I've been reading Chinese gl novels for years and finally seeing a few here now, I have to say I'm ecstatic.

I very much agree with the idea of giving the system an actual form. I feel it would be much more difficult to depict someone speaking to the system in their consciousness in manhwa/manhua rather than a novel which gives full play to your own imagination and understanding of it.

Either way, I'm super excited to see these being translated on dynasty the last few months.

Perhaps witches grow differently than we think. Maybe at a certain age they just evolve into their adult form, or this story is going to feel much different when reading.

I really don't like this trope. What did you expect to happen?

"I told you to leave, now I'm wallowing in self pity and loathing".

I remember reading a sentence somewhere that went something like, 'The moment you made the decision, you lost all right to regret it'. If she really wanted to distance herself, then she should bury all that pain and hesitation deep enough that it never shows up in her actions or on her face.

I hope this is like the beginning of 'Horimiya'. I'd love if she was the only one who saw the other side of the nerdy girl in class.

(Maybe she's rocking some heavy tatts as well)

I wonder what led the author to write two such similar stories. One time's a unique idea, 2 times is suspicious, but if there's a third time, then it's probably experienced. Might go check all the series' created by this author just to satisfy my conjecture.

The first chapter talks about Amemiya being silent, but Tamura doesn't seem to start conversations very often either. Most of the dialogue is in her head, so I'm looking forward to seeing if she's also seen as a quiet and unapproachable person as well.

I see chapter 3's couple as a pitiful future. One who will do anything to keep the one she loves by her side, knowing that the longer she continues to do this the more and more twisted her original feelings will become. It's the knowing that you can have everything about that person, except the one thing you're longing for the most, that type of emptiness really isn't worth what you get from the relationship.

And the other, who will atone for not being able to return the feelings that the other one has. She must believe it to be her greatest sin, great enough that she can throw away everything to repay it; her happiness, her future, even potentially her love, if ever she finds it.

This couple feels like they'll be together for a long time. Falling deeper into the abyss, knowing that they should end this pitiful, toxic relationship, but just can't extricate themselves from it.

OK, just no. Those last 2 rules are breaking so many workers laws & ethics violations that I question how they're still in business. For starters only paying in cash allows them to easily commit fraud & tax violations, if I'd have heard this alone I'd jump ship & report it.

Then these idiots are audacious enough to CHARGE their EMPLOYEES for being late. That's ridiculous on so many levels and if this practice is actually common in Japan then it's no wonder their economy is in the toilet.

Hasn't sex work been associated with organised crime for decades? I wouldn't be surprised if that representative is part of a "family". That type of place would use rules that a normal workplace wouldn't, so it wasn't that shocking to me.

Also, they pay in cash probably because they're paid in cash. Don't really expect clients to go and pay for sexual acts with their credit cards.

Would there be tax evasion? Abosu-fucking-lutely, but if they pay their employees fair wages and proper overtime then I don't see an issue. If I was in that situation, I'd declare only the standard hours I worked, all overtime never seemed to happen (that's only based on if they treated their employees like humans, which seems iffy at the moment).

I wonder why they changed it in the manga so she doesn't have the dragon demon stone already imbeded in herself like in the LN? There was no dragon in the stampeed- it was an ogre right?

She had already killed a dragon and made a flying thingy out of it and got its stone and used it on herself in the past- here she is on her broom and the dragon is here?

I thought the same thing. I understand she said she was capable of killing the dragon using all the magic tools she possessed at the time, but now you've got a stampede as well as the dragon itself, it seems too much for someone who doesn't have the monstrous dragon abilities to use.

Also, in the light novel it's said that the tattoo is on her back. I always wondered, did she have Illya tattoo it on herself? It came off like she had done it herself, but that's almost impossible as I assume you'd need some sort of magic circle to turn your body into a "conduit" as she said, and with Euphilia's traditional and conservative thoughts and the fact that she's with Anise almost all of the day, when will Anise find time to even get it tattooed onto herself?

If this ends with some bullshit where she gets with her senpai (young), manages to convince senpai that she's the junior girl just to wake up back in the present where the senpai never married the dude and has been with her the whole time, then I'll be fuming.

Also a bit of a stupidly realistic question (seeing as there's time travel). How do you live without a bank account, house and valid identification that you'd need to get both of those things?

Wouldn't you be completely off grid, since everything you had has not yet been created?

Coincidentally placed lesbian couple just when she needs to know that it's a possibility that 2 girls can be together.... Fuck I love this story.

Is this the 'I'm straight, but I live with my girlfriend' trope? I would like to think that it's going to end with them together, but I'm not confident on this one.

Yes... Start to doubt. Only when doubting can we progress to the next stage of denial, and finally move on to acceptance (insert gif of some dude rubbing his hands together villanously).

Just came from an April fools chapter into another. Fooled me twice, hate this fckn day every year.

On a side note, this fit so well with the drawings, probably mixed half the proper translations with some false lines to make it smoother.

Forgot it was April fools today. Not gonna lie, kinda broken that this wasn't the actual chapter. Just bought some choccy milk though, so I'll pull through.

The manga completely derailed from the light novel. What happened? I understood that they would try and simplify some parts, but this is completely different.

How do you fuck up that mood with your actual feelings? Cockblocked yourselves with a confession, like come on.

The illustrations for this are very enjoyable. Overall it has a cute aesthetic, with just enough seriousness for it not to be too "chibi-esque". I do hope there are a few more chapters coming, since they have progressed to dating already.

I made that recipe this morning for breakfast to try it out. It wasn't bad, like a toasted ham sandwich with egg on it. For some reason I expected it to be a bit more interesting, though I guess it was fun preparing it.

Maki's getting more and more pitiable as every chapter goes by. Going to need to read a bunch of fluffy crap just to purge the thought of the continuous drama that I know is coming.

Seeing the new neighbours, I got "wife & wife" nostalgia. I need to go read that again.

What a refreshing pair. It would've been nice to see some progress between Yumimi and Nononon but this works too.

Damn it, this was a pretty flirtatious chapter with Onibi and Nao. However if I believe hard enough, I know my Onibi x Mask ship shall reach its destination... Probably.

I have been.... Delivered. My Onibi x Mask ship has started on its journey, and I am alive to see it off.
