I don't know why this feels so sad. . .
Maybe because they're so nakedly using each other? Picking each other for convenience / because there are no other options?
This has to be the most foreshadowing bad-ending couples of all time T-T

Sal Jiang is an international treasure \o/

holy moly those girls are tough as fuck

wow that is a messed up AI designer
give your newborn a prosthetic tumor, because that's what she really needed in her life

XD
I like this series! I think there's so many awesome things about it, and its originality is a high point.
Humor is relative, though, and for me, the sexual humor doesn't really hit. The poignant moments though, absolutely do.

Ahhh so she's massively insecure about her looks
This isn't going to end well T-T

This series is such a gem. Love how creative it gets, and how it just goes all in on fantasy and crazy spells, without trying to explain any of it. It's magic - just let it be incomprehensible and interesting. Most of all, INTERESTING.
And damn those witches go through some dark, dark backstory. Can't get enough of it. More flashbacks please! Dying to know what happened to each, after the witch hunts. What happened to them, what they lost.

Only caveat is wish they would just like, drop the Lake Erie quantities of spit and the apprentice's sudden bouts of insane horny. ^ ^;
I get that it's being played for comedy, and I have nothing against sexual content (viva la yuri sex), but feel like there's a real tonal clash here. It feeeeels really, tacked on? And that the series would be better without it: it already has real, (non-)human connections between its characters.

. . . ohhhhh god
I know it's a fantasy. I know it's fiction.
But the thought of trying to get a job again, as a young professional after a gap year in THIS economy? After having burned through all your back-up savings?
aosodidkeks

Got me chewing my nails thinking about trying to explain that in an interview. :' )

Murmur is a blessing and a gem. Absolutely SEARING hot. Incredible dynamic between adult women (thank god), who are, frankly, not good people and not good to each other and make an awesome, banging story.

Serina endgame pleaseee

omg what an amazing chapter this author is KILLING IT asjdjdls loving this plot development and those facial expressions are TOP TIER

Love this one.
Fat girl is a real person, with guts and gutso, instead of her weight relegating her to being a side character.
Thank you Sal Jiang.

Wait what?? 3 million yen is ~$19,000 USD. The hostess was wearing 19 THOUSAND dollars worth of clothing??
She's gotta have been lying right? Either about the cost, or throwing the clothes away, because no one is going to throw $19 k away without at least trying to get it cleaned.

Honestly, the trope where the sweet character becomes serious and intimidating is good, but in the case of this manga, with the situation they are in, it feels silly, why would two grown men be afraid of her and do whatever she tells them?

Yeahhh
I dunno, I really liked the mystery that was developing and the dynamic between two main characters before this. Like Ch. 1 - 9, events were interesting, both main characters were interesting, super fun dynamic, neither of them were "good people" but they felt like real people in a crazy situation.
But Chapter 10? Feels like a real world situation that definitely COULD happen (i.e. getting hit on by 2 dudes) but weirdly unrealistic.
Like we know Yuri is vain, hates being taken advantage of (taxi driver situation), and is kinda rude (how she talks to Atsuko, Phu Thuy, and other interactions).
But suddenly she's bending over backwards to take the side of these 2 creepo randos who called her stupid and old and made weird sex comments about her friend. Like what? Girl, are you so anxious about not being labelled as a lesbian that you're gonna ignore all that?
Atsuko leaving Yuri stranded with no money and 2 STRANGERS IS SUPER BAD HOLY CRAP BAD BAD BAD but her being super mad makes sense for her character.
The way Yuri acts and ignores every red flag just feels very strange, and implies:
A. she's incredibly afraid of being labelled lesbian and will do anything to avoid it
B. She wants male attention/flattery
C. She has no idea or doesn't care how dangerous their situation is, and how it endangers her AND Atsuko
D. She really is that dumb.

Or a combination there of. None of which reflects positively on her. I'm honestly scratching my head here, but of all the crazy stuff that's happened to these 2, this feels the most ludicrous. Hopefully next chapter turns things around and we get back into the good stuff.

This is really sweet.
Sorry for necro-ing lmao but the way the scientists genuinely care for Praha's growth, and how Praha really FEELS like a robot, but still develops a genuine relationship with Chika-chan feels like a future we could hope for, in a world where AI is advancing every day.
Sweet. A gentler future.

Holy moly there's stupid, then there's allowing yourself to be video-taped by two randos while you're on the run for MURDER stupid.
Man, if I were Atsuko, I would seriously be reconsidering upending my entire life for someone like. . . that.
