Read a little bit ahead of what's been posted here and to me Jolene feels more like a sociopath who realized early on that antisocial behavior had steep, long-lasting social ramifications, and that she needed to squash her violent impulses and play by the rules of others if she wanted to get by in life. She's definitely got some of the traits associated with yanderes, but doesn't really have much of the single-minded limerent obsession that defines the archetype.

This chapter is interesting because if it weren't for the cover art you'd assume for all the world Sui likes Ren. But there is the cover art, so we know she's actually in love with someone else and is using Ren as a replacement, and when Ren inevitably finds out she's going to have a mega crashout. Textbook dramatic irony. I'm scared but also excited.

Yeah I have a feeling this might develop into a rebound daisy-chain where Ren will just keep hooking up with the chick from the bar whenever Sui goes back to her situationship/crush until it stops being casual.

Rare show of vulnerability from Yuni. They might've had something nice in different circumstances, I think.

I always assumed no one had ever asked about her family since she doesn't seem to have any close friends, but it makes more sense that she felt the need to hide it since most of her school peers seem to come from much higher class backgrounds.

This manga edging dangerously close to "How do I Get Together With My Childhood Friend?" levels of confession sabotage.

Hario does need a bit more screentime tbh, he's been conveniently absent for a while. Would be weird if he wasn't jealous of Takara considering it's kind of obvious by now Ema likes her more than him and he's been waiting literal years for Ema to come around to him.

This is probably the fastest I've ever seen someone go from googling "what are lesbians" to having gay sex. Didn't even take 24 hours. Gay awakening Any% WR.

Well at least the crazy is mutual. Still has worrying implications for the future of the main couple if Sayori and Mizuki are supposed to be parallel to them. Maybe Kasumi's suicidal tendencies will activate something in Haruyo like a sleeper agent.

Cute! Feels like something you'd see in an anthology from 20 years ago.

The world-building is really gonna make or break this one for me I think. If the vampire roommate had no qualms killing that girl on night one (assuming no red herring), then I imagine there's not really too many legal or social consequences for doing so in vampire world. Which begs the question of why anyone would want to send their human children to live in a school full of deadly predators they will be cohabitating with 24/7, unsupervised, with no safeguards.

Honestly I think "mind break" stuff is usually pretty fun but I don't like how it was used here. I kind of preferred how KitaKawa did this kind of relationship where the sub already had their own reasons to go along with whatever the dom wanted to do, even if they weren't really into it in the same way the dom was initially.

But, I also think a lot of elements in here would've worked better if this was a multichapter work and it had time to cook in the oven? I wasn't particularly sold on any of the emotions or motivations the characters had in this and it made everything feel pretty flat to me.

All the bullying aside, I was kind of disappointed that she kept saying punishment this, punishment that, but we never see her actually doing any punishing.

Right? Feels like all of the fun stuff got glazed over.

Who dresses like that at work? It looks like the marketing girl just got isekai-ed from a fantasy world. As stupid as it sounds, it kind of breaks the suspension of disbelief for me.

Might take a look at future chapters, I like the fact that MC works in collectibles, but not convinced yet.

Glad I wasn't the only one who thought her outfit looked like bad cosplay.

The tags had me scared but unrequited feelings for an older cousin is pretty tame.

Love a good gloomy introvert x popular extrovert pair. Especially love it when it's not the "loser" girl who needs the most support. "Popular girl secretly feels suffocated by her idyllic school life and needs an escape" isn't fresh but it definitely feels less played out than "Loner comes out of her shell with help from popular girl and learns how to make friends."

That last panel of Sendai at the end is peak, I regret ever doubting this artist.

Really loving the broad range of emotional expression in the art. Good mix of angst and hope so far.

Did not have Niji calling Remu an imposter to her face on my bingo card.

Nanase back on her bullshit...I don't know why I thought she'd have a different attitude after all the recent developments.

Everything has been peak so far, can't wait to see where this goes.

Really hope there's more to the breakup than "mom didn't approve" that would justify breaking up and lying to your partner "for their own good" cuz that's such a tired trope.

I think it's a good tag so people who are uncomfortable with the ambiguity can filter it out or be mindful of it instead of complaining about being blindsided in the comments. It's kind of obnoxious to be into this kind of thing and then have all the comments be debating the morality of consent on a work that's obviously catering to a specific BDSM fantasy that they just don't understand.

Cannot wait for this wizard lacrosse arc to be over with.

Natsume is continuing to treat Yuni like her trophy wife, forcing her into situations Yuni won't appreciate rather than trying to learn more about Yuni's likes/dislikes. Just take Yuni to the aquarium like a reasonable yuri protagonist. It shows Natsume is trying to change, but not really understanding or listening to Yuni about what Yuni wants. No wonder it feels bad to Yuni. Yuni herself continues to be a ball of possessive abandonment issues who wants other people to feel a void that can never be filled externally. That's relatable to me, so I can't hate Yuni despite how much of a mess she is.

Yeah, I think her actions here would've been more effective, say, ~15 chapters ago. Everything Natsume does is too little too late. She is still treating their relationship like it's a challenge to overcome. The trophy wife comparison feels apt.

Going to scream if Takara somehow finds a way to keep denying what's going on and shut down this confession. Literally everything about the moment is perfect just let it happen girl.

The issue they're having is that Kairi is prioritizing Hikaru's feelings and ignoring her own because she feels like Hikaru is too good for her and deserves better than a "disgusting person" like herself. Honestly it's a pretty accurate portrayal of someone with horrible self-esteem issues.

Yandere girl and her monster gf is a very fun premise but the execution feels kinda weak here overall. I guess Risa will slowly keep losing her humanity until Eko has complete control over her (just based off the art in the credits), but there's still a lot of interesting ways their relationship could develop.

Something terrible happened here...oh well glad it got removed.
