nonsense like Zun x Beer

I fail to see how Zun x Beer is nonsense.

^ I think it's just because the author likes the characters — both were in their popularity poll picks list the past three years.

^^ There was an old fan theory that Sakuya's secretly a Lunarian, so the ship was somewhat popular back when Imperishable Night was first released.

At this rate, EVERYONE is going to know they're wildly in love with each other before they do.

So no change? :D
Kogumom knows, Omichii knows, Rin knows. That's the cast. Their teacher might be the only character that had more than one line who doesn't.

Flaming hot Dorito.

It's just deduction. To truly master the guitar, you have to practice day and night.

You forget the biggest "problem". Most of the cast are suposs to be middle schoolers.

Number one reason I'm concerned about the adaptation. Like these are 14 year olds and grade schoolers getting put in highly sexual situations. People are gonna talk MAD abt this

I mald so hard every day remembering BL and het series mostly get away with it but for some reason yuri has zero immunity

But at the same time I really would rather not have "basedlolicon1488" trying to defend something that's definitely too specific for them to truly enjoy

Edit: There's also the fact that 90% of the reason the cast is middle schoolers is because that's magical girl convention smh... if this started getting written after Hirogaru Sky now that it's got an adult in the main Cure squad it wouldn't be entirely tweens

I disagree that the series would work as well with adults. Underneath all of the perversion, MahoAko is a coming of age story — they "La Verita" (the Truth) when they accept something important about themself. And sexual development is super important in the 13-15 years. That isn't to say adults can't sexually develop, but from a thematic perspective, it works so much better with the characters being stereotypical magical girl age.

So the swap happened when they accidentally kissed. Does Hino-san no Baka take place in the Swap-Swap extended universe?

No cause this switch is dramatic, not convinient

I see... Then will they find Swap-Swap and try it as an alternative to hitting heads/sleeping it off? I'm just looking for catalyst that causes them to almost kiss before Kogu/Hino wakes up from the fall...

^^ I think Okuu would be a good enough mother. She's simple but earnest, so she'd be very caring of her daughter. Tenshi? Okuu's probably better of keeping her away and demanding child support.

https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/about_a_college_girl_who_gets_picked_up_at_a_mixer_by_an_older_girl_ch41#12 Oh dear. After 40 chapters of relationship progress, they've regressed into useless lesbians...

This might not even be a big exaggeration of the canon heights of these two. Marisa and Meiling are significantly shorter and taller than average, respectively.

Marisa's not that short. Canonically, she's a little shorter than Reimu, who, in turn, is average in height. There is the infamous picture of Marisa and Kosuzu next to a seated Rinnosuke, but that deviates from other representations.

I was worried Tae was going to ask for a kiss. Instead she jumps straight to hand holding ///

Okay, but what did Hitomi ask for?

Nothing. Best loli can't speak...

Why does the boss look like the dad from Anonymous Agony?

^ She was ranked 10 of 159 in this year's popularity poll, so yes.

For being a manga about magical girls who are exploring their kinks, all of the main cast are surprisingly well developed. Like, the kinks are aren't their only defining character traits, and they're frequently used for plot development. If you tried to describe the series in one sentence, it'd probably sound like smut, but it's honestly one of the best currently active romance mangas...
Also, since I'm not sure I've seen it stated here, Akihiro-sensei's faces drive this manga so much. The fact it's a bit slapstick gives the manga leeway to make really exaggerated facial reactions, and so much of the tone gets set by the expressions in each panel.

I'm not sure I understand the dynamic here. I can understand the mangaka not wanting to be exposed, but why would the stepsister not be like, "Yo, love your work!"?

There's also Miko, who's the reincarnation of Prince Shoutoku. The canon's not explicit on this, but a lot of fans interpret her as trans, choosing to reincarnate with a female body.

I can't tell if the scans failed or if it's a weird form of censorship...

Dynasty adds a white box behind the displayed image. It has a minimum height, so some of the pages that are short may look like they're not finished loading.

This is like the third wedding art with these two in a row lol

Some glorious madman went around commissioning these.

Now I'm disappointed. Here I thought Maki was going to be the bottom for once.

I really don't know where the negativity is coming from with this. There are a few chapters for setting up the new opponents and their intents, but then it's more playthings for Baiser.

Endless new characters

Since chapter 12 we've been introduced to 3 new characters... That's 0.1 characters per chapter... They're also not just the same baddies as before but more powerful. They're not evil like Lord, but they're not warriors of justice like Tres Magia. They seem like magical girls who leaned into their sexual side super hard so they have a different, yet unveiled path. I'm optimistic for where this is going.

chapters where nothing basically happens

Chapter 36: Introduction to the Shio-chans. They clearly establish themselves as a third party that will be antagonistic toward both Baiser and Tres Magia. We also see that Venalita speaks rather casually with Vatz, which is intriguing.
Chapter 37: Sulfur starts to deal with her developing feelings for Magenta.
Chapter 38: Relationship development between Utena and Sayo. Utena completes the part of her arc where she moves from being a reluctant pawn of Venalita to accepting the entirety of herself. The change had progressed over the series, but it was nice for her to recognize it herself.
Chapter 39: I think there's a ton of good in this chapter. First, we don't see much power creep from Berserga, which is great from new characters. I was worried about it at the end of chapter 35, but they directly stated earlier that berserk Baiser was a blob of magical energy that was caught off guard. Second, big-horn Baiser shows up right from the start instead of showing up when she gets excited/horny in the middle of a fight. I think this shows that chapter 38 wasn't just filler but an actual shift in Baiser in terms of her strength and motivations.

Looking at these four chapters, half of them have the Shio-chans either staying out of the way or actively supporting the interactions between the main cast. For new characters being introduced to an established setting, I think they're working pretty well.

I don’t know much about Touhou, but aren’t Maribel and Renko not from Gensokyo? Is this an alternate universe thing then since Aya and Hatate are there too?

Correct, this isn't accurate to Touhou canon. However, each Mugendai doujin seems to take place in a separate universe with the only constant between them being Renko and Merry love having sex with each other.
