It's one of those works that I guess is pleasant enough, but so over the top cutesy that it starts to feel "fake" really quickly, like I'm watching some artificially constructed world that is designed to be as adorable for the viewers as possible, and it's not even very subtle about it. Sad moments don't really feel very sad when it's clear for a while that the author already lined up the replacement.
... I guess that feels like an overly scathing critique of something I mostly enjoyed and read all chapters, huh

I addition to what everyone else said, I could totally see that the sister is trying help Matoi in her own stupid way, I feel like that would be somewhat in character based on her previous appearances :P

And also I agree this is pretty jarring compared to the overall pace so far, it's like someone realized that the volume is ending and there is still plot to advance

The fuck are the police doing knocking like that god fuck off

I think that was the stalker knocking like that and the police were nearby and grabbed him.

Rereading it now, it looks like that's what it might be

I literally cannot fathom the logic behind a reading that assumes it to be anything else. Like I know the Japanese police have their share of issues but come on...

Manga logic of plot twists, plus it's somewhat possible to not notice the handcuffed guy on the last panel :P

Something about the page order went wrong, 385 is the same as 389

I don't mind this sex arc, but I'm not gonna lie, it's not terribly interesting either, especially now with this corny porn dialogue :P At this point I'm kinda waiting (im)patiently to go back to regular programming.

did we all imagine it I can't tell

I'll have 123 done by the end of the week, scout's honor.

I sometimes used that phrase too, but never mentioned that I was never a scout

Not sure there is anything to explain, this just seems largely like a not a very interesting story.
They have the sister system, a girl didn't get to become her childhood's friend "sister" as she hoped, but they're still pretty close otherwise so that's nice, the end.

If Naori tried to splash the ogre on purpose, that would technically be considered as offering it and it wouldn't do jack. Most she could do is build a vodka fort for protection or something.

best iteration of home alone ever

ah I imagine this is the mom or someone closely related here to break up the couple, wonder how exactly Naori will win her over... prolly with some good alcohol of course but still I'd be happy to see it happen

To hell with "winning her over", Naori is in a room full of alcohol, time to splash it all over that ogre's face :P She has clear advantage in this situation.

A older girl (25-30+) is unemployed and rejected being a cashier as she has a degree in engineering or science related and wears tracksuit all day. Another Highschool girl likes her and frequently visits her house and make food for her and clean her room. Once when they're in a date(not in relationship, Highschool girl forced her to get out of her house), the highschool girl's friends chance upon them and they end up chatting with her and the older girl paid for their food and left as she felt that she shouldn't interrupt them

(found this while looking for the one about the reunion I still can't find :P)

Tried to find this one and failed - it was a oneshot involving a school reunion, the main character was all sad about the girl she used to love but never confessed (or something to that effect), but during this some other girl approached her and confessed about having a crush on her in school. Then they actually went separate ways but the latter two girls met again by chance soon afterwards and it was implied they might start a relationship.
I feel like I went through the entirety of adult life tag and didn't find this but I must have missed it somehow...

so the reason why Claire feels like this is her fault is probably because she thinks that if she had treated Lene better then the siblings would never have become desperate enough to make the deal where they cause unrest on purpose so they can leave and go live somewhere on their own

It's not like they want to leave because Lene's fed up with being her maid, I think it's pretty clear there's another obvious problem that wouldn't be resolved even if Claire was the nicest person in the world to Lene. I get that people sometimes can't help but blame themselves for a chain of events they triggered that they couldn't possibly predict, but I don't even see the chain here.

EDIT: and Claire does know the siblings' motivation because the hooded guy clearly explains it after she stopped being unconscious (I guess the reaction would make some sense if she didn't hear any of that and all she knew is that they betrayed her for an unknown reason).

Also I'd wager the masked person made this deal rather than doing anything themselves because they were setting the siblings up for failure, they probably figured that whoever would cause the unrest would be found and arrested eventually so rather than doing it themselves or using any of their real agents (who they presumably have) they finds some kids who are in an incestuous relationship and manipulates them into taking a bad deal out of desperation

It really gives off the vibes of a needlessly complicated masterplan that mostly serves some story purpose but isn't actually practical, but eh I guess I can turn off my brain and overlook it.

Well this got really convoluted all of a sudden...
Ignoring the thing that grabbed everyone's attention, what is even Claire talking about at the end? I get being sad for not treating her maid better but how does it imply that them being arrested is her fault? :P
Also, why have some complicated plan of blackmailing this guy so he releases a monster, when the bad guy clearly can enter the academy like he owns the place, and can presumably release the monster by himself? (Although I get that there may be reasons for that that haven't been stated yet).

Edit: also I'm fucking blind, I only noticed on the second reread that Lene holds up the knife to Claire, I was wondering why was she even arrested at the end

This was nice but I don't get how the title makes sense, it made me think of a completely different plotline :P

So I reread this and I can't help but notice how that germophobe rumour makes no sense at all - It would make more sense for Wakamoto to come up with this explanation due to her staying at Satou's and witnessing her weird hospitality... but how the hell did the rest of the office come up with this rumour, did someone else at the company stay at her place before? It's such a weird element of the story that I don't think it was particularly well thought-out.

There might be something wrong with me (not that I didn't know this), but I'm still too nervous to actually read the last two chapters, even seeing the comments that all went alright :P

Wait but how does she make a living i want to know

She did say she works from home.

... which was an obvious lie, they discussed at the start of this how she can't find a job suiting her education.

I just found this one and I'm finding it really interesting - the author makes a good job making me question how genuine the blonde girl is. Is this even as good of an ending as it looks? :P

Why did the alcohol explode on her tho?

In previous chapters it was mentioned that alcohol is poison to them unless it was offered by humans, and accidental spill probably doesn't count

Any significance to the zodiac signs theme? In this chapter there was none unless I don't get something, they could be named anything and it doesn't matter :P

everyone is falling for the troll again

I thought it was called "Lilicious" for the longest time and have now only realized it's "Lililicious" (　☉д⊙)

Same, only realized when I tried to find it with the search function and the first form didn't return anything ::P

I found this on mangadex first so I couldn't possibly see the tags... and wow did the tone change surprise me (twice), it didn't look like it would go into this direction at all. Ended well enough though.

... but it made me wonder how much the tag system influences what I choose to read. I think I would probably skip that one but it was worth reading. Who knows.

I'm 12 and what is this
