Chapter 12.Menhera is dead forever. Viva fluffy yuri.
Apparently this is the full chapter 12, no halves.
Dumb onee-sama.
Alright, put down the pitchforks and pack it up, also give that anon back her rolling pin (or what's left of it). We'll meet back up same time tomorrow for Aizawa.
>>283045800I always thought tarp is something you use to cover.
>>283045800Observe the virgin Sumichan, who slouches forward when her oneesama touches her chest, and the Stacy Baruyo, who proudly puffs it out when her imouto reciprocates.
I was starting to think tomorrow would never come
>>283045832They're using it to cover wet or muddy ground.
>making the mangaka cryNice "fans". You should be ashamed of yourself.
Hang on this sounds kinda gay...
>>283045916No, I mean to cover the top. Or cover a car or something, that's what I always thought it was.
>>283045924Don’t you get it? Those tears will water the flowers that bloom in days of yore
>>283045924She will use her tears as fuel for her menhera fantasies. And I bought the book anyways.
Did you know? Haruyo's wingspan is as wide as Sumi-chan is tall.
>under the coat
>>283045957It's covering the top of the ground.
>>283046008Uuuuooooh censored yaoi hands erotic
Can't believe this makes my heart flip.
>>283046008>Awwwww yeah that’s the good stuff
>>283045907>dropping the big ずっと一緒に this earlyHow foolish or brave.
Surely nothing bad will happen to that smile.Given this was a short chapter it's probably a breather before the next arc.https://mega.nz/folder/SqoEGRrY#SDVv5jKw1zKuJpLDAyp0mgI'm working on Aizawa 29+30 next. Dorothy's taking another break to plan volume 6 but I'll try to get them out in the next week? I want to do something for Halloween too if I have time.Don't know when I'll get Sylph's extras done but they weren't as long as last time.
>>283045850>I dream of being like thatNo, Haruyo. Don't come to the dark side.
>>283046201Thanks!Wish the chapter was longer though. But dunno what else they should put it a second half.Also that last panel reminds me of ch9's last panel.
Dumping the volume 1 extras now. I added the "*After chapter 1" since I've learned not to trust readers' memories, but I guess the "after" part is kind of confusing in some cases. I'd never make an addition like that back when I started but I've gotten looser as a scanlator. This is already an altered format, reading the extras on their own instead of paired with the chapter, so the way I see it it's just another consideration. To be honest I don't really like the "intended" volume reading, since extras change the tone after a chapter. But that's also not exactly the "canon" format if reading monthly. In a way they all change the experience slightly. Just something I think about.
I just purchased an untranslated book for the first time in my 25 years of reading manga. Crying on social media works.
>>283045956They forgot to say "no homo"
>>283046326How about you send a pic to the author and also say you got to know it because of the translation
>>283045819I hope you two end up juuuust like your senpais
I miss Momo.
>>283046201Same energy.
>>283046201Thank you! Wish we will see more dates.
>>283046326I agree with >>283046365 She uses bluesky, just make a throwaway account.https://bsky.app/profile/nishi55.bsky.social
>>283046428>Kuwa is the only one who signs V at the mouth with palm inwardHmmmm.....
>>283046365Probably. Though If I do, I won't mention the scanlation at all. I don't think nips get it. They're just against piracy by default.
>>283046447Personally I seriously advise against doing that. I just don't think she could take it well.
>>283046326same. Preordered volume 2 as well
>>283046485Someone already did it in a previous "tweet".>>283046478Should at least mention you're an international fan.
>>283046008>she came
>>283046034>the jacket sliding offoh god it's so suggestive
And that's all.
>>283046485Seconded, gaijin should just keep quiet.
>>283046596Posting your purchase is innofensive, if anything it would help her opinion of gaijins.Just don't mention pirating/unnoficial uploads.
The author was crying?
>>283046717Noighd keeps sending her pics of the translations and saying he is dedicating his life so she won't make a penny from her hard work is what I heard and honestly sounds like something he would do
>>283046717Happened a couple days ago, author made a series of posts, not really condemning but more on the emotional side.
>>283046645Yeah I agree.
>>283046867I really want to have empathy and I see how not getting the engagement in the place where it matters (on the surface) is frustrating.But how does the mind of someone work to be frustrated its being translated, meaning more people can enjoy it that otherwise wouldn't?Its alread available for free, so no money is lost. The translation readers obviously cannot read the original instead either.It just makes no sense.
