Yeah that was my read too. That she spent over a year creating specific pairings complete with a planning board implies some level of control complex or obsession about how she felt it was meant to play out.
I mean Sae being a bully killed by one of her victims because she was generally awful would be the straight forward narrative here with what we see so far. The avenues for nuance beyond that would be in her clear obsession with planning out who is paired with whom, as she clearly has specific...
Looks like a "absorbed into but still exists as a distinct personality within the monster" situation.
Kind of reminds me of a webcomic (possibly two if I remember correctly?) I read once...
The "correct path" thing does foreshadow homophobia but even if she's not, I kind of doubt ma is gonna look kindly on her daughter's crush being someone whose life goal has been to marry into money.
Right? Like she just witnessed how they would react to a threat to the harem, so just telling them "Hey, this cult lady wants to break up the harem" would create its own solution. I would understand if she were worried about potential karma from it though.
Otherwise convincing the nun that...
Went back and read some earlier chapters and noted that Rin and Kurohime were shown paired together in a after chapter mini drawing right after they were both introduced.

I wonder how long the idea of the three of them as a...
I think there was an announcement that it ends with an epilogue chapter after part 2 of Chapter 18. Not sure if that means it's a volume exclusive chapter or not though.
Certainly puts a greater emphasis on the question of whether Yurika specifically became a teacher to maintain predatory behaviorism. She avoided the typical route of using the letters specifically because she didn't want the emotional connection aspect.
I would agree that it's less a...
The codependent desperation is palpable but keeping someone tied up at your place when you've been accused of forcing them into a relationship is not going to look good if Mom presses further. Io is basically in position where she either publicly comes out on her own or watches on as Misa...
That's a great observation. Yurika states Class S is for school kids here (which parallels Aoyama's words in the prior chapter) but student-teacher is certainly a trope of modern Yuri and honestly makes Yurika's choice of profession and place of employment rather suspect.
"She's just a classmate."
Oh, Wakana is PISSED pissed. Hope you enjoy your after after-life, Ruruna-sama. It's been fun reading about you, you big goof.
Eve's character flaw thus far is her naivety in regards to the nature of human prejudices. Like how she's clearly surprised at the idea of humanity possibly considering beastkin to be monsters in this chapter. Or how she doesn't quite understand lies and cover-ups so might not even consider...
