^I have no idea what you are talking about. Back when FFVII was relevant there was more Tifa x Aerith art and fanfics than you could ever consume. The remake just created a resurgance.

People who've read the My Next Life as a Villainess light novel, would y'all recommend the anime? I'm interested in watching the anime, but I vaguely recall someone saying that any possibility of yuri disappears partway through the series. According to briefly reading through good ol' TV Tropes, it seems that's true for one girl but not for the other two? I'm kinda hesitant to watch it since I'll probably be annoyed if it's not a yuri end, but, yeah, what'd y'all say?

I don't know about the LN, but the manga is currently on the friendship route, because Bakarina is a dense bi-harem protag who doesn't understand anything

^ Oh, wow, do you remember the chapter number?

Bonus chapter right after Itou's health hiatus. It's called 68.5 apparently.

With all the progress the recent chapters are making, I wonder which will come first: Momo and Shamiko confessing their love for each other, or Mikan openly admitting that Ugallu is indeed her daughter?

Well... Mikan already did that in one of the recent chapters. Because it gets her likes on her Twitter.

Actually it was because Ugallu is a qt who is honest about wanting her to be her mama.

Ah, yes, forgot about that. Well, do magical girls have a salary? Or is it with those coupons they receive when the commit genocide?

Magical girls collect stamps to get any wish fulfilled. And it does not require genocide. The goal of the Light clan is to make Dark Clan "unable to affect the world" aka seal them. Killing Dark Clan members is only a last resort, although how a magical girl goes about their hunts is up to them. They have a shocking level of autonomy. So there might indeed be magical girls who indiscriminately slaughter any Dark clan member they find.

It does not seem like magical girls get money unless that's what their "wish" entails after finishing a stamp card. Sakura might have made some money by saving people or completing a task, maybe she was already rich to begin with, who knows? She has definitely invested in real estate in this town she protects and owns like half the area. Momo seems to have no interest in any of that though, so she probably doesn't investigate.

Brigitte is a German name. Just like Birgitt. Most likely a mix up by the devs.

Man this was relatable. What were momos parents occupation again? She seems to be quite lenient with how she spends her money. But god, how could you not fall silent, when the one you long for sits in front of you in a stunning outfit.

What parents? Momo is an orphan who was adopted by Sakura.
Sakura is super rich, but considering she is inside Shamiko right now, Momo can do with her money as she pleases.

Yuri? All I see is two fujoshis reconvening after they joined the manga industry- gets yuri goggles forcefully stabbed into eyes

Ah yes, Yuri indeed, now I see it. Mostly by virtue of being blinded.

Both characters regret the encounter. Landlady regrets asking her to do it in the first place while Kozuka obviously regrets doing it, but her later regret will be not remembering properly/being a pillow princess or to that effect.

While Kozuka says she regrets it at the very beginning, ultimately the turn-out is leaning towards her having enjoyed it and slowly opening up to a gay relationship. She has not experienced any emotional trauma from it.

Ritsuka on the other hand has been emotionally hurt and self-loathing because of what she did and basically recited the title directly. I think it is quite clever how the author misled who the title was refering to.

This is flat out wrong. Ritsuka literally acknowledged that it was wrong because Kozuka was drunk. She absolutely knew that she was drunk too and couldn't legally consent while she had sex with her.

I don’t remember Landlady admitting that she knew Kozuka was nearly blackout drunk when she asked for sex. I only know she accepts that Kozuka was shit faced drunk after Kozuka stated she doesn’t remember what happened.

The first panel has Ritsuka noticing the drinks. The second panel has her scratching her head saying “guess you were kind of drunk,” which for me means before/during the sexual encounter, she wasn’t really paying attention to her surroundings (I mean she didn’t take the time to notice all the beer since she was busy fondling those f cups) and genuinely believed Kozuka was lucid enough for consent not to be impaired.

Uhm... it's nearly impossible not to notice someone is sloshed, especially when you kiss them. She might not have expected her to be black-out drunk, but the statement "guess you were kinda drunk" implies that she noticed beforehand.

https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/even_if_it_was_just_once_i_regret_it_ch01#7.

She insists that Kozuka consented, which leads me to think that at the time of said sexual encounter, she definitely thought Kozuka was coherent enough to agree.

I interpret that statement as an emotional defense, rather than a reasonable belief. But that is up to you I suppose.

