@juanelric One of the Fatui Harbingers. She was shown in their teaser "A Winter Night's Lazzo".

Are the chapter 282.4 "notes" official from the author?

Man, that shot of Satsuki leaping out of building, explosions in the background, with Akira safely in arms is so badass.

I sure hope she's not sitting on the point on top of that building! :O

Careful with them horns, Girl!

It's been 84 years...

Miyoshi is basically that joke where they're just "really good friends" but she's such an airhead, that she actually does just think that they're just the best friends ever, but also she's definitely 100% in love with Ayano.

My prediction is that she's 100% in love with Ayano, but is terrified to take the risk of confessing because she doesn't want to lose Ayano as a friend.

My prediction is that she's 100% in love with Ayano, but is too much of an airhead to realize. I'm afraid we would need an "epiphany arch" kinda thing to have her realize she can't go on like this. Like, a guy confessing to Ayano.

Which would be hard, considering that aside from Earl Sandwich and a few other odds and ends like that, as far as I can remember there have been exactly two guys in this so far, both of them gay, both of them married (to each other), and an idiot couple to boot, so not that likely to be confessing to Ayano.

I seem to recall there was a chapter way back where Ayano was talking about some male clerk at a store who hit on her and Miyoshi was somewhat fixated on it.

@juanelric At a minimum, they met during the 2022 Latern Rite festival cutscene.

True connoisseur of hand holding.

HI. LOL

Oh, but that suspicious hand placement on page 4...

The glacier moves a bit.

The slowest couple on Earth continues.

Is there something that I'm missing about Kokomi? :O

Aw. Poor cousin-chan.

@BlueDsc If you are considering trying the game, here's some information that maybe would be helpful? The Salt Factory has a Youtube video (Is Genshin Impact Worth Playing?) that I think does a pretty good job explaining some considerations about playing the game including touching upon the gacha aspect of it. IMO, I think probably two things to factor in whether you should avoid the game are: How well are you able to handle disappointment, and are you the type of person that cannot deter themselves from something you want when you see it. Disappointment in the game comes in multiple forms including the obvious not getting a specific character or weapon that you want through the gacha mechanic, but another occurrence is (and is apparently a big enough problem that it makes even dedicated players consider quitting) there is a pure random element to gear upgrades that often leaves players not getting the desired outcome and having to grind a lot with the added insult of the grind being time-gated. Showstoppers aside, I think an important question is how are you likely to have fun playing the game? Is character collection the goal? Do you just want a pretty game with nice music? Are you okay with battle and exploration focused game play? Are you okay with progression gating that incentivizes you to log in daily? Are you fine with repetitive grinding? Are you okay with what some hardcore gamers consider a relatively low amount of "end game" content? I think getting an overall idea of what the gameplay is like and what about it (if anything) appeals to you might give you an idea whether you would be fine approaching it as strictly a free-to-play game, or you think you'd feel compelled to break out the credit card. Addressing the monetization aspect of the game, without sugar-coating it, there are no doubt some aspects of the game design that are IMO predatory (such as showcasing characters that are only available for limited times), but it is also the case that the game could be completely enjoyable without paying at all it just depends on how you would enjoy playing the game.

@BlueDsc You should checkout the promotional video for Eula (New Character Demo - "Eula: Flickering Candlelight" | Genshin Impact). It's mesmerizing.

Why is this series so good yet so torturous!?

I'm surprised how much I've come to like Elisha x Honoka. It's amazing how characters that I initially don't care for become much more likable over time.

I don't know why, but the "What a mood maker!" bit slays me.

BEST CHAPTER YET!!!
THIRD BASE!!!(?)

The supreme couple.

Chef's kiss

Lovely art, lovely encounter, and then lovely humor. It's amazing how many things this does well in such a short piece.

AYANO x MIYOSHI!!!!!!! I LO!
