Grea no that's not spaghetti

Murder me with that cute stuff

But if you die, you can't see Touko and Yuu relieving their lust!

chu~

There's a lewd one somewhere but its currently untranslated. And there's another one but it's futa-on-futa because we can't have nice things.

At least I managed to roll Ren and Rika in EN Magireco

This is too out-of-character for me. Everyone knows that Anne would go for the tail first!

In the end, her sister really did...
Bloom into Yuu...

The real twist will be that Yuu was Touko's sister all along.

cute gay dorks

I personally thing the anime ending was great and fit the series well as a classical tragedy, but I still just want a bullshit happy ending where they fly off to Guam and nobody checks Satou's passport too closely.

I do agree that Satou going back for the ring, and her taking it off while dealing with Shouko's corpse, was a bit contrived, but I have an interpretation of that that I believe fits. You see, the ring is an object representing Satou's and Shio's bond, and since Shio is Satou's sole reason for living, such an object has extreme sentimental value. Satou makes a big deal about the purity of her emotions, and so she wouldn't want an object that is so pure in her eyes to be tainted by something as impure as a corpse, especially of someone that she murdered for the sake of that pure love. I actually think that Satou said something to the effect during the chapter, but it was my interpretation during the anime airing as well.

heir situation can be worse and worse until Satou have to whore herself to earn their living which surely is not Happy Sugar (& Salt) Life anymore.

she was literally already doing that prior to meeting shio

Satou wasn't whoring herself out to make a living, she was just having lots of mindless sex while looking for love. You could argue that she was a slut, but a whore charges money.

Well it's not like Yuu is bringing in some bum from the street, Touko is the SC prez, top of the class (until now lmao), beautiful and well-mannered. And they can already get biological grandkids with Rei.

It's a win-win

Also it would be pretty great to see Yuu's sister congratulate her or even defend her against her mom if her mom has a problem with it, since she's known that Yuu and Touko were a thing since nearly the beginning.

When we finally get to THAT scene, I'm sure that it'll go the tasteful route like Kase-san did.

I think the actual end of the series will be Yuu coming out to her family, since the story's been setting that up a bit.

LONG. LIVE. THE. SHIP.

I've been thinking, is it really still a ship when it becomes a confirmed couple?

Yuu is clearly the one who's going to top. Even Touko fantasizes about Yuu topping.

I think it's a little early to be thinking about wedding rings, Yuu!
And yeah, we're definitely getting the first time. Yuu and Touko are so horny for each other it's ridiculous (well, hornier than usual in Touko's case)

And to be fair, a lot of us learned about "shoujo-ai" in our time. I rarely hear it these days since yuri is becoming a bit more mainstream and online communities are more accessible.

Poor Mya-nee, getting bullied by her mom even as a middle-schooler

Also it took me until just now to realize that the title was a pun on RikaRen

I don't like what Magia Record stands for but RikaRen are beautiful destiny and did absolutely nothing wrong.

Satou's and Shio's relationship is interesting, because while Satou's love for Shio is the reason why she does all these crazy things, it's also her one redeeming and humanizing quality. I feel like a lot of times love is placed on the axis of good vs evil, and this story is trying to divorce those concepts. Satou is probably a bad person, but she does both good and bad things for the sake of Shio.
I think that Satou makes a bad first impression, because at first she's colored as a yandere who's manipulating Shio for nefarious reasons, but it later turns out to be more complicated (just like it's hard to tell what exactly their weird nonsexual romantic mother-daughter surrogate thing their relationship truly is), and the initial idea that Satou kidnapped Shio turns out to be not quite true.
I don't know if this has been discussed already, but the thing about Shio is that she's a "prize" for several characters, something to be fought over and won. Satou needs her in order to feel actual love for someone, Asahi needs her to fix his broken family, and Mitsuboshi needs her to heal him emotionally (and satisfy his lolicon fantasies). But Shio is her own person with her own needs and emotions, not just some happiness dispenser. Satou is the only one who realizes this and who actually changes how she views Shio, and it serves to reinforce how Satou is the only person capable of truly taking care of Shio.

The thing is, it's been demonstrated that Satou is the only one who can take care of Shio. Asahi can't even take care of himself, let alone Shio, and Yuuna abandoned Shio because she realized that she couldn't take care of her either. Would Shio really be better off in a foster care system (which are always clusterfucks)?

Satou provides Shio with shelter, hot meals, baths, a bed and a roof over it, electricity, and not only that but also the genuine love and affection that Shio has been literally starving for her entire life. Satou is willing to work multiple awful jobs to do so, and does it without complaint (her only actual issue with the rapist manager was that she was docking her pay), and for someone who's also a high school student she's doing a damn good job. The fact of the matter is that Satou may have done evil things, but she not only makes Shio happy, but also takes care of her; if Satou had not found Shio, she would have been left to god-knows-what fate on the streets. What exactly is Asahi's plan if he were to reunite with Shio?

Also this is my first post after lurking for several years, hi
