Back already!

Aww, no ultraviolence... I thought the bully would be butchered and her mangled remains fed to the crows. Instead, she only received psychological damage. Boo!

That would upset Todakoro-san so it wasn't on the table in the first place.

My guess is that Tadokoro forgives her and then Kirigaya falls for her angelic smile and mercy.

She's going to make Nikaidou forgive the bully. Nikaidou is going to love Tadokoro even more for it and the bully is going to ship them so hard she's gonna get a nosebleed.

Did I just see someone being executed?

With her crazy eyes, this reminded me of Danganronpa style executions, ha.

It's like a wish-fulfillment doujin parody of Tomoko and Asuka, with all the character flaws filed off.

Reading this feels like reading a deviantart or tumblr fanfic. Tadakoro is the author self insert to the point where she's also an artist and Nikaidou is the author's "ideal lover" which is a bland mary sue that solves all of Tadakoro's (the author's) problems simply by existing. This wasn't a big deal during the SoL chapters but once an actual antagonist (bully-san) appears it really becomes obvious how ridiculous these characters are. I'm 99% sure that the author was also bullied during highschool days and this 'bully saga' is her imagining how better her life would be if a 'Nikaidou' exists back then to stop her bullying problem (and all her other problems).

I'm sure she's just going to get a stern talking to.
One that leaves her on her knees, having seizures, and in need of a change of underwear.

Well, not quite, but still pretty close, shadesan.

Maybe because it's just for pure enjoyment and wish fulfillment? It's not meant to be taken seriously. And the main character interactions are cute.

Tadokoro is a nice girl, not an Angel Character. There's a big difference, you know.

She loves Nikaidou, she's willing to do any self-sacrifice for Nikaidou, but she doesn't give a shit about Kirigaya.

Tadokoro & Nikaidou prolly forgot Kirigaya even exists 1 minute after leaving her behind.

Well I very much liked this resolution. Quite a few bullies in anime get away with everything so it's wonderful to see one that doesn't.

Yes, indeed. Quoting from the comments for the previous chapter:

"Tadokoro-san" is well liked by the crowd here, but for a short 4-page chapter to see such a massive and enthusiastic reaction in such a short time... well, I do think it's a first.

I surmise it has to do with the straightforwardness and unpretentiousness of the currently developing plot. A cute, sweet, helpless heroine everybody likes. A villain with a heart black as pitch who torments her. A hero who is the very image of a knight in shining armor who arrives just in time to save the damsel and mete out punishment to the miscreant. It has a charming simplicity it's difficult not to enjoy. v^_^v

The only thing I'd quibble with is the "just in time" part, which is technically true, but one of the joys of this one is that you do have the chapter-end cliffhanger but there's no ramping up the tension or stretching things out--we barely have a chance to think, "Oh no, what will happen if Nikaidou ever discovers that a bully is--" when BAM!, Nikaidou is back, bully is a puddle of villainous goo.

This is great just as a bit of an antidote to all those stories that milk the suspense for every single plot development--I'd call it a parody except for its obvious whole-hearted sincerity.

For some reason i hope kirigaya will have some kind of romantic relationship with future character.

You're quite right. In a previous post, a little while ago, Blank Mage put it very nicely:

This series doesn't waste any time, man. It's like every time the chapter ends, you think 'man, I really hope-' BAM next chapter, it happened, no one's got time for that will-they-won't-they shit, we're on the CLOCK.

"Tadakoro is cute. I hope she wins over Sakur-" - Already mutual.
"They really like each other, maybe they-" - They're spending time alone together.
"Snap, at this rate they might as w-" - Both confess.
"Shit, this is going fast, but now what's going to come bet-" - Bullying!
"What a bitch, I hope Sakur-" - Instant karma.

They aren't even hitting tropes, they just distilled and concentrated the yuri into a solid block to bludgeon you in the face with adorable feels and a stable relationship built on shared interests.

It ain't surprising that "Tadokoro-san" is so very popular. Suspense is all well and good, but there's genuine excitement in moving forward at this sort of intense pace.

^ I had a feeling I was echoing somebody. It was also a reaction to just watching a Kdrama, which I do enjoy, but the "plot point introduced that can't possibly be resolved sooner than 6 episodes from now" thing can get kind of wearing--I get enough creepy suspense from the real world these days.

A big bad no-shit motherfucker solving problems right now is just what I'm looking for.

EDIT: Props also to Blank Mage for some fine writing in the quoted post.
