I'm getting the feeling that not even Ruruna can release these girls from being her thralls. It's like she is casually just ending their life's as they know it,and there's no way to bring them back. The thought feels kind of icky honestly.

I don't think it's really fair to say she "ended their lives as they know it". Sure, Wakana's gone off the deep end, but that seems to be more because she wanted to go off the deep end and even if Ruruna could release her she'd probably keep at it. Yura, by contrast, seems to still be acting pretty normally. She's getting dragged in to Wakana's shenanigans more, but she was already inclined to follow Wakana and I don't think it's had that large of an impact on her life.

starting to realize Wakana is more messed up than Ruruna and that makes it way more entertaining lol

You're only just now realizing that?

I just realized something. There are laws governing what vampires can do, and those laws are enforced by humans, meaning there's at least some awareness of vampires existing in this world, though it's not clear how widespread that knowledge is. Wakana and Yura didn't seem to know about them, but I wonder if the teacher will.

Similarly, there's an information network for monsters, not just vampires, so I wonder if any of Wakana's victims—let's be realistic here, she's the one who's in charge and targeting people—will turn out to be a different kind of monster.

... Why did they strip her before tying her to the chair?

Solid manga.

Predictably disappointing comment section. ^^

In what way do you think it's disappointing?

I don't want to speak for op, but I'd say the constant talk about how gross smoking is gets pretty tiresome.

Oh this is very real, yeah. It's a manga for sickos who are into smoking women (affectionate), you'd think they'd filter themselves out

There's a lot more to this manga than just a hot woman smoking.

The glorification of cigarettes last chapter felt a bit much, but everything else about this manga continues to be amazing.

Koma clearly knows what she's doing when it comes to being a wing women and Momo remains unreasonably hot. It's also kind-of funny that Kaori's drawn in a slightly different style from everyone else, but she sort-of snaps into the regular style when sufficiently shocked or flustered.

Actually, at least in this chapter, all three of the characters seem to have their own, very different, eye styles. Momo has a fairly traditional style with all of the parts well defined, Kaori has a childish-retro look, and Koma as a very simplified and symbolic look. It's interesting how that lines up with Kaori's and Koma's characters, but I'm not sure what the more traditional style is supposed to say about Momo. I also wonder if the fact that Momo keeps her style more consistently than the others has any significance. Similarly they seem to drift towards her style when they lose their own, but that might just be because her style is the least stylized.

Wow. The name rang a bell, but it took me WAY to long to realize it was Kino's Journey. The first one was such a cozy show—yes, I consider philosophical musings cozy—but I wasn't as hooked by the remake.

Two pairs of ears…

Of course. It makes sense to pair your high gain, highly directional, receivers with a low gain omnidirectional pair. This gives you the ability to maintain awareness and localize sounds, in your general area, while also focusing on the sounds you care about.

I feel like there's a page missing from this.

Truly, hers is a fiendish plot. Using kindness to kindle a love of reading so she can have more reasons to be kind to someone.

The fiend.

Well, Kanna certainly knows what she wants.

Cute and hilarious as always. With that said, I'm not sure how I feel about Patchy's library. On one hand, the design is awesome. On the other, all of that humidity, from being in a room with a large body of water, cannot be good for the books.

Also, oof, Meiling. Getting smacked awake and wondering why Sakuya was being so gentle hurts almost as much as Komachi not being phased by the statement.

I just noticed Pandora in the last panel and all I can say is that her sacrifice will not be forgotten. XD

The real question is whether this will make it easier or harder for Marisa to get away with her ill gotten goods.

Bit ironic that the princess is the bodyguard.

Stylish as all get out, though.

On an unrelated note, I saw the leash and immediately thought of “Her Pet” it’s been so long since I’ve read it tho, I literally had to look up what the name was

Is Her Pet on Dynasty, because searching it didn't seem to turn anything up.

The whole, “I’m not interested in love because I can’t get over a heartbreak” plot line isn’t fresh but I don’t mind that— i DO mind, tho, that the “revenge” is over the most immature BS, it’s so ironic how her friends called her mature when she gets rejected in the most tame way— like, maybe she could’ve worded it a tad nicer, but it was mean enough to warrant REVENGE like omfg—

To be fair, the only "revenge" she initially wanted was standing the girl up. She only when with a more extreme revenge when it looked like her new pet had asked her out and then immediately went off with another girl and the next day showed up with yet another girl.

For a gag-a-day comic, there is a shocking amount of continuity in this story.

A reference I never thought I'd see. A Popeye reference! I'm not going crazy and misremembering Hassan Chop!

Wouldn't it be a Soul Eater Reference with Maka, Sid, and Shinigami chops?

Also, speaking of references, what was the reference at the end of the first chapter?

So, she found the cat ears in the school's prop storage. Did she find the tail their too, or did she just have that on her, in case she ever had an opportunity to use it?

^That's Tifa

I ... What? How did I even make that mistake?

^I wouldn't say Odd, but for me, the ship felt unexpected. I’ve watched the movie many times and never really considered them as a ship. The same goes for the Gogo x O-Ren fan art I’ve been seeing lately, it's not odd, just unexpected. At least, that’s how I felt at first. But honestly, the Gogo x O-Ren art is starting to grow on me. (^v

To be fair, this is the same artist who also gave us Yu-Gi-Oh themed The Devil Wears Prada fanart.

Why is Aeris's hair green?

Are you sure A isn't the intro to the lewd fantasy and B is the romcom?

Is there something about The Devil Wears Prada that makes it particularly odd for DS?

It's a safe assumption to make that Ashido was in that chair earlier.

Oh. That's not a bight mark, it's the sign of an appreciative spectator.

Going by the cardboard wings and fake halo, that angle may not be as holy as she claims.
