way the hell is this taged as fucking yuri only for them to end as friends? wtf?!?!?!?

i was happy this was compleat, so i read the last chapter to only see them being friends!!! UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

That's what you get for being lazy and not reading the whole thing. :-) Had you read the full story, you would have understood what it means that Ruby is losing her powers in the last chapter.

Still waiting on that communist sentai series

Indeed, comrade.

And Linda is in the back, like, really, masters? You haven't realized yet?

My guess is that the previous Black Knight was the woman whom Frost keeps seeing in her flashbacks. Frost must have picked up her armor after her death, which explains why she is so clumsy in using it.

My theory is that the "dragon" that attacked is the previous black knight and that's why the "Black Knights" are special compared to other knights. They have a unique power (The armor?) but it comes at the risk(?) of losing control and turning into a dragon and that's what happened to the last one. It's also why Frost is so closed off, because she had to fight (and kill?) her predecessor whom she cared about, and she's worried about getting close to anyone in case she ever transforms herself.

That sounds metal, but I do not think that it's very plausible, for two reasons: first, the dragon was said to have been red, not black. I know it sounds somewhat silly, but color-coding is traditionally important in henshin plots. Secondly, while this page clearly shows that the BK armor corrupts its wearer in some way, it's quite a leap from there to turning into dragons. If the previous BK turned into that dragon from wearing the armor, I do not see a plausible sequence of events of how that armor ended up with Frost. IMO it still makes much more sense that the prev. BK was defeated by the dragon (possibly weakened by the corruption), and Frost took up her armor in her honor. She did not have to kill her mentor with her own hands to be traumatized by her sudden and gruesome death.

Aoi is so pure, it hurts my eyes just to look at her. No wonder that her colleagues have already formed a posse to protect her from the outside world... such preciousness must be safeguarded at all costs.

Can we just appreciate for a moment how handsome the two leads look in casual clothes in this chapter? Also, the new pairing (Violet x Shion?) are very easy on the eye, too. I am assuming they rep the Graat company?

a city that's not real. Like Bielefeld or smth~

I see what you did there. =__=

Well, I won't say "I knew it!", but...I thought something like that might be the case.

I, on the other hand, am completely caught off-guard by this twist. :D

Noooo not a jealousy arc! I wanted to see them talking about their issues! I WANTED TO SEE THEM DO PAINPLAY TOGETHER!!! Why must you dangle a prime steak in front of me and then pull it out of reach…

It'll be alright. I wouldn't panic just yet.

Now that the Love triangle has basically been confirmed, can we panic yet? ;__;

What a blast from the past! Many thanks to the translators for picking this up again. :-)

I was just mentally putting this in my “yuri webtoons I like that got dropped by scanlators” list yesterday. Delighted to see it back!

Just to be clear, this series really is that infrequently updated!

Welp. O__O This is gonna be a long century, then...

What a blast from the past! Many thanks to the translators for picking this up again. :-)

Erika dropping truths onto Koto that she does not want to hear, even if she has an ulterior motive.

Also, really happy that the Mystery subplot has finally been picked up again.

I wish DuanS a swift recovery, whatever she has going on.

Also, is the next arc (after the Wedding Arc, natch) about clearing the Smollets' names?

"Lesbians are not good with communication" is just a trope and not a real thing, right?

"Most people are not good at communicating their feelings" is not a trope, unfortunately, but a harsh reality. That's why romance fiction is all over this topic...

