Another hint that the artist never forgets about Mitsuki and her music. The artist is dropping hints, and sooner or later something big is going to happen.

Ushio Shio = happy ending. Not particularly outstanding work of hers, but nevertheless is always fun and cute.

You cannot call the professionals to take the person to the ward (or sectioned) unless the person harming herself or planing to harm others.

... Do you live in California, perchance? (Not making a joke, that's a real question.)

Yes. That is the law. A stranger technically can also report, but the chance of succeeding having the person committed is slim. Unless the stranger has concrete evidence, so as a website manifesto declaring the plan to murder someone specific.

I have nothing against people who have that level of mental illness. But I do hope everyone can recognize and understand how mentalily ill such a person is, especially in dating situation. Take as much time as possible to know the person.

Everyboy, from bitter experience. If you, or a loved one, need professional help, GET THAT HELP.

4 of my 6 former partners were ill, 2 of them extremely serious but I did not realized that until the relationships were over. Bofh of them have multipule personality disorder and both have paranoid schizohreia on top. One of them also has bipolar. Both of them knew how to manipulate extremely well, including manipulate for no reasons. Such as accusing someone of sexual harrassment then proceed to secretly cheating on me with that person. The other one was so paranoid that she put firearms next to the windows in all four walls in her room. My parents adored the most manipulative one,while did express concern about the other's physical health, which turned out to be fake. In any case, they were reaally good at manipulation, however, there is no reason for it. Ai will just be wasting time looking for answers. First there was none, second what Kaede said showed that there was somethibg seriously wrong which has nothibg to do with Ai. Ai was just unlucky to know Kaede.

Looking back, I did not know those two exes at all. I gave up trying to get closure because closure actually achieved by recognizing their insanity. I was just unlucky to meet them. I also only knew one side of them, or whatever side they wanted to show to me. It would be similar to what Ai experiencing now, that is, just what Kaede really is, or another side of her. Kaede definitely has the persona of a cult leader. Maybe the husband knows and try to help, but cannot really tell Ai and Kon the truth, as it is both embarrassing and frightening.

You actually cannot force someone to seek help. You cannot call the professionals to take the person to the ward (or sectioned) unless the person harming herself or planing to harm others. Further more, it usually requires close relatives or dometsic partners to make the phone call for help. Friends do not count unless they are the ones who personally felt threatened. Ai qualifies not because they were dating (but not anymore), but rather Kaede choked her. Ai genuinely believed that Kaede tried to murder her.

OMG Kaede is insane, literally.

I always love Kuran.

The artist says it will continue, abuot the couple's College life.
"Drawing the scene of their graduation—feeling all sentimental and deeply moved by the occasion—I somehow ended up making it look like a series finale... but rest assured, it’s not over yet! (Lol.)
The "College Arc" begins now! Thank you for your continued support of these two!"

every day we are more close to old woman with plump skin -> old woman with saggy skin !!!

Now I need a story between two women who look like Nobu.

This manga is about two much older women.

Sequel series to the novel penned by Inori releasing Jan 26. (Note: Premise of novel somewhat spoils the end of the series.)

Even a one line description of the LN will spoil the potential ending of the originial manga. But then again you can always read the spoiler yourself by reading the LN.

Still quite a bit to go. I don't know what pace the artist will draw but my bet will be we will end at vol.13, To draw 5 more chapters to have a 14th volume will take some planning and intetionally massively slow the pace.. The story is gradually getting close to its climax..

Claire is naive, filled with wrong pride out of guilt.

I was skeptical of this manga initially especiially since I am not into fantasy. But nowadyas this is one of my favorites. Like it enough to read the LN to find out the ending. I read this chapter in raw when it came out. The language is unusually way above my understanding. I could not understand the dialogue between Manaria and Lily. All I know was the result of the fight. I also understand the sequence of Raeand Clafre's interactions.
Since I know the story, I cannot comment much. The evil Lily character design was well done.

Thank you for the translations. There are still quite a few chapters to go. I hope the manga chapters would come out more often.

Wow, this one is great. Thanks for the TL.

I absolutely love this manga. I always take my time looking at the details of each panel.

Which girls are now out? Which girls are practically out? Which girls are still in and in good shape? Which girls have yet to make any move and technically still in the running? I lost count. Someone remind me please and who is who? I think there are 7 in total at the beginning.

