I enjoy reading this series.
But I won't lie this twin sister plot twist (It's like some super move from a fighting game or smthing) was so dumb. Also, I always had issues with this manga having characters that weren't the main girls who were hard to really follow or identify. When they introduced one of the twins I thought "oh she kinda stands out I think I'll be able to remember her" only for the manga to tell me there are two of them. Both look identical.

As for the talk about issues and such, I think this manga has an identity problem. It doesn't really know what it wants to be.

But again, I enjoy reading this. Although I'll be blunt that if I had to pay for this, I'd easily and without regrets tap out.

I can't get mad at Watanabe for this one. She wasn't consciously converting Yoshioka to the yuri side... And to fall for her. Although once she learns, she better takes responsibility. Still couldn't help but feel bad for Yoshioka at the end there.

I won't lie, but I have a hard time following the background characters. I call them NPCs because as much as I try, I can never really follow who was who, and I admit to being a bit too lazy to try and re-read previous chapters to get the context.

After this chapter I involuntarily muttered "Wow, that's gay." and then I went "Oooh..." as realization hit.

Stupid jokes aside, I love this. This isn't as much as trying to parody sentai stuff, it outright became a yuri sentai.

There's a lot of uncomfortable energy in this one, as both of them are using one another to just fill in an empty gap in their lives. Not a very healthy thing to do. So as long as this is one of those "We improve on ourselves" types of stories, I'm game to see where and how it goes.

Only the imouto would be kind of bad, because she's looking for a replacement but there's absolutely nothing wrong with looking for love when you're lonely.

"Not like this" would be my response. Meguru has a clear issue and is using x as a stand-in for her sister. Hayafuji on the other hand has fallen into a typical consumerism trap and is desperately trying to fill in the void in her life.

With Meguru, it's clear where the issue is, although I wouldn't call it "bad" as in malicious. If anything, it's a bit troubling just how professionally she approaches this kind of deal. Hayafuji on the other hand seems to notice things and even sees how "wrong" it is to be paid, but she accepts it regardless, deciding that filling in that happiness meter is more important than questioning and trying to find a solution for this situation.

Now I'll say it again, with the way those two are presented, minor issues aside, I wouldn't call either of them malicious. Hence why this is hopefully one of those "with the power of love we notice our flaws and better ourselves" type of stories. This is barely the second chapter, and we're just presented with those two.

Not all dramas are just there to prolong the plot. This was something set up from the start, as both a motivation for Nagisa to even look in the direction of Mashiro, as well as later an emotional bomb those two dorks needed to move forward with their relationship. Meanwhile, while we moved between those two points, we gained new plotlines, motivations, characters, and all sorts of goodies we can explore.
Of course, I can't say for how long this series will go on and if it'll explore more of those two, but it served as a hell of a prologue for the entire series as well as a good start for their relationship, in which I hope we will follow those two (and everyone around them of course) for a bit longer.

Now that I got that out of my system, I'll say it again. Those two are such dorks. And I love 'em for it.

It's like those chapters/bonus/special thingies were made to fill in all those gaps of obvious signs that those two are basically married since high school.

Alright, I'm convinced. When can we expect a full series?

I think that "lore" dump wasn't necessary. I mean this whole chapter up until that confession scene convinced me that those two were super close. It wasn't a bad thing, since I already believed those two were close.

Anyway, I thought it was already cute and worth following, and then I saw not just their height difference but outright "size" difference and I screamed. I mean, that page 11 shows just how smol Yuzu is compared to Minami. And I'm all for it.

Ooh neat, I remember this! Can't wait to see where it goes, now that it got its own cereal.

Two girls be in love. Third girl appear. Everyone be like "Whoa, a poly scenario in sight!". I would get it if people were just joking around and stuff, but there were so many obviously mono-mangas where people "Felt betrayed" and stuff that it's really... Why set yourself up for disappointment like this.

Oh well, I'm glad that the characters got a little "reality check" as it really seemed very "dream-like" perfect for the longest time. Of course, I root for them and hope that they find happiness, but that little bit of reality sinking in was needed.

