Also in what regard can Sometimes not catch a break? I thought the Super Hero one had a full run? Am I mistaken or is there something else?

Well, yeah. But their next series After School Reincarnation got the chop early. Then the magical girl guest series didn't receive continuation. So this makes three unfulfilled projects in a row (even though Sometime is only the artist this time).

I call this the 3-volume curse, where stories get axed after 3 volumes.

I call it the curse of Action+Yuri series. :-( Almost all manga I've read that combined those genres got axed before their time...

Page 18 is adorable. That awkward moment when you suddenly realize that the hot and awesome person in front of you has never wanted anything more than to be your spouse.

somehow i’ve gotten used to the yuri x politics pairing

So have I. It's almost like politics of some kind are endemic to every facet of the human experience...

So, I've read it and want to talk about it here :p (spoilers ahead) the storyline in itself I thought was fine, the rush in the last chapters wasn't really a problem BUT, I do think they overused the emotional and dramatic moments. And like, that entire ending arc of them just changing limbs around like it's legos... that really threw me off, the series could've ended on chapter 29 with mistress getting her mother's limbs, waking up to Kaede next to her and things sorting themselves out in a more relaxed pace, that probably would've been more impactiful than dragging it out like they did but well, that's just what I think of it, very enjoyable series otherwise. I recommend it but do be aware that it's about some sensitive topics.

I agree that the whole Lego limbs things is ridiculous at face value, but I have read it as a deliberately grotesque metaphor for narcissistic parents having kids only for the sake of living vicariously through them, at the cost of said kids' everything. This is a very Gothic story in that way.

That said, the last few chapters could have definitely been streamlined more: I get it that the author wanted to show how Fuuka has grown past her Wants (revenge + return of limbs) by sacrificing them for her Need (continued relationship with Kaede), I think there were easier ways to establish that. As written, Kaede's fear of losing Fuuka has actually cost the latter her last chance at getting her limbs back: if they had just waited a bit longer until her mom's corpse was delivered, everything would work fine, but Kaede's insistence (against Fuuka's express wishes, one may notice) on giving her her limbs had ultimately made Fuuka's body unable to support any more surgeries like that.

Oh, another fun thing I noticed: Fuuka's ninja maid (who has not appeared in the chapters available on DS so far) wears gloves with the same distinct design as the Demon Lord's horns from the author's other series. Coincidence or a hint at a shared universe?

At this point, everything and everyone in the universe treating Fujiyama unfairly is the new normal, so I am not surprised that she was disqualified. I mean, everyone passes for making it out of the labyrinth without injuries, but the one person who lost her outfit saving another participant from sustaining those very injuries gets disqualified for it... sounds like a Tuesday for Fujiyama. At the same time, my headcanon is that Aroaro has flunked her for being too old, revealing herself as a conservative reactionary despite all of her the high-minded talk about lowering the age limit, so the whole thing is a metaphor for ossified institutions that cling to appearances despite realizing that they need to change with the time.

Maybe I am reading too much into it.

Rookie mistake, honestly... If you're planning to kill someone, don't engage them in conversation first.

...I've read about that in a book. Y-Yeah, a book. About murders and stuff.

There is an old Russian proverb that literally goes something like "Don't cry for your hair after your head's been lopped off".

Aya is Type D: Passed With The Power Of Love.

Damn! All that worrying and fretting and angst, and for what? Nothing.

It's almost like having a lot of (negative) feelings about things that have not happened yet is usually unnecessary. ^^

Also like I migt be reading it wrong but on Page 6 Ruruna really doesn't look like she wants to bite sensei lmao.

Ruruna definitely didn't want to bite her. (Un)Fortunately, Wakana is in charge of this harem.

Yea, after this chapter, at the very least, it's pretty clear that Ruruna is part of Wakana's growing harem, not the other way around. Think about it: a) the only kin Ruruna actually wanted to turn was Wakana, b) the second girl had a crush on Wakana, and c) the teach was turned on Wakana's insistence. Everything links up to Wakana, while Ruruna is just the instrument of her wicked will.

Anyone notice how Shion was so enraged by Frost saying that her father was overcome by the armor that she tried to draw down on her?
Or that she has a hatred of knights. Especially “lecherous knights”.
Or that she’s 2m tall and has dark hair. Not unlike Frost was expected to have…

Am I crazy to think that the sister drama has only just begun?

Hoho, you think that Frost's failure of a dad had begun sleeping around after locking up his wife? Wouldn't put it past him, honestly.

EDIT: We don't know much about Shion's background IIRC, but Clarice notes that her sword is unusual and her name does not fit the rest of the characters' theme, so it's safe to assume that she embodies the "Token Samurai In A European Setting" trope. I am not sure whether anyone had remarked that she has unusual facial features, indicating that she is actually from the setting's Japan equivalent, but if so, then the theory would be that she at least has a different mother than Frost. Otherwise, it is feasible that Frost is a changeling, or was simply switched out for Shion right after birth, so Shion grew up with different parents.

You've got a fascinating set of priorities, Yuuki.

Complete Trash™

We need a "Complete Trash" tag for this, because everyone/most of the characters are such dumpster-fires lol

Where can I sign your petition to make Complete trash an official tag?

Ah, my bad. I meant Dahlia and Violet.

But if they were just school friend, why call her "older sister"? However close people get with friends, I have never seen anyone call them older/younger siblings before. "Like an older/younger sibling," yes, but I don't know if it's just the translation.

It's a whole Thing in high-society (mostly all-girls) schools in Japan (at least in the world of manga, I don't know enough to say how true-to-life it is) where an upperclassman and a freshman will take a sisterly vow or whatever, and take care of each other as (high-society) sisters would. You're going to see it a lot of you continue using this site and reading random yuri.

Unrelated question out of random curiosity, is there a consistent word Frost is saying that's being translated as "Yeah."? Is it just "hai", or "nn", or what?

To confirm for those still confused, Violet and Dahlia are not actually related, as was implied in the very first reveal that they knew each other. In ch14, Dahlia says their academy had a 姉妹制度 (sister system) where older students would look after a younger one. That's all the information we're given, really. As far as I can tell, this isn't a real thing outside of anime.

I am assuming this is based on the "Class S" tradition, which was in place at some all-girls schools in pre-WW2 Japan. AFAIK that is pretty much the conceptual origin of the entire modern yuri genre. A YouTuber named Meeka le Fay had recently made a great video recapping this particular history, among other things, but I'm sure there are a lot more sources on it.

I tend to avoid School life series nowadays, but after Schrödinger's Girl, I decided to give this one a chance, found it rather refreshing, and decided to keep reading.

So is Dahlia actually Shion's older sister or not?

AFAIU Dahlia and Shion are unrelated. So are Dahlia and Violet, it seems to me, but they did have a sister-like relationship in their childhoods, which Dahlia had apparently betrayed on the Day of Ashes.

Wakana has been the real monster all along.

....also can Ruruna fly!?!? Or was she just talking while falling?

No, she just jumped out of the classroom window, did a three point landing in front of sensei (which you can see reflected in her iris), and then started talking. Superhuman physique is pretty standard fare for vampires. :-)

Oof. I don't think Natori did anything wrong, it's just that Lapis couldn't deal with her own feelings and chose to run away.
