Huh, the contrast between the happy "just finished shopping, on my way now" from last chapter and the really awkward interaction here made me think initially that she might be hooking up with someone else and the guy we've met is an ex situationship, but the comments (on Dynasty) seem sure it's...

The fits were pretty fire this chapter. Also love that things are out in the open for Emma.

I'm not sure what the point of that is. Authors are human, humans are imperfect, so of course their creations will be imperfect as well. But it's not like there are alternatives?

In Japan she would be taller than the average man and a lot taller than the average woman. Japan average height for men is 172 cm and for women its about 158 cm. So at 178 cm she is very tall.

It's pretty consistent with the manga in the past was. I think the difference here is that the goal isn't as obvious. Before, the goal was for them to start dating so the set ups, even if they were longer, didn't feel it because it's a much more standard route that these stories go through. But...

I think it's a combo of tall girl hates being tall and social anxiety. Being a tall girl in high school and standing out can suck majorly, but being a tall girl in a society that thinks clothes look amazing on you and you should model can be flattering. But if you're not comfortable with...

I'm not going to make excuses for the dad he's a piece of shit, however I do think this is a great example of generational, or at least cultural, trauma. Like that's how much the one child policy fucked them up. Mu Xiaoen's grandparents would have rather she died, they threatened to kill...

Aya page 1 posing like a real baddie

I totally agree with you about constraints, I was more thinking of it from a thematic standpoint. I think she does toxic or close to toxic women really well, as well as complicated mature women really well, and this story isn't really about that. Like My Female Friend Comes Home to Me Every Now...

I've also been really loving this arc, although I also really enjoyed the post prom arc. I feel like Sumiko is talented enough that I could read this for another 10 years, but every once in a while I go back to some of her other works with longer chapters and I really wish she was still doing those.

I’m cobbling together some of my in the moment thoughts for this. “I think what I found frustrating about this series is that it has the look of a serious introspective story. And I don't really mean the visuals, but I mean in the same way that there is "prestige tv" and oscar-bait films, this...

This feels like maybe they just broke up? Hard to tell honestly, but the supposed girlfriend was crying and didn't look happy, and people do sometimes kiss as a goodbye. I could see it going either way really.

Honestly, that's probably a good sign. They're in a great place physically, even if they aren't necessarily talking about everything they should talk about (or even a little of what they should talk about). This is that prime college relationship, and often early relationship, shit where you...

Could hug be translated as embrace, like with a more adult connotation? Cause I don't really see what innocence has to do with hugging.

I think she deserved that slap from Woo-hui, not from sunbae. Jiho, you're usually an adorable mess, but right now you're just a mess.

I wrote this for the previous chapter on Dynasty but looking at the comments here it applies to this as well: This chapter, 155, is picking back up on conflict points 1 and 2. It's possible that eventually all of the conflict points will converge in the college arc. Or they may not, but either...

Mu Xiaoen the woman you are! My MVP!

To be clear, I did not call anyone "a hater" I said they should "let the hate go". I know it sounds like the same thing, but there are different connotations for the two phrases. "A hater" is irrational and their hate is only in the context of bringing someone down unnecessarily. "Letting the...

I get what you mean by rival characters, and I agree I'm not a fan when they're necessary to progress. I don't think that's exactly what's happening here so it doesn't bother me but I can see how it's similar so I get being annoyed by it. I think for me it's kind of an acknowledgement that...

Rereading like the first 10 chapters or so is a totally different manga. Saotome is very different, the whole school is very different. Takae doesn't seem scared of Hanako beating her up at all. Technically Takae apologizes for chapter 1 in chapter 4, she just then immediately tries to get money...
