And I still don't get the earing chapter...

I THINK, after re-reading it super closely, that when Ginko goes to the bathroom, Hime buys her an pair of earrings. Then, before she can give them to her, Hime begins talking about getting matching earrings with her Senpai. Hime, feeling awkward/jealous, ends up not giving Ginko the earrings, instead trying them on herself before dryly stating they don't suit her as she chose them for Ginko. As for the dream, I have no clue. Maybe a metaphor for their relationship or something, where Hime in her dream saying they might not make it is actually her talking about the two of them.

Dang, I get she's in love, but I really wish she'd find someone who'd match her zeal for space, even a little. I mean, even if they do get together, these two have like, nothing in common.

Nice Reimu x Kasen doujin.

Tongtong in her date outfit is SO GOOD!

I couldn't wait for updates and finally found the LN, and i'm pretty surprised that the story is completely different. It feels like the comic kinda deviated the story to be able to cut it shorter or something. I guess both have their charms but the novel feels more coherent in the plot due to not having this "axe" above its head forcing it to mold into a shorter version.

I'm guessing the previous comments about the story feeling "bad" is because it does feel inconsistent in some points due to the drastic changes in the original plot, i would recommend reading the novel.

Well you can't just talk about the novel like that without at least linking it for other people to see.

Why did the literal child get arrested for being almost statutory r*ped? Like, what about the guy? Was he also arrested? Is he not the one to blame here?

You know, I’ve felt like something has been off about this story for the past few chapters, and I think I finally figured I out what it is.

This is basically a sequel series at this point. Like, the demon invasion was basically the climax of the story, and the stuff with the parents was basically an epilogue. These past few chapters have been so jammed full of exposition (and admittedly clumsy exposition at that, especially when compared to earlier chapters) that they’ve felt less like the start of a new season or arc, and more like they should be the opening of a new series. Add in the new main setting and the fact that the villainess system has practically been written out of the work at this point and replaced with a brand new curse (at least, it certainly feels that way), and these recent chapter are basically the start of Please Bully Me, Miss Villainess! 2.

Indeed. it also sort of feels like it got some sort of...revitalization? so to speak. Like, the art seems to have a had a very subtle improvement and there's these full body shots every now and then which never used to happen. I'm honestly really digging it.

I had no idea Mochi au Lait was a duo

Mocchi (もっち) aka Warabi Mocchi (藁火もっち). Female.
Au Lait (オーレ) aka Sakamaki Ren (さかまき漣). Male.

That's why their work has two art styles, because they switch sometimes the roles. That's why they count themselves as one because switching writers and artists role. Or working together at writing and art! What a nice duo!

Wait, who does the regular art like in this one, Kagaya Inn, and Met My Sister on a Dating Site and who did Handsome Girl and Sheltered Girl?

Is this chapter the end of the manga?
The way it says sounds like it is

It does sort of seem that way, but it's also only the second chapter of volume 9, which would be a weird place to end it considering most volumes have like 15 chapters.

This is such a shit storm lol. Everyone is so clearly on edge and miserable, but doesn't want to look away due to some sort of perverse, morbid curiosity. If this manga actually does turn out to be some sort of sick conversion fantasy, this could easily become the most controversial upload to dynasty scans I've seen in my 6 years reading on this site.

Yea idk so far this manga is just putting the MC in one shit situation after the other and hitting her with the "maybe ur actions affect people" like no fuck off

Yeah, the drama and putting the mc in a shitty situation is one thing, but the way the story seems to be implying she was at least partially responsible for it is what's really taking me out.

mmmm i dont really enjoy the implication that koakuma's top secret room is probably something het related even if its for an one off gag
if the author decides to return to it i would love for it to be just a plain normal room it would be way funnier
otherwise pretty enjoyable ch!

What implies it's het related?

Part for me laments that the author didn't just make this story set in an American high school. They very clearly wanted to theme the story around that setting, and I often get a little surprised when I'm reminded this story is supposed to be set in Japan. They story also feels somewhat limited by this, as the author needed to make some kind of excuse for why a Japanese highschool would be hosting a prom, so I wonder why they didn't just change the setting.

I feel like the only other yuri story I've centered around teens in the US was I Love Amy, so it would've been cool to have such a unique setting for this series.

Look, it's not like I don't think Dwarves should be teachers or anything, but is there really no one on campus or in a nearby town who can tailor Brynn's clothes for her? I mean come on, its bordering on unprofessional here.

oh god i like it and its weird at the same time

That's what I like to call All the right kinds of wrong. My favorite tag that doesn't exist.

