It’s a bit contrived with it’s yuri cliches I guess and I don’t really see it having much longevity, but eh, it’s fun enough that I’ll probably keep coming back.

So this is gonna kinda be like gay Takagi-san isn't it?

Shoutout to the translator for putting the correct syllables in the haiku.

Damn that first lewd image almost counted as a jumpscare with how sudden it was.

Ah these are those chapters that were done by someone else on Mangadex. No wonder they seemed familiar. I forgot those weren't uploaded here.

Also: $40 for a large pizza? And this is the cheap place?

Remember with yen you have to take off two zeroes, so it’s actually less than five bucks American which is really cheap for a whole pizza. Especially one as big as they said that was.

As for this chapter, that mascot reminds me of a certain blue badger...

Also reminds me of of Lappy from Astral Chain.

There's a lot of kids that need a good home via adoption.

This.

Wait, people are mangry at Lycoreco for being baity? I thought people enjoy that, hence why vtubers are popular around here.

Vtubers are idols and also kindof sort of real people, even if they’re playing a sort of character. That just being yuri teasing makes sense. In a story, be it manga or anime, teasing the idea of yuri and then not going through with anything other than vague undertones is extremely frustrating. Especially since it’s so common. I still haven’t started watching Witch From Mercury and I won’t until I know whether they commit or not. I’ve just been disappointed so many times and it sucks every time so I just don’t want to deal with it anymore.

Maybe this time it won't be bait...

Guys that was clearly Carby not Kirby.

What is a friend anyway? You kiss friends, right? Like with tongue? That's sound right...

The next trial will involve oil, LOTS of oil

While I guess that’s sweet, the story told you so little about them it was hard to feel much of anything.

I feel like we should pair the Saori/Shizuku tag with the bdsm tag at this point.

The sisters are both problematic doms.

I love how these bitches are like "yeah we're still totally normal for going into the otherside as much as we do" and then they just like actively hallucinate, have blackouts on the regular, and are also physically changed vis a vis Sorawo and her eye, and Toriko with her hand. Like they really do think the otherside isn't getting to them...

You gotta remember how weird both of them were even prior to the series starting. Toriko was already deep into Satsuki’s bullshit, and Sorawo was so disconnected from normal life she thought her story about her childhood being fucked up by a cult was normal.

Survival tip: it is NOT warmer to "strip to share body heat directly." That's basically just a porn plot. It's much warmer to share body heat while fully dressed. Then again, if you're just trying to seduce your girlfriend, I guess that makes sense at least. But not in an actual survival situation.

Okay, but can we talk about how her beautifully elegant girlfriend in an immaculate suit is bringing her dinner...and it's McDonald's?

Think about wife.
Regret.

I suspect it is less that Utena isn't into mind break and more that she is disgusted when a magical girl specifically is the one being broken by a villain. She puts magical girls on the highest pedestal, after all.

True. She’d probably be fine breaking a fellow villain. Hell she basically has. But if a magical girl gives up she’s completely turned off.

Anyway, in regards to the shipping I stand by my early statement that the only proper end is Utena sitting on a throne surrounded by her mind-broken magical girl sex slaves. So... poly end, I guess. Or maybe Kiwi can be the official consort while the rest are "toys."

This is how my pervy mind thought the story was going to go at first. But chapter 10 kind of put the kibosh on that as Utena herself seems to HATE mindbreak to the point she was disgusted with Azul for giving in. She would have to go through a pretty significant (and villainous) character shift for this to be her end goal.

Mission failed. We’ll get ‘em next time.

It's kind of wild to think how this manga is really more Shiho's story than the supposed main characters. I think the drama involving her has been twice as many chapters as the initial romance arc at this point.

Are we just dropping the Harumin and Matsuri plot?

I knew they were going to give her a “tete” partner in her vtuber career, though to be honest I kind of figured it would be used as a plot catalyst to make the main pair closer.
