The biggest stretch for me is the displayed maturity of the grade schooler.

Ever been around a 10 years old? I've never seen one doing schlafzimmerblick at an adult.

I think it's pretty likely that it's a symptom of the viewpoint character presenting an unreliable narration and it's all actually innocent from any other perspective.

Holy fuck, that's some good ass payoff if you compare it to how things were at the start. I popped off a little.

Also, the parakeet signature is great.

For anyone wondering, that body is eminently possible and has become more likely in the last two decades-- early-onset puberty is becoming a major issue in pediatrics. I have a cousin who had similar proportions at 10 (It was awful for her because kids are shit; she got picked on and treated like she got held back).

My question is if all the innuendo is a case of unreliable narrator because our viewpoint is a college student who's letting her bean do the thinking.

I don't get it. Why bother making her ability disappear at all? What value does that add to the narrative? Considering it's the only really unique aspect of the story (which is printed in three colours just to support that aspect!), I don't see why the author would make overtures of removing it.

Because she doesn’t really need that kind of power,

Part of me is thinking "so what?" because characters have things they don't "need" all the time! But really...

in the first place the power was used as a catalyst for why she mistrusts love in the first place,

... she never needed it to begin with, because...

her being overtly aware of people’s feeling towards others and especially towards her put her in a bad position since she doesn’t know what do in those situations nor does she actually know if it’s even right at all.

...I really don't feel the arrows changed or enabled that any more than just being observant and talking to people like a normal human would have. Nearly this exact same story could have (and almost certainly has in the past) been written without the supernatural element. If we're being really, brutally honest with ourselves, arguably the most unique effect the arrows have had was allowing her to notice concealed shady idol stalkers...

And even if she did grow to up to use it properly, no one really needs that kind of power in their life because people shouldn’t need to rely on a crutch like that if they want to function as normal person, lest they become someone who is incapable of making decisions or pursuing relationships with people unless they find that reciprocation of their feelings are guaranteed.

The conflict you outline here sounds much interesting than dismantling the core conceit of the entire story up to this point to turn it back into an ordinary schoolgirl love triangle indistinguishable from the rest. That's the entire issue. That's why I don't understand what this change adds to the narrative.

From my perspective this is a significant downgrade in story potential.

I didn't expect Niina to be the sweetest, but that whole chapter was excellent.

Now that's the sort of audacity I expect from a mad engineer! I like this concept a lot.

As far as I can see, Aki and Mirino have the most healthy relationship in the series.

Let that one sink in for a bit...

Blessed soft Myon thighs.

Ahahaha, all the people thinking Kon's a ghost just got called out.

I was going to praise the funny switch-off double act these characters have going because it's kind of unusual but, as is amusingly usual on Dynasty, there's a king-sized shitstorm derail for no reason. (Yes, it's ungrammatical. No, it's not worth having a debate about. Hasn't this thread suffered enough?)

People sleep on Nodoka harder than they sleep on Mugi and Ui. It's a cryin' shame, I tells ya...

This series really goes all in on the ero-kawaii sorta vibe so I wasn't expecting sudden plot development. Nor for it to be kinda wholesome in general. Thanks for working on it, Goggled and friends!

Kinda crazy how easy it was to jump right back into this after all this time.

At last, we get some development of Melissa.

RubyMari is one of those weird rare pairs that I just can't let go of. It's real! Real, you hear me! And sweet, especially when Ruby comes out of her shell a bit and bamboozles Mari.

Their lack of ability to use words feels...excessive. I know finding the words can be hard, especially when nervous but just saying, "I told your secret because I selfishly wanted you to myself", would at least be honest.

This, right fucking here. Fuuko is self-aware enough to know she's oozing jelly from every orifice and she's known Yukiko long enough to have picked up that she's a complete airhead.

useless

I mean... it's in the title... XD

Well, that happened. Big shoutout to Miki, the carbon-neutral antagonist (and also a magician, considering she apparently just yote herself out of existence between panels).

I never expected it to handle the subject especially well, but this was... too clean and too easy.

My fav part of 10.2 was actually the bottom right of page 7 where she was petting the arrow.

Sayo is ridiculously considerate, planning to buy another ticket so all three of them can go to the amusement park together instead of getting some solo time from Mei. And despite that, she's way down on herself, it's sad.

I love Rinna's hair and how Sayo helps style it; it's super cute.

Smooth like glass, hot damn.

Well, teens gonna teen. If you've been paying attention and can resist the urge to scoff from a detached pulpit, this all tracks perfectly as the sort of thing you go through as a teen. It's a part of growing up.

Though the sudden appearance of Miki is an interesting bit I can't believe I didn't see coming.

I don't get why she thinks your lover isn't also your best friend. Are her parents an arranged marriage or something?
