See, this is how you do a battle royale-style story properly. I've always liked the subgenre, but it sort of requires the protagonist to be a complete wet blanket.

Fortunately, Snow White is sort of a non-character, so we can actually watch the other characters get on with the murderin'. Like, this was a genuinely great twist, with Tama taking out Cranberry. It's the equivalent of a really lucky shot, just some bad luck.

This. This is probably one of the best battle royales anime has to offer. Power levels aren't over the top and the cast was pretty varied and fun. Some really good twists too. I would have never thought cranberry wouldve gotten killed by tama of all people.

I have the feeling that SwimSwim is the best written character in a long time. A villain who should be hated to death by what she did and how she did things, but is still so innocent and childishness.

There were attempts made in other anime to pull something like this, but it always resulted in boring, shittily written "psychotic lolis".

But Suimu-chan is special. She is good. She is the Squealer of this show. She did nothing wrong.

>>150811852

Yeah, I was like: "Make holes? Your power is to dig holes? Wow, you got fucked over, kid. I could do that with a spade."

And then it turns out her power is - logically - a one-hit kill on anyone. She just has to touch you to kill you.

It's not unheard of for children to become magical girls. Cranberry became a magical girl when she was 9. Nokko-chan became a magical girl when she was 4. Prism Cherry became a magical girl when she was what, 10? Magical girls are typically created when they are children. Adult and animal magical girls are less common.

>>150816034

Ha ha, nope. It's always until just one is left. Only one time two survived.

>>150816063

Teens are the most common. Adults are more common than little girls.

Yes, but Ruler's orders are absolute to her. Killing a friend is a horrible thing, but for Swim2 compromising her own identity is incomparably more horrible thing.

Tell that to Ripple's left arm and eye.

It took Snow White about 1 year before she was able to use it properly and Swim Swim only had it for a few weeks. Its hardly a fair comparison. When Swim Swim would have gotten competent with the weapon over time.

Swim Swim only deserves the credit for Ripple's eye, the arm Ripple did to herself.

>>150823227
And that's your and Nemurin's mistake, since you have a romantized image of "being a princess".
You merely see a princess being some sort of high-ranked luxury child-breeder for some prince, but based Suimu-chan is red-pilled enough to realize that the position of being a Princess is a political one first and foremost.

And in politics, you have to fight for your survival, or else your house of cards will crash upon you. The more ruthless, the longer you sit on your throne.

>>150823227
To be a princess she needed that her and her people survive the death game.

>>150815444
>ambitions
It was literally just autism. Swimswim decided to do it solely because of Nemurin's suggestion, she was plain not cut out to be a leader. At least, not yet.

If only Nemurin had suggested she marry the princess instead.

Nigga what? There is no 4th Mahou Shoujo, there are only three left.

Can someone here spoil me of what the fuck this deathmatch all about?

The same thing probably happened to Nemurin, but we didn't get to see her face (plus the fact she died peacefully in her sleep).

>>150823404
There's an exam for recruiting mahou shoujo but the examinator got all bored and decided he would make it a bloodbath instead.

>>150823227
You have literally no idea how vicious and cruel court-politics are.

For all purposes, SwimSwim is a Games of Thrones character who has lost her way and entered a magical girls anime.

And this makes her great. All Hail the Princess!

>>150823404
Fav did this death game for shits and giggles, that is literally the reason.

>>150823452
I wouldn't put Game of Thrones as an example of sanity or plausability.

>>150823227
Dude not all princesses are like the Disney ones you know.

>>150823448
Literally no purpose behind it and just some plain violence for someone to enjoy?

>>150823503
This. Princess Quake and Tempest are pretty level-headed and Inferno's a bleeding heart liberal.

>>150823509
For the battle royale in the anime, yeah. Typically, selection exams are REALLY peaceful and don't involve any ill will toward any of the participants. Heck, one girl passed her exam because she was the only one who showed up, so they definitely don't take weeks to finish. How they're conducted, how many are screened, and how many pass are all up to the test administrator though.

>>150823503
What what kind of stupid princess gets all her subjects DEAD?
Even fucking Vlad Tepes didn't resort to violence and killing someone for every single problem and conflict he confronted. Even though he did for far too many of them.
You can't maintain a kingdom just with blood. And a grade schoolers shouldn't be coming up with death as the answer for everything.

>>150823509
Hey, the author was too exhausted after coming with with MAHOU SHOUJO+BATTLE ROYALE. Coming up with reasonable excuses is hard.

