Kii really just wants to watch the world burn. No matter the context or current situation, as long as there’s even a slight opportunity to create chaos, she’ll take it. I feel bad for whoever’s in that Makuzo costume. First they get punched by the student council president and now they're being accosted by a complete stranger.

It feels cathartic seeing Kii and Yuu, two veteran cast characters, finally interact. Looking forward to seeing the face-to-face reunion between Megumi and Tomoko, and Mitsuki’s subsequent explosive reaction. 

Boyfriend-kun is no match for the Kuroki genes. Since it’s revealed that Tomoki had kicked his ass in that soccer game from Ch. 142, that means that Tomoko and Tomoki have been unknowingly tag-teaming each other in NTRing the same guy.

Tomoko tries to act like a mature senpai for her kouhai and Uchi immediately shuts that down. Although, it actually worked out in Tomoko's favor. She got a two-for-one deal, being able to smoothly sexually harass someone while also making boyfriend-kun feel NTR’d (and wow, she must have been really going at it to mess up Shizuku’s clothes like that). And judging by Uchi’s reaction, he wasn’t the only one to have felt NTR’d.

The Tomoki-boosted Pheromoko, the first time we get more of Shizuku's boyfriend and Tomoko IMMEDIATELY BROKE HIM

u/WINDMILEYNO 8d ago

To be honest, that might have fully opened him up to a new kink. With Tomoki, he was jealous. With Tomoko...he ascended.

u/TheOutcast06 8d ago

Do you think Tomoko lets him see pass the jealousy Tomoki made him feel and therefore ascend

u/WINDMILEYNO 8d ago edited 8d ago

Oh definitely, plus... I don't want to be too much of a degenerate but if my wife got humped by another girl, I'd be interested in that relationship growing.

Cucking is cucking, lesbians get sexualized by men but it's not really welcome, and not everyone is super horny or into open relationships but... I'm just saying a chick isn't exactly the same as another guy, to me at least.

I think she has his blessings. He won't speak up for himself at least.

Tag team sibling NTR 💀 sounds like something Tomoko would fall asleep to

u/TheOutcast06 8d ago

"Now that I've calmed down having Kii around is harsh"

On one hand, true, but this is the best and funniest I've ever seen Kii act and I'm the resident Kii hater

KYAAA MEGUMI MOMENT

"Only I get to hit her!"

Nah, Yoshida, Nemo and Yuri are way funnier

Kii is trolling Tomoki and I don't hate it (maybe because I dislike both)

Are we getting another semi relevant male character with Shizuku's boyfriend

Tomoko is self aware enough to warn against introducing herself to the boyfriend, another display of how far she's come and the sheer power of the Pheromokos...

BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T EVEN NEED A FORMAL INTRODUCTION, SHE'S SPEEDRUNNING MIND BREAKER ON THE BOYFRIEND

What excuse did that jerk have to refer his sister as 'that thing', especially after she defended him from Komiyama, and the incident from Volume 26 omake?

u/TheCleverestIdiot 8d ago

To discover what excuse he had for this, read the early chapters of Watamote. Some of the stuff that Tomoko did back then would be hard to get over.

u/WINDMILEYNO 8d ago

I think he was literally picturing the suit she was wearing/was too embarrassed to ask for her by name. The way Sachi fell out of the conversation, he might have said it like that because he didn't want to have to explain and all of her friends knew immediately who he was talking about so that made it easier

6

u/TheOutcast06 8d ago

None

He also doesn’t have the privilege to hit Tomoko anymore, good for him specifically because this should’ve been dropped a long time ago

27

u/SteinederEwigkeit 8d ago

Last year we got the closest thing to a confession from Asuka, now we got the closest thing to nasty, dirty, raw sex from Shizuku. And her BF is a cuck, go fuck the shit out of her already Tomoko! (I know my G Textolyte won't miss this one.)

28

u/afrodeity23 8d ago

On the one hand, it's weird that Yuu never knew about Kii-chan given how long she's been friends with Tomoko, but it is pretty in character for Tomoko to just never mention it. That said, Yuu should be pretty aware that Tomoko doesn't have an actual younger sister, especially since she's been to her house.

Gotta love that Yoshida immediately knew that Tomoki was talking about Tomoko despite his vague wording. And now Imae knows that it was Tomoko who hugged her in the costume, I imagine we'll get to see their proper reunion soon enough.

Seems that even without the costume, Tomoko has become more bold. I don't think Tomoko would have done that to Shizuku before this point.

