riko embodying yuri fans everywhere

it was done well, i got the sense that maybe beneath the joking around yumimi might actually have had a bit of a thing for miyoshi, who was ofc too wrapped up in ayano to notice. luckily yumimi has nononon now so i don't expect it to go any further but it makes the world feel more connected and gives extra depth to the characters

Are there any other horror manga like this one, where it has creepy background details that aren't noticed by the characters or pointed out explicitly to the reader, until they build up? It's a great technique in horror movies but for some reason this is the first time I've seen it in a manga.

'i see you, aizawa-san' is quite similar in this respect

Last chapter was Honoka sending of the manuscript, this chapter is her getting a call about that manuscript submission while they're in the classroom. So last chapter was a flashback, not a flash forward.

yeah, but in that chapter elisha says to send it "if she gets lonely" and the background changes to white to indicate the end of the flashback (now we know, only of the flashback within the chapter, which is itself another flashback). idk if it was a purposeful misdirect or just normal virgins empire timeline shenanigans tho

there's some timeline stuff going on here, the previous honoka chapter definitely made it seem like we had timeskipped to after elisha left, but now she's getting a call back about the contest while still in the classroom with kaoru. wait...has kishi-sensei actually had everything meticulously planned out and we've been jumping back and forward in time to exactly the right moments? (no)

i mean they are messing around talking bs but given that it made sense to me. and the art only seems to get better. those colour pages...

ngl this doesn't actually hurt as bad as whisper, i really liked that series. this one did start very promisingly especially for an original doujin, tho actually i think this super extended sleepover storytime is the sort of thing an editor might have helped with a lot.

no...not again...not like this...

for the confused, the scanlators did a pretty comprehensive recap a little while back as a sub-chapter.

now having said that, no idea what's going on with honda rn

love ayachisa, such an underrated bandori ship. thanks!

gotta admit i laughed when setsuna broke the fourth wall, this was surprisingly cute!

ahh, sayotsugu, one of the best original bandori ships. so healing :) this one captured the dynamic nicely. thanks for posting!

limp lamp is the actual name of the shop in the game, always makes me smile

ok it was a bit of a stretch but also hilarous, we are entering new realms of denseness rn

i never even considered that tsukasa was aju's old bartender, and yet it seems super obvious in hindsight

alternative title: even the introverted schoolgirl assassins wanna get out there

[singsong voice]: Somebody’s going viiiral!

my first thought too

i did a reread of this like a month ago and despite that i can't remember who most of them are.

still great tho, the bit with yomotsuka continually doubling down was hilarious

im relating to eri so much rn

no...no...sasakoi, you were so good please don't do this, you can still back out of it

best spin on the isekai/villainess formula i've seen in ages, if only because serina is so loveably dense

usually find ayumu a bit weird not with yuu since it's kind of a big part of her character. this was super cute though!

idk why kasumi kept calling shizuka 'shioko' tho, was that in the original? should be shizuko, surely?

black eagles for life

art was excellent, story was pretty cute but it didn't really add anything new or interesting to the in-love-with-the-villainess template.

I heard that Seto Asami (Yori's VA) is not the one who sings SSGIRLS' songs. If that's true, then why doesn't the studio just let Asami sing instead of hiring more people (or hire a VA who can both voice and sing, many VAs meet those two conditions).

that is weird if so, since she can definitely sing. or at least she was in an idol anime (ongaku shoujo) and i'm pretty sure has done several theme songs for other shows.

separately, i always knew under the tough exterior shiho was the softest gayest maiden and it's adorable