>>283046852I heard Noighd went to Japan and started stalking her. They say he’s been hiring different JKs to sexually harass her, and now he’s got this whole stash of photos piling up, absolutely insane.
>>283047398I think in their mind, piracy=bad. That's just it. Feelings can be irrational. And this artist strikes me as someone who is highly emotional to begin with.
>>283046034Since the chapter came out, I've been wondering what Asumi dropping her coat here is supposed to show.Is she lowering her guard, or is she shying away from being hugged under the coat because it would feel more intimate?
>>283047573The text box seems to affirm the former interpretation. Baruyo is peeling away the shell Kasumi has built around herself. She's dressing up her love as a game of pretend based on a fictional book, but the feelings are real.
>>283046867She is making one valid point, people could and should visit the official site to go through the chapter and leave a like on release. To show the engagement, which would help her.
>>283047677I just couldn't shake off the thought how much warmer it would be to do it with the cloak, but you're probably right.Maybe cuddling under a blanket one day instead.
>>283045866onee-sama>>283045980onee-chan
>>283046867Hope she's not too hung up about it.
It's so fucking cute.
>>283045924>making the mangaka cryWhat happened?
>>283046867Fan scanlations/translations are so normalized these days (except in Japan), people kind of forget they're piracy.
>>283048209>(except in Japan)Japs have fan translations too, just of foreign stuff like k dramas. The main reason its more normalised, is because 90% of the manga market (in number of titles) outside of japan relies on it to some degree or another.The rest of the world isn't xenophobic to the point of financial ruin.
>>283046125>>283046146>Doesn't say it back
>Another yurisloppass
>>283048209People make too much of the opinions of individual mangaka. Her posts shows she is frustrated with how the manga is doing and thinks "damn, if only these people would show up in engagement metrics". Thats it. There is no special japanese attitude to it.Just as many authors and artists embraced fan translations as you find those being a little menhara about them.
>>283046201Why is her smile somewhere between cheeky and uncomfortable?
>>283048443You're either a moron, ignorant, or in denial. Of course she wouldn't directly denounce fan translations.>>283048345Whenever I see people justifying fan translations, they always pull the convenience/exposure argument or "why not set up a Patreon" argument. Even worse, people blame the authors for not "getting with the times" while pirating their shit anyway. The West and the world to a large extent have been thoroughly jewed that jewing others is only bad if you're on the receiving end of it. Everything has to follow the Jewish, Chink, and shitskin thieving mentality. Maybe that's why subscription services are getting worse these days. The Jewish elites know that if they'd get jewed themselves and replaced if they ever relaxed.
>>283048912>Of course she wouldn't directly denounce fan translations.She did pretty directly though
>>283046008whats up with straight women and gigantism with their partner while they themselves are small cute girls I just don't get it
>>283045785Least trustworthy lesbian
>>283045850!?
>>283046008Ready for liftoff!!!
>>283046146Hey, this is library
>>283046201Is it normal procedure to pick lice in class though?
>>283046326I'm bulk buying at the end of the month. Hope there's still some vol 1's around by then
>>283046867Spoonfeed me the like button
>>283048443It's a hard topic. Maybe if you approach them before starting and asking how they think, it'd be one think, but once it's out there, best not bring it up and embrace the tradition of a thankless worker.
I'll be honest bros...I don't trust a straight het woman menhera author doing yuri justice I'm joking igarashi-sensei you are doing fine, just put more sexuality, your sensuality is great
>>283046105>>283046125This makes my heart melt but I can’t help but feel slightly concerned that Kasumi never actually says “I love you” back
>>283049479https://comic-walker.com/detail/KC_006092_S/episodes/KC_0060920001600011_E?episodeType=firstScroll to page 24 of the chapter and click the heart.
>>283049589Kasumi does say 好き here.
>>283049589more suspiciously she doesn't hug her back here >>283046034 and although it looks like a touching scene, the way both of them are posed it looks like haruyo is crying on kasumi like she's DEAD or somethingalso there is crucifixion imagery here >>283046008
>>283049589Its clear that Kasumi is going to continue being the one reluctant to embrace the real-ness of their feelings. She is needy for it and at the same time she fears it.
