I read through this in a sitting and I don't understand what was all that about. It was like watching a Mexican telenovela with the way the plot kept getting contrived and at points, outright dumb. It left a lot of plotlines without a satisfactory resolution or a resolution at all but it still had some weird charm.

Rissa's face in the last panel tho

The timeline where Kiara and Callia actually swapped models.

Funnily, this pic is supposed to be set in their student days.

I keep mixing them up with Shino and Ren

Oooooh, so THAT is how Kobo got conceived

By the way, this one got licensed and will be published in Mexico next year

I love Noefure's reaction in this

Great news everyone! I've started a Tropes page for this work: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Manga/TheFedUpOfficeLadyWantsToServeTheGreatVillainess

Awesome! I'll make sure to help adding examples later.

I enjoyed the subtlety with which Lapis let Diana know that Natori is hers, just the perfect degree of pettiness and veiled threat that is so fitting for a ruthless villainess like Lapis. Very curious about what Gran is planning, he seems to be aware of Lapis' plans and I'm guessing that is what he revealed to Rubeus and if they are planning to use Lapis' newfound affection for Natori and Diana's crush as a way to stop Lapis' plans.

Since Diana's crush is being framed as something "darker" I wonder if her character arc will be about learning to deal with those feelings and ultimately give up on Natori.

Also, my headcanon is that Lapis and Natori did more than sleep that night.

I'm surprised at how much I'm liking this series, having a villainess actually being an evil bitch is a refreshing change of pace. And is funny how Natori is turning Diana gay by accident.

Plus you know, that delicious age gap

I get the impression that Shinohara would be a lot more affectionate if Heke weren't as irresponsible and lazy.

Just so you guys know, the fanbox pics have confirmed that Ursula (the blonde) has a dick.

The only thing we know for sure (because Sabu herself has mentioned in the afterwords of the volumes) is that she is busy.

Yuzu so gay, she can't even remember boys' faces.

I laughed out loud at this part, is so Yuzu.

Still, I find it interesting this is the first time we are tackling the School Festival scenario, which is a staple of mangas set in HS so it is curious that only a decade into, citrus is finally having it. Besides that, I wonder if this is part of a larger plan to have both Aihara Academy and Arata's school merge into a single, mixed institution. From previous chapters, it seems like funding has been a growing worry for both schools so combining them, does make sense.

So, how many chapters are left?

Heke and Shinohara are my favorite couple in this series. They are just so cute and compliment each other really well.

Good to see another new chapter of this series after so long.

Calli would be really happy with her own Frogiwiara

Can be considered cheating if is a different version of yourself?

It was pretty cute how Calli liked this pic while she waited her turn to be on stage at Buzz Rhythm Live.

I really enjoyed this chapter, even if Mei is too blunt for her own good, the fact she actually talked things with Yuzu and then she asked Himeko for advice speaks volumes of her growth as a character. It is pretty interesting that this is the second time Yuzu has felt threatened by a romantic rival and this is mainly due to the fact that Arata can offer Mei things that Yuzu doesn't believe she can. Matsuri and Harumin banter is cute and it was hilarious that Nene offered to take care of Yuzu's metaphorical sadness mushrooms.

Crossick's decline started with Tomoe's expressing the same concerns as Kiara about being overwhelmed by the ship though.

They seem to be together going by their recent off-collab.

So, how many chapters are left?
