Has it been a year yet for Anya? Say what you will (IMO she has slowed the plot a lot), but she's doing REALLY good getting 4 out of 8 Stella stars on her first year.

I don't actually mind it, but jeez, another hostage plot? 🤔

Nice reference to Fernsehturm Berlin. I love this manga and it's setting of Cold War era East Germany.
It's fun how it has all the same issues the real East had, such as the West having better music and consumer goods, a secret police (called the SSS - that's like half again as bad as the SS!) that takes an interest in the lives of the citizens to the point of persecuting marital infidelity (apparently based on the Stasi, but even worse - no law enforcement agency I know persecuted anything of the kind, except in religious states like Saudi Arabia or Iran).

But at the same time, it has everything wrong with the real West going with it, too. Like experimenting on PoWs during the war (in real life, to the best of my knowledge, only Germany and Japan did). It has super-elite schools that require more than just passing exams, but also a family interview combined with a high society etiquette exam for the parents (the historic East took pride in its elite education being available to anyone capable of passing the exams, even children of reindeer herders from the Far North). It has super-rich hereditary nobility that owns massive industrial conglomerates.

Truly, it combines the worst of both worlds!

I don't know what these... fine people intend to do, but they are really unlucky that Yor got tickets and brought her husband and her brother along.

Yuri's faces were priceless.
Only way it could have been worse was if minors were allowed and The Stella Pretty Guardian had been there too :dogkek:

I can smell Westalis propaganda from miles away.

Five-year love plan? What in the Stalin is that? :pacman:
I guess those people at the end don't like the five-year love plan. But won't this be a good time to earn brownie points? If any of them play hero, it might turn things for the better.

Yor and Loid can't have normal dates. There's gotta be terrorist hijack or bomb threat somewhere along the way.