Wasn't her CN name "Trumpet" and they changed it for Global? I remember something about that

I agree, Horn would be a complete bottom.

I mean ships aside, I think it's adorable that Lancet is playing ball with the kids

I love this series, I'm glad it got updated. It's just so warm and silly.

What a lame chapter. I'm not saying that any of those things introduced in this chapter are lame in themselves, just the way they're presented. "Oh and by the way this totally evil-looking teacher that turned out to be cooler than he looks has this tragic thing that happened to him" a few pages later we learn about this sister we never ever heard about and she's already antagonistic to one of the protagonists. As I said, I'm fine with all of this, just the way it's presented is... Oof...

On one side, it's a bit too realistic for me to embrace how ridiculous it is. On the other, it's too ridiculous for me to take it seriously... I mean, it just went so quickly from zero to one hundred... I think it's one of those series that would be better off starting somewhere in the middle and just slowly explaining "How did we get here".

Oh well, it was enjoyable to read and I'll keep an eye on this one. It has the potential to either become something nice or horrible very quickly.

Sweet

I'm fine with this. I'll read this as Koguma taking the reins of this situation, be it fully on purpose or by accident.

Will it be Omi that will end their little dance? I'd wish, cause she was always portrayed as a bit of an airhead. So with "even" her realizing it and just outright telling them to face it, it would be a neat treat. We also need a fourth girl so we can start pairing her with Omi.

I mean it's just the motivation behind her choice. Booking stuff to celebrate doesn't really sound like a very honest attempt at a search. Hence why I was wondering if we just forgot that part of the story and we're just following Asumi the heart-conquerer.

Hey, as I said, I'm fine both ways. This is incredibly sexy manga, even without any actual sex involved, so I'm game no matter what happens. I also enjoy any lady Asumi stumbles upon more than whatever her face was... The friend girl person of the forbidden past.

(I might be a little bit facetious with this and my last post. To some extent I get what the story is trying to do right now.)

Huh, so we're going somewhere with this plot. I'm not complaining if it went one or the other, I was just wondering if it would turn out to be a very slice-of-life type of manga with random youkai/monster girls jumping in to ignite jellyness from our favorite gyaru oni with plot jumping in from time to time to remind us that, in fact, we were doing something.

So uh... We're no longer trying to find that girl? That friend or whatever that's apparently working as a prostitute? I'd be fine if she settled for Nanao tbh. I mean seeing Asumi use her experience as a sub to dom/lead another sub is adorable as hell.

Whoa, an update of that silly manga about a ghost sexually harassing that one exorcist girl. Well, I could use a little silly pick me up today! ...
...
Oh... Well... That... That wasn't silly at all.

But in all seriousness, I like this inclusion of a serious... Plot progress? Well, character development for sure. I too think that it might be a possibility that Meguru (The girl from her past) will be in some way an end goal for this story. I'd at least hope it will. Ghost yuri (or any kind of ghost romance) always has that underlying feeling of tragedy and/or passing. It's a bit like having the same thing with some immortal or long-living creatures. I don't mind them, it's just that sour aftertaste that some of them leave.

Also, this chapter reminded me of Kindred Spirit on the Roof. And how messed up it would get if it went a bit more towards the horror side of things.

That's one of the sweetest things I have read in a long while...

And the ball is out of the park... Maybe. I'm not sure, I'm not from parts of the world where they play baseball.

I can get behind this. I mean, Watanabe seems to have two friends. One is Fujiyama and the other is Yoshioka. With the latter being a bit more proactive when it comes to supporting Watanabe's... Uh... Hobby. She FINALLY treats (tries to at least) Fujiyama like a person and a friend and wants to do something for her.

At the same time, she got so used to Yoshioka just being there, that the idea of someone taking that away felt a bit bad. Sure, it's a bit over the top, but I'm fine with it. This is, after all, that kind of manga.

All of this was what I wanted. I wanted Watanabe to become a bit more like an actual human being, and less like a walking meme.