>>283049691>the way both of them are posed it looks like haruyo is crying on kasumi like she's DEAD or somethingI feel like this might be overinterpeting it. It looks to me like Kasumi is surrendering to it. Which isn't good on its own, mind.
>>283049691Take your meds
>>283049377Macchi knows Kuwa is the class lesbian (unaware of Kasumi's affairs), so she is doing so as a sign of respect.
>>283049732whats wrong with surrendering to love
>>283049788You have to be proactive, too, else your partner will think you're abandoning her like Mizuki.
>>283045924So what happened with the mangaka?
>>283049788Its a bit of a problem when she isn't embracing it, no?
>>283049691Kasumi died for noighd's piracy sins.
>>283049899you're not implying that kasumi...isn't really into paruyo...are you...?
>>283050301She obviously is, but she clearly has issues holding her back on being happy
>>283049691It looks like she’s so overwhelmed by Haruyo reaching beneath her coat to hug her closer that it completely fried her brain in that moment
>>283050301No, and that was never the problem with Sayori in the first place. Sayori was passive and dishonest which caused Mizuki to doubt her love for her. The love is real but lack of expression plants a seed of doubt.
>>283046201How many Aizawamorrows? Surely not more than 2 for chapter 29, no?
>>283048092>>283049908She discovered the fan translation.
>>283050816I too would be deathly afraid if I discovered noighd was translating my manga.
>>283050816Not sure I'll ever understand author melties over fan TL
>>283050816That's some thin skin.
How long until they get to the murder mystery lesbian cult part of the manga?
By visiting the comicwalker site and not pushing for a local translation you advance the death of physical media
>>283051463Do you know how much yuri is lost because it was only ever released physically in some doujin event? I 'crave' the death of physical media. my home library nonwithstanding.
>>283050938It's not based in logic, but since their livelihood is at stake, some amount of frustration is understandable.
>>283050938She seems like a emotional person, and to me it really just reads to me like a request to go to the official side as well. To show people like it.Not much of a melty.
>>283050938She's just an actual menhera
Shame about the translation drama overshadowing the cutest chapter.>>283050938She doesn't even outright say "don't read the unauthorized translation" (although she probably thinks it), she just asks you to also skim the raw chapter >>283049640 so that she actually gets compensated for giving you something to read.
>>283045934Kasumi still using the make-belief as a shield against her own feelings is so sad. She's going to break Paruyos heart sooner or later. The crazy little menhara.
Now that the dust as settled, we can all agree Sayori best girl (on account of having the most severe case of menhera), no?
>>283046105This is the cutest part
>>283053463No and its not even close >>283046105
>>283046146The beast almost got unleashed, imagine what'll happen when they have a study session at home.
>>283046201>Surely nothing bad will happen to that smile.I trust Igarashi. She knows Kasumi is fragile, she wouldn't break her.
>>283045746Is this Haruyo, Paruyo, or Baruyo?
>>283045800年下の余裕
>>283053729バ
>>283053729Faruyo.
>>283053976On the contrary, that's the nearest 'ruyo.
>>283045956Dangerously smug Kasumin, quick someone bring out the cat bowl.
>>283053463Nobody can top Haruyo
>>283053559Kasumi's menhera is soft and weak. She just cries ineffectually instead of exploding.>>283054060She's not even a menhera; she has no defense against a boxcutter.
>>283054252Turns out menhera and best girl are actually different words with different meanings.
>>283054252>She's not even a menheraThat’s why she’s best girl. She’s a pure beacon of love and Kasumi cuddles
>>283054252>she has no defense against a boxcutter.Have you seen her yaoi hands?
>>283047398The japanese have been brainwashed to hate piracy
>Igarashi's statement got reposted on mangadex>3 paragraph reply in SpanishI was very surprised it was well thought out and considerate rather than incoherent rage.
>>283049640I want to leave this message to her but going by google translate, they didn't use the word gaijin so I am wondering if this is correct: 外国人に死を
>>283045850spooky
>>283054472Yes, but there is a correlation, especially in a menhera manga wherein major characters are expected to be menhera.>>283054553We'll see how that shakes out as Kasumi's menhera unravels itself in front if her.>>283054646That just makes her tendons a bigger target.
>>283055015外国人 is just a more polite way of saying 外人, think of it like negro and nigger, but please don't harass Igarashi-sensei I doubt she'd take it well.
>>283046008>underneath the jacket hugThis has to be on purpose. She's so lewd!
