this looks fantastic.

I think this qualifies as Liara x Shepard? The other two Asari are Aria T'Loak and councilor Tevos, which are a side/crackship.(although they aren't really interacting here)

I refuse to accept "friendly" as a descriptor for a wasp.

It's how you know it's a fantasy world.

As someone who once set aside a tiny piece of meat to feed a hungry autumn wasp during dinner, it's not a fantasy for me <3

Also I'm very intrigued by this new character, I wonder how the introduction of her and a new kingdom will change the story.

"Conditioning" ... the word is addiction.

Keep being dysfunctional (:

Addiction is conditioning.

Dependence is your body being conditioned to a certain amount of a certain substance being in your system and reacting poorly if it isn't. (withdrawal) And then you mentally condition yourself into believing/feeling that you need X to do or feel Y.

Damn, the Mucha vibes are really popping off in this one. Incredible work.

^^ I'm really not sure, I'm pretty sure the rightmost one is Artemis, her circlet has the same pattern. And the others could be the Wonder Girls, Donna Troy, Cassandra Sandsmark and Yara Flor.(their outfits also kind of match motifs?)

A tanuki maid? Someone call Zanka, this is an entirely new subgenre they can explore.

Are these minis canon? Was that mask professing her love?

She has professed her love for cats before, so it seems pretty canon to me.

^^^^^^^^ It could be a threesome if the GUND connection Suletta uses to get information from Aerial works both ways.

As a final theory comment, I love the Cryosleep idea because that opens up the possibility that Prospera deliberately targeted Miorine by making sure her daughter is the same age.

If Peil tech can't use cloning for their Elans and Suletta still has her dad's eyebrows I can't see how she wouldn't be Eri.

Fantastic art though, I wouldn't mind a separate Eri if it gives us more of this lmao

He seems to care more about Mitsuki than he does Aya.

Right? has he ever interacted nicely with Aya in a way that wasn't a ploy to push her and Mitsuki together?

Maybe what we are seeing now is a "mainstreamization" of the ABO/omegaverse concept? As far as I understand it, it had begun as a niche fetish based on a popular misunderstanding of animal relationships, but as more authors encounter it, it starts losing its focus on non-consensual sex and becomes just another New Weird setting to write stories in. Since the number of authors and readers who are into light and fluffy plots is much higher than that of those into animalistic rape fantasies, the number of works that focus on relationships and plot over ABO will similarly increase as more and more people discover it. It's all just a hypothesis at this point, though.

ABO finds its origin, like all of modern fanfiction itself, in Star Trek. Specifically in Kirk x Spock fics, because in startrek Vulcans go into "Pon Farr" aka heat/rut. ABO is a result of people taking that already existing dynamic and turning it into a more universal variant that could apply to almost any setting(and therefore any ship).

I have no idea why the writers of star trek chose to have Spock go into rut, but we all have to live with the consequences of that decision.

I've personally never really had any issues with encountering noncon/dubcon in any ABO I've read(at least not between the protagonists), but I'm starting to think I've just been very lucky, so I can't really say if it going mainstream has anything to do with it. Based on what I've heard about it though it does sound like straight ABO is more rapey than sapphic ABO, so that might have something to do with it too. All though that doesn't explain what others have mentioned in this thread.

Calling it right now.

Aya is going to leave the committee and then get surprised during the cultural festival when Mistuki is on stage playing for her.

Bonus points if in the mean time Mistuki figures out what happened, but instead of reaching out to Aya like a good communicator(she's still a teen after all) she gets roped into going in stage by our favorite 'cool' guy.

Edit: Because our 'cool' guy seems like the type to take advice from fiction, and a big gesture like that is definitely something a cool guy in a movie would do and Mitsuki is a cool 'guy' so it makes perfect sense.

It's going to be so good. Ugh, I can't wait.

Every day we get closer to that picture of Aya falling in love Mitsuki on stage.

I can't wait.

I suspect not. She was given the order to disappear, not to "throw yourself into a blast furnace". Exact words matter.

This comment aged so well.

Wait this is the ending? I was so excited to see this graduate into an office romance.

I'm so disappointed.

Aya.exe has stopped working and needs to be restarted.

♫ Standing here, I realize... ♫

Damn, look at that last frame of Michiru hiding her feet like a liar.

Interesting that she's the one who seems conflicted about her feelings though, she's so open about everything else.

I am somehow expecting the uncle to spill the beans somehow. I know it wouldnt happen but...

Why wouldn't he? I don't think he knows Aya thinks Mitsuki is a guy, so If they get any 1 on 1 time he might refer to her as a his niece and spill some of the beans that way.

"The face she'd make once she gets it, I really wanted to see what it'd look like."

That's not very straight of you, Mitsuki.

I love how they incorporated the nail polish.

The way she's obsessing over a tiny smudge that Aya probably wouldn't have noticed anyway is such a relatable experience.

Oh my god. Mitsuki is absolutely flying by the seat of her pants, but she lands it every single time!

I'm completely addicted to this, their dynamic is sublime. The way Mitsuki manages to be smooth almost out of instinct coupled with Aya being ready to swoon over her for the smallest reasons. They're a perfect match.

I really hope that we'll get to see Aya swooning over her being on stage, I'm almost swooning myself just thinking about it lmao

Not me shipping An-chan with Kyouko based on nothing but her look on page two. Fashionable A type single mom x calm seamstress with a small business, yes please. It's atrocious how quickly I sold myself on this.

Anyway, fingers crossed that An-chan finds out about fairies and meets Kyouko when Momo and/or Mari inevitably cause trouble.

Ohhhh, HERE'S the actual love interest. Ren's an ex, and Chen's just a touchy friend. CaiCai's mom has a crush on Youzi's mom, or they're tentatively dating.

Oh god, I was kind of shipping CaiCai and lil' Youzi based on chapter 2, So I guess I hope that doesn't happen if they end up as sisters in law lmao

A new/actual love interest could be fun, what if she's another ex though?

So many options... I'd be fully on board with CaiCai and lil' Youzi parent trapping them though.

I don't think Mizuki's sexuality is important in this context. Clearly what she takes issue on is the fact that Tsuzuki doesn't treat love as seriously as she does. That seems to be her main dilemma rather than being gay or what.

Is it love that Mizuki takes that seriously, or just the concept of weddings? She seems much more invested in setting up the weddings of others, but almost completely indifferent to her own. Like sure she's overwhelmed by what Tsuzuki is doing because she doesn't know what Tsuzuki's doing. But is she taking issue with Tsuzuki's approach to romance, or to her inserting her triad into Mizuki's ideas about what a wedding should look like.

Because that's what we know for certain Mizuki cares deeply about, giving people a perfect wedding.
