Oh yeah, that's the stuff.

 

[NinjaGoemon]

You just know Hinata was thinking violent happy thoughts seeing the way she's ripping her shirt off to show off her scars. Gonna be seared in my own brain.

 

[Mangamoz]

Any more and the villain dude would have cut me too with his edge.

Geez what a party pooper.

 

[Ichaivalrose]

This was so fucking good and gay and ughh

FIGHT YOU TWO FIGHT

Dancing to imitate humans? That's silly. She can communicate—just as her family can—in the same way as humans. Heck, she looks exactly like a person except for the horns. This manga's great but I don't like this distance they seem to put between the ogres and humans. They treat them like they're so dissimilar to us that even dancing is just learned to imitate people—which is absurd. There are important differences but not to that extent. From what I've seen, ogres and humans are relatively similar, with a few key differences.

If humans weren't around would they still have the same interest in dancing, etc.? I'd say yes.

 

[Deoxyribo9]

Real drunk energy of descalating a romantic situation to go play in a jungle gym.

 

[AnOchinChin]

The Drunk oni rizz goes hard I honestly thought that she pulled her in for a kiss lmao

 

[nyannibalism]

thanks for the translation!

watch out playground there's a literal new soon to be queen in town
wish they kissed but probably better for them to be sober

Dancing to imitate humans? That's silly.

You say that, but only until you see what ogre dancing looks like. Then you'll understand.

 

[Opek.]

This is such a good story and I love the way they always solved their issues through communication with each other. Such a realistic relationship can't wait for the day they kiss or get together when I'm already squeeling and kicking my feet just watching them flirt around each other. That dance is so smooth though got me wide awake in the middle of the night

 

[Ecchan]

Naori being in the good graces of the top brass of the ogre family.
It would be hilarious if Naori was the descendant of the human who slayed the OG Shuten douji.
Two people fighting against their own faith.

Like I'd say that's kind of exactly the point being made here, they aren't so different. But the ogres cling onto their power and lineage so strongly that they refuse to view themselves as more similar than they are different.

It's not easy for a caged ogre to socialize but that's not because they're so inherently different but because of the weight of centuries of this family refusing to let its people be people, which also loops back to how positions in this family are named after Shuten-Doji's because they cannot accept that they aren't uncompromisingly on top of the world anymore.

 

[Baffled]

Just kiss already, jeez

 

[undeadclown]

Just kiss already, jeez

People seem to forget they have already kissed. Very early on. But I guess it was in a situation where they weren't sure what their relationship was yet.

 

[wlftchtr82]

definitely a better love story than twilight

 

[SrNevik]

Another fantastic chapter. Their relationship is great and filled with fight. I love the developing plot and lore around shuten-doji. It adds so much to the narrative and gives their relationship a natural impetus for advancement (making it easier to avoid typical tropes). Plus the other characters are very interesting and the pacing is smooth. Currently a favorite. Looking forward to the developing adventure

They're similar now as they are, restricted, monitored and forced to blend in but that doesn't mean they all like having to act and look this way. It seems most of them had to practice their human-like behavior at some point. Plus "looking human" doesn't mean much, since culture and values create the most difference. They have to hide their culture and act in ways they do not generally appreciate, while hiding their true forms. They're also living in places they've mentioned they would rather not. I'm sure it was mentioned that the city and this building is not their natural or preferred habitat (likely done on purpose by the humans). All to say that their differences now are likely compressed because of the circumstances.

 

[Shtoops]

Oh yeah, that's the stuff.

Aww, they're such good friends!

True, but that really isn't a high bar to clear.