>>283046406>soccer in clubIs this really the only "cool" thing Jap girls can think of? Every shoujo brother character always does soccer
>>283055209This, she is an emotional person, harassing her will only get her to feel worse, just give a heart to the raw.
It's good because this is written by a woman for women. Yuri for women!
>>283046201You know their little roleplay is so good I actually keep forgetting their actual ages, surprises me whenever it comes up
>>283046326I'll probably get it too; I already bought the Curtain Call volumes a while back, may as well buy this as well
>>283055015Drop the 2nd kanji and you have gaijin.>>283055209It's not nearly as rude as that.
>>283053976>>283054021NearuyoFaruyoWherever you Aruyo
>>283049679Between that and this chapter I can finally breathe easy with my soft TL of the confession in 8. These were clearly the first romantic "love" for both.Kind of funny how they're both one-sided admissions, but their relationship is making gay baby steps. I don't think it's a bad sign. Haruyo may get insecure over Kasumi's hesitance but she doesn't seem like an overthinker about it. Case in point is Haruyo casually slipping under Kasumi's coat while Kasumi had a whole inner monologue about fighting that same desire.>>283053561Haruyo is really walking on tiptoes around Sumi-chan after the last incident so if anything I think she'd be the one shocked if Kasumi ever unleashed herself. Though I doubt we'd ever go full Yagakimi; no way Kasumi can top.>>283050791I'll likely work back and forth so 29 might be a while but 30 would be soon after.The Honda vs Masaki arc is over and I'm impressed how neatly it closes (despite leaving room for them in the future) while smoothly setting up the next arc (way more main plot focused). Dorothy said she felt a little awkward with how long HvM ran; she typically plans arcs in 3 chapter sets and this was roughly 11. Though she did say she was trying to slow down once the manga wasn't at high risk of axe. I'm sure she got plenty feedback vol3 was dumping things too fast. And I loved the end to 3 but I get it. The revelations each volume have gotten quieter, though maybe that's just me having a stronger grasp of the plot. I feel so out of touch with Aizawa readers.On the end of volume - of course I want to talk about it but I don't want to spoil much. There's 3 reveals, the most expected being Nagi, but nothing super crazy except maybe that Nagi's attachment to Aizawa goes deeper than anyone expected.
I will be appropriating this panel.
>>283055859Noighd please weigh in on >>283053463 before anons start stabbing each other.
This is my favorite yuri manga I'm reading right now.It's also funny how totally oblivious Paruyo is to the actual nature of their senpai's relationship. And I don't just mean the darker parts but how she thinks them being together is like "a sleepover" and she clearly doesn't realize they're lesbians.
>>283054060Haruyo more like Sub-paruyo.
>>283045956>>283046008It's this kind of shit that makes Baruyo a natural born alpha dyke.
>>283046008>that look of surprise morphing into helpless resignation and complete unfettered bliss
So what do you think the next conflict is gonna be? Hayuro gets confessed to by another girl? Kasumi's friends find out about her relationship? First kiss?
>>283055209i'm not harassing her I am agreeing with her, with how little niggertry there is in japanese society, having to have your work be viewed by lesser masses is appalling
>>283056953>I'm agreeing with her>makes the exact opposite point Igarashi made

>kasumi tricks domruyo into reading lesbian erotica
>>283057210She doesn't even have to go that far. Sumichan will ask Baruyo to cuddle with her (platonically, the bed has no implications), and Baruyo's yaoi hands will make her inadvertently climax before a single piece of clothing comes off.
>>283056894Cops and Robbers arc.
>>283056894Kasumi’s friends finding out seems likely, or at least getting suspiciousNow that they’re studying together I don’t know which would be the crazier setup, Kasumi bringing a younger girl to her house or Haruyo bringing Kasumi to her big ass apartment
igarashi's first yuri manga is pretty good so far
>>283046201Thank you for taking the hit and carrying on with translations. Honestly, I still didn't catch up with Sylph after the piracy controversy, even though I bought two volumes and a subscription for a while. Accessible translations are that important for reader retention.
