pfft, no. Pick Matsuri.
Passive-aggressive people are the worst, she'll never know how to make Komaki happy, and any little thing she does is going to cause a fight.

Neither thought process makes any sense at all, even for messed up teenage girls.

Why would she have PTSD, though? What Sorawo went through is no big deal; it's a fairly common story, really.

This comment is hilarious to me. Are you also disassociated from the real world? - although this time, because of too much fiction. Characters in stories frequently go through a lot of trauma that's just depicted as NBD normal because of the particular story they're in. In real life ... not so much.

Gosh, I'm so glad Diana didn't go down a creepy route.

I guess every single reader knows what the suggestion is gonna be, huh?

Wakana is nothing if not consistent.

And that's why we love her.

Gotta love a character who is just like, screw rules, we're going to take this all the way.

"All of you are forgetting the most important part."
Ha, yes, consent.
"... the autore fruit."
Dang, almost had it.

LOL! This was my exact thought process in that scene.

She's such a horndog, but also so innocent at the same time.

I admire Sensei's iron will, it must be disappointing when Mei doesn't take seriously that her job is on the line.
...But how long will that iron will last if there's jealousy.

Lol. That meme at the end. But Karasuma did say that she was there for reconnaissance, not to fix anything.

Am I really the only one that thinks the writing in this series is kind of bad? It's just contrived plot devices one after the other; first, the administrator system that was used to progress the characters' relationship, only to now be explained away with this timeline convergence. And I don't even think it would be this bad if they didn't decide to introduce this utterly silly "restorative-capacity" meter (here's a reason not to watch Steins:gate, I guess).

I don't really care that much because I never took this series all that seriously. I just found it surprising that nobody here seems to be sharing my urge to eyeroll in this chapter.

I'm just confused as to what story you thought you were reading? How is it bad writing if the point of the story - i.e. that this is a game and has a pre-determined plot - continues to do what it's supposed to do? The things you've pointed out are just obstacles to the goal: to change the story.

giving Diana a consolation love interest

Frankly, as someone who was immediately happy when I saw Alexandra being presented as a genuine love interest, over Diana continuing to pine after Natori... I'd say she turned out to be much more than that.

She's not just there to console Diana, or be consoled by her. Her role as a noble forced to suppress her talents and obey authority, being a pawn in larger schemes, while also joining a group of commoners, gives her one of the most complex character positions in the series, possibly second only to Lapis.

She also creates a bridge between nobles and commoners that the original Fairy Tale of Jewels didn't have, since Diana was the only one in that position. Alexandra "siding" with her own team at the end matters a lot - I can easily picture that, if Lapis' plan succeeds and a rebellion occurs, Alexandra, and possibly some other lower ranked nobles, might side with the commoners, shifting the balance (and story) quite a bit.

Oh, and yes - I'm definitely rooting for Diana x Allie. But Alexandra has also grown into my favorite character, and I hope she continues to be more than just "the love interest". Based on this arc, it feels like she absolutely will be.

Also, her character design is just perfect. She's not there just to be a background character.

That was actually a very exciting game.

Mitsuki you're literally dating--it's okay to grin about your girlfriend ya doof!

Are they dating though? They sure don't act like it.

All of the other characters are treating them like they're dating, so I have no idea why the comments are doubting it, you get this far into a story that has to be subtle because there are only a few pages per chapter, and you want them to waste time going "wait are we dating?" "yes, we're dating".

They're dating.

I love that basically all of us are like, I hate this, keep going.
We're just like Wakaba.
Like some others, I can't help but wonder if the writer did this on purpose at all? It's so hard to tell. Is it stupid on purpose, or just stupid? Whatever it is, it's got us all hooked.

Good to see Diana getting some other support.

If only her support wasn't also trying to ruin our OTP.

That's ... it?

While I admire they just faked us out with the rushed "everything is solved" ending, the ending was just status quo, like, work out for yourself how this turned out.

Okay.

Omggg first the demon now the princesss, I like how they turned every ml side characters into female one, also here comes the new challengerrrrrr.
P.s. damnnnn I love their Isidore uniformmmmm it's sooooo horry potterishh with a style.<3

I'm confused about this conclusion. We literally met the prince when he was Yvonne's fiance? Do you think he ... magically changed into a girl?

Lol. That was perfectly climactic and yet anti-climatic at the same time.

Every chapter, this one fascinates me. Definitely the best "buying a classmate" manga I've ever read.

These two disgust me every chapter, haha.
Definitely not ever going to stop reading.

Oof. I didn't expect such outrage in the comments (and I'm not sure why I didn't expect it, it's not unusual for everyone to be unreasonable).
He clearly said that he has no real issue with Elsa and Yvonne. He clearly said that his concerns were merely over the protection and happiness of his daughter, and y'all just focus on the bits like "two girls? no". Like there was no other context here at all.

omg i recognized all of them except for 1.
Listen to the Stars
Qing Mei Liao
My Food Seems To Be Very Cute
Beware of the vicious dog inside!
Tamen De Gushi (the couple in the alley (?) its cuz of the artstyle )
Song Beyond the World
Baili Jin Among Mortals
I Was Beaten Down By The Younger Generation Again
Artificial Temperature 36.7
Straight Girl Trap

Ahh, thank you for this list. I recognised the art (not actually usual for me), and I was going to look it up. I loved Straight Girl Trap.

She's framed as super mature and competent compared to Makino

Uhh, have we been seeing the same Mashiro? She's somewhat irresponsible and takes on too much responsibility for herself. Seems par for the course for our Mashiro.

That was a beautiful, on-point scumbag way to tell everyone she's gay. Bravo.

Look, I hate the system, but it's super duper time it made an appearance again so Evie can start to overcome it with her new girlfriend.

Also, why does Yvonne have to look so sexy in bandages, hey? Anyone would be turned on.

Do you really think there are people here who don't know mangas are works of fiction?

Knowing something is fictional and treating it as such are two entirely different things. Some people take their love or hatred of fictional characters entirely too far, and it's weird and off-putting.

Absolutely. I don't doubt that almost 100% of people are entirely aware that fiction is fiction, but their reaction to it just doesn't show that. They take it way too seriously and act in a totall unjustifiable way even if it was real life. People really creep me out (or make me angry) with their reaction to stories - and especially episodic stories, where you're not going to get a resolution any time soon. I feel like those people should go read books or watch movies, and get themselves out of overreacting to episodic stories.
