Very cute series. Watching Fuyu stumble her way into a relationship with her childhood crush was so adorable. A really loveable cast.
Still can't believe Nanaya and Minori aren't married...

I love Watanare. Just like with Sendai-san and Miyagi of SuuKura, watching Renako overthink into a spiral of (often unwitting) sapphism is hilarious.
Also, Satsuki is a victim lol.

Wow a new character but one that I was wondering if she was ever gonna show up. Glad she did cause she looks great! Liking her chances too since she technically survived her introductory chapter.

Poor Yuriko. And wow she didn't even tell Kuro her age which to be fair Kuro does keep her own secrets. Honestly gonna be really sad for me if these two break up. Hopefully not. Wish we got a moment between Konoha and Satoko in the hot spring but hopefully it can still happen.

Leader and Yuriko have rings now that I haven't noticed before (Kuro wears hers on a necklace, Yuriko wears hers on her right ring finger). Maybe promise rings, maybe just a fashion accessory - however...[[Yuri Goggles ON]].

I really love this series - in consistently delivers character development, good characters TO develop, fun and thoughtful worldbuilding, and (generally) good comedy. Also Satoko a bestgirl - her lack of morality is adorable.

I love how Konoha slowly is warming up to Satoko – they’ve come a long way from when Konoha was ready to kill her if she didn’t agree to leaf bodies for her. And then Satoko practicing in secret to improve her leafing jutsu for Konoha… super cute.

And then here, where not only is Konoha giving up going in the onsen in order to guard Satoko, but she’s even patting her back and giving her water when she’s choking on dango. Then immediately gets in front of her when Momiji makes her entrance. Would that even have happened ten chapters ago?! Cute!

I'm not quite convinced this is a 'lie detector'. I think this is a representation of how easily - or not - each character says "sorry".
Not to overexplain anything, but from this I get that Utena is a chastened, but she stills apologizes. And, of course, she'll apologize for her wife and child. Kiwi is... 'reluctant'. Arisu is, presumably, mute. Matama starts and stops, and it's hard, but she can say sorry. Haruka and Sayo are good girls so they immediately apologize. Karouko will apologize, backhandedly probably, or in an insulting way; "Sorry you're so dumb", maybe?
And so on. That's how I interperted it, anyway. I think it really captures their characters with just a line, and I think that is really cool.

The Melody/Kuromi cosplay is adorable, and fitting (based on my extremely limited knowledge of Hello Kitty lore). I continue to enjoy the scenario of Kita consistently forcing Bocchi into doing cute insta things, crudely but affectionately building up her social tolerance/skills.

oh to kill her husband and rightfully take his place...

"You keep what you kill."

Rather than starting with cheating, it really seems to have started (and ended, since it's a oneshot) with pre-meditated murder - how romantic! Trading one host of problems for a whole slew of others... that could actually make a fun crime manga/manhwa, the maid/mistress and widow trying to keep not just the murder under wraps and attention diverted, but also their relationship.
The isekai (?) aspects were kind of weird, honestly; not sure what, if anything, it added to the story. I suppose 'love beyond death/reincarnation'?

I've been worried about the other characters since the first chapter: only Sophia entered the 'real world' with a home and near someone. Luna, Clara, Olivia, and Aurora are all homeless and alone - and have been for several days, in a world they know nothing about. Machino and Sophia are so cute, but that has been hanging over my head for every chapter...

Two points:
1) Wow, that was rough; Yuri came out of it with a black eye, that's hardcore...
2) That door is remarkably short, or our girls here are exceptionally tall.

This is one of the few manga that has the "WTF am I reading" tag and I agree 100%: WTF am I reading, but also why do I enjoy it so much? This is good stuff.

The 180 on the idol romance was hilarious. Shaking and crying to 'can't be helped if it's Rena' lol

Thank you for brining the joy of Amazaki Suika to us, dandalyn! Your hard work is really appreciated; these are all gems, I've enjoyed every single Amazaki Suika comic that's come to Dynasty.

2 volume dump!? We are eating good. Thank you for this, Scienceyscans!
This is cute and cozy, I like the directness of the characters and the drama is so far relatively benign - I feel like it's treated more like a convenient vehicle to enable Yuka to rescue Mitsuki than something to be inflicted on the characters... so far. It's really heartwarming to see Yuka validating Mitsuki just by being her natural sweetheart self; the movie-watching scene was really nice.
Also, later with the home planetarium, they are awfully close on such a large couch...

This was cute, a nice shot of serotonin.
The character bios at the end, tho (especially Fuuka's).............. yikes.
But hey, beer was on sale so who cares! :D

Edit: Thanks for the links, dandalyn! Quite considerate to do both.

Sayo will be naughty or nice, whichever gets her punished more by Magia Basier: no morality, only horny.

That was a cute story. I enjoyed it quite a bit!
A couple nitpicks here and there (what even was Kujou's role, if not to force Yaya and Ichigo together?), but overall it always managed to put a silly smile on my face - and I really loved their silly expressions.
I hope for another extra or artist's twitter post that cements Yaya and Ichigo, but I'll have to settle for this mid-2000's yuri ambiguity.
Huge thanks to Cuetie Scans peeps; this was good stuff.

I do love that it's canonical that when princess Natalia is happy flowers pop into existence. It such a cute, and on-brand, way of incorporating a staple background effect into the "real world" of the manga. Other times you'll get characters who will comment "I swear just saw flowers blooming" or such (especially when the artists go crazy and choke a panel with them), but I'm eagerly awaiting Sister Sara to catch on - that should be quite the arc.

Of COURSE she has a transformation item. This is sometime-sensei after all - I wonder if the original work is different in that regard.
Interesting that the 'attack name' is "executing first function" - I wonder if this will be one of my favorite genres, where magic is actually Sufficiently Advanced Science™ - it's so good when it's done well. Or even not done so well (looking at you, Murder Princess).
It seems Frost had some infection or something on her shoulder, maybe from her fight, like the black crystals that have been on all the monsters we've seen so far. Could this be a "magical evil crystal infection" scenario? And the dark-haired girl from Frost's past was killed by that evil crystal infection (or a monster that was)? And that's how Frost got her Special Armor? That only Frost's Special Armour can face? Which is why there are no other knights or soldiers to fight this very evident crises?!
Well, maybe. I really liked After School Re-Reincarnation; even though it was pretty heavy-handed with some of the foreshadowing, there was still some twists and subversion so maybe I'm just projecting that story's character onto this one.

This isn't how I wanted (or, weirdly(?) expected) Io being assaulted to be handled by Misa. Being a lesbian in a hostess club, you'd think she might have an experience or two, personal or otherwise, with being forced to do something sexual with someone - especially when she's a mentor (reluctant or no) for the younger girls. Granted a high class hostess bar like the one she works at probably has good security and strict rules, but when alcohol is involved... well, enough on that part, pure speculation.
In short, the mood whiplash was real for me when we went from Io escaping, Misa (again) miraculously coming across her, and... straight (lol) to humiliation play.

Will Misa and Manager Hase get into a fight over Io? Honestly, I hope so! A catfight in the middle of the hostess club would be so hilarious to me from the absurdity of it: two women fighting over a third in a den of chauvinism.
Most likely Hase will say some nasty things, probably question Misa about her relationship with Io, and it causes a big scene and the younger girls who were envious towards Misa will back her up even if their work relationship is so rocky?

I think it's just illustrating that Bocchi is wearing her jersey (and loafers?) underneath.
