So seeing Kii burrow through the snow makes me wonder: how do normal people perceive it when the ayakashi directly interact with the physical world? Do they just see the snow spontaneously generating a Kii-sized trench? Is the snow trench only visible to people who can see ayakashi?

Also I wonder if we're going to get a part 3 to the whole Kuuko/Yuki thing; there was definitely something going on with them in this chapter.

I can already see the entire afterlife starting a civil war when Kanna dies.

It’s that or this is the origin story of Kanna, Godless Queen of the Underworld.

What an abrupt ending , I think dynasty-scans should've added What the fuck am I reading? tag

Really? It’s short but it told a complete story and nothing in it really defied reality—it’s a situation that could happen exactly as depicted in real life.

Most things with that tag are far more bizarre than just having an abrupt ending.

Check back with me when that lily starts talking or something.

ch. 127 takes place the one day akari's bag isn't full of disposable chopsticks

And also when Chitose isn’t around to cover for her.

It turns out androids don’t dream of electric sheep. More like mutant rabbits that can fly.

Not so much a love triangle as a love line segment.

“Private chat” and then the chapter ends with the text bubble going to a dark gradient.

RIP Hana.

Am I the only one who had the Inception sound playing in his head while reading this?

Basically any time the narrative pulled back a diegetic level or the chapter changed.

The more I see of Chitose when she’s being used beyond the nosebleed gag the more I like her; she’s just so...nice. I guess it’s for the better we don’t get her with Akari more, lest someone literally be killed with kindness.

Its a rarity to see an accepting parent in a yuri manga, its even rarer to see a supporting one who tries to get their gay daughter a date.

Not only that, I think Mr. Honami actually has a clearer idea what’s happening than said gay daughter.

Oh boy! Well, that answered one swapping question

On another note: I like that Ayu, likes Haruko for who she is on the inside

it doesn't answer a thing.
ayu isn't a swapper u know, so the result is obvious

What we know so far

  • You can't swap with animals
  • Swapping twice, leads to a regular kiss
  • Lip contact is the only method
  • You and your partner have to be conscious

Now there are 2 more factors to consider
Either you can't swap, while already swapped, or you can't swap with a normal person

By next chapter, this revelation should be cleared up

I was actually under the impression that swappers can only swap with their designated partner, although no one’s tested that. So no matter who Natsuko kisses nothing will happen unless it’s Haruko.

...Swamp...team?

Is this some game developer lingo that I'm missing a pun on?

Or is it really just that random?

The cover page implied Momo was bustier than
Hajime, and the second panel corrects that.

Largely just an effect of everyone standing at different angles relative to the viewer methinks...

Also fun fact, breast size isn't static throughout a woman's life, even after puberty. The cast is largely in their young adulthood, and the younger of them (Momo, Aoba, Nene, etc.) aren't even 100% done growing. Beyond that, a woman's breasts can go up and down in size over large enough periods of time.

...not that I think that's what's happening here.

Their friends totally know.

That’s how I want this to end: on the punchline that the “it’s a secret” line they’ve been repeating every chapter was 100% false and their friends have been aware the whole time.

Wait, I didn’t follow what Kamuri did with the ring at all. Something about a string?

I like how at the end Leeza all but turns to the audience and says “the moral of the story is...”

I will admit, I saw the twist at the end coming, but it stretched my suspension of disbelief a little.

I mostly find it hard to believe that Riko somehow managed to complete the transfer procedures to a school in Tokyo without her guardian ever being involved or informed, and thus ruining the twist ending because her mom would know about it.

Otherwise, I enjoyed the series as a whole, but that felt like a plot hole for the sake of comedy to me.

I think the best part of this chapter was imagining the look on the camerawoman's face whenever she was off-panel or we could only see the back of her head.

So, if she has no magic resistance, why has no one hit her with petrify or ko, or something else along those lines.

To be fair, I believe the story established that Goblin's usual stomping grounds is one for mostly newbie adventurers. If this series uses the established RPG ailment spell tropes, that things like petrify or death would be mid to late tier spells newbie adventurers wouldn't have access to. Sleep, especially a single target sleep, is generally an early game spell.

At least if my knowledge of classic Final Fantasy is anything to go by.

Those effects might also take level into account in this world, and since Goblin is cap level...

Also also, they might also be slow casts, and she oneshots anything.

Unfortunately, in Japan, dryers are just less common as a rule; they're not culturally perceived as "necessities" but rather as "luxuries". Not to mention, their apartment might not have the space for one, nor are dryers particularly cheap to buy on a college student's budget (well, discounting help from parents anyway).

That being said, this incident is a pretty good reason to change their minds about dryers.

Strictly speaking, やおい 'yaoi' is the Japanese term for gay porn aimed at straight females (as opposed to 薔薇 'bara', gay porn for the tastes of gay men). I don't know of any Japanese term that is the male equivalent to 'yuri', that is, everything that is gay. (Or of any specific term for 'lesbian porn', for that matter)

People always use 'shonen ai' in forums I read, or is that not a real thing in Japan?

As I understand, in the States (Or I guess, in most English speaking nations?) "shounen ai" is used for non explicit homosexual male lovin'. However, in Japan, "yaoi" just sort of encompasses all homosexual male stuff, explicit or no. Over there (Again, if I'm understanding it right) "shounen ai" literally means what it translates into "boys' love" and it has pedophilic connotations, and isn't really used at all.

So Renka got her finger sucked on, huh? Going by this page, I am certainly looking forward to the Rikka chapter ohoho~

Wow, really good catch there. Though how does one end up sucking blood there...?

Reference.

i endorse lesbian vampires

But what if they ran against lesbian robots?

Then the lesbian mermaids would win. Duh.

You know that lesbian werewolves are just biding their time to swoop in and take it all.

The lesbian werewolves don't care for winning. They just want the lesbian mermaids.

I think we're totally discounting the possibility of lesbian centaurs here. They're the secret dark horse candidates.

In my experience, static electricity has just as much to do with the clothes you're wearing as the person. I used to have this coat that was basically a car battery...
