    Watashi wo Tabetai, Hitodenashi - Ch. 57 - A Mismatched Matching

    From an Irl logic stand point, sure, that makes sense. My problem is that the story actively went out of its way to set up Shiori and Miko being overprotective to the point of being stifling because Azami is sneaky and caught them off guard before. Then, Azami catches Hinako off guard by being...

    Watashi wo Tabetai, Hitodenashi - Ch. 57 - A Mismatched Matching

    Wasn't it like two chapters ago that Shiori and Miko said they'd be guarding Hinako at all times for the sake of her protection from Azami? This just feels straight up contrived. Shiori sneaks into Hinako's house all the time, so why would they assume Azami wouldn't?

    Sylph no Hanahime (Twitter Version) - Vol. 3 Ch. 37 - Chapter 37 Release Notice

    Sera and Nat's moment here is really cute :glee:. I love how despite how much they've changed, their lives have changed, and their relationship has changed, we keep seeing these echos of how their relationship started. There's something almost nostalgic about seeing Sera looking after Nat's...

    Sylph no Hanahime (Twitter Version) - Vol. 3 Ch. 36 - Chapter 36 Release Notice

    Now that Leah doesn't have any leverage over Sera anymore, it's interesting to see their dynamic shift. The rivalry isn't completely gone, but the same traits that initially made Leah a threat now make her seem more like over confident newbie. I don't think this serious senpai side of Sera is...

    Neko ni Hakucho, Hotaru ni Koban - Vol. 1 Ch. 6

    On pg14, the recipe Hotaru makes seems to be made by Yuna's mother :thonk:

    Neko ni Hakucho, Hotaru ni Koban - Vol. 1 Ch. 6

    The way the story has been sprinkling in little glimpses of Aki and their relationship without ever giving us the full context very much feels like setting up a mystery for a big reveal to me, rather than background character building. So far, Hotaru hasn't really had much of a personal stake in...

    Neko ni Hakucho, Hotaru ni Koban - Vol. 1 Ch. 6

    Well, we made it all the way to the end of volume one, and I'm still really not sure whether or not it's actually teacher/student. On one hand, there are four main characters, and by yuri logic, that must mean two couples. On the other hand, I feel like this chapter shows that Yuna's feelings...

    Sake to Onna wa Nigou made - Ch. 53

    I'm pretty frustrated with Naori here, ngl. I do not think Hinata's perspective on being an ogre is remotely healthy, but Naori essentially deciding what's best for Hinata on her own, and pushing that on Hinata without discussing it with her feels pretty bad. There's a million shades of grey...

    Dōu Zhuǎnshēng le, Wǒ Cái Bùyào Zài Gěi Nǐ Bǔmó! - Vol. 1 Ch. 9 - We Don't Have That Kind of Relationship

    Well, this is a fascinating dynamic. It seems like Elysia simultaneously has a lot of negative feelings towards Rachel, while also just wanting things to go back to how they were in the other world. Rachel, on the other hand, seems to really care about Elysia, but feels extremely guilty about...

    Watashi no Blue Garnet - Ch. 14

    Oh, Ai... 🫠 I have to agree with the other commenters here that Kon successfully chasing down Ai can't end well. Kon has done everything she possibly could, and at this point, if she really found Ai and brought her back, nothing would be resolved. Kon would have to keep living her life in...

    This series seems cute, but the translation is awful, as in google translate with zero editing awful. I'd love to read it if a serious group picks it up, but alas :angery:

    Baka ni Kokuhaku - Ch. 10.2

    The Ayumu and Hina stuff this chapter is very cute ofc, but what's really sticking out to me is Asuka and Ayumu's strange growing friendship. It's a lot a fun, and super well realized. You really get the feeling that if Asuka didn't resent Ayumu, they'd be great friends, but there's just that...

    Zenbu Kowashite Jigoku de Aishite - Vol. 6 Ch. 30 - Under the Soft Light

    Regarding Kurumi's decision to not help Isanuma, I wonder if the series is setting up Kurumi having to find a balance between who she was before, and who she is now. At the start of the series, the lesson she needed to learn was to put herself first, because focusing on the wants of everyone...

    I love the fried rice google images png, and how it's clearly american chinese fried rice, and how it doesn't match what the recipe says at all. Truly, this is peak fiction :clap:
