I'm really glad I kept reading after the first chapter put me off so hard. It's a nice story all told.

We've been getting some nice body horror recently.

Now all we need is for the sleepover to end and free us from this purgatory.

At the risk of pulling on a string not meant to be taken too seriously, but how did the school know about them "passing" their tests together late at night essentially in private? That has some worrying implications.

the least creepy explanation i can think of is that staff saw the food and drinks that was left out for them was eaten properly and made note of it in the morning.

Though even then the food being left out is at least somewhat concerning, because it means the staff knew they would be eating together. I guess it's supposed to be thought of as the staff believing in their ability to come together, but the issue there is that this whole school set up feels like the students are an experiment...

There are a lot of disturbing implications if you think about this series too hard. I advise you to join me in not doing that.

Is this a 2 parter? That line about spit and the sudden death of the bird seem like there is a bit more to tell of this story.

The timelines are crossing. Who knows what will happen?

Maybe sumie really thought that this was a transactional thing. Maybe her feelings aren't the same.

She's clearly got some hangups, likely from a past relationship. Our adorable idiot is gonna have to break through some barriers for a happy ending.

You see, this would be a nice ending. But it isn't one. I'm not sure this series will get one of those.

It's an interesting question, but as they said smell makes up a large part of what we taste so curry flavored poop would probably need to smell like curry too. But yeah, don't eat poop.

Bunch of interesting theories in this thread. I find this series pretty intriguing and am looking forward to seeing more of it.

Don't all of us want to be manipulated into confessing to our friends?

Friends don't let friends Kermit sewer slide for a gag.

Well, that was sure a thing. I feel like nothing got resolved really, but that's probably pretty realistic for a relationship between two screwed up kids. Hopefully their off-screen character growth has them set up better.

Well... I was trying to ignore the most problematic aspects of the story but I've got to say, showing the popular and bubbly life, from when her thoughts and feelings were her own, of the girl who just got brainwashed into being in love with Ruruna is really twisting the knife in the salted wound.

Moral quandaries that sour the fluff tend to be written around in series like this. I'd say there is like a 90% chance the girl is not actually enslaved and is playing along with it because our vampire lead is so adorable.

It feels weird that she calls her "Master" rather than "Mistress".

That sort of stuff happens a lot in non-English media using gendered English terms like that. I'd say it's kind of a trope at this point that female characters get called male gendered titles in manga and anime. Could be part of the general trend towards gender neutral terms in English, or, more likely, a product of Japanese people not being fluent in English. I'd just get used to it as a quirk of the medium.

Ancient girl boss x modern girl failure. Let's go!

Not to derail the hype train for the plot finally happening, but what was the reason for this whole brothel binge in the first place? She knew Mai as a kid right? Was there a reason given as to why she couldn't just call her mom or something?

I'm in this photo and I don't like it. Meandering pointlessly through life and wishing it would all end is a pretty common experience, even for those of us who haven't made an attempt yet. Well, tomorrow could be better. Most gamblers quit right before they've hit it big.

Title drop, roll credits.

This was a fun surprise. I love getting little bits of fluff from after the series ends.

After I had my wisdom teeth removed I spent a week eating applesauce to the point where I can no longer stomach applesauce. I really should have had it done in China, I guess.

Wow, this is a blast from the past. Glad to see someone is still working on this series.

I'm excited to see where this one goes. It's shaping up to be one of the greats.

I'm starting to think that these two deserve each other. That might be a bit harsh since Wakaba appears to be a perfectly nice person who is just a few levels above the usual "yuri protagonist" level of density. Seriously though, watching these two idiots going through increasingly intense mental gymnastics to avoid the blatant reality right in front of their faces is something else.

I know this is an adaptation of something, does anyone know how long the original is? Is it finished or ongoing?

This author is consistently great. Always happy to see more stuff from them.

actually i didn´t dislike the boyfriend, he seems a pretty chill boy and i do hate men on yuri stories.

Idk if a "chill" dude would forcefully drag his girlfriend (and not gently, as she complains about grip strength) somewhere dark and secluded, then complain like being caught in the act of something when interrupted only to go away and leave the girlfriend behind instead of asking for privacy. Boy was acting super caught-in-the-act guilty.

This but

I’m willing to give him some benefit of the doubt, like maybe he’s also just as much of a pushover as MC and only wanted to kiss her cuz his friends made fun of him for not doing anything with her despite datin for a year

I think it would be interesting if he was also socially pushed into a hetero relationship he's not actually interested in, and it turns out he's also gay. So the MC ends up with the girl, and he ends up with another boy in class.

Perfectly Balanced

Embrace the gay. It fixes everything.