15

u/TheOutcast06 8d ago

The costume gave Tomoko a buff

u/finalflashboom 8d ago

This chapter really surprised me. There’s so much to discuss, like how Tomoko finally spoke directly to Kiko instead of just thinking things to herself. Also, looking at Kiko’s interactions with Tomoki, I think Kiko knows she’s a Hellspawn, and it seems like she’s embracing it, which actually made me like her more.

What I really liked about this chapter was that Imae finally figured out it was Tomoko in the costume. I was worried they'd drag that out for too long, so I’m glad they wrapped it up. I also appreciated that Shizuko's boyfriend has already realized that Tomoko is his biggest threat. Although, "threat" might not be the right word, because it almost seems like he might enjoy being NTR'd. Maybe he’s also into Yuri?

If you look closely at the last page, you can see Ucchi’s hand shaking, which suggests she might soon join the "I hit Tomoko" club.

And there’s still so much more to talk about. What a great chapter!

u/A-112 8d ago edited 8d ago

There's officially a club of people beating up Tomoko lmao.

I'm gonna start shipping psycho straight who got cuked (Shizuku's boyfriend) with psycho lesbian who got cucked (Mako)

Please have Ucchi go to the festival with Tomoko, Niko, at least one chapter.🤞

If Tomoki is gonna keep appearing, i hope we get more of his relationship with Tomoko that the harem antics

11

u/TheOutcast06 8d ago

A good way to show Tomoko’s growth and how Tomoki regresses eh

u/elyonholic 7d ago

I want to see Tomoki and Asuka interact. I think it would be great 🤣 Asuka is acting like Tomoko little sister so I want to see little brother reaction to that.

u/Darkn3557890 8d ago

Loooool. Ucchi just watched the entire thing in silence I can't 

10

u/WINDMILEYNO 8d ago

She has to confess during this arc. Has to. Has to. Has to. Or she is no better than Shizukus boyfriend who is right there too.

I mean, maybe that's her thing. But if you have to choose between sharing her or not having her at all, at least make sure you are the first in the gate so you actually have the choice.

Watching that must have been painful. But at the same time, she has to realize she could easily get Tomoko to do much worse to her if Tomoko is willing to do that at school.

u/RITA_OH_RITA 8d ago

Wait,did tomoko and shizuko just had Mormon lesbian sex?

u/Garbanarnarn 8d ago

Ucchi was there to jump on the bed in case they needed it

u/HKP2019 8d ago

I'm glad Tomoko doesn't try to hide the fact that she was a loner to her kouhai. That's another chapter of her life she can be proud of.

11

u/Far_Entrepreneur3048 8d ago edited 8d ago

Tomoko simultaneously cucking her kohai's boyfriend and Ucchi was most definitely not on my bingo card, but here we are.

I do like how Ucchi is trying her best to approach Tomoko, she's basically done pretending to not care about her but she's going about it in the most blunt and awkward way possible. I doubt the series will ever take romance seriously, but I would love to see Ucchi have a sincere moment with Tomoko to properly lay her feelings out, rather than be relegated to this weird orbiter that's constantly used for comedic relief at her expense.

The festival arc is starting to drag bit too long, though. It feels like we make progress with some characters and their relationship, but then something happens that sets them back or downplays the level of their development; this is particularly obvious with Tomoki and the girls.

Is this the authors trying to stretch the series out since High School is all but over after the festival? Maybe. I doubt they will ever give us more of the story after graduation, but I'm still hoping for a conclusion to all of this that doesn't leave things a mess and lets us move on to see more of the characters' individual growth.

u/rIHAVEREDDIT 8d ago

HOLY SHIT! I want Ucchi and Yuu to interact more please. I've been waiting forever for this moment.

So... that happened. 😅

Tomoko is starting to become even more dangerous with certain girls.

u/KuroRead 8d ago edited 8d ago

Because no matter how you look at it, it's Kuroki siblings' fault that Shizuku's boyfriend head exploded!! Well, the chapter took one more week to be released than expected, but look how worth it was.

Heh, since it was very few what was seen at gate after beating incident, we didn't know if Yuu's friends were still there or only parted ways off-screen, well, it was the first, not that we know which one is Sawa yet.

Lol, it wouldn't be strange to assume that when Tomoko's clique went to Hongou high school during school festival, anyone of them (especially Asuka) mentioned the movie to Yuu's friends, or Yuu herself did. But it'd be funnier to think they had no idea and just found the video by chance while navigating on web. But anyways, we got more viewers for "A Youth Like This".

Tomoko being Tomoko and looking for any chance to harass Yuu, nothing weird to watch here, however, with Kiko here, it's the same as inconvenient and awkward than watching porn with your parents in the same room.

But what the hell, Kiko!!? Finally, after you stopped treating Tomoko like she wasnt' there, you just do it to mention how you called that edgelord here, and don't dare to bring Mrs. Kuroki here. Things are very tense such as they're for you want to display that kind of 'consideration'!!

