The entire show said light=love and it was lara trying to find the light
Mari was lara's light = Mari was lara's love, whether it was romantically, platonically, or familially

we didn't see that at the end, we saw lara abandon her light, her love, to find it somewhere else

Exactly! What pissed me off with this ending was that they swerved to an extreme independence message that didn't fit the build up in all the other episodes at all. It just came off as heartless and from a completely different story.

Beyond the cowardice of having the girl be confirmed as the true love and not committing to making them a couple while making an entire episode focused on her going on dates with the comphet plot device dude, if they wanted to subvert the idea that the love as a source of light didn't need to be romantic, have it as the light came from the people she met, the warmth she received at work, from her friends like Himeka and have Mari being the representation of the love she received from humans.

It could have been a story about her learning appreciation for humans while not making her seem like a completely heartless individual isolating herself from everyone that helped her, specially in realizing that the "true love" her family was forcing onto her (romantic, with a prince) wasn't the only way to become whole, now that they have no use.

A lot of people are mad about Mari being left with nothing, and I think the situation of this character represents it because she was the major supporting force through Lara's journey and was left alone and crying. But I'm still thinking about all that time developing a bunch of characters teaching her about life and giving her warmth and how much better it would be if they showed her learning to be human with her web of support, her found family.

The extreme independence for a character that is physically 15-16, with no education, no source of money like inheritance, only one job experience is so unrealistic it pissed me off. It seems more like a character arc fit for someone graduating High School or a character who has lived enough in human society. Lara hasn't.

She'll go find a new light all alone? Then what was the point of all the Slice of Life? What was the point of Mari sacrificing herself as her best friend? What was the point of "I want to be in a world with you"? People can grow together without being codependent, there is no need for isolation to make it a point that Lara was going to look for something of her own, that is beyond her duty as the princess who needs to bring the light.

The ending was just weird, and that's beyond shipping. Lara came off as a bad friend to everyone around her, not even just Mari. But specially to Mari, who DIED for her. And was left with just loss. Now Lara will go out, find new friends, discover new things, cutting off Mari. Lara could explore the world with Mari, her being a romantic partner or merely a friend.

Nothing was solved at the end, a lot of characters were introduced and they were just plot devices to tell a story that has no real message. Beyond the queer erasure, I felt like I wasted my time just like all of those characters that were used for Lara to get an ending that is good for her and no one else. I lowkey want all the weeks I spent watching this BS wanting a heartwarming message back.

Edit: Dear GOD there were so many typos it felt like I was having a stoke. I'm just THIS MAD ig...

Can I be fr? My working theory about the Older Magical girl is that she's Junna's older sister. Simply because their faces and hairstyles are very similar but the ages don't match AT ALL (plus the eyes are different).

We don't see her family around, and either a conflict with her older sister or hatred for losing her older sister to being a magical girl (be it as in literally losing her or not having her sister around due to "work") is a good origin to Junna's grudge.

Junna knows what she's doing.

Granny knows what's up.

Idk if this qualifies as cheating if it's girlfriend-sanctioned. more like open relationship at that point

Exactly. Or the gf has a cuck fetish and the other is so straightforward she does as she's asked.

Girl deadass said "Fluids are inside ruruna-sama" to blood...

"Lewd human" and that's Freakassaurus 3000. The levels of horny to call blood fluids... Too much.

8th graders

8 year olds. 3rd graders.

Thanks for correcting me on that one. I thought one thing and typed the other!

And she doesn't need to date or act on it. She's apparently attracted to and turned on by 8 year olds, that's what makes her pedophilic.

That's the thing, when I said she self-proclaims and isn't a sick fuck that should be in jail and it isn't a girl in puberty consuming illegal stuff: nothing in the series, because of its tone, showed her turned on. At least in my opinion. Doki doki, blushing and stuff like that isn't equivalent to being extremely horny.

It just isn't that type of story imo.

People here are forgetting this is a story about a self-proclaimed lolicon being corrected by a loli developing an oneesan complex going after her.

The point of Riko's "thing for 3rd graders" having a justification (her crush from 8 years ago never being realized and becoming a lingering regret) means that she's projecting and that she will not, in fact, abandon Aika the moment she becomes a teenager when they get into a relationship.

Had Riko dated someone her age in the past and realized she was incapable of feeling attracted to age-appropriate people, then yeah she is a sick pdf. But that never happened. And never will. Aika will make her get over whatever trauma is getting her so fixated on young girls and when Aika is 16 and looks even prettier than Yuuka, Riko will still like her.

The wording for the premise is icky, and this is a comedy that will never get into the whole "girl hitting puberty becoming sure about her paraphilia", because since the start Riko never indulges into whatever this is. She never consumes wrong stuff. She never fantasizes about such things. And the ghost of her past is always there because in every 3rd grader she sees that girl from 8 years ago.

