one of the most tired-ass tropes + long waits between each chapter makes for a really bad combo

I spotted Patrick, but where's the Bionicle?

uh oh

I guess that whole narration about the femme fatale was actually Koito's inner monologue? As much as i enjoy this, some of the way it's presented is kinda unclear and confusing.

I'm a bit confused about what happened in 65.2. The text in panels 2-3 are internal thoughts and make sense but the images accompanying them as well as the whole of panel 4 are weird to me.

So what does the last page mean? Doesn't seem like the kind of "one day we'll stop playing around and marry faceless men" manga.

Eh, I'm pretty sure it's way more likely that whole thing of "oh once we're all done with our adolescence and school, our idol careers will inevitably make it hard for us to stay connected" that I see done all the time in idol shit like this.

I like the touch of Nico also having a tag still on her hood

finally more sei stella content, but it's tragic
the monkey's paw curls another finger inwards

A new translated DR yuri doujin! One hell of a thing to see. Pretty good too,
Also, is that a beta Mahiru design in the last page?

Oh shit a prequel, nice.
F for Namie.

I mean, I think it's obvious what the intent was, but I have a hard time really getting stuck on it since they barely got anywhere before getting flattened. A clumsy choice of set-up for Sakurako to finally display her action hero powers for Kageko to see, that's for sure though.

rest in pieces NA magireco

also what in the goddamn is that final page

god bless

that demeanor shift was weird, also i feel like a full on kiss should be the point where you have to have some self awareness
thank god this is a oneshot

I almost got pissed off. Tatsubon you card you.

i sort of expected a "let's make purple" line at some point but this is good

gonna need a continuation, maybe

What's the odds that she's not remembering the whole event and the actual lead up to them having sex was different than we're being shown in this chapter?

Yeah, the whole point of the story seems to be that she's piecing together what happened out of fragments of memory, and she's coming to conclusions based on that incomplete understanding. We don't know when Shion confessed, or when Nozomi got drunk.

I mean, I'm not gonna assume the end result might not still be problematic, this is a contentious issue and a lot of people have a dated attitude about it, but a lot remains to be seen at this point.

...oh. I like this take better than my swiss cheese brain take

...this is much worse than the bad vibes I'd gotten. I think I'd have rather it played the closeted homophobia obstacle as opposed to... what feels like the inevitable brushing-off of rape

i could already tell this would be a frustrating series to read through

"I thought you were my friend!"

Am I wrong to get bad vibes from this in combination with her expressions in the last few pages

I see sekihara down there, i'll have to keep an eye out.

I love this development and hate this cliffhanger.

Slightly annoyed Tatsubon randomly threw in an almost-kiss there. Did Nikaidou really look asleep there??

i figure that's just an excuse and the sudden eye contact threw tadokoro off

This was pretty great up until this chapter.
Nothing like non-con sleep touching to make me leery as fuck.
also it felt more like a .5 chapter, like nothing was gained except more questionable morality

maybe i'm just stupid but the way the plot progresses in this series feels way the fuck above my head

either that or it's really awful, but i'm sure it's not that, probably
