The things this woman does without realizing... :D

Wouldn't be surprised to see Mio go next, this is going to break her.

^Well, people have been expecting drama based on just the title itself since page 2 of this thread, although the way it was worded in at the end of this chapter still suggests a happy ending once we're through that.

^Well, it was less about Moka kissing Koruri and more about Moka trying to use her tongue to nurse Koruri's throat. :D

I have no idea what you people are talking about, that kiss wiped everything else in the chapter from my mind.

Excellent protection against harassment.

^Nope, definitely not a muffin, although I can see how the shading of her palm may look confusing. Looks pryanik enough to me, even if not quite the kind I'm used to.

Too adorable for words. And how can you possibly resist kissing her?

IIRC, the only additional chapter in the tank should be Anaerobic Love.

Oi, Tomoko, what's with that blatant flirting?

Well, part of it is definitely the callback to the original promise, but even with them relaxing in the bath like that, it also may suggest that they simply didn't consider the possibility of actually going out, either due to nor realizing it was also an option, or out of guilt over their earlier behavior. Nothing a little more time won't fix, though.

^Well, a big part of the problem was exactly that they were not in a relationship, even if she didn't quite realize this was the reason. Admittedly, her behavior was horrible indeed, but far too common in such situations where a girl suddenly seems to attract the (unwanted) attention of every guy around, even without the suppressed lesbian feelings she doesn't really understand herself pushing her much farther into jealousy than normal. I mean, I agree with you that she loved Tachibana, but her resistance throughout most of the hotel part makes it quite clear that she didn't realize this herself, or knew it was even a possibility - while Tachibana who actually realized her own feelings was similarly sure that confessing her feelings would be the end of their relationship.

^^After repeatedly thinking about it, I've concluded it's a bag, although it certainly looked like a swimsuit at first.

Where are you going? To the bed, of course!

Just as expected, mom was a beauty.

And Nikaidou got to eat Tadokoro's home cooking. ^_^

On another matter, the story has been hinting that the (light-haired) former officer Miharu is looking for is Kagami’s mother, but we learn in this chapter that Miharu does remember the woman’s name.

Is “Kagami” such a common Japanese family name that Miharu wouldn’t connect that woman with her senpai? Or is this yet another mystery woman from the past?

I was lost for a moment there since we didn't learn that in this chapter and it had been a while since the last update - after re-reading the chapters so far, we learned this in fact in chapter 8.

It is a good question, though - and while it may be Kagami's mother, the lack of name recognition is now joined by Shinobu not recognizing her from the picture, although it being Miharu drawing from memory, it may not have been as similar to the actual woman as she thought, no matter how well drawn.

Another thing that comes to mind after re-reading it all after this chapter is Kagami wondering why her mom would suddenly want to come to see her in that same chapter 8 - which may well be a change brought on by Shinobu's letters.

Something about experiments to create gates between worlds. The two either accidentally got mixed up in it and met in that place for a short time or they were purposely used for an experiment and then got their memories wiped.

While I do agree that the two Marikas may have been switched before, I doubt it was on purpose, at least if Lily is right and the lab is indeed a few decades old. Accidentally stumbling on an anomaly left in the area due to old experiments seems more likely in this case. I guess we'll see once we get the next bits of this chapter, though...

I actually didn't say that the Marikas got switched... I was just asserting that Normal!Marika and Yuri!Lily met that short time as children because of the experiments. Whether they were just in the area and got involved by accident or whether both or one of them was a test subject, I don't know.

I actually don't think the Marikas got switched. Maybe Yuri!Marika wasn't even involved in that flashback at all. Like I said, Lily talking to her about meeting when they didn't might have sparked her interest in the shrine/lab in the first place.

May have also been like that, yes, but considering the age of the equipment, most likely still accidentally due to a lingering anomaly long after the lab was abandoned.

Likely the same anomaly Yuri!Marika used to perform the switch now, if the theories so far are true.

Sure took them a while to react to that kiss... :D

I'm convinced that Loralei is actually a manifestation of Miki in our reality.

I asked my friend for opinion. And she agrees with me that this manga is dumb, unrealistic and pointless.

You know, after the latest chapter, this does not help convince me otherwise... ;)

I thought chapter 110 had already been uploaded a few months ago?

Not unless it was from another translator, although the correct release date would be Jun 1 based on their release post's date, so you may have read it elsewhere already, I downloaded it back then myself as well.

So, does Touko not hate herself anymore? Because, in my opinion, this is still an open issue.

I'd say no, not since this.

When everyone else is celebrating the end of Heisei, Ishikawa goes back to Shouwa instead, and it only makes the result better.
