Aww sweet, Blue Archive! I never heard of the game, but if Mizu-Sensei is doing a series about it then I gotta trust her taste. Now let’s look it up a-

The game is free-to-play with gacha game mechanics as a means to obtain new characters.

BA legit unite under the 😭 flag.

If you ignore the 😭 though, it's still a really good story about how kids should be kids, and how the adults should make a safe environment for them. They always have fun trying out new things but they also make a lot of mistakes, and the adults should be there to guide them through life.

I don't play Blue Archive, I'm just here for cute shenanigans from the Aharen mangaka. So, aside from Midori's untucked shirt and Momoi's ribbon, are there any other ways to easily tell them apart in black and white?

EDIT: Oh, and their hair parts in different directions, I guess?

Another difference is that Momoi have black suspender over her shirt whilie Midore don't have one

 

[Lurius]

Ooh this got translated quick.

If you're unfamiliar with Blue Archive and is reading this because of the author, I highly suggest reading/watching the GDD's in-game story chapter. It's mostly self-contained compared to the rest of the main story, plus it serves as a prologue of sorts to this manga.

Momoi wears skirt while Midori wear shorts

Whats this I hear about Blue Archive is a game that attract pedo?

Whoever said that to you needs to have their storage devices checked

Yup, the ones who are loudest about condemning pedos always end up on the news convicted for child sexual abuse related crimes for some reason.

yuuka chan kawaii

Well that was unexpected. Unlike the Problem Solver manga where Sensei is portrayed as a bespectacled, handsome man, the GDD manga portrays Sensei as a big, buff but silent guy.

I wonder if another Blue Archive spin-off manga gets serialize, will that manga portray the sensei as a woman? (Since the game makes the Sensei's gender ambiguous by calling the sensei "Them/They" and the Blue Archive anthology manga has portrayed the Sensei differently not only in looks but gender as well.)

Thank you for the translation. Good to see the sensei role in this manga is not overwhelming, though his appearance is😂

You can start now if you want. The characters levelling is a bit pain at start as it scales by player's (sensei) but you can catch up with veterans soon enough, the hard cap is stuck at lvl 87 for a while now. They really let you blow through story missions except for event challenges which is actually tough.

They make money by NOT giving the pickup characters though, if you want someone, do it with intention to spark😂

I doubt we'll ever see a female sensei, since most of the fanbase recognize sensei as a male and that's even encouraged by the developers (like some media like this and some situations in game that don't make sense if sensei was a female)

I've seen a good bit of female sensei art tbh

 

[rllywhydidu]

Aizen-sensei for the PS68 manga, now Machio-sensei for the GDD manga... I wonder what Sensei the Make-up Work Club would have if they got a manga... hmm...

 

[enemyoftorn]

It’s a game where the player character helps the girls make a path to a better future

Sounds like a fancy rewording by a community of groomers.

Sensei never dissapoints.

Blud's built like a Baki character

Momoi have looser jacket while Midori is on her shoulder (also she wore spats)

Mama Yuuka to the rescue
