You gotta admit, that's more than the usual provocative for Kurosaki — which leads Typical Shoujo Triad member dalina02-san to quiz since when shoujo manga released here became so semut
—smut—inclined. (She observes a similar trend in the penultimate Sugar Family, blurbed Below the Cut.) Not that we're, I mean, I'm complainin'. In any case, find out what spawned moar fangirly squees in Electric Daisy 6, out now. (The quoted lines come from File 29: It Doesn't Come True to a Pretty Child
.)
Shin susses out the secret deal between HyoRin and Yul, leading the prince to break off with HyoRin. (About time.) Yul, meanwhile, goes a step further and bets the crown, successfully blackmailing ChaeKyeong into choosing him.

On her way to meet Ha Ru, Yeong Won is snatched by a group of delinquents out to get Ha Ru. On the surface, Ha Ru couldn't be bothered but actions speak: he eventually goes and saves Yeong Won.
Does Ha Ru's louder than words rescue mean he's starting to like Yeong Won?
Meanwhile, Bo Ra hasn't given up on Ha Ru and issues a challenge, with Ha Ru as the prize. Who will victory favor — Bo Ra or Yeong Won?
For some strange reason, Yuka finds herself attending her step-brother Taichi's high school reunion. What lengths will Siscon oniichan Taichi go to to save Yuka from the “wolves” (his own friends) roaming the party?
And as if problems with one guy weren't enough, Yuka also continues to puzzle over her changing relationship with junior Arata. Arata's advances on Yuka make Taichi's hackles rise, prompting the possessive lover, I mean, brother, to throw down the gauntlet during the festival the trio attends.
DING! Who will win this match?
More than the winner, I'm more intrigued by —
D*mn Taichi. His kissing technique has really leveled up.
Aren't you similarly titillated by that chapter 16 line? This, along with chapter 17 dialogue I want to strip this yukata off you,
are what made dalina02-san note the prospect of smut, albeit largely a reader fantasy at this point. (And likely to remain so.)
Sugar Family 5 compiles chapters 16 through 19, as well as the one-shot Kid X Box
