the mai doubters have no idea how peak itll finally be when Asumi tops her tho...

This, but unironically. I genuinely do think that if and when the series grounds Mai as an actual character further, this moment will be the stuff of legends.

But in all seriousness the story has to end poly, and we need an arc where Asumi fucks senpai. Give us those two things and this story goes down in history as the greatest to ever do it

Also this, but unironically; emphasis mine. No notes.

Anyways, not gonna lie, I was really sad for Serina for a sec, until I remembered the girl was (1) unhinged (but, like, in a good? way) and (2) down horrendous. She wasn't gonna go down without a fight, and definitely not just disappear. It does seem she'll still be around, which I'm pretty happy for. I don't know with the talks about end-game and all that we're even in there, to be honest, so for the time being I just like the sexy gay shit. Gotta say, though, I'm in the camp that can't really envision anything that isn't a harem/poly type thing. The One Top to Rule Them All type shit. Or maybe just they keep fucking around, I can see that happening as well.

That's a 100% concentrate oof juice the girl was poured on, goddamn. I also feel bad for the tongue-pierced girl, whose name we don't even know, like anoter commenter mentions. I feel like it's on purpose, though. I wouldn't be surprised if, from that point, Ren heads back to the store to see that girl, like that was in a way meant to be the bridge between them.

Generally speaking, I feel like Sui represents an ideal, and the tongue-pierced girl represents either real life or "what could have been" type thing, and the narrative is about Ren navigating (and I guess developing with) her, uh, newfound feelings and experiences, I guess, between an ideal and real life. This is some real incoherent, tired rambling, but all that is to say that I'm wondering to see what happens next.

...sincere... mc is abything but that to people ...

I mean, yeah, that's by and large the crux of her character and the place from which she will grow as one. It's only now in her life that she's discovered actual pleasure from intimacy, love, or even wanting or welcoming the closeness of another person, and her previous worldview, which was a whole lot of negativity specifically with those concepts, is completely being changed.

So everyone likes someone who doesn't like them back? (thousand yard stare)

Just wait, Sui's crush will turn out to be bi too and end up having a thing for the girl Reina hooked up with. The cover image will be zoomed out in an update and turn out to have been an oroboros of yearning

This sounds too perfect not to be the case, or too specific to be a wild guess. Either way, it'll be incredible.

Something about Kon's writing resonates with me to the core. Both here and back in Haru and Midori, it's like witnessing written mirrors of my inner workings and difficulties. It floods me with the wildest of emotions, but it's also strangely cathartic.

Anyways, adorable chapter. I love Hinata being instinctively very emotionally intelligent, but having no fucking clue what the fuck she's even doing (also she's picking herself up a cutie too!). Sakura was 100% eyeing the chocolate like a comment mentioned above, and the cold-cut to the side characters talking about handmade shit makes me think this will probably be where the next chapter starts, probably from Takamine's POV. Looking forward to that.

Are we, like, dememeifying "and they were roommates" here? This feels like "and they are roommates". Either case I feel like this is going to be a ride I'll enjoy.

I'm not sure what version exactly this is, nor why the fortunes decided to grace us with such, but hey, I ain't complaining. It's been a long time since I read this last, it'll be fun to... uh... brush up.

How related are the MCs? Is this like Citrus where MCs are barely step sisters?

Unless this is a different version in which there are changes, and if I remember correctly, full-on mother/daughter. No holds barred, no take-backsies. I think this should serve as a warning for others for whom this is a problem lol. Someone should make this known.

Uhh that seemed pretty psychotic. Like, she only knew her as a little kid, they basically had no relationship, and all of a sudden she's putting a ring on her finger? What??

I'd get it if she was an old flame, but this girl is straight up manipulative on day 1, wtf?!

I think it's more that we don't know the extent of their relationship, it's probably going to be constructed retroactively, but your point still stands. Doing these things like an hour after "reuniting" is some insane pedal to the metal type shit.

