Yeah.

No problem here. Even though she’s my favorite, I’m use to not seeing her a lot. The important thing is, she does have some chapters to shine, and when it happens, she sucks the presence of everybody else. It's quality over quantity I guess.

Scans out
I like how Elsie seems to be enjoying shota Keima

[Randrak42]

Only one panel of a sleeping Mari? I am disappoint!

No but seriously, Elsie was adorable this chapter...as usual.

Does the last page mean that Keima has to capture a girl 10 years older than him?

I didn't know Keima is into older women.

First and foremost, Keima is not into RL women (for now). We saw his gradual changes when interacting with Ayumi & Chihiro, but whether his preference will totally change or not, remains to be seen.

Next, I’m not sure, but since his idol is Yokkyun then I guess he prefers (digital) girls of the same age (if not younger ).

[Saturn Beaver]

Well, he actually had some experience with older women. Jun is about 5 yrs older, Rieko is technically decades older, and Haqua/Diana as a demon/goddess respectively is hundreds of years old I think. But yeah, he's never done it as a shota so far.

[Obelisk ze Tormentor]

Agreed that he has experienced older women before. Still, that’s coz the situation forced him to get close to them, not because he’s interested or “into it” like what SaintessHeart said.

He captured a student teacher. Pretty close

A shota pimp in the making.

A better and more recent example of his change would be the last chapter, where he was self-conscious about bathing with his mother. Mari said he normally was uncaring and aloof about it.

Agreed to that too. It’s a part of his gradual changing. Little by little he began to prefer the 3Ds than the 2Ds I think.

Even though there's also the fact that he's a high-school boy inside a kid's body (and Mari referred to his kid-personality). So, of course he'll feel (at least a little bit) embarrassed when his young & hot mother suddenly drags him to bath together .

[ReddyRedWolf]

I'd like to see a 12 year old Yuri Nikaido meet 17 year old in 7 year old shota body Keima.

Either to see she's different when she is younger or just the same at that age.

That would be the "normal" reaction, but Keima is anything but normal. Keima actually having a normal reaction towards the opposite sex is very telling.

But I think any high-school boy, no matter what personality he has (yes, even personality like Keima's), will at least feel a bit embarrassed when his mother forced him to bath together. Not to mention that the said mother appears younger & more appealing than usual. He didn’t feel embarrassed when he was little, but puberty brings all the changes.

Naked bodies mean squat to Keima. (Haqua and Yui being case in point) But this is his mom treating him like a kid. Cause as far as she knows he is one.

Th only one he was really embarrassed in the bath is Elsie. Only because she is his self appointed imouto.

It’s not all about the naked body that makes Keima embarrassed bathing together with his mother (although that helps), but due to puberty + his gradual changing in perspective after conquering so many RL girls (+ Mari treating him like a kid is also an addition).

Keima did feel embarrassed though. It’s even stated in the chapter via Mari.

Spoiler for n e w chapter:

The rules:
