I've seen gay panic before, but this is some of the gayest and most panicky it's ever been.

It's leaning a little too hard into sexist stereotypes (that is, stereotypes of sexism) and trivial criticism of the main characters for my suspension of disbelief. Every single time someone else seems reasonable, they have to say something that reverses or undercuts it. The writing feels like it has all the grace, nuance, wisdom, and polish of an angry middle-schooler's rant about how mean and unfair the world is.

I'll keep reading because the main characters are decent enough, the setting is weird and cool, and the artist likes putting them in attractive outfits all the time, but damn is the allegorical technique on display thus far just JV as fuck.

Damn, I can't believe that the cliffhanger got resolved without an asspull. I'm honestly impressed.

Uploader artificially backdating the releases (even though they were all just added less than a week ago) so that only a few show up on the front page and everyone thinks it's always been here and can just ignore it

You bring no smiles of joy to anyone's face by doing this, and instead bury a cool series. Why shoot yourself in the foot this way?

You been hit by, you've been struck by, a smooth general.

Oh, thank God I wasn't the only one to go there.

I believes in nothing, Itou-san! Nothing! And tomorrow we will come back to cut up the bones!

It's not yuri, but have you read BIBLIOMANIA?

Was that the one with bibliothermic warheads (one of the raddest terms I've ever seen constructed)?

I fucking love high-contrast-shadow art styles so much.

"I can't call this gap moe."

Priceless.

It's fucked up, for sure, but since when have high school girls been great decision makers? Not to mention high school girls with magic at their disposal? I think it's an entirely understandable choice, whether or not it's the right one.

Waitress girl looks cute when she gets done up.

Also, the movie that the manager is really hype about is almost certainly one of the Fast And Furious movies, the Japanese releases of which all have absurd names beginning with "Wild Speed", so his enthusiasm is understandable.

Just a little something for the translator's notes, Daphie.

Okay, so. Not a ghost, but that's all I've got.

I had a cat that would lie down next to me and start purring loudly when I practiced my classical guitar.

I wasn't even that good at it.

Metronyaam.

I REMEMBER EVERYTHING!

I remember every last little thing as if it happened only yesterday.

I was barely 19, and I once kissed a girl in the frozen time...

That got a bit KKHTA at the end

i strained my eyes so that you don't have to
secret message says: "why do i- why does seiren have to go through this? i- we only wanted to be happy. or is this what true happiness is? if it is... this is too much for me. but if the world says that it's a mistake... if the world is destroyed..."

Hey, thanks!

I'm assuming we're about to see what happens when one goes, but not the other. I'm betting on one of two outcomes:
1) A reset like what's been happening already, or
2) Kinka totally does die from the train, and Kazura thinks that the curse has been lifted, and goes to off herself -- and then once they're both dead, the reset happens.

Art is shockingly and pleasantly top-notch. Looking forward to seeing where this goes!

Chapter 17 has the general making expressions like a gyaru gossiping in class, and it's great.

“You gotta change something so that everything stays the same.”
-- Lampedusa, Il Gattopardo, 1958

I wasn't expecting a quote from Il Gattopardo here. A person of culture, I see. (ღˇ◡ˇ)b

The quote originally mocked so-called progressive politicians who make a big deal of cosmetic changes and actually help protect the establishment. I guess it can be applied to the plot development of certain works of fiction.

Cool! I have now a new reference to use when I comment on things like The Guy She Was Interested in Wasn't a Guy At All.

It hurts because it's accurate!
