These two pages were cool. I really liked how the author conveyed the passage of time and her one-sided rambling with the use of the scenery and the clustered speech bubbles.

I quite enjoy these "tragic background" chapters of Shiho that absolutely do not justify her actions and basically show how petty and egocentric she's always been. Now, if the author's intent was to make her appear sympathetic to the audience... Well.

The twist(?) about what's-her-name dating Kyou was quite unexpected, now I'm curious to see whether there is really something going on between the senpais (as I thought before) or not.

Or I can just study as much as everyone else, but have four days out of five for video games.

Another user already pointed out that you'd need to do the same homework 5 times in a row, which would be incredibly tedious, but wouldn't video games also become incredibly boring themselves? You'd have to replay the same thing over and over again and all your progress would constantly be lost.

The second part kinda ruined it for me. I thought/hoped that this would be one of the rare stories where people actually move on with their lives and find happiness elsewhere, but nope, it's just another "they're stuck together now" ending. I feel like these toxic relationship endings are simply not as interesting or original as authors seem to think? And this particular story had also used the classic bi player trope—which I really wish would die already—so overall... somewhat disappointing to me.

It's the future, where robots are common, I'd be pissed if same sex marriage isn't legal world-wide at that point.

Well, robots being "common" would probably be true only for part of the globe, so...

I've always thought that it would taste sour and no, I won't test it either

I can't say I liked how the whole "surprise, she works here now!" was handled. Why would they let the president feel so heartbroken for no reason?

I am finding it more and more unbelievable that Mitsuki is unpopular when she is constantly rattling off smooth lines so easily without thinking xD

Probably because she doesn't really speak to her classmates to rattle off any smooth lines lol

Nice! Instantly added on my Eyebrow Appreciation list (yes, it's real)

I would definitely dislike this girl if she were in my class. Would I be angry at the version of her I'd imagined and not the person she really was? Possibly. Does that mean I would dislike her any less? Not really, no.

I kinda really really like the way the yamanoke scene is depicted in the novel, so maybe not my favourite chapter in the adaptation, but I have to admit that it was actually done quite well. It felt a bit weaker perhaps, because there were—inevitably—panels from an outside perspective, which ruined the effect somewhat.

But this chapter made me realise that for some reason I always pictured Sorawo's back completely bare in this scene, so I was like, right, she would be wearing a bra wouldn't she? lol

This mnga where is about a two classmate where the female blond is being touch by a female short hair with glasses she doesn't speak despite the protest of the blond until they graduate i think its colored manga

Could you be talking about this one?

Though it's an image set, rather than a manga.

Wtf is going on with the fingers behind her back?

She's holding the pinkie of her left hand in her right hand.

I mean, yeah, obviously she's a psycho, I never said she wasn't. I was only saying that I didn't think her motive at that moment was hate towards lying. You may be right and she's done something similar before as well though, I don't remember.

https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/liar_satsuki_can_see_death_ch31#18

Since she does seem to be some sort of counterpart to Tokiko from Walk to Death, I think her issue is being unable to understand any nuance in emotions and taking everything at face value. She'll accept anything said and done to her, no matter how ludicrous or abusive, as long as others also accept her as being completely sincere. Thus, being accused of lying or seeing someone lie sets her off greatly.

You have a point here. I had indeed forgotten about the incident you linked. It'll be interesting to see what her role will be later in the story, especially in comparison to Tokiko.

But yeah okay then All prez has to do is get Komachi alone and talk to her and call Satsuki a liar on something and she will basically force said thing to happen right? Since she doesn't like liars. Again she flat out tried to kill Satsuki because she lied about jumping off the building lol.

I really don't think that's what happened there. To me it seemed that Komachi thought Satsuki wanted to commit suicide, but got scared and hesitated, so she was "helping" her by throwing her off. Unless you're referring to some other incident that I don't recall.

I'm pretty sure a few times she's almost attempted to hurt either Satsuki or someone else because they lied and she doesn't like liars....

look at her face in the bottom of that image you showed that's 100% the face of a psychopath. And exactly what you said also makes her 100% evil as well. the whole "She got scared and decided she didn't want to commit suicide so she was trying to help her kill herself" Sorry That's Grade A nut job.

Okay, but this whole thing with the detergent that was supposedly oh so clever and "omigod Satsuki fell for the president's trap again", seemed so stupid? I guess it falls In the same category as all these unrealistic deaths/saves we've seen before, but this was literally on the same level as the kid's traps in Home Alone. I mean, for real now?

For a second I read the title as "As I Open My Eyes Each Day, All I Want Is To Seduce You"
Yep, time to go to bed.

Honestly, I can kind of understand why an author might not want to label their work as yuri, even if it technically would fall into that category. Yuri as a genre often feels somehow detached from wlw in real life...? (I can't explain it very well, but I think there are probably other people here who get what I mean). So it could be a way to free your work from readers' expectations. That said, I don't speak Japanese, so I have no idea what Agu actually said here, this was more of a general comment on the matter.

The friend was so fun and cute! I hope she'll appear often

And "At any rate, if we always stay like this, things might get difficult." Always? Difficult? The sister-like relationship seems fine, it doesn't seem like it will hold back Nozomi.