I still cannot get over how badass Clarice was in chapter 5, so I have to overanalyze it. What even is "badass"? To me, it's not about kicking ass, but about acting brave and clever at the same time. Like so many manga protagonists, Clarice charges into danger with nothing but plot armor to protect her... is what I'd say, but that's not true! She actually takes a very, very calculated gamble: she sees that Frost is handicapped by the present of the merchant and his daughter. So she recognizes a very clear tactical goal: evacuate the civilians, so that Frost can fight without fear of killing them. She also knows that she stands no chance against the monsters in a direct combat, so she goes through her options and picks out two: a) use her advanced cooking skills to craft pepper bombs (a subversive one-use weapon targeting the enemy's weak point), and b) stick close to Frost for protection. From that, she develops a plan: close the distance from the house to Frost using pepper bombs (retreat if they fail), rely on her to cover her retreat with the merchant, use the remaining bombs to clear the return path, if necessary, then finally let Frost do her fireworks. It's simple, has a clear goal that is commensurate with her abilities, relies on reasonable assumptions (dogs fear pepper, Frost is protective of her wife) -- but still requires considerable guts even to attempt. So, Clarice's actions are both brave and smart -- in other words, she is a badass (and IMO much more so than her "husband").

I am very happy about how quickly these two are gaining on the Idiot couple tag.

I think Frost is a lonely, neglected kid on the inside, who has learned to project the angry, rough demeanor to keep others away and thus to protect herself from negative feelings that she has never been taught how to simply sit with. She also does not seem to be particularly well-trained in using her power armor, judging by the amount of collateral damage she has caused in every fight so far. The collateral damage makes other people fear her, so she pushes them away, relying instead only on herself, ending up even more lonely and neglected, perpetuating the feedback cycle.

Loving Clarice so far! She's level-headed rational and a go-getter which is nice to see instead of protags being just one extreme. Hoping Frost's cold demeanor 'thaws out' a bit and she starts opening up a little. Right now she's so aloof that it's a bit hard to have any impressions of her. Still acting like she wants to kill Clarice half the time isn't really fun to read.

Clarice is amazing and badass. Frost has no chance in hell of resisting her charm, though she'll certainly try her best.

Well, here's to hoping this is the start of a long and successful career voicing villains.

...and always opposite Yugure voicing the pure white lily heroine. Also, the leads look great in those sci-fi suits on the cover.

It's nice watching the Emperor's Lily Court Party begin to take shape, though I am likewise worried about why the Dowager let Ming Wei out so easily. Perhaps she had an underling follow them and pickpocket Tantai Lan's purse to embarrass her in public? In that case, it's time to flex your tactical thinking, General. :3

Easily my favorite chapter of this story so far. Cute Ada x Kaye hijinx is what this should have been about all along. ^^

PS: IMO Kaye's outfit so much more stylish than Ada's.

Thank God Narita is getting the story back on track.

Narita has been almost single-handedly keeping this story on track from the moment he was introduced. Clearly the MVP without contest.

You reap what you sow, I guess.

It almost feels like Ouka-senpai's intentionally dodging out of situations where she can have sex with Asumi-chan, which makes her stand out as one of only two characters in this series, along with Mai, to not have had sex with Asumi-chan yet.

I've noticed that both times Asumi has had a threesome, it has been directly or indirectly set up by Ouka -- is it perhaps foreshadowing that Senpai only does threesomes? That would explain why she always dodges out in the last moment: she needs a third wheel to get her going, like Mai or even Nanao. As long as it's just Asumi on her own, the Senpai Arc cannot start...

Yoru used Unconditional Love -- it's super-effective! Hime went to sleep.

(...she'll wake up in the morning with a fresh set of all-new anxieties in her head, stay tuned!)

And that, kids, is why communicating your feelings badly is still better than not communicating them at all. If you admit to your SO that you're jealous, they can do something about it. If you don't, you'll just end up being a standard romance manga love interest.

Hey, have you seen what the * Japanese Cold * is capable of? Lighter cases come across as a particularly bad flu with the usual respiratory issues and lethargy, but especially bad cases are practically coma adjacent, or include delirium, ataxia, and hallucinations.[1] If I was at risk of that by just not drying my hair properly, I'd be concerned too!

[1] Solely referencing depictions in media, reality may differ.

Luckily, that particular flu strain appears to not affect individuals of low intelligence, as well as people who date tsunderes and therefore get called "baka" a lot.[2]

[2] Ibid.

You know, for a pair who supposedly get on each others' nerves all the time, Amane and Haruno are exceptionally drift-compatible. I hope we see more of them later...
