Easily the most erotic chapter so far. Good stuff. Really painted the scene well. If the manga maintains this level of quality for the rest of it it'll be pretty great.

How can something so cute be so painful. If this doesn't get a proper ending I'm going to throw rocks at cars.

I like the brisk pace and frankness that this manga has. It does feel like it got axed, but it also feels like it would have only needed 2 volumes max to begin with. Is there another chapter that isn't translated? I'm sad that the foreshadowing about a "change in Rei" never got a real payoff (unless it was just referring to the fact that she's okay with kissing and such now).

This was great! Where can I find more from this author?

I thought I kind of understood what was going on in this one, and then I read the comments and realized I'm missing 100% of the relevant information. According to other people in this thread, Shiki and the nurse are not in any kind of romantic relationship, and are instead people who commiserate over their respective unrequited lesbian crushes. Then what the hell is going on in chapter 10? When I read it, I was like, "Oh, this is revealing the fact that their implied romantic relationship is something which Shiki is pushing for and not the other way around. Maybe she is blackmailing the nurse?" Except they don't have a romantic relationship at all and they're actually friends. So why does Haijima-sensei want to keep Shiki away from herself? And why is Shiki making that face on the second to the last page? Maybe this would all make way more sense if I just read the original work.

In fact, if there's no romantic relationship between the nurse and Shiki, then what's the point of half of these chapters? I was assuming that the second half of this story would be a big conflict centering on Tachibana realizing that Shiki was dating the nurse, and that the relationship is messy (something like Shiki is blackmailing the nurse, or the nurse is emotionally manipulating Shiki, or their relationship is inherently toxic because of the age gap but Shiki begs Tachibana to keep it a secret). And then Tachibana has to grapple with whether she should "save" Shiki from that relationship, and with whether she could actually do so if she tried, which causes her own feelings to come to the front. But if that's not the case, and we're meant to know that their relationship is entirely benign and platonic from the beginning, then where on Earth is this story going?

What was the point of building up all this tension around the relationship between Shiki and the nurse? Is it all just dramatic irony? Are we meant to go, "Oh that silly Tachibana, she's getting all worked up over this relationship she's imagining between Shiki and Haijima-sensei when there's really nothing going on. Ha ha ha! As soon as they talk about it, she'll feel like such a fool! Maybe that will make her reveal her crush?" Except, that isn't at all the direction chapter 10 seems to be leading, so what's up with that?? Shiki is acting like there IS something suspicious and concerning about their relationship. I'm so confused.

Yuni could have broken things off at any time, if she really felt so mistreated by Nanase. And if she did want to continue the relationship, she could have treated it seriously by actually communicating and not cheating. Instead she wanted to have it both ways, to the point that even Fuuko felt hurt by it, and then when Fuuko confronts her about it she's like, "No, I prefer this stupid farce of a relationship where I cheat on my girlfriend and everyone involved feels hurt." Now the whole thing is collapsing on her head and there's no one to blame but Yuni herself.

This is probably the stupidest series I read regularly. It's like junk food. It can't be healthy, but I can't stop consuming it.

She doesn't even think about getting a girlfriend. It is possible though! If she likes her own boobs, surely someone else might too. She just needs to realize her own worth, and put herself out there.

I like the concept here, and the character designs are cute, but it just isn't coming together into anything all that interesting. The characters feel pretty generic so far, though they might develop in a good direction. The action is bland and poorly choreographed. To begin with, I think it's hard to stay engaged with fights against mindless monsters. If the fight choreography were better it could maybe work, but the fights so far feel like they mean nothing and have no stakes. The only manga I've read that made this sort of thing work is Attack on Titan, where they used the story's willingness to regularly kill off characters or have the protagonists actually lose battles make the titan fights entertaining (plus the 3d maneuver gear was visually interesting in use and had interesting limitations, which so far this power system does not). Even then AoT got way more interesting once they introduced human foes, which this story will hopefully do too.

The yuri romance aspect is done better. There's some actual tension in Riri's relationship with Yuyu, and I liked their dynamic with the training thing. It still feels painfully generic. There are a lot of characters being introduced, but they're all characterized so shallowly. They need room to develop.

Overall, the pacing feels slow, and they're dumping a lot of exposition without giving us much reason to care about any of it.

