What lies beyond the forbidden door?

We'll tell you when you're older :P

So, this chapter made me ask: does the isekai magic choose women with propensities towards or are lesbians? I forget if it was mentioned in a previous chapter or not about who has come before and their sexualities.

Cute, but my 'tism got stuck on the "ginkgo blossoms" and I couldn't recover. They don't have flowers

Idk how to insert tags into forum posts, but wondering if this qualifies for the "men not found" tag. All the youkai are femme presenting, and even the Dragon King is reffered to as such.

The mouse youkai is a crossdressing boy tho.

I forgot about that.

I can't tell if her name is supposed to be one of those "swap the characters around" joke type names or not. Maou is very close to Ooma phonetically.

Not usually my cup of tea, yaoi, but this one got my eyes moist at the end. Idk if from the actual content or a weird empathy thing from seeing them cry. Enjoyed it, though, and looking forward to more.

I was thinking about omegaverse based stories the othe day, and it dawned on me, the omegaverse seems to exist mainly to make straight sex feel gay, or gay sex feel straight, depending how the reader wants to look at it.

I see where you're coming from, but I think it's more just a play on the more traditional power dynamics in a dom/sub but without the association with the sado/maso that the former brings to mind.

bruh my dumbass is realizing Su is probably named after Suzy

Would explain why Shitstain has it out for her.

Okay so in addition to Ni Shang being Yandere, the main character is a complete moron.

A person you think has hated you for a long time is not high on your list of people who would gift you a brooch. She's not a moron, Ni Shang is for not communicating.

If the boyfriend doesn't have a secret girlfriend himself, he is very patient at least, especially for a teenager. It still feels weird to stick with a person that is so openly unenthusiastic. They went on some dates but there was no desire from Ritsu to be close. They feel like they are barely getting along as acquaintances.

I, for one, am expecting the plot twist he's also hiding a secret paramour, but not a girlfriend! :P Would mirror nicely with the MC.

In order to find more about Chu Nen's death - and probably to avenge her, since she was Lin Yan's love interest, judging by the flashbacks), whose murder became a cold case, Lin Yan joined the police force to try to investigate on her on, whatever it takes. Then, she met Song Yohuan, a tight-laced cop who follows the law and order to a T.

Afraid of having her motives uncovered, Lin Yan decides to do things on her own during the cases, even if it means to get in the way of the police, but she makes Song Yohuan even more suspicious of our Miss Forensic. Meanwhile, both realize they are developing feelings for each other, albeit in a love-hate kind of relationship.

Did I get it right so far? I must confess I'm a bit confused myself with the development in the latest chapters.

Like, if Lin knew Li Shiping were going to murder Ding Xue, because he was Sun Xiangming's (her girlfriend) murderer, why did Lin intervened by killing Li in the first place? Did she feel sympathetic towards Li and didn't want her to be sentenced over a passional crime?

Li Shiping poisoned herself. Murder-suicide. But the fact she was there made her a suspect so she ran. I can only assume she went to get the husband herself but was beaten to the punch by Shiping.

And then, two weeks later, he died of old age. (look up cephalopod lifespans)

Is this not a Chinese Manhua? I’m pleasantly surprised that kiss wasn’t censored.

Honestly, it's quite hit-or-miss regarding what gets hit with the censor hammer. I, too, was surprised.

Hmm, hopefully Suuna isn't led astray into believing Ruka is overreacting or somesuch, cuz I want to believe she has her head somewhat attached to her shoulders and clocks that she did not tell "Bell" about their schedule.

guys I have a feeling that she might be gay

Hmm, I don't know. I think she's not. She keeps going on dates with guys after all.

"gloves are de rigueur" uh....? was this legit from JP or a retranslation from FR?

"de rigueur" is borrowed in English from French.

Just goes to show YOU are not a native English speaker.

A bit rude, English is my native tongue, but fair enough. I've not encountered it in my own experiences or at least not read it enough to register it.

"gloves are de rigueur" uh....? was this legit from JP or a retranslation from FR?

Reina still calling herself "straight" is a hoot

Hmm, weird. They are not friend at first, but the gyaru called the class rep by name instead of "class rep" or something like that even though she usually ignores her, which indicates they didn't socialize with each other.

It's the classic "both were paying a lot of attention to their crush but not crossing paths because of social circles" situation.

Up until chapter 9 I was wondering if this would just be subtext, but gotta love that "hazy" feeling for foreshadowing yuri

They met on a matching app. Idk much about how the culture around those is in JP, but taking the reactions of her co-workers in the elevator I'm fairly confident it's been explicit since the first time it was mentioned.

The very existence of the strings does bring up a reason people would tend to avoid relationships without one, though. Imagine being in a relationship and one or both or you suddenly having a string manifest, connecting you to someone else... How many relationships would survive knowing there's someone else perfect for you or your partner out there, knowing how to find them, knowing they can find you, and having to trust that neither you nor your partner will act on this?

Considering everything we've been shown says this phenomenon is recent, it must have at some point done that in the beginning. I wish they'd dive into that, how many instantly abandoned their families? How many fought to stay together? What sort of social backlash to the people who defy their string?

I'm calling sister or some other family member. If she's not, then y'all should remind me with links cuz I can barely remember.

With the right context this is HILARIOUS! Columbina roughly says at the end of the 8th act of the story quest line that she will reserve opening her eyes to see only the truly wondrous things that she wants to vividly remember, otherwise she can just keep sensing the world with her powers.

Didn't someone have a joke about the subtext becoming domtext on here, or am I just imagining things?

It was in Crosswings comment, yes.
