    The Anemone Feels The Heat - Vol. 6 Ch. 32 - Lunchbox

    Uda deserves and can do better and as much as I hope the end result is her realizing it and Riri realizing all too late what she could have had and lost, the story beats are paint by numbers enough that the end result is going to be Uda and Riri together and Riri basically gets rewarded for her...

    Division Chief Shima Kōsaku - Vol. 1 Ch. 10 - Jingle Bell Rock

    I'm guessing there were only a few chapters of this series a year for a while looking at the publishing dates at the end and that definitely affects the writing in that this volume, at least, feels a bit like the first few volumes of Section Chief where it feels more like a collection of one off...

    Kiyo in Kyoto: From the Maiko House - Vol. 21 Ch. 223 - Breakfast for Two

    I think it's a consequence of the fact the series has been running for 200+ chapters and at the end of the day... Kiyo's just not terribly interesting. I don't mean that she's bad but she simply is what she is, dependable and placid with seemingly not a lot of desire for herself because her...

    Skip and Loafer - Vol. 9 Ch. 52 - Heart-thumping Ocean, Pt. 2

    I've actually been really disappointed with this arc so far. This has been built up since first year and for most of second year the girls have been pushed into the background first to establish and integrate Ujiie and Yasaka into the main cast and then for the Mitsumi/Shima romance/dating...

    Anemone is in Heat - Vol. 6 Ch. 31 - Desire

    Uda also hasn't actually confessed to Riri and been rejected. She tries to keep up her genki persona to mask her real feelings and pain. Riri, in comparison, is open about her feelings and continues to get rejected time and time and time again. Uda is, ultimately, a selfless character who puts...

    Usotsuki Satsuki wa Shi ga Mieru - Vol. 7 Ch. 63 - Lacking (2)

    I think whether or not Seo's faking her amnesia, she's sincere in her desire to be a better person.

    Section Chief Shima Kōsaku - Vol. 17 Ch. 175 - Give Me the Simple Life

    The thing is that for all of his reputation of being a man slut I think that's really only in the first maybe three volumes. He was pretty serious and exclusive with Suzukamo in the Kyoto arc in volumes 4 and 5 and obviously with Kumiko. There was plenty of times after the first few volumes...

    It's Not Meguro-san's First Time - Vol. 9 Ch. 65 - Greater Happiness

    This just followed those chapters with the vaguely incestual twins. Everything past Koga balking on sleeping with Meguro in the hotel room has been complete shit because the two of them sleeping together and Meguro having sex as an act of genuine love with a real romantic partner she's found...

    April Showers Bring May Flowers - Vol. 9 Ch. 52 - You're the MVP

    I'll be critical and say that this chapter was kind of hard to follow. The story was straightforward but the actual flow of the chapter is just really ADD like the author was trying to fit bits of every plot into it but didn't actually care enough to commit to any of them except the stuff with...

    The Story Between a Dumb Prefect and a High School Girl with an Inappropriate Skirt Length - Ch. 58 - A story about a dumb girl and her birthday

    We actually got one panel of Akina looking normal. Also yeah the hair styles need to either just go back or be changed. I can deal with new hairstyles but not these, they're straight up ugly.

    Hirayasumi - Ch. 47 - Don't Rush! Takoyaki

    I really feel like Yamada just needs to be shelved until Shinzo can figure out some kind of an angle with him because even after all this time I really don't have any feel for what his actual character or personality is beyond being a store brand Hiroto. There's nothing at all compelling about...

    Usotsuki Satsuki wa Shi ga Mieru - Vol. 7 Ch. 60 - Tearaway

    He's willing to manipulate things so bad people die but he also believes that trying to prevent deaths is flipping off fate and thus bad in and of itself. If he knows that someone is going to die on Tuesday at 3:00 PM then he can mess around so that it's Miho dying on Tuesday at 3:00 PM instead...

    The Moon on a Rainy Night - Ch. 12 - Remorse

    I'll actually say that I feel like Kanon's deafness kind of feels half-assed at times in. There's way too many loopholes inserted into the story (she can hear fine enough out of her right ear, she can read lips perfectly, she has this special room built for her that amplifies all the noise) that...

    Onee-sama to Watashi: Ojou-sama ga Isekai Tensei - Vol. 3 Ch. 9

    It runs in Aokishi, a bimonthly magazine whose biggest/only really notable series is Otoyomegatari. I assume it's fine because it's not really in a situation where it's expected to do big numbers or anything.

    It's the Jeffrey Epstein School for Girls and Junko is Ghislane Maxwell.

    Sengoku Komachi Kuroutan: Noukou Giga - Vol. 12 Ch. 59 - Newcomers

    Takatora Todo would go on to become one of the more prominent retainers under Hideyoshi and eventually sided with the Tokugawa after Hideyoshi's death. If you've played Samurai Warriors, he's a playable character SW4. Chacha is, of course, extremely important down the line as the wife of...

    Himeno-chan ni Koi wa Mada Hayai - Vol. 7 Ch. 59

    You all are getting teased. Big Bro's love interest is going to wind up being Alice's sister. They'll all be one big happy family in the end.

    "Ippon" again! - Vol. 2 Ch. 13 - I'm Sorry

    @SuperOniichan Because it's just basic storytelling about overcoming your weaknesses and insecurities to find strength and confidence as you improve little by little at every step.
