Okay that’s a lot of yuri flags in just two chapters.... Does Saonji having the pickaxe and talking about raising flags slowly mean that she’s realized her own feelings for Tachibana and is going for it now? It somehow doesn’t seem like it still.

She still doesn't perceive them as her own feelings. She is still in denial/dissociated from her relationship, treating it as a yuri visual novel she is reading, rather than things she does and events that happen to her. The fact that she is thinking in terms of flags and events, instead of becoming extremely self-conscious about everything she does before Tachibana, like any hormone-driven teenager would, is pretty telling.

Yeah, it feels like it's ending. I'm crossing my fingers that it isn't. I'd love to see more stories that actually go longer after an identity reveal or whatever.

I mean, Harumi and Azusa could emigrate to the magical dimension, enlist in the magic police, buy a house, and raise a daughter together. Or something.

Though I find the idea that Minami will have to join them as an MG more likely -- and more appealing to be frank, since that would mean that rather than ending, the manga takes the first step towards building a whole team of MGs. I wonder what color Minami would be?

So judging from her transformation, those abs are natural and not from the magic form.

Fact.

is it in general seen as more ok to add dicks if they're on a girl?

On who else you want to add dicks anyway ?

Asking the real questions here.

Huh. Did we see the pink-haired girl before? Is she just a dream or an actual person who lives with her?

I admit being extremely biased in favor of Takemiya Jin's work, so while the premise admittedly still weirds me out, I am willing to approach this one like I would a Big Idea Sci-Fi: how would human interactions and society change if X happened? In this case, X = this whole ABO stuff...

How does this not have WAYYY more comments? This manga is amazing. I love the plot, characters, the Yuri(which I’m assuming will come later). And it’s not fan service so there aren’t a bunch of random crotch shots :D I love it and I can’t wait for the anime adaption.

I am very cautious about being excited here, mainly because recent years have taught me that original plot + solid worldbuilding + yuri - school setting - fanservice is a recipe for the manga getting axed after 2-3 volumes (let alone getting animated).

Chapter 7 has contained some intense ara~ara~ energy.

The bigger question is, when are they going to upgrade to Super Frens?

"It's not doxing, those are public information!" -Hololive Doxxers

Why do this series tend to finish wholesome chapters with disgusting notes...

Pretty sure it's to remind everyone that the idol industry is an ugly, ugly business, despite how much it is glamorized in the media, and creepy doxxers and stalkers are just one of the constant threats it faces.

Anachronistic Underwear on Page 6

Not clear of the meaning of that word, aside from chrono relating to time. But those panties made me feel a bit out of place in a historical setting

Yes, that is exactly what it means. "Anachronism" comes from Greek "against time", i.e. "it is inconsistent with the time period depicted here".

So Cooluby became alone because other jewels couldn't keep up with her. Does that mean azu was actually quite competent in combat, since, judging from azu's personality so far, she woulda whine to Poryu all day if she couldn't keep up with Ruby?

I'm pretty sure it's because Ruby's own skills have been slipping ever since she's been distracted by Azurite's reliable back that the latter has been able to match her.

There's a comment by Mikanuji at the end. That makes the difference... ^^

Some (useless) grown-ups cannot even have sex with alcohol...

Superhero Yuri. Maybe the protags can do voice work for that Marxist tokusatsu series everyone is talking about?

hello i would like to know where i can find this very good tokusatsu series

Erm, it's not really a series, just a one-off gag in a manga... unfortunately. :-)

They will become Super Friends

Superhero Yuri. Maybe the protags can do voice work for that Marxist tokusatsu series everyone is talking about?

The eroticism that is friends who are also each other #1 rival. I hope this turns into yuri but I have my doubts.

I dunno, Rival yuri is the spiciest kind...

It's also an interesting Reversal how Harumi is younger than Gunjou but Ruby has more MG experience than Azurite.

I guess this probably ties back into the thing about magical girls losing their power if they fall in love.

But I don't think there is anything supernatural about it? If your brain is preoccupied with thinking about your crush and potential relationships, you have less time and energy for training and professional activities. It's the same reason why office romance is often discouraged.

^ & ^^ And if my assessment of Tachibana is correct, she will be the first to suggest (in the most nonchalant and anticlimactic way possible) that they just go out already, if only to save herself the constant embarrassment of being idolized by the biggest school idol.

Is Mikanuji trying to be Kodama Naoko though?

My thoughts exactly. A person with extremely low self-esteem and one with self-esteem so high, it hurts herself and her relationships -- that's some Kodama Naoko levels of messed-up.

Didn't we go through this already a few years back?

I stand corrected: this tidbit is what I must have been remembering.

I think Utena might be gay, but I'm not sure.

I can say with utmost confidence Utena is just showing her platonic love for her friends, this is just how 14 year old girl friendships are nowadays.

Good, I was starting to get worried about this series' family-friendliness.

WHAT???????
HE'S A BIRD?!?!?!?!

A bird spirit, most likely.

You know, this chapter didn't connect with me... and I think the reason is the promise-payoff incongruence. The initial setup of the manga was a Western-style Superhero with an awkward Japanese heroine, but now over a half of the manga has been spend retreading the familiar Japanese tropes, and the arc ends in the most predictable and, lets face it, bog-standard way for manga. All the pathos lacks any punch if it betrays the previously established expectations.

Is that an etruscan ceramic boar?

Yeah, seriously, what's up with those clay cows recently? They've been popping up in, like, every other manga all of a sudden. :D

Kiwi: is head over heels for Utena, hangs out with her, try to go on dates with her, the two shares an 'if we survive this' oath, has had sex with her, is horny for aftercare. Comments: mehh

Sulfur: is mean towards kiwi. Comments: whoo ship!!

Azul: is horny for baiser bdsm. Comments: whoo ship!!

You guys are shipping the comedic parts, and i honestly dont think Utena can have a healthy relationship with anyone from tres magia

None of her potential relationships can really be described as healthy, but honestly, that's not what I am reading a fantasy comedy series for. :-)