>>150823444
Nokko-chan was a magical girl at the age of 4.

>What what kind of stupid princess gets all her subjects DEAD?
Deluge.

>>150823707
That's a toddler, not a baby.

>>150823227
You do know that "Princesses" are basically the female counterpart of "Princes"? And "Princes" are Kings (at least in the German nobility), ruling over large lands and only "subject" to the Emperor (and in many cases, they even elect the Emperor and tell him to fuck off if he orders the Prince to do something against his interest).

In short; Princesses are basically Female Dictators.

>>150823680
>And a grade schoolers shouldn't be coming up with death as the answer for everything.
those shit are the most vicious humans you cant meet

>>150823763
And dictators like to dictate over people and bolster people to their side, as well as subjugate opposition, not kill opposition, kill allies, kill subject and basically kill everything that might breath in your general direction.

>>150823870
Well, it is not unusual for dictators to kill not only their enemies, but also their allies after having achieved their power.

The "keys to power" during ursurpation/revolution arent the same keys that is used for maintaining said power after the successful ascendency to power.

>>150811902
"Thank You, Hime-sama"

>>150823870
Nobody tell you that Swim Swim is a great ruler.

>>150823942
But she already usurped dumbass. She kept the people useful to her around. A leader that goes around killing their useful subordinates for the smallest thing is just asking to get overthrown. I mean hell, they killed Rulah just for being kind of a bitch.

>>150824016
Well, that's kind of what I'm arguing for. That she has taken it to unneeded extents and is an idiot for it.
Ruler was a whiny wannabe was she was still doing better.

Jesus, I want to hate Swim Swim for killing Tama.
But after they went deeper into the story, I don't know if I can hate her either.

FUCK.

>>150824043
No, she didnt successfully win the war yet.

Tama was a security risk for knowing her real identity. Which is similiar of your most trusted general knowing that you arent actually the legitimate heir to the throne and thus has a trumpcard over you in case your relationship sours.

Remember, as a dictator, you basically can trust noone. Especially not your allies.

>>150823509

There is actually far more.

Land of Magic has various factions competing with each other. Some magical girls think the entire system is rotten and needs to be changed. Some saw Cranberry's tests like the best way to find strongest girls who could destroy or change the system. This is the main reason why Cranberry was allowed to do her shit for so long. She has a bunch of secret sympathizers. And there is much, much more stuff going on in the later volumes.

>>150824167
She's a villain, no matter how you look at it. She killed her only friend, despite the quota of deaths being fulfilled. Even if Tama knew her identity, it was a given that she was loyal as a friend. She may be a child, but villains are villains if they know what they're doing. Swim Swim clearly knows what she's doing, so she's not excused for her crimes.

Ultimately, it's Ruler's fault for being a wicked shit.

>>150824167
All I know is that I don't care anymore. It was obvious that Tama was going to die and it's known that Swimx2 kills over the petiest stuff.

>>150824318
Honestly, seeing how Ruler treated Tama. I'm more inclined to think that she's not a bad person at all, but in fact really nice.
It's just basically how the workplace environment shaped her idea of leadership.

>>150824202
Not every dictator is Stalin. Killing now someone that could become a problem years into the future isntead of letting them be useful for that while longer is outright retarded.
And being a very bad ruler.

>>150824298
And what's exactly "the system" and why is it rotten? Are magical girls just soldiers in an army?

>>150824425
>Not every dictator is Stalin
Except Stalin is considered to be one of Russia's greatest leaders of all time.

Ruler was arrogant, authoritative and power-hungry, but she still had a sense of utility and retained her humanity.
I want to say that things would have played out differently had she stayed alive, but that just menas Cranberry would have intervened earlier. But she might have come up with a plan that doesn't involve a crushed head and a ripped out heart.

>>150824476
>Are magical girls just soldiers in an army?
Foreign Relations is basically one massive army composed of Mao Pam's students and graduates, making it one of the most militarily powerful departments outside of the Homeland departments.

>>150824425
Stalin was paranoid, but that's normal for an usurper.

Just look at the history of literally every kingdom and noble house - literally everyone killed off their useful tools after taking over the throne.

You just cant trust someone who knows your weakness.

>>150824476
Magical Girl life is varied.

You can be a hero to the city you are in.
You can travel the world and punch niggers and tanks.
You can work for magical government and their various departments.
You can hunt rogue magical girls.

>>150824599
Why does such a department even have an army? Are they bolstering power for a civil war or something?

