So... Where's the rest? You can't just leave us hanging like this. author...

Anyone willing to bet that Shimamura and Nagafuji were out to buy Christmas presents for Adachi and Hino, respectively?

Seems the most likely explanation, yes.

And a note to the translators: "Shimaura" on page 2 of chapter 11.

Conversion successful.

sooo wats after hair

Hair

Considering her reactions to Tadokoro washing her, Nikaidou will die if they ever make it into the bed, won't she?

So I guess Ucchi's birthday is coming up.

^Admittedly, Sayaka never had a chance. By the time Touko had progressed to the point where she could actually accept someone's love for her she had already fallen for Yuu.

^Except, you know, the kiss. Surprisingly enough, that was a first. After everything they've done, I too would have thought they'd done that before (which prompted me to reread the series to make sure), but no, it was the first time Hino has ever done something like this, while on Koguma's side we only have the motivation button kisses from chapter 7. And nothing they've done so far has involved this kind of emotion behind it.

Again, reader's perception, obviously intentional by the author, not relevant to the characters.

If it's intentional by the author, how can it not be relevant to the characters? It is the author's intention to show us what the characters are feeling, after all.

[...] secondly, even if she had one, it would be superseded by unrelenting shame, fear and instinct to escape. She was downright afraid by the end of the whole thing.

Note that neither I not Blastaar are arguing against this part, but this does not change the nature of her reaction in any way. Moreso, you're also ignoring her blushing as well as the slight moans accompanied with little hearts denoting her reaction here.

This reading completely ignores the way the previous two pages are staged to overtly sexualize that encounter.

Ayako thinks she’s just giving Asuka a stern parental talking to, but she throws her daughter down on the bed, accidentally (we assume) grinds her knee in her crotch (accompanied by the sfx “grind”), then strokes her thigh (in scolding her about getting creases in her skirt).

Certainly Asuka is ashamed, and she’s not thinking of her response as a good thing or reveling in it. But denial of the sexual implications of that sequence is not the same as objectivity.

So you admit it's all in the perspective of the reader, not the characters. I see very little, if any, indication that Asuka has the same reaction to this as the readers do.

I don't really care how sexual the author wants to make the moments, all I care about is that neither side actually interpreted it that way themselves. Those are two different layers.

Thirst supersedes all as usual I guess.

Wait... Are you seriously arguing that the same Asuka even you agree is interested in her mom as much as to masturbate to her on her bed would not have a sexual reaction to this kind of touching by the object of her desires?

Murder incoming.

I groaned when Lily denied it, but hurrahed when Marika understood anyway. YAY for a not dense MC who pushes for communication!

Nice to see one for a change, yes.

And now we have Marika wondering about her own feelings as well. ^_^

^Rin knows best.

I'm still hoping for Koguma to actually have been awake for that.

^Eh, you're entirely overlooking the ability to add secondary classes, which can change things considerably - to the point that I'm mainly using Primrose as a second Scholar instead of her regular skillset. I also vastly prefer AoE healing to Alfyn letting half the party die while healing just one person. Which has, admittedly, led to the point that I'm still stuck in Alfyn's chapter 4 and its ridiculously hard boss fight.

Let me just reiterate again that there is not indication here whatsoever that she actually has a boyfriend. We've seen plenty of yuri where everyone assumes that the good-looking girl must have a boyfriend, but turns out to be single and only interested in another girl in the end.

She did her best to resist. But how could you disappoint the little lady when she asks like this?

The things one realizes when re-reading... As surprising as Koguma's exhaustion may have seemed, the author actually did show us Hino noticing it.

I don't see how everyone could have a chuckle of Hino raping Koguma and streaming it online. This is just disgusting

Why would you assume she was streaming it? She was clearly just recording it so they could later watch it together.

This is bullshit, she has a boyfriend, can we have some yuri without guys around? I'm tired of this shit

Has she, though? Or does Yuki just assume so?

Tsubakuma

Immediately thought of that one as well, yes. I do like this one more, though.

Yuri is the road to world peace.

^Of all possible people, you choose Maki who has no interest in romance whatsoever?

Well, then. Looks like we have some excellent news here - FAKKU Books has just revealed their new LGBTQ imprint KUMA with the license for syou's book (English title: When Budding Lilies Blossom) as part of the announcement. Digital release later this year and paperback coming in 2020.

Koromo being Koromo. :D
