^ Ukyo getting screwed over is entirely on Genma (Ranma was like 5 at the time, c'mon). Ryoga is on Genma (Ranma wanted to wait for Ryoga longer) and Ryoga himself being so stubborn he chased them across an ocean.

Poor tomato never stood a chance. :3

Now Akane, kiss Shampoo.

I wonder what Yu Ding Dang would look like dressed in men's clothing...I kinda want everyone to swap clothing and show up at court and watch the Empress Dowager's head explode!

Bonus points if every single person in the court acts as though this is business as usual, just to really make her snap.

...Normally gaslighting is bad, but consider: Empress Dowager is an assassin-sending bitch. And a kitten killer. It's like how a code of pacifism doesn't apply against an army invading your land.

Wait, what happened in her last manga?
Explain it to me like i'm 5- i'm slow as hell.

Many chapters of increasingly contrived misunderstandings, then sudden forced drama, followed by a rushed resolution. So the progression felt very artificially forced (both the stagnation and the resolution) and basically a big waste of time.

I'm cautiously optimistic that the mangaka won't repeat the same mistakes this time. But I'm prepped for bailing at the first sign of repeating history.

On the one hand, their last manga was a slog to a huge let down. On the other hand: Autistic girl falls for jock, immediately confesses, is exactly my jam.

I'll definitely stick around a while, at least until it seems like another wheel-spinning nothing story.

That vignette is more erotic than a hundred nudes. (Though I'm ace, so take my opinion on the subject with a few grains of salt.)

Implication is more engaging than blunt fact, you know?

The polycule expands. :3

Gonna echo the sentiment that this feels like it could have been a legit episode. Once again, fan creations wind up being even better than canon. (Saying that as someone that did really like the show.)

Very cute, also Suletta please don't call your mom whenever you do something with your girlfriend lmao

"Ah, I'm going to be a grandmother."

Title is "Unknown heart", but seems like they both knew preeeetty well, considering the ease of that confession.

Cute and mostly fluffy, imo.

Autism coding go brrr.

I have a weakness and I am not ashamed of it... Reeeeally hoping this earns a Wholesome tag, though.

And suddenly Narita has competition for best wingman.

And thus yuri prevailed.

This really is "how I landed a hottie by being autistic", huh? (My somewhere-on-the-spectrum self with an autistic wife I love dearly is obviously on board with this.)

Title is confirmed to be true. sage nod

On the bright side: Your manga getting cancelled means you can move on to your next manga... Which presumably is the one we're reading right now.

So many problems in Nerima could be resolved if polycules were more culturally accepted...

^^ My super power is that I'm ace.

Love the flirting. But also love the trigger discipline!

Also: This is a way to keep Ming Wei out of the Dowager's grasp and under the General's (admittedly lopsided) protection for a bit longer. Until the Dowager is thoroughly defanged, Ming Wei is the weakest link in their Lesbian Quartet.

Indeed. It's quite the genius move, since it addresses multiple concerns simultaneously... Hopefully they get the old bat safely exiled (Or entombed. Possibly while still alive.) soon.

I've seen ancient evils in JRPGs that aren't as heinous as the dowager.

"IS THERE ANYONE IN THIS FAMILY THAT LIKES MEN"

Dad Oosawa, soon to be introduced:

"This is my husband. And this is my husband's boyfriend."

Translation: "I order you spend time with your girlfriend."

Damn I didn't realize being a general meant she was also a ninja. What a charmer

The lesbian force of nature clearly has many skills.

So heckin' cute.

I wish there was more, but I think the ending was really sweet. Leaves the future to the imagination, but in a pleasant way.

Oh wow, this might be the most realistic depiction of poly I’ve seen! There’s still moments of jealousy and not all parties involved need to date each other for a stable polycule.

I'll second all of this.
