Seems the artist has finally given the absolute bare minimum plausible deniability that "Gilbert" is male. It was pretty funny in the first few chapters of Season 2 that nobody noticed the huge rack under that suit. I wonder if it'll just be ignored or if at some point "Gilbert" will acknowledge the change.
Unlike the majority of ecchi/hentai, there's a defined plot and the pacing is pretty quick. But more importantly, the reason it manages this is that the off-panel events are absurdly load-bearing. Think about it: Basically every time she dies she has to run back multiple seductions/attempts, most of which account for at least two chapters in isolation.
(Side Note: I actually find this thought to be funnier than anything the manga has taken time to show and I hope they continue to skip every recap)
This does double duty in making Marie kind of relatable despite her scumminess, because her frustration and stagnant character are consistent both in-universe and to human behavior in general.
No wonder she hasn't learned to love the game. She's being forced to learn to speedrun it as her first playthrough.
Anyways, I think this manga is an excellent example of not compromising between airing out all your outlandish kinks and writing something technically excellent. Be the change you want to see, or something. I need to go to bed.
Did it not occur to anybody that Korean may not have more generalized terms like "sapphic" or "WLW"? Hell, you don't even need to go any further than Google Translate. "Lesbian" translates phonetically (much like English words rendered in katakana), so it's a pretty safe bet that that is a trendy way to say it. It probably isn't as precise in meaning as it is in English, just taking up the rough meaning of "WLW". As mentioned, there does not seem to be any equivalent to broader terms that would explicitly include bisexual or pansexual (et cetera) women, and as a result spelling that out results in phrases that are very long and even to my untrained eye seem pretty clinical. If there was no shorter way than "Homosexual and bisexual and pansexual women", wouldn't you compromise with a term that sacrifices a small degree of precision for a large degree of conciseness?
Translator, since you have an account on here, care to support/refute? I may be resourceful and able to infer quite a bit, but I do not actually understand Korean.








It's not real. Something about the ghost ship. Sherbet is a fake to fuck with Granita. Anne's line about "this sea" like it has unique agency doesn't sit right.
Either that or Sherbet has temporary brain damage. Season 2 has definitely kept up the mystery and hijinks well but it does seem to have intentionally lowered the stakes a bit. The main, driving plot *did* end, to be fair.
