I think she also knows about time travel, thanks to a certain cute but dumb granddaughter. But yeah, I don't think she'd be the one to break Youko's secret if anyone was. At least, I hope not- that'd be a terrible ending to a cute as hell chapter.

I think it breaks down;

Everyone (meaning girls with secrets) knows about Nagisa and Shiho at this point. Nagisa and Shiho are aware of everything except Demon Principal (I think they know about time travel too at least). Youko knows about everything but Time Travel and the fortune glasses? Mikan knews everything but the Demon Principal now.

Rin probably should know everything since she's from the future, but as established people in this comic are cute and very, very dumb.

I think?

Chapter 170 is a turning point chapter that sets up the second to last arc. You won't want to miss it.

Okay, while that ending is ominous, I've got to acknowledge that great group shot on page 13. At first I was wondering why Karen looks so discouraged while all her friends smiling, but then I noticed the diplomas-- the diplomas carried by everyone except Karen. She got held back again.

I will second the Komi rec. It is absolutely adorable and I like the low key romance that is building. Fair warning, there is some weirdness in how they translated one character's gender if that might bother you.

I thought so. I'm interested to see how this creates a problem if an alien and a sexy werewolf didn't. I guess maybe other people's pictures?

I spent the entire like, 3/4s of the chapter being amazed at how cute a person Youko is. That last little bit worried me so much that I can't even think about cuteness until I'm sure it's going to be protected

Well, it also seems to be setting up a dramatic confrontation where Youko is going to be revealed to the school with all the parallels to her parents.

Still cute as heck tho.

this is just really a masterful chapter, but for some reason the thing i appreciate most is asashi hitting is head. it shows how earnest and in the moment he's being, avoids the cliché panel of a purposeful declaration and keeps with his slightly nebbish character. a great little touch

and as always i love that flashback panels are all drawn with the old art style

It's because she's always adorable. It's basically to be expected at this point. Anything else is what's exceptional.


I'm gonna second this one, and then throw in my own. If you somehow haven't read Lovely Complex yet, it's honestly one of the best, dumb, cute romance mangas I've ever read. Not sure it's still in print from Viz in the US.

Whenever he does flashbacks he directly copies the frames. Those are from chapter 2. I know because I went back to check the quotes to make sure they were exactly the same.

Honestly, I have no bloody idea. All I know is he makes it seem natural, what with his evolving callbacks. For example, the panties that Shiho keeps losing in that one Shima chapter are the same ones she wanted to buy in the "Run for the burgers" chapter.

Dude remembers poo poo.

It's not just that - the paneling layouts for like, 1/3 of the chapters are copied from other chapters. These are the chapters that directly reference those previous chapters, like the Prez confession chapters.
It's beautiful how interwoven everything in this manga is.

Yeah, rereading earlier chapters is a trip. Tons of poo poo starts super early.

Like the running gag of Shima being arrested starts in chapter 18. Its an amazing one panel background thing