>>150824613
Why is that rotten? Is their pay that low? Are they salty about low wages? Is that it?
Or is there no actual background and the discontent is just something that popped out of nowhere to justify the existance of more bloodbaths at more places?

>>150824476

Land of Magic is pretty much just a normal country with normal politics and other standard shit going on in the background.

The problem is bitches at the top are rotten and only care about themselves. They pretend to protect Earth and humans when in reality they don't give a shit. The prison for their worst criminals in on Earth. Girls from human world are paid shit. People who stand against the system get their memories wiped.

>>150824744
It isn't that bad. They are paid shit because they don't work for it or desk worker like 7753.

It just a standard government.

That's one of the best things about this series really. LoM is not some over the top rotten empire that eats babies and strangles kittens for fun.

Whores at the top are selfish bitches, but same can be said about real world politicians and billionaires.

But just like in real world some people want a change. For various reasons. Some good, some evil.

>>150824955
I don't really think all the top people are selfish bitches.

Even Mana and fal agree there are good in the top too.

>>150824932

Nah. They talk about it when explaining the prison. If you went against LoM rules but it wasn't anything really crazy and you have a life as a human they only seal your memories and let you live as a human.

Have they explained what the game is? The cell phone one that randomly picked them, that is; why pick these random characters to just spontaneously turn into their video game counterparts?

>>150825120

Using games to select MG's is just one of many methods. They probably have some magical program running and checking magical talent of the players.

>>150825120
It isn't really random. It is a tool to measure magical potential. Not every human has enough potential to become a MG.

>Ann review

Just in case the idea of no character being safe needed to be emphasized any harder, we've got another unexpected outcome on our hands. Cranberry does manage to get the best of Swim Swim in combat, but she's killed by Tama before she can deliver the final blow. When Swim Swim finally regains consciousness, she realizes that Tama has seen her in her human form. In order to keep her identity secret, she promptly chops Tama's head off. With Cranberry out of the picture, Fav declares Swim Swim to be the new “Master” of the magical girls. She may not have that title for long though, because Ripple is determined to kill her and avenge Top Speed.

After all the upset victories and sudden deaths we've seen, the idea of Swim Swim and company taking down Cranberry isn't a huge surprise in and of itself. Thankfully, Magical Girl Raising Project is able to keep things interesting by allowing the momentum of the battle to swing back and forth a couple of times. Having Tama deliver the killing blow is in line with the show's pattern of going against conventional genre logic in the way it wraps up character arcs. Just as it denied La Pucelle the chance to play bodyguard to Snow White and had a peacemaker like Sister Nana die alone, it ignores Cranberry's desire to fight strong opponents by letting her be killed by a relatively weak minor character. It's not the biggest shock the series has ever delivered, but it's interesting from a narrative standpoint.

>>150825047
That's seem like a sentence for minor criminals.

Is it in Cherry thoughts I can't remember it.

>>150825120
1. How strong a magical girl is is based solely on magical potential. Race, gender, even species are not factors in who or what can become a magical girl.
2. The game is a creation of Fav, a cyber fairy. Cyber fairies are man-made electronic fairies created using magic designed to assist magical girls in the Human Resources department. The game is used by Fav to scan N City for people with good magical potential, and would contact and create magical girls out of those with good magical potential.
3. Based on the stats of the girls in Unmarked, all of them have at least some magical potential (none of them have as shit stats as Postarie, who was never supposed to become a magical girl), so them being chosen definitely isn't random.
4. It's not so much they become their video game counterparts as it is they unconsciously create their magical girl form, as the form and ability is based on the personality of the individual.

Ripple's farewell to Top Speed acts as the emotional core of this episode, even if it is overdue at this point. Since the show's attentions were diverted elsewhere in the immediate aftermath of Top Speed's death, Ripple gets stuck either talking to her ghost or simply hallucinating, depending on how much of an optimist you want to be. Either way, it does at least provide an obvious motivation for Ripple to go after Swim Swim, which will help keep the plot moving until Snow White finally decides to take some kind of action. On a thematic level, Ripple's elaborate transformation sequence at the end of the scene is somewhat intriguing, since it comes after she denies her own qualifications as a magical girl. Is simply looking the part enough to retain that title, even if a character is only interested in using her powers to kill someone?
Whether by design or coincidence, all three of the remaining girls find themselves in one moral gray area or another at the moment. Snow White is remaining true to her ideals by refusing to fight, but her pacifism is harder to justify now that both La Pucelle and Hardgore Alice have died trying to protect her. For all of Swim Swim's underhanded tactics, it's hard to completely condemn a character so young for trying to live up to the legacy of her mentor. If Ruler's twisted ideals are all she knows, then we can't really expect her to do anything different. Ripple certainly has all the emotional reasons in the world to want Swim Swim dead, but there's some truth behind Snow White's claim that killing her after the game is "over" qualifies as murder. If (and that's an increasingly big “if”) any of these characters make it all the way to the end of the story, they'll likely have to answer some uncomfortable questions about their choices.

