I'd love for this to get an anime someday, but considering anime don't do TL notes anymore, this would be hella confusing for western viewers.

When's that ever stopped them from making one? xD Anime are made for domestic audiences first and foremost, so never say never i guess

This giving me some Qualia of Purple vibes, just on a (for now) smaller scale~ Depressing yet intriguing

Again, we are either having a first-row seat to Su's nightmares, or the webcomic got axed and had to wrap up the planned story in the three remaining strips.

From what I’ve found on other sites, I think we have around 20 chapters before we are caught up .

Nah according to the raws on bilibili this first arc alone has 39 chapters and it's currently like, 30 chapters into the second arc.

What was that flashback of Elsa falling? I can’t remember, did Evie saw Elsa dying or something?

That's the beginning of the story where Elsa is possessed by a nightmare that tried to make her jump off a roof

It shocked me that after how cynical the show has been, the ending was quite sincere and positive. Also shocking how despite the fact that both Satoko and Konoha continue to be pretty terrible people, it's clear that they've both made each other better, and found a really important connection with one another, and with their friends.

I can't speak for the manga but the anime feels like it has a very strong anti-nihilist sentiment by the end. Though the world that we live in is cruel, lacking entirely in justice, and forces beyond our control force us into conflict with others, it's worth it to keep living because at least we have each other, and that makes it worthy to keep on living.

That's a lot of message to take away from the wacky assassin x ninja murder comedy and honestly, I'm here for it

There was this oneshot manga where the MC and her coworker were working on Christmas, one thing leads to another and they end up doing the deed but before that, the coworker gets consent from the MC

I know it’s on here— it SHOULD be on here, but for the life of me, I can’t remember the title of it, I just really liked the fact that getting consent was actually taken seriously and wanted to reread it

This one maybe?

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.

Maybe you just lack our sense of childlike wonder and whimsy :p

I'm joking, but yee I don't really have a problem with where the plot is going. It all feels like an understandable continuation of the timeline stuff. My suspension of disbelief is p stretchy i s'pose~

To be honest this is not the type of series that invites discussion. There are so just so many ways you can say "they look cute together."

That and It's also different bc it's autobiographical. Would just feel a little weird to fawn over/analyze real ppls relationship like fictional characters

Also thanks for someone beating me to the Nika riots thing lol

Sports can be really nice as a metaphor for soft power

You're welcome. For what is team sports but formalized warfare with reduced lethality? :-)

Woah. C'mon Alice, don't start making things personal between you and the robed woman.

... or I'll start wishing for her to be your enemies-to-lover partner.

Hey, don’t give me ideas! Tho I can’t imagine a relationship between the two being healthy tbh…

Sometimes that's the spice that makes life delicious :D

the self-harm is necessitated by the whole blood magic deal of the premise but it's definitely not "edgy" in that way. They way ATIB touches on grief, depression and suicidal ideation is stomach churningly well done actually. reading it made me legit uncomfortable at times bc it was more relatable than i'd care to admit

It's always those with real life issues who seem to be drawn to this kind of content... I hope you are doing better now.

Oh totally, no worries there~ It's simply to the credit of the writing when ppl with those experiences can relate to it in a visceral way like that

I am not too fond of overdone self-harm and edgey content for the sake of edge, but I assume ATIB has more substance than that. I must add it to the list right away.

I just noticed the age gap tag, how did I miss that? ╮ (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.) ╭ I can't even remember how big their age difference was. That's such a cute detail!

They have an 8 year gap~

I have been looking forward to this since Please Be Happy. Elan is starting to actually become a powerhouse in the yuri VN scene. Although 70k words is actually rather short. I still have to finish Clover Reset before I can start on this, unfortunately.

It took me about 8-9 hrs to play through it, letting voices play out. It did feel like it was over in a flash but that's mostly because i was glued to the screen and at the edge of my seat the whole time xD The story itself is very well paced imo, doesn't drag or rush at any point.

Four rinshan kaihos in a row would probably make minor global news even in our non-mahjong-obsessed world. It's that astronomically unlikely.

Just like Yuuki's two Tenhou in a single match would, I imagine

At the risk of pulling on a string not meant to be taken too seriously, but how did the school know about them "passing" their tests together late at night essentially in private? That has some worrying implications.

the least creepy explanation i can think of is that staff saw the food and drinks that was left out for them was eaten properly and made note of it in the morning.
