Wow you guys have put a lot of thought, into this. I just figured, that the manga was trying to set a light hearted cheery tone, so I looked at everything, that happened in that light.
I figured Kase and Yamada might have an argument over this, which would lead to open communication, and ultimately bringing them closer together. The spectre of, unhealthy jealously, and domestic violence, never crossed my mind.

If it's worth analyzing, it's worth overanalyzing to within an inch of its life.

@spiels You mean this?

Yeah, Adidas track suits are something of a Russian/East European stereotype.

@juanelric The best name for this ship is, of course, TubaHonks.

I get the feeling that the quote is in reference to the "Eden" logo, which is an apple with two bites taken out of it. It is meant as branding for the logo, and is not in reference to the picture.

Or it could mean that once you've been down on the muffin, you can't go back to het.

You ain't seen nothin'
'til you're down on the muffin

My 2nd fave LL! pairing after NicoMaki.

Next level lip-licking.

Had no idea Gray Wolf was East European.

Bargaining from a position of leverage.

Those spines and waists have a very Liefeldian quality about them.

As for Kase's reaction to the lipstick, I think there's a few factors at play here - as noted Kase had a similar hang-up over Yamada wearing an apron at the school so we have some precedent. Plus she's already uncomfortable being at this fancy cafe plus she found out that Yamada made a new friend she's already on a first name basis with plus Yamada's really happy getting a gift from Mikawa PLUS Yamada is talking about how all the cool girls at her school are wearing makeup and thinks she should too. All of that is kind of a perfect storm for kicking up Kase's already latent jealousy over Yamada to the max. That doesn't excuse Kase, but it does explain her extreme behaviour some.

I think this is a good summary. I very seriously doubt that we're about to suddenly uncover Kase's deep control issues that she's been hiding all this time. It's either going to be "Hey, I was a jerk to you earlier, and I shouldn't have been, and I'm sorry. I just get so scared, you know?" or "Hey, I was a jerk to you earlier, and I shouldn't have been, and I'm sorry, but holy crap you were so hot with that lipstick on I could barely contain myself."

I was actually kind of surprised that Yamada took so readily to calling the new girl by her first name. She doesn't even call Mikawacchi by her first name, nor vice versa, and they've known each other the longest. It just seems kinda...out-of-character for the straight-laced Yamada. I wonder if this is going to be a plot point.

I also wonder if we're setting up a story arc to really dig into Kase's insecurities. The story arc up until now has been Yamada's struggles with her self-esteem because of things Kase was doing, innocent things that Yamada's mind spun up into a crisis. This could be the start of the same thing in reverse, Yamada just being Yamada and Kase spinning those things up in her mind and getting worked up over nothing.

^ Japari Park's #1 Idol group is P.P.P., an all-penguin group.

Kongou is an Anglocon.

It's like a yuri Rorschach test!

Just in case it matters in any way, as the person who started this thread of comments, I was picturing the bottom being the maid because of the wristband and the garter.

Also: Lady is dominant and in charge, so she's on top. Maid is submissive and wants to serve her mistress, so she's on bottom. I mean, just look at that smile. She wants to make her Lady happy!

Looks a little dubcon to me.

The lady of the house and her maid.

Dunno where else to put this, so I figured here was as good a place as any.

I just waded through around 125 consecutive posts from Souleater as he got caught up on all the image posts he's missed lately, and commented on every fucking one. About half of those posts were just "<3". "Cute" and "ok" also made repeat appearances.

Am I the only one who is seriously annoyed by this? Is it just because I'm an old fart? Is this how You Kids Today do things, and I am just out of step with the times?

Me: Oo, a Kemono Friends doujin! <click>
Me: <doesn't look at credits, just scrolls down>
Me: Moose and Jaguar? What is this rank heresy?
Me: <sees boobs>
Me: Ah, I see Mira has done a Kemono Friends doujin.
Me: <scrolls back up, confirms that yep, it's Mira>

Her hand is bandaged so she can't masturbate, so her friend is helping out. That's true friendship right there.

Probably my fave ship ship.
