The 'Don't tell anyone else's smile is so beautiful...ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ

By the way, Sora.. doesn't seem like showing her sadness around people.
Behind her smiling face, she hides it.
Maybe something happened in her house that she moves to Kyushu but that woman is her mom?
She's talking about her mom?

Hmm.. can I assume that she has a bad relationship with mom...?

A common reason for people to instinctively hide away their feelings would be a background of abuse or neglect (which is a form of abuse of course) during their childhood. If a child learns that nobody will respond when they show signs of need or distress, or if these hints of weakness and vulnerability are punished or exploited, then they will quickly learn to bottle up these vulnerable emotions. They become things that they have to deal with themselves - things that need to be kept separate from the outside world.

Based on what we see about the relationship of Sora and her Mother so far, and the things she says when talking about her mother, it would be likely that she was victim of some sort of abusive upbringing - though we of course cannot yet tell the details here - and there is a good chance that this is also why she bottles up about these kinds of emotions.

I certainly haven't seen another yuri story about an otaku beating up a group of gyaru bullies and forcing the gyaru MC to play out the otaku's defiled night fantasies and similar.

Then I assume you haven't read Lilies Complex, yet? ;) - https://dynasty-scans.com/series/lilies_complex - I guess she doesn't beat the bullies up per se, but there is a lot more open NSFW content there, for those looking for it.

three chapters to this point makes me think that the characterization will be entirely surface-level to put all the focus on the actual fetish at play. Which, more power to those that enjoy it, but I'm a touch surprised the author's not leaning harder into overt NSFW stuff like actual nudity, given the "plot" is basically "nerd beats up bully and sexually abuses her into a relationship".
Unless actual depth gets added to their characters at some point, I don't see this going far on a gimmick based around sexual violence with only implied lewdness and nothing more...feels like the stakes would have to be raised in some capacity to prevent it going stale, and each character is flat-enough that I don't know if banking on an actual narrative being the driving force is wise.

Hey - Ecchi het-slob mangas can survive for hundreds of chapters merely by having a bunch of (figuratively) completely flat characters flash their panties every page, so there seems to be some demographic who is just there for that soft NSFW stuff - where you never actually see anything, but you most definitely don't want to be caught reading it at work anyway.

I'm a bit disappointed by the apparent direction. The initial setup of "I'm into little girls, that sucks and I'm trying to cope" was pretty interesting. Having an 8 year old 'fall' for her reduces the realism and undermines the premise.

I've also no idea where this manga ultimately will land on. like you said it's an interesting premise but even since the early chapters from the way Aika is drawn in specific focused panels (and including this very newest chapter) it seemed to go against that premise at least from the author's intent. though to be fair Riko has gotten some focused panels like this too, so.

If I'm being honest I don't think that was every the actual setup. This was always written as an age-gap romance story, and the whole stick with Riko framing her own attraction to minors as negative was just a tool to stretch the pacing out, while also painting her as less predatory.

At no point did the story actual revolve around Riko trying to overcome her complex or struggling with the consequences, and the growing relationship between her and Aika has always been depicted as a cute and wholesome thing even when this kind of inappropriate attraction comes into play.

I really liked the series when it started. It felt like it had so much potential, but the moment the other witches got introduced the pacing just went completely out of the window. There are dozens of new characters and plot threads and ideas introduced each chapter, none of which are properly explored. I don't even know what's going on anymore in the latest chapter.
It pains me to say, but I honestly think the series deserved getting axed.

Just saw that the manga is already completed with 4 volumes / 32 chapters.

My prediction based on the first few chapters would be that Girly suddenly feels bad about peeping and bursts out of the hiding place to stop his classmate from undressing in this situation - once more revealing his nice personality and how he is constantly concerned about the well-being of others. This will then make yet another 'girl' develop a crush on him, and then 'she' either reveals the truth by her self, or it gets revealed by accident (or it remains hidden for the time being).

The author really has a knack for horror it feels. There was chapter 11, and now this one with the strange twisted visuals. I love it!

And Oh! I have another hypothesis! What if part of the reason why so many people there are in drag is because they found out early that the new girl will without a doubt be isolated and hunted in a school like this, so they decided to play drag queen to be supportive, and get in touch with a bit of their feminine side along the way! What a way to play Among Us!

I assume it's going to be more that each character will be given a unique reason. That would be the smart decision from a writing perspective at least, since you can then tie this in with their unique personalities, and their plot arcs. It is very likely that for at least one of them your idea will be true though.

I read through the first 7 books of the webnovel now, and I have to say - jeez - Miyagi has to be the most dense character I ever encountered.

Sendai keeps wanting to french kiss me, while we embrace naked in bed. I wonder why she'd want to do this? It's not like she actually likes me or anything...

Not a criticism. I actually do like the more unique character this gives her, and the slow-burn romance resulting from it (or else I wouldn't have kept reading).

(Manga reader only, for now)
Wait, Miyagi is the dense one? After this chapter I would expect it to be the other way.

