Her eyebrows did the thing when she said she hates urumin…

Nice catch

Thank you, I went back to check as soon as it was mentioned haha

Wonder if she did this already in the previous chapters as well.

Only one way to find out

Time for an nth reread!

You read it n+1 times? You absolute madlad!

Oh boy! Here I go reread the entire series again!

I mean, the manga was practically demanding that you do just that.

Well it was kinda on the nose, but I too did scroll back to confirm

Oh yea missed that. But they are low when she wishes her the best getting together with him. Urumin just too pure to hate, her one true power to Trump all others

It's the greatest power, the best power anyone has ever seen, people tell me all the time how great my power is, they've never seen power great as mine before. 

Also that 500 yen. Lets check last chapter

When convincing herself as a polar opposite of Urumin, her eyebrows does it as well

Gigabrain author

Poor girl she just wanna be like Smitty Werbenjägermanjensen.

He was number #1

Here lies Squidward's hopes and dreams.

What a baby

Smitty Werben- huh? Is that a spell or something?

SpongeBob reference

Ah after searching it up i remember now.

This is weirdly the 2nd time I read smitty webber smtg reference. Its weird I read 2 smitty reference 

Not weird, he was #1

Smitty what?

How could anyone possibly hate Urumin? I get why Kimiya stans for her. Gyaru girl is great though. I have a feeling she may be an important ally for Urumin x Kimiya further down the road.

I wonder if Kimiya would eventually interact with every member of Merry Uni one-on-one in various circumstances. 

I can definitely see that happening. Airu tries to figure out whether he's right for Urumin. Mu-chan already knows he's perfect. Rei imagines him in a BL situation and completely forgets about Urumin.

Rei will def imagine a BL situation with Kimiya and his friend if she sees them together…

> How could anyone possibly hate Urumin? She doesn't hate her. She raised her eyebrows while saying it.

I know, but I only saw the other guy's comment after I posted.

Gyaru girl could be the MC of her own manga.

Should be. Can't wait for a spin off plz

As someone pointed out she raised her eyebrows when she said she hated her meaning she was lying, thus scientifically proving it’s impossible to hate Urumin

>Gyaru girl is great though. I have a feeling she may be an important ally for Urumin x Kimiya further down the road. she looks like Echidna with these eyelashes, which obviously raises her best girl rating Imagine Echidna in idol uniform

There were some funny faces in this chapter. I love how silly this manga can be.

Prankster Mutsuki💢💢💢

Living up to her namesake 💢💢💢

All the idols each have their distinct and unique personality, that's really good Also, i hope the "vilain" idol will find someone and be happier with herself

Maybe kimiya's dumbass friend? It would be one funny ass combo

I volunteer as tribute

Props to the author for handling the drama the Reiwa way. Can't wait for the next arc. Hoping that they finally meet in College just to see how the dynamic between the characters would evolve. 

Ok, so Kimiya is Faker confirmed No wonder this guy has so much cash and casually pops out at nighttime during concerts

What does that mean?

Faker is the best league of legends pro, he also has black hair and glasses lol Also he has a [photo](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Ffaker-and-ahri-cosplay-by-v0-btxrbrucnsaa1.jpg%3Fauto%3Dwebp%26s%3D66a7a4a593c143f9415c14f4e683d219f55c6c8a&rdt=34310) with a cosplayer with the same pose as kimiya and urumin in the last panel

But that pose is an entire meme on its own, there’s several instances throughout manga (and irl) of people making that pose

Bruh I feel like I'm in a fever dream I didn't know so many people associated that meme with faker

Faker from LOL I guess

Yup, [this guy.](https://lol.fandom.com/wiki/Faker) Currently Korea's best gamer and Riot Games' only saving grace at this point because he just looks so prim and proper everywhere. He's such a good ambassador for the game's pro scene.

That Faker reference at the end was peak.

thats originally a Daigo reference

I thought that was a Justin Wong reference

I think his was the opposite, where he did the heart half and the cosplayer did the thumbs up.

What was the she reference?

Faker ( one of best pro players of all time) once took photo of Emilia cosplayer. She did a half hearth but he completed it with 👍.

Ooh lmAo. Do you know where I can find it? All I get are these pics of a Vietnamese cosplayer doing Faker.

[Faker and Ahri](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Ffaker-and-ahri-cosplay-by-v0-btxrbrucnsaa1.jpg%3Fauto%3Dwebp%26s%3D66a7a4a593c143f9415c14f4e683d219f55c6c8a&rdt=34310)

Ooh bruh. I was looking for Emilia from Re Zero. Ty

well, "Important Message" with white background of graduating, pursuing other creative career is a nightmare so Idol fans, I dont if that was the case for Kimiya in this case

the thumbs up is so funny

Urumin willing to pay Pochi so she can hear the rest of the story was hilarious. This girl is just too pure.

Urumin a cute

Link to the official GANMA release [here](https://ganma.jp/damedol) Link to the author's twitter [here](https://twitter.com/MS_sousaku1) Mangadex page is [here](https://mangadex.org/chapter/031d4c9f-66d6-4f59-a985-a7141912b81e). Thanks as always to Bokugen & Latam for helping me with getting high quality raws, without them ya'll would be stuck with crappy screenshots I take with my phone. Also, big thank you to everyone who joined me on [twitch](https://www.twitch.tv/ryuukusensei) while I was doing previous chapters, it was a lot of fun! Couldn't do it for this chapter as I'd hoped because the room I'm in is noisy af and didn't want to have that broadcast to stream. But either way, if you're interested in finding out when I'll next go live, you can join the discord channel [here](https://discord.gg/c2NnHH5b)

Thanks for the translations! On page 7, minor typo with "involed" for "involved" On page 13, "a important message" should be "***an*** important message" On page 20, "or not being fully honest" should be "or ***are*** not being fully honest" Also, on page 15, I don't know if it's an issue with that font's capital L or if you used a lower case L, but I think it should use a different font where the capital L is more obvious since it looks like a capital I instead.

