Story:
After a disastrous break up, Qian Hailu wakes up to find that she's dead. Luckily (or unluckily), she's been given a chance to turn back the clock and avert her death—as long as she can pass three rounds in the game of life.
Plot: A2E was the top-performing boy band in the world before they split up. Two years later, the former band gets a mysterious call from their ex-leader El, who invites them to a secret Superfan-sponsored reunion. But once they arrive, they find themselves trapped unless they play an internet-fueled game show.

~~Kathryn's alright as second best girl, though.~~
When you've gotten cut by too many "tsuns" in life without a hint of "dere", you start to appreciate characters that are less of a pain in the ass.

Everyone says you can keep going on, but nobody asks ~~if you want to keep going on...~~
Inspired by a quote on u/Mayczal's recent KS Alphabeth to update a reaction image made for this meme.
Then again, "He who has a Why..."

"At least our free countries don't have morality police controlling what people can wear" - "Just because you don't see them doesn't mean they don't exist... maybe they're just better dressed and better hidden... they don't have to control what you wear if they can control what you see..."A quick and dirty meme after seeing the latest updates. Saimin? Really? But 50SOG with its dubcon (at best) is fine? Hmm.... I wonder why. u/kaigyuu2016 would probably have a field day with this.
I mean, I'm no fan of ryona/guro myself, but I don't go around telling others they can't access it (even if they might need a bit of Touhou Jesus after that).
Then again, I guess when you have money and monopolistic/duopolistic power in a market/industry, you'll try to reshape what society can see according to what you think is right... just like Steam.
I wrote some time ago that "this isn't stopping at looks = age, but going beyond that. It's anyone's guess where it'll stop."
If they don't stop at saimin... what's next, timestop?
u/Jaggedmallard26 nailed it pretty well... "You can launder money from drug cartels so they can buy heavy weaponry with a bank but god forbid you use their service to see a titty."
My condolences to our German weebs, though.

Hayami out there with the armor-piercing questions.
Reading that post triggered a memory about there being a similar line in this game... went digging for it... and found it.
"Why do you lie...? Why do you lie to your own heart...?"
"...this way, no one would be hurt..."I'd rather lie than hurt others."...that's what I thought."
"Your feelings would hurt others... is that what you're saying?"
"...my feelings... or... my existence, maybe..."
Translations improved from whatever Google Translate + DeepL gave.
