I think it’s cuz the mangaka uses Chizuru as a plot device (and not a character) to keep stringing Kazuya along (also, the mangaka apparently thinks Chizuru is his girlfriend?? There’s a chance he might be trolling tho) and they’re sick of Chizuru letting him down over and over?

If the interner didn't lie to me this time, what the author actually said is that he based Chizuru on his girlfriend.

I do feel the need to point out that Anno has stated that Tsurumaki (the director if you didn't know) first conceived GQuuuuuuX and sent the idea to Sunrise back in 2018, making it older than G-Witch depending on how you count. It just took longer to make, which I guess we can attribute to it being the first Gundam anime made in cooperation with a different studio.

The point is, any connection we can make between those two series is likely a coincidence.

To be clear, I was just joking when I made that comment about Asumi using what she learned from all the friends/prostitutes she met along the way to top Mai. Yet, for some reason, this started feeling more real after this chapter. Is it just me?

Foreshadowing for their upcoming meeting with the Macross Delta gang in SRW? I wonder if this was written before or after the announcement of the game roster.

Bear in mind that a big part of Fate/Extra was making the player think they are experiencing something similar to Fate/Stay Night, only for it to turn out to be something different. It's not just the Saber the player commands. Shinji is different, Rin is not the same Rin, they don't even have the same servants, and the guy called Kuzuki is just using a fake name. Nasu seemed to be in a bit of a troll mood when he made that game.

The anime will be a collaboration with Street FIghter 6, so the girls we be playing a real game there, as shown in the trailer.

Oh hi, Suletta. Congratulations for your Super Robot Wars debut! Also, good luck fighting against Godzilla!

Is it okay to mention het VNs with yuri subplots here? Because Nekopara is getting a new volume in a month, and the trailer already showed the Yuri is still present.

An anime adaptation of Roll Over And Die has just been announced (together with an announcement that the LN will come out of hiatus). This means BV was right, we have NINE upcoming yuri anime, three of which are confirmed to be coming this year.

Does it even count as NTR when they are not going out yet? We don't even if the dude noticed that girl exists, let alone if he likes her. Isn't this just plain old seduction?

Really? Which ones I missed?
1: Watanare
2: This Monster Wants to Eat Me
3: Young Ladies Don't Play Fighting Games
4: Amayo no Tsuki
5: Gushing over Magical Girls 2nd Season,
6: The Guy She Was Interested in Wasn't a Guy at All
7: I Want to Love You Till Your Dying Day
8: ?
9: ?

This Monster Wants to Eat Me confirmed for Fall this year, while Young Ladies Don't Play Fighting Games is confirmed for some point this year. Note that Watanare is already coming out this summer, and it's likely too late to announce your anime will come out in Spring next month, so we are probably getting two yuri anime in a single season.

Also, since there are not one, not two, but FOUR other upcoming yuri anime, I have hopes we will have yuri anime airing continuously for at least a year. We just need two of those to air Winter and Spring next year.

I'm betting 100 Yuri Dollar that Mai is gonna freak out when she sees Asumi come to the reservation together with Senpai, immediately assuming that Senpai must be Asumi's girlfriend. Then she gets all sad and becomes completely unable to perform in bed, ultimately leading to Asumi aggressively topping her in order to convince her that she was after Mai from the beginning. It's even foreshadowed in this chapter when Mai muses about what Asumi might be doing right now with her girlfriend.

Not sure about her mistaking Senpai for Asumi's girlfriend, but the sentence "Asumi aggressively topping her" caught my attention. Maybe the reason the author made Asumi such a bottom is so that she finally unleash her inner beast at the end of the story when she is in bed with Mai. Maybe it will even turn into a shonen hero moment where Asumi is helped by all the friends she made along the way! And by that I mean, uses every single thing she learned on Mai at once.

Am I the only one disappointed that we didn't get more info about Lilian's project? I want to know what a medieval fantasy version of A Clockwork Orange would be like.

I assume this was drawn because people can't wait for the spin-off to arrive in a few months.

Yeah, why worry about getting involved in an incestuous love triangle when you can just get yourself a shimaidon?

It's crazy that the anime adaptation will probably end on the reveal that the titular monster does not want to eat the protagonist. I'm more than a little concerned about how that will be received by first timers

Maybe not. They could try ending it at Chapter 14, right before the training camp.

So we are getting a Quidditch arc?

Just don't read it then :)

Not really a fair response when the maybe-incest surprised us after like 40+ chapters. It's different when the incest is an obvious premise from the beginning.

Indeed. That reminds me of Usagi drop. Never felt that betrayed by a manga before (even if after taking a step back, the signs were there).

Incest is weirdly normalized in manga. I was told it's because there are a lot of single child in Japan, so they fantasized having siblings (in a weird way). I don't know if it's true, but it always disturbs me, even if I'm able to look over it when it's minor in the plot.

There is that too, but it goes a bit further: Japan has a real overwork culture that leaves many people living alone with no wife or children (which is why the birth rate is so low). So a big part of Wish Fulfillment relationships in their fiction is to have a lover that will live with you, wait for you, and be nice to you when you are tired. And as a few manga point out, your sister is already your family, and so is already someone that is expected to live with you and all the other things. In sort, making the sister a heroine allows the writer to skip the part where the main characters need to meet and get to know each other and go straight to the lovey-dovey parts that comfort the reader.

Oh yes, this is what I'm here for. Please, keep the drama coming. More soap opera scenes!

It's also confirmed Hinako will be voiced by Reina Ueda, who also voiced Nagafuji in Adachi and Shimamura, Miyako in Wataten and Momoka in Whisper Me a Love Song.

I think this chapter has further cemented Lapis and Natori as the end pairing while Diana hopefully gets together with someone else (ideally another girl but Gran has proved himself a nice enough fellow so). I think the ending shows a very interesting contrast between Lapis and Diana's the nature of their love for Natori. Diana is somewhat immature and her desire to give Natori up is clear not something that is entirely genuine but more of an obligation she felt while Lapis' is 100% selfless and genuine. She really thinks that the she will only end up hurting Natori if they stay together and this is why she believes she must let her go.

I get you are talking about their relationship with Natori, but it just sounds odd to me to call someone who was planning to commit great atrocities against commoners "100% selfless and genuine". For the matter, "was" is the right word to use here, right? Right?

A leaker has said that this manga will be getting an anime. It seems this info came from the same person who said There's No Freaking Way I'll be Your Lover! Unless... is also getting animated and Gushing over Magical Girls is getting a second season, so if any of those three things gets confirmed, the other two will likely happen too.

It's still just a leak, there has been no official announcement yet.

Once it's official, I do hope they keep the VAs from the PVs. I thought they were a good match for the cast.

No you won't, silly girls. Because you are actually Miranda and Ferdinand.
