Is there some special connotation for "cute and funny" now?

@juanelric Isn't the joke there supposed to be about colonial powers being absolutely awful?

I wouldn't count memory erasure, on its own, as mind control even if it was performed on someone else. It's not quite active enough.

Also, if you really don’t like the het, you could just imagine the trainer as a woman in a really unflattering outfit.

It's not that I don't like het, in general—I still want to see the trans Gomez and Morticia art get added and that's absolutely het—It's just that the tone of this specific piece is a bit off.

Wasn't there something about Calli picking up and rotating Kronii recently?

I know there are a few het works on dynasty, but usually there's something queer, or at least cute, about them. This one feels a little bit off.

I feel like in real lofe I'd be super impressed by someone printing out fanfic and binding it to read.

Some fan fics are really well written, so I could see wanting them in physical form. The real problem is they tend to be really long, compared to most traditionally published books, so you'd probably need to break it into multiple books and it'll eat a ton of paper.

Huh. I had a very different take on things. It felt more like Shino's an exhibitionist and the guy was just a convenient prop to give her a sense of danger. I mean, these girls had sex in a classroom while they could see other students out the window. They also brought a strap-on to school and decided to use it in the gym storage room, when they knew the soccer team was practicing.

The thrill of almost, or actually, getting caught was the point. The person doing the catching is irrelevant.

It feels a bit odd to call it a fossil word when scant (e.g. scant evidence) is also still in use.

Is it just me or do Rainbow Dash and Applejack look very ... I want to say bara.

^^^Honestly I like the trilogy it isn't much worse than other FF games, I still belive that people shitted on it because of open-world craze at that time and most of XIII was pretty linear.

the game also felt like it would rather play itself during combat, rather than let you play.

What is destruction chocolate and what does she mean by "the chocolate destroys"? It feels like some words or missing or maybe something got translated incorrectly?

No it really is "the chocolate destroys". Destroys is in Engrish. How and what does chocolate destroy? Your guess is as good as mine but I feel like the nonsensical aspect is the joke.

Interesting. Thank you for the clarification.

Also like I migt be reading it wrong but on Page 6 Ruruna really doesn't look like she wants to bite sensei lmao.

Ruruna definitely didn't want to bite her. (Un)Fortunately, Wakana is in charge of this harem.

That or the caption is lying.

Well this was unexpected and a reminder that I really need to get around to watching Gunbuster and Diebuster.

I wonder if the cursed items are going to start bringing the dead ninjas back into the main story.

Also, minor type on page 156. Konoha says "The lenses are cracked aren't them", which should probably read "aren't they".

It's Toga. Most of what she does is legally and/or morally questionable.

Well, that chapter was off the rails. Am I missing something or was there a massive genre shift at the end? If so, any clues as to why it happened?

I'm getting the feeling that not even Ruruna can release these girls from being her thralls. It's like she is casually just ending their life's as they know it,and there's no way to bring them back. The thought feels kind of icky honestly.

I don't think it's really fair to say she "ended their lives as they know it". Sure, Wakana's gone off the deep end, but that seems to be more because she wanted to go off the deep end and even if Ruruna could release her she'd probably keep at it. Yura, by contrast, seems to still be acting pretty normally. She's getting dragged in to Wakana's shenanigans more, but she was already inclined to follow Wakana and I don't think it's had that large of an impact on her life.

starting to realize Wakana is more messed up than Ruruna and that makes it way more entertaining lol

You're only just now realizing that?

I just realized something. There are laws governing what vampires can do, and those laws are enforced by humans, meaning there's at least some awareness of vampires existing in this world, though it's not clear how widespread that knowledge is. Wakana and Yura didn't seem to know about them, but I wonder if the teacher will.

Similarly, there's an information network for monsters, not just vampires, so I wonder if any of Wakana's victims—let's be realistic here, she's the one who's in charge and targeting people—will turn out to be a different kind of monster.

... Why did they strip her before tying her to the chair?

Solid manga.

Predictably disappointing comment section. ^^

In what way do you think it's disappointing?

I don't want to speak for op, but I'd say the constant talk about how gross smoking is gets pretty tiresome.

Oh this is very real, yeah. It's a manga for sickos who are into smoking women (affectionate), you'd think they'd filter themselves out

There's a lot more to this manga than just a hot woman smoking.

The glorification of cigarettes last chapter felt a bit much, but everything else about this manga continues to be amazing.

Koma clearly knows what she's doing when it comes to being a wing women and Momo remains unreasonably hot. It's also kind-of funny that Kaori's drawn in a slightly different style from everyone else, but she sort-of snaps into the regular style when sufficiently shocked or flustered.

Actually, at least in this chapter, all three of the characters seem to have their own, very different, eye styles. Momo has a fairly traditional style with all of the parts well defined, Kaori has a childish-retro look, and Koma as a very simplified and symbolic look. It's interesting how that lines up with Kaori's and Koma's characters, but I'm not sure what the more traditional style is supposed to say about Momo. I also wonder if the fact that Momo keeps her style more consistently than the others has any significance. Similarly they seem to drift towards her style when they lose their own, but that might just be because her style is the least stylized.

Wow. The name rang a bell, but it took me WAY to long to realize it was Kino's Journey. The first one was such a cozy show—yes, I consider philosophical musings cozy—but I wasn't as hooked by the remake.
