Yo, what happened last night that they needed to wipe off sweat for?

I liked this chapter a lot. It's bothered me all this time, that Onibi is so lionized by the other manga club members despite her, you know, not drawing very well at all. It feels like a gag off-tone for the comic, Michiru for example is a talented photographer, clearly.
Since neither Honoka nor mask are idiots, it's always been so weird to me why they talk of Onibi's talent and her not actually having that - or that if she is supposed to genuinely have talent, why present it with a weird joke that she draws those yaoi triangle head scribbles.

With this chapter and the genuinely awesome and wise things Onibi had to say and show to Honoka in her hour of need (and who knows to Mask too similarly) you can get a reason why they might not see her drawings as they are but as they dream they are.

I mean they all draw pretty badly TBH, it's just an affectation to distinguish the in-universe manga from the actual manga they exist in. In-universe Onibi draws very well, but more importantly, she's unhinged about it.

... And now to not address that bath conversation again for half a hundred chapters, I imagine.

TBH both the girl and her fiance dodged a bullet. Anyone who proposes to their partner after going out for one (1) week is not ready for marriage, and neither is anyone who accepts such a proposal.

I can't help but feel there was an extremely obvious solution to this problem that was overlooked... Oh well.

Redo Of Healer ain't gross!

How in the world

Outstanding translation. Also I get why people might want to tag it horror as a TW, but tragedy? Seriously?

Which three women did Saber canonically fuck? :))

Not sure if serious, but the answer is Guinevere, Morgan and Rin. This is for a fairly broad definition of fucking, though, because canon implies Morgan basically just magically extracted Saber's sperm (she was a futanari at the time, long story); and also Rin was really the one fucking Saber, not the other way around. Some people like to think Dark Sakura had a turn too.

You know what, some people really do deserve to get cheated on, and I'm through trying to pretend they don't.

Nobody deserves to get cheated on just because they don't know how to do love. There's a first for everyone, mistakes will be made. Being inconsiderate isn't a death-penalty. At the end of the day, Yuni should have told Nanase exactly what was wrong. When Yuni did that on their anniversary, she should have ended it.

Nanase didn't do Yuni wrong knowingly, while Yuni did.

Being cheated on isn't a death sentence either. What's wrong with cheating is the deception, right? The betrayal of trust? Well, how many times has Nanase deceived Yuni into thinking she would even try to be a halfway-decent partner and change her ways, only to then betray her trust? Not to mention courting her and starting the relationship in the first place, apparently under the false premise that they would actually be girlfriends instead of distant acquaintances who hold hands once in a blue moon after making sure the neighborhood has been evacuated.

Also yeah, Yuni should tell her what's wrong, and she did. That was like half the festival chapter. Yuni has told Nanase what was wrong, explicitly and at great length, and Nanase promised to do better, and then didn't.

Also lol at people calling Yuni needy. Expecting your partner to call or even text you regularly, especially on your anniversary, is not being needy. Expecting your partner to show up to the dates you've scheduled together (as, you know, a date) is not being needy. What we're seeing here is only two or three weeks of a six-month relationship, during which Yuni has until now been unfailingly supportive while receiving next to nothing in return. Nanase is in a high school sports club, not a black company; she has time to spend on a date with her girlfriend. Even full-time pro athletes have time to spend with their family and their partners. Nanase isn't just too busy, she chooses deliberately and repeatedly not to spend time with Yuni.

Don't get me wrong, cheating is still wrong and Yuni should have broken up with Nanase instead. (Although I have to ask, after carrying this relationship on her back unaided for its entire duration, why is still and always on Yuni to do all the legwork?) But cheating on Nanase is like murdering a drug dealer. The act itself is wrong, but you're allowed not to feel bad for the "victim."

Nanase: puts her club ahead of Yuni at every opportunity, makes no effort whatsoever to spend even a second of her time on her, and shows no commitment at all in any way to the relationship she herself started

Also Nanase: casually expects Yuni to shell out hundreds of dollars on a solo trip to Osaka so she can support her for a couple hours and then spend the rest of that time alone while Nanase hangs out with her club as usual

You know what, some people really do deserve to get cheated on, and I'm through trying to pretend they don't.

^It is explicit that they sleep together. It is also explicit that they ONLY sleep together, and that this makes poor Jill desperately horny. Hence bad ending.

Am I missing something? Louko said spilling her latte on her reports is hours of work sent down the drain, but no, surely she can just print them out again. I know Japanese corporations expect you to handwrite your CV and cover letters like in the 17th century, but surely not your work reports?

Reminder that Kiara was a professional warrior before she opened KFP...

