I'm beginning to think it's illegal for vampires to enthrall humans because it's dangerous to the vampire. Perhaps the mangaka has recently seen the trailer for Send Help.

Whether one views Niji as a villain or not, she's made it clear she's no mastermind. She is basically attempting to simplify her situation with all the nuance and forethought of grabbing two people she's never met and going 'now kiss'.

She thinks she knows what kind of “story” they are in and as a “writer” can just move things along. They aren’t people. They are characters in the way of her favorite character. She doesn’t realize that’s not what is actually playing out between them. Just like how she doesn’t really care to understand her bff either and just wants her to fit in a box.

It looked to me like Shu-chan was Narita's college friend first. With the bar chapter being Narita introducing Shu to Aya, telling the story of how Narita and Aya met in high school, and how Aya is when she drinks. So this might just be a case of Shu still getting to know Aya and being uncomfortable with her general Aya-ness. Their energies are totally different.

Also whenever people are constantly talking about someone you don't know like Narita and Aya do with Koga it can feel excluding. I think if Koga hung out with them too vibes would be better, but she isn't a fellow student obv.

Then how do we explain the look Shu gives Aya as she confidently talks about wanting to hang out with Shu and Arita, or also the framing of Aya in that panel? That all had a romantic vibe to it that I can't shake. The touch afterwards makes that seem even more romance-coded to me.

To me that was more like being momentarily pulled in by Aya's charms once they were turned directly onto her, but she snapped out and resisted in the end. Aya is in a devil costume after all.

We are used to Koga's effect on people being framed like that, including in just the last chapter, but Aya seems to have a natural pull too now that she's this comfortable in her own skin. I don't think it has to be romantic. Just a hunch, but I think Shu has something going on with her that makes being around a free spirit feel conflicting.

I'd be surprised if the story goes with Shu-chan not liking physical touch rather than the obvious she likes Aya route.

I agree, mainly because I don't know how not liking physical touch would tie into Mitsuki and Aya. That seems like a simpler and personal problem to solve that wouldn't need much development or teasing. Who knows though.

In the bar chapter they were touched/hung on by Narita and their object of annoyance was still Aya.

Edit: I should read more of the comments before posting. Heh.

She's losing her senses!

My two favs are out already. I'm holding on to the delusion of Maria being the real long-game survivor, but if she's not getting page time in the meanwhile is that even a win?

This wasn't what I was expecting to happen, though it does reinforce the theory that Kon is still alive, given I doubt that they would kill the main protagonist and her aunt off this early on.

Since we have evidence of a Kon-looking person from the past perhaps it’s able to reconstitute the person for reasons. It was reading Kon’s memory before she got absorbed. Maybe it’s just really nosy about what’s going on in the village and recycles people in and out.

sighs What in the world is going on with the translation....? Shakes head It's so bad I think I'll just give up reading this series.... =_= plenty of other things to read that are either consistent, or release a full dang proper chapter each release...

I'm not sure how a scanlator has control over the Japanese release schedule or what the original Japanese content was for that matter.

Marriage, remember? It's the whole plot of this thing. And it's the only reason I can excuse how they're endlessly dragging this charade.

I don't view that as much of an obstacle any longer. We know what both of their feelings are by this point. It feels like most of her issue is not knowing that her single friend also feels the same way as she does. Once she knows it's mutual, I don't think the burden will be that large. She hasn't really thought of her husband that much. He's not factored that strongly into their thinking for a bit. He also doesn't seem like the type to cause a major issue if/when she confesses her real feelings.

It would have been easier if they were both accidentally outed to each other at that party because that’s also in the way. If they were allowed to view each other with that missing piece of women loving info it’d be game over already.

They are getting closer by repeatedly referencing the place they kissed as teens at least. Like a big game of chicken to see who will admit to the other what really happened there.

I might be more alone in this take but I genuinely hate how this series is often just reduced to being called " the green Yuri", it feels really reductive.

It feels more like a short nickname than anything that nefarious to me.

Yeah pretty much every series with a longer name has a "fan name," or a name for search and hashtags like "Magirevo," "MahoAko" etc. Japanese fans have one for nearly everything.

