Momo handles the ancestor much better than Seiko by using the old carrot and stick (and some blackmail 😅)
Thinking about it, Momo's deviousness is rather relatively cute/comical for the magical girl standard. With Lilith's long dark isolation, Shamiko being almost crushed as a child by the seal...
Let's see if I got it right: Momo wrote she wanted to know more about Shamiko, then presumably banged her head against something before correcting herself?
If so, Shamiko being gullible as usual made her misunderstand and likewise miss a huge clue.
Anyway, embarrassed Momo is cute... her...
@Meijin
Indeed, the Bible's Aaron's Rod seems to fit best. It changes into several things and it's often depicted with stems and leaves (as it once budded almonds.) Furthermore, Aaron and Joshua were both Moses' assistants, so that's another link.
Anpan Staff is funnier though. 😆
So going by p14's title, is that One Talent Shamiko wants the ability to make Momo smile? At least it's something definitely attainable for her, with a bit more effort that is.
That tooth decay (from excess sweetness no doubt) fairy is too cute... A shame her interpretation was too quiet.
@FirenzeClipper It's like when they went to the movies. Shamiko counted Ancestor and bought a ticket for her, even when all the space she took was a cupholder special seat.
@BugDemon Ok then, sickeningly cute, clingy tiger and horse plushy demons coming out of the factory.
What I pictured before is my personal woe. If I hear trauma and horse/uma in the same sentence, I cannot help but being reminded of that manga...
@BugDemon
Maybe the tora-uma joke was a foreshadow (aftershadow?) and Sakura destroyed the factory cause demon tigers and horses were coming out of it. (If it's horses like those of B*****k, that would definitely be traumatic)
Cool, further development on Mikan's factory and young Momo.
So Momo used to transform with spins, skips and twinks... an archetypal magical girl transformation. I still would like to see it, might a second season or perhaps an OVA show a bit of that?
Anyway, I don't think Shamiko has much to...
Lmao. "You treat me like I squeeze lemon into everything", then proceeds to squeeze lemon into her drink. Peach and lemon does go well together but still...
They also ate that weird thing Momo made out of the egg. Anything goes for Shamiko indeed, when it comes to food.
Ancestor thrown once...
On a second read I noticed how naturally smooth Shamiko is. She is obviously not aware of it but I guess she is not a succubus for nothing.
It's a classic playbook move to first lower the expectations and then make a surprise, to maximize the effect. It may fail horribly when it's obvious but...
@yurirei
Dunno what titles KZO is talking about, but Swap Swap is also from Time Kirara Carat (and also here in mangadex). Maybe you have read it? It's a full shoujo ai. (No spoiler, it is so right from the start)
Magical girl othello? is Shamiko turning into a magical girl from being surrounded by the two of them?
... Or not, Momo has fallen already, that makes two "demon" tokens together. But maybe they should have a demon move next to Mikan before another magical girl moves next to Momo.
Anyway...
So that's the frog. The anime showed it in the ED but never introduced it.
Incidentally, maybe it's also the special attack "sunrise" arrow. If so it's an ironic name for something so toxic...
That said, the "golden tree frog" is not poisonous. Did the author/translator mistook it with the...
