I think this may be the first series I've seen where the ever-ubiquitous pick-up artists, that always seem to show up in romance manga, were women.

I also loved Nagi's reaction, basically being like "Oh well, of course I'm getting hit on because I'm so awesome. What can you do" and the trope subversion with her dad being supportive was really sweet too.

Hooray, an update! Nice timing too, with the recent license announcement.

The backstory continues to add to Ami's character. And apparently shamelessness runs in the family; I couldn't imagine being a parent who comes back home just to beg their high school child for money.

The scene at the end is also interesting. I'm getting the impression that this is all some kind of messed up "test" that Ami's putting Rei through. Like she's acting really awful to intentionally try and drive Rei away, and Rei realizes and is calling her on it. Certainly doesn't make what she's doing right or healthy, but it does make for an intriguing story. I also wonder why the friends keep going along with it? Surely they must have some awareness of what's going on between Rei and Ami, and ought to know well enough to politely excuse themselves?

I loved this chapter, and have been waiting for something like it ever since the series started. The setting for this is so unique and cool, but it really dove right into the action immediately, and this is the first time it's really let up. I'm hoping this slowdown continues for a bit more, so we get more cool lore like we got this chapter, and also further development of the two leads.

Woo, new series by Sal Jiang! Off to a nice start already. Presumably the woman in the last panel is the Jirai-ke girl from the title art, and also the main love interest. If so, I'm excited to probably see what her deal is next chapter.

One thing I enjoyed about her previous series, Black & White and AyaHiro, is that they featured noticeable shifts in plot direction and tone around the end of volume 1/beginning of volume 2, and it was fun to see the transition. I wonder if this will follow the same pattern, and if so, what direction it's planning to go in.

Wow, I was not expecting her to just come right out and say it. The contrast of the beautiful full page of Ruka's admission, contrasted with Kohaku's expression on the next page, was pure gold.

Miyako finally comfortable enough with Pakee to joke around about it. That's real character development right there. XD

Also, dang Ruri. Not content with just being a breadwinner, she's gonna found an entire company for the purpose of employing her GF. What a flex.

I loved this series a lot. Overall very cozy and wholesome, and I adore Yodokawa's art, especially the way she draws expressions. I can't wait to see what she does next. She mentioned in the volume 1 afterword that this series came about because she wanted something with a relaxed vibe after getting burned out doing her prior series, and I'm curious if she's going to continue with this kind of easygoing story, or if she'll pivot again to the opposite side of the spectrum.

Also, a reminder that the series has an official English release from Yen Press, with three volumes out so far!

Somehow missed this one when it was first uploaded, but I'm excited for another Amazaki Suika series! Her recent Cabaret girl one was great, and I'm liking the vibe of this first chapter already too. I'm curious if this is going to be a full series, or just a limited one volume serial like the Cabaret girl one.

Oh hey, this made it on here! It's funny, I don't actually like watching live basketball very much, but stories about basketball are consistently some of my favorite sports stories, and this series is no exception to that.

Speaking of which, what's the Sukeban manga that ended they mentioned in the credits page of chapter 42?

The title's name is Sukeban and Transfer Student, which has a few chapters on here uploaded under the name it had when it was a pixiv series: A Delinquent, A Transfer Student, and Their Silly Little Game.

Certainly one of the endings of all time.

Ah yes, time for Aaaaaangst

Surprisingly serious chapter for this series. It's cool to get some backstory for Ruka.

If Suuna wakes up right now, she might actually just die. XD

Oh no, Michi's dad is hot.

All of these bonus comics are amazing. I can't decide if my favorite is Kasumi straight up admitting she mainly like Sayaka for her face, or Sayaka being wonderfully dumb as usual.

Oh wow, it's been so long since the last work with these two, that I didn't think we were getting any more. What a nice surprise!

I've loved every Usui Shio series I've read so far, and based on this chapter I expect that streak to continue. Like seemingly everyone else though, I am surprised to see Usui Shio doing such an openly horny series. I'm here for it though!

Always nice to get another chapter of this series. It's always such a delight.

Adorable fluff chapter. I love to see it.

Also, can I just take the opportunity to shout out Mikawa a bit? What an absolute champion. She spotted that Yamada was crushing on Kase way back at the beginning, and has been super supportive of their relationship the whole way. She was the only character to call out Kase in the last arc, and she's great at giving Yamada a bit of a push when Yamada needs it, but never goes too far. Everyone could use a friend like her. She's 100% earned the right to show up late at night and mooch food. XD

Asumi out here winning both literally and figuratively.

Mei, nearly making out with Karin in the bath doesn't necessarily mean you're in love, it just means you're horny. XD

(But that's okay!)

Wow, that was quite a bit darker than Nmi's previous one-shots. I dig it though. All of their one-shots have been bangers; I'd love to see what they can do with a full series.

A shark-tooth gyaru? I was definitely not expecting this development, but I'm intrigued.

This is reminding me of the recent race arc in Kase-san, in that it's one of my favorite series taking an abrupt nosedive in quality due to a dumb drama arc that makes very little sense. At least Nagisa finally told off the glasses girl this time, though it's kind of ridiculous that Nagisa immediately starts pressing Mashiro to answer her own question after brushing off Mashiro's question. Not a good look.

So far, this series has been really good at keeping up a brisk pace, so I'm still holding onto hope that this will be resolved swiftly and won't drag on for more than a couple chapters after this. Maybe the creator can stick the landing, but so far it's hard for me to see this arc as anything other than a misstep.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who is kinda confused by the ending. I really liked the first few chapters of this; it felt like exactly my preferred flavor of angst. But unfortunately I felt it kinda fell apart by the end.

Nice to see this updated! I've loved the first chapter ever since it was uploaded, so I'm really happy that it looks like the rest of the series is going to be getting translated!

So like is there some romance going on between Ms Mangaka and the other idol? I honestly am not sure

I generally read them as having a queerplatonic relationship. They're clearly close, but they also both have expressed that they aren't interested in romance, and not in a tsundere way.

Oh, a new update, nice!

I wonder what's really going on here. There's obviously some kind of miscommunication, but I'm about as lost as the MC in terms of figuring out what Rurika's thinking.
