Somehow the premise of Misumi's manga sounds more like a "Tsukarekitta"-style stalker romantic comedy than anything edgy, what with the misunderstanding element, but seeing Aizawa say "Emo" was very funny.

I'm starting to like the Pink Savio-I mean, Madorami, she goes to such silly extremes just to troll Aizawa that she ends up coming across as a pitiful Saturday-morning cartoon villain.

The "He is the MC of a normal heterosexual story!" line made me wonder if this was a belated April's Fools joke TL.

Great story with charming art, but most importantly, Red was very cute.

"I don't think about wanting to do this with my mother"
Freud didn't like that.

I like how she tries to be smug but also blushes at the end.

I'm surprised that the simulation didn't crash again while they were holding hands, apparently that kind of lewd stuff was already programmed and bug-tested.

The wonders of friendship aside, I got to commend how adorable Xian Jun makes Tongtong look all the time, the art gives her a "cute lost puppy" vibe that combined with her interesting backstory/development makes for a compelling character to read about.

Relaire making a Joey face caught me off-guard, I never expected it to so add much to every chapter just by being on Rei's head, specially compared to the novel.
Cutest slime must be protected.

Seeing the fish dry up and lose their scales was sad, this truly should be called "Yoru to Miscommunication".
Angst aside, I love all the times that Aya calls Yano 'Tsukiko-kun', it has such a nice ring to it.

E-Fa-Dorn always delivers (even if they were swayed by RosMiya lately).
At least we still have the cute MVs they drew for this ship.

At least Madorami understands Ai's passion, in a way.
And lol that Jujutsu Kaisen imagine spot was anything but subtle, although I'm surprised that DefinitelyNotGojou got shipped with an Itadori spoof instead of, say, a Getou spoof.

Poor slug, it just wanted a quiet life without being poked.

Mako is simply normal-sized.

Hard to blame Aya for immediately thinking "Vampire!", the tomato juice sealed it.
The fact that Yano hadn't been exposed as a die-hard fish fan before this surprised me, I forgot that people don't see the floating sealife.

I hope that Mei-chan can get over her issues in the few chapters left.

She's based on the Dendrobates azureus, hence her JP name being Azureus instead of Blue Poison.

blue dragons are hermaphrodites and their male reproductive organs have evolved to be especially large and hooked

Accidentally seeing a picture of two IRL glauci having sex while Googling is a memory that I still want to remove from my brain with bleach.

Anyway, that was some god-tier redrawing with the SFX, the final "slip" dealt a critical hit.
It's crazy that nowadays you can see art of these two regularly outside of Lofter/Weibo. Their appearance together in the latest event and BP getting a skin did wonders to the ship's popularity.
I'm still sad that Hypergryph retconned BP being the one who invited Glaucus to Rhodes (along with many other aspects of Glaucus' backstory) though.

Oof, Yano was doing great, only to end up raising an even bigger wall. Would have been nice to actually see Aya rolling on the ground and throwing a tantrum.

Definitely married, blessed PareChu.

Great chapter, the vampire/starry night motifs that Aya's POV has tends to get drowned by how visually imposing Yano's fish visions are, so it was nice to see a bigger contrast through a character who views others as "jewels" who require polishing.
I hope we'll get a chapter for Love Brain girl and her flowers, they looked like Tulips, which in Hanakotoba would be either one-sided love (yellow) or fame/charity/trust (red). There's no color to be sure, but I'll bet they are yellow since she's Love Brain girl.
Incidentally, feeling the clash in the transition from inorganic jewels to scattered flowers made me realize how lucky Yano and Aya are that the latter's swimming fixation matches the former's fish fixation in a way.

So floating water managed to be weird even for everyone's standards, huh.
And it looks like sensei is back to making her doughnuts/tori, I'm glad.

"We won't die just because we don't eat"
What a line.

Fish-head Aya is best Aya.
And the amount of body language during Yano's discussion with her teacher was impressive, I always enjoy seeing the different ways in which Tsukiko expresses herself while keeping the same (-_-) face.

I feel like this had a better execution than the "twins struggling to be the same' yuri stories where they actually are, you know, twins.
Surprisingly great.

...Why the hell did i feel so happy for tsukiko getting mad?
Well, anyway, this chapter felt really special, nice, it resolved everything so easily but we immediately got into something less cliché and more interesting. I ain´t a literature genius so i won´t say this is genius, but, it is genius

Tsukiko getting openly mad is a nice contrast compared to the first time that Utsumi used the word "doll", back then she could only be confused by her own frustration. It seems that Aya hasn't been able to progess much though...

Well, that was a very "Yoru to Umi" way to solve the transfer issue, nothing happened and yet everything happened at the same time.
Hopefully Utsumi will stop putting her foot in her mouth before Tsukiko regrets her choice, but given how her lack of filter was firmly stablished in the second chapter, Utsumi's odds look tough.

I appreciate how despite there being other stories with the bubbles and fish motif, like "A monster wants to eat me" or "A tropical fish yearns for snow", this one encapsulates an oniric vibe with its imaginary elements that really makes it feel as if the reader were viewing everything through Tsukiko's hallucination-laden perspective, and at the same time emphasizes the idea that everything is foreign to her.

Who needs LSD when you see weird floating fish everywhere.

Those matching earrings sure are aesthetic, cute.