Is making a loli fall for her and make her pay attention to her as a person and not a stand-in for a failed crush the best lolicon correction method? No. Would love to actually never see them actually date before Aika turns 18. Give me a time skip. Give them time apart. Something.

But, like, from what I got from reading this story so far, Riko is not an actual PDF. It's a questionable age-gap romance, not a self-insert story for sickos.

Congratulations, Ooma, you get to be a pretty lady's dressup doll. Living the dream!

...Why do I get the impression Zai has been nursing a crush on the demon lord for two lifetimes now?

What if he has a crush on both and always wanted to be their third? But no place for men in Yuri! Find yourself a boyfriend, sir.

Oh. So she did get it!
I stand corrected.

I will genuinely cry if it turns out Riri had something to do with the demon lord's death. I did NOT like that hand trembling here.

I think that even if that turns out to be the case, it would have been for a very good reason.

I was thinking of something more in the lines of her family or any former associates betrayed the Demon Lord and she was too powerless to stop it or realized it too late and now in her present life she still carries this regret and feels as if she herself betrayed him (despite it not being true at all, but the source of guilt would've come from "if only I was never in his life, these people wouldn't have done that" aka she feels like she's part of the reason he got stabbed in the back, quite literally)

I will genuinely cry if it turns out Riri had something to do with the demon lord's death. I did NOT like that hand trembling here.

I'm sorry girl but your negative IQ ass doesn't get SHIT.

Don't fall for the bait, guys. She hasn't realized she's in love with Ayumu yet.

Get him (her), girl! Demon lord has been oblivious for a lifetime, now make that little girl suffer! (+ you guarantee you don't get in legal trouble for marrying a minor)

Ok, so does everyone agree that Yuuka should be executed?

I love peas but WHO DOES THAT WHEN 2 OTHER PEOPLE HATE THEM? Yuuka was a minority and acted as a damn tyrant and I the people need her head now!

I am a little bit afraid the elf might end up doing it with the father or mother at some point...

Seeing the author's pixiv, I am REALLY concerned it will not be a "fluffy yuri story about an isekaid former s3x worker not ashamed of her past finding a partner in another world and exploring other things she wants to do because now she can" instead of a "well she'll cheat because in her culture monogamy is not a big deal or whatever. look! she was a lady of the night! she became desensitized to people's feelings" h3ntai since the artist's hand is probably ITCHING to draw a d1ck.

I would love it if the sexuality of the female character was just another trait about her instead of an excuse to portray her as promiscuous as if bi people can't have a serious monogamous relationship just because they are attracted to more than one gender.

Anyways, looking forward to seeing the human girl giving in [evil laugh]

They outshine the canon couple because they already act married. Love this hehehe

Anyways… That prince is a bitch. He won’t admit he almost killed his fiancée and her maid (who’s still a noble albeit lower class) suffered a big injury with multiple witnesses to it because of his incompetence and pride.

He could think the hand itself was a trick, an illusion, but to accuse the injury of being nonexistance shows how much of a bad person he is. Him snapping at her is a proof of his character. If he had done something like accept the refusal for compensation and said something like “I apologize for the distress” (half assed excuse, not even mean it) and then LEFT, we wouldn’t have had to be HUMILIATED by his now ex-fiancée… So, yeah, that bitch deserved it.

Nice ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Cute

^ married for 50 years

LMAO

Cute

It's not too hard to understand. The girl with a parasol just failed to get into the school, right? And she's just moping around in front of it and pretending like she goes there because she likes to walk with the girl she came to admire. I think that part, where she disappears, is her trying to get her act together to get into the school (going back to hearing the girls he admires is only going to be there for 1.5 more years before leaving).

Yup, this is a good summary. I didn't really find it hard to follow tbh, not sure why people here are complaining about the translation.

A fun oneshot, I wish we got to see more of the parasol girl's jealousy turn into love, but I enjoyed both characters.

I had the feeling this oneshot just missed the scene in which the girl shows up as a student. I didn’t get the last page… was she back? I wish we had more explicit closure…

I’m ok with the Iroha x Satoru ship (it’s canon now btw, so the fanarts will never stop), I just want more yuri crumbs now (Yukimayu, since anyone who ships Iroha/Komugi and doesn’t like poly will be kinda sad now).

Go back to the inherent homosexual tension between magical girls, please, we know straights exist but let us have this…

Mayu being a shipper is a fun af gag (she’s us) but let the girl have a hot make out session with her cat who turns human, or idk go back to that plot of the classmates wanting Yuki to join the theatre club and make Mayu dress up as the romantic pair bc Yuki wouldn’t do it if Mayu wasn’t on the play.
