Nice, top Adachi.

I know it's probably not what the artist was going for, but seeing Tewi's reflection in the window I can't help but think of her as some sort of horrifying faceless monstrosity. Still, the snow bunnies are cute.

Also, something that has been bugging me since I saw the raws was why there are two versions of the first page?

Yeah, I was wondering about that too. Maybe Saburouta accidentally published a rough draft of the first page along with the final version? Though it'd be weird that no editors or whatever caught that either.

I managed to beat all of the extra operations! Now all that's left is the pseudo-Annihilation stage in a few days. This is actually the first event I've been able to beat without using any guides at all, so I'm pretty happy with myself. DM-EX-6 gave me a lot of trouble but I barely managed to beat it without wasting any sanity.

You mean that ?

Oh, never mind. I completely forgot about that and just assumed the author was doing something else; I’m dumb

I like Ayumu's seamless transition from clingy childhood friend (girlfriend?) to complete pervert.

Honestly surprised this isn't a sequel to this.

Same.

Some things never change.

Zhongli's officially getting buffed! These changes are for the 1.3 beta (ie probably won't be coming until at least February) and might still be changed later:
* Extra damage for Zhongli's normal attacks and skills based on his HP; still gives 33% extra HP damage to elemental burst
* Held elemental skill now automatically creates a new stele if there isn't already the maximum number out, now harder to interrupt; all other effects are the same

Geo element's in general's also been buffed:
* The resonance effect (aka when you have two or more Geo characters on a team) now gives characters protected by shields extra shield strength and causes their attacks to lower enemies' Geo resistance. Still gives 15% extra damage when protected by shields, but no longer increases interruption resistance
* Geo shields (Zhongli, Noelle, Geovishap crystals) now have 150% physical and elemental damage absorption, as opposed to 250% Geo damage absorption

So the reactions I've seen so far on Zhongli is mixed. The extra damage buffs for Zhongli are welcome but won't be a huge gamechanger. Him automatically creating a stele when shielding is nice as well but can block your own projectile attacks. It's probably not enough to make him amazing, or even really good, but they will at least help both as a physical DPS or as shield/burst support.

People are a lot more positive on the Geo buffs, particularly the resonance one. I'm not sure if the actual mechanics changed but the wording for the damage increase changed from "increases Attack DMG by 15%" to "DMG dealt increased by 15%". The Geo shield changes are welcome as well considering how rare enemy Geo damage is.

Again, reminder that these are a work in progress and might still be changed later.

Gotta love how Sayaka just goes along with it, with barely a complaint.

@Hylarn That goes for pretty much all of this artist's Evangelion comics, especially the ones with Rei (which again are pretty much all of them0

Oh, I only just realized Kirara's holding books on yuri flowers, aka lilies. So it's a triple misunderstanding! Probably should've guessed from her earrings.

How...wholesome? Well, what’s important is that they’re both happy (even if the yandere is being tsundere about it).

Neat, new Touhou crackship. Also, somehow I'm not surprised that the artist of Gakkou Gurashi! used to draw Touhou.

Lol at those lips in the last panel. Looking at them I kinda wonder if they're the same characters from this comic - or at least if blondie and brunette are, pinkie probably isn't.

Huh, thought this was Asami x Korra at first.

Now that that's all settled...how about that bath scene?!! Huehuehuehue!!

It's great and lewd. I've said this before, but I really like Aono Shimo's art. Speaking of which, here's the cover of the first volume! https://twitter.com/aonoesu/status/1339404999688736770. This chapter's a good stopping point for the first volume in my opinion, especially since the next chapter ends on a cliffhanger

I appreciate the cover art for that volume, very nice. Not sure I want to know how exactly Itami dated a non-anthropomorphic flower, though.

Tsundere selfcest? That’s new.

Gyaru: Maybe you'll get hit on!
Plainy: Gets hit on
Gyaru:

Why did they change the line at the last part
Please like me.
Would've been more sad

Oh wow, I completely missed this change. After checking things, the webnovel's translation and the Italian manga translation went with "Please like/love me". However, the official English light novel translation has it as "Do whatever you want".

The original webnovel has the line as 好きになさいな, so assuming it's the same in the manga (and judging by the Italian translation, it is) then "Please like/love me" is probably more accurate after all. I'm not sure why the official English light novel changed that so drastically, unless that was specifically changed in the Japanese light novel version as well.

Nevermind, apparently the webnovel translation and the Italian translation were wrong

The URL is accurate as usual: "whymustyuuhurtmethisway.png"

There's quite a lot more comics that hasn't been translated, including a (full length?) NSFW doujin. You can see them on the author's Pixiv and Twitter; it gets pretty spicy~

It's nice to see a mildly more mature side of Rei. She still looks hilariously out of place in the maid outfit, though. Those gremlin expressions really just scream 'kinky cosplay' instead of 'household help', which is very much in line with how video game characters look when you put them in costumes that aren't part of their regular character design.

Rei would be into kinky maid cosplay, despite working as an actual maid. Claire probably would be too
