    The Anemone Feels The Heat - Vol. 6 Ch. 36 - Junior

    It's annoying that this is being spun as Nanjou being selfish even though the entire situation is predicated on Riri being unable to take "no" for an answer and continuing to push something after already being rejected. But no, Riri is the real victim because her love is just so strong and pure...

    Usotsuki Satsuki wa Shi ga Mieru - Vol. 8 Ch. 73 - Weight

    In the event of nuclear war all that will be left is Bug Queen Ami (thanks to her cockroach armor) and Miho (because she's Miho).

    Hagino-san Wants to Quit the Wind Ensemble - Ch. 16 - Give me the spotlight!

    Is that only chapters where they had a prominent role? Because Fujimura and Prez are both visible in chapter 1 as well.

    Usotsuki Satsuki wa Shi ga Mieru - Vol. 8 Ch. 72 - Back and Forward

    It's not a binary thing. Seo turned out to be a violent psychopath and in the end Satsuki was wrong and Prez was right about her. But Prez's (and the bullied girls') actions are what made her decide to abandon everything in favor of going kill 'em all. I don't think it's going to turn out that...

    Usotsuki Satsuki wa Shi ga Mieru - Vol. 8 Ch. 72 - Back and Forward

    She doesn't care anymore. It's implied both in this chapter and in the one where Satsuki tried to pay her to not come to school that she realizes that things probably would be better if she were dead. She knows she's hopeless so she's going to end it all but she's also a psychopath (in the...

    Usotsuki Satsuki wa Shi ga Mieru - Vol. 8 Ch. 72 - Back and Forward

    You poke a lion with a stick enough times and eventually the lion is going to do what lions do. If she'd just been left alone she never would have gotten to this point but Prez and her former victims had to keep poking the lion.

    Skip and Loafer - Vol. 10 Ch. 55 - Heart-thumping Ocean, Pt. 5

    I get what his character type is supposed to be but it just doesn't work because he has no charisma and thus no way to capture the reader's interest. I can't help but compare him to Gotanda from Bouquet for an Ugly Girl (since Mika is very easy to compare to Uguisudani) and, well, he doesn't...

    Skip and Loafer - Vol. 10 Ch. 55 - Heart-thumping Ocean, Pt. 5

    I really hope the author doesn't actually go with the "secondary main girl/initial love rival couldn't get with the male lead so she gets with his best friend" cliche; Mukai is such a nothing. She actually has more chemistry with Nao since Nao is, you know, an actual character and not wallpaper...

    Hagino-san Wants to Quit the Wind Ensemble - Ch. 13 - Mochidzuki-senpai is m-m-m-motivated!

    I wonder, how many of these characters have shown up in group shots or the background before their introduction? I thought I'd seen Mochidzuki somewhere before but I can't remember if I have or not. Pretty sure Fujimura (on the right in the front) and Prez (right behind Fujimura) are in this...

    Pumpkin Night - Ch. 98

    It was nice at first when it was a slasher villain taking revenge on bullies. Now I don't even know what the hell it's even about anymore aside from I guess everyone worshipping Naoko who can beat entire armies singlehandedly and also channel the dead or something. It's not even "bad" in a...

    Kiyo in Kyoto: From the Maiko House - Vol. 22 Ch. 235 - I'm Heading Out

    Maiko are apprentices, not professionals. Geisha/Geiko (geiko is the Kyoto dialect term) are the opposite though and as said can earn quite a bit of money. Maiko also work a lot as again, it's apprenticeship and training so reps are important, while a geiko can set her own schedule and work as...

    Kiyo in Kyoto: From the Maiko House - Vol. 22 Ch. 235 - I'm Heading Out

    I don't think it's ever been covered but there's a direct answer here and I'm sure it's not going to be a surprise. Since being a maiko is, essentially, an apprenticeship they're not making anything but they're also not paying for anything either as the okiya provides and pays for all of it.

    The Story Between a Dumb Prefect and a High School Girl with an Inappropriate Skirt Length - Vol. 13 Ch. 62 - The Story of the Dumb Senior and Junior…

    Yeah, they've suffered the worst by far and are about the only bad thing about the series right now. They've become completely one note with no real development or anything. Granted Tsukishima is also pretty one note but he's more of a supporting character than one tied to any of the main...

    Usotsuki Satsuki wa Shi ga Mieru - Vol. 8 Ch. 70 - Release

    I don't think it was inadvertant at all; it was very much on purpose. Komachi helped her plan it and is the one who got things rolling by telling Seo that she liked the old her.

    Usotsuki Satsuki wa Shi ga Mieru - Vol. 8 Ch. 70 - Release

    It sounds like cope on her part. She tried to be good and in the end she nearly died, nobody (except Satsuki) believed her, and Prez gloated to her face as she was dying that she was irredeemable trash getting what she deserved. She wanted to be good but nobody was willing to give her a chance...

    Anemone is in Heat - Vol. 6 Ch. 34 - Valentine's

    Uda deserves better than Riri at this point. This series has honestly been pretty paint by numbers in how the plot is progressing so I fully expect that it'll go the "Riri realizes that Uda was always there and comes to appreciate her" route but this is honestly one of the few times I wouldn't...

    That too, we know as much about him as we do Mitsumi's kouhai or Tomoe.

    Skip and Loafer - Vol. 10 Ch. 54 - Heart-thumping Ocean, Pt. 4

    Author-san... two volumes of this Shima stuff is enough for the moment. Please, please, please spotlight the girls again! The last time any of them really got focus as actual characters was I think right before the mountain climb. Even that chapter that ended with the rainbow jump was still...