In any case, I have some thoughts of my own about Hikaru, but I also think that it's so early that any and all thoughts would probably be more fueled by projection than by any established narrative or character traits. I'm mentioning this explicitly about myself, but also to others, so they can keep vigilant if they share a similar tendency to my own.

Overall, I like what the story develops, but in truth, it's probably going to be too heavy for me to handle, so I might not be able to keep following it. I wish you who do that the ride be as bumpy as you like it to be.

Between being completely oblivious after Jolene made full-on lip contact or after her father directly grilling her, only for her to ask whatever he may be implying, girl's dumber than a brick. Actually, Jolene, as well, was very subtle with what she implied there, though I do respect Hesha telling her me no understand plis spik.

Either case, this batch of chapters was fucking whiplash-inducing, not entirely in a bad way, but there's finally some semblance of an overarching storyline, so there's that. Genuinely laughed at Arnold outright saying he didn't like the prince. I thought they'd mince words about it for a bit.

I kinda felt like the story somewhat cornered itself with the villain and all. I knew Lulu's explosive power would have to be used again, but it does not resolve the tyrannical villain threatening the destruction of the Earth part of the equation. Team Rocketing those fools absolutely works, though.

I have several issues with the pacing, character motivations and characterizations in general, "what exactly are we doing here?", and just in general what is going on and why, but I'm just having a blast with this series and the unhingedness of it all.

That's a nice thing to stumble across. Like this so far, gonna love it going forward if it keeps the tone. The "power games" and dynamic between the two shit-eaters is fantastic, and their warming up to one another is just as great.

This one's good for the soul. Bless.

Lol Hatori thinks Hinata got no shot at romance.

Yeah, that was absolute murder lol.

In any case, yesssssss. This is the first explicit step into romance territory. Let's fucking go! Also, please do be greedy, otherwise the thick brick wall with which you've fallen in love will not get it.

Yo, I genuinely didn't read a death flag this early. Like, a couple of chapters, sure, the girl wasn't gonna hold up, but the end of the pilot? Whew, boy. Also, like, genuinely expected between these two that it'd be consensual and all, but that's besides the point. But I like the overall flavour of the thing as presented in the chapter. There's a lot of sugar, but in the blend are also a lot of other spices waiting for their highlight on the palate. Lotsa spice, that's a definite.

Now I don't necessarily deem her dead dead, but I'm open to being surprised further. I wonder how this implicates the other one. I hope she's remorseful, and it was a libido/hunger-driven frenzy type thing rather than a cold and calculated deed. I wouldn't mind a third-party thing, and that she's innocent, that might be too convoluted too early.

Either way, I was already sold when I saw vampire yuri, there was no need to invest anything further lol.

And sort of as an aside, vampires are inherently very intimate and sexual by nature, vampire girls are... I guess at this point, by influence and coding are inherently gayer than most, but up to the final pages of the chapter, shit was almost surprisingly homoerotic... uh... lesboerotic? sapphoerotic? You know what I mean. Part of me feels like this is just Yukiko's style, considering their works and all, but more practically, I'm inclined to assume it was drummed up to "divert" from the big bang of the ending, and whether one fell for it, like I have, or didn't, I appreciate it. Y'know, actual writing.

This isn't some gladiatorial crowning type shit where the "loser" fucking dies and all their possessions are conceded to the winner.

For an arrogant person just imagine losing a bet they consider "will absolutely win" and being mocked as "less insightful" (even if that might not happen) is enough to drive them insane.

I mean, sure, that's absolutely correct, but narratively there's no reason for any of that lol. No reason to bet to begin with, no reason to worry about losing one's station. I guess Luliam did get some flak here and there, from the knights mainly, but I guess, considering she was actively dangerous, I also don't necessarily blame them. Meh, I'm thinking too hard over this nonsense. Just wish it didn't go with this particular story beat, is all.

