Ling Lan owns and is second only to Raino.ThingOne posted:I'm really glad that being reformed doesn't actually change who the girls are, it just makes them less actively homicidal. I still don't understand what "bad" means in the context of the series. Is it evil? Rebelliousness? An abrasive personality? Being a yankee/gyaru stereotype? Some Buddhist thing? I don't get it.

Pollyanna posted:Ling Lan owns and is second only to Raino. It's whatever the writer happens to feel like it is. Compare Tsubaki, Yui, Raino, Minami and Azami. They all are (or at least were at some point) pretty lovely people but in distinctly different ways. ...I'm reminded again by how Ranna really is the least interesting character in this story. Like don't get me wrong, sometimes she's funny but her entire character is that she's entirely unrelatable for anyone due to probably being a literal demon.

The seal still affects her so she's still a bad girl, presumably because she still completely disregards the law in a fashion that could hurt herself and others. Tsubaki is/was affected by the seal and her only bad girl traits are having a foul mouth and ignoring the bullying of Rokudou.

Tsubaki doesn’t seem to be anywhere near as deeply affected by the seal as the others, so it might be a matter of degrees.

Yeah, the worse the girl is, the more strong is her attraction. Which is why Ranna is the absolute love unit.

RareAcumen posted:No one took the bait so I'm just gonna say that I don't remember this part at all. The big fat dude in the monk arc started going into a sad backstory on why he's a violent glutton and within like two panels of the flashback Ranna just full-arm socked him in the jaw out of it. Then when she was done with him she sat on the ground all happy like a puppy waiting for rokudou. It was, indeed, very very good.

Hey, speaking of that arc, how long were they training? Was it just over the summer, because for some reason I keep thinking it was a year but that makes no sense because they didn't go back to school during that whole time right?

I was actually going to post before reading the chapter that I hoped she showed up again, and lo and behold! But this seems like a one-off sadly.

Well drat, I was just about to get excited because I could've sworn she was supposed to be one of Rokudou's few friends before all this weirdness started happening and then she just... never showed up for like more than like 6 panels.

Rokudou's influence turns bad girls into good girls. But this new girl is so good that Rokudou's influence will create a stack overflow error and turn her into a super-bad girl.

Suddenly a new chapter Bait and switch got me. It seemed like the gang was trying to prepare for new first-year bad girls but suddenly a bad lady appears.

another new chapter, and it seems the prior one was indeed a one-off. shame. however, the concept of this chapter is exactly the sort of poo poo I'm into: UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES! oh, you've got a magical love-at-first-sight curse? well, better not ever go out in public again, idiot boy, or exactly this is gonna happen. if the next arc is a nightmare of horrifying mafia women and such coming for rokudou because he obliviously wandered around heavily trafficked parts of town with this absurdly powerful curse on him I'm all for it. ![]() e;fb Alpha Kenny Juan posted:Suddenly a

I caught up with the manga recently so when I saw the lady who fell for Rokudo I audibly went "OH poo poo." I'm excited for this new arc now because we might see another cool trend happening in this manga: romantic resolution for heroines that doesn't involve Rokudo theGrooseofLegend fucked around with this message at 20:22 on Dec 5, 2019 |

Are we going to see Jin and Nagori again? I mean, it feels like a pretty safe assumption that we will, in some capacity, but idk if this is going to be the Loan Shark Hunter & Sharkboy Retrieval Arc or what.

We're probably finally going to see Chiyo who was mentioned so long ago. If I were to guess, somehow the school will get sponsored by Sakura Loans and while Mama Sakura has the curse already on her, Chiyo won't based on the guys efforts. But what matters most is if Minami and Nagori don't get together at the end of this arc i'm going to be so sad. Raino is already crushed don't crush or ignore Minami too!

I get what they're doing: All the plotlines are temporarily resolved. A new year has begun. This is a good jumping-on spot for new readers. So let's reestablish the premise and characters, and then WHOOPS here's the poop coming straight at the fan.
