The series itself is not listed under the author btw.

Yeah, I assumed they were waiting for a second chapter before making a dedicated block for it.

• After page 1: "Oh, thank God this artstyle isn't horribly overdone like that one about the two rival superstars; the title was making me nervous."
• After page 2: "You know, speaking of art styles, this one seems familiar. Hmm."
• After page 3: "Wait, wait. Is this-- It can't be." (click on the artist link to see what else they've done) "Oh shit, it totally is!"

I'm so, so happy to see new content from the maker of GTB. I would've liked more GTB--I think I can safely say nearly all of us would--but I'm pretty okay with anything that that person's mind creates if it's even close to what Green Tea was.

"Oh mah gaw, all this dokidoki in mah kokoro but also in mah ladyparts...!"

Fuck's sake, prez, get it together.

This scanlation got me into the light novels and they're some of my favourite books now, I was sad to see the manga end but I'm going to savour each one of these translated chapters as they come out. The work here by the scanlation team is god tier, as befits a series as good as Arioto!

Sorry, wait, what happened?

Oh no, the story about high school kids involves some of the friends feeling frustrated that they're not spending as much time together as they used to. Time to piss and moan about it on the internet because they mildly inconvenienced the romance in a way that will no doubt ultimately advance their relationship.

Yes, that is definitely the essence of people who complain about "drama" constantly, on every single story.
I remember recently having a rant about this because my thought is it's based on things being episodic. Could you imagine in the middle of a novel or a movie, people needing to complain the second any drama happens? lol.

It's times like this that I miss an upvote button for individual comments.

Age? Dang, y'all were thinking a lot tamer than what I was thinking.

Chrissakes, the pedal just punched through the floorboards! I'm Fred-Flintstone-ing this shit now!

...So.

There are two possibilities I'd like to see here:
- First, as a few people have already tossed around, the author is just doing a trope speedrun and playing it totally straight (heh).
- Or second, there's going to be a dramatic tonal/genre shift up ahead and this is all just an extended prologue.

Either way, party status is officially crazy.

Since the story is supposedly based on a game where the villainess and heroine are actually villain and heroine, I think the heroine is genuine but will somehow manage to fall for the office lady. Pretty standard for these stories. That will cause more sparks to fly between her and the villainess and OL will have to find a way to talk them both down

Just want to acknowledge that Random_Bird called it (probably) from day one. Nice going, bird.

I wonder,I wonder,what Hitomi wished for?...

To continue asserting her dominance.

She doesn't need to wish for that; she's already got it.

Hitomi was and has always been the top in that relationship. Asuma ever makes a move on her, it'll be Hitomi having a nonchalant smoke in the next panel while Asuma is the one covering her eyes and weeping on the other side of the bed. Mark my words.

This series was so suspiciously, fervently, generic at first that I kept reading, expecting a sudden left turn.

I was wrong. There's no turning here.

Only a gas pedal being mashed into the goddamn floorboards.