>>283056059I'd say Mizuki's menhera levels are higher, on account of her instability and impulsiveness. Though Sayori is the most interesting character to me right now (*as in viewing her as a complete character in this exact moment without regard for future growth or reveals). She's the most unhinged, but in calm and collected way. It's innate while Mizuki's is instilled — we're never given reason for it. Sayori's pathetically passive rebellious spirit is glad to ignite at any opportunity, but she must be given that opportunity. She is conscientious of others while being completely skewed. But it's hard to say if her sympathies are an ethical dilemma or indulgence+conflict avoidance.If you're the "us" in her us vs them, Sayori's likely completely trustworthy. I don't think she'd be happy for HaruKasu to find out about her dark side or emulate them, more so she takes pride in being their guide through the shallow end. She might have left the roses as clues to like individuals but she firmly keeps her secrets because she delights on being "on the inside." They're something shared carefully due to the intimate excitement of secrecy, not like Kasumi where her secrets are guarded by pain.She's not a bad person™ because she has no desire to harm others. Her game of "make believe" is that self-soothing sense of superiority (Class S being just one game they played and discarded, while it forms the whole backbone of our leads' relationship even now as you see them wanting to continue past school). She's never malicious. But Sayori clearly clashes with the societal standard. Her morals warped enough to floor it on scarification so long as it's an expression of love. Reinforcing a theme of breaking norms and not suffering for it so long as you hold onto that one person who gets you.Plus the twisting perception of her these past chapters was fun. I dunno I like mentally ill misfits.
>>283046867She sounds moe, I will buy her manga.
>>283055015Say 海外ファン if you ever do something like this, but you really shouldn't pour oil on fire in this case. I even talked to a mangaka for long enough on his blog without bringing up anything that when I said I'm from overseas one time, I think he responded thinking I'm a Japanese living overseas
>>283058006Oh boy, an excuse to longpost about Sayori's mental malfunction again. If you refer to menhera as an archetype, then yes, Mizuki fits the bill better, but as you say, Sayori is more unhinged despite her more apparently functional demeanor. Mizuki is understandably erratic; Sayori is incomprehensibly twisted. I think you pose an interesting question: Sayori seems to have a perfectly normal relationship with her peers. Her relationship with the mains seems perfectly well-intentioned, if only because they fall on her side of the line. As for the unenlightened masses, is Sayori's apparent lack of maliciousness a product of genuine decency, or simply her abundant cowardice keeping her in check? Is her internally delivered animosity purely childish rivalry, or genuine animosity?If Mizuki gave her that sickly sweet assurance that her deep-seated resentment was justified, and to simply let those feelings out instead of bottling them up, what then? Granted, I would expect such a hypothetical to be the product of an emotional outburst, as opposed to some premeditated scheme. I'm genuinely curious how far Sayori would go, how much she truly buys into the line she's drawn.Truthfully, I don't expect the story to feature her interacting with minor characters enough to explore that answer fully. Not that I mind; really this is all just a fun tangent of speculation largely irrelevant to the main story.
Since this is a full chapter, are we going to wait a full month for the next one?
>>283047398Just learn Japanese instead of shitposting on 4chan.
>>283061150Yes, 30 full morrows.
>>283061150The tank is coming out in a week, maybe there will be some volume extras to keep us sated.
>>283062690Remember to post your proof of purchase so the mangaka will hate foreigners less.
>>283045746You're not tricking me. I remain vigilant.
It's on dex so surely Noighd got permission from the original creator to upload it
This is the most I can do. Hopefully it's enough to support the author.
>>283064155Rate it
>>283064155Preorder volume 2 or Igarashi pulls out the box cutter.
>>283064166Does that do much? I never rate the things I read.>>283064308I'll have to wait until it's released, pre-ordering only works with credit cards and I pay using PayPal.
>rating stuff>liking postsyeah no I'm sticking to buying a copy
>>283046365>>283046447It's going to be obvious you read the scanlation if you're an obvious dekinai anyway. Zero need to mention it, Japanese are very used to reading the implied between the lines.
Next chapter is so far away...I suppose we're jumping into the next part of the letter plot?
wouldn't it be funny if igarashi refuses to make another chapter if her stuff keeps being illegally translated
>>283066611That's what editors are for.
>>283055859>Nagiwho??
>>283066966Something I've thought about is why don't her editor or whatever setup and manage her twitter account for her.She doesn't need to deal with it and all and it'll basically just repost her sketches and whatever advertising/promo.
>>283067373If she just abandoned Twitter for mental health reasons, that's probably what they'd do. Since that isn't happening, that's just further indication that she's ideologically against using it, likely because AI spook stories, maybe with a dash of Elon Bad.
