lol when i first read that i was like ugh again? also, but i think it's really only been done in one other manga.

There's definitely more like this around. Okusama wa Mahou Shoujo has that exact theme as well, although it's het shit (shit because it's shit, not because it's het ^^).

Anyway, I think we can safely assume that the restriction doesn't apply if it's Super Special Chosen Soul Mate Lovers. Which the protagonists obviously are.

If she actually found something it'd be interesting. I suppose the reason why Honda didn't come to school would count, so maybe it's brought up again, but I doubt she'd be willing to go through with it ...

Yeah. Not sure the date entirely adds up but I kinda always assumed she was in a sexual relationship with a teacher, and then the whole "avoid a scandal by blaming the girl" thing happened ...

One question- is this the usual in this situation, of not that she can NOT talk for physical reasons, like vocal cords destroyed by illness etc - but that she can't talk for mental/emotional issues she may overcome?

That's my read of this is as well. Really only because that's how it's usually set up, and the story so far isn't very specific of why she can't talk.

We'll see. It's cute so far either way.

"But we are both girls..."

The longer this scam lasts, the harder it will be when it all blows up.

If the plot actually went there, it'd probably be interesting. But we're all sitting here, knowing that at worst there'll be a chapter of insecurity or so. That's why this drama is annoying; it'll never go anywhere. It's just a gimmick.

Before that, they'll definitely need to have a bath / shower.

If this trend of excessive "love" faces continues like that, we'll soon get ahegoa-faces in ordinary romances every time somebody does something vaguely romantic.

... at least it'd be hilarious.

^ it's clearly alt. history/fantasy; the moment you pretend that witches are real. Therefore we can't really know how technology or history developed.
I'd say though that it (for completely random reasons) it gives of a early 20th century vibe to me. So if the witches developed a nuke spell (for example) I could see them essentially taking the entire world hostage. Maybe leveraging it against churches or whoever their declared enemy is.

But I agree that it's all a bit dubious. My personal suspicion is that as usual the author doesn't give a fuck about anything beyond an excuse to tell yet-another-romance story, and that the entire setting is merely there to fulfill the "forbidden love" trope.
I'd love to be wrong. But I'm not. \o/

Not to mention that the Cafeteria name is in Italian so what give ?

Mensa? In this case, it's a Latin loan word, due to the academic language in Germany being Latin for centuries (well, obviously). It's a leftover from that time.

It's actually pretty solid research, since anywhere else it'd be called, well, "Cafeteria" or "Kantine" or somesuch.

Maybe the magic has other side-effects like causing euphoria or something?

It instantly makes everyone pregnant, it being life magic or somesuch.

(and "Lichtl" can be a diminutiv in some German dialects, although I don't know why they'd pick that up ...)

You know that the author is Japanese right ?

I've seen Japanese authors forgo honorifics when writing about fantasy Western societies; for example in 男装お嬢様の冒険適齢期. They weren't super consistent with it and of course words like "sensei" can't just be ignored, but it was an interesting idea, I felt.

Otherwise I can already tell that this plot is going to piss me off. So the naive and innocent Japanese girl convinces the badass girl that vengeance is baaad, bla bla. Blergh.

Great chapter.

I hope a first year finds out about the teacher deal and blackmails the teacher into dating in secret

Then another sensei finds out about the teacher dating that first year so she blackmails the female principal into dating her to avoid a scandal. Then a parent finds out that the principal is dating a teacher, so she blackmails ...

Well, neither case is actual blackmail. Blackmail is "do X or I'll do Y!" (ie out you as gay, not write a recommendation for you, give a crappy grades, ...). Both are cases of bribery. "Do X and I'll do Y for you!" (get her to come to school and you get a recommendation; get yuri with me and I'll come to school for you).

Feels way too random and forced. Author should have taken a look at Hina-san or something on how to set something like this up naturally ..

You lost me there... how do we know Nikaidou's family owns that "Purgatory Publishing" company? It was mentioned before? Is Tadokoro trying to take advantage of her connections with the Nikaidou family (dating the heiress, no less) to get published?

Just a yoke. We assume something's going on with Nikaidou's family from their sleepover, so it seemed plausible enough. ^^

"Let's leave aside the relationship of those for now and ..." Let's not x_x

So Nikaidou is actually a princess from hell, which is why her family owns stuff like "Purgatory Publishing". And she'll sentence that editor to suffer eternally.

Well, they did say it was very complicated. How can you feel that that's insufficient explanation?!

... frankly I find it at least a step better than just going "lamias are snakes and therefore coldblooded", even when they clearly have a human body (as they always do in those trashy mangas). That doesn't make any more sense than this here.

"Eating someone" is a typically sexual statement in Japanese, and not just in the lesbian sense, so somebody looking delicious / like food / etc. obviously plays into that.

But it's not like those associations don't exist in the West so I really don't see why anyone wouldn't get what "delicious" conveys here.

That manga could have been about any imaginary game whatsoever; the greatest, most ambitious, unrealistic project in the history of gaming ... I don't know, could have called it Star*Citizen or something and just gone crazy with the author's imagination ...

Instead it's monetized fanservice crap. throws manga onto the imaginary crap pile

Bet 10 bucks on 2) Villain.

Is it even the type of story where there's an antagonist? We're 9 chapters in at this point after all and so far it's basically slice-of-unlife ...

So I'll pick 4) future member of her vampire harem.

Then again I can also see it being more practical, that (usually) when someone search for yuri, they don't expect to see dicks.

Unless a tag is outright insulting or something usefulness really should be the only criteria.

Point of tags is to best describe content. Everything else is secondary. Tags aren't defining the content they are applied to, merely indexing content to help find it. So futa tag for futa content and yuri tag for lesbian content makes 127% to me since it doesn't insult anyone and accurately allows anyone to find whichever they want (and you can still read the futa-tagged content as a lesbian romance, no problem! It's just a tag!).

Nothing to see here. Just girls being girl friendly.

First chapter was OK, but didn't really do anything. Question will be where it goes from here ... my expectations are roughly somewhere around "absolutely nowhere". But everything deserves a chance.
