Once again, Lily has destroyed a confirmed yuri route in her pursuit of a possibly non-existent one. Then again, she did give her Kanoko a photo of Iori. But that's not going to restore the Iori x Kanoko route she blocked so long ago.
Kinda wish the new alien was actually called Bijou. Anyway, yeah the main couple gets along well now and won't kiss until the status quo changes, which means giving Yurikawa a girlfriend is the right move, maybe this will develop all the couples.
I knew we'd get around to a kidnapping plot eventually. Impressive how this manga gets progressively funnier with each chapter. "Whatever, I'll eat her out" had me dying.
