I think it might also relate to how she's telling Vi to wear her uniform properly, and adjusting her tie, while wearing nothing under her own jacket.

So, is she going to warn them about WWII, The Cold War, and so on, or...?

to be fair, what is she realistically going to do about it

I doubt an average person, like she presumably is, knows anything that can prove her identity and foreknowledge.

A school ID card, with its unusual make, might help and a cellphone definitely would.

Imo Aya already “knows” what’s going on. When she finally realizes Mitsuki’s true identity she’ll be like “well on some level I figured it out.” Or “I can’t deny the signs were there all along” or whatever

That's one of the things that's been kind-of bugging me about this page, in the context of the following chapters. She's having a meltdown over the smell of Mitsuki's jacket which A) probably isn't all that boy-ish and B) probably isn't all that different from how she smells during class. That feels like something she'd notice sooner, rather than later, especially if Mitsuki keeps doing things like accidentally kabedoning her or whatever you want to call the way she gave back that earbud in the fourth chapter.

Aya: Hey, you know, you smell a lot like the boy I like.
Mitsuki: Uh ...
A: You also sound a bit like him, and you have pretty similar eyes.
M: Well, about —
A: And now that I'm looking closer, you have holes for piercings in the same place as his piercings.
M: ...
A: I'm beginning to think it's not a boy that I like.

Huh. If she was at school, I wonder if she has a cellphone on her. That would be a real quick way to prove she's from the future and a pretty useful tool in the past.

The comic is titled Alter ego

Is that a physical comic or a web comic? Also, do you have a link?

That said, why do people think this guy has a chance to begin with? The continued promotion of the "jerk" being a legit romantic option is really sad.

Does anyone think he has a chance? Most of the discussion seems to suggest the opposite.

I've never heard the term "associated sibling" before, but when used in that fashion ... yeah. Not a good look, Rinne.

Is Wednesday the least pale person in that picture?

What is a T-RPG

Tabletop Role Playing Game, like Dungeons and Dragons or Thirsty Sword Lesbians, though it's normally abbreviated to TTRPG.

Does anyone happen to know which RPG is being referred to in the afterword?

The lesbian part is more likely referring to the campaign than the system.

The credits page explained it was referring to a campaign played by the vTuber Sukoya Kana: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSKBMRRQ-xc

Unfortunately, it's in japanese.

She told Mei that she wanted to go further. When Mei said stop she immediately stopped. There’s no rule that says you HAVE to wait until the 3rd date before you can have sex.

Except she didn't stop. She immediately switched to trying to pressure Mei into a relationship, so she could continue, and when Mei took too long to answer she forced her down.

Karin is definitely best girl. She knows what she wants and goes for it. They're in college, she asks her on a date, she asks her out. That champagne kiss was great too.

She might know what she wants, but she doesn't seem to understand the concept of "not on the first date," which is a problem.

And y'know... that final giant "HUH?" is totally me while reading that page. What the fudge was Riri doing there??? Does she live at Karin's place? Or did she have a rendezvous with her?

The "Hm... Here it is... Karin Senpai's..." makes it pretty unlikely she lives there. It makes me think she hasn't even been there before, but that makes her having the key even weirder.

On a similar note, remember that it's normal for your weight to vary from day to day (or even within a day), so it's important to look at trends in your weight, not just the raw number.

I was the one side in that argument stating that she said, in her interview, that she didn't consider the story she's currently writing as yuri (ie, romance between girls), but as "female close relationship" or something. Ie, Gal Pals. Or subtext.

Afk was arguing that she implied "so far", I was arguing that she's talking about the whole story in general.

Not yuri then. Friendly affection between girls. The warmth of having a gal pal who is really close to you, like a soulmate, and really understands you.

This chapter really drives the point home.

This reminds me of an episode of People Watching. The entire thing is about how popular culture heavily devalues friendships and tries to center everything on sexual relationships despite that being "Fucking lame."

