Hiiragi Utena here, and do I have news for you! Imitatio is Lord Enorme—but I’m sure she’s even more shocked than I am to see my true form. Has she learned her lesson from last time, or will I need to teach it to her all over again? Find out who’s on top in this jam-packed tenth volume!This is a story time thread and meant for discussing the story as it is being posted. Please refrain from spoiling future chapters for any new readers.Episode 47Episodes 44-46: >>286856498
>>286924561All part of the plan
>>286924546>This'll surely awaken something in young Korisu
>>286924604Korisu is going to have enough pent-up lust energy to eclipse baiser if this keeps going
>>286924635Another fantastic page
And that's all for today! Randa is heads over heels for Michiko. She's willing to do anything for her, including cutting herself in order to feel how Michiko was feeling.Are you afraid of pain?
>>286924690Momo momomomo is great
>>286924561Does this mean sister is going to double cross Vena?
>>286924690Oooh so evil today Baiser, shes really selling it
>>286924604She was already bottle feeding Magenta
>>286924720Yeah probably
>>286924645>>286924656>>286924666Greatest love story ever told.
Michiko butt
>>286924750It’s Michiko’s butt
>>286924666I love how this is another parallel between Utena and Michiko by the way. The former told Azure to unfuck herself after she realised she'd almost broken her. The latter realised she already had broken Randa and decided to take responsibility for it. It's also the first time you see her do something selfless.
>>286924645Does this have a name? I guessing stockholm is close
>>286924512I hope Baiser and Berserga's fight gets animated on S2. Or at least get a small glimpse of it.
>>286924776Yup I think you really got it right
>>286924779Randa falling in...well not quite agape but it's close. Not stockholm. It's just admiration that went supernova into something close to agape.>>286924780The scene where Baiser catches Berserga's scythe with her teeth should be great
>>286924715I used to think she was worst girl (affectionate) on my first read through but I'm liking her a lot more on the reread. She's still worst girl but she rocks the position.
>>286924829Every group needs a heel
>>286924780Thing is I dont really think there was a fight since baiser isnt hurt at all.I assume Berserga got webbed, tried to cut it with her blood and failed then passed out from anemia
>>286924512>Goodness me, this is a clusterfuck!I love Pantano Pesca
>>286924656>>286924645>>286924635Aaaaa im gushiiiing
>>286924495they all actually look almost heroic in this cover
>>286924720This also implies that sister was another girl that got manipulated by Vena, I don't remember Michiko saying she recruited her but I'm pretty sure she said she recruited Nemo and Matama.
>>286924525Berserga tummy + piercings peroperopero
>>286925108She must have been there when they got there.Like a chair someone left behind
>>286924709Thanks OP>Are you afraid of pain?Physical not much, emotional very.
>>286924645dork Michiko
>>286924709Thanks!>Are you afraid of pain?Just toothache. That's why I brush my teeth 3 times a day.
>>286925256If I was her I would be shitting myself thinking I was about to be stabbed to death by this crazy bitch
>>286924776Yeah, its fucking crazyAnd both of them, Baiser and Lorde, could have ended Azure and Magia Blanc/Randa at that moment, both chose not to
>>286925296But she was
>>286924674I love that Kiwi absolutely fucking gets it>Ran-Rancute!Kiwi makes extremely unsuspecting friends with people
>>286925108It would make sense, she looks significantly older than Michiko.
>>286924684Goddamn it Baiseralways with the villainous faces
>>286924769Indeed it is.
>>286924709I used to be very afraid of pain but I am no tougher and realize that can find a sort of joy in pain, even in a non-sadomasochistic way-- knowing you gave your all, getting hurt while trying your best or doing something funny but stupid is a good kind of pain that you can wear as a badge of have a good laugh at
>>286924624>>286924635>>286924645>>286924656>>286924666I’ve always loved this whole sequence. Michiko keeps up the Lord “persona” the entire time Randa is treating her but the second it looks like Randa might just murder her with an ice pick she completely drops the facade for the first time. Then you get the exact moment of clarity in her eyes when she realizes how broken Randa is because of the things she’s done, and yet she’s still the only one to ever show her some genuine love and kindness. Their relationship is one of the most strange in the whole series but I love every time we get to see more of them together, even when it’s just the 4 komas
>>286925296she probably did shit her own pants-- I mean this is Michiko we are talking about
>>286925443I interpreted it as her dropping the act when she saw Randa naked rather than perceiving her as a threat, she was already expecting Randa to kill her after all.
>>286924512Huh so the gag actually is tactically needed to avoid her summoning some hammerspace steaks and powering back up. Neat.
>>286925443Its honestly just really good. Like for whatever reason this manga is far better than you would think for parts like this
>>286924554jfc Randa
>>286924863Still want to see it.
>>286924645>>286924656>Michiko.exe has stopped working
>>286925350>not recognizing a 17 year old nunI know she's a little stacked but come on
>>286924690The fucking goober faces
>>286924666That's a great "what have I done" face. Her terror and mask breaking on the prior pages is great too but this moment where she finishes processing it all is so good.
>>286924690>Momo's tits pressed against the glass
>>286924570The normal magical girl outfit on Randa looks kinda cursed.
>>286925453I don't think she's been wearing pants since got beaten.
>>286924684>>286924690It's nice to see Baiser get to do some proper villain stuff, you just know she's happy she got to do that.
