At least it wasn't McDonald's this time.

And their lightning held in fist armbands which are certainly not meant to be reminiscent of uhh literal fascist groups huh.

Guess the lightning bolt kinda is, but the clenched fist is if anything a symbol of socialism, so ...

Anyway. Still don't really get how this is supposed to convince Benika of anything but that the refugees need to get every help they can possibly get ^^;

She was asking for that advice specifically.

p.59 "Even though that was supposed to be senpai's exact type."

If you ask about somebody's type and you know their ex-girlfriends, of course you are going to describe them?! That's common sense, nothing crazy about it, as it is evidently true. That's not the same as "and you should totally turn into an exact copy of them".

Also, the chapter specifically recalls the "womanizer" part, implying in a sense that while she had plenty of conquests none where as meaningful as "that one" (so obviously, that's her type - exactly correct).

... she asked them what Hiroko wants in a woman. They describe her type, which obviously they do via her long term crush. Nobody said anything about dressing up like her; that's obviously Ayako going off the rails as usual.

People sometimes have weird reads on stuff that's going on manga ^^;

Feels rather like Benika will start championing the refugee cause too ...

So exploitive, making a middle school help with chores. Good thing people immediately went up in arms over it ...

Hilarious stupid "coincidence".

"The Church" in manga and anime honestly bears barely any resemblance to the real thing. It's kinda like talking about the Roman Empire as depicted in scifi story as alien races or something; it's a vague model, it copies certain iconic elements, but it's otherwise just completely it's own (made up) thing.

Middle school, well, that's basically middle age for a Japanese maid. No issues.

The violent, illegal hitmen organization is advocating for peaceful progress and restraint, while the church is the ones promoting a more direct and aggressive approach.

It's more that the violent organization is protecting the status quo under a thin veil of "magically things will change by not doing anything".

Awfully kind of those two characters to recap their past, their goals, and their positions on how to achieve them.

"Conditioning" ... the word is addiction.

Keep being dysfunctional (:

This is some Spy vs. Spy shit lmao. They even have opposite hair colors.

That'd just about be the first manga where two characters subsequently introduced had the same hair color instead of a light/dark setup to better differentiate them ...

I expected her to do a public coming out, to show it won't do anything bad; this was a weird development ...
... but I guess that's what the manga is all about ;)

Either her family was previously murderous or perhaps it's simple that vampires are immortal and maids die sooner or later, on account of not being vampires ... though the ghosts are young, but, eh, who knows what the rules are ^^;

But yeah, don't buy her remembering a QR code either...

More plausible than the stunts she's done so far. QR Code is just a series of 0 (white) and 1 (black). There are real memorizing tricks so that sorta thing can be done ^^;

Character A makes a slightly ambiguous statement.
Character B flat out asks whether it's meant to be taken in a romantic sense.

B..but...that's against the rules?!

Okay, if it's the last chapter, I guess that explains that ...

Mhmmm ... the fact that Chinatsu ended up resigning along with "all the old guard" and then refusing any further contact kiiiiiinda makes me vaguely suspicious that the "rumors" might not have been entirely unfounded, but obviously that's neither here nor there.

"No," she said, and rushed to tell Mom.

Those information gathering skills are just something else. I mean, coming right out asking insistent questions, whoa, that's some serious spy skills there ...
... if this were more serious I'd expect her to get murdered by the next chapter. ^^

This opinion makes me think you've never seen an action movie.
Or a comedy movie, for that matter.

That entire thing is more Loaded Weapon than Die Hard; I don't think they are too wrong ... ^^

Trust me, I've been around this block hundreds, maybe thousands of times, in yuri and het, and she has no chance.

There's always that one story that bucks narrative convention. Is this one going to be it ... ?

... no way in hell.

But it could be.

Really not.

But just maybe.

Never really got the "appeal" of that mechanism, so to speak. It obviously can't work so might as well just do ... literally anything else. But somehow it's a thing ... oh well.

The theme park map was very funny, I actually had to go back and take in all the detail lol
