Hey Chads, did you notice this bonus Ai/Chie chapter Kishi posted on twitter in August?
https://twitter.com/kishitorajiro/status/1559428157421146112?t=D5BdoBi1az3wcqd6jf3VdQ&s=19

We didn't! Thank you so much! I'll work on iiiiit!

I've never given this series attention since I came on the site even seeing for how freaking long it was running.

Now after losing an insane amount of hours of sleep to read all the 261 chp in a week I have drawn my conclusion on this series :

This is a freaking masterpiece in every aspect and deserve all the praise and recognition.

The peapole who religiously worked to bring us this work have all the right in this world to call themselves chads, no less.

Thank you .

Thank you! It makes me very happy ❤️

Welp, I'm starting on my journey of catching up on this series. I will now read chapter 0!

Wish you a good journey!

Shizuka's not a power-bottom. She certainly wasn't with Kaoru because it's pretty evident that Kaoru prefers to corrupt good girls. That's why she cooled on Hibiki so quickly. See the cotton candy scene at the festival.
Look at Mio and Shizuka's early interactions. Even the moves Shizuka makes that look aggressive are invitations for Mio to take the lead. I think Shizuka was playing at the seductive senpai role to spite Kaoru, but she couldn't help revealing her true nature. She seizes the role she really wants at Valentine's, giving Mio chocolate and assigning her White Day responsibilities. Their first kiss is her inviting Mio to kiss her. She remains seated while Mio stands over her. Shizuka doesn't want control. She only steers Mio toward topping her. She's all bottom. (as mentioned, in a relationship power dynamic sense.) I don't think what Mio exhibits early on is Top energy as much as the single-minded possessiveness Shizuka couldn't get from Kaoru. Shizuka 100% wants to be someone's sole possession, but the most she would ever be to Kaoru is the centerpiece of her menagerie.
https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/virgins_empire_ch126#6
and then Mio, without realizing it, auditions to be her possessor. Shizuka's eyes on the next page are her realizing that Mio is actually everything she wants. The same eyes as when Kaoru realized she was losing her grip on Shizuka. The same as Kaoru falling in love with Mask at a glance. They're significant shifts in the love triangle. The die is cast in Ch. 126, and what follows is the necessary shedding of a toxic relationship to make room for the new one. Kaoru is a fun character, and I think she could have an amazing redemption arc with Mask, but she still knowingly manipulates Shizuka. It's only this day in the story that Mio begins to understand she has to take the lead. She sees Shizuka's weakness and realizes it's up to her to pull her out from under Kaoru completely. She's always been stronger, braver, and more honest than Shizuka. She only lacked confidence while Shizuka's confidence was only ever a facade. Losing your virginity can be a big confidence boost, so I'm really curious about what happens next. Mio's not going full Yuu-sama anytime soon, but Shizuka's definitely down for the spanking.

I mean, I totally agree with everything you say, but a pushy and seductive bottom is what I call a power bottom. I'm not saying she's a switch ;)

The question everybody has, but no one had mentioned...

Who's bottom and who was top?

What are you talking abou. Mio is obviously the top

In general....but I thin, yer right.....but Shizuka is a Powerbottom. Hard to resist her too and she knows,what she is doing.

Total power bottom. But a power bottom is still a bottom

I know, but if ye think about it...shizuka really groomed her to be the Top , piece by piece. Mio got the biggest balls ....or the female equivalent...of them all.
This whole thing still blows me mind and it will continue so.
Still a pity,that sensei doesn't do nudes anymore,because those things were a piece of art!

Thank yous fer yer hard work! Please keep it going.

Not really, Mio clearly showed signes way before in chapter 9 actually.

I don't see the point of top/bottom in yuri, tbh. ^^;

It's more like a power dynamic, much more fan than the usual top/bottom in yaoi

I like this series. However, every now and then, I remember it was written by a man and that spoils it, just a bit, for me. It reminds me that it's just a guy's fantasy about life at an all girls' school. It's kind of the equivalent of the Cinamax sexy softcore porn movies about women's prisons, I use to sneak downstairs late at night, to watch when I was 13.

Sad a man can't do yuri without being tag as fetishist. Seriously, there are yuri hentai artists who are women. And also it's way less ecchi that it use to be and the writing is pretty good. I don't understand why the author being a man should change the way you see it there.

I actually find it so refreshing that a man can be so good at depicting yuri. Kishi-sensei really is incredible.
Let's stop reducing men to their sexuality and let's stop haitng their sexuality in general. Word of a proud lesbian <3

By the time Ayano and Miyoshi finally get their shit together, Ai and Chie would probably be an old married couple with kids.

