This chapter was very cute, especially page 12~

I knew Matsuri was best girl!

I always end up dropping these power fantasy isekai series, even when the gimmick is "yuri". So far, I don't feel too differently about this one...

Page 23 is just symbolism, I'm sure. Like Himewari said, Miya is literally "out of the picture" now. The police markers aren't actually pointing out any evidence, they're just labeling Eko and Risa as 1 and 2 as subtext to go along with the literal text on the page ("Now it's just the two of us."). Miya's corpse is drawn on the last panel of page 22 and the first of page 24, so I have a hard time believing that it's anything else.

I am starting to wonder what happen to that group of survivors...Because MC does not show any signs or experience in killing people...so either that means A.) Risa is responsible (unconscious attack them?), B.) It was truly a group conflict where they all killed each other...ironic if MC's suggestion on what happen was true C.) Random zombie or invader/raider got in and they accidentally killed each other in the conflict, the raider/invader looting their stuff. D.) -insert other reason-

I always thought it was C personally; Risa goes out for fresh air and Eko goes out after her, leaving the cameras unwatched (the girl who initially let them in was asleep). We're not explicitly shown, but I figured Eko left the doors open with how little she cares about anyone who isn't Risa and zombies could have gotten in while the two protags were having their bonding moment.

I really dislike the parents, both of them. I wonder if the story will really redeem them or will they just always stand in the way ? Children are not their parent's tool or even property. Let her be happy, she has done more than enough for this world...

"Grief" and how we cope with it feels like a very important theme to this story, so I'm guessing that the unhealthy way Aino's parents (maybe her mom especially) raised her as a replacement for her brother will be important later, whether that was a conscious choice on Aino's parents' part or not.

In Sal Jiang's tweet about this chapter, she also (cheekily) raises questions of whether Moon is a man or a woman. The confusion seems intentional, and maybe it's not supposed to be clear yet. I didn't consider that maybe even the witches who sent them on this hunt were mistakenly thinking Moon was a woman, too (which would explain chapter 6's list). So it could go either way. It should be a fun chapter next, as always.

My assumption right now is that Moon is only playing up the "Prince" persona to lure Hanako in, and does this regularly (either as a witch for some kind of nefarious spellcasting purpose, or just as a player getting with girls). Whether this is just a persona for convenience, Moon is just crossdressing for fun, or if there's some kind of transgender commentary to come seems up in the air, though.

This writing is incredibly frustrating is what it is. It's obvious that Komaki and Wakana are endgame and we're supposed to root for them, but I really can't bring myself to when Matsuri is right there as an infinitely more appealing option.

I could see a few chapters of tug-of-war becoming an alliance of Girls Loving Asumi, which would lead to fun threesome times. I dunno for sure if I foresee this becoming a closed-triangle in which Mai and Nanao also love each other, but I don't think either one will end up heartbroken in the end either.

No way, my cool uncle cameo-ing in a Battan manga!

hana had so many cute faces in this one!! ｡ﾟ(ﾟ´ω`ﾟ)ﾟ｡

i might just be dumb but i cant tell if prince moon is a boy or a girl T_T i thought maybe they were a handsome girl but i could be wrong

All witches are girls. Obviously.

It's a throwaway line, but during her debut livestream, Sadako says "I'm a witch, so I'm a woman" when a commenter asks her gender. It's possible that there are male witches, but it doesn't seem to be the "default".

If she DID stalk someone, then she’d have been arrested for it, no?
...
I also think if she did stalk a student, she’d have gotten expelled and it’d appear on her student record?

You would be surprised!

Keyboard shift cipher on Escape Day:
its no use i cant escapw her

So the video is presumably from the PoV of the author who tried to escape and Hinami took "escape day" as her chance to re-capture him, not a video Hinami took of her romp outside.

she's just like me frfr

I dunno if this story got an early axe or if it was always meant to be about one volume in length but I can't help but feel like Miriko was under-used... I do like that Komugi is still loyal to Spacedark-kun with her shirt in the last chapter.

Good catch!

My earlier worry is still kinda sitting in the back of my head, namely that we had an entire volume to get to know Sofia but Olivia is already departing after only a couple focus chapters. I guess it can't be helped that Olivia is feeling cucked (how harsh for her to hear Machino mumble Sofia's name in her sleep instead of being relieved for her arrival!) and doesn't wanna stick around though.

Reo is a cutie.

Reo is a baddie with the oversized hoodie + fishnets combo. And is she wearing heels on page 222? Also, peep that height difference on page 208. We already know Runa is pretty short compared to Ichika but it's nice to have it highlighted again :V

being Seteth is suffering

Whoa, it hasn't been a full year yet!

I think if we saw some of those 3 months where Ami was being ignored and getting the cold shoulder from Rei it would make this a bit more satisfying. Since we're just told it happened, we don't get the uh... "Satisfaction" of seeing that kind of "justice"(?) happen to her. But we're just told that it happened due to time (space?) limit and it can feel unsatisfying in that regard.

But I think it's told its story well. Ami has few moments when she starts realizing things and she has real issues expressing herself which outside of her "shitty" behavior is the other issue that leads to that breakup moment at the amusement park. Again, if we saw more of those 3 months it would be way better.

I hate to call the story "rushed" since it seems to have been planned as a single-volume story from the start, but an extra chapter or two for the 3-month and 10-year timeskips would have gone a long way. Probably not enough to justify an entire second volume though, which is why I figure the author had to end it the way it did.

Wholesome Pussy Lick.....

This one's honestly kinda aggravating to read; if anyone tried to treat me the way Komaki treats Wakaba, I'd beat them up right away. I wanna cheer for Matsuri but our main couple is pretty set in stone and I'm too invested to quit now too, though :V

Ah, so I didn't misread that tag...

"We believe in you, bikini armor!"
We don't believe in Sexy Fujiyama at all though :V

I really really like this story so far, but I worry that the need to introduce all the other game's characters is gonna mess with the slow pacing we've established after having so many chapters to just get to know Sofia. Keeping my fingers crossed!
