^She might be searching for how-to on her phone, like this

Anime incoming, yay!

Well, Ikuyo, you can spice it up this time, then repeat it regularly enough to normalise it, and voilà, you will have a new type of "regular sleepover" as spicy as you can take it :))

^The anime is okay-ish, but the manga is great, you should try it.

Their school uniform's collars are normally white colour, all those who wear it black are most likely imposters. Clara Dolls, probably.

Well, saltier water is heavier, so ships will float better on it. The physics checks out.

^ Canon cannot deter determined (crack)shippers, and the sea that the fleets of (crack)ships sail on is salty for a reason :))

As fun as Queen x Miko is, wouldn't that theory require Miko to be a summoned saint? The setup implied that's how these royals reproduce with the saint x princess marriage. I'd be inclined to think that the Queen's saint returned to earth at some point instead. I think the queen can still be shacking up with Miko without Miko being her baby momma.

Nah, the saints are only summoned in times of calamity, and they are then paired with the available princess at the time, but when there's no calamity no saint would be summoned and the royal would proceed to reproduce with whoever they usually do that with.

Ya I like the Queen so far so hopefully there's no twist like that. Also would like more info on the other parent of her two daughters, which some are speculating is the head court magician. Magic yuri babies would be right at home in this fantasy setting.

Yeah, as of ch03 no male was seen anywhere in that isekai, so magic yuri babies is the most likely explanation, seeing that the tradition is to get the summoned saints (all female, afawk) to marry the princesses. Also quite a lot in the comment section of MDex appear to think that the Queen is banging Miko :))

Based on the first chapter's TN, wouldn't the title be better translated as "powerless saint and talentless princess"?

Yes, but on the cover of JPN raw ch01 the author decided to add their own English version of the title in small scripts, so the translators just kept that. Some similar cases I could recall off the top of my head are Whispering You a Love Song (Sasayaku you ni Koi o Utau), Demon Lord of "Yashiro" (Yashiro no Maou), I Want to Make Black-Knight Fall In Love With Me! (Gakeppuchi Reijou wa Kurokishi-sama wo Horesasetai!),... Usually such small script titles are not the most literal translation, nor are they oftentimes the best translation, unfortunately.

Japan x China enters the fray!

That's Mahiru for sure, eye colour, hair style, Suzudaru Cat and all. Rare ship.

^ more like these two retained popularity amongst Korean (and Taiwanese, as far as I can tell) artists while sort of faded away from others.

^^, ^: Yeah, in the anime, after the surgery Chisato's chest was always shown covered in bandages or shirt or a tube top, but for some reasons the fandom just collectively agreed that she gained a long large scar between her breasts as typical amongst heart surgery patients. The one that should be there since the first artificial heart installation was handwaved as "children's skin heal better than adults'".

^This doujin appears to set after the end of ep09, so Chisato hasn't had the big surgery that leaves the scar yet.

"WE NEED AN ADULT!!" - the two of them, probably.

She has learned to defend from sister Flora :))

^ the snout looks a bit too thick to be mimicking a fox face, more like German Sherpherd or may be Husky, I think. Moreover, even if it's a fox, are you sure it doesn't say "wa pa pa pa papa pow" or "ahee ahee hahee"? :))

^^ I thought we've learned that lesson with Tomoko :v

"Are ya winning, onee-chan?"

I thought it was rather new for Yodokawa to create a story where the older girl takes initiative chasing the younger one for once, but nope, it was the younger chasing after the older, again :))

YOU D E E R

And there's a good chance those "nature" girls are girls who turned themselves into parts of local flora and fauna to escape Apollo's affection :))

Also, Itsuwari no Marigold had just "finished" (I want to see the final vol 03 before saying the ending feels natural or not, but I think I caught a whiff of Axe-kun's smell) and Sasuke is already putting out a new series with even more absurd premise, let's see how it goes and hope for all the best.
