no way in hell would she get away with changing in and out of her gym clothes with that stuff lol

I was also wondering how the hell she got changed in front of the other girls lmao

Maybe she's got one of those modesty cover things you put over your head as a sorta mobile dressing tent of sorts you sometimes see in manga (I assume they exist in real-life but I never seen or heard of them outside of Japanese stuff ^^).

... also it seems to be acceptable to go change in the toilets if you're embarrassed. Again, going by manga knowledge ;)

My guess would be they want the teacher as a club advisor because school manga logic and all that. Whether that involves her getting bitten too or not ... hm. Probably. Yeah. Probably.

Hmm, now I wonder how the broader witch community thinks of a transmasc witch...er? Perhaps out protagonists are getting roped into some sort of trans- or androphobic witch hunt (pun absolutely intended) and moon is actually one of the good guys.

Witches seem to have sharp canines and claw-ish hands. Mostly. Moon has neither. Not saying it's conclusive but I suspect they aren't a witch. I'd even suspect they are clueless about witches altogether and are somehow innocent in all this (or maybe they figured something out but don't quite know - well, we don't know yet either xD ).

I mentioned google translate because the other guy was saying that I was "disingenuous" (?) for using AI to translate stuff and call it a translation, whatever that means.

You were. Your post implied you were doing the translating ("I tried translating..."), instead of stating something along the "here is an AI translation" line. On a scanlation page this seems to be a particularly obvious distinction to make, and I'll further say you are being disingenuous when you act is if it isn't.

... though interesting as this debate is I suspect the mods will soon come yell at us. ^^

This has gone from just being bad to being hilariously awful. But okay.

Easy: At first they only had one witch running wild and send another one after her. Because that didn't work, they tried it another three times. That's why everyone on the council looked so jaded.

I like the idea, but I don't see the council looking jaded. In fact the strongest reaction we get is a "huh?!?" to the idea of this "exchange" ^^#

Maybe it'll become clearer once we know what problem with "MMM" is in the first place.

Sadako clearly has no clue about romance (or relationships in general) so this arc will presumably teach her how that works. Manga love their externally induced character growth.

... what I don't get is why the witch council feels it's fine for Sadako to run wild if only she solves this issue. If she succeeds, that surely just means they replaced one problem with a different one.

With the initial premise and its development I'd say they hit the balance between character growth and not entirely dismissing those feelings quite well.

Not a bad little series.

Four rinshan kaihos in a row would probably make minor global news even in our non-mahjong-obsessed world. It's that astronomically unlikely.

... as expected this match is really about Achiga.

The "previous" arc included the jealous "ex" of sorts trying to interfere (although tbh it kinda feels somewhat unresolved still), and it wasn't played like the usual stupid drama at all. The simply talked about and resolved the issue before it became one.

So I'd be very surprised if this were now being played like a complete cliche. At least for long.

This just reeks of stupid drama edgyness, though probably Asian work culture can be like that (esp. that you are then expected to play nice and get drunk with her).

Well, that was a bit all over the place ... and than in a rather surprising place ^^

Given the scale of the DMCA I wouldn't be surprised if there's some debating giving up MD altogether.

My only issue is either lulu learned Japanese culture quickly, or the author doesn't realize how different their culture is.

Somewhat stereotyping, but I find Japanese manga (etc) are just meh at this in general. Characters are almost always just Japanese with a superficial coating of "foreignness". Doesn't matter whether it's aliens, demons, monsters, historical people, real foreigners ... ^^

I mean, yeah. There's something there.

But at the same time this whole "the alien is just a highschool girl from another outer space and otherwise basically human with a silly name and dealing with the typical human highschool problems" feels somewhat trite at this point; and like one of those anime tropes you've seen a billion times. Maybe I just got a grumpy day, but I wished it was a bit ... more.

The ideas of these are often fine, but actually reading them borderline makes me feel like I'm dealing with AI-generated content. Same style, simplistic writing, same characters everywhere. dunno. It's a weird thing ^^#

The 4D-chess-way for a mother to turn her daughter off the pet play fetish path.

it's read as Yura instead of Yui

Split the difference and call her Yuri.

This really doesn't give me Nanoha vibes. Maybe it's just been too long; must of the newer ones don't really work for me ...

With the parents being doctors there's 1% chance she's in the plot to help "cure" the enthrallment (by manga-logic if the parents are docs the kids now medical things, so). But that'd probably be too much story so ... I rather expect her to end up getting bitten too.

Gen question but how one knows a manga got axed and not that it was simply planned as a short series?

Vibes.

On the whole I thought it was pretty mediocre. Okay idea, middling execution.

I'll kinda assume this is meant to be "ice queen" who is secretly doing nice things (like giving a pregnant woman effectively paid time off, sorta?), but it just comes across ... badly.

Actually less bossy and such compared to other works by the author, all things considered, I'd say.

Blood type influencing how much you get bitten by mosquitos does sound like bullshit though ...
