RIGHT TURN ONLY!! - Manga Musume Magica

I'm sorry but how in the hell is Monster Monsume is popular I'll have no idea. It is nothing but stupid fetish porn. Aren't you western otaku the same people who said 'enough of the fanservice'? You guys are HYPOCRITIES!

@ Ali07 Ahem, yes, Ruri! I thought I'd fixed that in my final draft. I'm getting as bad as my students... But you're right, she probably is an intentionally difficult character. I'm never fond of the two-faced type in manga (or anywhere, actually), though I'll admit she seemed to provoke a more extreme reaction in me.

Potentially, this could happen if/when they actually start using the keys to open Raku's locket. I wouldn't be surprised if Marika goes first and is eliminated that way, meaning her obsession is (essentially) based on nothing. Now that I think about that, it may be the only way that a girl would be "eliminated from the race".

At the end of it all, Ruri = best girl.

I think that's true, although if you look at all three keys, spoiler[Marika's is the only one with the same basic design around its head as Raku's lock, which may indicate that she's the "real" one]. This has me a bit worried, but perhaps it could be used to discuss the general silliness of this particular romance trope?

I tend to get very emotionally involved with whatever I'm reading, at least if it's well written. Just ask my poor sister about when I was reading Sara Douglas - she endured so many of my "Axis sucks" rants to the point where she asked why I was still reading the series.

So true!

Just to be "that guy": it's Spider-Man, not Spiderman.

And now, the recipe! It's easier than it sounds:

Ingredients:
3/4 cup sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
pinch salt (I usually use Kosher)
1 cup milk
1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, melted and cooled
1 cup maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
12 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

Cake:
Preheat oven to 350
In a bowl, combine dry ingredients (6 tbsp of the cocoa powder) and mix well. Whisk in the milk and half the butter. Pour (or scrape, it will be a stiff batter) into a buttered/greased 2 quart baking dish.

Sauce:
Slowly stir remaining cocoa into syrup. Bring syrup to a boil in a saucepan. When boiling, remove from heat and stir in remaining butter and vanilla. Pour over cake batter and bake 35-45 minutes. Will be puffy and sort of a bubbling golden brown. The sauce will form a "pudding" on the bottom; make sure to put it on the plate with that part on top.

Vanilla Cream:
Amounts of ingredients will vary. To heavy cream or whipping cream (anywhere from a pint to a quart) add between 1 and 3 tablespoons of sugar and between 1 and 3 teaspoons of vanilla extract. This totally depends on how sweet/strong you want the cream to taste; I usually use 1 1/2 of sugar and 2 of vanilla. Whip to desired consistency, preferably something fairly soft that still holds its form. Top hot pudding cake with cream, eat immediately.

You can also make this without the cocoa, which is also delicious.