Does the anime do any of this better? I want to like this story, but I don't know if I can.

I really like this one, but it should have a second part! I've seen this kind of thing before, they're supposed to dance around each other for a bit until Matsuri realizes she's hurting Koyuki and is forced to confront her feelings and then they kiss. Where is it!

I am here for this love triangle.

I didn't think just translating and posting a chapter here would raise such a storm.

Well, if I translated it, it's because I think it's really good at what it does.

And the reactions are proof of it. Better hate than indifference.

Thank you so much for the translations! I'm on the edge of my seat with each chapter and that MTL was just dog shit.

I haven't been reading shounen romcoms for some time and so I'm wondering: are aquarium dates as common in boy x girl stories as in yuri?

Or has the aquarium date become a defining staple of the yuri genre?

It would be funny if it had. In the future, when some girl who likes cute fishies tells to her friends that she wants to go to the aquarium, the others would go OH NO R U LEZ??? lol

Well, it happened in Chainsaw Man.

I like the art and concept, but it's hard for me to get much out of these kind of 4 page twitter comics. Everything just happens so abruptly, there's no tension.

Wait whoa, im probs going blind but... wheres chapter 8-15????

They're on mangadex. Unfortunately it's only a shitty machine translation though.

Nanase is a good girl, but a terrible girlfriend, She has her priorities all over the place. And its not just the fact that she puts the club above everything else, but she's also quick to turn her back to Yuni for anything. She will leave her in the middle of a conversation if someone from her club calls her. She constantly keeps her at an arm's distance "so they won't find out we're dating", but acts way closer with her other friends, and isn't bothered by skinship, except when it's with Yuni. She doesn't act like a girlfriend, she barely acts like a friend with her lol.

Fuuko is a witch who decided to take advantage of a girl in a clearly vulnerable emotional state, by purposely being everything her girlfriend isn't. She's smart and cunning as hell, she knows what Yuni isn't getting from Nanase and is quick to provide it to fill that void. Her intention from the beginning was to destroy a relationship that she knew was falling apart (from reading twitter), to "save" Hinayu from her oh so very bad girlfriend she always tweeted about. Her goal was to steal Yuni for herself all along.

Yuni is an absolute cunt. Her feelings about Nanase are 100% justified for the most part, but she takes action in the worst possible ways. It's okay to be angry if yout gf stood you up to go play volleyball, it's fine to be upset if she runs away every time she's called by someone else, it's completely understandable to be jealous if she acts close to everyone except you. But god damn she can't help being the absolute worst person in this manga. The kiss and piercing in the manga cafe can be blamed on Fuuko for playing the right cards to manipulate a vulnerable heartbroken girl, but everything after the manga cafe has been her fault and only hers. No money for the train to osaka? She could ask her parents, but compensated dating seems to be a better option in her eyes (because she wanted to date Fuuko). She's in a hotel with Fuuko? She told her to go sleep, but Yuni still went out of her way to have sex with her even after being rejected once. Fuuko didn't do anything this time lol. Nanase's friend confronted her? It was the perfect time for some reflection on her actions, but she went full denial mode and got violent because she didn't want to hear the truth.
She's only been taking advantage of Fuuko as a source of comfort and sex and taking advantage of Nanase as her "girlfriend" but can't be assed to choose one or the other, so she decides to just hurt both at the same time.

God damn I cant wait to see how her life is ruined from here on

Great comment. Both Nanase and Fuuko deserve better than Yuni. Hope she ends up alone.

Love to see One Piece on here. Please post more!

I really liked chapter 15, even with the MTL. I especially liked the part where Yuni gets mad at social media. Some of it was just people online being mean, but the comments about "it's your fault" and "why don't you just break up with her" were spitting facts. She just didn't want to hear it. She's a very selfish, emotion-driven person with no willpower or ability to commit to anything. And when something challenges her emotionally, she just runs away. In that context, I think it's a good thing that Fuuko has been acting so confrontational lately. Yuni had two perfectly viable options: She could've stopped cheating on Nanase and tried to improve that relationship, or she could've stopped half-assing her affections for Fuuko and dumped Nanase. But she couldn't do either, and now she's in this situation. Fuuko might be a manipulative, sexual harassing bitch, but she's 100% in the right to lay things out in the open like this. And she's right to feel hurt by the fact that Yuni wants to fuck her and use her as an emotional crutch but won't break up with her girlfriend for her.

