the part about biting Kaori because her blood must be tasty

Aaahhh yes, that part. I had forgotten aha

I certainly hope we're not in the last arc of the series, but it does feel like we're near the end of the story.

I know there's a lot that needs to be resolved, I just hope that, along with the completion of the play, that not everything is rushed through as well. That, the play won't be the climax of the plot. Perhaps this arc is pre-play, we don't know, I think that it's hard to have real expectations for this series, I'm just bewildered by everything that happens, it's all sort of... new? The setting is pretty unusual, I find the characters, the pacing, unpredictable, I don't know what to expect, what could happen, because it could really go anywhere, can't it?
So, there's the play, Touko's issues, Yuu's feelings, how Touko and Yuu's relationship would evolved after Touko becomes aware of those feelings (if she doesn't accept them/there's conflict, Yuu is gonna have to face that too), Sayaka's love life, Maki's role.
I included Maki too cus like, well, he was probably meant to do more, I don't think his part in the story is limited to just their conversation at ch16(?). His advantage is pretty much that he's the only one aware that whatver ambiguous relationship between Yuu and Touko is going on, so he could actually be someone that Yuu can confide in (+he's in a neutral position). Yuu's pretty deep into all of this, her perception of Nanami and herself, what's going on, is becoming pretty biased and inaccurate. I think that the chapter where she incorrectly assume how Nanami felt (chapter 10? about Nanami's motivations) was a good indicator of that, that what she thinks she knows isn't always accurate, that she overestimates herself.

This love that won't reach

Looks definitely interesting, even though angst isn't everyone's cup of tea... (isn't it, Nevri? ;)

I have no idea where the story could possibly go, aside from the current mc angst.
There's like, nothing she can do about her current situation. She either gets rejected and finds someone else, or after whatever plot and character development, the sister in law reciprocates, which would really awkward for everyone tbh, given she'd essentially have to break one sibling's heart for the other. And for now, the brother, although he is forgetful, doesn't seem like a bad guy. If he turned out to be a bastard, it'd make the yuri plot easier but meh, Idk, I'm not counting on it tbh. And if mc just finds someone else, it'd make the whole initial angst and setup sort of useless, no?

Kumiko's looks at Reina like girl you were gay with me 2 seconds ago and now you want taki-sensie's Dick. WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT.

I know what you mean but
...
Bisexuality?
When you see a someone really into a girl and then a guy, this "shit" is called "they're PROBABLY bisexual"?
Not that we can legit say that Reina treats Kumiko like a love interest TTvTT gdi kyoani

On episode 9: Asuka x Kaori is sailing. :')

Really? What scene/bit are you talking about?
Plus, didn't Asuka make... a really scary face? Which from what I understood, was Asuka being tilted

oh my god

A tomboy is the kind of kid who runs around, climbs trees, gets dirty and covered with leaves, rides bicycles no hands and stuff. So in that sense even if Nadeshiko has masculine qualities, she's not "tomboyish".

Tsukasa is a tomboy and Nadeshiko is a prince xD

I really need more series with reverse GB I say reverse as in the "reverse" harem there are too few series (worth watching/reading) with a tomboy/prince-like girl :c and too many brainless/hentai/ecchi series with guys turning into hot oppai girls that the first thing they do is touch themselves xD

Well . . . let's face it. For most teenage boys, if they turned into a girl what's the first thing they'd do?

Be consumed by visceral horror and discomfort at finding themselves in a completely alien body that is totally divorced from their self image? You know, what trans people generally do.

Tbh, if we're just thinking of it as a comical manga development with the eventuality of turning back into your own body soon, nothing to worry about really. But for real yeah, if I woke up one morning to a different body I'd probably be scared, very scared, shocked, confused. Which is probably different from what trans ppl generally "do", as it's not as supernatural and sudden like an overnight development, but I get what you meant.

Because unlike most lolicons where it is usually middle schooler with adult/teacher, it is a middle/high schooler with elementary schooler. While the age gap isn't that big, the age of younger one is seriously young which throws people out of the loop.

