Pyramid are easy to enter [To complete the task]

How to invade Egypt 101

Based on what I know from films and TV, pyramids are relatively easy to enter. It's getting out alive that's the hard part.

Just take it from one of BelarusBall's oldest videos: Egypt (modern) led Nepal, Israel and Poland for a tour of Kufu's pyramid, but then a door suddenly closed behind them. After a lot of shenaningans and traps and a mummified III or IV dynasty Egypt escaped from his sarcophagus. Egypt, Nepal and Israel had already died beforehand, and Poland was very lucky to get out of that pyramid, not jus alive, but unharmed as well (the mummified ancient Egypt died by jumping through an opening halfway up the pyramid in a failed attempt to prevent Poland from making it out alive).

I was not expecting to come in here and get an egypt/pyramid lesson.

Mari revives animals
Everyone: "Ew gross"

Mari uses magic inadvertently and has no clue what's going on
Mari's mother: "yOu rUiNed mY liFe!"

I swear to god, there is no sign of intelligence anywhere.

LOL damn, this manga's great. I love all the twists and it's pretty interesting if you think about it. I wonder if it's the push and pull of consciousness of Ouka's mind that keeps her in a coma and what brings her out of it. Since both Chihaya and Ouka are a figment of the real Ouka's imagination, I wonder if they're the embodiment of some kind from Ouka's consciousness (or lack thereof). Maybe it's all metaphorical, maybe I'm reading too much into it. But it's interesting nevertheless.

Is this the end? It feels like the end and I'm fine with this ending. The chase goes on but instead it becomes the other way around, and who knows, once Ouka wins, maybe it reverses again, another push and pull, a neverending cycle of life, death, and the will to live. Who's to say that Ouka's sanity isn't already shaky, who's to say that any of what she's thinking is real.

Anyway, that was fun :)

I mean I still keep rereading it, knowing it'll never update. The definition of insanity.

So what is a Hakushaku? Looking it up, the only translation I got was "Count" or "Earl"

That's because it was suposs to be Hasshaku not Hakushaku.

Thought it was a Crane or a Bird from the Po-Po sounds.

Edit: Was that a Hitachi Wand reference at the end?

I wasn't actually expecting her main to be Akira actually lol. It's cool to see a poly relationship without drama. I can't wait

Why do you even need a PS4, a Switch and a Xbox for anyway ? You will never had time to play with each console anyway.

Sure you do, good games don't come every day and as a working adult with no kids, you can manage from 2 to 5 hours of free time.............................but yeah why an xbox too uggh

Yeah Playstation, Nintendo and a decent PC gives basically full coverage (not that Microsoft has much going on in exclusives these days)

As someone who does not own an xbox and never well, I second all of this.

It's like I understand it and yet kinda don't at the same time and it's doing some sort of mindblown magic on me.

I'm definitely not entirely comfortable with this chapter, but I'll stick around for a while, hopefully it gets better

I'll be blunt, the low point for this kinda stuff is probably chapter 5 and then it gets less overtly aggressive from that point on. I'm thinking of releasing double chapters to blunt the impact slightly, if possible.

I don't think it's gonna help avoid the complains but I'll stick with it until the end! if anything, just use a tag like dubious consent or a warning page at the start, and if they read it anyway and get mad, that's on them.

Of course, I get it, it's more beautiful when everything works out mutually, but if it isn't the case and you're fully aware you just have to make a choice.

God I wish Dynasty used consent tags more consistently I'm real tired of being blindsided with rape scenes.

If there is a rape scene, it's generally tag as such you know. Here it's just that MC is guillable and the two neighboors are playing on it. They're just more aggresive (and lesbians) version of Hino-san.

Usually only if it's violent rape rather than that Japanese trope where the character is visibly distressed and keeps saying no but I'm expected to interpret that as her being coy.

Consent is sexy I wish they didn't always have people say 'no' over and over ugh.

I wonder if that's an 'actual japanese culture is this way in regards to being in sexually charged situations' thing or just a 'japanese media is this way' thing (probably both)

I suspect it's an artistic exaggeration of the existing societal expectation that women be extremely demure about wanting sex. There's a pretty massive genre of porn for the fetish of 'innocent/pure' women being corrupted into enjoying sex.

tbf, it's hot. Also to be fair, it's only hot if the innocent girl want to be corrupted, and is actively into her corruption. That's some A+ shit.

Consent is sexy, and this kind of stuff is only really good if there's a safeword involved and everyone fully understands and communicates what they're comfortable with. Which is something that's always left behind the scenes even though it's probably the most important step. And then people think it's normal and think people saying "no" is just for fun when it's not.

Ah, I see. Because everyone is gone, Satou feels entitled to her parental role to the point she couldn't allow herself to be selfish.

Though, I can sense there's probably more about the sisters. There's probably a reason why her sister is #1 top priority, perhaps something bad will happen if her sister is left alone?? (self-harming for example) And after her sister is all good and stable, Satou still couldn't leave her.

I think it might be the opposite, I think Satou san is the one who needed Subaru for emotional support more than anyone, and after losing her grandma she was the only reason to keep going so she wants to repay that by making sure she grows without problem. Subaru realizes that but due to her age she doesn't have a valid argument to convince her sister to be happy on her own, after all, she still needs to study and she can't pay her own education. So at this point it was impossible to change the situation until the miracle called donuts happened..........sorry I meant to say Doughnuts

I definitely think you're right on Asahi needing Subaru for emotional support than the other way around. I think without the crutch of being a parental guardian for Subaru, Asahi would not know what to do with herself.

Also, this manga seems to really emphasize on being alone and I'd be 100% okay if Hinako is an Ace Lesbian xD

Tbh, I'd rather see Aki and Yori together than Himari and Yori.

I second this motion!

I only want to see Aki succeed because I like her more and she's more sure of her feelings instead of dragging Yori around xD

Ethically id say this is a far cry from extortion, shes literally paying off her debt with things like hugs and gaming together, shes not forcing anything and the main character has definitely never been made uncomfortable or been raped as some people are claiming, you can still say no and not participate after a few beers as she had in this manga, she surely wasnt black out drunk, she was an active participant.

You cannot claim rape after a consensual activity either. Thats like lending someone your pen for a day and then claiming they stole it the next day because you're uncomfortable that some of the ink got used.

Whoa, hold on, yes you can. Being drunk is not consent and she was most definitely drunk to the point that she didn't remember.
Irregardless of the manga and the contents, this is a fact that should remain true, in that consent is key, and the first time they had sex most definitely did not have consent.

On topic: I get where Hara is coming from with falling for a straight girls and believing it'll go nowhere. She also must have either internalized, or been told, or both, that women loving women is disgusting or whatever which is why she's parroting back the words. I'm curious where this all goes and the art is interesting, they're all very thicc which is kinda awesome? I want that hoodie.

It's a little refreshing to see how gay Koumoto is. She's so deeply aware of her feelings that she's afraid of all her actions being misconstrued when Segawa thinks literally nothing of it all, but it's like, Koumoto wants more and lusts + love Segawa but doesn't want to do anything to jeopardize their relationship which, mood.

In any case, I think most mangakas don't have the luxury of slow pacing because they never know if it'll be popular enough to not be axed, so I appreciate the pace because at the very least we might get to the end quicker.

Looks like it's off to a good yuri start. I can't wait for more. I had no idea about this being a reboot, and I'm curious about the old version, but I like it so far.
