It's a date, then.

Cute.

That said, anybody who hasn't picked up on all the foreshadowing that Aki's temporarily embarrassed wolf royalty is reading a different manga than the one I've been reading.

If they need it spelled out, look to ch.23 p.17 top panel.

Yeah, that's a total normie family living in a total normie house.

Easy to forget in the time between chapters, but yeah, having just re-read this, it's one of the two moments I pointed out on the previous page that may indeed point in that direction, the other being the queen's reaction to her last name.

Wouldn't call it "all the foreshadowing", but there certainly are clues that support this reading.

Friends!

Neither is entirely right or wrong in their assumptions, but at least they've made it to a point where they both know a confession has to come sooner or later. :D

You both might be right about the authors intention, but it still reads to me like it was born out of the old school yuri tropes.

• Any gay love must end in tragedy
• They should learn to be content with just watching from afar instead of demanding equality.
• Gay romance is just a youthful phase that people rightfully grow out of and enter into 'real' relationships.

We'll see how Aki and Momo's relationship goes from here, but the way the Queen's first love was framed in this flashback is still pretty off-putting to me.

I mean, you may not be wrong about the old school yuri tropes. But that was then, and Momo's time is now, and now it's time for better yuri.

edit: You know, having just finished reading the entire series so far again...

Will Aki be revealed as a long lost/runaway Wolfa princess?

That may actually be true. See the queen's reaction to her last name here and Aki's memory of her sister here.

[...] while her ex is still there as a hanger-on

I mean, I really wouldn't call her that, especially seeing how she has a daughter of her own.

Weirdly enough, I don't remember seeing this kind of outrage when we got pretty much the same reveal in Adachi and Shimamura, despite that one taking place in modern Japan instead of a fictional monarchy, although I guess it helps that in that case it affected the mother of one half of the side couple and not the main couple.

Well, scratch Bofuri off that list because episode 3 was much better paced and had a bit of some wonderful Mii x Maple and Sally x Maple stuff as well. Sadly they seem to have changed the Tower event into more of a boss rush even though the exploration parts were some of the best

If you go past the weird CGI in the library fight.

Yeah, that honestly made episode 3 even more disappointing than the pace of this season so far, especially remembering the beautiful animation of the first season's fights.

How the history repeats itself. :D

I have no doubt Momo won't let the same happen to her, though. She's become far too confident and strong to let anything come between her and Aki now.

Nice to see Natsuko's side of their mixer now as well. ^_^

Have fun, girls! ^_^

Mashiro wonders if her nails are trimmed properly [...]

Comment of the day. :D

Time for another spanking.

The things you notice when re-reading a series. Like Miko being a fox foreshadowed in chapter 6. :D Always love it when an author manages to work in details like this that at first just seem like your usual clever bits to illustrate the situation, but in hindsight are the actual truth of the matter.

Effects of mermaid blood. And looks like Shiori really has no plans whatsoever to eat her, considering that comment about the taste of a monster's own blood.

Cute.

Nice.

Good girl.

Adorable.

Seems the only logical thing to do, yes.

Excellent. :D

Lovely.

Very nice.

Explosion in 3... 2... 1...

Nice.