I think it's interesting that, even though the protagonist is a high schooler (very common), the love interest however, is a grade schooler (DUN DUN DUN). I don't remember having seen this sort of age gap before. Seems new that the issue itself is addressed between Mimika and Shi-chan, and that's Mimika's currently pretty aware of how it is, and how it can't be.

Yes, and i believe we recall that the ending and title of the play is still undecided. So it means either the ending will be the same with the way Touko choose to live her life or she makes the ending as her reference.
I think the ending of the play arc will be the closure for the issue Touko shoulder all this time.
...the most possible ending of the play is that the main character actually doesn't choose from the 3 option and instead making a new option that only belongs to her. Maybe.

If the title of the play is Yagate Kimi ni Naru, it will seriously angst me, it gives me the feeling that the series is coming to an end soon. I hope this arc (is this the play arc? I wonder if we'll see the play in this volume) isn't the last arc
Also reminds me how brilliant the title will probably be when we fully realise what it's suppose to mean. As of now, it's still pretty enigmatic. We see ways it links to characters and plot point, but i don't think we can say for sure yet.

Romantist? Romanticist? Romantic?

Yeah it sounds pretty awkward, but this is our final consensus (tho the title on the reader wasn't updated)

Man, **Flip Flappers*, I'm scared lol, shit's pretty real
I like how Yayaka, tho we do know that she'd probs join the mcs' side at once point, didn't actually behave/it didn't all happen like I thought it would. She actually still struggled about it, or more like, she very consciously and firmly decides to stay with her own organisation, but can't exactly bring herself to seriously hurt Cocona. If she could, she'd prefer not to, even if she doesn't acknowledge it herself. I thought it was really interesting that the way it happened, wasn't actually her betraying her own group, but more that she wavered, and the twins immediately cast her out, attacked with the intention to take her out with Cocona. Pretty harsh, that scene wasn't as "relaxed" and casual as other stuff, I really thought she'd die for a sec.
Tho we find out that her entire friendship with Cocona was planned from the start, that the organisation roots itself deeper in Yayaka's life, entire existence, deeper than we thought, her friendship with Cocona is pretty real, she actually is jealous and resents Papika for coming into her life. Despite her whole fight with Papika, about Cocona and the amorphous' worth and Papika insisting that Cocona is more important, and Yayaka taking the opposite side, when she saw the twins coming at the time, when she let go of the fragment and shielded Cocona with her own body, whoa. That scene really got to me. Man I hope she's alright.
Papika's memories/association of Cocona with her past partner tho, it's really awkward, makes things tense with Cocona. Cocona's sense of identity is pretty weak as it is, (she's empty apparently, from what the antagonist in Ep 3 said), to confuse Cocona with another girl is pretty bad, hits the nail right on the head. It also worries me, to think that maybe, Papika's attachment to Cocona from the get-go stems from her fondness of a previous partner and isn't entirely "real'. In the last 3 eps, at the end, whenever amorphous are used/.react in some way, it seems like the memory of Mimi comes back, stronger and stronger. It's also worrisome that Papika herself doesn't remember/know what happened to the girl.
It was a good episode, tho I feel like a large part of the conflict, the dialogues and their symbolism of the world likely went over my head

WHAT. THERE'S MORE.

Is it gonna be about the pos-graduates or the new Class Black, peeps?

That's
That's what we've been reading just now

I think I found a mistake, pg 13 "considering how this school full of pretty girls..." should be "is full", missing "is".

pg 28, "eachother" needs a space.

Plus

Just small stuff, it happens, thanks for your time and work @translator.w

I started Bhikhuni yesterday, it looks great, I'm really happy that I get to finally play it ;u;
I get that in the Dining Room, you can increase/develop character relationships by collecting the hearts, but does it actually do anything, besides unlocking the events/scenes? Does it influence the gameplay in any way?

