I very much look forward to this one being translated from Japanese raws instead of Chinese translations.

It looks like this group just didn't translate them because Jaimini's Box already did chapters up to 168. So they just skipped to the latest chapter they could snipe on.

At this point, I'm expecting a "Chika blows up" chapter any day now. There have been hints of it for ages.

I mean, the signs are all there:
  • Kaguya has replaced her at the top of her personal friends' totem with the Pres and Ishigami (and possibly the Pres' Little Sister)
  • The Pres has all but become her child, which stresses her to no end, causing her to gain weight, which further stresses her.
  • Ishigami doesn't respect her
  • Iino seems to be growing closer to Ishigami and the Pres at the expense of having her at her beck and call.
  • Maki and Nagisa seem to be growing closer to Kaguya when it comes to being actually helpful wrt her relationship with the Pres
  • One of the retired ramen kings talked smack to her face!
Where does it end? Poor Fujiwara doesn't deserve this kind of shabby treatment!

Fujiwara should be glad that they're casually including her in the conversation. Doesn't that means she's on the in-group?

With one hand he saves gebs. With the other he commits goblin genocide. A true neutral.

I was wondering where Ishigami was from his inceldom.

What will be the final straw that breaks Subject F?

Kashiwagi gets her threesome and Kashiwagi's boyfriend knocks up Maki.

Where does it end?

I’m not sure where it ends, but the ending begins with the tabletop gaming club involved in an international incident

So have they already had the plot with Hayasaka kissing Fujiwara? Feels like if they did, they must have comparitively glossed over it.

Yeah it wasn't actually that long a story, Fujiwara was talking about being lonely and Hayasaka jumped on her.

I honestly don't see the manga going for much too long, what with the Pres and Kaguya (potentially) going to San Fran, so yeah, likely that they're going to revisit a potential Ai x Chika pairing.

Lol, saw an edit/joke translation of that fujiwara backing away page where someone vulgarly emphasized the fact that they were talking about ntr, and had fujiwara say 'I seem to have accidentally entered the ntr club' while leaving.

You assume that Kaguya Love is War won't go into college with branching off into American and Japan side-series. Do not underestimate our god.

Oh, don't get me wrong: I could (and would!) follow this adorable cast of gently caress-ups for years to come, but I'd honestly prefer if Aka ends this when it's on top of things.

Which is why I think Aka treating Kaguya post-graduation like Jojo arcs would be optimal. And he might do just that.

Kaguya will continue running forever.

In 2049 we'll be reading the saga Kaguya's 9th child entering high school and getting HOW CUTE'd by Ishigami and __Iino__'s child in the stuco while Principal Fujiwara drops in every so often.

Agreed, it's actually the best gag in the entire series. Kind of a shame it happens so early.

Aka has said School Rumble was a major influence on Kaguya, btw.

It's between either that one or Flag faction for me. Which means that one of them luckily came true for me.

And Tenma can have Karasuma and gently caress off, I guess.

Also, I just realized that both series have a character who's basically a parody on your standard romantic comedy MC. The difference is that Kashiwagi's boyfriend went further with his girlfriend than your typical romcom protagonist ever does, while Nara never gets a chick.

I just remembered that incredibly quick gag that Tenma can easily bend spoons with her mind but doesn't think it's impressive because she can't read minds like her sister.

School Rumble was good.
