I've seen this dynamic in a bunch of other works too where one person never gives and the other person never receives (to the point where they don't even know how). And in the story it's treated as perfectly normal. But isn't that...kind of weird? Does that happen in real life?

Yeah, it does, but rarely. Usually, from what I heard from my local lesbian community, if the girl doesn’t want to do anything in bed and wants only to receive, her partner will probably break up with her after several sexual acts. Vice versa, if she doesn’t allow anything done to her, it is considered that she is shy, and most of the girls will try to make her open up and allow it.
But a situation like in manga happens sometimes anyway.

Omg i felt so grossed out too. Like every sweet feeling of the previous chapter was negated suddenly.

I felt that too. And I even feel angry - towards an author, towards Hime and towards her ex. I waited for continuation of the first doujin really much, but now I’ll just pretend it doesn’t exist.

We’re all fucking gay!!1

This work would be perfect with teensy bit of corrections. It was fun, interesting, beautiful, not really hard to follow except for several places, but the timeline was original and cool. And gosh, MC in a suite, so hottttt...
But it’s old. And it lacks couple of things. It feels like the author rushed to finish it. If only they would put a bit more of their soul into this manga.

I’d say they’re like sisters. Love each other? Yes. Live together? Yes. It’s just not romantic or sexual.

Labels are there for other people to understand what’s going on. If we don’t use them, we might as well read anout two boys or a girl and a cat, like why putting labels if it’s just lovey-dovey relationship? But I don’t want to read about boys and cats. I want my “labeled” yuri. And the thing is that this is not it. It’s just sisterly relationship, whether you want any labels or not.

What is it in Miyako’s mother’s mouth? Not a cigarette, not a candy, but what then?

I’ll answer these lines by anim8tur a bit late, but still:

Lonely teenage girl with extremely low self esteem falling for the first stranger to ever show interest in her does not feel that far fetched to me.
The fact that she went to meet Kuro at the thought of losing her means she’d already developed a strong emotional connection with Kuro over text.
Aya had nothing and then comes Sei, who’s interested in her, who took the time to message her daily just to ask about her, who sparks her own curiosity, who awakened her sexual desires, the combination of all that makes it easy for Sei to become her reason to be alive.

This is soooo ridiculous. Like, are you a woman? Have you EVER been to dating apps, sites etc? When you create an account, you get like dozens of messages, and 99,9% of them are shit like “Are you a virgin? What are you wearing? Wanna see my dick? Have you got a boyfriend? Do you like cunnilingus? You have nice boobs, wanna lick ‘em!” and stuff like that. From what we can see, Sei did exactly the same. She started her perverted chat soon after they began talking. Daily, yeah, like for a week? So how do you think, are there a lot of woman who “develop a strong emotional connection” to that kinda fellows? None. Really, practically zero. Because it’s disturbing. Because it’s invading privacy. It’s uncomfortable. And it’s way more so when you are a lonely teenage girl with extremely low self esteem. So something like a girl falling in love with a stranger who writes in a chat “I wanna fuk u real hard ooohhh babe” is not even forced, it’s stupid and funny. It’s almost comedy. Thus this romance is pulled out of an ass. It’s called “bad writing”.

This is so funny. “I’d lose my only reason to be alive”, my ass. Where did the romance even come from? Like, there was a girl... She wanted some friends... She met a woman who harassed her online and offline, that pissed her off... Then they had huge amount of sex, just because Aya couldn’t and didn’t know how to refuse... That’s all, where’s love, where’s “reason to be alive”? Did I miss something?
The sujet is extremely forced with this romance thing. There was no development of it, it came out of nowhere. So far it’s just sophisticatedly drawn porn. Which would be okay if it wasn’t so pretentious.

Romance Subtext
How does that work?

Same question.

Every human being in this manga is trash without self respect. I can’t even choose who I dislike more.
And I thought at first that it was relatable, yeah, sure...
Even art is weird and jumpy. Some frames of Aya are incredibly beautiful, but the rest is really disturbing.

Gee, they better explain that lesbian porn on her TV, or else! It really got me curious...

??????? Hhhuuuuuuuuuuuh??????? Whaaaa????¿¿¿?¿??¿

Welp, I’ll just pretend last page doesn’t exist.

their bodies match

Wah? I thought Miwa sucked at sex and Saeko didn’t really like that pillow princess.

Seriously though, discovering her sexuality? Her body’s craving for something? Like, is there anyone with anything even CLOSE to what was happening in Ayame’s head? And her life??? I’m pretty sure this story was more unrealistic than Harry Potter. So...wasn’t really enjoyable for me. Hope Shuninta will make something normal next time.

Ugh, everything went perfectly fine until boys showed up. It’s like someone made the author include them, and not only they did it but also added some stupid romance stuff. So long for yuriverse.

I lost it on the page where she put on a mask. I’m still crying from laughter. Literally. Crying.

I still don’t understand the deal with pub owner’s name. Misery Horror, really? I would kill myself the moment I realized everyone around was named Fine, Iris, Mara and I was named Misery Horror, Hellish Hell or Fuck Shit.

I thought they already had sex in chapter 4, so the last few chapters were kinda weird about all that embarrassment.

Ayane sure is strange, she seems so unnecessarily dramatic, always so mysterious with a difficult past, but it’s always left out of the story. We know almost nothing about her and it frustrates me... I don’t even know why she doesn’t go to school and where does she get money for living. Maybe I forgot and just need to reread, but oh well.

I’m lying in bed and literally genuinely laughing my ass off. Just like Nana. This manga is my favorite in such a while. A true masterpiece of slice of life.

I Lol'd at your unironic use of the word misandry

Ikr? Some people hating another entire group of people on principle? In this day and age? How preposterous!

Poor you, getting hated and treated like trash in 2,5 books and mangas in 5000 years of humanity culture... Can’t even iimagine how hard it is to handle something like that!

Of course i start reading this with a cluffhanger like that......of course i do

Haha, exactly same.

a millionth fujoshit that likes yaoi instead of god-like yuri

No! Please no, no, NO, PLEASE NO! NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I walked past the tree shop recently and they had that pink tree. It looked so unnatural and disgusting, I thought “who tf could buy such a trash?”, later I read this chapter...

NO ONE here will tell you that pedophily is a good thing and will tell you they want to dothose things with a real little girl because they know it's illegal

That’s an argument against your point though lol.
