Jealousy Arc start!

It's been a long time, why's Adachi at odds with her mom?

Ok, I can't tell if emperor not finishing what she said on page 3 is on purpose...or because a oopsie with the translation.

Methinks it's a typo translation error, "their" was meant to be "them" perchance.

Looks promising. Wonder if Shiichasu will get a turn.

Admit it, we all immediately thought it was Mya-nee.

Such a nice ending to the chapter, though. ^_^

No, I thought it was Stalker-chan

Interesting overlap between the chapter and the most recent chapter of How Do We Relationship, particularly ending on the same kind of scene.

Can't wait for the next chapter of HDWR!

100%. The emotions of the current arc are incredible, it's like a "so good you fear how it will inevitably go bad" thing (which is also like the exact same kind of thinking that caused their original breakup lol)

What is “ How Do We Relationship” and where can I read it?

"wrong idea" she decries! as all those around her already know the truth!

obligatory meme

That object to me looks like an anomalocarid mouth tentacle thing. After the aunt found the not fossil trilobites, that's my guess.

Just to swerve away, Slenderman isn't a chameleon, this is a doppelgänger. Both similar in appearance when doppel isn't in disguise from some folklore and pop-culture accounts.

I get the joke, but that muscle wouldn't just disappear

Y'all have already done all the excited squeeing and stuff, so I'mma be the downer and mention the end of pg 13 and the first panel of 14. I get to thinking there's some sad backstory being hinted at there.

"A little loopy from the fever" she's Gaying Out

She's got an acute case of Roommate-oid Authoritis.

It sucks there's no reactions or likes or whatever, cuz that is GOLD

The misogyny in this comments section is nauseating.

wtf are you talking about

Seconded: what? If anything we're calling out the misogyny portrayed by the characters, intentionally so by the author

Once again, I reiterate, I wouldn't be surprised if this ends in a quad of Yu, Minori, Koko, and Mom (i can never remember mom's name)

This chapter seemed like a bit of a jump, I hope nothing bad happened on the editorial/serialization side. On the other hand, seems like we're about to get a title drop in the next chapter after that "wear the world" and "break through to the other side [of the ceiling]"

.... WHAT THE FUCK?!?

Was there any hint of men being able to manipulate the special matter? If only women can do it, then forcing a specialization of labor makes some ruthless sense: letting a woman pilot instead of being piloted and making nets looks inefficient. (But grounding the MC because her nets are "weird" is also inefficient.)

We'll have to wait and see if men can or not, I don't recall there being anything to the contrary, so I have a feeling this is just a gender-roles type thing. This story looks like it has some interesting social commentary.

I had a feeling this was just going to be about archaic gender-roles in a far-future, which when factoring in small, clan-like stations would make some sense as rules are reinforced in an almost literal echo chamber, even if a space faring, skill-and-not-strength based society shouldn't work like that. But now with the last two chapters this is more a story about battling sexist perceptions and stereotypes. It's weird to see a future that has regressed with regards to that, but then it's easy to just look at what's happening across the world today and see it's not impossible to happen.

Welp, that oyakodon bit got me thinking if the ending will actually be some sort of quad. I get the main pairings are Minori and Koko along with Mama and Yu, but I don't doubt the author has it in her to try.

AAAAND another one to the harem!

This chapter got me. Right in the feels.

If her magic ends up being nullification magic then this series is goated for me I love when there's only like one person in the series that has nullification magic

Doubtful. Before I got to the part of breaking the sphere I was already thinking back to how the Divination Orb or whatever it was called conjured not just an image of Kaye, but many images of Kaye in a way that a simple machine shouldn't have been able to. Even then I was curious how that happened, and when I was remembering that I was thinking she must have some sort of magic that just is rare or never been studied before because the right way to tap into it hadn't been found. Now, with this reveal, my suspicions are confirmed that Ada does have magic, just none that the academics know about. It can't be nullification magic since the Orb worked how it did.

At first, I've been with Karretch's causal loop/bootstrap paradox idea (after all, if time travel is still in its infancy, how come there's already a guide? Golly, I wonder who wrote it...) but now it seems like that couldn't possibly work out.

Eh, I still believe it. Grammy could possibly legit not tell it's Kaede and it's a fakeout by the author. However, she outright says "hold more secrets as you get older" as a subtle way of sending the message she understands something is going on and it's doubtful she wouldn't recognize her own granddaughter even grown up, looking like her mother and father mixed up and all that. As for young Kaede, they interacted for all of I'd guess at most half an hour. That's plenty of time (or lack thereof haha) for a 5-7 year old to forget a person without any lasting memories. Kaede seems that much of an airhead to me as a teen that it's easy to fathom as a child.

The worst part (logically) about all the bigotry is that they forced their daughter to play a man and then said "man" brought home a woman, as per the disguise. Wouldn't it be weirder for the Crown "Prince" to go out to find a man to marry?!
