Very adorable!

I was surprised and happy to see this from the official AK twitter this morning. They're a cute ship.

"Official", Nice.

Hawk and Orca are a cute pair!

I'm down with this, and I'd honestly love to see more if Rin x Ishtar heh

Nothing like some sisterly bonding on Valentines.

Very cute!

Who gave the cat chocolate to feed the dog? This probably won't end well haha

It's always good to see them being cute and happy together.

A very understandable distraction.

Muscles, size difference, and tongue. Great stuff.

Lava about to be eaten by a dragon I see

Adorable

I love the leglock here

Blem is just checking to see if her aunt's breasts also need bandaging (and maybe some kisses) :P

@Sufficient Agony I can't really disagree, I was just trying to not generalize too much is all haha

I can't get over the feeling that this is just a scummy overpriveleged adult exploiting a desperate and naive teenager, even if unintentionally. Like, she was real quick to to accept not really paying her, and then just as quick to list off all the things this underage underpaid girl is responsible for while she fritters her time away on distractions. Anyway it keeps me from enjoying any relationship between the two and gives the whole "I love teasing this cute girl ;)" thing a gross vibe.

This is a blatant misreading of the facts of the story. Granted, sensei certainly does like teasing Ayu and if you find that in itself to be intolerable behavior, this clearly isn’t the story for you.

But she absolutely did not “accept not really paying her”—that was obviously teasing. Ayu gets room and board for cooking, doing laundry, and light cleaning (the robot does the daily dusting, and two of the rooms rarely need to be cleaned at all)—all things she was doing anyway for her dysfunctional original family—along with an as-yet unstated monetary allowance, and sensei specifically says she’s “not allowed to hold back” when it comes to money.

Sensei also does not merely “fritter away her time on distractions”—in the latest chapter she takes a nap after shopping because she was up all night working.

This is explicitly a story about two lonely people learning about each other, and we have yet to see two full days of that process. If you find it to be a “gross vibe,” that’s your taste and you’re entitled to it, but the story clearly presents Ayu as being well-compensated for light duties, and not at all as a person whose economic desperation is being unfairly exploited.

Just gonna slide in here to also note that she bought the girl a $260 dollar toothbrush lmao

^Definitely agreed. Ships can be fun, but ship culture often very quickly gets hostile and sets fandoms on fire unfortunately.

^Kiara wanted to force the "Takamori" dynamic less, and have her following not go so hard with it. So she could have a more natural relationship with Calli, and chat/social media/so fourth would stop doing things like scream "NTR" every time Kiara flirts with another girl. That's about the gist I recall, though it's been a long time since then. I do know when it happened Kiara said it's still fine for people to draw Takamori fanart.

So yeah, we still get ship art of them, Kiara flirts with a lot of people, and her interactions with Calli have been more natural.

I never knew of this outfit before now, but it's definitely cute.

Personally I like Yuuki being the background comic relief for the most part, and instead Karyl, Pecorine, and Kokoro are essentially the "protaganist". All three of them are great in my opinion, while Yuuki is harmless fun. I really love the series haha

Very gorgeous!

I could definitely see this happening with these two.

Nice to see more of these two now that we have Eyja's outfit released for Global.

Jessie and Yuri ships just feels right to me personally.
