Silver Ash's manga / #Otome(59)

Last ch 107 God damn! When it started I was like, okay whatever. But then I kept reading and holy fuck! I can’t pin point end game or even if one of the boys will be end game. It feels like one of those where it will be one confession after the other. Who really cares about that though!? Penelope is doing so well! (Ch 52) This hunting competition is going to be amazing, if that carriage ride was anything to go by. Holy fuck. The affection meter going up after Derrick saw her and then the duke showing off the gift he got from Penelope. Priceless. It took me a minute but I think I’ve figured out Derrick. He’s like the duke in that he didn’t know how to communicate with Penelope despite wanting to do so, which caused a rift in their relationship to form. Reynold had the -10% affection at the beginning but Derrick didn’t. You’d expect it to be in the negative because of their poor relationship but instead his affection meter is at the same place as those who don’t even know Penelope personally. Which removes the idea that Derrick completely hates her. I do wonder if he’s attracted to Penelope as a woman. She is very attractive and it would give Derrick another reason to want to avoid her and not have her call him brother. (Ch 56) Kallisto is fucking insane. He is my personal first choice however. Eclise is really cute, for fucking sure, but I personally love that crazy golden haired bastard. However, I figured he knew she was saying bullshit to get out of dying but because it was amusing he decided to let her go. But I don’t get that vibe from how he’s reacting to Penelope saying she doesn’t love him anymore. Maybe I’m imagining it. (Ch 58) I was partially right about Derrick. He has never hated her but found communicating with her and her actions to be frustrating. So he held a prejudice against her instead of trying to figure out why she would act like that, or even consider her point of view at all. He really is the, treats someone poorly and is surprised when they stop tolerating it, type. How dare you. You’re in the same boat with Reynold in my mind, useless. Even if he gets his shit together and starts treating Penelope better, he’s caused too much damage to forgive and forget. That trust is broken. I was absolutely correct in that Kallisto is the best. He’s a crazy bastard, but he’s a reasonable crazy bastard. (Ch 83) Vinter proved himself to be quite admirable. The different colors don’t correspond to the character’s color anymore. Current theory is that the color is representative of what kind of feelings they hold for Penelope. With the coming of age party coming up, I can think of two possible outcomes. Yvonne comes back on the coming of age ceremony the same as she did in the game, making Penelope feel even more so that she can’t fight against the system and that her life is in extreme danger Or Yvonne doesn’t come back on the day of Penelope’s coming of age party, when the tense Penelope experiences the whole party without the appearing of the long lost ducal princess, the real daughter, she thinks that maybe things can be different. Or she continues to be tense until Yvonne does show up. Yvonne not coming back to the duchy feels highly unlikely. I can’t remember a story where the original female lead doesn’t show up. I think the duke and Reynold would continue to treat Penelope the same. The duke especially, since Penelope is his daughter, he cares about her as her father. Reynold seems to have proven himself to be mildly reliable, he knows now how much Penelope has suffered, so he would likely prioritize Yvonne, but he wouldn’t shut down Penelope or be oblivious to her potential suffering. Derrick, I have zero faith in him to be considerate of Penelope. Even Reynold knows how shit his brother is towards her. Derrick is a coward who could never see Penelope as his sister. I don’t have great confidence in my conclusions but maybe I’m right about these idiot ducal brothers. (Ch 94)

Last ch 19 She brought up a good point in, why was the original Alisia so practically useless? (Ch 4) Fucking drag her Alicia baby! Roles be damned, you’re doing great. (Ch 9)

Last ch 14 She’s hysterical. Katarina is also sandwiched in multiple trios. The siblings, Sofia and Nicole. The fiancés, Mary and Alan. Then her Fiancé Gerald, her brother Keith, and the OG heroine Maria. Which those last three don’t sandwich her as much as they all love her as well but don’t act in pairs. Gerald and Keith are often around her at the same time but that’s because of their positions as the fiancé and brother.

Last ch 11 I’m so glad that the original male lead isn’t her endgame. She deserves Dirk! He’s such a sweet leopard! I quite enjoy this concept as well. I have the world pretty much figured out. Rin and Rosalia are sweethearts and I’m glad they can do everything they want to now. They are going to do amazing things as Rosalin. (Ch 7.1)

Last vol 2 ch 16 I didn’t know how fucking perfect this was going to be. (Ch 14.2)

Complete ch 7

Last ch 2 ch 13

Last ch 6 It does bother me that she just assumes that her brother and Oscar are in love with Leanne. Like, they haven’t shown any romantic interest in her, at all. None, notta, nothing to speak of! Gilbert, my precious boy, you love her so much that you have talked to her fucking parents about allowing you to marry Cecilia. I applaud you. He doesn’t force her into his arms but he also doesn’t force her into anyone else’s arms. Oscar is a pure and sweet boy. He doesn’t brush off what he’s feeling because he thinks she’s a boy, he brushes off his feelings because he is pining for Cecilia, not knowing they are the same person. Yes please. (Ch 6)
