Not surprising that a show like this would have two kinds of audience. Personally, I’m on the side that wants the gays to get girlfriends, not gravestones~

Wait, does that sentence make sense when they don't get gravestones in the first place ? Nevermind.

Back in my days we had the Pokégear that filled all those important functions we needed and didn't have no Pokémon inside, I tell you.

Then again... I mean, maybe this Rotom is just part of the family ?

Read someone say about this series "it's the kind of story where you want fewer gay girls, because they'll just end up as gay corpses" which made me laugh but also made me stay away from it.

Although I'm pretty sure that it was under a clip of those two that tempted me to watch it in the first place, so...

That's a smart bird, handled things like a champ. It's wingwomanship judo, turning an accidental surprise leak around to make this a blushing moment instead.

Michi's mom ?! It feels like someone just walking in the middle of a game of Cluedo. Because Ange's reflection being a long, black-haired woman on page 15 followed by the manifestation on page 20 suggest she might be the one haunting DeLphi.

It does tie to the speculation that 5-chan couldn't be the culprit because then, who would have killed her. And Michi's past link to DeLphi through Honami might link them all together, but... so far it feels like everything is connected, but those connections are made of very thin wires.

On another note, definitely rooting for NonTear now.

I think new addition has some potential, especially because she's interested in Shun. She always felt kinda of alone and disconnected, in contrast to Natsuki who has a lot of contact. So it feels like an opportunity for character growth on her side.

It's also an interesting twist to have a love rival who's aware of the relationship, although of course she's not going to have a lot of friends among the readers with a move like that. But yeah, for me, that's the kind of character with vibes that say "she needs a hug, and someone to show her a better path to follow in life".

Wait what.

Eko deciding to kill everyone isn't a surprise. The question is how ?! How did she overpower an entire group ? Well, I guess the people in the last panel don't match the group member so she probably let zombies in, but... I'm still curious how everything unfolded.

Hmm... the antagonist seems to have very peculiar intentions... enemy to friends possibility, maybe ?

Wholesome to see Alexandra helping Diana get closer to Natori, just not in a romantic way. Instead pushing her towards getting close in a way that actually works for both of them.

And of course, she does that while staying close to Diana.

Those friends are a supremely focused and well trained gang of wing women and I respect their craft.

Two out of three are that. Hinata is just Hinata.

Poor Hoshino-chan can't keep up with her. It feels like Hatori and Hirose now have two kids to take care of while Sakura and Takamine are spending time together.

I'm torn because this chapter was pretty fun, it was cool to see the new girl and even Ruruna finding Wakana crazy... But it could also spell the start of a harem shift. But it gives me hope that it won't based on Yura's reaction, so I'm really torn.

Please don't do that crap, please don't make me have started this story on a mistagging... This has a lot of potential if it doesn't...

Just want to say that I'm happy Youyan knows she was wrong. Unlike what some readers seem to believe, when she thought Jing Xiu had left her hanging, she didn't blame her or thought she was wrong. She was pained, but she understood the reasons and bore with the same pain she had caused before. And she has no resentment, which wouldn't have been justified.

That her staying awake is plainly confirmed to mean not "I hope she'll come back tonight" (a hope she didn't have) but "I'll accept your judgement and show my willingness to atone", her desire to bear with that and show she had changed and deserved another chance ? I think that's exactly what makes her deserve that chance.

Oh, you little gremlin... Nicely done, nicely done. Finally caught your girlfriend for good, so you're helping Ming Wei with hers now, isn't it ?

Yeah, I ship it, them arguing with each other was peak
☆*:.。. o(≧▽≦)o .。.:*☆

Same, they're just incredible together. Natori and Lapis tend to act meek, hide things. On the other hand, Diana and Alexandra are blunt, in different ways, and seeing them clash with each other ? I'm in love. Not just Alexandra either - Diana shines more brightly exactly in this kinda of dynamic, when she's calling things out as she sees them. And that reaches Alexandra, to have someone, for once, talk to her straight !

Besides, those two hooking up could have marvelous implications for the story, building up the "Diana got closer to the noble faction than in the original story" that was already in motion, while tying her to someone who doesn't give me chills like Rubeus does. Especially if the two of them end up supporting Lapis together, as noble and commoner. That could be fantastic.

Yanagi went in with a plan and... well, she achieved her objectives, in the most chaotic way possible.

Now I'm looking forward to the "confession" that Momo will not doubt want to set up.

"I've no idea what's going through Komaki's mind."

Girl, you don't even have the first idea about what's going through your own. You two make quite the pair.

