Who did Lapis originally want to kill, anyways? Like do you really need a full blown genocide instead of a handful of pokey pokies?

As of now it's framed as "killing all the commoners", so technically genocide (ethnic groups/nation) is a misnomer. Classicide (social class) would be more accurate.

That said we don't know yet what exactly drove her to that point, only lil bits and pieces that could just as likely be clues or misdirections

I feel like this is the loli version of Dragon Maid Kobayashi but why is she so annoying lol

Kusogaki are an acquired taste xD

Apparently the official twitter/x had some announcement recently. Anyone know more about it? I don't do twitter/x.

It was merch for the anniversary

A FUTURE WHERE NO ONE HAS TO LET GO OF WHAT THEY HOLD DEAR HUH? She says with a blush gazing upon both Diana and Lapis. We're so cooking

Okay back up I’m confused didnt they already do it back when they first got together? Evie ate her out I’m pretty sure lmao

That was a flashforward into the future. At the present time in the story they haven't actually done the do yet.

I’ve re-read that scene a dozen times (don’t judge) and I never caught that wtf maybe I’m just dumb lol

It says it right there at the start of the chapter. "A significant amount of time after the events..." xD

So they left Nekomori guessing, but they straight up told it to that old guy? I'm mildly confused about that sequence at the end, and I'm not really sure I understand why wouldn't they just tell her straight up, even before going through that whole charade.

Maybe because they thought she might tell the parents, and they wanted time to run away so they only left her with a clue. I agree though, it would have been nice if they told Nekomori, she deserved to know...hell she should have run away with them honestly lol

It's not all too clear since Nekomori understandably looks like an absolute wreck, but I think her "It can't be" reaction to finding the farewell letter on page 154 is meant to show her realizing they ran away together.

That's the only logical explanation really, bc if Lily had died, there would've been no reason for Hana to return that wet note. so whether Hana left or died together with Lily, the note would be lost either way.

what's the deal with the whole "long strip" format anyway? they're so inconvenient to read.

Those are webmanhua/webmanhwa which are primarily intended to be read on a vertically scrolling smartphone interface. Tech tip: Gecko-based desktop browsers can emulate mobile device interfaces with Ctrl + Shift + M.

Does this work on Mac Firefox? What would change?

Alternatively there's also This user script solution that should work on any browser, where you make a bookmark, copypaste the script into the URL and just click that whenever you read a long strip work (also works with any other manga). That's how I do it.

Being trans isn't so much about "switching" from one gender to another, but more about not being the one you were assigned at birth. Kazuki was afab but is not actually a woman, thus trans applies as far as definitions go.

Huh, I always had it the other way around: trans (in its stem form) meaning "across" implying that, say, a transfemale identifies as female nomatter if amab, intersex, etc. and vice-versa. Do "trans" and "cis" even apply to non-gender dual identities? Does my GNC behind now really has to start the "might I be trans?" thing again? Gee, thanks.

Self-identification is always trump so if Kazuki (or you in this case) don't think you're trans then you're not, that's it imo. Definitions change over time too of course, but the whole "transitioning from one gender to the other" thing that usually gets associated with "being transgender" has such a binary flavor of thinking for me that it just doesn't fit (anymore).

I'm sure you'd get several different definitions when asking other trans ppl but as a trans woman myself, that's how I define it for myself (and at least most trans ppl in my own circle seem to share that idea, which is of course only circumstantial evidence xD)

Also, a honest question: why do some people here equate non-binary immediatly with transgender? Is it because there is surgery involved? I think Kazuki was pretty clear that they (? guessing pronouns here) don't really feel as a man either.

Kishi coming out with the real big brain pairings now

Also as for if they expect the audience to empathize with it, I don't know? I don't self insert into media and I take it generally for what it is. Maybe some people empathize with it, I bet most just consume it as a spicy taboo story.

The taboo def part of it. Forbidden fruit will never not be sweet. As far as empathizing goes, I can def see where it'd come from. Theoretically two people being mutually in love doesn't hurt anyone, so there shouldn't be anything wrong with it.

But obviously there are a lot of circumstances in play that make it complicated/unhealthy (power dynamics, risks of birth defects, criminalization, etc) in real life. So since fiction let's ppl blend those out and focus on the romantic part and make it a "star-crossed lovers" kinda deal, which is p easy to empathize with i guess.

crucial information coming to light on inee's twitter

Man, this would make a killer anime, It has witch from mercury vibes, minus the insane mental conditioning

The mental conditioning comes in the form of the patriarchy and heteronormativity xD

Ticcy feeding the Makoto x Ami fandom all on their own

Noa continues to be the resident agent of chaos xd

Not sure what the purpose is but I don't necessarily mind I guess.

The purpose is p much "what happens when special interest meets artistic talent" ig xD

Ohh it's here! This is an interesting one. I appreciate the research the mangaka is putting in, down to getting the "Early New High German" script on the "no shoes" sign p accurate~ Looking forward to more

Btw, methinks Diana will end up with the Prince, it fits.

mhm i don't see it. Iirc that's how it's originally supposed to go according to the game's story but so far neither of the two have shown romantic interest in the other (or any real interest for that matter) xD Diana has barely started not being hostile towards him

Borzoi really do be the weird, goofy horses of the doggo world.

hah, eat shit rat boy!

I think the translator dropped it for some reason I can't remember, so sad, it was my favorite manga

Maybe bc it's getting simulpubs (or close to that) on the Manga Up! app. The individual chapters go up on nyaa too, that's how I read it.

@BLAMEY I just wanna say, I absolutely love your SFXs. That wiggle swiggle really tickled my funny bone for some reason xD

ADHS?

Maybe ADHD, just a different acronym?

Indeed. That's the acronym we use in German. Bc Disorder = Störung.