HazardLizardBlizzard
>>286924645I always found it funny how Baiser excused this while giving Azul shit for it.
>>286924512"Goodness me, this is a clusterfuck," is a good phrase.
>>286924684>>286924690Shame about her face. Now everyone is forced to stare at it in 8k
>>286924694Cute evil rapist dork>>286924709Thanks, OP. Not really.
>>286926142Well right then Michiko wasn't a villain but a civilian and now she's a magical girl so it's all okay.
>>286926232Go outside, touch grass and stop spamming. Holy crap, don't you got anything better do with your life other than spam the same thing about Utena's face on every new topic? Seriously knock it off! It's getting old and really annoying..
>>286926533I genuinely can't tell if the increasingly over the top reaction is part of the bit or you're actually mad. However, I don't want to find out since the mystery is more fun, so I will be not paying attention to replys to this comment.
>>286925484Randa's words reaching Michiko is the more likely prompt but all together it's a compelling picture for the soon-to-be cake.
>>286924645>I like her because she beat me upMost realistic lesbian relationship in the series
>>286925484Could be part of it, but I took it as her keeping up her persona out of combination of pride, anger and perceiving Rand’s behavior as confusing but at least non-threatening. She doesn’t even think Randa is going to do anything other than take her to some OTHER magical girls at some point. So when it looks like Randa is about to shank her looking like a freaky ass naked ghoul, she cracks.Also thinking about it now she yells at Randa that she’s never going to trust anyone ever again right before this exchange. So part of that moment of clarity might also be her realizing that there is someone that she can still trust.
>>286925784Just wait until you see it on Michiko>>286926142The situations are similar, but she didn’t have a personal investment in Berserga the way she did with Tres Magia. But mainly the difference is Azure was falling for an evil general. Even though that’s how it started with her falling for Lord Enorme, ultimately Berserga’s relationship is with another magical girl
>>286924684Baiser is so fucking cringe my god.
>>286924570She looks cute
>>286924567I still think they should've teased this scene at the end of S1
>>286928026That would spoil the shit out of who Shion is
>>286924709Thanks. A bit sure
>>286924684I'm starting to think they are getting too used to these public displays.
>>286924656Lovebombing is broken levels of unfair. Literally no one can resist it.
>>286924684Love this dork
>>286926142Even if Micchan was evil I can't see Utena trying to break up her relationship with Randa because of that, it just isn't in-character for her.Utena is personally against it, but I doubt she cares if anyone else does it.
>>286928113>Seemingly peaceful afternoon>Currently in an important meeting with boss and colleagues>At first everything seems fine when suddenly a familiar voice can be heard outside>It's Leoparde talking shit about tres magia from giant magic sky screen>Hopefully tres magia will deal with her soon, she's being loud>Another voice can be heard, it's Sulfur>Hopefully they'll arrange where they will fight and hang up>It's been 2 fucking hours and they're still going>They've gotten so loud I can feel the window glass vibrating as they scream at each other>From the distance car alarms and dog barking can be heard>Boss is trying to continue the meeting but I can barely hear her>I fucking hate magical girls
>>286928291And then you're visited by a gray cat who gives you magical girl powers to rid the world of magical girls, both good and evil.
>>286924674I shouldn't be surprised Kiwi has a somewhat unconventional view of love. Seems there's a possible parallel with Sayo there as well. >>286924709>Are you afraid of pain?Not the pain itself but it typically means something is wrong and possible health problems scare me
>>286924656I prefer the non""canon"" translation t-b-h>I don't like pain>but I want to know how you feltDoesn't hit as hard as>painful things hurt>but I want to understand your feelings
>>286928792Commonly, fan translations far better capture the emotional nuance and flow than the official ones. If it was some sort of fairly judged competition, fan translations would win almost every time.
>>286924690>>286924694I'm a little surprised Baiser doesn't do this more often. She seems to be the type to not care about her public image as long as it gets her off, preferably by rilling up the magical girls.
>>286924690>ATTENTION, SHITLIPS:>I, MAGIA BAISER, FUCKED YOUR WIFE>NYEHEHEHEHEHE
What's Baiser's contingency plan if she accidentally broke Tres Magia's spirit and made them quit being magical girls?
>>286928898after being depressed for a while she'd decide to train up their replacements herself, looking forward to the day they are strong enough that she can betray them and reveal she was the villain all along
>>286928898Ritual Seppuku, but like perverted
>>286928976Ultimately perishing while acknowledging her pupils' growth as magical girls...
>>286928898I don't think she has one yet, and would self-mindbreak. If she did create an emergency "no magical girls plan" it would probably be something like this. >>286928976Say, wouldn't it be crazy if Vena was actually Baiser?
Come to think about it... isn't it weird that the Tres Magia haven't shown up in the last chapters?You would think they would show up at some point after Matama and Nemo transformed (and then got kidnapped), and then when Baiser showed up to fight Imitatio / Lord Enorme.I'm guessing that maybe they did sense Enormita like always and then (off-screen) they showed up only to see Loco and Leber being taken away by Imitatio, who warned them to not get involved in her revenge plan.