What Yuni has been doing is also obviously cruel to Nanase. Nanase can be an incredibly inconsiderate girlfriend, but at a basic level, she's right that it isn't wrong to love her club and her friends AND her girlfriend. Yuni is too much of a coward to seriously try to fix anything anyway. Like with the volleyball thing. It's inconsiderate to expect Yuni to go see you on her own dime without even getting to spend time with you, but Yuni doesn't even think to say that, she just goes "okay" and then uses it as a convenient excuse to cheat while blaming Nanase, because as much as it's self-destructive and painful to her, she LIKES having her cake and eating it too. A proper girlfriend would've said something like: "I'll go if you promise to find a way to spend time with me and you help me pay for it."

If Yuni ends up with nothing but a lesson about the importance of commitment, Fuuko moves on, and Nanase starts dating her best friend, I would consider that a good ending.

I'm reading the other translation rn and it's pretty shit.

Also as someone who is a Fate fan I can tell you Fate/Kaleid gets a TON of hate on social media.

I can confirm this because I am one of the haters. The REAL Illya is 18 years old and evil. I will never acknowledge Fate/Kaleid.

We're only getting half the story here. This doesn't explain Lord's feelings.

I don't know, that ice pick confession was pretty convincing.... Who wouldn't fall for her?

Trotsky, probably.

You could do smutty magic BDSM with older characters, but this specific story pretty much requires them to be teens. Like, even ignoring that magical girl convention is for characters to be in middle school, the story is about their sexual awakening. Which happens in the early teens

It's specifically a BDSM sexual awakening though. I didn't realize I was into that stuff until I was like 20. Utena would work just as well as an 18 year old late-blooming high school senior, and I think the magical girls would work fine as people who are aware of their sexuality but never considered that they might enjoy being dommed by an evil villain. It WOULD go against magical girl conventions, but not so much so that you couldn't get away with just lampshading it and moving on—they'd still be school girls after all.

Yeah it looks like there's gonna be an anime. There's no way it isn't massively toned down, though. Honestly I have a hard time believing it will hold a candle to the manga. Too many people would whinge about it. Still, I guess we'll see.

Pretty certain people on social media will take issue with the series regardless. The main character is an outlandish sadist villain and that's not going to go over well. I'm just gonna do my best to keep my head down and avoid the drama the best I can..

You forget the biggest "problem". Most of the cast are suposs to be middle schoolers.

I'm not sure why problem is in quotes here. It is a problem. Like, I enjoy reading this, but I would never recommend this even to people that I know like manga. It's just a lot, and I don't think it's unreasonable to give this the side-eye. Plus, the Netflix Cuties controversy wasn't that long ago. The BDSM stuff is whatever, the ages of the characters feels like not only a huge barrier to entry, but a huge problem if this gets more widely known.

Yeah, I think most people who aren't huge perverts would be bothered by this. I personally would prefer if they were 18. From my own perspective, I know that I'm not attracted to middle schoolers, and that manga ≠ real life, but from an outside perspective, I'm someone who enthusiastically enjoys a manga about middle schoolers being molested.

I expect that people will make a lot of noise about this (as they did with the aforementioned Interspecies Reviewers and Redo of a Healer) but that not much will come of it. Us perverts will continue to quietly enjoy it while never discussing it with anyone we know irl and ignoring the circular arguments that will happen on twitter. All will be right with the world.

About the chapter itself: I like it. I think next chapter will involve Enormeeta sexually tormenting Berserga until Michika teams up with the magical girls and defeats them (right before Berserga's execution). Baiser will enjoy this because a bad guy joining the magical girls out of love is the exact sort of thing she's into.

Betray her!

I love this kinda stuff that expands on the little stories in yugioh card art. Now if only I still played and knew these characters beforehand...

"Uweh" has to be one of my top 3 anime girl noises.

I wanted to read more of the watanare light novel, but when I went to the blog, it was private. Does anyone know what happened? Is anyone continuing the translation? Is there another place where I can read the light novel?
