This manga is really fun. Hmm... so next villain is going to be a different group of exorcist ninjas right.

I'd say the only surprising and perhaps actionable number is Lucy getting 4th when it's been 34 chapters since her last major roll. Maybe now we'll finally see more of her again (and maybe Kachofugetsu as a group, even if Yayo was expected low).

Also, being able to vote for Female Matsuri and Male Matsuri separately on the popularity poll scammed Matsuri out of #1st. Combined they just barely edge out Suzu.
It's remarkable that the top two spots were so close—less than a 3% difference. Usually, there's a big gap from 1st to 2nd.

[up]Mei's possession inspiring antagonism to Suzu from other exorcist is the leading theory.

Chapter 69 is out, and oh boy is it lewd. Full uncensored handholding between Suzu and Matsuri. They’ve started going out. I think. I’m pretty sure Matsuri wasn’t allowed to refuse.

"Suzu pushing for Matsuri to date while they're still girls." is exactly where I wanted their relationship to be for the foreseeable future.

I just wish Matsuri would admit he's uncomfortable with physical intimacy in a female body, even if it's with a girl, instead of this weird "I'd just be cuckolding myself" logic.

fillerdude Since: Jul, 2010
#81: Nov 21st 2021 at 5:50:22 PM

Yeah I expected Matsuri to feel weird about his body being a girl’s while in a relationship with Suzu but the whole “cuckolding himself” angle is certainly… original.

You can tell from Shirogane's reaction it's supposed to be ridiculous, but that doesn't mean Matsuri will ever be convinced otherwise or admit it was just a cover for some other reason.

[up] Yeah, but that's because Matsuri has the emotional intelligence of your average shonen action-comedy protagonist.

Good on Suzu for bucking the trend.

Chapter 71: The final boss becomes another victim to the ecchi harem rom com genre. She’s picked a bad time to try and break Matsuri and Suzu up, Suzu is a shark that has gotten a long, deep whiff of Matsuri blood.

I honestly think she's so hopeless Suzu and Matsuri may need to fake like she's succeeding so she doesn't try something more dangerous.

#86: Dec 5th 2021 at 8:14:56 PM

Turns out Suzu doesn't care if anyone thinks she's in love with a girl.

Mei didn’t realize that she has worse chances trying to out-thirst Suzu.

I look forward to all future instances of flirting with Matsuri beinng accompanied by Shirogane or Mama Matsuri’s play-by-play commentary.

Chapter 73(holy crap, 73?) out.

There's gonna be an anime, in case anyone didn't know.


Matsuri: I need to up my seduction game!
Jesus, from socially-inept tomboy to bisexual seductress. Mei is right; Matsuri's disregard for his reputation is outstanding.

Soga is paralyzed at Matsuri clinging him to like that, but Matsuri's like a little kid getting a piggy-back right from his brother. It's weirdly wholesome.

I know Suzu and Matsuri are endgame but let Reo join in, please!

Definitely did not expect Matsuri to become known as the super seductress, but here we are.

Manga Plus and Viz have elected to skip chapter 74 entirely, almost certainly because of a scene where Rochka turns invisible and Lu unknowingly pulls her shirt open and gropes her.

I won't miss that scene, but the next chapter will be really confusing because they're both part of a story about Lu.

I expect there will be a fan scanlation before the next chapter is out. Someone already made one for a two-page New Years omake (which wasn't gonna get translated anyway).

That explains why I didn’t see the new chapter.

The chapter has a fanscan out—two of them in fact (two groups did them independently). One of them also did the omake in this issue which the simulpublish wasn't going to include anyway. I'm sure you know the usual places to look.

fillerdude Since: Jul, 2010
#95: Jan 4th 2022 at 7:13:55 PM

Yeah I must be desensitized because I didn’t think the chapter was particularly objectionable. I do hope Lu realizes for real that Matsuri and Shiromatsu are one and the same.

Re: omake Wow, Suzu is straight up playing footsies with Matsuri.

Matsuri will probably learn he can functionally bring Lu in on things if he just tells her the truth, but says the ayakashi and spiritual powers are alien stuff.

"Yes, my family are all aliens. That's why we control wind or ice, turn invisible, and also why I'm a black-haired boy sometimes and other times I'm a white-haired girl."

Which is funny to consider when some version of Run and possibly Ren exist in this universe...

Read 74. Not worth censoring. Not even a little.

Skipping a chapter that might be important like that is going to be... mmm. Really not worth the censoring.

I must be desensitized because I didn’t think the chapter was particularly objectionable.
Similar things have happened to Matsuri already, but it makes a difference when the recipient goes from "a few years below most places' age of consent" to "barely pubescent". Especially when the licensee's interest was clearly hanging by a thread already—before the collected volumes were pulled, they literally never announced they were being released. There's a good chance Viz picked the series up less from wanting it and more because Shueisha (their partial owners) expected them to.

Without any notice, and despite the website saying there would be a new chapter, chapter 75 isn't being hosted either. We have no idea if the series is being cancelled or what—we're just being left entirely in the dark.

EDIT: Looking over the raw, it's almost definitely because chapter 75 flashes back to the same scene from 74.