>>286929962or Imitatio is using the matic blocker to hide their magical emanations like Randa did wirh her as she was healingDon't really know why Randa needed that though since Michiko was a civilian at that time amd wouldn't be radiating any magicAlso whose house was that? Is Randa living alone at 17 or did she sneak a grown woman into her basement and treat her all without her parents finding out
>>286924525This chapter is so peak, they somehow managed to make a relationship that's toxic yet so pureI might even put it above Sulfur's true form chapter in terms of kino-ness
>>286927175>Utena/KiwiI like her because she beat me up but called me cute after>Matama/NemoI like her because we yell at each other>Kaoruko/HarukaI like her because she molested me>Micchan/RandaI like her because she nearly beat me to death
Michiko's character arc is pretty well done. She appears like an irredeemable piece of shit initially, but then shows that she can grow beyond her shitty ways and find people that she cares about
>>286930461>Utena/Kiwi Electrocuted her
>>286930120>or Imitatio is using the matic blocker to hide their magical emanations like Randa did wirh her as she was healingI thought about the barrier thing too. But if she used one to go undetected against Tres Magia / the rest of Enormita, wouldn't the magic barrier also allow Imitatio's location to become untraceable when she hacked into Enormita's communications to announce her revenge plan?Or maybe she was indeed using a magic barrier the whole time, but the barrier probably stops working temporally when you announce your presence to other magical girls, which is how Vena was able to trace the call.
>>286929962It would just muddy the waters having too many characters getting focus when this is the climax of Imitatio’s arcand they’re the focus of the next major arc, so they can stand to sit on the bench for a few chapters.
>>286928898She's the world's biggest magical girl fan so she doesn't think they ever would break.
>>286924570>>286924576>>286924588>>286924599>>286924607>You have to eat all the eggs
>>286930120Rather than a house it looks like a room in a mental hospital, I assume Randa was committed or something after she became deranged. Maybe not the case though since it looked like she had freedom of movement, but I guess they can't really stop magical girls
>>286933092She seemed sane enough that no one would question her mental state before she came up with that genius idea to get through to Michiko
Gushing.
Need more girlbutts
>>286924570I love her traditional magical girl look and you can't stop me
>>286924567I can finally say it for good: the anime added her atop the pile of defeated magical girls when they talk about Lord's Mahocide.
>>286934559The LV are great but the base magical girl outfits are great especially in colourHeck barring Sister Gigante there's no designs I hate
>>286928898Utena hasn't even been doing Baiser shit for a year, I really don't think she has the foresight for anything.
>>286928898Find the imposter and beat them to death before moving onto Vena. It'd push her into an overprotective yandere mode for a bit while Tres Magia recover
>>286924546yeah, gobble it down you little chonker
>>286924546See that satisfied face? She loves pampering inferior older woman and treating them like toys.
>>286935878Alice on her van full of rock CDs approaching older ladies....
Can pure love redeem a former villainess?
>>286924567You know there's actually two important pieces of information here: first that enough battle damage can cause a transformation item to be permanently destroyed and second that Lorde took such a beating here she probably was actually going to just die on the streets. Which bodes poorly for what the Magical Girl Hunt truly was.
Next chapter is peak gushing
>>286936444To be fair her powers were just given to her by Vena and ran out during the fight. But yeah, Sister beat the shit out of her, Baiser's spanks may have humiliated and drained her but the actual wounds weren't her fault.
>>286936511Oh no not saying that normal magical girl fights are secretly more dangerous than their displayed danger level ,but this is moreso confirmation that yes things can escalate to be that brutal, it's just not something the cast chooses to do.
>>286924546>Korisu’s self satisfied face in the bottom right panelThe token loli is getting too comfortable with holding power over older women
Michiko did the Mahoucide and as a rewards gets a BPD pastel goth gf. How is this fair?
>>286934764Oh you dont like Gigante?Thats crazy, not a fan of the nun look or some other reason?
>All of Randa's Hee HeesI gotta give the fantranslation it. Her Ehes are more fitting.
>>286880929I was right!I appreciate everyone who shot down my speculation. Not only do I get to be right but now it feels like I defeated someone>>286924561Schemes within schemes>>286924709Thanks OP>Are you afraid of pain?I think I've got a decently high tolerance for it, but I can't say it's something I enjoy
>>286937639NTA but my problem with her is that there's nothing to her beyond the nun thing. Her design is literally just lewd oppai nun and she's not even that good compared to the competition. The rest of the designs have a lot more style and substance to them.
>>286937673Fair enough. Maybe when we know more about her it will make the nun stuff more than just aesthetic
>>286929630>Time loop end where Vena reveals she's actually endgame Baiser after finally going too hard and breaking the magical girls completely who has returned to the past to fix her mistakes and make sure this time they're strong enough to handle her>Vatz is Kiwi, they always have a huge climactic showdown at the end>This is the Nth time they've done this loop, every time Baiser gets even stronger and breaks the mahous anyway>All the men disappeared somewhere around the 200th iteration when Baiser started getting into the reality warper levelsI'd clap
>>286937661She's a fan of Michael
