehow they felt really familiar design-wise and I realized why.

I love this one. It felt strangely satisfying for some reason.

Number 1 delinquent?

No wonder he fell for Chio, I mean look at his role model.

@MagiMaki - I see, so that's what that means. Doesn't make it less horrible though. It's all a cruel irony.

"And you call yourself Mercy, Dr. Angela Ziegler!"

This is so horrible... I like it.

I thought the ending was like a repentance for D.Va. Since it was mentioned that the Meka was only half as well as her body, I thought that she had herself fused to the machine, to prove to Mercy that she was sorry about her pride. It was this realization that crushed Mercy into despair. Seeing that D.Va sacrificed herself, her body and her ideals, just to meet her in the battlefield and save her. Or maybe it was just a really powerful attack that ripped her and her Meka in half, I don't know.

The message could be more general, such as the atrocities of war bringing out the worst in everything. The doctor herself causing the injuries as well as a young pro gamer being enlisted for war. That moment where Mercy was desperately trying to revive D.Va, scrambling around knowing she was the cause of it all and the realization that it was already too late... For the doctor, that was beautifully heartwrenching.

It's a really good read and I like the fact that there is a development between Keine and Eirin, not just they were in love with each other just because. Hoping to see something similar between Mokou and Kaguya! Another thing I enjoyed about it is the relation between Keine/Mokou and Eirin/Kaguya being best friends like "bros" (sis's?). It actually seemed natural and believable for me. Lastly, those hugs were really warm.

It's really adorable! Good to see that Fran actually cares for her. I really thought that she'll be lonely after Mary left but I forgot that this is Itou Hachi, so that's a relief.

However, on the topic of beastkin training and adoption, I just wonder how they evaluate which ones are fit for a master since at first they so cute, adorable, fluffy and cuddly... Anyway, what if they grow older and their feral instincts take over? Of course since they are beastkin, they have these different traits depending on their beast half. Ooooh I wish to see a timeskip where Mel is fighting her instincts - both her violent side and her not so violent side. I mean, you know, when it's that season of the year when they want to do... stuff. I want to see how master would handle such a situation. It would be interesting to see.