Facts

I will never get over the revelation that Onibi was, in fact, super hot. When they first showed us her face under those glasses I felt like one of those shmucks at the Daily Planet and I just saw Clark Kent turn into fucking Superman.

Lmao right? I think glasses can look great but she's normally drawn in such a dorky way. Which isn't a bad thing, but it's definitely a "woah" moment when you see that can in fact be super hot.

I never doubted for a second that she was hot.

Oi, who tagged it with chubby?!

That was me. I suggested tagging the series with Chubby.

Hmmm....I mean yeah, but I couldn't call her chubby. Hell, I couldn't even call chie, nononon senpai and alicia chubby...ok,maybe, I'm just weird

It dowsn't need to be in every chapter to be used as a "series tag". But I agree I'd prefer to use them in specific chapters instead, like the NSFW tag. But it would be a big work to change them all.

The alchemist totally looks like Malori from Mage & Demon Queen o.O

Am I the only one that enjoyed the chapter? I saw it was gonna be special because it's ch100 and I thought this was fun. It will probably be put to the side as a dream or something, but still very fun. And also we had the confirmation that Koguma is explicitly conscious of her feelings!
Very good stuff. Love this!

Pretty weird way to make Hana's mother get together with Akira xDDD

I love that it is obvious that the president didn't want her to pay it back.
Also love my twisted manga because it is fictional. LET'S GOOOOO

SHE'S NOT KAREN SAN!

Lol loved that, prise to the translators.

Talking about rape and the "it's okay if she feels good in the end trope".
Didn't like it. Made me unconfortable in the start but the inner dialogue made me overcome it.
Actually, according to the law it is not rape if the "victim" does not perceive it like that. But still very toxic behaviour, not a justification.

I'm down. Love this series.

I've done a fair bit of TL in the past and lived over there for a couple years.

Thank you so much! It would be great to have some help! You can contact me via discord Tsuki-chan#9085 or in our server https://discord.gg/4cc622J6!

Hello everyone! Unfortunately we are missing a translator... Is there anyone who could help us out? We can't leave this unfinished!

I'm a researcher, and must admit that those credits are gooooold

Just to say but the chapter title is wrong - Im assuming it should be Coldy woldy not 'cold' - I thought that even before I saw it written as 'coldy' on page 1.

p.s Can someone let the warming leauge know the earth doesn't need any help with being warmer lol.

updated. Thanks!

I'm dead, I sure am DED!!! Because that was heaven!! Tokino is kinda the true beautyqueen in this series. She got the eyes, the fasion, the rather eccentric charisma and cardigans worth more than my entire cabinet!

But what matters more.

NAO WTF?!

I mean, dear god ,WTF?!

THOSE WERE ABSURDLY PERVY AND SHOCKING FANTASIES!!

HRMPF......!!!
....
.....
.....I begin to love her more and more....

We're talking about somebody who has literally fantasized about stripping naked in the middle of class, aren't we?

Yep...Nao is one friggin interesting character for every psychologist. Don't get me wrong, it's not that she is ill or something. Quite the contrary. Interesting to know, how she got this desires, how she nutures them and what really REALLY is happening to her...hot damn. If I were a psychologist or someone analyising social behavior, this school would be a friggin playground!

Psychologist here! I find her interesting in the fact that she is very realistic for a depiction of a teen-ager with a paraphilia! But in general Kishi's depiction of the BDSM spectrum is quite realistic (especially if we think about how BDSM is usually depicted in manga).

Interesting to know actually. I mean, the BDSM stuff is kinky, but the way it's incorporated in ones every day life in subtle and not so subtle ways ((yes, I mean you, photo booth butt smacking jiggly wiggly scene!!)), it's quiet fascinating......human minds turned visual are deffo interesting.

Nao maybe is one of the characters with less chatacter development, but she makes up with her kinks. I'm dying to know, how this manifested and why shameful acts are her thing. Is it just a different type of masochism? Is it rebellion? Will she get closer with Yu and mari? Because this Triangle would be interesting,although mebbe not exactly compatible.

Nao would be just the side gimp

This is what I meant by realistic, in some ways. People who are into the BDSM community are extremely creative. This allows them to find kinkiness in almost everything. I'd be curious to know how she developed her kinky side, but usually fetishes/parafìphilias just emerge and are reinforced by operant conditioning. So it just "hpapens" to connect arousal to certain types of event and you actively seek those situations to get again those feelings.
Masochism and exhibitionism can have some common elements as they could not. It depends on the line of thoughts that the person has during the events.
I see no possibility of a triangle as a relationship with them.

I love thiiiiis