>>286937639Just seems kinda dull. It's as plain as Leopard's feline form but that was something transitionary unlike this which appears to be the default stateI'm sure the mangaka could do a better sexy nun as he did a damn good sexy nurse
>>286937673I get that her design isn’t as outlandish as some others, but I think it does a good job at what it’s trying to do which is “sexy nun.” I think it’s more about the way she carries herself. She’s statuesque but her hair is insanely long and flowy and combined with the overly long fabric of her clothing it gives her a kind of ethereal aura. And then from that you get the gap effect of her moving in an almost feral way with her unga bunga fighting style all while maintaining a calm, sad expression. I guess I’m saying I get not liking the costume but I think the combination of the costume and her demeanor as a character is what elevates it for me. I wonder if/when we’ll ever see her La Verita.
>>286941739I feel like her La Verita is 100% certain. Alice already has power for gigantism so Gigant needs other niche if she is going to be the antagonist of the next arc. Another thing I am curious about is her weapon. She never really manifested one like the others yet her original design showed her with one. I wonder if she was hiding it on purpose for her previous fights and only using her body for attacks because she's a masochist?
>>286942595>cause she's an MIt's likely more tactical considering her go to power. What was her weapon anyway? A staff is the only thing coming to mind unless she was to lean into the dom aspect to fill out the trinity between Lorde and Baiser
>>286942690>what was her weapon anyway big ass mace with a star motif. It looked really cool.
>>286937673 I kinda get what you mean but I think that’s also why she works? Not every design has to be maximalist torture gear or animal gimmick. Her whole thing is restraint. Plain black, giant veil, absurd proportions. It’s simple on paper but the silhouette carries it.And honestly the “just a lewd nun” angle feels intentional. She’s less about flashy concept and more about mood. Compared to the others who scream their gimmick immediately, she just stands there looking like a fallen statue and then proceeds to unga bunga someone through a wall. That contrast is doing a lot of heavy lifting.If anything I think she’ll click harder once we get more character focus. Right now she’s coasting on presence alone, which isn’t nothing.
>>286937673Your looking at it from style perspective and I think that's your biggest mistake. You aren't looking at it from "parallel" perspective. Baiser's design is supposed to be that of a demon. Sister Gigant being the nun already foreshadowed she's going to oppose Baiser in someway. It only got more apparent when she betrayed Lord. If Baiser's love for magical girls makes her look like a demon, what sortof emotions does Gigant have that makes her look like a nun? Baiser is also a scary S while Gigant is a scary M. It's intentions behind the design which I think it sell it for me.
>>286942595>Alice already has power for gigantism so Gigant needs other nicheTo be fair that was for a one off gag chapter and Alice doesn’t have growth/shrinking powers as a primary ability, she just used her “bring toys to life” powers to make a working Ultramom transformer and then yeet’d it at Magenta
>>286942900Baiser's design combines a magical girl, a succubus and a devil. It has layers to it. Sister needs more layers
>>286943154Sister should just be naked and let me suck those nipples out
>>286943107To be fair though Alice's power also makes people shrink within her dollhouse and makes her toys bigger. There is overlap with Sister's size changing.>>286943154This.>>286942768>>286942900I'm looking at it from a "every character in this manga kind of has insanely good designs so I expect better" but I do think she's 100% getting a LV form later. There's just not much to her right now.
>>286943435Hiiragi-mama, pls. Utena doesn't need a sibling.
>>286943154Baisers La Verita is like an aristocrat with the cape and the magic wand used as a cane. I've seen that kind of character style before and it's definitely some media trope, perverted, powerful old men usually, getting off by exercising power over others and through humiliation, but don't know if it has a proper name.
>>286944023Ugly bastard
Why do Vena’s devices give their users different costumes while Vatz’s only give a standard magical girl uniform (in different colors)?
>>286944172Merchandising
>>286944172Vatz is stupid and uncreative, Vena gave mana to one woman and she stomped piles and piles of Vatz's allies. I haven't read before but it feels like Vatz has to be trying to be this incompetent lol, it's all a false flag. Maybe Vatz really is just a useless plushie though as a joke about the usual magical girls mascot
>>286944172Vatz mass produces Mahous. Vena hand crafts Evil Mahous
>>286944172Because evil gets cooler designs. It's in the rules.
>>286944172The meta reason is that the series clearly started out with way less of a plan and way more of a pure gag nature because the author was just tossing it out there and it wasn't until he saw it became a hit that he shifted to a more developed narrative, by which point the mahous already had the same costume designs.
>>286944172>>286944345>>286944588My theory is Vatz and the majority of the mascots go for a quantity approach with their Mahos that typically nets them some small amount of power per girl but is stable and easy to mass produce. Vena seems to go for a quality approach that takes a lot of investment and is far more unstable, but can yield massive returns. Basically Vatz is investing in wind power and Vena is investing in nuclear.
>>286944172Good = Order = matching uniforms.Evil = Chaos = diverse outfits.
>>286930550Twice
>>286945467It’s kind of romantic when you think about it…