It's a matter of the rules of the school. Especially nowadays, it's a big no-no for instructor date students in any capacity, especially between an undergrad and a professor. It's considered an abuse of power. In real life this has very good reasons, because a good number of women (and the occasional man) have been pressured into unwanted relationships by their instructors. It's much harder to prove that someone sexually assaulted you than to show that they're in a relationship that is explicitly forbidden by the school.

In the manga, I don't care, Maria-sensei endgame. But the mangaka isn't pulling this plot point out of nowhere.

Actaully in real life colleges do have solutions to this situations. Both parties (the faculty member is a must) need to report the relationship, or potential relationship, to a special division of a College (sometimes called civil rights division). Faculty member will rescind all power that he has directly or indirectly over the student. This include not teaching any classes the student is in. Not supervising any T.A. that is responsible for grading the student's exams. Not supervising any T,A.'s lectures to the students. Resign from all committes whether it is academic or social concerning the student. Not being a supervisor of the student. This is especially true when it comes to the thesis. Any privikedge that the faculty member can grant to the student is rescinded. Several high ranking officials and department faculties will also be informed.
If a situation cannot be avoided, for example, a class which the faculty teaches has no other alternatives lecturers, then some form of education plan will be made so that the student can fulfill the requirement. Sometimes you may even take the class in another institution under special arrangement, These are so called part of the back up plans when the faculty first made the report. There are guidelines that have been formed exactly for this type of situations.Seldom used, but they exist.
The rules do not apply to romantic partners or spouse whose relationship started before their enrollment to the school, but they still need to report to the civil right divisions.
Failures to disclose your relationship with a student to the department can lead to suspension or termination. This is especially true if there is a whistle blower reported the relationship before the faculty member filed it first.
So while it is not adviced to do so, and can be career damaging, it is not a completely prohibitive behavior for a faculty member to date a student. But it will take extensive planning to eliminate the power imbalance between the two persons involved.

Finally, if the two persons involved are from two different departments, then it is not as strict. If both persons are from two different schools within the College (Such as the British system where a University is made up of mutiple colleges, or American universities which professional majors belonged to a totally different school within a College), then there is no need whatsoever to disclose. So if you are an art professor and dating a law school student, there is no need to report. If you date a music student (different major, but both belonged to the humanities department) you need to report but the backup plans probably is not needed, But if you date an art student, then things will be very complicated, probably with a large and complex backup plan. Or the department may outright tell you to either break up or resign. Or maybe if you have good luck, become a visiting professor for another institution until the student graduate. Of the student in the art department can always switch to become an accounting major in the business school, but changing school within a College usually mean you have to start all over again because frequently the basic class requirements are of totally different types.

This is a manga. Otherwise Maria should clearly stated that if she date Mei, she can be terminated. The wise thing to do is to search for a visiting professorship chair in a nearby institution if she is truly serious about Mei. It can be a sacrfice. Finally, we do not know if Mei is a psychology major or not. She herself can also switch major or transfer. In any case, Mei X Maria is practically sunk.

My backup ship is Riri. I don't have a good feeling of that one either.

The ticket is the reminder that the arc (Mitsuki and her abandonment of music) will resume soon. I would assume eventually Mitsuki will talk to Aya when returning her ticket and finally told her the reason. My guess of the remaining arc will be to get Mitsuki into a music career in her own fashion and style. After all, it was clear that she did not enjoy playing with her band that time and quit right in the middle of it. Exactly what displeased her is the central question or solution to the arc.
The fact that Aya bought a ticket for a concert on the same day that the boss will throw a party and invited Mitsuki to play is a plot setting up a potential drama which in need of a resolution. That will continue the College arc. I never thought that there was no arc for the College years, instead I always think the arc has to be about Mitsuki and her music. The development is just slow, with lots of fluff chapters, which I don't mind.

lol

I really wish my ship Mei X Maria works, but it will take a miracle....Maria needs to stop acting "professional". What she said to Mei hurts Mei actually. So what if you and your professor is a couple? You can always request a switch of an advisor, and 90% of the classes will not be lectured by her. Finally, you can also change major and completely eliminate the problem, unless you really are into psychology. You can keep the relationship secret for a couple of years, and by the time you are in your third year I don't think people give a crap.