Aww yiss. Jing Xiu couldn't let her feel the loneliness, in the end. And how could she ? She knows the feeling, herself. Even if it would make a point, when you know something's painful, it's hard to want to inflict it upon someone you like.

And yes, I also did approve of her staying back in a previous comment. I think both options were right, but I'm happy out of the two, she chose the one that's happier.

Aww yiss, finally. Now I can enjoy this series without a sick knot in my stomach... and look forward to Ruruna being bullied with love and affection as a punishment for her chuuni ways.

Yeah, that's what saddens me too. This is cute, but all other works of this author I have come across are —in my opinion— badly-written harem series. That's why I don't have hopes for this and I have decided to just enjoy it for as long as I get to.

I'm... gonna just hope it doesn't go that route. Doesn't seem it has to, so far. But yes, with the cover and title I wouldn't be very surprised if I end up dropping this, and I definitely won't recommend it unless I'm sure it doesn't turn into a harem down the road.

Somehow with how head over heels Ming Wei is (and how straightforward Tantai Lan), I have a good feeling it won't take that long for them to end up together.

having a gay kid is still a huge social burden the parents have to share with the child

If you think being gay is equal to being a burden, what are you even doing on this site ? Seriously, fuck off. Calling gay children a burden is literal homophobia and should not be accepted in a safe space such as here.

One counter-argument that Tongtong's mom could have brought to being shown all the homophobic comments would be: Whose comments would be more important to Luxi: some rando's on the internet or her own mother's? If her own mother supported her, would she even care about who else says what about her? With that in mind, what is the best way for Luxi's mom to protect her?

To be fair I don't think it would be sufficient. Luxi's mom pointed those comments as example but she's more scared of the people around her daughter (and herself) making the same comments, which isn't completely wrong.

But your point remains valid (her mother's own word would weight more), and in addition, people are less likely to be outright intolerant directly in front of someone than online (although it still happens). The most important argument, of course, remains that no amount of toxic comments, either online or among old crones, is going to make Luxi suddenly stop being gay and that her mother should encourage her to live her life as happily as she can, in spite of those people.

Explaining things is not the same as justifying them. Don't shut down trying to understand people.

Understanding why someone thinks the way they think is essential to know how to confront them.

You two re-read their comment. It has no focus on understanding to confront. The comment is saying that accepting your son or daughter is gay is not easy. That you must accept and placate bigoted relatives to protect your relationship, even if that means throwing your child under the bus for them. That those people are under pressure.

This is the logic that says "yes, this person hurt you by being bigoted / violent / ..., but they've it hard to" and leaves queer children with no support and the feeling that they are the one out of place, they are the one being a burden of their parent and making their life miserable by being queer. It's disgusting.

I could write paragraphs of why bullies, nazis, fascists believe what they believe. But it that doesn't come with a clear condemnation and explanation of why I think explaining such beliefs is important, you would and should see it as support and despise me. If all you're doing is explaining someone's behavior in a "yes they're hurting people out of bigotry, but please understand" and you don't use that to prove a point of how to improve the lives of people who suffer from such behavior, you're supporting them.

Edit : Not saying this was the intention of the poster above but you've gotta be careful. Showing off you analytical skills by explaining and rationalizing such behavior is going to support the people doing it and put the victims of it in an uncomfortable position even if that wasn't your intention.

Don't be silly, Tongtong's mom is going to dashingly save her from falling and we'll start the mom yuri arc.

Nu-huh, she clearly fell. She's probably hurt. She'll need someone to help her with groceries and such, but her relationship with her daughter is quite strained. Who could possibly fill that role of being very close to her for a few weeks ?!

Discounting the generational trauma and the fact that Luxi's mom is actually homophobic, it's not simple to just "acccept" a gay daughter/son. [Rest omitted]

Stop. You don't need, you should not search for excuses or explanations of people being intolerant and homophobic. That behavior hurts people, hasn't a lick of moral grounds, and is not, in any way, justified. I saw dozens of people doing the same thing in the comments of Do You Like Tomboys on Webtoons (although that story, not just its commenters, also embraced that "he's not evil, just thinking of other people's reactions, he's a good person" angle, unlike here where Luxi's mom is not given excuse, the story just shows her reaction as an homophobic one). I'm surprised how common this kind of "but they have a reason" reaction is.

If I punch someone gratuitously, are you going to analyze the circumstances, my motivations, and present to others an explanation of why, even though you don't agree with it, I have my own reasons to assault someone ? I hope not. No one should explain away violence, because there is no possible explanation that would be valid for it. That is true whether that violence is physical or otherwise.

Don't spend your efforts to find excuses or explanations for people being homophobic. Hold them accountable instead.
