Harapeko no Marie (Hungry Marie)

And chapter 13… Leo's a bit strong. And why this game is called "baseball", I have no idea.

Not sure it's a good idea to introduce an Alpha Bitch when the series is one step away from the chopping board, but eh, I don't dislike her too much.

I like how they went from the plot revelation last chapter to high school hijinks in this with no pause.

"Bear-killer high" Pfft.

I'm bit confused, so they need Marie to fall in love for he curse to break?

Kinda pity if this gets canceled since from what I read, it was one of more hilarious series

Maybe not just yet, there are two new series that are below it, so it has some cushion to gain more popularity.

Chapter out:

"Quit wasting panels!"

And oh god, those bears. The humor in this chapter was pretty on point.

Heh, if this follows the same logic as Beelzebub, then next chapter will have a very short fight.

That fourth wall shattering was magnificent.

Chap 14… Damn, I didn't realize how tiny Ririsu was. And we're gonna learn a bit more about Marie's past it seems.

Getting really tired of waiting for the translation to catch up. That said, chapter 12 really wasn't that interesting. Hopefully the next few are better.

Translations up to chapter 13 are out. Err, why not just call it strip boxing, instead of baseball boxing?

Yeah, not sure has this has anything to do with baseball. >.>

Meanwhile in chapter 16 a fake Taiga appears and works for Lilith… somehow? And the two princesses don't forget the proper etiquette before a fight.

What is even going on? What does this have anything to do with Baseball?

And why doesn't Taiga just beat everyone up and take the doll back?

Hmm, because he doesn't want to be branded as a delinquent or to beat up girls? Dunno.

Chap 17… Okay, the fake Taiga was actually Mamoru, though I have no idea how he climbed 4 storeys. >.> And it seems we have a beginning of a climax… Which could very well be the series' climax depending on how swift the axe is.

Chapter out: Marie is awesome in this one. She won't take any bullshit from pampered brats pretending to be rulers.

And it seems we're getting a flashback.

Chapter 18, or Taiga literally saying "this is supposed to be a romance series, stop trying to add plot into this! And the author no longer cares about anything it seems.

Also, Lilith got even shorter, somehow.

Chapter 15: So Taiga can see flashbacks?

So Taiga's ancestor was also one of Marie retainers. That explains some things.

Ah Japan, where school chairmen can do shit like tearing up churches because their bratty kid whined about it.

So who are those mob characters again?

I wonder if that stuff could actually happen in real Japan…

Chapter 19: Yikes… that's gonna be an awkward date.◊ Going in Marie's body would have been far less awkward actually. >.> And they can change bodies at will now, apparently?

I have no idea how the author is gonna wrap up the story in the few chapters he probably has left… It doesn't seem like it's heading towards a resolution. Though I wouldn't mind if it actually continued for a while.

Chapter 20… okay, the author is now completely in "fuck you, I do whatever I want" mode. And now Taiga has a human head and a plushie body. Woops.

Chapter 21 (is the translation still lagging behind…?): okay, the "reveal" page got a pretty big chuckle out of me. And suddenly, a wild magical girl appears… Wut?

Yeah it is. Which pisses me off, because things sound amazing in the later chapters.

Yeah. I get that they have lives outside of translating to attend to but they're nearly two months behind. Even then that'd be fine if we knew why they were delayed so much in comparison to the other manga they're translating but we don't which is why it's annoying.

Maybe they just don't like it? I dunno. I wish they'd catch up already though, it's a bit sad for me to comment on the chaps all alone. =[

Chap 22! So I didn't realize, but the witch who appeared last chapter is actually really, really small. Like, Aizawa Nagisa small. There's a lot of exposition in this chap, which I don't completely get… there's apparently a sort of love curse put on Marie, and the Bijogi and Sagimiya families are involved in it, somehow?

Marie is always getting hungry juuust at the right moments. But Taiga and Anna are pretty much an Official Couple at this point, minus a full-fledged confession…

The introduction of this new character felt a bit awkward though… Dunno, it feels like she wasn't supposed to appear, or at least not so early…

Seriously? What the hell happens in those seven chapters, because they are nowhere near close to it where the english translation is now?!

Well, a date happened. If you can call it that. And Marie seems like she wants to help their relationship. I mean, they already have feelings for each other, so it's not like they need much to get closer, as long as the mood is right.◊ They're not ''quite'' there yet, though.◊

(I'm secretly hoping for an OT3 with Marie honestly. )

Chap 24: Mamoru chapter this time. He gets a girlfriend… except she's a bitch who tricked him for some shady business. He tries and fails to pretend he's alright. And the same thing had happened to him back him grade school. Everyone makes fun of him, and Taiga and Marie are not amused. At all.

I like how Taiga and Marie think up increasingly ridiculous tricks to manage their shared body. X) They've pretty much mastered a pseudo-cloning technique now. By jumping left and right very fast.

Chapter 16: That little shit really has no shame, I hope she get humiliated before this is over.

Wait, there's a fake Taiga? This is gonna be gud.

Chapter 26… Turns out Marie's old crush was Taiga's "ancestor". Except two centuries prior, Marie literally wished for a reincarnation romance when she used a love spell, which means Taiga isn't just that man's descendent, but his reincarnation. Talk about a plan Gone Horribly Right… Though it's unclear whether she still has feelings for him. Anna seems pretty cool about the whole thing though.

DUN DUN DUUUUUUN.