>>286945955Jesus fuck, did Vatz not even check if there were any survivors from the hunts?
And that's all for today! Despite the absolute ass blasting by Imitatio, Utena couldn't be happier to see the birth of a new magical girl.What makes you happiest?

>>286945996>>286946046>The citizens are so used to Baiser at this point that it genuinely shocks them to hear she's going to do something actually evil
>>286946273I can only pray that the anime extends the sequence of Kiwi rubbing medicine on Utena's butt
>>286946276I guess at this point the only question left is whether she wants to overthrow Vatz or stop his plans.
>>286946423Even Haruka thinks this is ooc
>>286946302That's a very rough 17,could have sworn she is late 20s>what make you happiest Making things work,I am used to being wrong and being a fuck up so when am proven right or when I do things correct it's the best feeling

>>286946566But why?
>>286946175Villain redemption into hero cheer based power up combo
>>286946589>>286946591My only guess is that it's weird for a 20 year old to be molesting 14 year olds
>>286945944>Ugh, Momo?Love how this is literally everyone's response to her presence in any given scene
>>286946141What a heroic motivation.>>286945996>>286946147Baiser's truly a master of the art.

>>286946619But she doesn't? Baiser's the molester
>>286946293Lorde/Imitatio totally would have expected Berserga to get molested
>>286946619I could have sworn her info page in a previous volume said she was 20 as well though. I think someone just fucked up the numbers since there's a 1 and 7 in the line below it.
>>286946591Shes a 20 year old dating a 17 year old.In the west thats not going to fly.

The 17 is most likely a formatting error and IIRC this volume isn't out in print yet so I imagine they will correct that.
>>286946874Is that so?
>>286946911Changing it is a very deliberate decision when the raw very clearly saws 20. We'll see if they change it back for the print version, especially after chapter 56 came out after these translations were done.
>>286945979>Momo just happened to be in the right place at the right time.Makes sense, I can't imagine those mascot aliens actually choosing her on purpose.
>>286946244The ENTIRE reason she was given such a wide sword
>>286946788>datingI'm sure Randa hopes they are
>>286946302>17That’s a pretty major fuck up. She is explicitly 20 and a college dropout
>>286946566>>286946754>>286946991I think what actually happened is that it's leftover text from Randa's page (makes sense if you have a single template for all character sheets so they look consistent) that was mistakenly carried over when they did this one.
>>286946040>Utena's hand in the last panel
>>286945944>>286945979>first appearance timeline wise>everyone is already sick of her shitfucking kek. I love Momo so much
>>286947044I did take liberties with the dating bit but c'mon, those two are paired off.
>>286946107I somehow only now realised that Baiser is explicitly barely hanging on during this fight. She almost passed out right there.
>>286946302The digital has been out for awhile right? I wonder if they’ll fix that in the print version
>>286946795Butt!
>>286945969compact butt
>>286947097Yeah she was on fumes for this fight and still kind of won the 1v1

It only makes her script come together easier>What makes you happiest?Reading manga with all of you, of course
>>286947085Oh definitely, they're locked in. That we can agree on. I hope Kiwi and Ran-ran's friendship grows as well.
>>286946423They're just sick of looking at her face. What a shame.
>>286946192I like how you can see more stars forming above her eye, but then disappear right afterwards. Makes it easy to tell that Baiser is intentionally holding back because she thinks Imitatio needs a win.
>>286946591The issue is that in a later chapter they remark on how she can drink legally.
>>286946302>>286946566>>286947070Yeah, this is 100% a typoNo need for weird psyop theories, guys.>>286946500>She must be in college.Yeah, about that...

What exactly is Baiser's power?
>>286946276My hero Much lucha Gigante
>>286947600Can corrupt almost anything into monsters that follower her own will. Intelligent creatures, Like Octopus, are harder to control though so it has limits.
>>286947600Se can make monsters.The melee fighting and her Menace attacks are just a side thing.Oh and I guess she has her web now too.
>>286947402I'm convinced that little shit was in on the whole mahocaust, there's being retarded and then there's ignoring an entire massacre.
>>286947699Oh for sure the two of them are in on it together.Hell I even think this whole "Power them up through giving them something to overcome" bit that Utena is doing is exactly what they both wanted to do in the first place.
>>286946302>What makes you happiest?Whenever a thread on something obscure that I like appears.

