What up? My fellow OG fan. Yeah tags help people know what they're reading. It's almost like a genre section at the library. That way people can find what they like faster.

Obviously not when it keeps people being preoccupied with labels over actual content.

Well people still want to know if they read a yuri series, a hetero romance, a yaoi gore drama...

For one thing, it's hardly an issue on Dynasty. For another, they can still do that. Via clicking on it and reading. Mhm. ^^

Flaky older sister is going to go to America and they'll take care of the baby, would be my guess, normally, but here I'm not so sure ...

Tags should just be gone. What people want is full on spoiler summaries for complete series anyway, and tags don't actually serve as in their function as cataloguing content anymore, so better ditch them before further devolvement. People need to be untrained from checklist reading. ^^

How do they get their blood supply now? Double-teaming hapless maidens in the night?

The inevitable exponential growth of vampire x maid yuri ...

I still think Mitsuki's line being about Aya's love for rock/music makes zero sense. The one thing Mitsuki know for sure about Aya since the very first chapter is that she loves rock and music as much as she does.

I've also never seen any romance do that sorta "gotcha!" to the audience. Stupid misunderstandings, drunk amnesia, last-minute-cold-feet, all sorts of rubbish however plausible or not plausible, but don't think I ever saw any sort of serious author just go for a straight up troll of the audience.

So frankly don't really get the worry ^^;

zzZZz ... oh, we're already done with this?

Can't say I find the quality of writing in this manga very convincing ^^;

It's one of those "plug-in endings" that's unfortunately weirdly common with manga. You could have gone on with the misunderstanding another ten chapters and put those two ending chapters there. Or you could have put those ending chapters in 10 chapters earlier. It wouldn't have made an iota of difference. ^^

A timeless classic. Future archeologists will marvel at the artistry our society had achieved before the Great Cataclysm.

How heartwarming ...
... next chapter: beating the crap out of her.

Ethical usage of love potions kinda took me by surprise ...
... not sure about yet another character. We introduce a new character so we can introduce a new character? Uh.

That's the reason the chapter seemed short: it's just the first pages.

Aha! Kay, thanks.

Presumably this is going to end now? ^^;

Seems like a weirdly short chapter? 24?

Pretty random ride. Hard to tell how much was meant to be just for the lulz and what was supposed to be serious drama. Well, overall one of the manga I read.

. . . realized they'd plotted themselves into a corner and had neglected to come up with a way out.

Honestly it doesn't feel like they planned ahead much or thought too deeply about anything.

I mean, at some point they make a point of explaining the background of the archbishop and babylon as both being invested into the well-being of the refugees and working towards a common goal with their respective organizations - only to then find their differences causing them to become enemies that can't reconcile over the question of "how".

But at the end babylon-woman just goes "that's childish" instead of some sort "hey look, we tried that, it didn't work, what makes you think it'll go better now?" or aaaanyyything else that'd even remotely connect back to this obvious parallel development ^^;

Meh, dunno. Can't say that entirely convinced me; tone swings around too much, pacing seems kinda off balance - some things very rushed, others kinda drag. Bits feel like they weren't planned ahead. Ending is "people stand around and preach" and that's about it.

"The true hitman is the girlfriends we made along the way."

Yeah. Take the gun. Shoot Babylon woman. Use the power of ... extrajudicial murder ... for, uh, good.

wtf ^^;

That forgotten-childhood-friend trope really needs to die one day.

About as expected, even if the details were tricky to figure out.

Given that the manga generously glosses over them too I'd say the author agrees with that assessment ;)

Ch.56, p.5 ... Awai. Basically flat-chested. Ch.262, p.12 ... okay, it's just some character rough, for some reason, but what the hell?! Seriously, this manga ^^;

I just keep thinking about the people who kept whiningly insisting on a "comedy" tag...

How serious are you taking this fight? ^^;

The promotion to just be a promotion with no strings attached makes Hiroko's refusal kinda weak. After Ayako's confession and everyone's reaction it seems kinda ... eeh to just "has a hang up from the past" be the only hurdle. It's obvious that company culture has changed. I think it'd have worked better had there been a bit more to it.

Those two sure are cooperative with each other for all that they are working for opposing factions ^^;