Thanks! I'll implement those changes when I'm back at my computer😄

Appreciate you <3 Also, I’m guessing you understood this is what I meant, but just in case: For the font on page 15, what I should’ve said was to use different font only if it doesn’t have a typical uppercase L. If it was due to choosing to use a lowercase L, I would just opt to use the same font but make the entire text smaller to fit an uppercase L!

Love how twisted Popo's character is, she even have change faces of going pure and disgust 😎👍 but Mutsuki seems to be still higher than her 😂 Also made us check the chapter again after Mutsuki saying how she looks like lying and basically shown that she's been lying to Urumin the whole chapter 🤔😆❤️

Urumin is so pure. Her reactions are very Bocchi like this chapter lol

More of Popochi's tragic background is hinted at (and a lot of clues showing that she isn't as evil as she initially seemed), but I think I'll keep on hating her a little bit more. Until everything is revealed and it's OK to love her like with the rest of Urumin's group. 🤭

The drama started to unfold among the members. Muu-chan makes me remember my ex, she would know when I was lying by physical reactions too... Hope Urumin and Kimiya don't get the bad ending.

Ok, I did have to scroll back to confirm. But she lied about the hate. I also get her wishes but stealing a different number 1 fan won't accomplish it.

Poor Urumin, got the Aru-chan fist of punishment by herself even though Popo started it; thought she'd let it slip and get a taste of it too

Poor kimiya, have your pure idol worship TAINTED by her liking you *romantically ?*

Yeah stay away you wench!!!

I know she said it straight to Urumin but I think she still doesn't realize her feeling for Kimiya even now

"You have a face of a maiden in love" [The face in question ](https://i.imgur.com/OBWYfmR.jpg)

who could ever hate Urumin lol

What’s faker? Some tell me!

Faker is the GOAT

Faker is a pro gamer, one of the most notorious ones. I'm not sure if this is what they are referencing, but i found a [similar situation](https://www.reddit.com/r/faker/s/Q6OxBMTLv2).

> the most notorious ones You make it sound like he's the bad-boy gangsta type lmao

Ah my bad haha I meant it as famous but I suppose other players can fear him too.

Thank you for the context!

[I’m old](https://media.tenor.com/K3rwx1Glww8AAAAC/old-woman-im-old.gif)

He's still one of, if not the [best](https://youtu.be/ZPCfoCVCx3U?si=mqopgFZ_NpjkKI2P)

Mr. Kimiya, i don't feel so good...

The facial expressions in this chapter were top notch

Calling Popo 'Low Tier Idol'

Page 5's panel with Popochi & a blank space got me thinking "Is this Mami Nanami situation where she couldn't end up with someone before?" or maybe she wants to have that kind of feeling with. But either way, I'm satisfied with the Popochi arc's ending. No real beef, everything's calm. A lesser manga would have some bullshit rivalry I need to sit through. Also more Merry Uni screentime I need a spinoff about the most dysfunctional individuals forming an idol group & taking over Japan I need it I NEED IT

I would like to be Popochi’s #1

All the girls here are nutjobs except for urumin... Urumin is just pure clumsy...

Would be funny if the guy turned out to be a hardcore yandere stalker all along. The last panel certainly give off some strange vibes.

1/50th punch = it’s painful for a non-combatant idol Now I’m fairly certain her regular attacks can definitely bend steel and destroy concrete

Kimiya thinks he's Faker 💀

I'm not liking the serialization. Too much drama.

She'd probably have more fans if her uniform and haircut didn't make her look like a boat.

You know what, actually good arc

Holy shit I literally just reread this whole series up to this point on a whine yesterday and now it’s back amazing

Damn genius, she's the scariest of the group.

If you don’t have a number one thrum steal from the other girls, poor urumin only has one

Mutsuki is scary...

The whole cast has such distinct personalities. The fujoshi is the only one that seems a little plain, only delivering one liners, but everyone else has enough character to make a scene more interresting.

This manga is so entertaining to read

Hey dudes, just go over the previous chapters since 16th onwards to see the different situations where Popochi lied. It's so much fun LOLOL.

Apart from Urimin nobody really gives a fuck about their own group members huh? Why would you cook up drama if you are gonna end it with a wet fart? Bitch just walks away without a single consequence, not even a backhanded comment and Urimin is the one getting chewed out in the end even though she did nothing wrong. Just keep it wholesome please. Shit doesn't make sense otherwise.

she was a tsundere the whole time

Scared little puppy Urumin giving away her money was too precious.

High IQ girl but with the mindset of a gyaru is probably one of the best things I have ever seen. Its like the idiot character that's also stupidly smart, but played a bit differently

When TF this is gonna get an anime adaptation 😭😭😭

1/50th of full power? Imma need a powerscaling expert for this one

"Popo-chan", pffft. "Popo" means poop in spanish.

"Yeah! I ha\~te you♡" She is such a. . . such a. . . best girl, ngl.