>>286946302>What makes you happiest?Girl butts
>>286947649>>286947665Thanks. It felt like it was creating BDSM devices and then just became Enorme's original power after baiser beat her. Then changed again with vertas.
>>286936966No loli should have such power.
>>286947987Baiser used to be pretty weak by herself and was reliant on summoning monsters to fight for her, but over the series she's trained more for direct conflicts and frequently gets into fights herself using summons only for support
>>286946276>Sister never told Vena that she let Michiko escape with two transformation items>Also, she never told about Michiko's face cuts after throwing her to that hole at the Nacht BaseThe plot tickens

>>286946302>Specialities: SewingThen why did she never try to fix her old cap?

>>286947877Like what?
>>286945979Momo definitely joined the wrong side.
>>286948587Kiwi would never allow her to join Enormita
>>286946276What are the chances she did this because she thought of Michiko as a friend?
>>286946302>17How the fuck can one mistranslate numbers?
>>286928898She doesn't have a contingency plan for that, because she doesnt need oneShe was worried about it for a bit after what happened with Azure, but after seeing Azure's resolve, she realized she didnt need to worry.Magicals girls can't be broken, because they are magical girls.
>>286948725See >>286947070 Or brainfarted.
>>286928898Why would she have a contingency plan for a non problem?Magical girls are true heroes who will never break.
>>286946276How could a face like that be lying?
>>286946102>Hypnosis #5There it is.That's how she was able to take everyone to the haunted house. IDK why she thought it would be effective on a slime monster like this though.
>>286946276That's a lot of stars, also does she use an honorific in the original for Vena?
>>286947228I think you're reading to much into it, thats just the artist being inconsistent.
>>286946175>not "How can they be cheering for someone like me"The official translation kinda sucks
>>286949042Desperation most likely.Baiser was tilting her by reminding her of her last defeat and her worries for Ran meant that she wasn't in the best state of mind.
>>286946566>>286946302You know, I usually want to defend official translations, but how the fuck do you mess that up?I was the one a few threads ago saying that they surely must have contacted Takeshobo before deciding to use male pronouns for Venalita, but after seeing an error like this, I'm no longer confident in that.
>>286949259For the most part I’ve been enjoying the official, but that line really hit harder in the fan translation. It still has the same tone but her questioning why anyone would believe in someone like her even as she’s powering up carried a lot more weight.
>>286946276>gets so excited by lying to Vena about sandbagging the Imitatio investigation she starts piling on starsI’m really going to enjoy seeing what the fuck her actual deal is
>>286945955Telling Berserga about La Veritas is probably the most useful thing they've ever done.
>>286946073Imagine showing beginning of series Azure current Azure. What would happen?
>>286946134>>286946141>>286946147>>286946161>>286946175Holy K I N O
>>286946276OH SHIT! I missed this the first time I read through this. That's a lot of stars, 12 with potential for more. How does that compare to other star bloom moments?
>>286949969I believe, outside of a couple of Baiser moments, Gigant the highest for the bloom.
>>286947699Vatz and Vena are definitely in cahoots.I think that they were conducting some kind of gu ritual where the good and evil magical girls fight each other in order to push each other to be stronger.Mahocaust was probably their plan A. Lord was explicitly not strong on her own, but just had a lot of power poured into her. Maybe too much, because she was a little too good at genociding magical girls. To the point where the survivors were so few that Vatz and Vena didn't even know if there were any, and where Berserga was left traumatized and mentally broken.Plan B seems to be Baiser. Vena found the perfect villain in Utena. One who not only pushes her allies to grow, but also who loves her enemies and antagonizes them specifically because she gets her rocks off watching them overcome adversity. And it's been pretty effective so far. 2/3 of the Tres Magia have their La Verità now. They're getting stronger without experiencing any real danger or their numbers dwindling.
>>286945969>>286945979I guess anti-recognition magic not only prevents you from connecting the dots between your civilian identity and magical girl identity, but also your magical girl base form and magical girl laverita form.And I guess the only reason anyone recognizes each other in laverita form is because they transform in front of each other.Or maybe I'm overthinking this.
>>286946141>>286946147>>286946161>>286946175>Utena, are we the baddies?
>>286946273I love when Korisu has a face like she's resentful in advance for the complex she knows she'll have when she's older.

>>286946244>>286946255Given how Baiser said earlier that blasting off like Team Rocket made her feel alive, she probably would've creamed her brains out from this even without Love Potion #13.>>286946302Thanks for the dump, this is one of my favorite chapters. Reading MahoAko makes me happy, and having like minded anons to read it with makes me happy, too.

