As adorable as MakiRiko is, the fact that Maki and Rin used to date but broke up in this timeline makes me so sad, possibly even more than if they never got together at all, even if they’re still very good friends now.

I thought the "not since we broke up half a year ago" was referencing the idol group disbanding, but did I misinterpret that?

edit: wow I really wasn't reading that closely, the rest of that talk does sound more like they were together that way.

and now we get a chapter outlining what happened. Turns out them dating was more about escapism than romance.

What is fiction good for if you can't say "wouldn't this be fucked up" and run with it once in a while.
That is to say, this was pretty fucked up lol (neutral statement, I don't read enough toxic yuri to properly judge, although the bullying and student president worship was pretty extreme)

The art style feels like a blend of Kuwabara Tamotsu and Amazaki Suika :)
But this is pretty damn cute!

I also got some Kuzushiro vibes from some of the expressions and angles/shading

TL;DR few pages of trauma dump at the end doesnt justify/explain a problem that was never hinted or shown at all, everything was normal throughout the story and then a problem is created and solved right at the end, which make it a bland attempt at adding depth to a basically SoL one shot

You didn't find the wearing a bunny outfit at all times a hint that something was wrong? Nor the smoking, gambling, refusing her own name?

don't forget the fact that she refused to share why she suddenly showed up with only a bunny outfit and presumably some cash? I immediately thought there was a problem that she was running from the whole time and waiting for the shoe to drop.

If its a real cat that talks then how could it open that can and clean etc itself which it claims it could do but is too lazy?
It would be physically impossible for a cat to open a can.

The can she was looking at had a pull tab, so I don't think it would be impossible for a cat with human intelligence to open (claws are very good at hooking into things), but it would be pretty difficult and definitely easier to get a human to do it for you. Or maybe she should get an electric can opener.

You can believe her turning into a lion but you draw the line at the lion form having a mane lol

There are a couple more characters Chloe and Vivian and background person is presented as "Jo Su" but 助手君 might just be saying they don't have a name other than "assistant".

May be a reference to this: https://www.reddit.com/r/actuallesbians/comments/btl9q3/her_face_says_worth_it/

How does anyone remember the personality of these women? They've barely been shown in the anime.

The manga exists.

This is actually the first chapter from this series: https://dynasty-scans.com/series/paradise_of_nightmare_series

Never thought I'd see the day these characters would show up again. Still, I'm happy about it and I hope that demon queen and her sadist servant make an appearance.

If the rest of the series gets translated now they will definitely show up

The art is really nice like 99% of the time. Just look at this cute face: ch01#4
But then once in a while it does something like this: ch01#35 bottom right panel (is she mutating into a dog?) or this: ch01#8 (why is her eye so out of place?)
and I'm just left feeling punched in the face with how messed up it looks. The side profile of the face doesn't always look that distorted either it's so inconsistent. It looks great here for example: ch01#25
What's up with that?

(looking back through the second chapter I don't see it happening so maybe it's just to do with the first chapter? I guess we'll find out.)

I really like the little twist on my expectations when she's sick in bed.
They set it up to make it look like Kurumi-san wasn't going to be there when called for and make Yoroizuka-san a little sad, but I really love the way it turned out the exact opposite: she called out so faintly she didn't expect to be heard but then BAM there she is!

What do you mean "my moms?" Is Tama's mother the daughter of a lesbian couple?

The more het explanation for "moms" would be that Tama-mama calls her mother in law Mom just like her birth mother. (My mom called my dad's mom "Ma", and I refer to my wife's mom as Mom or Mama sometimes too, so it's not unheard of at least)
If that's the case, I choose to believe that Tama's grandmothers met some time after her parents and they fell in love with each other too so they're a lesbian couple but raised her mom and dad separately.

Before that though my preferred first choice of explanation is that yes Tama-mama has two mamas XD

I like how they both bring up efficiency with meeting two girls at once, but she only went for it because she already knew one of the available girls lol. no thoughts of efficiency she just wanted to try the experience (and it was very worth it)

Literal translation of the JP title btw is "The Room That Will Spell Doom Unless You Can Make the Otome Game Heroine Cum Three Times"

Correction: I'm stuck in a room where I'll be doomed if I don't make the heroine cums 3 times

Certainly better than the machine translation looking title the original authors put up

"The heroine of the damsel-in-distress game, entered a room that would catasrophe her if she didn't let her go three times."

(https://www.melonbooks.co.jp/detail/detail.php?product_id=714531)

And part two with the subtitle:

"Additional patches of sexually passive Maria"

(https://www.melonbooks.co.jp/detail/detail.php?product_id=763110)

Oh I've bought this and the first part! It's so good! I bought physical Japanese copies, but the circle also has Chinese (traditional and simplified I think?) and English translation versions available. The translation and typsetting is not the same level as what's posted here (which is probably why the scan group decided to redo it) but you can still understand everything pretty well.
The circle sells this doujin and the first part physically and digitally on melonbooks, BOOTH, and DLsite, links available on the pixiv postings here:
Part 1 https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/83085673
Part 2 (this chapter) https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/85643056

I really like these ones because it keeps things so lighthearted and katarina is still so much her oblivious self. It feels like it could have really happened if the canon were to turn towards the Maria route (and become r18 lol)

I know the swastika is an ancient religious symbol with positive meanings, and but seeing P卍4 really threw me for a loop at first lmao.

That was almost certainly an accident involving making a variant of the PS4 logo, combined with the lack of focus WW2 gets in Japanese schools. The author clearly just took the S from the PS4 logo and added another one turned sideways to avoid copyright issues.

Doesn't make the implications better but I'm willing to chalk it up to poor foresight.

Very dodgy topic, but I don't think countries where a symbol is religious shouldn't use it because of WW2 events. It's also very clearly just a 卍 and not sideways S combined, that's grasping at straws to try to rationalize something that doesn't need to be. Mangas don't shy away from using it, just look at tokyo revengers.

I'd like to point out that it's also the symbol used for temples in Google Maps. Legit search for Japan and start zooming in, you'll start seeing it wherever there's a shrine. The specifically WW2 version of the symbol is supposed to be when it's at an angle. If you see it properly oriented horizontally and with no other context then it's likely not related to WW2 (especially if it's in media from Japan or other asian places that use the original normally).

quick edit: I did look a little more at the maps and there are two different symbols, one is the swastika and one looks like a torii gate. I have done zero research on what the difference is, but I think it's shrine vs temple where the swastika is for temples and the torii is shrines.

I love how the magical girls who are clearly capable of flight succumb to a pitfall trap as soon as they enter the dungeon.

It can probably be explained by some magic logic like Alice setting the dungeon to cancel out flight ability or whatever, but I still think it's kinda funny.

Also I see that we've grown the list of hentai kinks featured in the series this chapter. Probably the biggest number that's been featured in a single chapter since they're playing with all three girls separately at the same time.

I am so sorry for the link I'm about to share. (NSFW)

Regardless of any of that stuff, the source is titled "komakase" and tagged komachi/kasen so the intent is there.

I saw "kinuta" and had an inkling that she would turn out to be a tanuki. The story showed us where it was going and I delightfully went along for the ride. Looking forward to seeing more of the two too!

/s Boo, no timeleap Maya x Kuro^4 fivesome group cuddling :))

The younger versions aren't ready. Send them back and grab future Maya, then we have a foursome fun party
