Oh God being transported into a public Bank wearing a fucking little kids costume Jesus Christ. I feel so bad for this woman.

By the way if she's 30 and the other one is only 10, she's old enough to be her mother. Maybe she is and she forgot?

If she got kicked out at 10 live with her dad anymore maybe she decided to live near her mother sought her out. They both might have a hereditary talent for magical stuff, which is why both of then we're chosen for their respective rules.

I like the original ending better where it wasn't implied she might be partially draining her for money.

It didn't feel like Junko got what she deserved. She likes to trample on others and play that kind of game, so her trying to continue climbing doesn't feel like a punishment for her. I would like to see her being more regretful, it was a soft ending for me.

I think it's the perfect ending. We all wanted her to just punishment for what she did, the reality is, getting what she wanted was the worst possible punishment. Her life is empty and full of violence. Everyday wearing a mask. Everyday fighting. Never knowing genuine emotion like love and trust.

I would have thought snatching victory from her would have been a punishment in the end, really letting her have everything she wants is the worst punishment of all.

Kayo thought she lost, but ultimately, she didn't win or lose. Neither didm She escaped. Found something better. Junko is still trapped.

I actually feel really sorry for her. If anything this is her worst possible ending.

Only took 11 years.

"So you're an adult woman in a sexual relationship with my teenage daughter?"

"Yes."

"Yeah, I'm calling the cops."

The nice thing for this author is they can end it any chapter they want by just having them agree to go to couple's therapy.

Yeah this one shot needs a transphobia tag. I dropped it when I got to that part.

He was only treated as a creep because he was a man in drag. Heck we don't even know if he identified as a man. The writer just automatically assumed male pronouns that he must be some kind of creep for wearing a dress despite being assigned male at birth. Really fucked up.

It's a little sad she still hasn't come out even now. I was hoping they'd focus more on their relationship versus office politics, it's nice to see there living together.

Yeah... Watching an adult exploit the labor of a homeless child she also views sexually is pretty messed up.

Like... That girl wasn't just crying because she made a mess. She's crying cuz she has nowhere to go, and is afraid of being tossed on the street. But she's a child so she doesn't understand you can't brag about being able to do things you have no idea how to do.

Children should be taken care of. Not exploited for their labor.

Depends on where you're at. Plenty of places I've been, it would create issues. Besides most of the political mess happening in our country right now is a result of people caring about other people's lives that much.

Yeah, about 7 in 10 people in Japan believe homosexuality is and should be acceptable. Roughly the same as in the US.

Given how terrible labor rights are in Japan, I don't blame people fearing losing their job without recourse for being a minority. It seem pretty safe though in this situation. It's harder to hate them up up close.

I can find I can definitely get behind what Ayaka did now.

It's plane to see that Hiroko did not like being in the closet. She's terrified of being found out. Of her co-workers turning against her. Ayaka coming out like this gives Hiroko a chance to see how attitudes have changed and decide for herself if she feels comfortable coming out now or not.

Ayaka loves Hiroko so much that she took a major risk for her. Ayaka doesn't care about being in the closet. She's not bothered by it like Hiroko is. She's not stupid though. I'm sure she's aware of the risk here. She's putting herself out there and risking the backlash and possibly losing her job or destroying her career. She loves Hiroko that much.

This needs a live action adaptation. It's so good.

Hold on. Does the volume three thing mean we're going to be needing to wait for a while? That there's going to be a pause on chapter releases? Cuz it is technically already spring of 2023.

Well that sucked. :/

Pickpocketing at a convention doesn't sound like a bad idea.

joined Mar 4, 2017

Yeah, Hiroko really needs to work on herself more.

She cares so much for the people around her, but she's not willing to let any of them in. She's terrified of the idea actually being in a relationship with someone. So she makes excuse after excuse to push people away.

A lot of people act like she's being mature about this, but she absolutely isn't. She's not declining Ayaka's advances because it's something she doesn't want. It's because she's something she's too scared to handle: A real, honest to God, committed relationship.

Wow another flashback side story chapter? How many of these are there?!?

Holy shit finally some progress.

The tone of the manga's title and the man get itself is definitely dissonant.

I'm thinking this will end in an argument where she accidentally confesses to her friend that she's in love with Koga.
