The President shows up in person to ask for Marin and Melan's help. Melan's avoiding giving any more details, but his job is to proect Marin and Brigadoon, which also means protecting Earth. The Day of Pasca has been mentioned vaguely twice now, with little further information given. I guess Grandpa Gen is Granny's true love and husband, which makes me wonder where exactly Gramps fits in.

Moe's mom seems to have transitioned from snobby jerk to actively evil. Makoto (call him Aloma) and Marin get caught in the rain. She takes him to her house, where he gets an eyeful of her changing out of wet clothes. Aloma has been researching the whole background thing with the blue swordsman 100 years ago. He sits like Grandpa Gen and still looks like Marin's imagination of the Blue Swordsman (...but she met the real one??) so that's gonna be relevant eventually I'm sure. He informs Marin that Brigadoon appears every 100 years, and talks about Edward Scissorhands, which doesn't yet exist. He later draws a parallel between Edward's impossible love and Melan. Marin asks if he's from Brigadoon, and he tells her that *she* is. The two worlds are falling towards each other and that's why all this is happening with the monomakia. Here's the scene that stuck in my head! Aloma pushes her up against the wall and says he wants to know everything about her body and secrets, while she thinks about how she's not wearing any panties and isn't ready. He's PROBABLY talking about her connection to all this, but I have never been more relieved to have a MONSTER ATTACK.

Melan is having some trouble in the ensuing 1v3 fight, but the save is made by Pyon and Eryun. They seem to be similar to Melan, and showed up earlier to spout Vague Cool Person Non-Exposition about how the Day of Pasca is near and Brigadoon will end if Crace doesn't return soon. They call Melan a traitor and pull swords on him.

My rating: 5/10
I like the character designs and general artwork. The premise and setting are somewhat interesting, and I'd be interested in reading more if we didn't keep putting the 13-year-old in sexual situations. Nothing particularly graphic even was shown (we saw some sideboob for a panel and that's all) but the frequency of implied pantyshots and such was enough to be a turnoff. I am noticing a theme in this topic of things being too fanservicey for me, and I don't think this will be the only time it drags down a manga I could have liked. We haven't even gotten to my ecchi-er stuff that I used to really like, but I'm not looking forward to my reactions when I get there.
