For those interested, the official English releases have some extras not included in the chapters here.
Volume 1 has a written short story about the birth of chocolate (in Rey's perspective)
Volume 2 has an omake with Rey and Claire in the Rain and a written short story about Claire and Relaire getting closer in Claire's perspective)

Wasn’t expecting the story to go in this direction. I thought it was just gonna be Rei trying to get Claire to fall in love with her, kinda like a slice of life. It’s interesting that they decided to show more of the world including the class difference and fighting between them. Can’t wait to see how this will end.

This arc is what made me fell in love with lady claire's character, then louie's. The way she handled the situation and didn't put the blame on others and instead of herself. The way Inori built up her character is truly wonderful. From being a tsundere to someone with a deep personality. So if I am Rei, I'd definitely fall in love with this person.

I mean even if the guy's wand was messed with he still pointed it at another student so he's still at fault.

Yuri incest: I dig
Het incest: Imma pretend I didn't see that

Seriously tho, I didn't expect het incest in a serious story. Guess I really should ignore it and treat like it never happens

That is two very different things and makes no sense.

Sorry to hear that me being uncomfortable with incest upset you?

I kinda don't like this whole rebellion thing being caused by some random third party and not, y'know, an organic result of a genuine class conscious taking form.

...buuut then there's implied incest so I'd say that makes up for it. Only wish we got to see more of it

The difference between being gay and being incestuous is that someone who loves their sibling can actually just love someone else. A gay person doesn't have a choice.
Although that does call to question what the absolute ethical judgment on bisexual people is but for the sake of brevity people should be allowed to exist as they are

That said, a lot of people are uncomfortable with incest for very good reasons (CSA among them). While I personally don't see love between siblings (in the very rare case it's reciprocal and stuff) as a moral failure, it's fair to let people be squicked.

Edit: the het siblings show up a few more times later but they barely have any screentime once the empire arc starts. And it makes sense that there's incest since a main component of the story is forbidden love. I'm just thankful Inori has the sense not to put in pedophile apologia - people can enjoy whatever in their goofy porn as long as it's goofy and they keep it away from me, but trying to seriously justify it as a main literary theme is ???

So what started out as a cute shoujo-ai ditty has now turned into some convoluted story about revolution shenanigans....

Nope, not interested. Dropped.

Seeing Lene's turn in manga form is even more heartbreaking. Cant imagine seeing the rest.

Well this got really convoluted all of a sudden...
Ignoring the thing that grabbed everyone's attention, what is even Claire talking about at the end? I get being sad for not treating her maid better but how does it imply that them being arrested is her fault? :P
Also, why have some complicated plan of blackmailing this guy so he releases a monster, when the bad guy clearly can enter the academy like he owns the place, and can presumably release the monster by himself? (Although I get that there may be reasons for that that haven't been stated yet).

Edit: also I'm fucking blind, I only noticed on the second reread that Lene holds up the knife to Claire, I was wondering why was she even arrested at the end

OK homophobe. Being gay has nothing to do with wanting to fuck your siblings. Homosexuality isn't a perversion, unlike incest.

Hyped for the fact that finally something that wasn't in the game is showing up, I like it more when protagonists don't know what's happening and what's gonna happen next.

I would like to start reading the novels soon. Could somebody tell me where we are regarding the novels? The manga is currently adapting the second volume?

I would like to read them from the start, but I'm still curious to know where we are regarding the manga adaptation!

The manga is about to finish the first volume of the Light Novel (which covers the first three arcs of the Web Novel).

I mean, things happening so fast make more sense when someone is pocking the hornet nest and organizing it.

Yeah, but I wasn't expecting that so I'm not very disappointed.
