But which is worse, living without thinking or thinking without living? I honestly don't know. As someone whose life seems to have been the latter so far, they both seem just as destructive.

In full bloom, indeed.

IRyS is just inspecting Bae's ab lines. For science and stuff.

I think this thread needs some cleaning up. Hardly anyone is actually discussing the story content and it's mostly people rudely arguing with each other.

I held off on reading this because I knew it would be glacial, but I like it so far. The prom thing seems really prom-ising for a confession or new development.

Ame really is one of a kind. The sheer creativity she displayed is on another level entirely. I wish her well in whatever she decides to do next. Here's a couple of links to enjoy her final project.

i had some free time in my hands and made a tier list of this empire virgin couples and i would love to see you guys ranking!

Coach x Nurse and Ed x Ian - S tier.
Everyone else - A tier.

I'm almost sure the Venn diagram of people who dislike this story's main character and those who like Asumi-chan Is Interested In Lesbian Brothels isn't two separate circles, and that's fascinating.

My reaction to every chapter recently is just, "well I hope that gets explained at some point."

Mihoyo is well-known for the anime-washing of their characters, which is one of the many reasons I refuse to even touch their games. Getting up in arms and trying to call those calling it out somehow racist is a rather transparent exercise in projection.

I recently finished buying the physical volumes of this from Seven Seas. Overall, it's a good translation, with some odd formatting and word choices being the only things that really stand out. Probably my favorite idiot couple series, though it has tough competition.

I, too, enjoy corvid confections.

Mod Edit: A word was substituted with a synonym. Do not use the removed word, or its lineage, on our forums or discord.

You know, the word that starts with META and the word moron are not synonyms at all. They mean completely different things.

1. I would highly suggest not antagonizing the mods.
2. The word substituted works fine to get the overall point across, but isn't calling someone a moron also against the first rule of the forums? It seems like this would qualify for generally being a jerk.

Having children exhibit adult interests at a very young age is usually a ... troubling sign.

In what way, specifically?

I am getting slight yandere vibes from Niji though.

Yeah, the way she looked at Remu made me seriously uncomfortable in that way.

Admit it, we all immediately thought it was Mya-nee.

It did briefly flash across my mind, but then I thought, "She hates being out in public. Why would she be hanging around the school when she could just wait at home?"

Since nobody else mentioned it, I'll make this comment my prediction that the older sister mentioned here: https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/our_love_is_disgusting_ch01#13 is the MC's first love.
The younger sister has a different family name due to some yet to be explained shenanigans.

I'm often wrong about these types of things and probably am here too. Especially since I'm just basing this prediction on the the author drawing attention to this unnamed sister in the first chapter and it not being known where MC's first love is now.

This was my immediate thought as well. I hope the author just uses the older sister to introduce yet another fetish and doesn't go with such an obvious coincidence.

If I ever have a dying wish, it would be for Namori to make these two undeniably canon forever.

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.

^ Amen. Gacha - not even once.

Short hair Yomi? Add it to the IV drip please.

Has this series always had the Yuri tag? I thought for sure it was tagged as Subtext.

Oh my... Did you think Eiko and Enami-sensei are "subtext" somehow? Not to mention Kamuri's romantic puppy love for Eiko or Tamate being a very wholesome raging lesbian?

Subtext is something that turns out to be real, but that you also have to read between the lines and construct from small pieces of information you collect over the runtime of a fictional story. You know, the "sub" part? :)

Neither you nor anyone else has actually managed to answer the question that was asked. The smug condescension is also not appreciated.

^ I'm aware, and have read the chapter in question multiple times. I'm personally still no closer to understanding Asuka's core feelings.

I check in with this series about once every couple months, if I remember. While I really would love a yuri ending, the authors seem hell-bent on keeping things as vague as possible. The thing that's so interesting about Asuka is, unlike most of the other frequent characters, we rarely get to hear her thoughts. Do we ever? I honestly can't remember.

I just hope the absurdity levels in this stay steady or rise.
