Princess Jellyfish, Tome 5
Kuranosuke entraîne toutes les filles de la pension à une pièce de théâtre, intitulée Les Vingt- cinq Ophélie.

Et leur marque de vêtements pourrait bien enfin voir le jour!

About the Book:
"Tsukimi, comes to the feelings she has for Shu. But it'll not have time to lament his fate, because due to an idea completely mad of Kuranosuke, the young otakette will have that one night to make... twenty-five dresses jellyfish?"

So... This is the first book in the series to lose a star from me. Without saying who, there is a scene in here where a woman pretends to have overdosed on pills. A man runs in, thinking to save her. When he finds out it was a prank, he slaps her across the face, punches her in the head a few times, and leaves without a word. The slap is not cartoonish violence, and is played seriously. He leaves a mark on her face and she can't stop thinking about it.
The behavior of both characters is upsetting to me. The female character had done other terrible, villainous things... but she was a villian. Now, she is transitioning to a sympathetic character who will likely have a redemption arc. I think we are supposed to be rooting for both of these characters. 😬😬😬
Still into the book, but this scene was rough for me.

Tout l’arc avec le frère aîné et la journaliste qui essaye de le piéger est malaisant. Elle le drogue pour lui faire croire qu’ils ont couché ensemble puis le blackmail avec. C’est qualifié d’agression sexuelle par le frère, donc j’ai cru que ça serait traité correctement, mais ensuite il a l’air sous son charme, puis lui tape sur la gueule?? Puis la meuf voit ça comme une preuve de virilité étonnante de la part d’un puceau et ça la séduit???
Puis y’a les deux vieux là qui sont en mode perv avec les adolescentes et c’est pareil, pourquoi on se tape ce genre de situations dans ce genre de mangas (qui a l’air target pour des adolescentes mal dans leur peau)?
Et l’histoire principale est cute et drôle mais tous les passages cringe me gâchent le plaisir.

Following from the last volume, the story progresses on with Tsukimi making big steps unknowingly just because she like designing & jellyfish so, so much. Kuranosuke is playing a big role in her life and still, she's unaware of it. The residents of Amamizukan were easily blinded with food and they're hilarious as always!
I cannot even move on with the series because I didn't read this yet. So now, I can finish it!

It´s not the first time I encounter violence in a manga, even among the ones targeted to younger ages, but I can´t condone it nor overlook it.
The storyline is still interesting as it evolves, but the comments and behaviors of Kuranosuke´s father and uncle towards young girls are disgusting and disturb overall the reading experience..
I will give the next chapters a try, hoping that we will see less and less of both these issues in this and other mangas.

un peu moins bien que le reste
j'aime toujours autant les deux protagonistes, qui sont super mignons et drôles, mais l'intrigue secondaire entre le frère et la meuf commence à vraiment me soûler, surtout que ça aborde des thèmes assez graves mais ça n'est pas du tout bien pris au sérieux et jsp c'est mal écrit et un peu cringe
j'espère ça s'ameliorera

Big CW for a moment of dating violence and while its taken seriously I hate it and the way the person hit reacts to it/ their relationship

Al fin se lo dijo, la verdad no sé cómo terminara la historia de Kuranosuke y Tsukimi pero espero que terminen juntos considerando que esta es una historia muy bonita hasta ahora

Peut-être je suis trop woke pour ce tome. Non en vrai c'est juste une époque du manga différente.

I loved this story arc. Still not a huge fan of Shuu and Inari but I’m hoping their arc is going to start going in a potentially new direction. So ready for more of that lacking self confidence!

[Very small portions of Episode 10 and overlapping parts of Episode 11 as well as an element implemented in Episode 2 of the Princess Jellyfish anime follow and adapt this volume of the manga. Part of one of the bonus chapters of this volume, titled "Princess Jellyfish Heroes Part 1," is also adapted—in combination with a bonus chapter from a future volume—in the anime DVD's extras, titled "Princess Jellyfish Heroes☆ Part 1: Mayaya Chapter."]

"Jellyfish" clothing line is on.
Yay, this was better because there is ZERO scenes of Tsukimi crying over oniisan (I will never remember his name -_-) or any interaction between them. It is basically, the AMARS helping Tsukimi and Kuranosuke to make nice dresses for the girls at the play.
And can I say that I started to love Kuranosuke? Not only he is super nice (helping the AMARS, helping the actresses to have better clothes), but he also admitted the AMARS were his friends. Without feeling embarrassed. It was like saying the weather is nice... just announcing it without making a fuss or feeling embarrassment. In fact, he was quite angry when his classmates (flashy girls) mocked the AMARS. And his final words to Tsukimi! That he doesn't make these "after-before" out of embarrassment, but because he thinks Tsukimi is cute <3
So I don't care he is a transvestite, and that he loves dresses so much. I don't see him as a girl at all, he is quite manly (despite his looks). I am rooting for him (awww when he blushes... he! an experienced-in-women guy). In some ways it is quite similar to Gokusen (he doesn't have Shin's personality, but he likes a "loser" while he so cool), this love triangle, although at least Yankumi has never been a cry-baby (yeah, Tsukimi is cute, but since most of the times I want to shake her off and tell her to STOP BEING SO WHINNY -unlike my dear Yankumi- I still can't love her).
The "virgin-killer" (sorry, another one I can't remember the name...) is slowly starting to fall for oniisan.

Beda banget sama anime-nya, lebih fokus fashion, dan cerita Kuranosuke-Tsukimi juga lebih jelas. Seneng juga liat Shuu nggak jerk karena masih geek, dan si mbak ganjen malah jadi awkward. Sayangnya, keabsurdan dan kekocakan penghuni Amamizukan jadi kurang tampak, well, mungkin karena nggak sedinamis di anime :) P.S. Baru tau dari afterword-nya (bonus corner di akhir), manga ini memenangkan kodansha manga award lho!

Mayaya-sama está loca jajajaja. Me encantaron los vestidos*-* y el modo "defensa contra fashonable people" fue muy cómico. Tsukimi en este volumen creció, un poquito; y Kuranosuke fue genial. Me dio mucha risa el e-mail de Hanamori-san "@love-mercedes". Muero con las exageradas aficiones de los personajes de esta historia, creo que son el gancho, literal.

J'ai une fois de plus passé un excellent moment, une nouvelle mission complètement folle pour nos Otaku, un nouveau tournant pour les créations de Tsukimi et me voilà parti pour lire la suite avec toujours autant d'enthousiasme.

I really don't know if I can say any more good things about this manga. If you've read up until now, then you are invested in continuing to read the volumes. The art and characters are amazing and I LOVE this manga.

I loved everything this series represented. it was comical while still being able to deal with overarching serious issues. I loved how different the characters were and how people choose to interact with someone that was so different from what was considered 'the norm.'

Retreading a bit of something done just few volumes ago - butchering already existing dresses to make into Jellyfish!
Or in this case, slicing up cheap store-bought dresses to transform each into a unique jellyfish look for "25 Ophelias", a student theater performance

Its interesting to see how it differs from the anime - but in a good way

J'ai adoré ce cinquième tome. Par contre Mayaya à tendance à m'énerver, elle en fait trop. Et Tsukimi est parfois un peu nunuche.

These books are hilarious. Although a little childish and too spoof-y for my taste, i still laugh my ass out. Good light hearted reading.

Sadly, running through this series has had the opposite effect on me - I want to wallow in sweats
