Picked this up a couple days ago and while I'm slowly making my way through it I can't help but marvel at how well all the good moments have landed.

Had me spook my roommate because I wasn't expecting such a masterful performance by our intrepid trio. Iruma is a good boy.

ALLOCER IS SUCH A BRO

Just caught up with Misfit scans translations and I agree wholeheartedly. Shame the story slept on Allocer for this long because even when he helped befriend the intellectual teacher a while back he had an interesting design and expertise. This series really knows how to leverage it's side cast and I think the harvest festival is where the story hit it's stride for me. Walked in thinking it was going to be some flavor of Hunter's Exam/Chuunin exam. Got a tower defense battle instead which was just :allears: utterly amazing. Iruma coming to the rescue of Clara right when that "trauma" spell was kicking in. Alice just continuing to be the alpha Bro himself.

And this right here

This is the only ship in the harbor but it's sailing smoothly.

I'm actually rather surprised Iruma is terrible at cooking. I guess, given his survivalist nature, he wasn't in a position to ever have the luxury of preparing any food or ingredients he got properly other than the most basic minimum of making them edible.

I was a little confused as well since the harvest festival had him and Lied making stew with no real problems and nothing indicated the taste was off. But again, maybe it's just his ability to forage mixed with the demon world botany that he's recently learned. Cooking by the book is still a different skill. And Amelie having to boost him is just adorable, their children are going to split the difference and be Alice's height.

I feel bad for Purson because even in an arc about him, Kerori still steals the spotlight from him.

All these updates are really nice.

RE: the Delkira conversation. I think he's a demon but one that's well traveled and has obviously been to the human world given things like the cherry blossom surprise in the Harvest Festival.

Patware posted:

i want to cycle around to note that without characters like kirio showing up to cause tension you don't get the full emotional impacts of things like this chapter
That's my feeling as well. Kirio is necessary to give an antagonist to Iruma that's on his level. Someone like Baal feels more like an opponent for Sullivan at the end of the day given he's older and more powerful. Kirio however can show up and stir the pot of Iruma's life like he has with taunting Alice and that not only is a part of the story pushing forward the Baal Sub-plot (since Amduscias was also recruited to his side) but yeah, gives us this chapter of bromance. This is also the 2nd time in the story where he's actually appeared to do anything. The previous two times he's just in the background being horny for Iruma.

NEW CHAPTER


MAY I HAVE THIS DANCE

:kingsley: YEAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!
One thing I really appreciate is that this story doesn't drag out the despair. Clara could have spent a whole chapter being tormented by that one Nerd's trauma illusions during the harvest festival but it got shut down in a couple pages. Amelie could have actually danced with these otherwise upstanding gentlemen but no this dance goes to her future husband.

The sheer amount of responsibility some of these characters have is refreshing. Alice telling Balam about Kirio and Balam calling Opera about Iruma's birthday. Nice

The author really wants to hammer home that despite Iruma's life being threatened multiple times while in the demon world. It's still a better existence than what he had with his parents.

Half the characters who show up that seem to be bad end up being giant softies. It's the ones that look nice and unassuming on first introduction that are ones to worry about.

Why did I even doubt this? Gyari basically being the physical embodiment of "One night I forgot to turn my swagger off" is definitely on par for this series but she's still rude as hell.

Indeed. If you'd told me early on that the gamer of the group would turn out to be Iruma's little brother. I honestly wouldn't have believed you. Yet here we are and ever since the harvest festival, Lied has really grown into his own.

I think it could also be that her studio only employs female idols. I haven't seen a mixed sexes crew because the two guys are on the team as well.

Also a fun little piece of foreshadowing. Back when Kurumi was telling the misfit class about the hell dance the lone girl that was still in sync with her should look very familiar.

Both of them being into each other and finding the worst ways possible to express it is a fun twist.

I love that we're keeping the idea of Lilith's Dance around as more than just a metaphor for Ix's own stance on love and future arc. It seems clear that Kerori does have some mutual feelings for Gyari outside of being an idol fan and doesn't want to just be cast aside after being "acquired". So she filters that through her inner fangirl and outer professionalism. A perfectly reasonable stance given Gyari has only shown the side of her that covets other girls by the armful.

Which makes me wonder what face Gyari has underneath the rock star persona and whether she's also over-acting as a way to filter her more transparent feelings for Kuromi.

This is a bad idea on Crocell's part. She's risking Gyari triggering a "return to Origin" by inflating her base desires to a boiling point.

More than a little contrived how the calvary battle resolved. Iruma's spider sense and Amelie's protective guard were nice. We're gearing up for the arc's finale so these two girls can stop being various flavors of dere for each other and just hold hands again or something

Just realized that demonstrating Wicked Phase on command is probably a really bad idea.

I mean he could BS that he's got the same drug that Alice/Sabnoc got from Balam sensei and the bird teach can vouch for him in turn since he knows Iruma's a human. He just needs to fake a safe word or something, I'm thinking 'Lunch Special'

Or you tell people you just had a good makeup artist? Why does anyone need to know he’s not just faking it?

Because wicked phases aren't something that just happen; they are tied to some kind of monthy cycle related to the blood moon, or caused by severe psychological stress. You don't see anyone just enter their wicked phase willy nilly outside of Alice so Amelie and the rest might need something more than "I put on some eyeliner" since Iruma's personality takes a notable change when Ali puts him under those enchantments is all.

This one has been running smooth for me Chapter 198
Misfits also did their april fools prank by releasing the chapter in like 7 other languages.

There's a lot I like about this chapter and a lot of character moments I could gush about. So sufficed to say I enjoy how the misfits are set up as one big group of fairly dynamic characters. They are going to have a fun future running the demon world