Something to note in this chapter is remember back to Kasumi's backstory, about that thing about cram school or whatever and studying to get into school. Then her friend killed herself from... whatever, I can't remember.Now she enjoys studying to teach Haruyo.She's healing I guess.
>>283068212>her friend killed herself from.Unable to get into her first choice school. Kasumi didn't either.
>>283068262Thanks. I was thinking stress or something but I cba to check until it becomes relevant again.I did vaguely remember the Kasumi part at least.
>>283068212Hopefully she doesn't get too torn up about it when Haruyo fails to get into her college.
>>283068556Well, at least they could compromise like their senpais did.They have an example to follow, and Haruyo is willing to talk things out before everything goes to shit unlike the other idiots.Well... Except the time she ghosted Kasumi, but nobody's perfect.
This thread made me start reading the manga, if I like it I will buy the volumes.
What model of boxcutter does the mangaka use? Asking for a friend.
>>283068666She made a promise and I trust her to keep it, Satan.
>>283069560If you have a bluesky account she posted it before.
>>283060057I did question my definition of menhera - settling on it being more of a "crippling injury" than aspect of someone's born nature, along with their disposition towards doing harm. If they aren't a threat to themselves or others, emotionally, physically, or however else, I hesitate to call them psycho just because they were born different. Sayori is highly functional. She can get good grades, navigates social situations smoothly, and could likely go her whole life bottling up her crazy. But her perspective will always be warped (like most talented artists) and she's simply good at masking. Even when pushed I doubt Sayori could harm others. It's tied into something special with Mizuki; she was allowing herself to be hurt from the moment the knife came out.Sadly I get the feeling the senpais story is done. They might pop in to offer guidance but I don't think we're going to see them act the focus in any dilemma that reveals more of their character. I posited the manga might take an anthology approach, like AnoKiss, but I don't want that to be true only because I think the current cast is so strong. Then again nothing's stopping Igarashi from introducing equally great characters.>>283067314The ghost haunting De:Lphinus, who I nicknamed "Mizu" because of the Sailor Moon theory that hinted at a forgotten 5th idol member half the manga ago. And her name is Mizushiro Nagi, chapter 30's title being another Sailor Moon reference. She has ghost-seeing fuzzy irises too. To make it more confusing in the flashback she says she's secretly related to Aizawa. I don't think we're anywhere near solving Nagi yet but the manga is ready to start directly addressing her.>>283069560https://bsky.app/profile/nishi55.bsky.social/post/3lzsws7wzsc2i30度黒刃, specifically from Sekaido in Shinjuku.
>>283070349I wouldn't say menhera is necessarily a nurture versus nature thing, or a product of trauma. In terms of disposition towards harm, that's definitely in Mizuki's court. She's far too reserved to resort to violence on her own impulses. I don't think she viewed scarring Mizuki in return as a punishment in kind or eye-for-an-eye, rather, she felt the laceration was if anything a positive experience for her, and she wanted the same for Mizuki. It was, after all, an act of love, and she did need to be better about reciprocating. Going by Mizuki's reactions after the fact, it seems she agrees. Rather than regret, they both accept that they deviate far from the norm. My answer to who's the more crazy: the crazy or the crazy who follows her, is the latter. Mizuki at least had a moment of good sense to turn herself in and get a restraining order; Sayori is the one who ultimately reframed the whole incident as something good and necessary for their relationship. In general, I suppose I find deranged logic to be more crazy than irrational emotionality.Like you said, it's a moot point, but I still have to wonder if Mizuki really had a problem with one classmate in particular, and decided a boxcutter was the solution once again, where would Sayori stand on the matter, and whether what holds her back would be cowardice or decency. Admittedly even if the senpai were still in a position to be engaging in such dilemmas, it would be a significant step darker in tone even relative to the existing state of the manga. You're probably right, but the writing has left too much fertile soil for the seed of doubt for me to simply accept that Sayori is a decent albeit crazy person unequivocally, especially because she's so good at faking normalcy.
>>283071412>In general, I suppose I find deranged logic to be more crazy than irrational emotionality.Yeah. Practically speaking people can do crazy things when they break. That's... normal.Sayori otoh, did that in cold blood.
