screeches internally

I went to the tag to see if this is the ship I thought it is. I was not disappointed.

I've got mixed feelings from this part of thos chapter. Hopefully it changes in the next part. I don't want the prediction I made after reading chapter one to go to shambles.

^ Yeah, I can actually share from my experience. My GF and I have some things in which we're different (most notably gender, musical tastes and religion (or, in my case, lack-thereof), tho, to a lesser extent, also when it comes to food tastes and tv series preferences) but we also got some startling similarities (both of us are history enthusiasts, both of us like memes, comedy, romance, romcoms, we have similar political and ideological beliefs, and, while, as I said before, we do have differences in food and tv series preferences, they do, in a large part, align).

Well, I see that neither iteration of my joke hadn't lifted off. Bummer.

This does ignore the central premise of the series— Koguma always gives her consent to what Hino does. Koguma might very well end up in kink-ville, but it will be because she wants to.

Why isn't my mind boggling? Why does that make sense to me?

Next chapter it's gonna be super lewd but it was all just Kaguma dreaming about it hahaha and waking up as "W-What did I have a dream like that?!"

Lmao. Too bad that predictions on what might happen in future chapters of this manga are always varying degrees of incorrect. sigh

What can be more lewd than going to toilet while holding hand ?

Interlocking fingers while sleeping in the same bed.

I'd be infinitely amused if Koguma woke up next chapter and it'd turn out that Hina after all wasn't able to resist and had done unspeakable lewd things(tm) to her in her sleep.

"Unspeakable lewd things"

Like what? Laying next to her on the bed, interlocking fingers and falling asleep and keeping their fingers interlocked for the entire duration of the two of them sleeping?

"I didn't mean it like that."

It's at that point I knew they started thinking something lewd about each other.

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

You all have fun with your imaginary ships, but we all know that it’s incredibly unlikely that this story will waste any time or energy Pairing the Spares.

Yeah, tell that to Midori and Manaka.
Or at least their most hardline shippers, like BugDevil and (to a lesser extent) myself.

They’re more of a side couple, though, not a last-minute shipping roundup. I’d even say a Doujima/Akari hookup would be side-couple, since it’s been lightly foreshadowed.

Anyway, Sayaka’s clearly going to crash the cafe couple and snag the owner . . .

I think it's at this point that it becomes obvious to everyone that I haven't bothered to read the TVTropes page you linked.

Wait, shit! Since it's bedtime here, despite triple-checking, I'm still not sure if I attributed the posts correctly... I couldn't live down having made the same error two nights in a row!

sayaka should hook up with that harumin girl from that lemon manga

I would normally comment something on that "lemon manga" but I promised Nezchan not to do that for at the very least the rest of July, so I'm just gonna stay put.

^Of all possible people, you choose Maki who has no interest in romance whatsoever?

Yeah but everyone else is taken so i take what i can, the other option is Koyomi tho.

Not impossible, but, at least from where I stand extremely unlikely. Like - extremely extremely extremely unlikely.

But, hey, stranger things (like the Abbasids and Tang making an alliance right after their massive conflict in Central Asia) have happened.

…So this has been the most viewed thing on Dynasty in the last week. Didn't expect that. XD

DIdn't you know that Dynasty is a desert? The thirst is real...

To be fair, summer is really hot this year

Yeah... today I was watching a roughly one-year-old video of r/gatekeeping, and some news outlet put on the internet that a sportswoman was worn down by, and I quote the news outlet "the scorching" 23°C temperature. I paused the video and was like "Bitch, please. Here in Podgorica, when it's summer, we put the air conditioning on 23°C in order to COOL OURSELVES DOWN.".

Well... that's what I get for commenting in half past 10 PM.

I feel like I was either or both half-asleep and focused on reading something about the Napoleonic Wars at the time, so maybe that explains my error. My apologies, Blastaar.

Now, I guess nobody would mind if I wallow in my self-disappointment for the next few hours

... I feel like we're halfway towards a concrete confirmation that there were actually two times the two Marikas changed worlds...
The plot thickens with each part of a chapter, and I'm internally conflicted over whether that's supposed to be a good thing or a bad thing!

Next chapter: time-skip 10 years. Touko is a district educational administrator assigned to investigate charges of lesbians sexually abusing students at the high school where Yuu is the beloved “tough-but-fair” PE teacher.

Someone please make a doujin of BugDevil's idea.

Also, I'm FINALLY back from my 3-day self-imposed exile!

BV, give it a rest with self-promoting your meme videos. It's okay in the Cafe or the Discord, but no place else on the site.

To say nothing of how off-topic your views on representative democracy, which to the best of my knowledge Their Story isn't about. So maybe next time you want to apologize for changing topics, maybe hit the back button instead and don't.

Yeah, understood. Now, what I'm about to say isn't really a defence, but more of an explanation of myself - often I tend to change topics due to real-time word association. The fault's all mine and while I can control it to an extent, it seems to be an unfixable problem. I'll try to keep it an in-thoughts-only thing as much as I can (and honestly I actually did/do so for the majority of stuff; I've lost count of how many times I had such mental rounds of real-time word association just from reading or merely thinking about these forums...).

Maybe some sort of self-imposed exile is in order... Can't punish me if I punish myself first!

^ I actually put the spoilers so everyone'd know which stuff to skip if they aren't interested, so they could just keep the reading of my comment as short as possible.

[...] Violence is the result of traumatic childhood, poverty, mental disorders, etc. [...]

We definitely should be asking why the powers that be ignore poverty and mental health.

Better question would be why the voters ignore them, in the context of societies where - as one cynic put it - "the people get exactly the leaders they deserve" by way of the ballot box...

I apologize for changing topics a bit, but, as shown in - not one - not two - but three memes in my most recent meme video, I question whether representative democracy is a legitimate democracy. As a LibSoc, with very scant few ideological differences from an anarchist, I'm in favour of some kind of direct or semi-direct democracy, with the power structure being bottom-up, rather than top-down (like it is in representative democracies, as well as dictatorships). It's such hierarchical top-down systems that cause oppression, division and group hate (however you want to define that last bit).
But I digress.

EDIT:
Before you ask:
In that video, it's memes 1, 2 and 8.

^ I didn't watch it, but I did watch an AlternateHistoryHub video on it and a Vogel im Kafig lyrics video. How do I even know of Vogel im Kafig if I haven't watched Attack on Titan? Why, Daniel Mapper used it several years ago (back when he was either the only mapper or one of the very few mappers I watched, and long before I discovered the yuri genre, let alone the Dynasty Reader site) in his (now, unfortunately, deleted) AFOE Season 2. But, luckily, several other mappers have used it since (him too, of course, but... he deleted and re-established his channel several times over the course of these past few years, so...). Hanybal, for example, used it expertly in this scene of this video

NTR is the Lesbian Manga Bible.

Many people, myself included, wholeheartedly disagree with that.

^^ Oh, damn. Now I really wanna see both their moms be wingmoms AND dating each other. Damn you, Mayjaplaya!

Mmm... So we've got a wingmom on our hands, huh? grins
