So this is the complete harem? Haven't seen 2 of the girls yet. Should be fun, I'm expecting some rather School Rumble -esque characters

The Kou empire is swallowing Balbad very fast. The best way is to destroy Bablbad´s culture ASAP. I wonder if Alibaba will actually do anything to stop that from fully happening.
 
So rereading the last few chapters really makes me think girl number 4 is really a guy as speculated, some evidence to support this. My thought is the teacher like Minamoto was bullied for his effeminate looks and chose to run away to an all girl school and become a "female" to hide from the pain she was suffering. Her obsession with Terumi comes from the fact he "faced" his pain instead of running away.

First thing that supports this


Terumi and Rokujou have very similar body types and face designs, I'll admit this is probably the weakest link but I do feel the design of Rokujou is androgynous.

For comparison here is cross dressing Terumi


Second thing

and

After Terumi meets her for the first time, the Aunt asks what he thinks of her bosom and drops a very odd line about Rokujou

Now either of these two points can be just kind of coincidences, here is the biggest pieces of evidence.

Third


This isn't a line she says to Terumi, but thinks to herself as she kisses him. The audience is lead to believe this is part of her obsession that only "she can heal his wounds" but reality is that the reason only she can is because she suffered the same thing he did. This at the end of chapter 101.

Chapter 102 starts with a flashback, Rokujou is being hit on by the principal for her sexy legs, she punches him and storms out. After bumping into Terumi she warns him to be careful of boys and thinks to herself that "she's cute". Terumi replies that he's a boy and this is the reaction to her offer to "talk about it"


The teacher doesn't get mad, or get shocked, or any reaction you'd normally think of, instead she gets embarrassed. The very next panel has her in the present say


After which she says "...not everyone can put up with anything"

If this wasn't enough, in chapter 104, Rokujou seems to hesitate about inviting Terumi back to her house, despite spending time with him every day, wanting to do "everything with him that he hasn't done" and "wanting to be his first" among other things said in 103 and 104. Were Rokujou simply a girl she'd have no reason to hesitate inviting him over for some all night sessions, even with the creepy stalker pictures. However if the reason for the hesitation is attempting to keep the secret that she's actually a guy thinks make a lot more sense.

Anyone agree/disagree?
 
Bass, you could very well be over analyzing...but I seriously want you to be right.

It would also give the story an excuse for Terumi to get away from the Yandere without her going crazy/kill crazy. Having the Yandere bow out because she's really a boy and Terumi doesn't roll that way.

Seriously? The first girl that actually likes Terumi and you want it to end up being a guy? The dude is already broken, why throw him in the garbage dispenser instead of fixing him. Yeah I know she's a yandere but still.

Manga GAF is on Team Aunt, so the further her experiment breaks his soul and leads to him having sex with her the better everything is

That's why it would be funny though! We all know there's only one way this story ends, may as well have some fun along the way.

Honestly I just want it because I think his reaction, and our reactions, would be straight up amazing. If I can't have everything after Ichigo beat Aizen being Aizen's bankai in the most elaborate troll in all of manga, then this would be the next best thing.
 
Also to be fair this isn't the first girl to actually like Terumi, it's the second guy, the first being the other teacher he stole from the bully when he was cross dressing.

I'm team aunt too but I've always seen it as the aunt mending Terumi to be her type of guy, and in the end she ends up stealing him away from the rest and leaving with him. I can imagine Terumi ending up a super ladies man by the end of it, as long as it ends with him actually getting a girl and not like School days I'll be happy though.

Also to be fair this isn't the first girl to actually like Terumi, it's the second guy, the first being the other teacher he stole from the bully when he was cross dressing.

He found him really cute, the dude didn't even like the bully, he was just in it for sex. Iirc, no one has ever actually liked him. Well maybe the cousin is just a stubborn tsundere but my point still works.

Tbh I just feel a bit too much pity for the guy. Couldn't even keep it up with Aoi and got his heart broken by Hanada. Being with a trap would destroy him. D:

Pls don't be pitiful Alibaba. Man up and take back your country by storm! Ren would tear you up a new one but still bro, go for it.

Maybe later when your household ain't pitiful (other than my queen Mor ofc).

maybe rokujou was just forced to crossdress as a boy during middle school and she finds solace in doting on someone who faces similar abuse

still hoping she has a dick tho

X/1999 - Vol. 5-8
Let's look at some pretty pictures, shall we? This series is finally starting to pick up as of volume 8.
This showdown is all I've been waiting for. The conclusion of the events started in Tokyo Babylon. Kick his ass, Subaru! Damn, he's not just a little kid anymore.
Ahhhhh. Even if the story doesn't make much sense, the gorgeous art is there to make you forget about the series' other shortcomings.
The issue I had with this series is that Kamui just wouldn't pick a side. Volumes 5, 6, and 7 just kept harping on the "Pick a side, Kamui! You must pick a side!" And, really, why would he want to destroy the planet. Just pick the good side, asshole. We all know you're going to.
Oh, shit. Maybe that wasn't the right side. I mean... I guess that your best friend goes homoerotic psycho either way, so... eh. It's Tokyo Babylon all over again, but this time, without the foreshadowing that he's evil! Why is this happening?

This is the most :DTL thing I've ever read. There's no overt homosexuality, but it sure likes to tease whoever is into shipping. Eat your heart out.

Have you read this, DTL? That last image had to grab your attention.

