Just finished Blackberry Honey. Though I had read only one other ebi-hime VN before, being Once Upon a Windswept Night which certainly wasn't bad but not particularly interesting, I did not expect such quality. Blackberry Honey is by far my favorite Visual Novel, though I haven't read too many, especially more mainstream affair such as Fruit of Grisaia. Well written, distinct and interesting characters, and H scenes that don't go too far (the dialogue for them is closer to more typical affair and almost out of place, but leagues better than most). Do yourself a favor and purchase this game, put the text on auto mode, sit back (or otherwise) and enjoy the roller coaster.

Yup, Poly still triggers me. Watching the dynamics play out was annoying, but if that's your thing that's fine I guess.

I am a big fan of Comaku's art, but I'm definitely not into threesome or poly which obviously was a theme that appeared sort of suddenly in "Is My Hobby Weird?". I mean as far as porn goes it's hot, but for me it really detracts from my enjoyment of the characters' development. I feel that this is an inevitability for this series, but if not that would make my day. Otherwise, I'm sure everyone else who isn't bothered by it will thoroughly enjoy it.

Somehow I think she's more of a psychopath than a yandere.

I'm just going to tell myself that Yuki is only concerned with baseball guy because she doesn't want him to steal Akari away. Yeah that's totally it, yup, uh-huh.

While I can't relate to the MC's current predicament, his internal monologue and dialogues bring a laughing tear to my eye. For male yuri fans there has never been a character we could empathize with as deeply.

Yeah Fujiwara is a dirtbag but Hotaru and Yuma, Hotaru particularly, are on a level of dumb that is frustrating. Yes, Hotaru was probably being manipulated by Fujiwara, but I don't think there was ever a point of which Hotaru couldn't've said she wanted to break up, but on the other hand it's likely it wasn't quite that simple. In the end, the only character that was worth anything was Takeda, because his intentions were clear and he was respectful of everyone around him, for the most part anyway. Based Takeda. Now that Hotaru went off the deep end and Fujiwara turns out to actually be a shit person I just can't be happy. Best case scenario is Yuma and Hotaru's convey their feelings are mutual and Fujiwara is removed enitrely from the picture somehow and ignored from there on. Even then, all the events prior make for a story about a dumb scenario where two girls either do or don't become lovers for mostly dumb reasons.

Well I've finally been turned off of this manga. Can't say I shouldn't have seen it coming. Contrary to what some people say about Kodama's work this is really the only one with a story that focuses on more depressing themes that I've read to this point though.

All you people talking about how Fujiwara blackmailed Hotaru into sex in this chapter need to re-read the chapter. Hotaru agreed to have sex with him because she was jealous of seeing Yuma and Takeda together. Fujiwara only reveals he knew about them kissing after they had sex. I'm not trying to defend what him I'm just saying she willingly agreed making it consensual. All we can say is love makes people do stupid things

I'm actually not sure they had sex. If they did then what happens next is up in the air. I think that Hotaru putting on her Kimono was to bait a reaction from Yuma. If you think about it it's just not normal to open a door up to your naked girlfriend, but then again having a naked girl in your room is not normal for a guy either. I have a feeling Fujiwara wants to see Yuma and Hotaru's relationship fall apart.

Boy do I miss the days when most of Shuninta's works were mostly fluff. If preferring that to this is wrong I don't want to be right. In all seriousness though, while having stories with complex sociological themes such as this and (imo disgusting) The Feelings We all Must Endure is good for the genre, it's just not for me. Seeing as I'm a male that probably leans somewhere close to the "asexual" side I can only infer these stories probably offer more realistic depictions of lgbt relationships and personal sociology. Shuninta, though, has produced a variety of works though so I guess if anything you'd call her an accomplished author. (Somehow I feel these thoughts are in-cohesive)

That actually made me angry. Seeing as they're psychopaths they probably won't have a happy ending but damn.

Well I gotta say didn't expect this, but can't really put a finger on the mood between them this chapter.

Made an account just to let you guys know that this VN Starlight Vega on Kickstarter is a thing https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1005595766/starlight-vega-visual-novel/updates of which I found while scrolling though r/yuri. Kinda late I guess but looking through the thread I haven's seen any posts on it and from what OP says this is the place to post about it. Would be pretty awesome to reach those last 2 stretch goals.

Look again

Thanks. Is there a search function for the forum? Tried my hardest but couldn't find it.
