I was already cackling at the "Darling please destroy this random company for me", then the twist... oh, this so fun and good. Loved it

that was the best thing I've ever read

I've come back to reread this chapter 5 separate times today... Kishi's really good at sweet fluff when he puts his mind to it.

Also I've always appreciated his inclusion of Ian and Ed being dumb cheesy husbands, as well as the girls' yaoi fantasies, like he's poking fun at everyone without being judgemental or mean spirited. Like, if Virgins' Empire was exclusively about teenage girls' boobs and ass, I think I'd find it hard to digest, but since a lot of time is spent on the two men and fantasies of guys, it's clear he's going for a general lighthearted dumbassery.

fascinated by the artist's rendition of Miorine's absurd hair in this doujin in particular, like the geometry of it, the way layers elegantly balance each other, the subtle gradient of the shadow...

also loved the image of Miorine being super embarrassed after dropping all of her emotional and physical barriers in the throes of passion, they both sound like things she would do in that order. Well, not as much as I loved the hair.

Ah, makes me so happy, seeing these two in holiday garb year after year <3 Comforting

How is this so compelling? Is it the fact that the two MCs are effed up in very different ways yet they fit so nicely? What is this witchcraft?!

I think I ascended when I saw a KyoSaya chapter LET'S GOOOOOO

I'm gonna be extremely happy if a good chunk of the drama will be about Akira being pissed in that boyish, entitled way. It's certainly a much more interesting, realistic way to create conflict than the usual misunderstanding. I mean, it still is fundamentally, but it crosses into the total incomprehension that surrounds polyamory irl. Anger might be the least explored emotion in yuri as of yet, so this shall be a blast

Looks like Yuna want to stop feeling like a bullseye and have a bit more control. Dominate your life, gurl, you got the power!!!

Good build that made me prepare for the worst....

aaand then the gay hit.

This is the first instance of an age gap in which I felt actual empathy and discomfort for the protagonist. Takemiya Jin is so great.....

This side of the story is much more interesting (funny) to read - not to mention it's one of the few instances of a girl watching actual porn in a yuri manga. A sequel is direly needed!!!!

I need to see this serialized. BFF image included, of course.

Really makes you glad those two met, even though it really would've been better if things had been way different... you can only be brutally honest in life, since there's nothing you can do to change certain things. And I loooved the ending, it wrapped everything up really well.

Straight to fucking, more like

This last chapter reminded why I liked this manga so much in the first place (the previous two or three chapters were kinda "meh" for me), so much so that I cried reading the very last page.
After a period of self-found (self-imposed really) balance, Yuu breaks under the pressure of her unreasonable promises and she's back to facing one of the very first themes of the comics: am I able to love? Can I really be part of this game not just as a spectator but as an active member? Does what I feel even count as real love? And so on.
Like, who hasn't felt that way at least once? And this will be particularly true for queer people, but who hasn't held themself back or straight-up repressed their feelings for the sake of peace and quiet? Who hasn't shrugged off their emotions with a "whatever" whenever things turned out just the way you feared? This is the thing that I think makes this comics so much more relatable, and it's by far the theme I want to see explored the most. I really look forward to seeing how Yuu will climb out of this ravine. Keep it together, girl

Why is Hanamaru x Yoshiko x Technology the ultimate OT3?

I gasped for the cuteness goshhh <3

Seeing literal manga gods going full fangirl/fanboy over anything never gets old. That foreword is a piece of art.

I loved every page of this! The story is well paced and has realistic themes, not to mention the nice characterization and sweet portrayal of their relationship. Amazing

By Kodama Naoko's standards, this is a sweet and heartwarming story.

In a way, I enjoyed how this story kept us stuck inside Shuuko's head. We really don't know for sure how Kiku feels about the relationship or her future at all; we only know what Shuuko sees, so we share her uncertainty and anxiety.

I agree! Though I also think that's the reason why this story doesn't feel as angsty as some of Kodama's work: it's true that we are uncertain about what Kiku thinks, but at the same time we really have no reason to believe she means to leave Shuuko. That makes me a little more optimistic, at least

Now that explains everything! My favorite chapter

Sister was also a bad well...sister. Like man it's just tasteless to go after your bro's ex immediately after a break up AND after pretending to have sympathy for him.

to be fair, I don't think she was pretending, her thirst was just stronger than her common sense

No more ear-touching until marriage!! Absolutely sinful

sweet... I guess??????
