all according to k... oh,shit

This is unacceptable. Fuck you and your cowardice to not even put it in English so you'd be caught instantly.

Are... are you ACTUALLY saying unironically that the reason non-English speakers use their own languages is ONLY to piss off English speakers? That cliché - the one that is usually reserved for when one whants to depict a laughably stupid jingoist hillbilly - you are using it FOR REAL?

Won't even TRY to explain you WHY you are an idiot - für mit der Dummheit kämpfen Götter selbst vergebens. Or as they say in México, "Señor, mándame pena y dolor, mándame males añejos, ¡pero lidiar con pendejos no me lo mandes, Señor!

Yukari: "Well. Fuck me sideways with no lube..."

This . Well. Fuck me sideways with no lube... needs to be a tag

I wonder who of those two will be muttering "all according to keikaku" afterwards. Likely both.

Cat Maid in Heat, page 2, last panel:
"Is that a trick question?"

we need a she can't be THAT dense tag here

I was all pumped up when the maid jumped in, but then she kinda just stood there? She showed guts insulting the prince to his face, but it was the king who did all the legwork on this one

And exactly how else this situation could have been solved favorably? The "lowly maid"'s only card was to bring the blatant falseness of the accusations to someone in power to take action about them; and about the only one person with such power over a bratty crown prince was the king itself. The king could or couldn't have done something about the issue without the maid's actions, but those actions basically forced his hand into taking such action. Better written than... basically about every single other thing of this particular story, which is otherwise not very good, sadly.

I miss the times /u/ scanlations would snipe /ak/ when the chapter was particularly yuri-worthy. I'm sad they don't do that anymore.

What is the fun about a protagonist that gets beat up all the time? I don't get it.

Rapid Rabbit might be beaten every time. She is not a boring invencible hero. But she keeps fighting nonetheless. Because she IS a heroine. She doesn't do it for "fun".
And that's one of the things that caused others more powerful "on paper" than her (like general Honey) to follow her cause. Wich is also a power on its own right.

I still really like this, but the author needs to learn to space the battles. One or two chapters of slice of life, characterization stuff between arcs would do wonders for the pacing

I see your point, but I disagree for THIS particular battle. The break of expected pacing, the sudden appeareance of a new foe RIGHT AWAY after what seemed to be a main victory, tells a history ("characterization stuff ") of its own.

Of course, I do agree that after THIS one battle it would be a good time for a lot of slice of life chapters

These are ALL maids- maid is a job.

Technically the first one seems to be some mix of lady's companion and female page analog while the second appears to be outright roleplaying (compare "Georgie" in Kobayashi-san), presumably being still primarily occupied with school...

And the thidr ones are clearly Itou Hachi fans hamming it up

Unlike chapters 1 and 2 victi- err, test subjects, she KNEW it was a love potion and what its efects were. So it's posible that it isn't really a plothole.

Also, this last chapter would deserve a NOT according to keikaku tag. Or rather, two such tags - one for each. Their loss-loss is OUR win-win.

Not enoug bait in that hook for me

And YET ANOTHER one which would justify the creation and usage of an all according to keikaku tag. I first said it as a joke, but now I realize it would actually be a good idea. Where is the best place to suggest and discuss such things?

That long-haired girl... as Nobel prize Camilo José Cela would say, "esa tía es gilipollas"

"yippie-whipee, thank you for the sippy" killed me

I will echo the sentiment that the ending that basically says "oh btw the reason I'm so cunning is because I played videogames in my previous life" feels extremely out of place, anthology or not.

You are not alone in that echoing. The "all according to keikaku" moment is sweet, but the "lol gamer" was cringeworthy

Yet another one thay would justify the creation of a just according to keikaku tag

We need a just according to keikaku tag here

next-to-last panel caption - "TL note: Keikaku means plan"

I'd say it HAS been resolved. As in, Anna and Reina actually love each other, and the relationships betwen Anna and Yui, or Reina and Yui, are just crushes. Likely mutually requited, but just crushes. So Anna and Reina get each other with Yui's blessings - and the option for threesomes in the fanfics. Best ending.

Eh, it's worth mentioning. As someone who has had a suicide in the family AND who, as an angsty teenager in high school, from time to time thought "I just want to die" or "I might as well be dead" (and who knew other people who said the same), I know there's an obvious difference between "suicidal ideation" on the one hand and self-dramatization on the other. I knew at the time that I just meant "I'm tired of thinking about my [absolutely bog-standard] teenage problems," or that said problems seemed like they would never end.

This. From experience.
As a teen and as a young adult, I had to deal with friends who actually tried suicide because (grossly simplyfying here for brevity) of a passing exogenous cause (read: acute but temporary depresive episode from external causes like a love deception) who simply needed to be wacked over the head in a friendly way so they get over it, and I had to deal with friends who actually tried suicide for a serious endogenous depression (read: the kind of chemical imbalance-caused depression that is a SEVERE mental health problem) who needed months of professional therapy and LOTS of help to prevent recurrent crisis and attempts. (I also had friends who got a serious endogenous depression as result of an exogenous cause and tried suicide just once, yet required LOTS of therapy and help afterwards). I even had to deal with pre-teens who were just morons and thought the idea of suicide was romantic, not truly thinking about the consequences - I kid you not. Those needed a stern telling-off - which would have triggered a crisis on the other ones. I still can't fucking believe I managed to get them all not to kill themselves, given that I was NOT trained at the time. Let's just say that the first-hand knowledge of just how hairy those situations could be got me to get actual training later in my life - and I'm FUCKING GRATEFUL that said training never needed to be put to use anymore.

TL:DR; the behaviours of suididal persons can run a VERY wide gamut.
What works with one person may actually trigger the suicide of another.
Leave this stuff for profesionals.

But the story was very sweet, and would have actually worked on SOME cases. Just not ALL.

BTW, actually voting for a don't try this at hometag.

Real wholesome stuff here

yep.

This brings memories for me (I had to deal with teenage suicide prevention waaaay to much for my own peace of mind back in the day - no details because not my blog). The method she used to stop her friend from havng suicide thoughts is maybe a tad extreme, but hey, if it works, it works.

Do we have a tag for good riddance of aaaaaangst? Because this needs one.

I have a question, is a love hotel..just a motel that you pay by the hour?

no, that's just a by-the-hour motel (which is usually more sordid). A "love hotel" is one which is explictitly marketed for sexual encounters (yet strives NOT to be sordid), and is built so you don't have to directly interact with personnel during check in/out (often you can enter with your car in a private garage that goes straight to the room). As mentioned, you can have hourly (usually 4 hours) or daily rates. And love hotels usually have a strict "no minors" rule; while if you are a tired traveller ina long roadtrip with your whole family who decides to crash for the night with your spouse and children at a road motel (which tend to double as by-the-hour motels) you usually won't have any trouble (as long as you bolt the door), actual love hotels won't let you (that said, in my country it become quite usual for travelling families with dogs to actually secretly lodge in "love hotels" to avoid having trouble with the dog, by just keeping kids and pets hidden in the car during check-in and check-out. I kid you not).

Or so I've heard.

that credits page ending goes straight to the Evil Overlord List

Still surprised how Love hotels let JK go in.

The process is mostly automated. Just buy a ticket at the vending machine, and voila! Instant access.

Maybe he's surprised at how there's no ID check of any kind. Even in MY country's love hotels (they exist outside of Japan, you know), you have to provide ID of the one paying and proof of age of any other person.

also

Damn it goes from 0 to 100 real quick

We need a well, this escalated quickly tag