>>286952301Oh hey that's me.
Does the transformation make Michiko younger or just look younger?
>>286952838What's the difference? Her mind doesn't seem to be effected in anyway. The cutesy stuff was intentional.
>>286946147S2 better have a Micchan insert song that starts exactly as the crowd cheers for her
>>286952838She's usually drawn somewhere between a loli and an unusually proportional midget. Especially in this chapter, her legs are a huge tell.I think it just makes her body small.
>>286946161I'm thinking these are men.
>>286953682Surely they're just similar to Leber where they look 'manly' or whatever word they use now that men have been excised from existence but they're still girls.
>>286953682No, those are just lesbians.
>>286924525Damn, gimme a masochistic whore like this.
>>286948420She's the only current Enormita girl in this series who is smart enough to actually be dangerous as a villain.
>>286953682>short hair girls don't exist
>>286954127She's not even maso, really. She's just attracted to power and fixated on exactly one person.She wants to hero-worship and submit to an idealized partner to the point of the total obliteration of her own identity.Randa is the princess who wants to court the dragon. She's the psycho bitch who sends a love confession to her favorite serial killer. And she's so real for that ong nocap.
>>286942595>>286942768>>286942900I’d like to bring back my theory from https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/286615926/#q286677752Sister isn’t that powerful only because she was harvested in the past like Utena was supposed to be. She doesn’t any power of her own anymore and Vena is lending her power like they did with Lord.
>>286953749Wait, you're telling me this manga has lesbians?
>>286953139One heals menopause and the other doesn't
>>286954298So she's a "i can fix her" type?
>>286955191For Michiko specifically it was more a case of "shit I broke her" followed by "I should be a responsible person for once in my life and take care of her".
>>286947600>>286947987Also to further clarify a thing: what happened back in the Lord fight was that since Baiser realised destroying Lord's constructs was useless because they'd just reform, she used her own power on them to convert them into her minions. It's why you see the big one Lord summons charge towards her and then immediately change direction when Baiser touches it. In that way she metaphorically but also possibly literally stole Lord's power, since her power and her summons were one and the same.>>286950057Definitely the highest so far, but as for future chapters Alice goes up to 13 that time she mogs the entire cast. That said, Flower of Lust Baiser still has the absolute most.>>286954485The problem with that is that Lord's borrowed power thing was explicitly contrasted with the girls' powers coming from their emotion and rising in tandem with it, and here we see the same happening to Sister, getting more stars the more excited she is.
>>286955692>spoilerProbably one of my favorite pages too

>>286924525>>286924666>>286946141>>286946264The first time I read this I was on the fence about their romantic relationship because I got the sense the romantic feelings were one sided from Randa and Michiko only felt obligated to take care of her. But the more I’ve reread it I think Michiko does love Randa, she’s just not good at expressing it. i guess it’s a lot more apparent in some upcoming chapters/extra comics where doing small romantic gestures for Randa gets Michiko blushing and/or flustered. It would still be nice to see them actually kiss or something

>>286945969loli buttsex
What's the meaning behind Momo's "hero" name anyway? Berserga and Imitatio are obvious and while I'm not sure what Patano means, Pesca means fish. Is it some untranslatable Japanese pun?
>>286966505Pantano means mud in Italian/Spanish(?), referencing her mud powers, and Pesca means Peach because she's called Momo.
>>286966505Pantano are swamplands in Spanish. A statement about how she's perpetually wet and stinks down there.
>>286966505Pantano translates to swamp, bog, marsh, quamire in italian and spanish.She's a swamp fisher. Contextually its probably a slang punchline for the type of shipper she is, but her earth manipulation powers are very...swampy, with how it liquefies the earth>>286966672Fitting that the apparent pun name appears with such a dork.
>>286966792I really don't know what kind of retardation someone needs to think Pesca would be used for the fish meaning and not for the peach meaning here, but I guess it was started by some idiot who plugged the two terms into Google translate and made no further research.
>>286965600Randa... or Haruka...
Momo is a mud peach because she's a dirty butt
Shio-chan raping Utena!!!!!!!
Me raping Utena!!!!!!!
Utena raping magical girls!
It's a giant rape centipede!
>>286970552>the conga line of women getting it on with Big Sister
>>286959954It's really important to remember that Michiko is a fucking dropout loser with a chip on her shoulder and (as Lord) compensatory grandiose delusions.Her brutal mogging at the hands of Utena followed immediately by being bombarded with Randa's unconditional worship was a huge double-whammy for someone like Micchan. It makes perfect sense that she's going to be a little slow to open up - her whole world and self-image is being forced into a (productive) 180.
>>286959954It's a gentle blossoming on Micchan's part
Still a ways from bump limit but I wonder if the next chapter should be a new thread considering what happens might have some heavy discussion
>>286973138Couldn't hurt. Bumps and shitposting will probably get it to 400 by the usual time.
Girlbutts
>>286973138Could also just let the thread die naturally. It doesn't need to be constantly bumped.
>>286946302Thank you for posting, OP! I like magical girls.
>>286946024Kiwi and Kris love feeding her.
If you asked teenage me what he thought his favorite manga series would be in 15 years there's no way he would have said a magical girl series with themes of romance and self discovery through bondage