Well, Melua certainly had an interesting reaction to Utaho questioning the nature of their amnesia. I wonder if she remembers more than she lets on. That last few pages certainly seem to hint at some differences in how they were discovered.

This looks like a bot, maybe? There only post is certainly weird and out of context.

Not sure why people have settled on the idea that she is a free-spirited artistic type. The focus on nudity and alabaster suggest to me that the mangaka is going for something a bit more classical here.

She's coded as free spirited, if you don't know much about art. There's the two-tone hair, the slightly unkempt appearance and room, playing hooky from her club, and tempting the MC with ... unconventional methods. In other contexts, the casual nudity would also, probably, count.

Yeah, I'm not too sure about that. Street art is a form of freedom for art. The city, or even the world is your canvas.

Here, she seems free spirited, but she's still a teacher and just goads the MC into doing boring stuff (draw on canvas, draw the human body).

So, while the fact that she's naked is supposed to show that she's wild, in the end, it's still all about getting in line and do what society expects of you.

Exactly, nothing more irritating than to read something that obviously want to be "unconventional" while doing it in the most conventional way. Seriously, there was a good base concept with the delinquent student and "alternative" teacher (sadly, she really isn't) but the execution is just not there.

Maybe I'm wrong and the teacher will learn along the student among other thing and overall get better, but considering the start and the track record with these, I'm not holding my breath.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who was bothered by that. I love the character designs, but an art teacher whose take on graffiti is "You should do it on a canvas and, while you're at it, switch over to doing classic nudes" is a choice.

Honestly, the teacher came off as really creepy with how she pressed him on doing the nudes and I'm glad he called her on the sexual harassment, even if that line was immediately dropped.

On an unrelated note, there's a blank speech bubble in the second to last panel of page 35, chapter 1. Was that supposed to say something?

This is a large-type Huge and over here there are mid and small type Huge. ...

Who came up with that naming scheme‽

Huh. I think this is the first chapter where one of them hasn't mentioned the villainess's ability to go at it for 3 days and 3 nights. They were surprisingly consistent with that particular line.

Huh. She seems to have already lost her halo in this one.

Damn you intsys. Let me be gay with manuela…

Well, there's always 3 Hopes. Speaking of, the demo for that is out now and it's quite good.

A casual hand on the boob there.

It definitely looks that way, but I'm pretty sure she's gripping the edge of the shirt, so she can pull against the thread in her mouth, meaning her hand is actually facing away from the boob.

Of course, I'm not sure how much it matters after she's practically shoved her face into that cleavage.

The way I see it, Evie's problem is that she still views Elsa as a fragile flower and does not trust in Elsa's ability to handle whatever the villainess system throws at them. This is not Evie's fault because she was traumatized by the last time she rebelled against it and has an overwhelming fear of its wrath. Still, we've been shown time and time again that Elsa is a powerhouse and that, unless she is caught at a very vulnerable moment like at the very start of the series, nothing Evie does to her can actually stick.

Uh ... We have definitely not been shown that. Elsa is a powerful mage, and she'd beat Evie is a straight up contest of magic, but she's still human. She has weaknesses and, more importantly, she's no more durable than everyone else.

Feelings are complicated.

Pretty sure that if she shared what was happening to her with Evie that Evie's magic is powerful enough to tamper with the system.

There's no indication that her magic could even touch the system, let alone be strong enough to interfere with it. While it's certainly possible she could do something, I'd expect it to result from her status as heroine, not raw magic power, and that doesn't seem to be working out for her so far.

... it's one of these stories, with this mixed, somewhat uncomfortable vibe, not sure how to explain it. Gotta have variety I guess.

If you take it seriously, the blonde found a suicidal girl, took her home, and then plied her with drink after drink in an attempt to have sex with her. I think the part where it became really uncomfortable, for me, was when she kept asking "Are you drunk" and then offering another drink when the answer was "no."
