I'm very likely to be wrong, and someone already suggested it, but man, if Nodoka really did start a new phase of being out for hugs and wholesome moments with Akira, I'd lose my mind (in a good way). Can you imagine? Girl deserves it tbh.
Edit: As for Chika, I never had anything against her, I blame Selebus for it. He farmed her denial arc for way too long and that made me resent/get tired of the character itself, although logically that shouldn't have to do with anything. A shame.
I mean a few days ago a game with a similar idea was on the update queue. Instead of erectile dysfunction, it was chronic small pp. Quick look at it showed general mockery, being feminized by a dommy mommy, getting ntr'ed by a black guy, and having lolis tell you they don't feel your small penis (and one good ending where you get married and her pregante)
so i was very interested in this awhile ago till i discovered the dev wanted to make the mc fuck the literal child you encounter as part of one of the character paths. did they ever realize that was an awful idea and not do it or did they go full on pedo with it?
Well, no, but a lot of hints from the dev suggest that that will change on New Year’s Day with the next update.
OTOH, the dev is notorious for trolling his players. So maybe not.
Actual pedophilia (as opposed to legally borderline sex with girls who would have been juuuuust at the age of consent at the period in which this is supposedly set) is likely to get him booted from here and probably his one remaining revenue stream, so I’d be shocked.
He’s introduced time travel recently, so my personal theory is that he’s going to have the MC visit the three “wizards” in the future. Something like a foursome with 40-year-old Chinami, Tsukasa, and Nao-sama—which I’d be down for.
ETA: Also, as others have said, the game’s attitude about pedophilia and grooming is hardly erotic. The MC is a victim as well as an abuser. That’s part of what he’s struggling with. If he does have sex with one of the wizards, I am quite certain it won’t be played for jollies.
At the same time, we’re seeing all of the young women and girls through Sensei’s pedophilic eyes, and it’s very clear that he views them all sexually. Struggles with it, but definitely sees them that way.
No one commented on it, but we've come a long way from Yasu being afraid to sing in the company of others if she's right there with them singing as well. Good for her (although hopefully not despacito).

I just remembered, the scene of her singing by herself during that one Christmas event in the hotel where everyone went upstairs. It's probably still one of my favorites.
I'm not a huge Yasu fan, but I just can't help but feel for this poor girl, especially after we got to know her background story.

In terms of dealing pain to someone, I think this is really really good. Making her call you the pet name she chose for her husband, while cheating on him and still trying to not think about it... Nevermind that she found sex with Akira to be better the first time around, now she's even saying the same words she would have said to her husband. Well done, Selebus.
He literally has no other options, he has the supporters he has and getting more is basically impossible for him now, all he can do is squeeze as much juice out of the lemons he already has.
that or kyrie eleison. Although Yasu singing the battlehymm of the republic would be something else as well (I recommend the wasteland 3 version for that one, as it sounds as an actual battlehymm of people marching to war). Battle Priestess of Fallen Snow Yasu, let's go!
Edit: Random thought: Do we know that the flares aren't actually dust particles being illuminated by the first narrator?
Tsukasa doesn't know enough about sex to do that. She's closer to the next Io. Chinami would be the next Sekai once her good side breaks like it did in her sister.

Saki has no idea what Kumon-mi is, and yet she lived with Akira in the old district, didn't she? I don't think Yuu, Saki and Miu moved to another city after school either.
I can't recall if their world was TERMINAL21 or 22, but that she has no idea about the name of the city they are supposed to live in is certainly telling. I mean, it's not surprising that Kumon-mi is fake, but this is certainly another evidence of it.
Edit: It is also a bit weird that Akira can simply meet his mom and be super okay with it.
The Saki he's meeting is presumably substantially younger than any version he would have known. If I met a 16 year old version of my mother, I wouldn't recognize her at all. He doesn't understand the significance of the encounter until MUCH later in the story. Hell, even by the second dorm war, he couldn't remember her name and had no memory of her.
That's just another random girl to him during this encounter.
Very disappointing to find out that New Nodoka has kept the smirk.
I assume she deliberately got an identical copy of Chika's outfit to fuck with her, but I wonder - if she was able to remember Chika's outfit from the previous Christmas parties, wouldn't that mean she's managed to avoid a full factory reset? New Maya doesn't remember anything from the first three chapters. It would be anticlimactic (but not out of character for Selebus) if she continues acting exactly like she did pre 0.44 and nobody remembers that anything happened.

Edit: Random thought: Do we know that the flares aren't actually dust particles being illuminated by the first narrator?
I don't know about lens flares, but with how often Sel has been using them particularly in chapter 4 I'd guess they're just an aesthetic choice. Since you brought up the dust, though, I'll point out that it's another one of the little clues that connect Maya and the narrator.
I've wondered about this book since we first saw it. I'm no expert, but it definitely doesn't look like a standard Koikatsu asset, in which case Selebus might have went out of his way to find one that looks like this in particular. The cover looks consistent with gold-inlaid leather, so could it be the same book that Ami talks about in "On the Count of Three", and if so, what would that even mean?
The way that book was displayed sounds like a religious text. Maybe it's related to Hope or the trinity given that Saki was one of his followers (according to Yasu). Touka mentioned that the Tsukiokas have a book in their library about Yasu's god that is hundreds of years old, which could explain where Tsukasa got it. That doesn't sound like something Futaba would read, though.
A random thinking of mine, but... I muted the music in this game.
Not because it's bad, I never heard any glimpse of it, but because I can't read and «listen» at the same time.
And yeah, that preview with the «despaclito» karaoke scene, make me wonder if that song appear in the game...