>>286947071Peak cumbrained lesbo
>>286973138How is literally every chapter THAT chapter? I mean the Ero eclipse is probably the ultimate of THAT chapters, but still it feel like every single chapter has something amazing in it.
>>286976719It just is, if it's the one I'm thinking of. It'd be a good penultimate episode for s2
>>286946057>>286946062Hey I know this episode!The production company is just doing this to sell more crossover toy sets!
Me want Pesca doujin
>>286946073>thats my secret, i'm always horny
>>286946057>>286946073Wait a second, wasn't the only times the Shio-chans interacted with the Tres Magia was to beat the shit out of their civilian forms? Why are they so eager to help?
>>286978320Above all else, Tres Magia thinks that Baiser is a pussy ass bitch
>>286978320>why are magical girls eager to help save another someone?Gee I wonder.
>>286978320They didn't? Pesca's the only one that overtly messed with Tres Magia. Tres met Shion and Berserga during the blossoming after dealing with the queen spider
>>286976719It’s just that good. Theres a long run of chapters that consistently manage to hit all kinds of highs with almost no lows. This whole volume is pretty much all killer, no filler. >>286978320Pantano Pesca and Imitatio also jumped them to keep them from interfering with Berserga fighting Magia Baiser if I remember correctly, plus that time Pesca got Magenta and Sulfur in the hot spring. But they’re still heroes and even though the Shio-chans were shitty to them they likely aren’t willing to let the villains publicly execute a magical girl just because they were jerks
>>286963396When she loses control her entire body becomes covered with little stars.
>>286978320They only one of them who got mistreated badly was Azul. She never held any grudges because of "love". I feel like if she ever found out they were former villains and were paling around with Baiser behind the scenes, something might change. I wanna see Azul really snap one day and become like how she was in chapter 1, but with more anger. Basically something happens that causes her to shelve the masochism in exchange for pure rage. Basically trade love for hate. Become as spiteful as anonymous.
It's really hard to decide whether to make a new thread or continue in this one. There's just barely enough room for the next chapter plus discussion, but each chapter lately has been getting 100-200 posts.
>>286978865New thread and let this one die. The chapter's have been getting longer as well. They feel like it anyway, so that plus comments kind of warrants it
>>286978865Do you want to finish the dump eventually or do you wanna discuss the manga with anons? Dumping means you will be free faster. Discussing with anons mean the dump will be slower but there will be discussion. You also have the possibility of Schizo coming and screaming for some nonsense.
>>286978865Everyone start shitposting fasterI want Baiser to choke me
>>286978769Could be fun, but I don't think finding out about anything to do with Baiser's Enormita would do that. Sayo knows that Baiser isn't a real villain.>>286978865We should just sage post until this one naturally falls off. A small delay is worth the room for discussion.
>>286978865Flip a coin if you can't decide.Heads = new threadTails = stay here.
>>286978929Next chapter is relatively short (24 pages). Chapter 48 was unusually long at 38 pages.
>>286979037Next chapter has THAT page though.
>>286979037Damn that Baiser and that Shion. Tricking me with their ebin battles, it has honestly felt like each chapter's been about 30 lately but you're right. 48 was just long.
>>286978865New thread. Once the chapter is posted there will barely be room to discuss before autosage
>>286978865definitely new thread,I couldn't wait and read it alone and it was PEAK
>>286946795You can solve everyone problem with women by spanking them and I’m glad the manga is addressing this topic.
>>286979037That’s all? From my memory it seemed like a lot of shit happens, but maybe it seemed longer because every page was kino
>>286979344Venalita is a cutie
I'll make a new thread. I don't want to make a new thread just for chapter 50 and then move onto volume 11 while having volume 10 as the OP for a few chapters into volume 11.
Since we are trying to kill this threadWhat are your headcannons for each of the girls' sensitive spots?
>>286979526All of them - Anus
>>286979526Sulfur - outer bit of her armpits, for tickling more than arousal.Azul - shell of her ears.Magenta - tummy
>>286976719I really think if it sticks the landing MahoAko will go down as one of the peaks of its genres and I think it comes down to the fact that the author has both an immense passion for everything involved (magical girls, BDSM, and yuri) and the talent to pull it off both on the art and on the writing front. And I do wonder what he'll work on next assuming I'll live to see the end of this.
>>286979526>>286979550Inside of their urethra
>>286979604You need to switch Azul and Sulfer
>>286979423Venalita is in the running for the best magical girl mascot design of all time imo. I think visually speaking he beats out Qb too.
>>286979660>I really think if it sticks the landing MahoAko will go down as one of the peaks of its genres It'll be that or the author does something which turns it into a Chainsaw m*n tier ending. I have learned to never overestimate a writer. Not everyone is perfect. Don't use rose tinted glasses and then get mad when the house falls.
Well, since the next chapter will be posted on a new thread, maybe this is a good opportunity to post the melonbooks exclusive bonus chapter that comes between the previous and the next one. It's a sequel of pic related and it doesn't contain spoiler for future episodes. And it's just 4 pages.What do you say?

>>286979660If it sticks the landing it will become a legendary cult classic and eventually be nitpicked for doing too much, too fast, with too many characters.
Here's the new thread btw.>>286980378
>>286950271Its the curse of being the only character in the manga with a triple digit IQ.
>>286949367Official TLs almost never contact the original author, certainly not these days. It USED to be a thing back in the late 90s, early 00s, for prestige brands like Dark Horse. Back when localizing manga was a specialty. These days it just doesn't happen often at all.
>>286980110There's no way they only did it twice.
>>286953682Just dykes I'm sure.