The official short name is Kinioto, but Green Yuri or TGSWIIWAGAA, at least as a sm tag for the second, has more traction outside of Japan.

You think this is meant to be another timeskip since the roommates chapter? I think they're both set a few months after Aya started university as she's still mentioning how surprised she was to see Narita there and their new friend had never seen Mitsuki before.

Two years after the conversation about the refrigerator would just make them 19 in the last chapter. Drinking age is 20 which necessitates a jump. Her drunk talk with Narita felt more like a how-we-met run down in front of Narita’s new friend who didn’t know her yet. So she talked about her early first impression of Narita in high school and how they ended up at the same college back then.

If this was just a few months into their freshman year they wouldn’t legally be drinking in a Japanese bar.

We got two time skips so far and four people left to check in on. It’s possible we time skip right to the end of college if it keeps with the year long jumps. So more version of adult them possible.

I do miss Sumiko’s adult stuff so them growing up has also made me excited for whatever she does next. Whenever she’s been used in the yuri purity wars on social media against other series I’ve liked I’ve wanted to go “she’s done messed up stuff too!” She’s been on her best behavior for years now but those last couple pages had me going for a moment.

The suggestion of Natori being in the line of fire still gets a reaction from Lapis at least. Did she think firing her would give her safety in NPC status? The plot practically sticks to her. There’s going to be a lot of casualties in any kind of suppression of an uprising.

IMO it wasn't just the did she bring a girl home that felt off. normally if a couple moves in together, you say you moved in together, not i got a roommate. Also, the ending panel of her sitting down all shy like they haven't been together for over a year now was also weird. Honestly i had to reread this a couple times just to figure out if it was really them. the shorter bangs made her look more like the other girl, her uncle's gf.

I just took that as Aya trying to hold on to being annoyed for the sake of being the responsible one and failing in the proximity of Mitsuki’s rizz attack. Fake sulking before she lets herself enjoy the surprise. Earlier she was physically contorting back in the kitchen trying to not give up too quickly while Mitsuki was shooting her puppy dog eyes from the couch. She’s weak to rizz and always has been. They are flirting.

She’s fully onboard with Mitsuki’s nonsense by the end. Having a cuddle on the couch in front of some dad rock. They may look older but they haven’t changed their dynamic.

Are door to door salesmen still a thing in Japan?

Is it that different than in the US? I still get a lot of unsolicited roof repair, fence repair, tree trimming, solar, window sellers, jesus sellers... "We were in the neighborhood and-" Only started having problems with my first house. Never with an apartment.

Looks like they do have some door pests in Japan too.

I need to see the scene every morning when the prince wakes up first. So far we’ve only seen the protagonist waking up alone hours later.

Great start so far. There’s the mystery for where she’s been for a couple years on top of just the current app meet up oshi kiss. Please have staying power I need more idol series in my life.

Was NOT expecting that kiss

Girl went from melting into a puddle from a hug
To
Kabedon + kiss combo

Peak character development fr

Is told one time that her directness and honesty are good lovable qualities and uses those same qualities immediately in a lethal finishing move.

The administrator said she’s not the only one working undercover so it’s not all on her shoulders. It doesn’t seem like she knows the identities of the other hidden humans tho.

The first several comment pages of any vampire series on here never disappoints.

GL live action has made some ground recently. I wouldn't have guessed this one would get picked up, but I do really like it. The most recent I'm aware of is Even Though We're Adults and s2 of AyaHiro so this one is definitely a different tone.

This is getting a live action?
"The late-night weekly series will premiere on the TV Osaka and TV Aichi channels on October 4...The series stars Nogizaka46 idol group members Renka Iwamoto (Ameku M.D.: Doctor Detective), right in photo above, and Nao Tomisato (live-action Oshi no Ko )..."

Rereading chapter 2 because I got the physical volume now... is how "Lapis" describes training a commoner what happened to herself as a child?

I also somehow forgot the original Lapis was likely psychic too.

She did reiterate “book” later on in the Live so maybe it will be an English physical release should it happen in a year. I have been spamming the publishing surveys with a lot of success lately. Lol