Final part.

This episode moves things forward without doing anything all that spectacular, but the good news is that it's still anyone's guess how this will all wrap up. If you're playing “guess the plot twist” as you watch, I can think of a few things worth keeping in mind as we approach the end of the season. I don't think we've seen the last of the lucky charm that Hardgore Alice was so keen on giving to Snow White, and I'll be shocked if Ripple is able to get revenge in a way that brings her any satisfaction. The moment of remorse that Swim Swim displayed after killing Tama may also be significant, so it's possible that she may begin to question her adherence to Ruler's teachings. Don't count Fav out either, as that slippery scumbag is likely to have a few cards left to play. Magical Girl Raising Project has had its share of flaws and missteps, but I give it a lot of credit for being able to invite so much speculation this late in the game.

Thank you reviewer, Thank you.

I wish they had killed Alice off earlier, then I wouldn't have felt so compelled to continue until I was already at the end anyway. She was the only reason I kept on watching, seriously xD

Is Fav the viewer?

>>150824955
So given such paralelisms, are the bloodbath-mahou shoujo more akin to IRA or ETA? Because that's the only kind of insanity that I can find plausible at this point.

>>150825047
I can't decide whether that counts as home arrest, exhile or something else. All in all, it sounds pretty sympathetic in a world where bitches like Cranberry and Fav can run free for so long.

I'd say it was. But then I remember that the episode started with her flashback so she was doomed to die anyway.

And fuck, a narrative system based on betraying expectetions by denying the climax is like saying that a newly built train derrailing at the first sharp curve is interesting from an engineering standpoint. It's interesting indeed, but it's also probably you should be working to avoid.

>>150826194
>by denying the climax
But the climax is Ripple vs Swim Swim

There kind of blood bath are quite rare in this world actually, most magical girl spend their life peacefully and don't even fight properly most of the time.

>>150826056
>are the bloodbath-mahou shoujo more akin to IRA or ETA?

It's not like they are from one organization. They have different motives and goals.

>>150826194

Cranberry could never be the final battle since she would just murder everyone.

We are getting a great final battle unless they run out of money.

>>150826056
>So given such paralelisms, are the bloodbath-mahou shoujo more akin to IRA or ETA? Because that's the only kind of insanity that I can find plausible at this point.

Pfle is basically Al-Zarqawi. She's on some fucking Al-Qaeda shit man.

>>150826345
So they're just wackos that want to "change things" by themselves and in their own twisted logic killing unrelated people is the means to achieve that?
Terrorist organizations sound more glamurous than crazy mass shooters.

>>150826342
Well, most people in The Real World live their life without shooting anyone. I hope.

>>150826545

No. They are a varied group. Some follow ideologies, some think they are doing necessary evil for the right thing and some (like Cranberry) are just fucked in the head and like killing people.

>>150826740
And the weakest of all ended up being the first/adapted story

>>150826820

That's normal. Author got much better after the first story.

>>150806115
I want to kill Swim Swim.

>>150827037
I shouldn't be surprised, considering how many hundreds of shitty LNs can live in the same space and get an naime adaptation. Not being yet another chuunibyou battle harem series must be an advantage as well.

At the same time, those terrorists seem like a desperate attempt at keeping a dark tone in a setting that hardly conforms to it.

>>150827095
I want (You) in prison.

>>150827314
For stopping a mass murdered from running wild?

>>150827279
To be fair, the terrorists are more radical reformists and rebels than actual terrorists.

>Cranberry gets taken out by Doge
FUCK YEAH, I KNEW THAT WOULD BE USEFUL IN COMBAT!
>Swim then frags her because that's what Ruler would do
FUCK SWIM SWIM, I KNEW YOU WERE SHIT!

>>150827403

Naw, they're legit fucking terrorists that commit indiscriminate mass murder. Did you even read the LNs?

>>150827392
By killing them? Yes

>>150827518
Obviously those were all justified killings and unfortunate accidents.

>>150827551

Keep telling yourself that Pfle

>>150827541
How are you supposed to stop her from taking more life if she can transform into fucking water then?

