Dynasty commenters really live in their own little world sometimes, haha. Is the story as presented in front of you not good enough?
Hinoka clearly doesn't think they're dating. She wants to, but she's a super coward and probably has been for years. She is super into all of the new attention she's getting though,

Thanks to everyone who commented with "plushie"
Stuffie sounds ... a bit too much like stiffie to me. Maybe it's the Aussie in me. You just can't do that with that word

Oh man, her attempts at being the wing...woman have gone up in flames. Julie doesn't need someone else in the middle, it sure is confusing her.

Baha, these comments sections are the greatest entertainment.
Let's go through the complaints:
- Too much ecchi
- MC shouldn't treat her past self as a different person
- MC shouldn't be the character she was introduced as in the first episode.

The new thoughtful comments about the MC's personality would be fine, if we didn't get the first chapter we got. Where did you get the sense, in the pining woman who went to go masturbate in a children's park, that she was in any way a confident person, rather than desperate.
Everyone seems to have built up their own idea of where the story "should" go, instead of seeing what the mangaka has clearly laid out in front of us all. Either you assume that we have some information on the time travelling situation that the MC doesn't have, or you want the character to be someone other than who she is.

Your stories are intriguing, and thoughtful, for sure, and would probably be nice to read, but you really need to stop projecting.

I'd be more uncomfortable with the molesting if Saki-senpai ever made any effort to avoid it.
She meets a woman who saves her, but immediately kisses her as a "reward"
She follows that woman into a bathroom alone
She invites that woman out to the movies
She tells that woman about her acting failure and accepts her help.
She invites that woman ... to her school and wants to introduce her to the rest of her club members.
MC isn't forcing her senpai into any of these situations, so it's not exactly grooming. There's something about MC that senpai just ...wants.

It doesn't make any sense to have a human torso sticking out of an oversized snake tail either.

Just as it doesn't make sense for a duck bill, a beaver tail and otter feet to be sticking out of a mole-like body, right?

People (Americans usually) who say a Platypus is some kind of chimera are super weird to me (an Australian who knows the platypus and thinks they are just natural).
An animal being unique does not make it not "make sense"

.... A mamal that lays eggs makes no sense either...... but platypus

And echidna. And some others that have gone extinct.

Ditto to the idea of echidnas or any other monotremes being somehow unnatural.
No one said that a mammal that lays eggs cannot exist according to nature. They're just super rare.

Edit: whoops. I should say something on topic
Niina is sweet in a weird forceful way, and the way Sakura just called her an idiot and then slept beside her... They should totally be a couple.

And having binged the entire 12(.5) chapters (lucky me, I didn't have to wait), I can't really see how Sakura is not some kind of actual succubus, with her waaaay unnatural sensitivity and proclivity to accidentally getting into compromising situations.
I don't agree that she's unconsciously attracting them, though, because they've all mentioned they just dare to go farther with her because they think she's a succubus and that's a totally normal and cool thing to do with a succubus.

Getting called out by the B.

God this MC is just so strange. She just keeps acting like her younger self is a compelety different person and keeps getting jealous of them. It's just so weird that she barely acknoweldges they exist and doesn't even think of them. I thought maybe she might befrend her since it seemed like she had a pretty lonely time in high school but no, she doesn't care about her younger self. This MC is just so one dimensional, all she think's about just senpai.

^this, and the extent of it is starting to piss me off.

You are all just so ... so ... I can't even think of a word, because I'm not trying to be mean or anything, just questioning your logic skills.

Her younger self is a different person. She can't feel what her younger self is feeling, they don't share senses. The only thing MC has is memories, and incidental little things she probably can't even remember playing out right in front of her is so clearly not something she feels in the now. I don't really understand how you all can not understand how she'd treat her younger self as a different person. You're approaching this story completely differently to what has been set out before you.

The MC has not ended up in the past due to a magic spell that has a definitive ending, she doesn't have a time machine. As far as she is aware, this is now how she will forever live. How would helping her younger self help her? Her senpai will either continue as she had in MC's memories, and go off and marry someone else, or she will get her younger self and senpai together, and she will simply have the future all alone again. You need to start thinking of them as two different people, as there is absolutely no evidence that doing anything for her younger self will improve her life at all. And if her younger self grows into her present self, goes back in time and does exactly what she is doing now, all the better.

She was going so well, and then turned pervert again. I kind of love how angry commenters get about her, wanting her to be a good person when she's clearly just terrible with a side of thoughtful.

And at least right at the end there, she had some sense of reality in her.

Edit: bahahahahaha. Read the comments after writing my own, and commenters still complaining about the MC. Like ... that's a poor awareness of how people work, even less of how characters work. She needs to actually learn something before she changes (as in this chapter, where she learned about the concept of "withdrawal of consent"). She's not going to magically be a better person just on merit of you guys wanting that story so badly.

Hah, emotional relationship with one girl, sexual relationship with another.
Then you find out they're both the same person!

Noa's a bit unfair, actually. If she wants to spend more time with Amano, she shouldn't be asking her to pay for it. Take a step forward and get out of this business relationship if that's what you want.

That was not a good wingman move.
Unless she sensed that the declaration was going to be ignored instead of followed up, and she wanted to make sure it was acknowledged as the truth?
We'lll find out after the break, I guess.

Now that I think, one thing I don't quite understand is how do anime characters not taste the difference between their smooth tea and bitter, hard taste of alcohol, that shit is NOT subtle even in mixed drinks, especially for people who never drink. Even if you're a lightweight, after the 1st sip you'd be like bruh. Not drink more until you pass out lol

FYI, there are alcohols that are specifically meant to be mixed with things like oolong tea, and some that you wouldn't notice right away (noting that Noa mentioned she gets drunk from the first sip) and the rest is suspension of disbelief.

Ah, making a sweet teacher cry is a big turn-off for me for a character.
Let's see her build herself back up from that low point.

Hah! Busted being sexually aggressive with a minor by yourself!

That friend. Lol. I would have just slapped it and walked off so she'd get sticky ice goop all over her legs and think about what she'd just done.

it's still miles and miles better than shit like Rising of the Shield Hero with it's false rape accusation BS, "slave child turned slave bride" with the author bending themselves over to keep justify keeping the character a slave and whatnot

"i occult the goods points and only point the bad so i can call it bad" iswear that everytime i heard someone talking about Shield Hero, they seem to have only read the first couple of chapters and drop it.

FYI, I've read a lot of Shield Hero, and will probably be continuing (he's already established his own town for quite some time and just had a bit of a dragon adventure), and Shield Hero really is a poorly told story with terribly-executed world-building.
That doesn't make it impossible to read, but it's actually not very good. Really great premise, and some story elements that really are amazing, but it's actually pretty bad.

This is all an over-the-top joke, but oof, that stuff hits hard.
It might be on a much smaller scale in the real world, but this sort of thing does happen - and even more in video game worlds.

Woah, that's some deep, dark stuff.

Urgh, I deeply resonate with Mio's feelings. I'm the kind of person who has a lot of friends, yeah. But it really, really hurts when you know that those friends won't share more than surface feelings with you.

This chapter is a good reminder that Shino has no one but Nozomi. Nozomi definitely took the death harder because she married the guy, and they were going to have a life together, but Shino lost everything but her sister-in-law.
