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!

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!

I always enjoy Pandacorya's exaggerated artstyle for smut :3c

My theory is that they're not really homeless, just stupid and dramatic.

This is a really charming little manga.

Rather than homeless in the way we'd think of it in the west, they're likely all runaways. There hasn't been anything implying they have to do sex work the way real-life runaway teens in Japan usually end up being forced to do (they're broke all the time anyway) but it's a little hard to say just how heavy the manga is gonna be in the end with Ozaki's memory loss remaining unresolved.

to either hetero interactions or penetration (can't remember which, I think maybe the latter)

Yeah, I think it's PIV that's illegal. Anything else is fair game.

The oddly specific wording for what's illegal in outdated Japanese law is "payment for coitus between strangers". So on top of all sorts of homosexual services and heterosexual services not involving coitus, you also get the soapland model in which a message serves to get them "acquainted" and any coitus that happens afterwards is "free love" (with the subsequent payment being a "gift"). Cops still sometimes crack down on such businesses when they've got nothing better to do though, often in the guise of busting up illegal immigration.

they're both so stupid ♥

Those Chinfuwa goods are really top quality.

i miss you............

I just wonder what'll happen first, a third mention of the name that Remu actually picks up on or Komugi and Meguru running into each other by happenstance.

I'm personally predicting that they'll run into each other in passing via Yakou and they won't recognize each other's faces.
