A STUDENT'S STRUGGLE

CHAPTER 12 OF THE MANGA

## Previously

Karii Maki has been having some good times recently. Taking a bath as a girl. Sleeping as a girl. Wearing the female school uniform around school. Enticing a boy to instantly become infatuated with her. Buying a new teenage styled shirt and mini-skirt combination to wear. Using her female voice to sing at karaoke. But has all of this left her any time to study for the upcoming mid-term tests ? If she fails, there will be hell to pay !

## Chapter Overview

And fail he did, if a minimum of 50 is passing. Minami is having a case of 'have fun now' / 'repent at leisure' . Asaba, another boy in the same class, comes by to gloat that he actually passed ! He enjoys 'rubbing it in' to Minami. In the clubroom, Maho Curry bemoans her poor score on the tests. The thought is expressed that maybe Minami can lay off of transitioning so that they can study. No can do ! He will turn into a living, breathing zombie. Karin offers to help study, but it is insisted that Karin study with Karii Maki, not Minami like she wanted to. Fun time for Karin with Minami goes down in flames. Outside the clubroom, another 'girl' dressed in what looks like a cos-play outfit, is about to 'crash the party' of the Maho Shoujo Club !

## This Chapter's Story

**" 48 "** Read it and weep !

Although they like to spend as much time as possible wearing female attire and presenting as a teenage girl, nevertheless Minami has to masquerade as a male at school and wear the male school uniform, at least for now. Minami is at their desk, staring at the score for their first mid-term test. Not good ! Not good at all ! Best male friend, Naoya did a little better coming in at 59. Minami is still in a wrenched mood when Asaba, a boy who wears glasses and is in the same class, comes by to gloat. He got a near perfect score ! He guesses correctly that Minami got a bad score, and surmises that is because Minami 'played around' instead of studying. Minami jovially asks if Asaba would like to tutor him ? Absolutely NOT ! Minami is ticked-off, and falls back into the sour mood, as Asaba leaves them to their misery.

That afternoon, in the clubroom, everyone is comparing notes and scores from the mid-terms. Karin is herself, however, Minami has transitioned to Maho Curry. She confesses to Karin that she, indeed, spent too much time playing around as a girl instead of studying. Karin suggests that Maho Curry just not transform before the tests. Chiyoko, also as herself, says that may back-fire, since the last time that Minami tried to do that they, although male, ended up looking and behaving like a living, breathing dead zombie. Maho Curry wants to know if Maho Anime girls are stronger, shouldn't they also be smarter ? Chiyoko says no, since strength is needed for combat, smarts are not necessarily needed for such.

Maho Curry pouts because it is looking more and more like that she will have to actually study, one way or another. However, when Karin offers to tutor her, Maho Curry perks up and likes the idea of studying as a girl, with another girl. Karin is less than enthusiastic, as she would like to spend that time with male Minami. It's time now for Karin to pout. Just then, Chiyoko does an instantaneous Henshin to Foret Norie. Karin is invited to transform, too. This she does.

Outside the clubroom, some distance away, high heels are heard click-clacking on the hallway floor. A cute teenage 'girl', who looks to be in some sort of cos-play outfit, comes upon the clubroom sign---MSB.

" Here it is, the Maho Shoujo Club. Now, then, let us begin the *Night of Darkness !!!* " , 'she' quietly utters to herself.

## Chapter Lookback and Commentary

Unfortunately, the cryptic message of "MSB" fails to confuse and discourage the entrance of the Maniacal 'Girl' into the clubroom.

Let me guess, the [dark minded] girl is the dude with the glasses.

What? A newly introduced character being the newly introduced villain? Never.

Guessing it's the smart guy from the seat in front.

Zaire / 1 year ago
Yea, that's my guess too, and "he" is going to be surprised that Minami is also a [Maho Shoujo] girl [named Maho Curry].

Tidel / 1 year ago
Given the theme of this manga, that wouldn't surprise me.

Yuuriel / 1 year ago
I didn't see that coming. Who's sane enough to make [that kind of] transformation to a [Dark] Lord ?