It would if either or both of them started a new romantic relationship.

I don't see why that would be a problem. Unless Nozomi wanted to move in with them or something, but I'd guess that, by the time their relationship reached that state, Shino would have likely already moved out. Nozomi and Shino's relationship shouldn't really get in the way of any romantic relationships (aside from some initial awkwardness perhaps). Of course that is from an outside perspective, considering the characters' personalities I suppose they would imagine it to be a much bigger deal than it actually is.

Okay, but there's really no reason to leave those locks of hair loose.

I'm uneducated. Help?

I was referring to Shiori having only half her hair tied up for whatever reason.

Okay, but there's really no reason to leave those locks of hair loose.

We haven't really been shown any real evidence that Seo has actually done any of the things she's been accused of.

That's the point of backstory.

Sure, but from what we've been shown so far, it seems that the president regards those reports as evidence, which they are not. I don't understand why you're so eager to believe that he's right and he's definitely aware and well-informed of all the students' problems or wrongdoings.

why didn't he do anything to prevent the class rep's suicide?

When the Prez's appearing? He wasn't introduce when class rep's suicide arc happened.

That was exactly my point: you talk about him as if he's some omniscient presence in the school, yet he didn't even realise that whole thing was happening (or if he did, he decided to ignore it).

Honestly, I don't think we'll ever reach an understanding, so maybe we should just let it go.

he's taking out his hatred towards a past bully onto another

Past bully? No, he's a president of the school, he knows everyone here, he's not gonna go slap a student out of nowhere, this man knows how to make a trap, meaning this man can also observe every single person here, including the teacher.

Wait what? Does that mean that when you talked about "the backstory of his hatred of bully" you were referring to Seo? And not the president's past experience with bullies?

Aren't you jumping to conclusions here? We haven't really been shown any real evidence that Seo has actually done any of the things she's been accused of. And while I could believe that she is a bully (even just to prove that Satsuki is too trusting), I don't see why I should trust the president's judgement on this. Just because he's the president of the student body, it doesn't mean that he knows and observes everyone. For many, he would likely only know what has been reported to him (as it seems to be in Seo's case). Otherwise, why didn't he do anything to prevent the class rep's suicide? If he knew, why didn't he take action? Or could it be that he's so focused on taking out the bad people, that he has no concern for saving the good?

It would make more sense (and be more compelling) if he were killing people who were going to cause another's death. That's an even bigger dillemma for Satsuki and challenges her actions directly.

You have a point here, that would be quite interesting.

And you simply cannot compare a bully to a murderer and claim that they deserve equal punishment,

I didn't say their punishment would be equal, I did mention Satsuki should teach the bully lesson, not immediately kill them.

You're right, you did say that, I misread that part.

Now, you're asking which side I'm in? It's Prez, sure his method is merciless, but why let the Bully bully more people, it's like talking to serial killer and send them to jail for 5 years and releases him, guess what? Serial killer kills more people and this time it's hard to catch him, what a perfect world.

It was this that made me think you meant that bullies would be better off dead, which certainly isn't the solution.

I agree with what [edit: BeanBeanKingdom] said about Satsuki though, even if there aren't consequences for meddling with the universe or anything of the sort, I think it's pretty clear that Satsuki's methods aren't the best either: she never plans ahead or tries to find the root of the problem, which means that her actions would only lead to temporary solutions.

I really can't see how anyone would give him any credit, when he decides to kill a student without even having actual evidence that she's done anything wrong.

They do have.

But we, as the reader, didn't see the evidence, obviously the author will put the backstory of his hatred of bully one way or another. It's just, I repeat again, the fact author made him look like a psychopath with how jerk he was invading Satsuki's personal privacy, and made his smile worse than Joker.

I disagree. The "evidence", at least the one we were shown in this chapter, was questionable to say the least: half of the supposed reports were speculations at best, yet he's taking them as justification to kill another student. Whether he has a backsktory with bullies or not is irrelevant in this case; I was talking about his dicision to off a fellow student based on little and very shaky evidence. If anything, such a backsktory would be further proof that his judgment is clouded and he's taking out his hatred towards a past bully onto another (possibly innocent) person.

For the record, yes, I do believe there will be a backsktory, probably with vice-prez having been bullied in the past, but that is no excuse for the president's actions. And while I absolutely hate his disgusting face (I have mentioned that before after all), my assessment of his character is based on his actions and words, not on his smug expression—that just adds that extra spice that makes me want to punch him lol.

The president is in no position to judge who deserves to die, though. He thinks he's some vigilante of justice? All I see is a (potential) criminal, who, by his own standards, should be killed himself. And you simply cannot compare a bully to a murderer and claim that they deserve equal punishment, because they have not caused equal harm. The matter of whether the death sentence should or shouldn't exist at all is a rather controversial one and I am not planning on discussing it here, but what the author has made rather clear is that, in this context, the president is in the wrong. Which is not to say that Satsuki is necessary completely right, only that the president is an arrogant, self-proclaimed enforcer of punishment to the ones he sees as irredeemably evil, who can't even realize that his own actions go against his "ideals".

I really can't see how anyone would give him any credit, when he decides to kill a student without even having actual evidence that she's done anything wrong.
