This has nothing to do with the actual manga, but I feel compelled to ask why its chapters always show up on the front page in reverse order. I don't think I've seen that with any other upload.

I like that Kotone is acutely aware of the fact that she has a lot of power over Aoi and doesn't want to, even unintentionally, abuse that power. It feels like a lot of stories with this sort of power disparity ignore that issue or act like the less powerful partner being some degree of on board with it or attracted to their boss eliminates the problem. Though, to be fair, the way a lot of them also include some degree of reversal does help.

What's with homeless people sleeping in literal garbage in manga lol

The Watsonian answer is probably some combination of depression, the trash being softer than concrete, and the trash pile being out of the way. The Doylist answer is that it provides some very clear symbolism for both their mental state and how society sees them.

Given how her bending sense works, she knows exactly what she's doing to Katara, right?

Also, the poses and expressions are perfect for them.

That was definitely sweet, but at the same time, I can't help but think about how this couple's age gap is much worse than the main couple's.

I can see it now. They will have been living together, with two kids and a dog, for 5yeara by the time Hane finally works up the courage to tell her friends that she has a crush on Juuna and needs help figuring out how to ask her out.

They will, quite naturally, snap and immediately become dark magical girls.

Looks like a retell of Ribbon no Kishi. Even the character design looks like Tezuka's.

Hope this one doesn't end in het, like the original.

I think this is that Ribbon Knight.

Oh, hey, Dowman. It's been a while since they've had anything on here.

You know, when she said the girl was only banging her for her girlfriend's sake, I figured it was going to be a twist ending and either the girlfriend didn't exist or her feelings had changed, because how does "she's cheating on her girlfriend, with me, for her girlfriend's sake" even beggin to make sense?

Apparently, it makes perfect senes when she's not actually cheating and her girlfriend wants to see the MC's o face.

I didn't realize this was Azula x Mai at first. Azula's outfit looks a bit more modern than I'm used to, but it's a good look for her.

Does this mean there's a "fall to despair" system in the magical girl contract or was it willing? If willing why did she become an evil general? Does being a magical girl age you up?

The metaphorical underpinning of traditional magical girl series is the transformation from child to adult - becoming prettier, more powerful, with more agency and the ability to determine your destiny and impact the larger world around you. It’s a core appeal of the fantasy to the target audience’s age group. So, yes, a lot of times the girls’ transformed state makes them visibly more adult than their regular identity.

This is true but those series didn’t have the today magical girl formula of enemies. They were more slice of life and romance/idol focused, the magical power was not for fighting, and was for the girl herself to have agency as you said. In the format we have today I can’t remember a aged-up magical girl, now even if they are 5yo they fight just like that, the last aged-up magical girl I remember is from Doremi and if I remember correctly PreCure

Counter point: Sailor Moon.

I vaguely knew some of that, in a general sense, but not in context. Both of those explanations were very helpful. Thank you.

Well, that isn't the room of someone living somewhere long term and now Riri's putting things off.

I get that the whole point is Ooma being a reincarnated demon lord or whatever, but this is getting so repetitive. Do we really need a flashback every single chapter just to illustrate how their relationship was back then? Is it not enough to just show Ooma and Riri's relationship as it is now, without constantly interrupting the flow of each chapter for useless flashbacks?

Yeah, I wouldn’t call them useless but at some point is just, idk, it’s like the author has zero faith in our memory or our reading comprehension
Honestly the more chapters the more I prefer the one-shot idea, I don’t think this manga is going to be long either, at max 20-30 chapters, first it comes from a one-shot, second it a premise that if you extend it gets repetitive. I am pretty sure the final line will be after they show us what truly happened with Ooma in her previous life

Personally I really like Zai haha

In addition to what the others said, the past chapters aren't just about showing us how Ooma messed up in their past life. They also gradually give us more information about who these characters were and what that world was like. For example, after some of the earlier chapters, some people speculated that maybe part of what held Ooma back in their prior life was some sort of social situation that would have prevented them from being together (which was pretty reasonable, given what we knew about the setting), but this chapter makes it clear that, no, not only could they have been together, but everyone else thought they already were, to the point where they included Riri in formal invitations to Ooma.

