Wait why's everyone sad i don't get it (i haven't watched AoT)

one of them died for the sake of the other who got forced into a het marriage so she can make babies for the royal bloodline

fuck aot btw

Rinne is a national treasure

Wish Norika got undressed too.

Such an overlooked but fundamental truth spoken here.
I hope the next chapters feature Ririka topping Norika. Onee-san is a good girl too, after all.

You know, it's actually sweet that Norika is nothing but supportive towards Rira and her emotional baggage. There's no "you're a bad girl" or "you're dirty for liking this" - Rather than attempt to isolate her with shame, humiliation and guilt, Norika from the beginning has only told Rira that she's a good, hardworking and honest girl that shouldn't be ashamed about wanting things. It's exactly the kind of praise, affection and encouragement that Rira clearly lacks at home, yet craves more than anything else.

Therefore, I elect that this manga should get the wholesome tag.

Uika did nothing wrong, but unironically.

Yes, I'm also a SayoHina fan, how did you know

I don't think the mutilation is extra - it's something that represents physical proof of their bond, that they're exclusive to each other, and probably why Mizuki can accept that Sayori won't tire of her even when they are apart, like what happened to the couple in their novel.

Much more romantic (and painful) than rings!

I think in a weird way, their relationship absolutely is wholesome.

In setups like this, most of the time the couple becomes more and more dependent on each other. The typical development would be that Sayori gives up on the idea of going to another college for the sake of their love. But really that's just accepting the fact that in the end, there's a lack of trust between the two in that hypothetical scenario.

But that's not how this situation ended up playing out - because they irrevocably marked each other with those scars, it actually resulted in a greater degree of trust between the two. Mizuki accepts that Sayori has to independently do certain things for her own sake (which is what going to a separate college effectively entails in this scenario) and is perfectly happy, currently betraying not a single hint of doubts that Sayori has become disinterested in her. At some point they had to have sat down and talked the situation out, coming to some kind of compromise about what Sayori needs to do to realize her full potential.

I think it's also hilarious to imagine them having the most passionate fucking session after cutting each other up, and then, while they're lying in each other's blood and other fluids, Sayori going "ok fr tho im not going to your college its shit ngl" and Mizuki being like "uuuuuuugh fine no you're right this place is shit."

If you think about the future the two of them share together, it's happy. They trust each other. They're realizing their own goals, even if it means they will have to spend time apart. They have the approval of their families to live together. Of course, the incident that triggered this was twisted, but in some weird way they actually benefited from it. It's like, super romantic.

all the cowards who preen on about how much they love toxic yuri, now avert their eyes when things get properly spicy

Not sure if the author was processing something or just wanted to write a fairly bad main protagonist of this short story but her cognition of the world is totally backwards. Azu is the fake one and the people trying to get their revenge on her were fairly forthright and honest about it.

Everyone here kinda sucks and not even in an endearing or hot way, just kinda annoying

I don't know how you define "honest" and "fake" but that's absolutely not true, if you go by what Rena defines as honesty.

Rena can trust Azu's words at face value. Azu would never lie to her, if only because she's so shameless she doesn't care enough to deceive her. In Rena's view, this is honest because she can trust Azu will say whatever she genuinely thinks to her.

Rena cannot trust her classmates' words, however, and the example given in the story is their attempt to feign concern over Rena when they really just want her as a tool to get revenge on Azu. One of them tells Rena, "Just let me know next time she pisses you off!" but she isn't saying that because she cares about Rena's feelings as much as using it as pretext to attack Azu, deserved or not.

Also Rena is so fucking attractive I swear to god.

Damn, I love every character in this.

I don't get it, this isn't a trans manga. I think about wanting to be a woman and in a lesbian relationship all the time, but that doesn't make me trans.

Yeah, I only fantasize about being a woman the normal amount.

Is this another "I want to be a cute girl but I'm definitely cis, you guys" thing?

I hope not, the protagonist explicitly wishes to have been born as a woman.

help

this manga is trying to kill me with how fucking cute it is

It can still be a SoL harem. Sophia ostensibly saved the kingdom so she isn't necessarily evil or anything... however she may have done it. The fundamental element of her personality in this scenario is her need for control.

As for the direction of the story, it could just be written that Sophia starts acting a possessive and obsessive over Machino once Machino gets closer and closer with Olivia. She's already my favorite but that would make her even more peak.

unhinged theory incoming

it's weird that the nobles instantly accepted and praised sophia as the rightful heir to the kingdom without a fight - that she's so universally, almost unnaturally beloved by the people. So i started thinking:

Sophia is actually going to be the main antagonist that used some kind of "charm magic" to manipulate the entire kingdom to be under her thumb. She was said to have brought peace to the kingdom through the "persuasive power of her kindness" which could sound a little ominous if you look at it a certain way. Remember that Sophia was also adopted, not born, into the royal family as well.

Maybe Olivia is the only one who passively resisted it because of her own unnatural magical aptitude. It would also explain Sophia's somewhat unnatural degree of kindness towards Olivia if there's an ulterior motive behind it - Olivia outright spurns and scorns Sophia, who seems unbothered and continues to try to persuade her into friendship. Sophia could just be a saint... or maybe she's trying to win over the person she can't magically charm onto her side.

she also could be seen as the one who caused the isekai thing too back in chapter 1 - the dialogue box specifically asked "Sophia wants to meet with you. Will you go?" which could be interpreted such that Sophia is the one who instigated the entire incident.

also, in a meta sense, it's kind of odd to me that the author seems to be building up Olivia as the main heroine of the story and not Sophia. We're learning so much about Olivia's inner struggles, her history, etc... and yet almost nothing about Sophia beyond the surface level qualities that pretty much were shown since the first chapter, despite the first volume focusing solely on Sophia. The above would also explain why the story is going in that direction.

i love this

Fuck me, literally first time ever Kodama Naoko actually starts fleshing out a plot and then this happens

And honestly it makes no sense, it should end with both going their separate ways: Blondie returning to her loveless, but socially aceptable, marriage and brunette moving on with her life, I mean that's realistic and human after all

For good or bad (good for me), despite her reputation for messy drama, Kodama rarely ends her stories with misery or some mono no aware ass bittersweetness - things always work out for the heroines.

i didnt know i loved giant fluffy pink women as much as I do before I read this.

her chest adds to the design.

The main character is essentially just a perverted old man in a high school girls body and uses that to their advantage. Crazy manipulative so I can’t root for them but I’m interested from a story perspective

Hey, women can be manipulative perverts too

in fact, being a manipulative pervert is actually a plus if it's a cute girl.

I've been needing something like this since kodama hasn't written anything recently.

My main question with the time travel is what happened to the Mary of the new timeline. Mistress still remembers her so she wasn’t erased, but she doesn’t seem to be around.

Other than that, fun oneshot.

The maid doesn't exist in the current timeline because the Mistress only vaguely remembers her. It's one of those situations where it's lingering memories of another life, if Mary actually existed as a maid in this timeline there's no way she'd only be able to barely recall her as "that girl"

I am both happy and sad, help.

It's gonna be hard for shimanura if she is an extrovert while having a clingy introvert girlfriend who wants her all by herself.I hope she can handle it well before this relationship gets toxic af.

Shimamura is just as much of an introvert as Adachi - if not more.

Peak romance
