I have a questions for everyone here. Right now, as it stands, who is everyone's top pairing?

Ties are allowed, but only between 2 couples, not more than that. Mine are Haruka x Kanae, Honoka x Elisha

And between them, if I was forced to pick, Haruka x Kanae but only marginally so.

Haruka x Kanae for me too

Honoka & Elisha

Hmmm....she touched ayano's back....there is still hope!!!

But the confession will never happen, I think. Not in a normal way. The step from beiing brstest friends to lovers is a hard one, especially in the case of this airhead mihoshi!
Also I don't think,that she is actually dodging this love thing more her air- and happyheadness is just marking it as fun between two bestes friends. I mean,they became quiet close with the staring contest....

I'm dead, I sure am DED!!! Because that was heaven!! Tokino is kinda the true beautyqueen in this series. She got the eyes, the fasion, the rather eccentric charisma and cardigans worth more than my entire cabinet!

But what matters more.

NAO WTF?!

I mean, dear god ,WTF?!

THOSE WERE ABSURDLY PERVY AND SHOCKING FANTASIES!!

HRMPF......!!!
....
.....
.....I begin to love her more and more....

We're talking about somebody who has literally fantasized about stripping naked in the middle of class, aren't we?

Yep...Nao is one friggin interesting character for every psychologist. Don't get me wrong, it's not that she is ill or something. Quite the contrary. Interesting to know, how she got this desires, how she nutures them and what really REALLY is happening to her...hot damn. If I were a psychologist or someone analyising social behavior, this school would be a friggin playground!

Psychologist here! I find her interesting in the fact that she is very realistic for a depiction of a teen-ager with a paraphilia! But in general Kishi's depiction of the BDSM spectrum is quite realistic (especially if we think about how BDSM is usually depicted in manga).

Interesting to know actually. I mean, the BDSM stuff is kinky, but the way it's incorporated in ones every day life in subtle and not so subtle ways ((yes, I mean you, photo booth butt smacking jiggly wiggly scene!!)), it's quiet fascinating......human minds turned visual are deffo interesting.

Nao maybe is one of the characters with less chatacter development, but she makes up with her kinks. I'm dying to know, how this manifested and why shameful acts are her thing. Is it just a different type of masochism? Is it rebellion? Will she get closer with Yu and mari? Because this Triangle would be interesting,although mebbe not exactly compatible.

Nao would be just the side gimp

This is what I meant by realistic, in some ways. People who are into the BDSM community are extremely creative. This allows them to find kinkiness in almost everything. I'd be curious to know how she developed her kinky side, but usually fetishes/parafìphilias just emerge and are reinforced by operant conditioning. So it just "hpapens" to connect arousal to certain types of event and you actively seek those situations to get again those feelings.
Masochism and exhibitionism can have some common elements as they could not. It depends on the line of thoughts that the person has during the events.
I see no possibility of a triangle as a relationship with them.

Oh most definitely. While I'm not part of the active "doing things" part of the BDSM community, I have had a very similar experience to Nao in terms of experimentation. Not as outgoing, but certainly similar dreams and such.

I must say, that sensei has some wiiiild fantasies about this whole thing.
Ok,sensei got all wild stuff in this series,especially the heartshattering arc with shizuka.....this whole thing is killing me with outmost curiosity.....
Also I miss my two nerd girls ... And the geek girls....

Is it me or Mahiro and Mahiru are drawn more maturely?

They have couple's gatherings, trips and even pissing contests to determine whose love is more true.

When did this happen?? O_o

3 couples had a staring contest where they measured how long they can stare at each other without looking away. Longer the better. Ayano and Miyoshi won it easily and Miyoshi celebrated it with shouting "It is love!"

This was so fun to read back then. Now it is just frustrating.

It's not just you. But imho the most noteworthy thing is that they might be developing individualities. For a long time they've been like perfect clones and their loveydoveyness was built on that foundation, as they knew and understood each other even in the tiniest details. But since not long ago they started thinking and acting differently in minute ways in certain situations... and that might be a hint that their love is about to evolve.

Edit: this is illustrated well in that scene where Mahiro suddenly changes her hairstyle to a ponytail and Mahiru is stunned...... because, first, they don't match perfectly anymore, and, second, she finds the sudden difference between them really attractive!

