People take this too seriously. Isn't the gimmick of this story (and comedic part) basically the less direct the MC is the further away from the goal she gets? This'll end with either a "Yuzu knew all along" or she'll just tell Yuzu directly without any BS attached and the girl will accept her just like that.

That being said, can we get a side-story about Tsubasa and Kosame (The "military" girl and the girl with a weak heart)? Because that does sound pretty sweet. Princess and her knight.

I came here after reading the first chapter of the "Summer, Lemon, and Overlay" manga. And I have to say I loved it. My only complaint was that the neighbor lady didn't get a chance to reunite with her delivery girl.

It's not really about death, is it? Like in a literal sense I mean. Because the first page shows both of them at a funeral (I assume) and alive.

I... I guess they got me. I have to see where this is heading.

So is this like that self-fulfilling prophecy? You don't do something (or do something) to avoid a specific thing from happening ... And because of that, it happens.

I mean Mitsuki is being a bit of garbo in this situation. It's not like she's not aware of Aya's affection towards her "guy" side. So what was the plan to just lead her along till a situation like this would happen anyway in the future? Where it comes out by accident. More than disappointing the other girl seems like someone was being a coward.

Buuut it's fine. As in, I dig it, cause it is a somewhat unique situation, and while it pictures (at least for me) Mitsuki in a bit of bad light, I can understand it. She better make up for it and Aya better not just accept some bs and go with it as if nothing bad ever happened.

"I will give you my all, pretty baby
I'll come whenever you call for me, lady, yeah
I will give you the best of me
The best of me
The best of me"

Uda better get her girl. And if this Uda arc won't get messed up in some way, this will make this manga one of the best

So will it take the whole city to throw a parade for them to get the subtle hint I wonder? But to be honest I'm fine with them fumbling around like that. It's cute.

Neat, another fun chapter.

Friends for now, but we all know where this is heading. That's right, into the book buddies territory.

I know it might sound like heresy, considering how many people always complain about stories that stop before getting anywhere, but I do enjoy these kinds of things. Sometimes it just doesn't have to end up with anything definitive. But just sometimes. Not always.

All this time I thought Kristen was a liberi for some reason ...

Also, I like that question mark at the end. It's like "Why you surprised, we're roommates"

Those extras are super cute. When the wackiness is toned down like this it's easier to enjoy all this pure goodness

Finally gave this a try and I gotta say this is a very fun manga to follow, but at the same time, it's very frustrating. The sudden appearance of the villainous duo didn't help with that and completely shifted the premise of the whole deal, and I won't lie, I don't much like it.

I thought it would be about becoming a better person or some corny stuff like that with the "seeing death" part being both the pull-in as well as the "igniter" for all that to happen.
I don't mind the over-the-top reasoning for the prez duo to be the way they are, as someone mentioned a few times, this manga is pretty bonkers in its own way, so it's fitting. I also understand why such character(s) exists in a story like this. To show a "what if" scenario, a mirrored version of what you could do with such stuff. I'm not sure how seeing dead bodies help you kill people and get away with it but... I mean, sure.

The issue I have with it is that it stuck for too long and it seems like it's becoming some kind of an ongoing thing. Like the manga shifts towards some odd death-note territory. And if that's the goal here to change into that kind of thing, no amount of cute moments between Satsuki and Akira will save it.

I mean licking the same lollipop? They're basically married now.

This seems like a fun series to come, I'll stick around for it.

Finally, those two got here. The highlight of the entire Kazimierz arc

Aw, it's over. It was such a lovely, short story. Short or not, it was still amazing

And here we have the moment this series turns meh for me. Well, it still "depends" but I'll play the glass half-empty card. So far, this series was a very smooth, albeit visible progression between the two. The progress itself was based on relatable things and they solved it somehow by themselves (with some input from family or friends obviously).

I don't know, it just felt refreshing to have a series with a bit of more smooth sailing towards the progress, but not without some dark clouds here and there. I'd hate to drop this after so long just because of that. Or have to skip bigger chunks of it just to avoid rolling my eyes out of their sockets.

Unless it won't be permanent (or even semi-permanent) or something actually happened to Rio and we'll get a side character progression. Even if I frankly don't care much for her.

I thought this manga was purposely all about abusing overplayed tropes

I've been so far with this manga and yet I still have no idea what this manga is about...

That reading books is gay and we all should do it more

Darn, the whole Rhine Lab thing just got finished translating and it was such a wild emotional ride. While I avoided this ship in the past, it made me reconsider.

Can those two have something nice happen to them? And I mean something actually nice. Sure, some good stuff happens from time to time, but it always feels like a ray of sunshine after a tornado storm or something. They deserve it after everything. I know the date will end up the same way and it'll get saved in some way later on, but... Just... Something from start to end that would work out.

Can't wait for the whole Rhine Lab comic to get translated to read it in one go.

Edgy donkey or overcompensating (for thin tail) crocodile? Hm... Tough choice. Guess I'll stick with my Light infused knight pegasi and her amazing family.

No, but really, jokes aside, this is an amazing piece. One of the few solid pairs/"ships" in Arknights

Eh, this is an okay ending. Could be a bit more fleshed out, but it's fine as it is.
