Look, it's not like I don't think Dwarves should be teachers or anything, but is there really no one on campus or in a nearby town who can tailor Brynn's clothes for her? I mean come on, its bordering on unprofessional here.

I'd joke about it being a fashion statement because Yuna clearly has size appropriate clothes to wear.
But honestly that would have to be it. Either pruposefully on Brynn's part or on the author's,

She also quite literally says in this chapter that "clothes do make a person"

So what's the deal with her then, does she secretly want to be the best, like no one ever was? :P

I was hoping the baseball will come back when they take that photo, but maybe the author is playing the long game and it will materialize in another strip

Why is this one suddenly in most popular after 5 years lol

This is all fine and dandy until divorce day comes along (it's surely a thing according to someone :P)

How did Hinata manage to tell Shio and Takamine "a little" about Hoshino being worried about something if they literally just arrived? I must be misinterpreting what's happening here because I'm rereading it and it makes no sense, Hinata had literally no time to "spill the beans" :P

Then the manga is not for you.

Probably :P We'll find out for sure soon enough and I promise you will not have to read my further comments in that case.

But I would suggest you should judge that based on the chapter as a whole, and not the usage of this one particular word.

I think it at the very least allows me to make a good educated guess about what comes next, considering it's the literal conclusion of the whole first chapter.

I couldn't care less if people don't like this manga. I just find it bizarre that so many people (not just you) didn't merely click away after not liking it but felt the need to post multiple times (...)

I think this is very easily explainable actually, it looked relatively innocent for the good chunk of that chapter :P I don't see why people should stop themselves from leaving negative comments.

That this manga didn't receive nearly the same reaction despite being objectively morally worse indicates to me this isn't about morality, it's about a learned disgust reaction people have developed to the specific term "NTR."

Again, quite easy to explain, everyone bothered about morality or whatever will just skip it based on tags.

Consider: it's a joke meant to signal the protagonist is the idiot lead of an ecchi comedy manga.

I certainly understand that this was the intent, the problem is that I don't find that bit funny and I can't really imagine I will be very amused by the rest of it if this is the standard we're setting :P

So it really is you two have a strong negative reaction to the term "NTR" specifically?

Kinda yes? It just signals to me that the rest of this series will run on porn logic with a porn-brained character, should I now assume that the rest of the series will be magically about something else? I'm not even necessarily opposed to have cheating in stories but this one went for this specific term, displaying it front and center, it surely means something.

I will probably continue with this one a bit but my expectations are very, very low :P

oh yeah it's cucking time and then she cucked all over the place...

XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

I apologize for the incredibly stupid Morbius joke but I couldn't help myself lol

no apologizing, not only was this funny but also spot on

But the friend isn't dating anyone at the moment. We don't even know if this guy likes her or even knows her. He just helped out once. No one is being cucked.

That's how she framed it though, doesn't even matter if it's true or not :P Overall it's plenty of reasons why this strongly doesn't appeal to plenty of people.

I'm not expecting anyone to defend why they don't like NTR, hell I don't not like it, I just wonder why people have such visceral reaction to exactly this doujin.

I kinda stated it above, but I really think it's just because it feels like a bait-and-switch, maybe unintentionally - first 20 pages feel relatively normal :P If you include like next 10 it's getting a bit horny and stupid but whatever, on the last two pages it drops the bomb out of the blue, completely spelled out with zero nuance.

I'm not expecting much from this one, but I think the reason it's upsetting to people is this weird tonal whiplash it produces - for the most part from the start it kinda looks like it will be your run of the mill fluffy yuri, but suddenly it just switches to dumbest porn logic imaginable :P I could kinda see why realizing your love after vigorous masturbation could be seen as kinda funny to someone, but then she literally goes to "let's do that stupid porn thing to win her over", so I have absolutely zero expectation for anything. Even if this is going to be just porn, it's not even the good porn.

That boy she fawned over could be a girl to begin with and it wouldn't change a thing for me.

And yes I didn't pay attention to the tags, so maybe it's just all my fault :P

Can't help but feel it's quite telling that it took Nisshi like what, 1-2 chapters to "escape her shell"? :P Also I understand that Nisshi doesn't know, but it's still weird she apparently thought it's a great idea to confess in Asako's presence, while she's hiding nearby lmao

Finally a chapter where Tsubame doesn't seem to vaguely hint at falling into despair... also, end of volume 2, and it doesn't seem like it was any sort of definitive ending, so hopefully the manga continues... ?

Lmao at Mai-san's "old man yells at cloud" complaints about kids and their attention span, I'm always a bit sceptical about these claims :P I remember lots of inattentive kids in class even before mobile phones were widespread, I doubt it was any easier to get them to enjoy a play back then:P

I forgot it's the day of shitty jokes today, this one is impressive because it overstays its welcome literally after 1 page

Is Mai-san effectively saying "you better write more plays or I'll steal your girlfriend into my troupe"? :P

That was a bit of a low-key chapter, but I guess it must set the stage (hehe) for something else next :P Also, we had a minor appearance of my personal favourite, aka "what is this feeling" (even if it wasn't the focus).

Not sure if that whole thing was supposed to imply that the "bystander" is Tsubame's actual "inner self" or not, I guess we'll see.

So we found the plot trinket that contained literal plot explanation in it, it turns out it changes absolutely nothing, and also brother is back I guess? At least the romance part is consistently pretty good, you have to turn your brain off for the rest of this nonsense :P

Interesting that we now have confirmation that men existed in the "real world" Nana is from.

We knew that from the first pages of the first chapter, Nana is talking to her mother on the phone about her husband... not to mention, I would probably assume so even if that little detail wasn't there, since it would be very weird to have a plotline about teleporting to another world, and having the original world be different than the actual real world (now that I think about it, are there any examples of that kind of storyline ever? usually the referenced "original world" has so little screentime that it never actually matters).

... also, a little thing obvious in hindsight, why would Hannah have to knock on your window instead of on your door, when she's effectively the host? Some fuckery is happening here.

Their motivations are easy to get and teenagers being a touch insecure and selfish (Diana) or stubborn in their plans (Lapis) is what makes a plot move forward.

Speaking of that, I completely forgot by now what is that plan by Lapis, was that even revealed? Killing everyone or something? I don't remember except that it's all for the sake of that guy becoming the king for some reason, which at this point no one wants including him :P

Maybe I forgot but do we know how experienced Sumie is (she seems in control and comfortable)?

Vague flashbacks about a tutor or something was all we got, so who knows :P

I know it's somewhat friendly and all, but "will you take me if no one else wants to" sounds to me like a backhanded jab, no one really wants to be someone's last resort :P
