Diana is not a yandere, just a shonen protagonist who's getting deprotagonized and doesn't know how to deal with it.

that's such a sick idea, i love genre play like this.

although, wasn't she an otomege protagonist, not a shounen one?

In the original, the MC summons three dragon and uses them to battle another mage, fairly early on. I suspect it was at least a little bit more combat oriented then the typical romance. (It's actually described as an RPG app in the first chapter.)

With that said, Diana jumping to using cutlery to defend Natori struck me as a bit odd, particularly when she when she repeated the act with a fork hidden behind her back. It's not just the tendency towards violence that makes it odd, either. Cutlery just doesn't make for a good armament, especially when you have magic, and I'd have to imagine even an empty hand would be more useful than a fork, if she really thought she might need to defend Natori from the prince.

I wonder if her behavior was meant to foreshadow something about her past, or the state of the world, rather than her current mindset.

This makes for an interesting contrast to This Isekai Maid is Forming a Union. I'm not sure how the protagonists of each series would feel about each other.

Shen's tsun-tsun makes so much sense when she grew up with a narcissist that she's somehow still attracted to. And to be fair to her, Jiang is a lovable narcissist. She's still very human and their interactions are pretty cute.

I don't think that she's a narcissist, so much as she doesn't understand the emotional component of ... just about anything related to other people.

That narration on the first two panels totally wasn't straight outta Kaguya-sama at all, amirite?
Also Nekolizer was the perfect date movie.

This is kinda the last manga you'd expect to find well-drawn guns in, but here we are I guess.

It's from Tatsubon, cute but also surprisingly good hardboiled scenes is kind-of their thing. Just look at Liberta or Tadokoro-san.

What is she holding at the start?

Not too sure about this one. On one hand, would she have wanted to not be alone if she was transmigrated to a nice household? And, why isn't she concerned about her family, which should be the appropriate response either way? Why was she so happy about the money?

AKA, It seems like she has forgotten quite a few modern ethics, and important people in her life (like the crush she was just right next to a few minutes ago) all of a sudden. Is her head just messed up right now? If I was in such a position, my most immediate external worry would be about my friend that I was just suddenly seperated from.

The second person's transmigration scene was all good, tho.

If any one is interested, 'This Isekai Maid is Forming a Union!' has an interesting take on that sort of stuff.

While I don't entirely agree with some of your analysis, I did just finish bingeing This Isekai Maid, and I can second it being very good. So, thanks for that recomendation.

Wasn't Kyoko's home situation ... less than great?

It's a well done piece, but the thumbnail made me think this was for Jormungand, so now I'm a bit disapointed.

I don't think she's testing Fuyuki, but there is definitely something off going on. The way she accepted his confession was ... less than enthusiastic and when she asked Fuyuki about getting a boyfriend during the sleepover, it didn't sound like she got the answer she was hoping for.

I'm not entirely sure why she agreed to start dating him, but I feel like she was looking for a reason not to.

Should this be a part of the same series as the other two pics?

yeah the introduction of the senpai really clinches it: kawase is only making out with that other girl because the other girl needs an outlet and kawase gave up

Huh. My running theory is that the sempi likes to play around and is the reason Kawase has a such a low opinion of herself.

... Does she have hairclips resting on the middle of her forehead? That seems somewhat counterproductive. ... How am I just noticing those!

It looks like she's not the only one who thinks 19 might be too much of an age gap.

Anyone wanna bet how long till she eats her words? (⁰͡ ͜ʖ⁰͡ )

Three chapters, four tops.

Literally 2 panels.

I don't know we're this ship came from (haven't watched pokemon since gen 3)
But for some reason I'm really okay with it! XD

I think this artist might be the source.

Is Hua Fang supposed to be someone we already know?

I just remembered that guy Logan Paul puting thoses color blind glasses, so funny. The girl is right at being surprised about the nude drawing, an adult being naked in front of a teenager, in this situation, is really innapropriated.

Eh. The fact that they're alone is a little odd, and potentially problematic, but he also seems to be the only one who's serious about art. Beyond that, nude figure drawing is a fairly common practice; there's not anything sexual—or even particularly sexy—about it.

About it being sexy or not, I believe this must highly depend on the subject's sensuality, and the setting, etc. And, in Sakura-sensei's case as a character, she is hella sensual IMO!

As a viewer, sure. As the artist, you've kind-a got to focus on the art and also breaking her down into basic shapes that you can compose into a drawing, assuming you actually care about the art and it's not just extended flirting.