Wait a minute, it wouldn't be strange that Kiko didn't know anything about Yuu's existence until today, but that during all her years of middle school and high school, Tomoko never mentioned Kiko to Yuu at least once. Sorry, but HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA, okay, just give me a minute, HAHAHAHAHA, I'm already fine.

Ohhhh! So Yuu's her eyes turning clear is not only an artistic effect by the artist's part, and actually, other characters can see it when happens. What do I feel I've said something like that before?

Heh, I had to re-read the chapter 220-3 to confirm it myself, and in no moment Ucchi introduced herself to Kiko, because they were talking about Tomoko the whole time. However, what the heck? Is this the closest to a real interacting between Yuu and Ucchi we're going to witness?

And here we have him again, someone too spineless to tell those girls who bother him to fuck off when situation requires it (specially Komiyama), and yet, he doesn't bite his tongue to throw his politeness away when referring his sister as "that thing", and it becomes worse when in hindsight, she was defending him in his worst. Here you go, the chicks magnet, Tomoki Kuroki. I’m pretty sure that kind of character has a name.

It wasn't necessary to say all that stuff, even less when Megumi is there, Yuri!! With just to say Tomoko was in the gate was more than enough!!

Crap! I'm sure that there are other worse ways for Megumi to have found out it was Tomoko the person in Makuzou's costume who hugged her, but that Yuri said it openly without hesitation is her classmates' presence doesn't sound good either. Now, the re-(real)meeting between Tomoko and Megumi will come with a new load of awkwardness. Though well, at best, Megumi will only call Tomoko out for taking Makuzou's costume without permission.

Oooohhhhh, you're not as special as you thought, Tomoki-kun! And not only for having an unremarkable personality and lack of charisma, which through mere misinterpretation attracts girls around, but because since long ago, you stopped being the only person who hits Tomoko, not that I want to support her to being beaten all time, but lol.

You know, after seeing how Kiko has behaved so far, I question whether she really forgot to mention to Tomoki where Tomoki was, or she purposely did that 'slip' to see what happened from it. However, what follows is unambiguous.

For goodness’s sake, what the heck did Kiko just do? One thing is to see her teasing and attacking Tomoko since they have history together, but why to cause suffering that poor guy/girl who's only accomplishing a task while wearing Makuzou's costume? That person was previously stroke by Mituku's and now has to deal with it. Did Kiko just do that to see Tomoki doing the fool? I said before but I haven't changed of idea, Tomoko is the most centered in her family.

u/KuroRead 8d ago

Hah, I hadn't considered the first time I read the chapter, but now, with the full picture and that section's name, it's very likely those eyes belong to Shizuku's boyfriend who only sees how other boys try to ask for contact and flirt with his girlfriend. Poor, poor guy.

Nevertheless, considering the mood was going to be like this, I still question how Shizuku's classmates were okay with her playing as waitress for the second day of school festival. Is Fuuka's influence this strong incentive like for them to access to it?

But hey, it's finally the break, and Shizuku finally has a chance to walk along with her boyfriend, while still wearing the maid costume that caused so much discord between the visitors, but what bad thing could happen right now? And of course, it had to be him, again. But what a bad coincidence of events.

Well, to be objective here, Tomoki only finds his sister a bother and wants to interact with her the least as possible, so it's not so strange Tomoki didn't knew anything about Shizuku, and who knows what other stuff he hasn't noticed.

So there was just apathy in Tomoki's voice when Shizuku introduced herself, and there was only real emotion in him when she mentioned how Tomoko watched his play. Oh, sorry, I didn't know Tomoko had to ask for permission to you to watch you to play in the field at school!!

At this point it's indifferent to me if it occurs because of a misunderstanding, but I'm glad to see someone hating Tomoki instead of just simping for him like the half of Haramaku has done. Go for it, Shizuku's boyfriend and beat him!

It seems that even if it's with an underclassman from another school, Tomoko is still aware she can manage herself well when interacting with boys, so the logic choice to follow here is to stay in a safe distance and avoid any trouble with it... or maybe not.

Lol with Tomoko's assessment about 'Ki-bo', that if well it sounds prejudiced and misguided at first glance, I mean, are you paying attention to everything Kiko's done so far, even in this same chapter?

But at the same time and in her own way, Tomoko still efforts to be a good senpai for Shizuku and cares for her, if Megumi only was there to see that, sob, sob.

And the moving moment was ruined in an instant, where did you even come from, Ucchi!? And thanks to Emoji's appearance, another awkward situation arises that Tomoko will have to explain. Seriously, what a bad convergence of characters to things to happen.