What the fuck is that dumbass even talking about? This isn't some gladiatorial crowning type shit where the "loser" fucking dies and all their possessions are conceded to the winner. Like, I understand the angle, we've seen that a million times in such stories, they're backing up the "wrong" party and must unhingedly go out of their way to make sure theirs is the one that comes out on top, but there was never established a "wrong" party in this story. She's utilitarian, but Eldora has been, at worst, rude or insensitive. I guess one could be worse for one and the other could be for another. Either case, sure, folks have died for less, but c'mon, dude. Those aren't the stakes.

As a bit of a side note, I wanted to mention this but I don't remember doing so (and checking post by post will be ass), but I like that Tsubasa's a good lass. I expected her to be the wretched spawn of satan, but as a pleasant surprise, she' far from that.

Yo, I read it immediately after waking up and initially got the bad juju. Read it in a kind of "wait, if only now you know what liking is, what the fuck am I to you?" way. Phew.

Cuteness overload aside, I'm bizarrely proud of Takamine. Like, she's constantly growing and developing and changing and resolving not to be left behind and not to waste her chances. The writing around her has been incredible, I feel. But now back to the main topic on hand, let's fucking go baby a holiday date! ... a holidate? Is that a term? It fucking is now.

As an aside, on a more serious and sombre note, Takamine's inner monologue in this chapter has a genuine real-life impact on me, and I appreciate it. It's a bizarre place and context to find solace from, but in a weird way, it makes me feel like I've made a good choice with the media I'm consuming.

Funnily enough, since they lost their livelihood and things can't really get much worse than this, and Io has an exhibitionism fetish and they do enjoy this kinky play all the time, they could just turn the tables, take advantage of the media circus and record or stream all their sex live for money - they regain a source of income to survive, Misa doesn't have to hide her sexuality and pander to men and it's not too big career shift, Io gets even more turned on at the prospect of possibly millions of online strangers watching. Kill two (or more) birds with one stone.

Oh dude if this is the start of the OnlyFans arc I'll be laughing for the next three lifetimes nonstop.

This is probably not intended to be, but I'm choosing for a bit to believe the chapter is a meta comment by the author that exclaims in no uncertain terms, "This is a slow burn, motherfuckers!" and the thought amuses me very much.

More seriously, I appreciate the burning curiosity and genuine care the relationship between the two evokes in their surroundings. I've been in Hirose's shoes plenty of times, particularly regarding the idea that sometimes, when something still lingers in your head, it's tough to let it go. I've been burned by that, whew, a hell of a lot, so I like that she's got somewhere more, for lack of a better term, productive to vent towards. Speaking of a slow burn, Hatori's shell, I feel, is cracking as well, slowly, but almost definitely. It'll be interesting to see how her dynamic with her surroundings, with Hirose in particular, develops going forward. Lastly, I'd like to comment that this chapter was just really interesting to read. It gave a lot of breathing room to the supporting cast while also helping to breathe into the main draw of the series, which I find pretty impressive as well. Big fan overall.

"She's a non-industry friend. She helped me when I was ill. In what world does this seem romantic to you sick fucks?" I mean, I know that even in a real-world setting, this would be too idealistic, but I'd still hammer on with that.

Meh. Either case, milkies!

A few points in order of personal importance:

Despite how quickly she turned from heel to face being a bit of a whiplash, big fan of how open she is about it and especially her decision to open up to her friend.

Big fan of the friend's response and supportiveness, even bigger fan of her actual best friend responses™. That "eat shit and die" was bond-stronger-than-steel type response.

That said, something got into my head that Yui is also a potential love rival in disguise and I'm having trouble shaking off that angle lol.

That final panel was top-tier friends banter, but also Kaidou is ruthless. Can't really think of anything other than "eat shit and die" to respond to that lol.

With how many times they said "it's mutual" I'm worried that shit's gonna happen. I have trust issues. Though I don't expect things to go too badly either way.