Now that the dub is starting I have finally caved and started watching my first Gundam show. It's a bit of a daunting franchise to get into with like 20+ shows...

A lot of the shows are their own, stand alone, things, so you don't need to worry too much about the franchise's long history.

Anyways, check out this sequence. I kinda didn't notice at first (when the raws came out)

Thanks for calling out the details! I missed most of that myself, too.

I guess it starts with Uncle scratching at Mitsuki's door worrying about her, then hears Aya's knock?

He's scratching his head.

Guys, I think this chapter tells us that Mitsuki lives above the record shop, probably with her Uncle, or at least HE lives above the shop and Mitsuki has a bedroom for herself

Personally I think Koga lives in another house because of the "fever chapter"; could be Koga went to buy something outside of course, but if not, it's strange she got so caught in the storm if it isn't that she came from her house.
Another thing, when she already was sick, we saw a stairs, could be a two floor house or a back house? sorry dont know how to say it in english, basically that it could be in the back.
From this chapter if we take the hours like "it's happening now", the knock at the CD store was at 20:40 but Aya got in Koga room at 21:04, so they did travel if this was the case.
And final, the bagpack Koga carries at work and we saw that there she puts some clothes, and is the one we saw in the chapter 8 and 10. Can be for convenience to not go upstairs and downs each time or because this is what she brings from her house. Tho she has a restroom's shop there too.

Wish we could have a official info about this hahaha

I think this is the correct explanation. Aside from fitting the timeframe better (and explaining why so much emphasis was put on the exact time), it also fits some of the minor details better.

We see her knocking on the CD store's door on page three and the Uncle probably let her in, at that point, since he can be seen from the door and the next panel is him looking up. Then, on page 4 we get this sequence:

Somone calling Koga's name > A door slamming > Aya pulling off her boots while a car engine can be heard in the background> Aya stomping up the stairs > and finally Aya bursting into Koga's room.

This sequence is a little odd if we assume the first part is her uncle trying to get her attention or Aya calling her after she's already been let in. In either of those situations, I'd expect the boots to come off first or, at least, at about the same time as the uncle was calling out—assuming she bothers taking them off at all, while angry enough to slam internal doors with the uncle standing right next to her—Similarly, if she was let in, before calling out, I'd expect the first and only door that gets slammed to be Koga's.

On the other hand, if we assume it was Aya shouting for Koga from outside her window, things slot together much more cleanly.

Aya shows up at the CD store looking for Koga > Uncle tells her she's at home > Uncle drives Aya over > she starts shouting for Koga, while still outside, expecting Koga to respond > Koga fails to respond, so Uncle lets Aya and then turns to make a break for it > Aya slams the door shut, out of frustration > Aya pulls off her boots and we hear Uncle driving away > she then stomps up the stairs and things get pretty clear after that.

It's also worth noting that Mu is guaranteeing her apartment (iirc), so there is a somewhat problematic power dynamic there

Number one dumbest comment in all this thread, so congrats I guess.

Rude.

It's also worth noting that Mu is guaranteeing her apartment (iirc), so there is a somewhat problematic power dynamic there, in so much as Mu could mess with her housing, but given the other factors involved, that doesn't seem terribly likely.

She isn't guaranteeing her apartment, she told the landlady that she would just manage it, so like clean and maintain, do make ready after she leaves, that kind of thing. She wouldn't have any actual power over the rental, just making sure that everything is being taken care of properly.

I may be misremembering it, but I thought part of the issue was renting the property for such a short time (or without a guarantee of a longer stay) wouldn't be worth it. If it was just a matter of putting in the physical labor to get the place ready and clean it up after she moves out, then it's a non-factor.

You wouldn't happen to remember which chapter the conversation took place in?

Edit: The discussion took place in chapter 10. You were correct that it wasn't a financial issue, just not having the energy to manage a one-month rental.

That's why, for Xingyuan's sake, finding a community she can trust is more important than entering into a relationship. If Xiaoen can help her with that, I don't think the age difference will be a factor anymore.

It's noteworthy that putting together such a community seems to be part of Xiaoen's plan for the town. If that is the case, then it might be interesting to see Xingyuan's take on what she's accomplished and the people she's attracted.

With that said, the poses continue to be amazing. Something about the way Xingyuan is holding her on page 3 is really striking.

Isn't Master Spark far from Yuka's strongest ability?

So, a highly flustered Yukari and a Flan that's the voice of reason and restraint? Truly this doujin was amazing in many ways.

Also, the art and story were top notch.

Huh. It's not often that the sickly little sister is also a genki girl.
