I normally avoid age gap stuff, but this is a really interesting premise (and I love Akashi a lot as an author), so I'm definitely sticking with it. i can definitely see Shimizu and Maekawa in these two character both in terms of character design and also a bit of personality too.

This reminds me of the series with the bus driver

It might've been that Rival-san was creepy and hard to root for in the web version. Although, the serialization made her characterization more clumsy-in-love and significantly less scummy.

Or at least, that's my impression of the work.

That's how I felt too. The serialization diverges a lot from the webcomic for the purposes of being much less a gag comic and much more of an actual romance

Theory: The system is trying to force the heroine towards one of the LIs. She's got her own system popups that she's actively avoiding in order to chase Evie. That's why she got possessed the first chapter: she was being punished.

This is the usual way systems work in these kinds of stories. Since a few people seem confused about it I'll try to explain.

This manhua (and many novels) operate with "systems" which are usually computer-like programs that control the world, and attempt to push the main characters to follow a pre-determined "plot" that's usually designed to get an FL (female lead) and an ML (male lead) together. For reincarnated people such as the villainess in our story, they are often given a set of tasks to bully or harass the FL in such a way that the ML can come and save her, thus pushing those two together and making the "plot" move forward.

Think of it like a game world where the system is a giant overarching computer/mechanized thing that works to keep whatever plot intact. In this case the villainess system is attempting to make Eve act the part of antagonist in order to comply with the original otome game dating sim plot, and the punishments are equivalent to trying to "debug" the world so the program runs smoothly.

Taking up hydroponic gardening just for ur gf is true devotion right there

Okay easy peasy just sacrifice ur own soul haha

Flirtatious senior is too powerful, my heart was struck by her stare

Would it be possible to upload this on mangadex too? I wanna spread the word about the series on the otome isekai subreddit but they don’t allow posts from anywhere except mangadex and bato unfortunately

Ohh I’m so excited about this, I love villainess yuri!

I can’t help but wonder about the extent to which Nadeshiko actually has a free will and/or personality. I do feel like the moral implications of sex bots having humanoid intelligence is really fucked up, because the power differential between the human owner and the robot sex object is too much.

It would probably just be needlessly cruel to give a sex bot full humanoid intelligence, so that leads me to think that Nadeshiko merely has an imitation of true intelligence that only functions so far as to make the owner have a more pleasurable experience. So does Akane treating Nadeshiko as a human actually achieve anything? Or is Nadeshiko’s “intelligence” merely a means for sex with no real capacity for self reflection or decision making?

Ooh is this a series or a one shot? Cuz i need a full story asap.

4 volumes is a lot to have made literally zero progress. Like they said; it's 2021. Manga doesn't have to follow the conventions of decades long past. You are legally allowed to depict your characters being in a relationship without ending the story. There's no reason they couldn't have been together by the end of the first volume only for it to continue being a gag manga! I really wish mangaka would get over their crippling anxiety of ever drawing more than one chapter depicting two people in an actual gay relationship.

I disagree, I think its very realistically justified why they haven't gotten together yet. It's not about being afraid of drawing characters in an actual relationship (you have the entire couple life tag for that) it's about internalized homophobia and fear of losing your best friend if you make a move, and all these very real issues people face.

Also, Yatsude totally knows something is up, I'm curious what she'll do about it

ill become your mama

freud is spinning in his grave

to me this story was just sorta non-conclusive.

Could we categorize this as like a doujin for maple love or something to make it easier to go from one to the other?

What will happen first? Hino being honest for once? Ayano and Miyoshi starting dating? Nanoha and Chidori revealing their relationship at least to their friends? Or the characters from Tsunamino's mangas confessing their love?

It should happen right after season 2 of bloom into you and adachi and shimamura

That was the least realistic climax i think i've ever seen

She doesn't seem all that concerned, I just see two women fucking like rabbits, idk what part of this is "trying to tempt me" my friend you fell a long time ago

To be fair, I kinda get where Ruriko is coming from. If this wasn’t a yuri manga I would probably highly doubt they’d stay together, and especially since (up till this chapter) Ruriko hasn’t voiced her feelings for Kurumi at all.

Rip regular updates.

Also whoo boy its the archetypical manhua ex gf, don’t get cold feet now dr. Yu

Wow she successfully asked her to dinner, is she finally making her move?