I love power scaling where the more sexual things get the stronger nana’s magic is. They’re gonna be fucking in the demon lord’s castle eventually at this rate

Ah, the High School DxD treatment. Honestly, I'd probably vibe with a Yuri DxD, especially without Issei's cringe.

Seriously, though, the princess has been having horny creeping up on her for a while so I was expecting and hoping stuff like this would start happening, I really want to know how far they're gonna go. The girl was locked in, too, biting and shit.

Sigh... I'll start by saying that I had a random ass black out while I wrote my initial comment. When the thing came back up, the comment was still there, and I was a happy boy. Then I hit submit, the site prompted me to log in, and it sent me to a blank page with no comment to be found. I am no longer a happy boy.

In any case, so I know we're joking about Takamine's wing-crew, but the girl has grown as well. Both key initiatives in the chapter were hers, she just needed the opportunity and timing, then the god-tier support was there to round things up. She's got what it takes, but also has her own rhythm and approach to things, is all. I did wish she could response to Sakura's look, but it is what it is.

I love how subtle and casual the buildup to the revelation that Takamine did write about Sakura was, but also, the fact we're not shown explicitly what she wrote is absolutely maddening. In a good way. Like, this contrasts/juxtaposes the satisfaction from concretely knowing Takamine did write about Sakura, and creates a yearning, a sense of mystery — to put crassly, I'm being blueballed here, I'm dying to know what she wrote. If that makes any sense, it's like "imply, don't tell" rather than "show, don't tell", from a writing perspective, I love that. As a reader, I want to kick a newborn. And then the immediate transition into Takamine's "vengeance" reading what Sakura wrote was hilarious.

I'll take a step back and gush again about how casual and grounded the whole interaction was. It was clearly a very intimate moment, but there were no bells and whistles, no blaring sirens, no upsetting interruptions. Just their two voices. It's so serene and soothing, sweet, and touching. It's also simply fresh. It's always like that tang of zesty lemon in a flavorful cake. And, I mean, this is pretty much a key component of the series, has been from the start, and I'd say of Kon themselves as an author in general, but I'm a huge fan of this particular thing.

With all the above said, I'll also echo a sentiment from the comments: there's a genuine chance if and when these two get together, that I'll actually melt. Please marry already.

In all honesty, I do not care for omegaverse stories. I do not knock on those who do, but something about many of the key aspects of them (or at least how I perceived them) turns me off. With that said, the key conflict posed in this story is too fucking juicy to withhold from this one, and I'll probably follow it for a while.

With the above said, if anyone may, I need a bit of an explainer on the omegaverse. I was under the impression that the setting was, like, meant to include futa as a default. That was what I gathered the alpha/beta distinctions were for before. Is the omega distinction a new thing? Is there a general purpose to the distinction, or rather is it like a trope that associates with it traits that I am to expect from a character described as an alpha/beta/ometa/etc? I'm assuming each story has nuances, but what is marking on a general level?

The first panel they interacted I was practically contractually obligated to ship Hinata and Hoshino and I'm glad I am not the only one.

I like how Hinata saw parallels between Hoshino and Takamine, and I love how much she cares for them all. Especially for one who looks to be so flimsily attached to the ground, showing that she's actually very present and attentive despite her "stereotypical" airheadedness is something I very much appreciate. She's such a good egg, too, it's hard to dislike her. I will call her out for absolutely selling Hoshino out, in the best way possible, with the art thing, though.

I don't think I remember seeing a cast of side characters as whole (or fleshed out?) and involved in the story as this one in recent times. Genuinely a huge fan of that, with how organically they're incorporated into the overall tapestry, and especially how, for lack of a better term, normal they are, or perhaps well proportioned would describe it better.

Also Hoshino going "I... think I get it now...?" is just utterly amusing to me. Took her like 4 pages to catch up. Love this sort of stuff.