I'm really glad someone pointed all this out. Yeah, I'm no fan of Shizuka either but I find it surprising that more people gave Kaoru the pass so easily that there are people who are actually anticipating a Kaoru x Mask hookup. People are really down bad for beautiful eccentric characters that needs just the right person to "fix" them that it's like people forgot just how shitty Kaoru was to Shizuka, even just recently.

And Kaoru's toxicity can't just be attributed to "ah youth". It was literally YEARS of manipulation on her part. It's actually even more messed up that she found a new target to obsess over while suddenly losing interest in Shizuka when she finally developed interest again.

Did she even properly apologize to Shizuka for everything(she did some messed up things during and after their relationship)? Cause all I remember was Kaoru gaslighting her into thinking Shizuka was the only terrible one. I don't mind if Kaoru eventually finds someone, but girl needs some serious psychological help first.

This here too. It always bothered me how quickly people were willing to just forget about Kaoru being an outright abuser as soon as she found Mask (who, BTW, she is basically harassing at this point) while instantly piling hatred on Shizuka as soon as she misstepped. Which she did, of course, but Kaoru had spent years gaslighting her prior to this, it didn't come out of nowhere.

Everybody was afraid of Unohana since her first appearance. The last arc just told us why.

Bae is the most organized and seiso member of HoloEn. It's probably better to think of her as the manager of Chaos rather than its instigator: she also has to make sure there's not too much of it, and since all her genmates make so much of it, she has to compensate.

I don't think it's "unrealistic standards" or "high maintenance" to expect a five-minute call from your partner on your anniversary. Like, Yuni wasn't expecting Nanase to drop her volleyball and spend the whole day with her, she literally just wanted a short phone call. Are we supposed to believe that Nanase's volleyball practice is so nonstop and all-consuming that she can't take five minutes for a call? Indeed, that is beside the point, since we know for a fact that she just plain forgot.

This doesn't justify cheating, but if my partner so obviously prioritized freaking volleyball over our relationship on top of already being secretive and repressed about it on the rare occasion where they actually make time for me, I would break up with them.

There's a pretty serious misunderstanding in the comments here. Rushia wasn't terminated over her alleged (and almost certainly nonexistent) relationship with that other guy, whatever his name was. Hololive quickly came out to support her and state categorically that their talents' private lives are their own concern. Additionally, the huge majority of her fans supported her as well (as has been pointed out, her new channel already has a lot of viewers, most of whom obviously come from her audience as Rushia).

Rushia was terminated because in the course of investigating the incident with that other guy (as was probably routine procedure), Hololive eventually uncovered unrelated but very serious breaches of NDAs on her part. This made it basically untenable for them to NOT fire her: even if they had wanted to keep her, the risk would have been too great going forward. You can trust them on this because they all but spelled it out in their official statement about Rushia's termination, so if it wasn't true then Rushia could sue them into the next millenium.

That's also why the reactions were so muted among her colleagues and much of the fan base. It's sad, but ultimately Rushia was the one who screwed up, and very badly at that. TBH she was luckily to only get fired, breaching NDAs can have more serious consequences than that.

Trying to extract your arm from Kanata's grip, that's the definition of insanity.

Are there even enough female characters in Bionicle for a yuri pairing?

Very in-character.

That being said, I've seen a lot of fan content that assumes Mumei will eventually die before the others, and to that I can only say they are underestimating us.

It is unfortunate, I cannot find any evidence of Laplace being quite open minded to women (or not for that matter). I know some fellow scientists were actively supporting (a singular, to be fair, there just werent that many to support) woman. Namely Lagrange, Legendre and Gauß. Still, perhaps they (the author) deemed Laplace to be a cooler name. Although imo itd be Legendre for the plebs, and certainly Gauß for the educated. (Im just kidding of course, they were all brilliant)

I would wager that Laplace here isn't actually named after the scientist but after a thought experiment of his, Laplace's Demon, which aimed to demonstrate IIRC that if you know both the position and the momentum of every particle in a system you could predict its future perfectly.

For whatever reason Japan seems really infatuated with these kinds of things - there's a VTuber in Hololive who goes by Laplus (AKA Japanese respelling of Laplace), Maxwell's demon (another thought experiment about thermodynamics) is a Servant in Fate, and so on.

I too would be petrified if Suisei trapped me in a corner.

Please please please no love triangle, that's all I'm asking for. Poly ending would be good too though.

This is a real sugar bomb. Loved it. Also A-Zhe is a top-tier bro and an ally. May you find your prophesied big-tiddy girlfriend soon.

Kronii and Mumei's interactions have been increasingly heart-throbbing all month.