Mm I have a hard time trying to explain what I mean in eng but my point (not the original poster) was that even though the flashbacks are not useless, resorting to the same visual resource in all the chapters make it lose cohesiveness (for me)

Stories can have different levels of linearity and different people will vibe with them differently, just like any other thematic or styalistic choice. Simply jumping back and forth between two time periods is relatively tame, as far as these things are concerned (compared to something like Memento or Cloud Atlas), but if that's not your thing, than it's not your thing. Personally, I like it when authors push the bounds of how they handle chronology.

I have a question that's completely unrelated to the plot: On page 32 it says that both Momiji and Kouyo are written the same? How does that work, both in terms of how are the same characters making such different sounds and how would someone who's reading it know which set to use? Is there more to this that I'm missing or that isn't coming across?

I remember asking a Japanese tutor about something similar a, very long time ago, but I couldn't think of a good example at the time, so she wasn't able to give me an answer and I didn't stick with my studies well enough to figure it out myself. (I really do need to go back and work on that.)

I'm hesitant on this one, for all of the reasons people have mentioned, but it also has some very entertaining scenes, when you stop to think about them.

The most blatant is the look of utter revelation she gets when he asks if she's gay followed by her basically going "I only said that to get him to stop, but maybe I—HOLY SHIT I'M GAY!", but there's also the part where Momiji apparently got her sister, who's a professional make up artist, to help with her transformation. So, what, she went "Hey, sis, I need you to make me look like a girl, so I can get with this lesbian I used to bully in kindergarten" and she not only agreed but went all in, to the point of insisting Momiji wear colored contacts. I will laugh if we get a flash back to that scene and the sister basically says "So, you're finally coming out, sis?"

Holy shit, I thought that was a crease in her shirt. That scar is huge. What was she trying to do? Disembowel her?

I do believe something along those lines was the goal, yes. Then she realized who she was cutting into and her priorities rapidly changed.

The reveal and fight between the two must have been very dramatic and intense lol.

Also I think that is a different scar compared to the initial first scar we saw she got from Hana in the previous...It is a diagonal scar...The scar we saw in previous chapter was straight line it seems/Vertical type (Of course it could be the same scar and cut butt author just forgot the angle perhaps???)....Plus at the end (Pwn/REKT Juuna/Evil general laying in a pool of blood...Or is that her hair...blood or hair?) So yeah...Definitely more than one single cut from Hana's sword [That scar (Diagonal type probably was the most intense injury that couldn't be fully healed even with magic apparently???)]

The first cut we saw was a cut, not a scar, and Juna explicitly treated it as trivial. This scar is definitely the result of a second, far more serious, cut.

So, for those lacking context, what did she forget?

Have we met the fan at the start of this chapter before? She looks familiar, but I can't quite place her.

That last panel looks far to sweet and innocent for Yukari.

Also, Yukari, why are you using google maps, you clearly don't need it? What are you planning?

So Akiba knows they're in a secret relationship? Because why else would she go up to her and say all that stuff about stealing her away etc if she didn't know.

I'm pretty sure it's the president who knows about their relationship and she said all that stuff because he put her up to it. Also, she seems to have a thing for Suda.

Free as in "A short game put out by a single dev for free", not "Free to play, but loaded with micro-transactions." It's mostly a basic puzzle game with some nice art. Their follow-up is also a yuri game, unlike Hell Taker.

edgy manga wants to be edgy, Sakura looks and behaves like a child so I don't care too much about her but ruka and chiharu have story, I don't know what to feel about ruka an sakura being the same age but I want ruka and chiharu together, they are just so into each other it makes me mad when we cut to sakura being dumb as always

I don't think I'd describe this manga as "edgy".

wouldn't you even now?

What part of this was edgy?

Uh ... Is most of the chapter missing or did they actually put out a 1 page chapter?

That was a cute way to confess, but for some reason I can't help but think about that other girl from page 12. Just standing there, on the other side of the book case, thinking "Oh gods, they're flirting again. This is so awkward. Wait, are they going to— Quick, make a noise!"
