Otome no Teikoku - Ch. 282 - It wasn't you

[tvih]

Quite the bootyful chapter. Kaoru just can't keep up!

Not even remotely true. And since when was Mayoi a "dignified character" lol, she's a deranged fujoshi who happens to speak in archaic language.
Kaoru, on the other hand, took a massive fall off her pedestal, and that is probably why Mayoi's warmer towards her now.

Bo was a nerd who didn't immediately buckle to positive attention from one of the popular kids, I would have called that personal dignity.

Until now, the Bo/Kaoru plotline was that Kaoru had a bad reputation as a shallow flirt(which she was) and Bo shrugged her off as insincere. As of this chapter, Bo was actually into her the whole time and just pretending like she wasn't, and that is a tsundere retcon. (Or kuudere, technically).

Goodness that was a most amazing chapter!
Such forwardness from Mayoi was much appreciated.
Also, how lewd.
Thanks for the chapter!

At first I thought I was reading a doujinshi, what a lol and cute chapter

Go reread the BoxKaoru chapters because you've clearly forgotten major turning points in their relationship. What you're describing is what's happening in their first handful of interactions. I wouldn't fault you cause it's been a while but you're just wrong. Here's a convenient list of them: https://dynasty-scans.com/pairings/mask_x_kaoru
Chapters 174 188 and 189 are particularly important for what you're talking about.

I could have been a bit more robust with my previous comment. What we saw in 188 and 189 is what this pairings arc was, Kaoru overcoming her reputation through sincerity.
282 lessens the impact of Kaoru's big gestures and emotional appeals up to this point, because the person she was trying to get to love her apparently already has for 170 chapters.

It isn't just about Kaoru though. Kaoru had her growth moment. Mask/Bou/Mayo still needed hers. In the beginning she was denying even the possibility of romance believing the only way she could draw manga was to pour everything into it. She wasn't refusing Kaoru's advances just because she thought of her as frivolous. She thought her own feelings were frivolous as well due to her insecurities.

You're missing an entire half of the pie by ignoring that Mask had her own arc. Once she accepted her feelings for Kaoru she was able to finish her manuscript and now here we are full circle referring back to the moment they met. So, yes Mayo was interested from the start but she wasn't ready for it yet. Now she is.

Mayoi doesn't say she has been in love the whole time, just attracted. Like, she uses that exact word (pg 9). Everything after that was absolutely necessary to build trust and intimacy between the two of them.

It's time to give the booty the respect it deserves.