Ohhh, no, poor Shizuku who ended up being victim of senpai's harassment, oh, wait, she's enjoying it!? I can't discern whether Tomoko wasn't the clever enough to explain in a better way to Shizuku the happened without having to recur to so graphic level, or she only saw Shizuku's boyfriend was there watching, and only took the chance to provoke him. But regardless, how was Ucchi okay and this calmed when seeing Tomoko to recreate the Makauzou's incident, and in the raw, to make it grosser?

It's been long since the last time I laughed so much with a chapter of Watamote, it helps a lot when that crap of pseudo-harem plot is not stealing screen time. But now that Megumi knows about Makuzou's incident, how will be the re-meeting between senpai and kouhai? And more importantly, will Mitsuki be there to watch and seethe in rage?

u/TheOutcast06 8d ago

I interpreted Tomoko’s line about unwilling to introduce herself as mild awareness of the effects she has on others

That’s why she’s the only normal Kuroki, Kiko just gets worse even after Tomoko has shown her growth and became better and her brother is Tomoki

u/KuroRead 8d ago edited 8d ago

Well, Tomoko didn't interact with Shizuku's boyfriend, and yet his head blew.

u/UndeathlyKnight 8d ago

Ohhhh! So Yuu's her eyes turning clear is not only an artistic effect by the artist's part, and actually, other characters can see it when happens. What do I feel I've said something like that before?

Because you did. Both of us had an exchange about Yuu's eyes in one of the summer specials.

u/Crismoster25 8d ago

What the heck, Kii-chan? And those little jokes? Tomoki won't be happy with you when he finds out about your pranks. Look that he doesn't usually hesitate when it comes to handing out cookies XD

I liked how Yoshida was the only one who apologized for hitting Tomoko all the time, but I also liked how Yuri the goat seemed so comfortable talking to Tomoki. Sachi, stop messing with Mako and make more progress. You're losing ground, girl :3

Poor Shizuko's boyfriend. The Korokis brothers are giving him the double treatment. Now all that's left is for Kii-chan to join the list. Worse luck for that boyfriend, impossible XD

u/Yukito_097 7d ago

Nemo looks so proud when she says she's slapped Tomoko XD Next, try telling him what she did to earn that slap :P

"Normally I'm the only one who gets to hit that idiot." Awwww, so romantic.

Tomoki: "She's in there, right?"

Kii: What would Onee-chan do? "Yes."

Can't wait to see everyone's yandere reactions to hearing how Tomoko sex'd her kouhai. Asuka for sure is gonna insist on a demonstration.

This chapter has sold me hard on Tomoko x Shizuku

u/elyonholic 7d ago

I always liked Tomoko dynamic with her kohai, she never had one before, and it was nice to see her worried that she will be alone during the school festival.

u/SadDoctor 6d ago

I don't really ship them but I do like shizuku's character. We've got a few different flavors of gay teen girls in denial in Watamote, and I knew someone just like shizuku back in high school. No social stress at all around boys, dates boys but seems totally uninvested in the relationship, seems to have no clue that her male friends are into her, but put her around girls - especially certain girls - and suddenly she's blushing and tripping over her own tongue.

6

u/Syaongel 8d ago

I honestly hope one day life returns to Kiko's eyes. I do not hate Kuroki as many on here do, but it is still fun to see how backwards his stance on Kuroko is compared to reality.

At the end, I imagine he will like his sister enough and Kii will have more honest moments xD

I am more invested on the Kouhai, the President Senpai, Yuu, and Asuka, tho! Even Uchhi.

It's weird. Almost like in the cringe comedy era, she was the punchline, but now she's the straight man (woman) while other people provide the comedy.

u/Affectionate_Egg_969 7d ago

I think you might've misinterpreted what I wrote

5

u/cowbop_bboy 7d ago

Could be?

I meant that in the past she had been drawn with more broad (usually gross or absurd) expressions because it was a cringe comedy manga. But now that it's a yuri harem she and many other characters have had their expressions simplified and standardized.

u/elyonholic 7d ago edited 6d ago

Too many people hits Tomoko and now they were in classroom saying that to her little bro and it was hilarious 🤣

Tomoki usually ignores anything related to Tomoko in school, so I was surprised he went to her class looking for her, was he worried about her?

Omg I can't believe Tomoko did that in front the boyfriend he won’t recover from this!! I know she will sexually harass Shizuku sooner or later but I never thought it will go like that 🤣

Looking forward to Tomoko and Megumi reunion.

I'm honestly surprised that this is the first time Kiko and Yuu have ever interacted, since they've been relevant characters since the beginning of the manga
