^They're the Star Guardian universe skin line versions of the characters, the magical girls of League.

Well that was different lol

I hope the new character isn't super annoying and in the way, I want more coziness with the main pair growing closer together. Even this chapter I was thinking, we could be spending this time focused on our main characters instead...

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.

I think it depends on the vampire mythology, here it hasn't gone super in depth with vampire lore and the girls seem to retain their sense of self. Maybe Johnb saw Sinners, and they're thinking about how the vampires in that movie are more of a hivemind, where you die and you lose your sense of self. When you get converted by a vampire you're no longer you, instead you're part of a collective whole. Which is really creepy. I'm glad this manga doesn't seem to be going that route, and it's mostly just having fun with vampire themes in a more campy rom-com way lol

Well this made me sad. A lot of struggling to communicate feelings and not acting on love, letting it slip through your fingers, and so forth.

^A drummer and her stray cat is a bit of the general idea lol

You can't hold back when you're supporting your girlfriend, going all out is required

Sandwich first, kissing later?

Egg sandwich

That's some powerful bushy pubic hair, I'm also once again saying we need a pubic hair tag lol

Also mermaid Yuri is always appreciated.

Go kiss your girl!

^God that kind of response in this type of scenario gives me physical pain lmao

They stripped her down to make it easier/cleaner to bite in case Ruruna decides to turn her. Why think of some complicated reasons while a simple one works? And that comment about the author's views is so odd, especially in a manga about vampire and thralls.

Vampire stories do get into dubious consent elements, hypnosis is part of that, along with a vampire exerting their power over a human, and making humans into slaves/thralls. I am fully aware of this. Also Teren Mikami has had a complicated relationship with consent in other works of hers to say the least. I think I didn't word my last comment well and I apologize for that. I'm not saying the author is a bad person, just that with fiction from what I can tell she enjoys dub-con at least.

This teacher being knocked out, stripped down to her underwear, tied up, and potentially made into a slave, would be really dark in a different context but this series is a fantastical rom-com harem lol

For me this was kind of lukewarm, nothing amazing, but not terrible either. I just couldn't stop thinking how ridiculous it is that she wears this one bunny outfit for a whole month (or was it more?). Was it implied that she has more than one? I didn't get that impression. Is she just naked while she cleans/dries it? How would she manage that without ever being exposed to the MC?

She can just be naked and wash it while Kano isn't home. Nude laundry days are a real thing lol

Right, I keep forgetting that drying machines are a thing. Plus, considering that she's walking around half naked, the weather is probably warm enough that it dries by the time Kano gets home.

Yeah rentals with a washer/dryer combo are ideal imo

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

Weirdly, there's a sensible answer to this. Most people would be hesitant to run into public half-naked. Even in a situation like this, baked in social norms will get you faster than you expect.

She’s tied up AND outnumbered. Stripping her partially nude seems overkill + if anyone were to open that door/enter the classroom they couldn’t come up with a BS lie

Edit, re-wording my comment:

I think also Teren Mikami enjoys dub-con elements and questionable scenarios sometimes.

Her being stripped feels so awkwardly random lol

Your question makes no sense. Obviously you can't strip her after tying her up. You gotta think of these things!

This got a good laugh from me

Maybe it’s just wishful thinking, but I’m getting a slight Nagori Yu hit off this one—that dynamic of the tall, knowing but benign (and slightly amused) older woman and the blushing, naive, and eager-to-please (and be pleased) younger girl.

I guess the centipede tattoo > snake goddess thing too . . .

Yeah I can definitely see vibes of Nagori Yu

I like that at the end of this chapter you can see them wearing what the other one picked
I was half expecting there to be a thing of momo not wanting to wear something frilly but I think it’s cute they both went along with it

They're practically married already lol

I guess in a way it's kind of interesting to me how much different experiences contrast here. Maybe it's because I genuinely really like Takeshima Eku, and while I think she has her issues her I do think she's a good writer in my opinion. I might be one of the few people in this community that loves Whispering You a Love Song. Other people seem to think less of her, and that's fine.

As I've said previously we all have our opinions, same with how some people think this work is extremely shallow but I thought the depth was good. I didn't think it tried to make me feel sad and I thought it delivered the backstory well. I thought the couple's chemistry was fantastic. I also thought we got good fluff with the hug, the kiss, plus the way they smile at each other. Those are all reasons why I really enjoyed the work, and as I said in another comment it's like I'm reading an entirely different work than the people that didn't like it, since the reactions are so opposite in every way possible. I never expected this work to be so divisive, especially with how happy it made me feel when I was reading it from start to finish. It is what it is though, and I suppose I'll be a bit more mentally prepared for this kind of split with Takeshima Eku's future works lol

Well that solves my curiosity on if the smoking smell would be brought up now that they're living together lol

Being into it because it reminds her of her crush is one way of adjusting to the new circumstances. I feel like I've seen that before in another series.

Also walking around nude in the morning is definitely one way to kill the girl crushing on you lmao

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.

Aye, and it's the exact same for every single manga that features smoking.

You can pretty much make a list of tags like that lol

I hope the anime uses the WB's artstyle, the hair is so fluffy.

I had a brief loading moment when I read this, since I first thought Warner Brothers? Then Web Novel clicked lol

Short hair looked bad. The earth is healing.

I think she looks good no matter the hair cut personally

"..but the bunny suit stays on during sex!"
"Well, obviously"

It's mandatory lol
