The truth comes out.

The girl with the prosthetic leg is crying, so it's pretty easy to infer she's feeling some kind of loss

Kishi-sensei gave this picture the title "Transfer Student", which suggests that this is the normal way these girls welcome transfers to their school.

Need a Science Babies tag for that last page.

Calling it now, there's gonna be a schedule conflict between Kase's race and Yamada's contest.

If you say "Twitter delenda est", it sounds classier and more educated. Because Latin.

I thought the Nurse and Shizuka were flirting, and I was bracing myself for a whole new level of drama. Thought they were kissing on page 8, too.

A++ Credit Page. Would LOL again.

Aw yiss, my fave ship sails again.

How things have changed. Back in the early days of the manga, Shizuka was in the habit of not wearing any underwear at all, and would often tease Mio with it.

Seems like there are a lot of chapters under this tag that have been thoroughly tagged.

Ed and Ian have never been portrayed as anything other than a happy, loving, well-adjusted and emotionally stable gay couple. You people who are constantly expecting skeletons to suddenly jump out of every closet need to adjust the media you consume.

I think by "you people" you mean 1 person. Unless I missed something the rest of us commenting on the subject agree with you I believe haha

I've been on this site for 8 years. I've seen plenty of Dynasty readers assume the absolute worst about the most harmless of situations and interactions, in complete contravention of all the textual and meta-textual evidence we have at our disposal. It's not a phenomenon limited to one person posting in the past 20-30 messages of this thread.

This was cute and fun. I dig it.

And still loving MayoKao. It feels like the Vamp has settled down a bit, and Mask has really learned how to handle her.

He's really selling Kaoru's face-turn, and as a former Kaoru disliker, I am here for it.

Kishi-sensei is a masterful tease. Giving the readers what they want, but doing so with maximum plausible deniability.

Poor Mari being hung out to dry. It's like the old joke where the masochist says "hurt me!" and the sadist says "no".

Them shiny cheeks tho.

Nonnon lookin' thicc.

Very meta. I think I am insufficiently grounded in the LL! Superstar! fandom to completely follow the threads here, but it's always good to see Mezashi again.

I mean, this one seems a little unclear to me? You could interpret it as "Mask groped Kaoru and Kaoru is thinking about it later in the bath" but it also feels like it could be read as "Kaoru fell asleep in the bath and had a smutty dream about Mask."

But I mean, that could just be my brain struggling with the 180 this ship did a few installments ago.

Yeah, I got a little of that ambiguity myself. I think it's real, but I also wouldn't be surprised if it's not.

I just wanna give props to the translators because (as I understand things) Mask is using kind of an archaic and overly formal style of Japanese, like the kind you'd use in the presence of royalty or something, and they're managing to translate it into an equally stuffy and archaic style of English.

I have not found this particular arc as stressful as others have found it, but I am quite glad it's over. It would be nice if we could go back to the diabetes-inducing WAFF of the earlier series, but I fear that "We've never fought" line is straight-up foreshadowing.

Dang, who opened the floodgates today?
