I remember this one. Although I never saw that author's note. They did a good job and should be rewarded with all the compliments.

With everything right now, I'm that much more hoping for Mostima alter...

As entertaining as it is I wouldn't be surprised If there was a creepypasta based on this manga.

Sadly, Watanabe wasn't Cinderella, and for that I feel I was robbed of something beautiful, but at least I got a dance scene, so it evens out.

So far I haven't cared for the other yuri couples because they feel a little bland, but I was really itnerested in whatever three-way relationship the president has with Akira and Imouto-chan. I hope we get a little more of them three together.

And as for Yoshioka and Watanabe, I can't say I'm super invested in them getting together, but I'm laughing a lot at the way their relationship is progressing. From Yoshioka's POV, Watanabe is a possesive and jealous girl who is super upset at the mere indication that Yoshioka is going to spend time with another girl... and she still fell for her!

From Watanabe's side, she'll just keep preventing Yoshioka from being yuri with another girl until she wakes up ten years later living together with Yoshioka in what everyone else perceives as a stable relationship.

I think Yoshioka is just worried about Watanabe. At least "for now". I'll read too much into the character and say that, considering how she handled her step sister's business, as well as how she deals with Watanabe, she just wants to "please" other people. Watanabe wants someone to do that yuri thing? Sure, doesn't seem like it would do some harm. I mean, considering how purposely cliche this story is, I don't think Yoshioka acts like she exactly fell for the other girl.

I think my main issue was how awful Watanabe has treated Yoshioka. Be it in her thoughts or not. Meanwhile, Yoshioka turned out to be this nice girl, a great sister, and overall a good person. All because she didn't fit with the narrative inside Watanabe's head. Now doesn't that sound familiar huh? Now I'm not sure if it's a clever setup or not, but if it was, bravo.

Regardless, this chapter was a nice step in the right direction. I just want to like Watanabe. I already like Yoshioka. Let me like the other protag.

So what are the chances of someone from Hino's past appearing to give us some backstory type of deal situation? Or are we betting on Koguma stumbling upon something by accident or an even more crazy idea, Hino being honest?

So was this the author wanting to draw a school yuri thing but also cute girls with animal ears and someone suggested "Why not both" and here we are?

I'm not complaining. This was cute

So three... Theories? Questions? Thoughts?

First, is that it was Hino's convoluted way of answering Koguma's question. Because Koguma (I assume second-guessing her own question) says that she had to be imagining things when she asked if Hino tried to kiss her. So Hino kisses Koguma (on the cheek) and says she imagined it, admitting to it.

The second is that it was just a weird way of saying "I'm not ready to fully dip my feet into this pool" by Hino. As in not ready to advance their relationship.

Third, the usual, is that it means nothing and was just meant to be a cute scene between two cute dolts.

Whatever it is, I wonder if we're just going back to the usual school shenanigans, since this was supposed to be the "last event" of the summer break.

I mean Watanabe being as she is either for comedic value or her being that way as the core premise of this series is fine and all, but everything else is built in a way, that reflects poorly on the girl. Unless I am to dislike her for now. But even then, if I do, I'm not too eager to root for her and Yoshiokay, which seems to be the end goal here.

There was one moment where it seemed like she would start looking at our Gyaru girl from a better light, with the sister stuff, but it just... It happened and was forgotten. Frustrating, especially since I really want to like this.

...Was that gay panic from Maho?

This was cute. Although it was a bit messy.

The only thing that Watanabe does is sour the mood of this story. It wasn't as obvious at the start, at least till we got a side-by-side comparison of the two, especially after the Gyaru girl got her chance to shine.

Okay but that face on the last page. Come on. What am I supposed to feel, because it's hard to worry about these two if I see stuff like that.

Different and interesting. Definitely entertaining. Although I think it worked because it was short

So Kuori and Uda huh... I mean, it can be a mature move. Wanting to move on with your life, as well as appreciate the affection of someone else. Trying to be happy, instead of dwelling within a hole of constant torment. Sure, it can create a difficult situation, but well... Life or even love alone isn't usually a simple matter. Of course, it all depends on how it's played out in the story, but it's a nice angle I started appreciating a bit more.
Makes me think of that "Useless princesses" and that side pair it cooked.

That aside, I was really impressed when the manga just outright confronted Nagisa about just dating Mashiro. To be fair it did set up this situation quite nicely, now that I think about it. Having a fellow, sadly less fortunate yet more experienced, gaygal approach one of the main characters about their love life in a straightforward manner, but without it being pushy. Just enough to make her think.

I'm rambling, so I'll stop here. Great chapter as always. This entire manga really turned out to be a fun and wholesome read.

Cute as ever. Also glad that the phone call wasn't anything extremely terrible.

It was a... Surprisingly heavy read. While I enjoyed it for what it was, I wish there was a bit of a more... Clear ending. Just to wash away that odd feeling. While I usually enjoy open ending stuff, for once I wouldn't mind washing a story down with a bit more definitive and sweet ending.

This pacing... It's like a 90s commercial for a toy aimed at boys...

But hey, I'm game for now. Let's see where this takes us.

This was a nice read, although it had a few leaps. While I could fill in the gaps with some speculations, the story itself didn't really help with that.

I both love it and hate it ;_; Whenever there's a picture of Talulah carrying Alina...
At least give us Talulah as an operator already, damn it!

Say, I noticed one thing about the last chapter that, unless someone corrects me, really underlines for me a certain "trying too hard" going on. That is, didn't the MC stop being able to see the love arrows after she fell in love? But now, after the time skip, just to reassure us that the triangle/poly is off and there's really no hard or lingering feelings, suddenly she can see the other love interest's lotsa-little-arrows-but-none-really-pointing-at-the-MC.

So, why can she see that, aside from it being convenient for beating us over the head with "It's cool, no lost love to see here"? Did the ability come back and I missed it, or something?

I think it was a "cheeky" way to show that she's belowed. One panel might be "from the past" where she still saw it. Others are just that I think, a cheeky way to "show" it.
