Am I confused? Probably. This situation has nothing to do with a gay-perceived straight relationship. These girls are married. They present to the entire world as a lesbian couple. Even if they don’t think of themselves as anything but two people, they have explicitly put themselves on record as thinking that a same-sex relationship is fine and normal.
So why the slap? It seems totally out of character for Ruriko. And now I get confused, because I am unable to differentiate what I think Ruriko’s reaction should be and what mine would be. If I were in this situation, and was suddenly kissed by the woman I love, I would certainly not hit her. More likely would be that I would collapse in maelstrom of tears of happiness-confusion-fear of it not being real.
The conclusion. It’s a painful and unpleasant plot device.

Seriously. These people bringing up ultra-repressed scared lesbian shit make no sense. It's like they forgot which manga they're reading.

Thing is, they don't actually present as a lesbian couple. Like, Kurumi is literally writing about her experiences as a result of platonically marrying a friend. They included provisions for if they fell in love with someone else, but not each other. That sort of thing.

If there's one thing I kinda hate about hentai, it's the pushing of the idea that "no means yes." Ughhh. No means no. Even when they're lesbians.

Seeing that this is a manga I'm fully expecting them to (in)conveniently run into somebody and somehow getting interrupted.

As they leave after getting it on, they run into Mai. Que drama.

Smol Evie is once again precious

My theory is that at least part of this will involve ensuring that Evie doesn’t get the System in the first place.

Eh, a Landbastard mom is still a Landbastard

For a moment i really thought they would do the deed

I mean... they may have just dressed after the fact. They did sleep in after all.

Casually glossing over bar lady having a threesome with a 14-15yo and a 15-16yo like it's no big deal at all. Yikes.

I don’t think “that’s illegal” is that casual of a statement.

Force, I hope she actually manages to deal with the system relatively early.

Ahem.

Future Elsa, wtf? Like, seriously, why? Punish somebody for getting sidetracked by... sidetracking them even more? This makes literally zero sense.

Up next, review on Willow latest album : "So great it turned my friend gay."

"Now that I think about it, it probably turned me gay too."

Insert joke about homophobes and frogs.

I started thinking that they were meant to be wedding rings, but the last panel reveals the truth to be much darker indeed. They are, in fact, Rings of Power, created by the Dark Lord Sauron. What does this mean? Hell if I know.

Three lesbians walk into a love hotel.

… I feel like that’s the setup for a joke, but I have no idea what the punchline is.

Future Elsa is potentially very disappointed that she didn’t get Evie to finally get it on with her past self. Either that or this was an incredibly roundabout and needlessly convoluted way of getting into contact with Evie.

It is pretty likely that Aizawa at least suspects that Michi can see her. Humans are absurdly good at understanding faces, up to and including where someone is looking.

That's right, keep those interlocked fingers below the window sill. How perverse. Don't show the children outside.

We got lewd hand holding.. Do we think that were going to get an almost kiss at the festival before the system pops up and demands she do something awful to her? I'm going with YEP.

My guess is the festival will end up going well instead of getting too grim. So...

System options: SUFFOCATE ELSA
Other-Elsa option: Make Elsa unable to breathe
Evie: She can't breathe if I seal her lips with mine long enough.

...Or some other thing that in a more roundabout way leads to a kiss

I'm sorry but in my head this automatically meant 'sit on her face' or 'asphyxiation by booba' and didn't even think of kissing..

Porque no los dos?

she's so dense the word dense is not enough for her

Tachibana Hibiki intensifies

Really like pages 34 & 35: I didn't get that impression from the ln, and this makes things much clearer.

Honestly, I really like the contrast between fantasy!Elsa and real!Elsa. It’s poignant. Not sure how exactly, but it is.

Fantasy!Elsa comfortably offers all of herself to the person she loves. Real!Elsa holds back on both because Yvonne keeps blocking her. I am not sure whether the real!Elsa is actually as thirsty as the fantasy!one, but I wouldn't put it past her, given what she said at the end of the last chapter...

It’s more than that, when I think about it more: in Yvonne’s fantasies, Elsa is very… meek. Not confident or assertive, despite intentionally making herself “enticing.” The difference between Elsa’s expression on page 2 of this chapter and her real expression on page 7 of the last say it all. I think that it’s a reflection of how Yvonne sees Elsa vs how Elsa is actually like.

Headpat the saxophone robot

I want a love triangle

But y tho

Bet the teacher misunderstands her and think Elsa is an M and she's a sadist (I mean that part on Elsa probably isn't wrong and Evie's probably a sadist deep within her heart, so not really wrong)

what if the solution will be, that they do sm stuff and trick the system into thinking that it counts.

The system has no qualms with inciting murder. So… no.

I doubt that they're fully out of the gutters, as a lot of people are suggesting. As Elsa becomes more aggressive, Yvonne will feel more and more conflicted, and come into increasing conflict with the System and Elsa. Eventually, something will break. Just... not now. Not yet.

Oh thank the force. They didn’t completely break up.

Now, this isn't even mentioned. I understand that she misses her, but what happened to her inner conflict?

While true, I think you underestimate the ability of humans to delude yourselves, especially if there’s catharsis involved. Evie had been repeatedly stabbing herself with a proverbial knife until Elsa came and stopped her, and in the moment, that was more important than her fears.
