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.

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.

I kinda wanted to see them kiss ngl

Honestly I probably would've settled for that even. I feel like I was just served a nothingburger after nearly 2 volumes of teasing and buildup.

Kinda felt like this one was wrapped up a little too neatly. I would've liked it if they had at least one really messy sexual encounter before getting their feelings sorted.

I do feel bad for Ema, but she's really putting Takara into an awful situation here. At this point she has all but said "I want to leave this life behind and elope with you," but they both know that's something Ema has to do on her own and she just does not have the confidence to be true to herself, or true to Takara even. And maybe the only reason Ema hasn't taken a step forward yet is because she's afraid that Takara will just abandon her again the moment things get too real for her, just like when they were kids.

But, how is Takara supposed to prove that to her without becoming a homewrecker? Like sure, she could've let Ema kiss her and officially confirm it's mutual, but that doesn't necessarily mean that would give Ema the courage to leave Hario. They could be stuck having an affair for who knows how long and I doubt Takara could handle the guilt or keep up the charade of just being best friends, girl is awful at hiding her feelings.

I always sort of read it as one of those situations where the sister tried seducing the girlfriend to get her away from her brother because she didn't want him dating a skank. Except it backfired and she ended up being seduced herself and now they're stuck pretending this is still about the brother because the sister has too much pride and the gf enjoys goading her too much.

The real mistake was letting her students be so casual with her at the start of the year. Now she's stuck in a situation where she's going to be villainized no matter what she does, which will probably continue to snowball until her girlfriend breaks up with her and/or she's forced to transfer to a different school to start over. Or maybe she'll learn how to put her foot down and set better boundaries with her students. May or may not help at this point.