It's over huh? Then I have some questions for the true fans XP not like me who only watched the anime... I want to hear what you guys think of the manga ending... It's better than the anime? very different? it has more yuri?
Please I need answers

It has more yuri.
Idk if it's better know, I don't even know if I could say if either anime or manga was better. I feel like they complete each other, in a way.

Could have and should have used more pages to flesh things out. The entire series was rushed tbh, which is unfortunate. Some scenes or fights were over within the same chapter... tho I still enjoyed the story in general. Isuke and Haruki canon was surprising, but welcome.

was I the only one who notice Isuke and Haruki are wearing matching rings?

It was a nice touch, tho I would have liked to see the same for some of the other pairings

LOL I FOUND IT, AND IT TOOK QUITE SOME DIGGING TOO

I think what was going on there was the stone was crystallized mana, letting Zophie ignore the dead spots, rather than shutting down Izetta. Still bullshit, though

Izetta commented something like "this area should be rich with magic" indicating that her powers were being suppressed by an external force. Then again, is Izetta supposed to know exactly where the ley lines are?

You know...
It will be a bullshit if the germanians find about the ley lines location and never actually uses it.

And they did D: They choose to attack in a place where there are ley lines, where Izetta would feel confident, thus drawing her out. And then bam, Sophie ambushed her

I think there are two I remember with the ice cream falling concept, but for now, this is the only one I can find, tho it isnt a cheek kiss

ROFL, what a twist lmfao

Aw, this is pretty sweet, its a nice mood

From what i read, it was just a sequence where the VAs acted out fan submitted lines tho, but it's still nice to hear their voices, 10/10 voice acting, its so sweet I cant ;A;

Kanna is getting a spin off manga!

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2016-11-28/miss-kobayashi-dragon-maid-manga-gets-spinoff-in-december/.109240

Lmao wow, I surprised, but then again, id totally read that. It's by a different artist however, I wonder what their style is like

The Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon: Kanna no Nichijō spinoff series follows the dragon character Kanna, as she goes through her casual daily life of waking up, going to school, and playing with Saikawa.

I'm up for that, I want to see her interact with Saikawa more tbh

I smile every time I see Wtv's avatar, christ I love that anime so much, it's so much fun, I'm happy just thinking about it
It's about girls playing ping pong goddamnit lmao, but it turned out to be super fun, zero regrets, I'm really glad I watched it

Yeah...I'm kinda sad that it's not selling well, though. I wanted they to keep the story until the national at least.
It would be cool if at least someone translate the manga, but well...

I loved Kururi's design since the opening. Then her episode came and she's best than I expected.

I like her too ;____; When I first saw her in the op, I thought that her hair was interesting, like she was frog-themed or something. I feel like each character has a theme actually, or at least a quirk. Koyori's a pup, Agari has her arrow, Hokuto's a bun, idk about Hanabi but she reminds me of Zapdos, Munemune-senpai and boobs maybe lmao. Idk about Kiruka. Sasorida is a scorpion, the pink girl is a pendulum, the chuunibyou girl is a wall, and Hamu is a hamster lmao. We don't know much about Zakuro yet.
I like that behind Kururi's cold facade, she's super passionate about Zakuro c: They're really cute omg
I'm sad it isn't as popular as I'd like it to be (do you mean the manga?)
Idk how far in the story is, manga-wise, but I'd love to read it ;_____; I wanna know all about their growth and exploits as athletes ;____; The anime's obviously not getting very far, we might never find out more, past the ending of the 12-3 eps

I'm expecting her to kill him tbh, which I wouldn't mind. He tried taking Shio-chan home once, practically drooled all over her. He worries me, I don't like him. It's annoying that he accuses Sato of abducting the girl, that it's something "unforgivable" but that's totally what he tried to do, barely weeks ago. *rolls eyes*.

Edit: What's up with the chapter organisation? Chapter 8 marks the start of V3, and V4 starts with chapter 12.

^ Probably too graphic to show on TV...

I would have loved to see that. The bitch would have deserved it anyway
