You're going to try ponies and you're. Going. To. LOVE. ME!!
It had better not be some bullshit Succubus thing where its all welp you are magically bound to be loyal to the person you confess to, even accidentally.

That would be dumb and bad and this manga may be dumb but it is Good!

Could that mean Shima's female side is the second great charismatic pervert? The one that's ruined the future?

It would be way funnier if , given how different Shiho's two sides were, if Shima's other side was actually a super nice, kind, and selfless girl.

I think we can safely say that a charismatic pervert is very much the opposite of whatever Shima is.

Some people consider speculation spoilers. I'm not really sure why, but I'll just usually respond with them if the original poster thought it was enough to bother tagging.

Well you spoil bits on the current chapter generally if it just came out, so the fact that another werewolf wanted to go to the fireworks is technically talking about the current chapter.

Mikan still doesn't know about Youko and vice versa (I, er, think). Otherwise, yes.

Kuromine will end up wondering why the hell he was trying so hard all these years.

He was trying really hard because up until relatively recently in the manga letting Mikan know anyone's dirty secrets was lethal.

She got asked to go in the first place *because* another werewolf had asked, is the thing. She'd put the fireworks out of her mind before then because that's evidently where things go down with Shima, then Shiragami asked them to go because a werewolf sent in a request to the help box, which reminded everyone of the fireworks and the fact poo poo goes down there. So there's another werewolf out there, and nominally she ends up with "Shima", which starts at the fireworks festival. Seeing as he's human filth and he could literally cure cancer and end all conflict on the planet and still be scum, it's best to hope there is another character in the mix. Otherwise: Bad End.

I think Shiho would've remembered that she'd told Kuromine that, though, and wouldn't have been so surprised that it was his idea.

I think it's one thing to anonymously submit a message in a moment of... not weakness exactly, but sort of like that? And another to see Kuromine actually act on it like she had subconsciously hoped.

Doesn't Shiho remember everything that Shiro does though? As far as I remember Shiro is the only one that has to deal with not knowing what's going on.

And also I don't think Kuromine would describe the situation to Youko as being another werewolf if that was the case.

While I think (and secretly hope) that speculation could come true, if there's one thing I've learned it's that the author is really good at surprises both come out of left field and feel obvious in hindsight.

So anything goes at this point.

Well, it's already been established that the principal's making a school where the 'unnatural', for lack of a better word, can be considered the norm- it's not so hard to believe that there's another werewolf running around. Hell, maybe there's a whole pack of them, along with a vampire coven, a regiment of aliens and a whole pantheon of talking glasses gods. We just don't see them because they are not cute and/or dumb, and it's perfectly reasonable that one of them would come to counselor Asahi for help.

We actually have seen the entire pantheon of talking glasses gods, on multiple occasions.

The decision to just draw the characters with enormous goddamn eyes honestly helped a lot. Also, a dedication to the silliness that this didn't really have right out of the gate.

It didn't take long for the artstyle to change from chapter one to the style we have now. It was less than 10 chapters before the artist settled on 'loving absolutely goddamn hilarious faces' instead of being all serious.

Also some of the oldest gags were still the best.

Occasionally the art jumps back into serious mode (like it did with Shiho a couple chapters ago) and it makes for a really good contrast.

The absolute very best faces in this manga are the 'frightened' faces. You can just FEEL the absolute terror and horror from them. Like this.

That page is good. The very next page had me in tears though.



Truly the maid cafe and its later Omake are the pinnacles of art.

Although.... the 'police leading away Shimada' and later on 'Police leading away Shiro' are very close to the best. But the frightened faces always get me.

EDIT : So I was reading this over on kissmanga, and I came across a really weird translated Chapter 132? mixed in with the other chapters.

The latest chapter that Kissmanga has is 127. Is 128-131 available anywhere yet? And is there a translation for 132 that isn't, well, poo poo?

132 was translated early by a bunch of 4channers who were pissed off that the translation was behind the current releases, so they took the latest chapter back then, speed-translated it, and threw it up on every site they could. It was petty and stupid and mostly now serves to troll people who read ahead and get spoiled, but the actually-good translators are finally catching up to that point so no one will have to see that garbage anymore soon.
