It's done a very good job of toeing the line between absurd comedy and romance, though obviously it's focused more on the former than the latter. I look forward to any other supernatural/sci-fi creatures it can throw at us.

And the faces/expressions as well...

Also, I haven't read Rosario, but wasn't it filled with a bunch of fan service?
Yeah. Its gimmick was also that it went from "harem comedy with a spineless lead" to "Dark And Serious Hardcore Action Extravaganza with a spineless lead". Both were pretty bad; I have no idea why so many people got on board with the action phase because it was just another flavor of the same blandness.

I actually rather like the romance this time around, to the point where I even posted about the series at one point in the Shoujo/Romance thread. I think the series balances its components quite well.

Nice sidestep while avoiding that kick. I guess Asahi has developed some sort of spider sense.

That would be a bit too mean-spirited for this manga. I'm betting on Rin just calling all of Asahi's close friends granny instead. That or the split timeline thing.

This manga is really good you guys.
It's OK, manga authors, you can get your couple together at points in the story besides the ending. Don't be afraid! You could do lots of interesting, couple-y stories and everything. It could be like a thing! Pretty please? :(

I read it and then went to go link it only for it to no longer exist on batoto anymore.

It is also a good chapter if you like pigeons. And especially if you like pigeons wearing sunglasses.

Such a chapter can only be properly discussed in the form of its panels. I title this one "Truthism's equivalent of the scream of 'ultimate suffering' from the Princess Bride":

It's the reactions of abject, sheer terror that sells it IMO as hilarious rather than cringe humor.

Lots of chapters like to pick one joke and run it into the ground for the duration, which usually works pretty well, but I think I will agree that this one it didn't quite connect and/or felt a little forced after a while. Some great individual moments/panels though of course.
