The revolution arc is such good stuff. Love seeing Rae and Claire work together, deepening their trust of and dependence on each other; plus adding more Lilly and Thane doesn't hurt, especially when they're off doing their own thing. I'm really anticipating how the manga handles all the major events on the way.

Remeber when this was about lesbians?
There was a whole chapter length about a lesbian suffering a psychotic break to the point her he/him persona starting fronting for her to protect the remains of her ego.

Which I just love btw. Alter is just another facet of Lilly's being. It might have been drawn out by trauma, but it's still her. I feel like they handled it well.

Irvine making contact with Matt who made contact with Claire it looks like the pieces are in place for Claire the Villainess to morph into Claire the Heroine. But right now she's just Claire. And that's good enough for her.

Okay, I got a question. In the original, is Lilly's other personality also refereed as a "he"?
Yeah, Alter's always been given he/him pronouns. His gender itself is less established, but his pronoun game is generally he/him.

goddamn liberals, doing a revolution to overthrow the feudal monarchy to establish liberal capitalism(as they tend to do) and getting in the way of the lesbian soup kitchen dates i'm really here for

actually though i hope they do a fun bit on what exactly the transition between fuedalism to capitalism entails because it's real interesting. and also how liberalism (now the conservative status quo) was once a radical and liberatory ideology

I'm gonna be real with ya'll. The political intrigue was cool at first, but damn if it hasn't just absorbed every other element of this manga that existed before it. It's starting to bum me out that we're probably not going to get more relationship stuff before the manga ends.

I mean... has it? Political turmoil and lovey-dovey romance has always been intertwined since the third or fourth volume. Maybe not to the extremity we're currently facing, but it's always been either the subtext supplementing the growth of our characters, or a stepping stone for the main Story™ Rae was trying so hard to avoid. Maybe in comedics its taken over but well... I don't see how our hero(ine)s could laugh at all the shit they've been dealing with for a while now. I wouldn't say it's like, one of the most intricate romance/thriller mangas I've seen - the bits I've read of Yona Of The Dawn and Fushigi Yugi are moderately to majorly better - but it's a well-handled balance all things considered.
