I wonder what is Miya's angenda with Nanako. She's seems to really like messing with her.

I have a few ideas considering what Miya is doing. Either she has had an eye on Nanako from the start, taking favor in her in a more than affectionate manner. And perhaps wishes for Nanako to follow in her footsteps.

or... and this is more likely...

She is using her to get to Saint Juste, as a tool to only hurt her further. I can see this reflecting negatively on the relationship Nanako is trying to form with Saint Juste.

I doubt that Miya favors Nanako, she's apparently "cooking" something for her.
thank God there's no more crazy-obsessed Mariko anymore :-)

Wow, that scene at the party between Nanako and Miya was pretty damn magnificent. Miya is a pretty interesting and mysterious character and I'm not really sure what she is up to. But, I like her character so far.

Miya is definitely up to something. She doesn't exude "crazy" aura like Mariko but more uh...sinister. Though I do admit I had a huge smile on my face when she was being affectionate with Nanako.

Wonder why Miya chose someone like Nanako in the first place? Maybe she know her brother or something?

I haven't felt like adding to every single episode thread here, but I have been reading all of them as I watch the program. This episode moved the story forward significantly, so I suppose it is time for more observations.

As I had hoped, Nanako has developed beyond her generic beginnings. As details about her personality become clear, it is obvious that she is not the usual sort of girl who would be picked for the Sorority. Somebody as kind and caring as she is must be fundamentally incompatible with the selfishness, scheming, and backstabbing that define the organization. It is still a mystery as to why she was chosen. Since her membership in the Sorority is a key element of the plot, my assumption is that she will stay with it, and it will be interesting to see how she handles the conflicts - both external and internal - that will surely arise. Will she attempt to change the Sorority from within, will its corruption eventually eat away at her good nature, or will she merely struggle to survive and make it through the ordeal scarred but stronger? Recent events reveal that Nanako possesses a great deal of inner strength, but will it be enough?

This series, so far, is of unusually high literary and artistic merit. If the various mysteries that have been created are handled successfully (although not necessarily solved), and if the characters are properly developed, in the remaining episodes, it just might merit a score of 10. I'm leaving the score blank for now.
It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

And with that, Miya-sama has risen in tier as a character.

Love this expansion on her character, and I like how Nanako could kind of see how her and Saint-Juste would be sisters. Both seem... troubled, but Miya-sama is obviously slier and more in control of her emotions. And of course, both have an affectionate fascination with Nanako.

Near the end I started to fear that Nakaya might do something stupid because she was expelled from the soririty; thankfully I was wrong.

Looks to me that Fukiko is trying to disassemble Nanakos support network, first by going after her correspondence with her "brother". Or maybe she has a thing for him.

Poor Nakaya, having to leave 'voluntarily' because she had a high fever making when making the test... well at least she is better off leaving than staying at the shitty snob club. Pretty confident now that Miya knows the brother in some way because she told Nanako to stop writing letters.

i felt like the last few episodes were dragging out a bit, never was much big of a fan of Saint-Juste, even tho the mystery surrounding what really happened between her and her "sister" is interesting.

this episode, on the other hand... simply beautiful

Miya is quite the character, the way she delivered the ultimatum to that girl, magnificent and now she finally have made a more straightforward move on Nanako.

I kind of figured that Miya-sama might have a thing for Nanako when at the sorority party, they said that she was only tutoring Nanako. It stayed in the back of my mind, but I didn't really comment on it.

Miya is pure evil. Hopefully, Nanako can someday put a stop to her evil shenanigans.

Nakaya appreciated Nanako sticking up for her. Maybe someday they'll be friends.

This sorority is hell, glad for Nakayama to realize this.
I like to post in manga forum when I feel it is worth it, so people will think. "Shit, is her again" or something.

People asked me where I read certain thing but the rules say no telling where did you read so maybe I am too boring for not saying? Or salty because you didn't check my profile that says don't ask because I hate people to ghost me after that. I love learning languages so maybe I did not read the manga in English.
