There's also the sadness of Kuuko having to watch the village she's supposed to protect starve to death without being able to interfere, and Yukime not knowing why Kuuko didn't appear anymore. It's like when your girlfriend isn't texting back, but worse. And coupled with the existential horror of your god not answering, despite you knowing she's real.

And yes, we need Emi to get Yukime out of the friend zone after 400 years. She's the only character in the whole manga who is good with people.

How can she love snowy days if she died frozen in the cold lol she must be a fool madly in love xD

Well, from her point of view that was the day she was finally reunited with the woman she loved, and got to be with her forever. And she was starving to death already anyway, might as well go out dramatically.

As I see it, Kuuko isn't responsible for Yukime's death, since she probably would've starved even if she didn't visit the shrine so much. If everything was fine in the village and she'd frozen to death anyway, this would've been even darker (and a bit too melodramatic).
But it's also understandable that Kuuko seems to feel some guilt anyway, the way you feel guilty for not being able to help someone even if it's not really your fault.

Pardon me, but it's pronounced NEEEEEERDS.

I'm not saying that Kuuko is obliged to marry her or anything, just that it now seems weird how it's been portrayed as some kind of secret crush that Kuuko either doesn't notice or pretends to not notice. It's also unusal for Yukime to be this open about loving Kuuko. Not complaining, it just feels quite weird considering what we've seen before.

Also this girl literally lived a life of solitude and died alone in the snow just because she wanted to be with her, the least she could do would be to not pretend that they only hold hand for platonic reasons. And dismissing Yukime's statement that this was super romantic was kind of a dick move as well.

Tl;dr: I still ship them to pieces, but I feel that Kuuko has crossed the line between trickster and just plain cruel.

I mean, I love this chapter, and it's beautiful and adds a lot to Yukime's character. There's also some nice hints of Kuuko having similar feelings in return.

At the same time, it now seems impossible that Kuuko and Nene haven't picked up on how super gay Yukime is. Before it kinda felt like she had just been too shy to really confess, but here she's really open with being in love with Kuuko. Which is of course great, but makes Kuuko look kind of a jerk (even more than her usual) for acting like she's oblivious to Yukime's feelings. She now has no excuse for doing the whole "I'm gonna get into close physical contact with you and then pass it off as a joke or come up with excuses like regulating your magic through hand holding" shtick and still pretend that it's not kinda cruel.

With all due respect to the shippers, I feel that if Emi was romantically interested in Mahoro, she would've went for it already. She's not subtle.

Except she's not taking the initiative, it's Kase-san saying the hotel line.

For all the cuteness in relationship, why did they pick such ugly cats? Did they think: "I really want to see that bob-tailed scrunchy-faced monstrosity of a cat every day"?

They're lesbians, ugly cats are part of the deal. It's like with gay men and ugly dogs.

I mean, she does start out having that kinda shitty "be careful around that girl, I've heard she's gay" attitude in the beginning, but I'll let it slide because we were all shitty in high school, and that "warning" let Yamada know that she actually had a chance with Kase-san.
And once they got together, she's been nothing but supportive and hasn't treated her best friend any different.

That time Yukime almost accidentally killed Mahoro over shaved ice was pretty fatally serious. And they literally had to decide if they should kill a demon or not a couple of chapters ago.

Speaking of that, Anna deserves credit for her courage. I really like how she's clearly scared (as we all would be, if we knew there were invisible gods and demons around us at all time, and that we were haunted), but is powering through anyway thanks to her trust in her sister and her wanting to get along with everyone, even things that scare her. She's strong, in her own way.

This situation is so gay that she even sprouts a bonus one.

Having a threesome involving your mom isn't gross as long as you don't touch each other.

Is it even legal for a couple to be this outrageously adorable?

Yuru Yuri is like if someone had half a chapter worth of actual yuri and tried to pad it out with hundreds of chapters with completely no yuri at all. Why isn't this just labelled subtext?

Robert spin-off when?

Neck kisses are underrated.

Your average Dynasty reader can't comprehend that the latest development won't necessarily be the last one. It's weird.

Still, Entoma is being a jerk.

Also, remember that she's literally an undead monster, feeding on the blood of the loving against their will. Her being picky about what she eats is kind of the least of her sins.

Pretty much the stone age version of an unmarked van with "free candy" written on it.

Kidaha wouldn't lose so many wives if she wasn't kind of a creep, just saying.

In the original Dracula novel, Dracula was killed with a Bowie knife. So I think Fujimiya having a bunch of those might be a reference to that.

Diana wants a mustache ride.

I'm glad they included the mole in the diagram, I'd be so confused otherwise.

Although I find it a bit curious that they've been dating over a month now, and presumably have had a lot of sex during this time (I mean, what else is there to do during a cross continental road trip?), yet Elizabeth hasn't been fingered yet. Despite her being very excited by the idea.

I'm okay with kissy vampires if they're perky and upbeat like this one, and not brooding all the time.

Can we talk about how good this artist is at drawing kisses?

This one is oooold, really takes me back.

Nebby likes to watch.
