Kaoru confirmed Worst Girl.

Lmao! Bruh...! XD

One day someone woke up and said "I'm gonna draw a female Ronald McDonald copping a feel of a female Colonel Sanders' tits"...

Well, that was just a meh chapter.

Yeah, this felt like a bit of a throwback to the much more fanservice centric early chapters which are my least favourite chapters.

The added clumsy raunchiness that doesn't go far is what sets it apart from the abundance of vanilla high school Yuri mangas.

Honoka chapters are always...bizarre.

That's one cram school you probably wouldn't want to send your daughter to. How creepy.

I very much agree with you. I originally had the following TN on page 120 before removing it as being redundant and distracting to the reader. And this TN is the paired down softened version.

*T/N I held it in before but, speaking mildly, this scumbag should die. Clearly he’s teaching cram school just so he can get at young girls.

I feel like this is the weird thing about this manga, though? Like, that cram school teacher is trash for sure, but Ema's not a whole lot better and she's a main character. If the manga was trying to draw some kind of parallel between all these predatory adults, I could maybe see where it was going, but it doesn't seem to be doing much with it?

I think you are being unfair to Ema here. I means the cram school teacher clearly groom girl for sex, while Ema has only technically make her advance once when drunk.

Yes she did all of those sexual harassment thingy. But that was under pretext of Japanese skinship. Which is not really sexual by nature

Oh come on! Skinship does not involve sticking your face into someone's crotch and kissing it! It's nothing more than physical interaction such as hugging that usually gets raunched up in anime and manga for the comedy or ecchi. The teacher is having sexual relations with one of his students and that's not much different to what Ema is doing with Anna... and will probably continue to do more intimately considering it's Asagi Ryuu. It doesn't matter what her reasons are, she's no better. You're excusing the same thing you're condemning because it involves a character you like. And I'm surprised no one criticising the teacher has realised this.

You could call it manipulative, and it would be accurate, as she's acting to effect people around her, but the psychopath diagnosis implies that she's coldly furthering herself, when she's choosing a very bad way of going about it. She's being cruel and destructive, which is awful, obviously, but it's more likely to be indicative of genuine pain, especially when coupled with self-harm. That potential depth of emotion and feeling is likely what's drawing sympathy from some of the readership here, and the idea that one could be the sole recipient of hidden passion, strong enough to turn someone to the dark side, is very, very sexy.

Hmm... I'm afraid I don't share those feelings.

I'd tag her as narcissistic, if we're casting about for personality disorders, which I'd rather not.

You are indeed wise. Diagnosis via internet is a fool's game at best, all the more so when you're diagnosing a character, rather than an actual human. At best you're second-guessing the artist's intentions.

I cannot for the life of me see how self-interpretation of a story is foolish... It's a staple element of literature. Futhermore, what the author intends and what the author portrays are not always the same. And given this is a character-driven story with very little known input from the author on his characters I'd think it would be wiser to apply self-interpretation as opposed to merely soaking up content without independent thought.

I'm not really getting psychopathic vibes. Kaoru's behaviour seems too self-defeating and outlandish, and she's not so much manipulative as she is forceful. I think she'd achieve her (presumed) goals better by courting sympathy and feigning contrition.

She did just that by starving herself, evoking a tearful forgiveness from Shizuka. And given her antics all up to the current chapter, especially around the younger girls, I wager I've gotten the gist of her nature. She's a manipulator.

What magnificent... HIPS!

Am I the only one who roots for Shizuka x Kaoru

I hope so. I fervently dislike Kaoru. She's appeared as nothing but a vain, mental and emotional manipulator. Almost like a predator. I guess it does a certain nuance to this series though. Not that it was needed.

Kaoru's kind of a dick, especially considering she's with someone too but that aside... second half seg-way was hilarious. "But I just couldn't find the remote control anywhere". How random lol

I found my second favourite pairing behind Ai and Chie.

Seeing all these purityfags shitposting allover this show makes me rage inside.
Like come on, people! Are you seriously putting so much value over a girl's hymen that you cannot see how well-done the ending was?!

That "My 71%" was solid gold I tell you!

I honestly didn't realize that plot point bothered people so much. Sure I didn't like it but it was such a non-issue for me that I completely forgot about it till it was brought up here. Wow. What makes them hate this series is the 20 second heterosexual incest scene that we barely even saw, but let's totally gloss over the actual kidnap and rape between the main pairing and the fact that they teleported off onto some remote planet in the universe with no hope of returning because "YAY YURI <3".

I'm now realizing how prudish yuri fans are. A bunch of them raged over the sandmen scene in Valkyrie Drive Mermaid that lasted about 15 seconds. Of all the trashy things that happen in that anime, the sandmen scene was what rustled their jimmies because it wasn't girl on girl. facepalm

That girl's gonna become a freak in bed.

Oh my God. Chie x Ai..! I'm dead. That's it, on my way to heaven. These girls have killed me!

Definitely a rewarding chapter for those supporting ChiexAi. I actually never realized she wasn't ever drawn with her hair down. I legit had the flutters when I saw her.

The first part of cht.32 was really adorable. Ayano becoming increasingly worried to the point of tears upon seeing Miyoshi is pain was great. The second part, not so much. I'm still failing to see any redeeming qualities to Honoka. I actually despise reading Honoka/Alicia parts. Only saving grace was seeing Chie.

You know... reading these forum responses are giving me a good sense of the feelings I got reading the NaruSaku forums a few chapters before the end of the manga (The final pairings of that manga are sh#t)... Now I'm not sure whether I wanted Keiko and Ran to become a couple or not, mostly because I wasn't sure of their relationship despite the many posts on this forum that prided their romantic interest in each other, but I must say I do get a slight enjoyment out of seeing the comments go from certainty to nervous doubt for some reason. I wonder why...?

Not my cup of tea.

To me, it's just pseudo-yuri without romance, aka porn for male readers.

But not for female readers because female readers don't like Yuri smut.... Only yaoi smut. And fanfic smut. And shoujo smut.

Could have sworn there was a lengthy post here ridiculing everyone who liked this doujin as disrespecting the characters. In fact, wasn't this thread locked?

I'm not all the way caught up, but I don't know if I like that Miu girl. She's really self absorbed so far and I feel like the the athletic girl, while cliche, is wasted on her.

Also, I knew it before, but the first five pages of this comment section solidified how hard it is to criticize something on this website. It's happened to me more than once as well.

This chapter was... What the hell?

Poor Keiko is surrounded by trolls. Makes her all the more adorable when they tease her.

I'm not even gonna act like I didn't like this.

I feel like Ayano's face should have been a LOT redder.