It is a figure of speech. Not a literal contest.

Rather like how when people talk about "Cold War dick-measuring contests" they don't mean the POTUS and Soviet General Secretary literally unzipped and slapped 'em onto table on live TV :U

Well, LBJ might have.

Yeah, despite some think,there is still hope for idiot couple 1 to get things straight....clear. we don't want straight in this series...

Hello everyone! Unfortunately we are missing a translator... Is there anyone who could help us out? We can't leave this unfinished!

I'm down. Love this series.

I've done a fair bit of TL in the past and lived over there for a couple years.

Thank you so much! It would be great to have some help! You can contact me via discord Tsuki-chan#9085 or in our server https://discord.gg/4cc622J6!

Oh, so the orig translatior is lost in space for good?

man, I just can't get behind Mask x Kaoru, don't like Kaoru at all :/ mayoi is a great character and she deserves so much better than her.

Omg omg omg it's mask x kaoru omg omg
It's hilarious too :')))))
Im crying waahh

man, I just can't get behind Mask x Kaoru, don't like Kaoru at all :/ mayoi is a great character and she deserves so much better than her.

And yet it's a character like koaru who will be able to change mayoi and not an ordinary person or onibi who lives in the same parallel world and who only thinks fantasy. It is not necessary to have a twin type onibi for mask, considering its faculty to feel inferior, it would be in depression and permanent stress.
While Kaoru is reading and understanding the personalities of people and especially very calm, she has an aura that no one has.
Kaoru despite her recognized qualities of seduction, is very adult when it comes to talking about life, another of her qualities is to never put down a friend and to be very frank even if she doesn't like it.
She is a girl without filter, but far from being mean. They form an excellent duo and especially it is the most original couple! For me kaoru is the free electron of the manga, I love her and we can see the influence she has little by little on mask.

1) why does mayoi need to be changed? and a person without a filter like Kaoru is the worst person for someone who needs to be changed, cause they lack the tact to do things properly

2) where did I mention any specifics about who should or could be with mayoi? I just said I don't like Kaoru, due to her toxicity, personality and actions, and feel that Mayoi deserves someone better, das all. That someone can be a number of people or someone new, not only onibi as you assume for some reason.

3) armchair psychologist over here eh xD

Kaoru despite her recognized qualities of seduction, is very adult when it comes to talking about life, another of her qualities is to never put down a friend and to be very frank even if she doesn't like it.

"never put down a friend", lol have you actually read past chapters and how she's acted? how others (including mayoi) feel about her?

also lol at saying "recoginsed quality" about her seduction xD trying to downplay it, nah mate, her seduction personality is a bad quality about her (one of her many bad qualities, which is why a lot of people dislike the character), again, read the past chapters for why on that. Also her frankness lacks any tact, meaning it's not a good thing about her.

anyways your points about her maturity and such sounds like someone who can be a friend to mayoi, cool.

She is a girl without filter, but far from being mean.

uh, right... another attempt at downplaying one of her bad qualities. Btw, you do know what someone without a filter is usually thought of as right? hint: it's not good.

Now it might have been okay in this one chapter, and sometimes brutal honesty is needed, but most times it isn't okay or how it should be handled. People with no filter need to learn something called tact, something Kaoru needs to work on.

They form an excellent duo

completely disagree, but we clearly won't agree on anything about this especially after seeing your previous posts defending Kaoru. A lot of people don't like Kaoru, some do... agree to disagree is where I'm leaving this at cause I cba ever trying to debate hardcore fans of a character like Kaoru o7

so look, you can like Kaoru and all, not saying anything about that. Just calm down with the defense mate xD alright peace~

Noooooooooo XDD NOT THE MANDY MEMEEEEEE My eyes hahahaha it was inevitable I guess lo/ did they spoke in spanish or english in the raw?

Also wow, great dynamic these two have, watching Kaoru chasing Mayoi was so cuuuuteeee hahaha and she was so honest and caring, mask really needed to hear that, this will surely become a long lasting memory, a pillar for her career as mangaka.

Thank you so much for the translation!!

Speaking of little things, I noticed one small mistake in the drawing... In page 22, Kishi forgot to draw Mayoi's eyelashes in the left eye.

By the way, Onibi and Nao are my favorite characters but if they made a poll for the best character I would vote for Mayoi because she's precious.