I'm always under the impression that DTL is more into the happy/fluffy kind of yaoi, no yanderes or anything crazy.

Have they scanlated new volumes of X? I was under the impression they hadn't. In fact, aren't there no further volumes to translate?

X is on hiatus since forever cause Clamp
I think there were some licensing issues
. But there are the anime series and movies if you want some closure I guess.

I've watched the series. Lots of ;_;

I never did watch the movie completely. I liked that the manga took a different path (or at least, that was the original path) for characters like Nataku.

Stravaganza: Isai no Hime 1
Humans live mostly behind safe walls, protected from the many non-human creatures outside. In this kingdom's walled capital city of Mitera lives an unusual young warrior woman known as Claria. The story begins as she takes a potentially deadly walk alone in the woods, encountering various dangerous creatures-- most notably a lizardman that treats her surprisingly kindly. But what no one knows about Claria is that she is secretly this kingdom's ruler, Queen Vivian!

An interesting premise with a really nice and clean artstyle definitely makes this one to keep an eye on even if we'll probably never get more than this single chapter translated. :(

This is pretty messed up so hopefully Alibaba can set things right.

The story that used to circulate was that Clamp stopped doing X after an earthquake, out of respect for people who died in it or something? Don't know if that's actually the reason, though.

Unrelated Naruto question: when Sasuke was getting ready to fight Mizukage, he was only saved by a Zetsu run-in. Think she could've taken him if there were no interference, or would his eyes suddenly discover a newer power?

Ugh, the 3rd proper target is so boring and plain so far. Hopefully this doesn't get too drawn out.

I don't usually bring up porn here, but this one made me smile. A girl gets spotted through the window by her classmate while she's grinding on her favorite plush teddy bear.

Things actually go rather well for both of them but then she does something DRASTIC!


PUT HIM DOWN YOU CRAZY WOMAN! WHAT DID THAT TEDDY EVER DO TO YOU?!

Drowns in more Sharkbait, good action scene. especially with Rin.

Cried pretty hard here, wow really powerful. The realization that young Tsukki saw with his older bro. But then Yamaguchi being epic as always and really incredibly cool. Tsukki smile and rejuvenation brightened my day.

Come on Alibaba, take back your country before it is no longer your county! Life without freedom is little better than a life of poverty.

Hell, it's barely a step up from Magnostadt's human farms.

There's a sequel to this where the guy dresses up as a life sized teddy bear and surprises her with sex. lol porn logic.
 
B-Dubs this is for you

The Night RIGHT. We see obvious and repeated errors on the "right" side of chracters. BG9's Right side was blown away, but now it's his left? Shunsui's Right Eye was missing, but now it's not? And as others, including myself have pointed out, that's not just one art panel "mistake" for Shunsui, it's several including close ups.

Kubo sensei is definately pointing out that something is not "right".

What has the ability to switch perspective? Well there is Shinji's Sakanade, of course, However, I'm leaning more towards Ejay's suggestion that his may very well be Aizen's Kyoka Suigetsu at work. Tea is most definitely a hint. Since when did Shunsui suggest to drink tea? EVERY SINGLE time before that he's always wanted Sake. How do you go from wanting alcohol consistently to wanting tea?

Another strong indication is Haschwalth's comment that defeating Nanao's first barrier took more tim than he expected. Three hours for Bach's right hand man to defeat a mere Lieutenant's barrier? I think not. Something slowed him down.

Who was able to alter Bach's perception during the first invasion? Sosuke Aizen.

BG9 was definitely blown up on the OTHER side of his visor; on his "right" side. Now it's on his left side. ANd BG9 has become some sort purile whining child? Is that really him? I don't if this left/right disrepancy showing up with BG9 and Shunsui are connected- but the chapter title does make me wonder.

Also, again, why would Aizen not have Shunsui's eyepatch if he was controlling things? Because as far as he's aware, being trapped in a prison...SHUNSUI STILL HAS HIS EYE. How would he know that "Commissioner Gordon" had shot Shunsui's right eye out unless Bach told him (which I doubt Bach would, even if he knew at the time because it was completely irrelevant to what he came to Aizen for). Aizen casted an illusion to what he REMEMBERED Shunsui AS, not to what he WAS.

Just something to think about

Oh. Wow. You might get your epic troll you wanted after all

I should re-read this since I really do like this series. This does mean I need to look into picking up the first ten volumes though...

X is on forever hiatus cause the magazine that originally published it thought it was getting too violent and Clamp refused to tone it down. So now it's stuck in never knowing how it'll end. ;_;

Also, the movie is trash but the anime is pretty great.

Well Tamakoma Branch getting its second feature on a cover (building), and members (third cover) of the eight colour pages so far is a bit much, though at least the colours are nice. Though would have preferred Kyousuke and Reiji instead of these support characters.

Chapter went so fast, by the time it got to the good part, introducing the different entities in the Neighborhood it was already the last panel :(

I had a comment on my tastes relating to DTL's, but I will refrain.
I always wanted to read X but then I remembered Clamp.
I think I've dropped every other Clamp series that I've read (besides the prequel to this), but this is a quick read and it's pretty, so I'm enjoying it.
Just about to start volume 14, against the poseidons.
I recently finished 18. You'll likely pass me soon.

I remember seeing that the American triple volumes are actually quite nice. Get those.
Hahaha. Ahhhhh. That show is wonderful. Well done.