At this point of the story both of them are still pretty dense, but Sendai figures out what she wants at a typical romance-manga pace. Miyagi on the other hand has issues after having been pretty much abandoned by her parents, which lead her to instinctively mistrust any kind of close attachment, and is afraid that letting anybody close will just lead to her getting abandoned and hurt once more - so yeah - she reacts to any sign of affection from Sendai by pulling away on instinct, and doubting the underlying intentions.

Oh right - the translation for this one has been out for two years over at mangadex. And here I thought this was a new work by the author already ^^

Noooo. She got rejected. :O

Hmmmmmm, I've been thinking. Could she and Sui be the same person?? I mean it is really unlikely. But... they do look alike a little on the image with the four woman. I mean, that's really unlikely I guess. It's probably just me, clinging to the last straw, that this is not a love triangle. -.-

I don't think so. I did have the same thought after reading the 1st chapter at some point, but there are just too many elements that don't fit. I do think that there is some connection between the two though.

My current theory is that they are sisters or similarly related, and look very closely alike because of that - which might also explain why Sui canceled the date at the last second: She needs some time to console her sister who has been crushed from the rejection. Still feels like a very soap-opera kind of coincidence, but more believable than the two of them being the same person - at least to me.

i'm guessing it's not gonna end up being mao but ruirui instead

I'm thinking it might be Futami-san herself, manipulating her authors to keep them isolated and at constant odds with each other, thus making them vulnerable and leaving her the only person they can latch onto for support.

What's with the tag on chapter 12? I checked page 16 and there are no exposed breasts on that page.

https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/girlfriend_limited_to_7_days_ch12#16

What do you see in the lower left?

That is a singular nipple, but the tag clearly promises nipples plural. This is illegal advertisement, and I demand to talk to the manager!

First page and everything (= v =)
Also, I’m a little confused, will the original (this version) be uploaded alongside the serialized manga?

Looks like it. I assume work on the original will be put on hold while the serialization happens though - or did the author state that they wanted to work on both at the same time?

Isn’t the point of most harem anime that the MC eventually has to choose the “right” girl?

Yeah - kinda. This whole trope would be tied in with the traditional love triangle, in which the different romance partners represent opposing values: "Do I marry the rich and handsome count, just like my family wants, even though I don't love him - Or do I run away with the dangerous outlaw, who I have passionate feelings for, but who can only offer me a life of uncertainty and instability." - And then the story will be about the character exploring these options, discovering their up- and downsides, and finally reaching a decision.

Now this classic setup works well enough for a single volume of a novel, but when you have a long running series this would get stale very fast. There is only so much you can explore between two options. So a lot of harem stories try to compensate by just throwing in more and more love-interests - What about option 3? What about option 4? In the end the protagonist is of course still expected to choose one of them - and I don't think I have seen one of these series where his choice isn't one of the initial two (unless it is a true harem ending, which does indeed happen sometimes).

Can't say I am a big fan of harem series either for this reason. A lot of them are just watered-down love-triangles.

"And we wound up on a deserted island."

... how far from the beach did they go on their tiny boat thingie?!

Wouldn't surprise me if they just washed up a bit further down the shore from the hotel, and just jump to the conclusion that they are on a deserted island because some trees block the view to the building.

So - there is that moment when Ouma's hair changes color, and she suddenly forgets what she had been doing. Right after that she suddenly start noticing that Toudou is haunted. I assume that means that Ouma had been haunted by the entity up till that moment, and that it jumped to the next host at this point.

i think the entity is Toudou's pevert friend as you can see her behind them when they are talking i forgot her name

I don't think so, because Ouma already saw the aura of Toudou's pervert friend in the past clinging to her body, and this current entity seems something entirely new.

Is her being haunted by some terrifying entity a new plot-point? Or is that something that got set up in one of the previous chapters and I just forgot about it?

Would be kinda funny if every single member of her current harem ends up leaving her for one reason or another, and she just ends up alone after having been handed a buffet of potential partners.

So chapter 5 and 6 had already been out two years ago (just never got translated). Are there any news on whether the manga is out of hiatus, now that the translation got picked up again?

The two characters explicitly had a relationship prior to the earliest scenes in the story, so it's natural for me to include the implied information about what that was like in how I describe the characters. If someone else wants to do something different, like focusing on explicitly depicted information only, then it's not my business to tell someone else how to enjoy a story. Nonetheless, the other stuff is part of the story and setting the author has carefully prepared for us.

The entire discussion was specifically about this chapter - how Niji had been somebody that some people could sympathize until this point, and now became villainous in a not fun way right here specifically. That was the initial post you quoted and answered to, so yes - we would of course look at this chapter and what happens here.

I do think she cares about Remu and values their relationship.

Like I said - I do not think she cares about Remu at all - at least not in the current chapter. Maybe she did at some other point, but right now she only cares about herself, and this shows itself very clearly in the way she speaks - never expressing any actual concern for Remu, but only focusing on herself, and how Remu's action reflect back on her.

Maybe she will come to her senses in some later chapter and be deeply apologetic, but right now she is just acting out of pure selfish desire. We'll have to wait for future chapters to see how things turn out.
