Warui ga Watashi wa Yuri ja nai - Ch. 49 - Summer Festival (9)

[MsW0lf]

Right so place your bets, is the clairvoyance:

a) The threat of the delinquent upperclassmen is greater than we realised and manifesting itself as a terrible aura?

or, b) A new supernatural threat that is yet to materialise in the plot?

And I know we love to make jokes about Toudou being the “ultimate womaniser”, but she’s not. She’s now just a good person and good communicator. Which ultimately is how you ACTUALLY get the ladies!

 

[SatchelBagman]

Maybe it's just because I hadn't been putting names to faces to relationships, but it occurred to me only this chapter that wow, Yomotsuka really just collected a bunch of bird names for her posse, huh?

 

[Shtoops]

I kinda miss Itsumi being a slimeball. She's too nice to everyone these days, she's not self serving enough.

 

[LoveableLandstar]

There is a dwarf girl in Page 8.

I am pretty sure she's just squatting.

I mostly agree. I like her turnaround but there should be more self destructive spite.

 

[Kyoumades]

That panel on page 8 is wild with the weird background characters. I hope spiky octopus hair girl becomes a recurring character

 

[Zolsoh]

Toudou really has become just the ultimate womanizer
it's like she used that potion so much that her body started producing it or something lol

It’s been so long I forgot that was the starting plot lmao

 

[TanyaTheEvil]

That was an awesome chapter. I like the panel where Toudou says, "call me on the phone, message me on line, you say whatever the hell you want about it to me"...
Thanks for the chapter and translation. Also, it was good seeing another chapter of my favorite manga

The bottom right corner of the last page, perfect.

A supernatural threat? Just in time for the Kagaya Inn Arc.

I really like this series and I want to know where it goes, but Toudou has become a bit of a Mary Sue in this arc...

She's just going around and solving every problem in record time, often just by talking it out and having a new girl fall for her. And then everyone praises her for being so amazing.

This whole chapter didn't really need to happen or add much to the story. It was just tacking on some minor drama to one of the many background characters so TD could come in and solve it.

This is still my favorite yuri manga, but I hope they calm down on the MC being lesbian Jesus... (I would totally read a literal lesbian Jesus manga though)

Edit: thanks for the translation! You guys are genuinely doing a great job 👍 👍

This manga was so stupid when I first started reading it what happened.

A key thing for me when reading and translating Itsumi is looking at why she's the hero of this story, especially with everyone having their own stuff going on.

Watch with this chapter as even when she is presented with Kazamaki as being in the wrong she instantly hones in on the fact that Kazamaki is in the process of losing her friends and being isolated. Itsumi never cares about who's in the right, she cares about who actually has power and who doesn't. She pretty much calls out Nekawa's hypocrisy to her face when she tries to rationalise why Itsumi talking shit is okay and Kazamaki talking shit is bad.

Notice as well the way the rumours being spread about Itsumi aren't malicious because they're "false", they're malicious because the intention is to make someone's social life harder.

While I miss the early love potion shenanigans as much as anybody, I really do like what's being done with Itsumi as a protagonist and the rest of the school as a collection of social dynamics.

anyone else getting kinda tired of all the lecturing from Toudou? this arc has been nothing but that.

She's back ! and she's beautiful, I love her

 

[IbnAurum]

Holy rizzler

Mochi Au Lait is really good at making designs distinct, I'm always surprised when somebody comments that they can't recognise or remember the characters. Surely that's a good excuse for a reread!

Recognising and remembering are two different things. It's not difficult to recognise a character when they all (generally) have distinct character designs, but people not remembering minor characters from dozens of chapters ago should not come as a surprise.

If you're going through the series on a first read/re-read then of course it'll be easy to remember characters, but if you're actively reading it the general reader is simply never going to remember characters that have appeared a handful of times at most tens of chapters ago when chapters are releasing once a month or less.

And, unrelated to that, I will say I agree with others about the current goings on in the latest arcs. It's gotten more than a bit tired at this point with essentially the same plot point happening over and over again with the same resolution, I miss when things were simpler. Hopefully when this arc ends the series can at least go somewhat back to its more casual storylines because it's been 3 arcs straight of this stuff.

 

[Roodypatooti]

The way Yomotsuka and Banryuu are so obviously dating but just not publicly acknowledging it