>>283068212last night I had a thought. what if all the death imagery is because kasumi secretly killed her friend and ono senpai and sayori was hinting at that darkness

>>283075599Baruyo is on the case.
>>283075599Kasumi is eventually going to have to confront her self loathing. Even when it’s obvious she’s in love with Haruyo she has to make her be the one to say it because deep down she doesn’t think she deserves to feel this happy or ask for the things that would make her happy
>>283070349I for one want more Mizuki than anything else.
>>283046201Thank you for posting.

Considering the lack of replies in this thread, is it safe to say menhera is significantly more popular than fluff?
>>283077067Mizuki is pretty sexy
>>283080285Practically speaking there just isn't much to discuss this chapter.
>>283080285People don't want to notice the obvious red flags in Sumi and Paruyo's relationship.
>>283056894Weren't they gonna go look for that senpai that read the original letter's second page that will probably have some ominous and edgy message?
>>283080506Haruyo is going to be so sad when Kasumi dumps her...
>>283080994That would be her start of darkness.
>>283080533>the original letter's second page that will probably have some ominous and edgy message?It'll say ur a faget and send Sumi-chan into spiraling depression unable to cope.
>>283080994The other way around. Haruyo is a genki retard gooner that still thinks they're just besties LARPING while Sumichan furiously masturbates every night thinking of her oneesama.
>>283081453I can't wait till one of her friends tells her she's hanging out with a faggot and paruyo's christian ass will start freaking out
>>283080331>t. Sayori.
>>283081453Kasumi is going to kiss Haruyo first, I can feel itand after Haruyo’s initial freak out she’s going to enter onee-sama mode and top her
>>283080506On the contrary, they're pretty well documented and discussed in these threads.
>>283082712I need conflict. I need Kasumi to kiss Haruyo and maybe even grope her but Haruyo freaks out and it's too much for her.
>>283083006Paruyo is the one more touchy feely though. I can't imagine Kasumi initiate a kiss the way she is now.
>>283083542Kasumi is older and hornier.
>>283083542That’s what will bring on the conflict. Kasumi is going to cave and break their “roles” by being the more forward one, then she’s going to shrink again thinking she fucked up when Haruyo gets overwhelmed. Then Haruyo is going to get some more brotherly advice on how to handle her relationship and go back to correct Sumi-chan, lovingly of course.
>>283083615Yes but she's very repressed and feels guilty for wanting physical intimacy.

>>283091858Sakuchan is derived from Sakuragawa.Ochan is derived from Ooe.

Has the artist posted anything from her last outburst? Or the evil gaijin made her cry again?

>>283046105>>283046125Shes so sweet it's diabetes inducing.
>>283082712>>283083542I see the narrative need for Kasumi to initiate the first kiss, but I just can't come up with a setup that would let her allow herself this indulgence. Paruyo is the instinct driven one who'd just go for it as a spur of the moment thing that she might later regret. Everything Kasumi does is calculated, even if the math is wrong. She wouldn't want to sully their pure S relationship with dirty lesbianism. She'd imagine kissing Paruyo, at best masturbate to it and then feel guilty. Her facilities would have to be seriously incapacitated for her to act on these urges, or Paruyo would have to be basically begging for it. (Maybe a misunderstanding?)
Sorry if I'm being a little negative, but does Kasumi really deserve to be happy? I mean she couldn't even get into the school she was aiming for...
>>283109856It’s definitely the least likely outcome, but I have a suspicion that Kasumi tutoring Haruyo is going to lead to them having an outside of school study date at one of their homes that’s going to lead to some kind of charged encounter once they are truly alone with one another and no chances for prying eyes at the library or near the stairs. I could only see Kasumi being the initiator if she starts picking up on Haruyo’s closeness and makes an attempt to be bold and push it further, it I could also see that being a step too far and freaking Haruyo out. Or she’d only fall even harder for Kasumi since she was about to pounce on her after the love confession.The other scenario is also maybe weird because Haruyo has already said she doesn’t think of her touching Kasumi as sexual, and the way she talks about the future and Sayori/Mizuki makes it seem like she wants to be super close Class S roommates that hug a lot. Like I don’t think her takeaway from meeting the senpais was “these too have hot sweaty lesbian sex every night”. So I don’t know how quick she’s going to be to start kissing Kasumi unless Kasumi does something first to make her think she wants it
>>283110164Kasumi, is that you?