I always get a bit of a chuckle when someone gets upset because teenage sexuality is brought up as a topic or portrayed (as further above).
There probably isn't any group of people more horny than mid-to-late teenagers. They are sexual beings, that's what the bio-physiological part of puberty is all about. As an adult, I have no trouble acknowledging that and also that I am way past that age group and they are thus not for me. It doesn't have to be more complicated than that.

Firstly, I have no problem with fiction exploring themes of teenage sexuality. However, teenagers should be experiencing those moments with each other, not adults.

Secondly, no one was accusing you of being attracted to teenagers, so it's weird you felt the need to clarify that.

This setup is honestly creeping my out. There's just so much that could go wrong. The fact that the male teacher is into the Kaede. The way it focuses so much on highschoolers emotions and sexuality while also emphasizing that they are children. The fact that the male teacher's only reason for not dating a student is that he doesn't want to loose his job (and that he's into mc). The fact that Kaede's heart "skipped a beat" when she thought the male student might be into her. The way that Kaede being a "nypmho" was brought up in front of her students. How casual Kaede's students are with her. Nami's weird comment at the end of the first chapter. Kaede's weird one-sided relationship with Nami. The fact that the only time we've seen the mc be sexual is when Nami is basically forcing herself on her (though it doesn't seem like Kaede isn't into it). The fact the series opened with het.

All in all, I don't like the fact that the only lesbian relationship we've seen so far has been Nami and Kaede's weird fling. I don't like all the het undertones. And I don't like the way they're both foreshadowing student x teacher and recognizing how wrong the dynamic is. I'm honestly worried for where this series is heading.

Acktually!

The sentence can also be interpreted as "you seem to have free time koga-san" in a jumbled kind of way. 手すき means "to not be busy", but can also be read as "hand love".

So I think Aya wanted to say that Mitsuki seemed have a lot of free time if she was trying out a new pick instead of studying and fumbled it in her half-asleep state. And Mitsuki read it as "I might love your hands".

It's kinda lost in translation.

I think a translators note would've worked better than the current translation, it kinda looks like a mistake

This manga is pretty weird

It definitely looks a lot weirder than it reads. I think the hard part of adapting this novel into a manga format as opposed to, say, Adachi and Shimamura, is that, in the latter, the characters very much wear their hearts on their sleeves. Adachi is clearly very obsessive and that can be easily gleemed from her actions. The manga/anime may not fully convey the severity of her obsession present in the novel, but you're not necessarily missing a part of her character if you just read the manga or watch the anime. Similarly for Shimamura being very aloof and sort of coasting through life. Both her thoughts and actions can convey this. Not to say the manga or anime adaption are perfect, they definitely leave a lot of things out, but you can at least understand where the characters are coming from.

In this story, on the other hand, the two leads are much more guarded, and rarely say what they're truly feeling. Most of the story (and romance) is contained in the characters' inner thoughts. In that way, you miss out on 90% of the story and characters by only experiencing it through a visual medium. Without knowing what either of them are thinking while doing these things, you're kinda just watching too people doing a bunch of weird stuff to each other. You're put more in the position of a fly on the wall rather than an active participant in the story, who can empathize with and understand the reasons behind the characters actions, which (for most novels but this one especially) is very important.

Does Miyagi get any better or should I just drop this?

The soda/popcorn thing is pretty much the meanest thing she does, though she does keep up the tsun pretty hard.

LCD Soundsystem mentioned!!!

To anyone seeing this, I highly, highly recommend the web novel. You can read a very high-quality, non-MTL translation by Ave Lillium here https://avelilium.com/story-about-buying-my-classmate-once-a-week/

Between the release of this chapter and the previous one, I have binged the entirety of the first 2 volumes and am halfway through the 3rd. It is easily one of the best yuri novels available right now, and this manga adaption, unfortunately, does not hold a candle to it. So much of this story is contained in the inner thoughts of the characters, which unfortunately is not very well represented in manga format. The tension the author manages to create between Miyagi and Sendai is so palpable, and when all that tension finally releases, the subsequent intimacy feels so well deserved and satisfying. Seriously, to anyone at all curious, give it a shot—you won't regret it.

How to tell you're a Touhou fan: you immediately recognized Mystia by seeing the grilled lamprey.

I knew just from the song lol, I'm obsessed.

"You're a parent who's much older than your child, and yet you still dress like the school bicycle"

God DAMN, I know she's going through it, but that is some HEAT.

the Japanese web drama Chaser Game W: Power Harassment Boss Is My Ex-Girlfriend.

What is a web drama? I'm curious but too afraid to put a title like that in to Google, lol.

Basically a drama series made for online (like a Netflix original).

Like a fully produced TV show? Do you have a link?
