This was sooo satisfying. I always wondered why the bullied didn't just find a way to break their limbs. Maybe I'm violent? But beating the shit out of those three is a small price to pay for making sure they never bully anyone ever again!

If they actually did what they did irl they'd end up in front of a court. It's stupid, and wouldn't ever work. ^^

Doesn't mean it's not satisfying in fiction.

I mostly just lol'd. Too exaggerated for me to really take seriously, especially when the two of them go all psycho.

Ha, that was great. Love it.

Ha, so they are wondering about the same thing we did ...

But, yeah, pretty sure the author would never go for some "twist" where either one of the swap-couples gets a separate girl friend (think of all the possible plots...) or some poly-solution.

More commonly known as "The Sensationally Magnificent Prince" ... yes, who hasn't been called that once or twice in their life?

How about Gay For Pay?

Paid one is gay without pay, too. Does this tag still apply? This is just prostitution.

Sometimes you just have to fuck something out of your system. Clearly the little heroine is unable to move on without resolving her ... tensions.

Also, I'm interested in what role glasses-friend is gonna play in the future.

She's gonna get raped.

Teru is the Big Boss so she can't do anything but win. It'd be an odd result if she didn't kick everyone else's arse, I'd say.

Shame there was no "plot" chapter before this match. Between matches is usually when the plot advances ^^;

Yeah that'd be bad to have an adaptation of an horror story :(

It's an entire slot in a season wasted that could have been yet another generic harem anime! What where they thinking?!

(tbh I don't think this'll work as an anime, but whatever)

Now, the real question is: Is she getting all the girls because she's socially awkward, or is she socially awkward around ladies because they keep throwing themselves at her and things get a little distressing after the fifth kabedon of the day.

Her anxiety developed when all the girls at kindergarten always wanted to play Doctor and Patient with her ...

To my knowledge, japanese people tend to look down on name puns, so maybe that's all there is to it.

Word play is commonplace in manga character names and titles.

Well, people tend to look down on manga, so maybe that's rather less contradictory than it first appears to be ;)

That Akari hairstyle is the great anime hairstyle ever. Even if it's only shown in a single scene.

Yeah ... but you're not under Japanese society pressure or standards when saying that.

Also, they are already living together. Naturally, anyone she's coming out to will know that whoever she lives with is gay, too. So essentially you are forcing her to come out whether she wants to or not - that can and should be handled more delicately than "those are my parents so it's none of your business". You know, the entire pesky "I'm in a relationship so I actually have to talk about things with my partner" stuff ^^

Sure Koyuki was praised by classmates in ch.1 but that has had zero bearing on the character development.

? Isn't their "high opinion" pressuring her, therefore she feels isolated, therefore this friendship is so important to her? And it does keep her from doing stuff that she thinks would "disappoint" others, so she needs to be persuaded to do other stuff ...

Why is there never any pet play ...

But it's still darn cute, so it's forgiven.

There's at least a dozen video game characters in the latest chapter. Look at the background characters a bit more closely ^^;

I'm also leaning towards some relative of the teacher's with that attitude and hair.

Ratri has a moon in her hair. This one has a sun. And Ratri's "convenient" absence is suspicious.

Well. I'm not saying it's impossible. But it strikes me as stupid in this context nonetheless.

The feeling I get is just that the author decided to throw in all classic tropes - all-girls school. Flower gardens. Arranged marriages. Deranged psychopaths. It feels to me just like a "I'm picking this classic setting and adding a few twists to it"; I'm a bit dubious about how concerned this story is with anything beyond this.

It’s more like we’re sitting next to somebody at a bar who turns and says, “Hey, you want to hear something crazy?”

It's pretty much only the "density" that makes this so crazy - you could probably pick each singular "incident" and find real life occurrences that fit. Some of the fucked up stuff here isn't even rare.

But I agree, I don't think the author is particularly making any sort of comment about anything (I find that manga generally don't ^^).

Mh. I'm frankly not convinced. It strikes me more like the chapter about sleep-kissing, and testing when swapping happened during a kiss ... it circles closer to the center of what's going on. But it's not an all-encompassing answer ^^;

e: didn't consider the swapper<->no swapper angle either. So really we actually don't even know why it didn't work: didn't it work because they aren't romantically compatible? Didn't it work because she's not in her own body? Or did it not work because the other somehow is a general "non-swapper" (and if so, is that what humans generally are, or is she maybe some sort of "null" exception?)?

The fact that it is now proven that they can swap with only their one specific partner kind of contradicts all this. Their ability can only be used with their soul mate and thats pretty damn romantic.

It might simply mean they can't body-hop. A -> B -> C isn't possible. Doesn't mean that A -> C isn't as possible as A -> B.