>>150827403
But terrorist groups usually aren't just a group of nutjobs, at least not by concept. They want to force some changes into one or several governments and they do so by exerting violence on people located at key power positions and on monstly unrelated masses of people to intimidate and force said governments to comply with their demands.

So yeah, if these radical reformists are both killing authorities AND people that hold no power whatsoever to reach their ends, then they're fucking terrorists.

>>150827572
Take away her henshin device. Or her weapon.

No thanks, I have realized I just really want to see her dead. First time I have felt like this with a loli.

>>150827700
Well, she killed several other lolis and destroyed a canon lesbian couple, it's just not worth keeping her.

She also killed a loli lolier than her that was sympathetically misunderstood as creepy.

>>150827793
Wasn't the only loli she killed Alice?

>>150827700
Then my point remains >>150827314
>>150827793
>loli lolier than her

>Swim Swim 7 years old.
>Alice 13 years old.

No.

>>150827855
To be fair, Alice looks about the same age despite being older.

>>150827896

Tama also looks more loli than she is.

>>150827852
Depends on what you consider Tama. Which was an ally kind to her so that makes it all the worse.

>>150827896
And her mahou shoujo form IS a loli, unlike Swimswim's

>>150827855
Okay, I will accept prison as long as SwimSwim dies like the little bitch she is.

Autism² a shit. A SHIT.

>>150827896
Except in reality Alice is nearly twice as old as Swim Swim.

>>150827969
Fair enough. If you're that determined I can't stop you.

>>150823227
no man no problem

>>150828088
And yet she's not a bad person inside, she just does terrible things. It almost makes her harder to hate. Almost.

>>150828165
More like she has no morals. Or that her objective is SO above her morals that she doesn't even consider an alternative path to have both.

Ruler could've done it better.

>>150828112

She's a natural born killer. That's why Alice saw her father's eyes in her before dying. Swim Swim's always interprets things in a way that gives her an excuse to off someone, like Nemurin's innocent encouragement.

It's like Fav said this episode, everyone who associates with Swim Swim ends up dying, this is not a coincidence. Girl was born for murder.

>>150827392
That's CM not Swim2, she didn't kill people randomly.

>>150828224
I'm honestly not even sure she knows what morals are. I don't buy the whole "doesn't understand death" angle but she clearly isn't working with any concept of right, wrong, or muh honors. I wonder what she'd be like with La Pucelle or Snow White as a mentor rather than Ruler.

>>150828398
I think she understands her actions but she doesn't consider whether its right or wrong, if that makes any sense.

Would electricity work on Swim?

>>150828398
>I wonder what she'd be like with La Pucelle or Snow White as a mentor rather than Ruler.
Probably still a murder machine.

>>150828493
Its a form of light, so yes it would but only if its from a MG's ability.

>>150828398
Well, for starters she understands that killing the people around her is "bad". But she's willing to do so for her objective. So at some level she must understand that she's more of a villain than a hero, but she doesn't care.

With LaPucelle as her mentor... she would probalby have thrown herself against Cranberry and died. If Calamity Jane didn't get to her first.

>>150828497
Honorable murder machines are heroes, stone faced murderers are criminals. She's the latter.

Also, do we have a "no sense of right and wrong" image for Kill Kill yet? Because we need one.

I don't know her but I'll say in advance that self-righteous isn't honorable and that those that put honor as an excuse for fulfilling their own interests are neither.

>>150828792
Imagine Snow White, but far better at hunting that she ended up having to Minority Report magical girls because she ran out of rogues, then ended up enjoying the hunt in general to the point she became a menace.

>>150828894
So self-righteous to the point that "justice" is just an excuse to cover her murdering spree.

>>150827425
Ironically enough, Ruler would not do that. Swim2 just killed her last ally that could have saved her from Ripple

>>150827279

Anon, this was supposed to be a simple Battle Royale story with the gimmick being magical girls.

Author probably never expected it to become popular and that he will be able to make an entire series.

And thank God he did because second arc is already much better than the first.

>>150829092
If Ruler really cared that much about "not being outed", she'd probably demand Tama to show her her civilian form, maybe with some extra like name and adress. And that'd be it.

But Swimswim's mind is too single tracked. Something isn't right->murder someone.

Hell, I'm starting to miss Ruler. I want her back.

>>150829457
BECAUSE you liked xer. That was all the reason they needed. Also, Snow White clearly isn't allowed to have a support structure of any kind whatsoever. It's more suffering that way.

