Uncle doing accidental kabedon on jerkface.

"Two, two, idiot couples..."

Cliche would be if jerkface becomes a pilot of a transforming fighter plane while Mitsuki's music is militarized in some new way not yet used by existing Macross shows and there's a love triangle.

Pretty sure the translation said she bought the apartment, which would take up a good chunk.

The thing about all Japanese people studying English in school is that the whole population is potentially an audience for bilingual puns.

Now I'm waiting for the alien invasion on Miss Sunflower.

Wowie that's some great parenting, re-marrying and then just fucking off lmao

Citrus: the father runs off right after marriage.

This: both parents run off right after marriage.

Mwah.

That's the same as "Chapter 38" here. Apart from translator differences.

Wow, those translations differ hugely in who they attribute "drinking" and "tired" to in the first few pages.

"I've always complained about being rejected for jobs" wtf is this some terrible machine translation?

Daily pay could be manipulation but it also makes it more plausible and attractive even without loss aversion. "Be my bitch for 100 days and I'll give you $10,000 at the end" leaves one doubting if you'll get paid. Conversely, there's no way to enforce Marika giving any money back.

Aya should just get with the dude since he actually cares about her.

Sir, this is a yuri.

Interesting twist on making it not completely unethical. "Awaken feelings" rather than "make them love you".

Though "unique potion, pawned, yours for only 10 silver" is very sus.

I would suspect it of being pure placebo snake oil, but then there's Evie...

Brother reassuring part-timer that he wasn't a rival.

Prequel doujin to YKK

she just need some economics classes

Well, personal finance, or maybe "home economics" classes. Actual academic economics would be useless for this.

I've seen Harry Potter Marriage Law fanfiction tropes die out because of ethics, expect trope-inversion, no-comfort, and darker stuff of course. Similar with Soulmate fanfiction. So shall reader desire for this. To speak frankly, this sub-culture and genre has a long way to go. Maybe 50 years.

Lol, expecting fictional indulgence of dark kinks to "die out because of ethics".

If the Marriage Law "died out" I suspect it was just a passing fad, or a victim of JKR's undermining of her own fandom.

Though as far as HP and love potions go, a rather sweet Harry/Luna fic did throw in an somewhat ethical use as background detail: granting that pureblood families did a bunch of arranged marriages for whatever reason, love potions could be used consensually to make the marriage stronger. "We want this marriage to work for alliance/economic reasons, and it will work better if we're in love, bottoms up!"

Is it possible the author could throw 50 chapters of fluffy romance into the garbage?

Usagi Drop has entered the chat

Four wingwomen!

But man, I didn't know the reason why Taiyaki likes mother x daughter yuri. If that woman was that reason Taiyaki created her works, man I can't imagine how I would feel if the inspiration of my works says that to me.

What?

Reminder of the original context: https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/i_wont_sleep_with_you_for_free_ch01#5

Annual tuition $8350 (!), monthly rent $160 (!) after split with her sister, daily lunch $2.

Monthly expenses $895, assuming 5x/week lectures, and ignoring utilities or non-lunch meals.

Maybe $1135 with those.

(I'm using the average of 100 yen to the dollar, not the current 140 exchange rate.)

OTOH she is kind of neurotic, worrying about being frugal about using the college's water: https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/i_wont_sleep_with_you_for_free_ch01#6

(Japan is not a water-scarce country.)

So at $300 per 'date', one client a week would just cover her existing expenses.

But do we really wish on Nanao a girlfriend who will cheat on her with all the whores in Tokyo?

Why do you think Asumi is doing that? Because she's too horny? Or because she wants to meet mai once again? You're writing like Asumi will continue doing that even after getting a girlfriend either mai or Nanao

Poly harem brothel ending FTW.

It looks like Ikeya comes with severed thumbs.

...I guess supposed to be packing peanuts, in addition to the styrofoam frames?

I repeat:

Everyone is interested in lesbian brothels!

Didn't something else have the "oh no I lost it" in just the past two weeks?

I enjoy how, along with her fingers being bandaged, she's visibly tired implying she's going super hard on practicing her new guitar.

Enjoying its curves and practicing her fingering.

I think Asumi-chan makes more sense, too. I mean, it's a pretty low-probability plot, but it has an internal logic that someone somewhere might actually engage in.

Younger Senpai and this one are, I feel, more outside the envelope of sensible behavior. Like, even taking a premise of super-horny girls, they don't really 'work'. Asumi is "I can believe these people would do this" while the other works are "yeah, this is a porn plot, roll with it".

I'm not complaining, but it does push them out of the running for Great Work, IMO.

(Possibly Asumi-chan is just fooling me -- but even being able to pull that off is an artistic merit.)