But maybe you’re right and I missed something. I may need to re read the whole thing. But so far, based on what I’ve read/remember, my interpretation is that Ritsuka didn’t know Kozuka’s impaired consent drunk state when Kozuka took her up on her offer.

Look... even if you believe that she did not notice she was drunk, however unrealistic that may be, it does not change the fact that Kozuka was not capable of consent. It is still a huge mistake that Ritsuka regrets. Because she did not want to take advantage or abuse the one she loves.

^But it is Onee-chan who has to reach down to seal the deal.

Putting labels on each other tends to just create rifts and strawmen. Labels can protect or they can attract unwarranted hate. Points may be lost under preconceptions and trench wars.
So that's why instead of saying "I am leftist, so this is my stance" it would be better to say "This is my stance and that coincides with leftists". Same with conservatives, centrists or whatever else you can find. Stuff is never purely black & white or left & right.

Most forums (sometimes even this site) are certainly famous for mudslinging and ad hominems, which can at least be mitigated by not using useless labels.

I was more thinking along the lines of an OVA or something.Ain't gonna get more than that even if there were 5 volumes. It's not a kirara manga.

1) OVAs are barely a thing anymore; the few that aren't continuations of a TV series are mostly test bubbles for a TV series. 2) Citrus and WataTen got full series. Yuri Hime is perfectly willing to invest a bit when they have a hit on their hands

Kase-san would disagree.

Yeah that's the problem... Citrus and Wataten are insanely popular, whether you believe they are high quality or not. Pocha Climb is clearly a more niche series... even among yuri which is already niche. Unless its a flagship like YagaKimi or Ctirus you shouldn't get your hopes up for a TV series. Or they pick dumpster fires that will at least stir a big reaction like Netsuzou Trap or Happy Sugar Life.

As for people describing this as rape. Again that's a completely false statement and a misuse of the word. For rape to occur the sexual act must not be consensual. Prostitution and rape are not synonyms.

Do you not understand that a person cannot legally consent while drunk? It is not exactly rape, but it is not consensual. This is not about prostitution, because if she had been sober Kozuka would never have done it. Ritsuka abused her vulnerable state (faced with eviction, having no alternatives and being drunk) to have sex with her. This is even acknowledged by herself. The title of the story itself is about her regret of having done it against Kozuka's will.

Everything after the initial one night stand was actually a conscious decision by Kozuka, so those are fine. There is no reason to downplay that the initial situation was bad, because the characters know that it was. They are slowly making up for a mistake.

And Landlady believed there to be consent, even was hurt and upset when Kozuka implied there wasn't, because she didn't know Kozuka was drunk and incapable of realizing/remembering her actions.

This is flat out wrong. Ritsuka literally acknowledged that it was wrong because Kozuka was drunk. She absolutely knew that she was drunk too and couldn't legally consent while she had sex with her.

Give the familiar some mana. Choco flavored ~

^It was always great. Never stopped being great. Will forever be great.

Tifa isn't usually this shy, but it's cute, so it must be right.

Top vs top, but without tops please.

Onee-chan better think long and hard about how well she can sleep on a prison bed before she makes a move.

This is a reference to the first time Shamiko introduced Momo to Ryo. In the manga Momo was shocked to be called a friend, but clearly now it's not enough anymore. lol

Nobu is biting her fist somewhere- Actually nah. Nobu is pretty dumb, she probably doesn't care. If she did she would already be steamrolling through there to take control of the situation.

He might be an awkward try-hard, but he always pulls through in the end. Or pushes up.

The idea that a harem is about competition for a single pair relationship is just a cliche based on how many romcoms end up. It's not at all what a harem is actually supposed to be. Whether you go by the origin of the term with a Sultan's many concubines or not, there are countless harem stories where the protagonist is actually in a relationship with the girls (or guys in reverse harem). A real harem would be polyamory by default, but it doesn't change the fact that the term is far more precise to describe the constellation, so that's why it's used.

This is basically Hololive vtubers irl

I wish lol

I can read 300+ page books in one sitting, thanks. It pains me to have to point out the terribly obvious but the jab was at the utter inanity of the soi-disant debate.

Oh I am fully aware of your pretentiousness, don't you worry. As usual your preferences do not define anything. You don't get to decide what conversational topics are acceptable or "nane". Done with you. Shoo shoo.
