"The only thing that matters is that you're you." is just *chef's kiss* ripe for turning around on Shiori at some point.

What is a student teacher.. A teacher that's also a student I guess. Even still I highly doubt marriage was gonna be their biggest obstacle in this case.
This manga makes no sense lol. Still, it's a little bit of fun I guess so whatevs works.

Basically. A student without a teaching license that assists with the responsibilities of one or more teacher/professor faculty, including occasionally leading a lecture. My limited understanding is this may be with done either with the intention of obtaining a license to teach or not.

So I don't get the conflict here. Why would she ever object to getting drunk? Especially if it's to find the way out? Drinking alcohol is, like, her whole thing.

Basically what Naori has to do here is get Hinata drunk specifically to use her ogre powers to escape their situation, as opposed to just giving her food she needs to live. While I won't spoil how this plays out in the next chapter, Naori's main concern is that Hinata hates being an ogre, hence the whole search for the Kinpen Sudoku Sake, so the idea of forcing or even tricking Hinata to drink specifically to become an ogre isn't something Naori's keen on doing.

Huh. I guess I always characterized Hinata's distaste for being an ogre originating from the limitations it placed on her, particularly by requiring her to be dependent on other people for food. I didn't think she had any inherent problem with being an ogre, just its limitations. Under that light it would have made sense for her to even be happy or excited about finally having some aspect of her burden being useful, which is where I assumed the plot point was going.

There's also the resemblance of what she's preparing to do to what the fuckheads in chapter one were doing: pressing Hinata to drink with an ulterior motive under the pretext of wanting her to enjoy herself.

Frankly, I think it'd be better for Naori to be fully up-front about it and hope that's where the story goes.

Woooo here comes the contrivance that convinces the sex worker to give up her stable income for a thin promise because obviously sex workers are undateable and we as readers couldn't bear to see an adult protagonist choose to enter a lasting relationship with such a person.

Oh sick, multiple comments in a row amounting to "There are men in my f/f fiction!" If y'all don't care for it, a large majority of works on this very site will cater to you.

I'm both lamenting and grateful to my not discovering this manga until now, when scanlation is approaching completion. Keiko's doubtful enthusiasm and Tsubaki's dread-laden coyness both hit me so hard in relation to my past mistakes, such that the reading feels a tiny bit excruciating. I can recall few instances of YA/seinen fiction as accurate about lazy slides into obliteration, or the fumbling exploration of kids into questions they'll never answer.

Oh, and the art is stunning.

No one's mentioned it but shoutout to Saki's mom in this chapter. Strong early contender for Best Parent of a Fictional Gay 2022 (Manga).

Hijiri is a hero. Luckily it doesn't seem Kamijou is incredibly critical of her predilections, at least.

I’m not too sure at what she’s holding at the end

I think she's smelling Arisa's lingering scent on the sheets.

It's wild how immediately I'm loving these horrible cuties. Smh that they didn't all respond to the confession together though, I wanted to see this kid's mind blown by the idea of dating the five of them at once.

hard to tell anyone's gender

Why is this a negative for you?

This is the feeling when you're neurodiverse and find out she's also neurodiverse.

I was going to say it's very t4t, but yours also works.

What's happening is Mother Kagami is attempting to groom Shinobu in an pretty disgusting way as a stand-in for her mom. Whether that was her intention from the jump is unclear.

I feel like the lead-in for Kagami here indicates she and her mother feel she is in some way responsible for Chiyo's death. Either way I think her being the product of an unwanted heterosexual union hasn't endeared her to her mother.

Claire and Rei once again SERVING LOOKS. The art in this adaptation is so good.

Also, I get that folks on this forum are generally fans of the wimmen and his character doesn't help but imo Salas does look pretty attractive here.

Well, the author definitely found the line past which I actively root against Utena. Appropriate timing, I guess. Goodness was this chapter discomfiting,

I'm never really opposed to an expanded cast, so long as these girls are characters and not very fashionable lore dumps.

I get that Ai's big thing is being overt and sincere, but like... please double-check with the girl in question before outing your underage partner to her family.

Props to the artist for finding the simple solution to the entire "gender bender" genre.

Also, they're cute together.

Sensei has only discovered what it's taken many masters years to discern. There are exactly two archetypes in storytelling: "tiny lesbian with a heart of gold" and "gigantic powerhouse lesbian".
