I wonder if it was the same for their mom

Since Maron knows Scummy picked her because she resembles a character, is she ever gonna roleplay as that character

One thing that kinda annoys me is how the idea that sex somehow translates to love here

Reminiscing about your ex while drowning in a double marshmallow heaven? Being Mei is suffering...

Oof. I was doubtful that the highschool crush would return, but now I’m convinced she’s definitely coming back later.
Actually, I bet that’s gonna be the endgame. Mei either abandons these weirdos to be with her crush, or she’ll turn down the crush to date all 5 of her weirdos.

Or she'll end up dating those 5 and her crush. Can't discount that possibility

The crush actually represents a secret sixth sense.

Time?

Nah, the sixth sense is seeing dead people, like Bruce Willis in the end of Sixth Sense.

Mei is dead?

That's it? Where is the rest of it!

It might actually be hard cumming only once reading this =p

imagine cumming at all, ever LMAO you are weak and will not survive november

What does facial hair have to do with this

Hot shower

The art and the beginning of this story were stronger than the pre-serialization, but the second half of the story was much weaker. Too much melodrama if you ask me.

From a technical point of view the og versions story absolutely imploded in just 1 chapter

A little thing I think they missed is showing a clear view of the Crest

Is the role switch all a metaphor for getting out of the closet?

What

There's also Reverse Harems (girl has guys that revolve around her, not sure if there's a better name),

Urgh, the name "reverse harem" makes me shudder and feel gross. Because a woman is not the "reverse" of a man, and anyway, the literal name implies it's the reverse of a harem which is ... monogamy? No relationships?

Not your fault there's no better name, I just resent whoever came up with it in the first place.
I try to call them female-led harem. To avoid the icky feeling.

I just call them Harems

I think it was ok for what it is, an enjoyable ecchi/hentai with vanilla romance.

however I'm not a fan of the ending, I was expecting older nana to return to her original timeline and then working the courage to confess to seto and date her, like a "return to your own world and fix things there" kind of ending.

Highfive

One thing I don't understand is why older Seto didn't get pissed when she found out Nana had been doing lewd stuff with her younger self and just got turned on instead.

"What's that honey, were you kissing and making love to Me~"

Huh that was a little unexpected, she didn't go back to her own timeline and she didn't go to the new timeline, instead the two merged into some mix that's more like the old timeline but with changes that took place in the new one

Part of me is disappointed that I didn't get to see the ending I invisioned, but this one isnt bad either. I do think the manga lost a bit of steam after she revealed her identity, but overall I have to say I loved this EcchiRom, though more of adult Seto would have been awesome

Mao: "Stay away from Yuki!

Arashi: "uhmm I think you should know that I'm straight"

Mao: "Whhhaaaaaaaaa???

I know it's in the title and all but I don't really find Makino to be that scummy outside of getting a prostitute, kinda stalking said prostitute, and then falling in love with said prostitute. Maron just seems to be a hooker with a heart of gold and puts up with all of the other stuff it seems because she can't be that oblivious about the stalking part at last lol. The heart wants what the heart wants.

I mean she extorted her sister for money to pay said prostitute and also spends all her money on prostitutes (including lying to her parents to get money for the prostitute) so like
I mean she's also like really lazy and bad at school but those are kinda smaller and less scumbaggy

She did not extort her sister, she has at no point shown any intent to hurt her on any way, bis sis offered a sibling bribe out of nowhere

Today on Kokeshis sexual harassment journey: no sexual harassment, commentary on the demands of school life, and snacks

That was nice, I think their relationship works really well for an adventurer group. They can still marry each other when they settle down one day. It needs more kinky yuri demons, catgirls and futa in the future though.

One of these is not like the others
One of these doesn't belong
Now can you tell me which of these aren't like the others
Before I finish this song

I don’t understand the mentality of someone who reads a harem series and doesn’t want it to end with a polycule.
Do they just enjoy watching half the characters get their hearts broken or something? I’m genuinely curious what they get out of it.
(Obviously not everything has to be polyam, but it’s really underrepresented in media, so I’d like to see more of it and harem series are pretty much halfway there already so,)

When you watch a sport tournament then you know that everyone but the winner is gonna be sad about it

But that's not why you watch it

This kinda highlights a key difference between a polyam mindset and a mono one. The idea that love is competitive, exclusive and finite. In our case everyone can be a winner, there are no losers and instead of divisive, love is multiplicative and only grows when shared among more people.

That's the ideal of course and relationships are never that easy/clear cut but on a fundamental level that's how it feels

I certainly don't see love as finite but I'm not (pardon my language) hippe enough to think that you can have that kind of relationship with everyone you have an interest in, bland more importantly the other girls all have to like each other as well, if they don't then it's a Haram and those aren't about love

And of course there is the part were these kinds of stories are set up to be about the excitement of rooting for your team for the sake of having an exciting read

What is a T-RPG

Akira sad
I sad

I also note that the girls are used to having A/C in their bedrooms.

Also, all you naked sleepers... what do you do if you need to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, and you live with people you might run into? Throw on a bathrobe?

Reasons not to sleep naked:

You live with people you don't want to see you naked (or who don't want to see you naked)

Ablative sweat/skin/groin-stuff absorbing layer between you and the bedsheets, so they need to be changed less often.

You need them for warmth even with blankets and such.

You have underwear on and if that's not enough coverage for the bathroom trip then throw on a blanket

Clothes get saturated with sweat way faster than your bedsheets, it's not a nice thing to wake up to imo