>>150829580
Her new name should be Cripple Ripple.

>>150829457
Don't worry anon, he comes back. Just kidding he's fucking dead forever and is now a jar of ashes in his parents' living room.

>>150829196
Well, the world behind hasn't been developed in the first arc. He could have made it as shitty as he wanted. Instead he went for something more humane and close to earth... while trying to keep the dark stuff.

Either way, I stand by my claim of shittiness. As much as I anticipated them, I really wanted to be wrong about Cranberry and Fav's motivations because of how shallow and convenient they are.

Likewise, and this problem is more accute in the anime adaptation with its limited runtime, the narrative structure that forces those flashbacks to make everyone sympathetic is quite bad and just gets in the way of proper characterization. Or just wastes time.
The flashbacks for Ripple, Winterprison and Tama were a complete waste of time really. They didn't make the characters better or worse and they weren't necessary to explain anything. They were there just because everyone else was getting a flashback and of course they had to as well.
On a similar but different vein, the ones for Magicaloid or Ruler were a last ditch attempt to make underdeveloped characters more likeable before they were gone.
On the other hand, you have Top Speed's. it wans't really all that necessary since her characterization was complete and she was likeable enough, but it contextualized her motivations and words as well as adding value to the way she looked after Ripple. That was a good way to use it.

After ordering their food, their sushi was delivered to them via a conveyor belt.

“What contraption is this? Is there no respect for labor anymore?” asked Pukin.

“Conveyor belts. People in the modern age prefer efficiency as opposed to hard work. If something can be done quickly, they’d take it. You’ll find many restaurants in Japan, especially those that serve sushi, use this method,” explained Pythie, calmly eating her sushi.

Pukin grabbed her plate and began eating as well. Just as quickly, she spat some of it back out.

“Rubbish! I remembered the sushi that was made years ago were of a higher quality than this. For all your technology, you’ve hardly improved in cuisine.”

While Pukin was not pleased, Sonia was gobbling up all of her sushi. Eating it with her hands, and munching everything whole.

Am I being rused here? Are you rusing yourself anon?

Melville's Melvilles are a lot bigger than I initially thought

>>150829791
Melville? More like discount Cramberry!

>>150829924
>get puk'd and fuck shit up everywhere

>>150829924

SW is like Arya Stark without the brutal torture.

Melville, is that you?

>>150829938

Melville is a big girl.

>Implying Melville can write that good
Impossible anon, if she can't even speak well, What makes you think she can write like a normal human?

>>150829924
Well, I mean, Batman became Batman because he was useless once. It fits.

Magical Girl Raising Project: ACES
Chapter 1 (80%)

>Nothing would save her from Tch
Nah Had Tama been alive. Ripple would have failed. Swim Swim going all autistic on Tama was just so that Ripple could win.

>>150829941
Melville isn't like Clamberry

>>150829922
I guess it'll get bored eventually

>>150830093
This, Melville wishes she was half as based as Cramberry.

All those Top Speed flashbacks and Ripple talking to her in her imagination made me realize how awesome Top Speed was.

>>150829196
>Author probably never expected it to become popular and that he will be able to make an entire series.

No he didn't because if he did I'm pretty sure like with Pfle and Pythie, he would have kept Swim Swim alive as a recurring antagonist.

>>150830042

Melville isn't illiterate, anon. She's just an unbelievable redneck.

She's like the Japanese equivalent of people who wear "Three Wolf Moon" shirts.

>>150830075
Hopefully we get it tonight, I'm hyped as fuck for it

>>150830201
Translations are always slower around the weekend as Translator-kun spends a lot of time answering questions from animeonlyviewers on the episode.

Fuck off Fav.

>>150830235
true, but considering it was updated in the morning, I have hope that he can grind out the last 20 percent, I gotta devote tomorrow entirely to finals, so I hope it comes out today

>>150830201

Then you can look forward to that feeling of waiting for the next chapter.

In before chapter 1 ends on an agonizing cliff hanger.

There are anons who don't have Pechika in their top 5

>>150830164
That makes more sense, I still wanna bully her though.

>>150829711
I thought Pukin was great, but I also thought that she wore a tunic. Nope, turns out it was just a tabard with a bra underneath. How lewd, her midriff is exposed from the sides.

>>150830164
I wonder how on earth Melville met Cranberry anyway. Did she just stumble on her in the woods?

>>150811902
Fuck you, Shit Shit.

>>150830455
That's an interesting way to spell Win Win.
