Thank you for your work!

If you had to pick any page to explain to a new reader why this series doesn't work it would have to be Page 4

The comedy in this chapter was, once again, not very good, bordering on painfully unfunny. I'm doing something I almost never do and dropping this series after this chapter, my patience has run out. Clearly this one is not for me.

Wow, the Villainess is dedicated. I can see how her title fits if that's her crisis attitude.

This mission structure is so weird, since it leaves a lot to chance. What if the dear Affectionist is not into girls? (She is.) How can this be called a school? The worldbuilding is only a shell for the enjoyable drama at this point but I really want to see it make sense. (Rarely does.) Either the religious school promotes lesbian families or they expected most people to fail and won't kick them out anyway.

Maybe because it's not a comedy? There isn't even a comedy tag right now. The dialogue is closer to psychological drama, and the occasional goofy art rounds off the edges. Your call makes sense, but I'm surprised you kept those expectations until 6 chapters in.

Thank you for the translation.

Thank you for the chapter.

Longest First Chapter Of All Time!

I still await what little seductive tricks our "Villainess" has in store...

I don't think the story knows what it wants to be, I was waiting in the hope that it eventually figured it out. I didn't really have any expectations aside from that. I think I stuck around so long since I loved her False Marigold so much and that gave me some misplaced hope.

Despite the lack of comedy tag, I would argue the story does have comedic elements, a heavy dash of slapstick with a little undercooked manzai. The opening sequence of this chapter when MC tries out some failed seduction strategies from a pickup artist book is a good example of the author attempting comedy and it falling flat for me.

My reasons for dropping boil down to the story not having strong enough characterization to work well as a comedy or drama and the high concept having already worn out my curiosity since the author seems determined to do the least interesting things with the premise. Six chapters for the story to truly begin and she wasted most of those pages.

Now we're getting hype. Time for her to turn into a yuri Keima from TWGOK.

 

[Makore]

It's so twisted and silly that I somehow get into it. Maybe because I have such good memories of my group dynamics classes from last year and, just like the characters in this manga, I mostly work in my internal struggles. Personally, I'm glad that this series is not going through "your typical romantic school drama" for the millionth time and actually tries to get deeper into the role "aspect" or gimmick whatever you prefer to name this. You wouldn't see a school using a "role" focused method to evaluate their students. At a first glance it might seem like a really crazy idea on paper, but in practice it could be an effective way for people to expand themselves.

Schools has prioritize so much the "academics" that these sometimes forget they're treating with people not tools. In Japan (and other asian countries) it's a big reality that your notes DEFINES both your university and work opportunities, they're pushing so hard making ppl to live for work instead of work to live...

it took 6 chapter for the premier to finally kick in

Married and be a family
Problem solved

 

[Colonel-Picquart]

Hanako sure is persistent I'm intrigued to know how she's going to seduce Nanase, though I suspect putting in the effort to get to know and support her means Hanako is already like 95% of the way there.
Still not sure about the 'Villainess' translation though

thanks for the chapter!!

I was a bit shocked and disappointed that we got the whole class' roles immediately in page 3, but I quickly got intrigued by how some roles are clearly the VERY opposite of some girls, and yet some seem to fit them to a T? I wonder who chose their roles and why did they choose that, and do girls who fail their missions really got kicked out of school?

My assumption is the school is likely trying to force them into growing to reach their potential or make up for parts that they’re weak at. I imagine the threat of expulsion is real but probably a case of “close enough is fine but the effort has to be made”.

Or I’m way off base and some dudes just throwing darts at a board.

I'm becoming convinced that this school is some sort of fucked up social experiment or cult. Think about it, the "students" are all orphans with no connections to anyone outside the "school", who are psychologically manipulated to alter their identities and value systems and are controlled by the threat of expulsion from the only institution that provides them with care and connections to other human beings. I kind of hope that the cops just bust in at some point and rescue this poor bunch of kids.

What’s actually happening: “We are having an epidemic of useless lesbians! We need to find a way to get these little dumbasses to admit their feelings. Quick shove them into archetypes and force them to rely on eachother, this will definitely work guys.”
