There's about 25 of these tags. They can make for nice warnings on works that wouldn't otherwise warrant them.

I hope it does the thing Saiki K did (having the year repeat a few times without explanation and then its later revealed to be an actual plot thing)

Homura appears in this, so they've only got a month to squeeze the plot into. Not exactly much room for maneuvering.

Wouldn't being invisible guarantee being marked absent?

I still don't understand why people shipp Alina x Karin when Alina only has the hots for Mifuyu.

Alina constantly steals Karin's partly-drunken strawberry milk. That's more than enough to get the ship train rolling.

If I had to guess, it'd be because she's still shackled, which means biding her time until she's trusted enough to have it removed.

As bad as I feel for Rena's mirror, is this really drama?

Can't believe there's people that still hate Homura.

Something something Rebellion. It might work for her plotline, but that's still a level of crazy too far in many eyes.

At first glance, the thumbnail made me think of that older version of Madoka from the OP. That would've made for quite the interesting pair.

This would be a very satisfying ending if those other nine were available. Unfortunately it looks like only this, Everyone's Expectations and a Small Happiness and a third, untranslated work have been scanned.

I always hate it when they pull the "only a stepsister" just in time for the incest route; I'll accept it if it's part of the initial characterization, but after that it's go blood or go home.

Beyond that, the sudden switch here from running the stepsister route to an open ending is also annoying; I'd have liked to see the rainbow mechanic in action as well.

A slightly better ending would have been for them to ponder what desire might make them not swap with a kiss, followed by a mutual blush. But at least this is an ending, even if it's not a particularly satisfying one.

Somebody on Mangadex noticed something interesting from Girls' Last Tour:

Look at the far left.

It's interesting Grass Wonder says she and Special Week were intertwined in a previous life, when it's Silence Suzuka who shared a sire with Special Week.

cant they just get a rest already?

But they did get a rest there at the end.

I hope if she goes back that they stay together

Naah. She'll stay in yuri world, but turn Lily down in favor of her boyfriend's counterpart. Normal!

Kotoumi

@DY4Y:

Umi's rather strong reaction to Kotori's "Onagai?" would seem to confirm Umi feels that way, but Kotori seems to only have eyes for Honoka based on her later actions.

The blackmail is pretty lame for blackmail, but I'm loving everything else

Given that she's a teenage girl, I'm not at all surprised at how little it took to get her going.

Not Homura though, we all know she wouldn't do that

I have a feeling she would...

Life doesn't always have a perfect ending, especially if you don't say what needs to be said; the way it's expressed so well is a form of tragic beauty. The identity of the bride(groom) is about as relevant as the number of panels (s)he features in; the story is the same either way.

Alternate ending: horny Kotori wins and lives out the unspeakable fantasies her nondescript smile keeps hidden. Cut to mind-broken Non-tan.

Nico's reaction to Nozomi saying that seems to be payoff here - that feeling of so close yet so far. What she said was basically a confession with a rejection baked in; that she had no response to Nico's unqualified confession is what seals the hurt.

There's almost no way this can be anything but death. If Nozomi were expelled or moved away, Eli still has her number. I suppose you could argue she's in a coma/vegetative state, but it makes less sense for her to be talking to thin air, rather than at her side in the hospital. As for her comment on teachers, she was likely forced to give a speech she was in no condition to give(going by her being before a microphone in her uniform).

Maybe i'm dark but I really like the ending. It seems she hasn't convinced herself that everything will be okay and is fighting a losing battle?

She's definitely hanging on by a thread. Her relationship with Rii is probably related, especially how it was before everyone vanished and how it changed after. If she did have a husband and child and was already fooling around with her while they were still alive, losing everything but her paramour is all but guaranteed to leave some form of guilt complex.

So, remember how we definitely see Kei walking toward the school when they leave? I wonder if that’ll be relevant.

pretty sure they kill her off in the previous chapter

I think they meant on how Miki has to face her walking corpse again

I think they mistook the "it's not Kei" line to mean "it's not Kei anymore", rather than a case of superficial resemblance. Given the different school uniform and us seeing Kei wondering into the school in chapter 30, it's clearly literal.

Also did everyone get tired of this series or something? Since there aren't many comments. I still think it's still interesting right now

Given that it's over seventy chapters at this point, it's entirely possible most of the readership here bowed out long ago(and sheer length can intimidate newcomers in many cases).

I'm amazed at how poorly written this manga is about the consequences of a society without men.

The author just made a replica of our world, but without men. Period. No societal changes, no personal behavior change, not even dressing codes change.

It's just like the men vanished yesterday and, somehow, everyone's memory was rewritten to forget about them.

This point is brought up in chapter 4.2, where Lily notes how the histories of the two worlds get more and more similar the closer to the present day it is. So this is probably on purpose and will be a plot point in the future.

I just took that as a "yeah, I know it doesn't make sense but roll with it because this manga isn't about that sort of world building" from the writer sort of like when Zombie Land Saga pointed out how most people are cremated in Japan and then proceeded to never explain around it.

It's implied that yuri world Marika's responsible, so the similarities make perfect sense: she simply chose one that was as similar as possible to jump to. Figuring out a steampunk shogunate would make her apparent quest for D that much harder, after all.
