So I'm like 4 episodes into this show and it's a decent watch. Yuzu is good but dumb while Mei is understandably broken but infuriating. Definitely more on the Yuzu side of things for now. I've heard good things about the manga but mixed opinions on the anime adaptation. For you manga aficionados; how does it compare?

The anime is shaping out to be better than the manga because it smooths some things about the girls' characterizations to bring them more in line with their current selves.

I'm actually enjoying this show but I kind of feel that they should have given it another pass with an editor or writer. So many of the issues that kind of take me out of the series (like the immediately resolved plot issues which were wholly unsolvable just half an episode ago, or the fact that we are apparently treating the bed as a normal thing now) could be made to work in the shows favor with just a little bit of work on the script. I get that this is probably an issue with the source material but as it is it feels like there is a potential great show hiding in a fairly decent one.

It should come in April in the meantime Volume 9 is released in two weeks along whatever bonus chapters Saburota worked during the break.

If you guys haven't read the anthology, you totally should.

Can't get enough of ambiguously consensual 14 year old lesbian incest in my anime!

Does Matsuri get character development or motivation? Cause in this first episode she's in she's just a villain causing trouble with overly complicated schemes for no reason.

I haven't watched it yet so I don't know if they're waiting to cover it later but her motivation boils down to her being an insecure 14 year old who grew up without any friends except Yuzu.

And this won't come up for a couple of episodes but if you'd like to know with regards to development, Yuzu was going to spend time with Mei despite Matsuri's schemes, and Mei firmly tells Yuzu that it's more important for her to spend some time with Matsuri instead. Yuzu mentions this offhandedly to Matsuri, who comes to respect Mei and chills out a bit.

I'd be inclined to agree, (Volume 9)save for the fact that Mei's new fiancé is a known character with an established relationship with Yuzu, who has been supportive of Yuzu and her mystery lover no less. The fact that Mei kept the ring also points to something eventually coming out of that.

vvv Didn't make the distinction. My b. vvv

Same, but also wizard battles and sword fights.

Something about this show feels really emotionally earnest to me. It reminds me of Riverdale in that sense. They hit all the predictable melodrama beats, but Yuzu is mostly socially mature enough to sort things out in reasonable ways by the end.

Nice.

I was wondering what the bracelet was since I thought other people were wearing one, but couldn't remember much of the episode other than Nina playing maestro with Sara's relationship.

This week's "anime girl version of punching each other" was very good, and Sara is a true friend.

The manga is pretty drat good on its own, but I hope there'll be a season two.
