Big news everyone! Please Bully Me Miss Villainess recently won a bilibili contest and will be getting a 30 SECOND ANIMATED PV!!! I can't wait to see Evie and Elsa animated on screen, even if its only for a short time.

Very exciting!

30 seconds is kinda short... I hope it's quality animation, not just talking heads. :/

It's not hand-drawn animation, but the manhua/comic pages animated. The biggest thing about this news is how Bilibili will invest enough in the series to promote it overseas, and that PBMMV was one of eight series out of all of Bilibili's manhua series to win this prize.

There's not sticking the landing and then there's tripping over your own feet at the end of the balance beam, somersaulting past a bunch of "moves"/information that should have been presented, and then landing flat on your back, upside-down from the judges. I've actually never felt this cheated by an ending before, maybe because it should have been easy to close.

Nope. The raw is slowly moving towards a conclusion.

Messy and perfect for it. Sort of straddles yuri and subtext but didn't really matter here for the heart of the character's relationship. They have a nice set of complicated emotions that bash against each other. Though it is disappointing Natsuki just goes on to have a random boyfriend without any reservation and the story treats it like that's normal.

Sort of genius how it plays with gender and sexual orientation, even casually having a trans parent to bounce those ideas off of. The transgender tag did confuse me and led me to think Hisoka was trans, but by the end it was clear she just didn't know how else to explain her feelings, which is both endearing and sad. The very final line of it being love from one girl to another really made me metaphorically squeal.

This is the type of work that makes me uncomfortable but it's not a terrible uncomfortable in this case. Since the in-universe setting already mentions it as a possibility, I, uh, do hope they break up eventually.

GTB's physical release and merch pre-ordering started just three days ago and in two days Xian Jun had to stop the physical release pre-ordering because it was already hitting her stock amount. Not sure how many she had printed but that's amazing speed.

Read chapter one. Excellent start.

Can someone PLEASE draw a doujin of these two?

The creators are willing to do it if the Ko-fi reaches a certain amount.

Link?!

http://ko-fi.com/chise621. It's also on every credits page from ch34 onwards.

I enjoyed the tone of this work a great deal. It felt romantic, you could even say, in that subtext way. Deep feelings that aren't explicitly being expressed but are conveyed through how the character changes her evaluation of the other girl.

This story just makes me miss Tamen De Gushi even more :(. Back before he wasn't forced to cancel that series and we just get random art every once and a while I miss the actual story.

She was in no way forced to cancel the series. Whatever the reasons for not continuing to post it seriously, it was not because she was "forced" to stop.

Feels like the story's heading towards a close, unless it continues into college. Very cute still how they're figuring out their future together.

Like how the tropes get deployed and then minimized, like with the car accident thing. Just little reminders of why those tropes even exist in the first place. Not really sure how well it'll wrap up though, but just along for the ride.

The web novel notably has more lore and details.

Baumkuchen and not Tendou Maya related, I feel cheated. The throwing up part is hilariously gross and on-point.

Oh I get it now. So in the new version the VS has basically stopped working right and tried to force the death of Elsa with no way out... Interesting. I wonder if it's going to be a plot point later.

I'd question if that is it not working "right" but it certainly does seem something tried to force Elsa's death.

I wonder why, in the manga, in the episode where Elsa is possessed by a mare and almost jumps off a roof, they changed the orders of the Villainess system.

This is because the beginning chapters of the manhua used an old version of the WN, where there were two villainess system options, but most importantly not a third zero-point option. In the updated, most current version of the WN, it was changed to what it is now.

-In the manga, past-Elsa was far more hesitant about Yvonne and thought she was just other rich girl bullying her for fun.

I'd say the WN and manhua are actually consistent in that regard. They use the same scene, where Elsa thinks that Yvonne's just another noble bullying her just because, and then begins to think that Yvonne might be different after she stands up for her.

This chapter is great overall. I did greatly enjoy the greater elaboration of plot details too.

How casually Nanami is fine with what happened while Mizuki is torn up about it is everything I had hoped for from this series.

I love Tongtong's mom, but I don't know why I ever expected her plan to not be stupid.

I can't overstate just how sure she was of her plan too. The woman had literally been calling Luxi's mom for 400 days.

Hahaha, this was good age gap. Also in case it hasn't been mentioned before, loads of respect for translating the author's notes every time.

Fellas according to author’s weibo she is drawing lewd story of these gals and selling it on taobao!

Like,
physically?
Or digitally?
Oh my god, I don't want to order through taobao, though.
My aunt will see.

The sale was temporary and it's already over. There might be another in the future. And it was digital.

This most recent one was very nice. Unlike some of the previous painting inspirations, when the painting frame came up, it didn't feel forced at all. One of the few rare true fantasy yuri stories out there and with a dose of tragedy to boot. Hope that there's more like this in this series.

Is no one going to bring up how the princess turned into a male lion?

Did think about it. Just rolled with it because that's how the painting was originally and the mangaka's committed to yuri.

I was lied to. I thought this series wasn't going to have drawn out drama and it was just going to be wholesome.

The author made that notice after this entire arc was done, and the web novel only had this angst for literally two real-life days. Everything after this will be almost purely fluff and wholesome or at least not angst for a long, long time.

Also note the web novel notice is only guaranteed to apply to, well the web novel. The manhua has some changes in the pacing that might alter how things feel. But even so, the fluff should return in another two chapters, and three chapters at the most.

Dude so PAPA has always thought of Mami becoming an idol. It's like Veranda is just a precursor to MagiRepo.
