Those poor buttons though; I can hear them whimpering in the agony of death... D:

I see your percipient eye instantly focused on Saki's most notable feature.

Aww so wholesome.
Now take her to the nearest hotel and screw the wholesomeness (along with the girl).

That popsicle-sharing scene...

I give this manga a

rating.

There wasn't any nudity, or profanity, or violence, but I don't care. The lewdness of that scene was off the scale. It's not for the eyes of children, nope nope.

There was even a little bit of -- gasp -- handholding!!!

Oh no this is cuteeeeeeee!!!!! I seriously don't mind male characters if they're handled well, just like this lil brother.

Every shy, repressed lesbian in the world needs a little brother like Mio.

I am getting gay vibes from the little bro....(I know he's 10 but...)

I know he's like a little housewife, doing all the cooking and the chores and everything... but I didn't get any gay vibes from him.

However, I did get a SHIPLOAD of gay vibes from the two other boys, his classmates. Those two are so totally "Gay For Mio" they're probably going to explode if Mio doesn't start paying more attention to them -- instead of thinking about oneechan all the time.

Who is Iwami Kiyoko??? How come I never heard of her before???

Someone who writes so well and creates such captivating characters and draws such amazingly beautiful art should be more famous!

(goes check the archive for all other works by her)

Oi, that's not just the makeup you "fixed up" there... :D

And she isn't fooling anyone, if we judge by the look in Rena's face...

UFO Catcher discussion 22 Apr 23:48

Band-aid Girl is totally trying to be a boyfriend for Ponytail Girl. With her short-ish hair and her tracksuit jacket, it's obvious she's going for the boyish look. And that stunt she pulls trying to catch a toy bear, oh, it's exactly what a super typical cliché "cool boyfriend" character in a romantic manga would do... except that he wouldn't have failed, haha.

Look at her face when she sees that Ponytail Girl likes those teddy bears, then her boastful "leave it to me" attitude when she starts playing the UFO catcher. Confidence! Arrogance! Decisiveness! All are traits that girls like to see in their boyfriends! Only thing is, it doesn't work like that here -- because Ponytail Girl was begging her to forget about it and stop spending her money in such a wasteful way... Too bad, Band-aid Girl didn't listen and ended up pennyless, defeated and humiliated (clearly crushed by her feelings of "I've failed to be a cool bf, oh woe, I suck!") even though Ponytail Girl tried to comfort her.

The last panel is so amusing and heartwarming. For the first time, Band-aid Girl stops playing that "cool guy" role and acts like the young girl she really is, letting go of herself in a fit of childish anger. And I can't but get the feeling that, if Band-aid Girl was like that all the time (a cute girl who is sometimes a bit childlike and spoiled, instead of someone who plays a boyfriend routine), Ponytail Girl would like it much better.

Nikaidou and Tadokoro don't have access to that info.

I think you're underestimating Nikaidou.

For sure. If Kirigaya actually is faking her repentance, that poses a threat not to Tadokoro, Nikaidou, or to their relationship, but to her own continued survival.

That's what we thought before, when Nikaidou caught Kirigaya bullying Tadokoro. "She's dead!" "She's history!" "RIP Kirigaya!" "Goodbye, bitch, nobody will miss you!"

Look what happened.

I very much understand the internal "ugh" some may have for stories like this, but I liked this one.

Don't listen to the people who complain. This story is cute. Really cute. And, as Sakaki told to Chiyo, it's a fact: "Kakkoii vs. kawaii... kawaii is stronger!"

Sakaki is dead wrong

Ah, so you say, but... are you kakkoii enough to say it convincingly? :P
(When someone as cool as Sakaki says something like that, it carries a lot of weight...)

I just dont get how this got 1000+ comments. Maybe I'm growing old ? :(

Maybe because it's just for pure enjoyment and wish fulfillment? It's not meant to be taken seriously. And the main character interactions are cute.

Yes, indeed. Quoting from the comments for the previous chapter:

"Tadokoro-san" is well liked by the crowd here, but for a short 4-page chapter to see such a massive and enthusiastic reaction in such a short time... well, I do think it's a first.

I surmise it has to do with the straightforwardness and unpretentiousness of the currently developing plot. A cute, sweet, helpless heroine everybody likes. A villain with a heart black as pitch who torments her. A hero who is the very image of a knight in shining armor who arrives just in time to save the damsel and mete out punishment to the miscreant. It has a charming simplicity it's difficult not to enjoy. v^_^v

The only thing I'd quibble with is the "just in time" part, which is technically true, but one of the joys of this one is that you do have the chapter-end cliffhanger but there's no ramping up the tension or stretching things out--we barely have a chance to think, "Oh no, what will happen if Nikaidou ever discovers that a bully is--" when BAM!, Nikaidou is back, bully is a puddle of villainous goo.

This is great just as a bit of an antidote to all those stories that milk the suspense for every single plot development--I'd call it a parody except for its obvious whole-hearted sincerity.

You're quite right. In a previous post, a little while ago, Blank Mage put it very nicely:

This series doesn't waste any time, man. It's like every time the chapter ends, you think 'man, I really hope-' BAM next chapter, it happened, no one's got time for that will-they-won't-they shit, we're on the CLOCK.

"Tadakoro is cute. I hope she wins over Sakur-" - Already mutual.
"They really like each other, maybe they-" - They're spending time alone together.
"Snap, at this rate they might as w-" - Both confess.
"Shit, this is going fast, but now what's going to come bet-" - Bullying!
"What a bitch, I hope Sakur-" - Instant karma.

They aren't even hitting tropes, they just distilled and concentrated the yuri into a solid block to bludgeon you in the face with adorable feels and a stable relationship built on shared interests.

It ain't surprising that "Tadokoro-san" is so very popular. Suspense is all well and good, but there's genuine excitement in moving forward at this sort of intense pace.

To disorient Kagami in battle, just take her puppy away from her. That's all for today's military lesson!

Addendum to the lesson: to take Kagami's puppy away from her, just lure her with yummy food. Works every time. ^_~

Back already!

Aww, no ultraviolence... I thought the bully would be butchered and her mangled remains fed to the crows. Instead, she only received psychological damage. Boo!

Well, anyway, I don't think we'll hear about her ever again. Y'all don't worry about some redemption arc bullshit, that's not gonna happen. It would be a huge waste of space, and that's not how this 4-page-a-chapter manga works.

A virgin has been slain.

What's with that line? Killed someone? What is she talking about?

https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/virgin-killing-sweater

Lol, I get it now. I obviously don't know my memes well enough.

But... come to think of it... showing only the front view is kind of purpose-defeating, no? They should have also drawn a 2/3 view of Yasuda, so that we could see at least a bit of the open back...

This manga is so cute

Edit:

Stuff that dumb children do. Grown-ups should know better.

I didn't remember that. Now I have a sad, even if I know what happens later on.

Aw, sorry about that. Didn't mean to make you sad. (hugs)

Aaand just when I said that the last chapter was probably the end of Reversal for these two, the new chapter proves me wrong.

You know, I hadn't realized until now how FREAKING CHILDISH Hino is. She likes Koguma, and she obviously understands that she likes Koguma... but, instead of properly romancing her, all she does is harass her. And only now she realizes she's on the wrong path! I'm reminded of this:

Stuff that dumb children do. Grown-ups should know better.

The games Hino plays with Koguma are undoubtedly titillating for both of them, but in the end they are just that, games. If Hino's real wish is to see Koguma smile blissfully, if Koguma's happy face has such a devastating effect on her, then Hino needs to rethink her approach strategy. Because she sure as heck ain't gonna win anyone's heart waving lizards in their faces.
