I went onto managa fox and read all the previous chapters (btw, if your going to pick up a ongoing manga, it would be nice if you hosted all the previous chapters too so it is all in one place, fine though if you don't for this one)

They start out with a somewhat interesting premise, recycle it, throw in a few other random nonsense, recycle it, ditto, ditto etc. etc. noone of the characters really change or get deeper, they just quickly become stereotypes and caricatures of themselves. It is tough to care about these 2d characters with their world where even basic laws of physics, logic, etc. as well as the basic elements of story telling, get routinely thrown out the window without a thought.


If the author was a little less extreme in how evil maria is betrayed (and his maid who usually either condones or assists) the whole story would flow better too. I mean for example, dosing her with gasoline and making as though to start her on fire, it's not funny, and it just trashes the storyline and character development. Realistically speaking, there is no reason at all for her not to out him as a extremely sadistic, dangerous, and cruel male, both to protect herself, and prevent him from gaining administration of the school.(how ever that works, the explanation really didn't make any sense)

So humor, sure its in there, but it gets longer and longer in the tooth with less of it being funny as the comic goes on since it never really tries anything new and the jokes and themes become all too familiar.

Granted that the translation or word bubbles or something of earlier chapters really sucked, it was hard to figure out who was saying what or what they were really saying, so that gave me some bias against it. But even the company's translation which seemed clear enough, this comic is not worth picking up.

I also get the impression the author is slightly homophobic, with it being made clear from the start that being homosexual means you are perverted. Well throw most guys in a school full of beautiful girls, sometimes revealing themselves to said guys, they may not bleed from the nose but they will be stumbling over their own feet often enough. Sure the heartless bastard cross dresser doesn't, but we haven't gotten confirmation that he even has a sex drive, and if he does, it would probably cause him to fall in love with his own female image (not that self love is so unusual, but that kind is)

so you think a homophobic author is writing yuri?
i suggest u get a brain.

You can be homophobic and write a yuri manga. Is not like one thing stops you from doing the other.

You aren't less racist/homophobic/etc just because you write about those topics. You can write about them, but doing so badly.
