The two being completely different characters with no connection whatsoever would create some interesting ways the story could develop. Like - Subaru reveals that to her co-worker that she has been seeing an escort (certain that the two are the same people and accidentally outing herself in the process). But while Mutou is shocked to find out that she has a double-ganger working this kind of profession this also gives an opening for the two of them to now grow closer (especially sinds Mutou now knows that Subaru is both into girls and finds her personally to be physically attractive).

But - yeah - it's unlikely that something like this will happen. Probably either - they are the same person - or - they are (twin-)sisters.

Yeah, interesting either way; and because Amazuki typically works on shorter series, I don't expect things to move at a glacial pace. We should understand a lot more by next chapter.

Okay I have heard orgasms can relax you. So I'm willing to accept the premise. But maybe try masturbation before taking the giant leap to visiting sex workers.

keep in mind she's been sleep deprived for 3 months

Also she seems to be craving human company and sexual contact, so there's that lol

I get that. After all a woman learning self love makes her sleepy is a one shot story at best. lol I'm just saying that I would have thought that masturbation would have at least been considered as an option before going with a sex worker, especially considering the MC seemed reluctant try the sex worker route.

EDIT: I take back the masturbation thing couldn't make a good series. I just had an idea. Someone could draw a series where we see the woman's masturbation fantasies like they are actually happening. It could be a new fantasy every chapter.

Unrelated to the overall subject of Dynasty but a manga about a lesbian fujoshi making up an ongoing yaoi scenario and doing just that as a subplot to a main lesbian romance would be kind of awesome. Too bad this would have the tiniest viable market possible

(yes, lesbian that masturbates to gay porn is a real type of person.)

I'm pretty sure there are a few series similar to this, like one about Fetishes or with Fetishes in the title. Can't fully remember the title. Think the title mentioned a fetish notebook or something. There are one or two series where chapters are fantasies as well (not masturbation focused though).

The twin possibility is fun because presumably she knows her sister is an escort so she knows MC hired her. Nice and awkward

There's no shortage of amazing adult yuri so I'm confused what this comment is implying. You would only need to read your 2nd Amazaki Suika work to shatter this illusion. Free yourself from your shackles. (insert image of dolphin with rainbows jumping out the ocean)

There's this whole thing where people act like there's no Yuri manga with adults, when there's actually been a lot for years. Plus in recent years we've had live action adaptions of at least 3 of those adult Yuri manga. Also along similar lines whenever a series like Wicked Spot is axed people go it's always the adult Yuri that get cancelled and never the ones with teenagers!, which is not true. There's varied examples but notably Love Bullet had to get saved, also Dear Flowers That Bloom in Days of Yore is struggling to not get cancelled recently. As I saw someone that shared the news about Dear Flowers say, "aside from a select few really popular ones, it's probably safe to assume all Yuri manga perpetually exist on the edge of cancellation", which I'd say that's generally true. Western Cartoon example but Owl House was popular and imo amazing, yet it still met an early tragic death due to bigotry. As someone that loves series with characters of all ages I think the infighting of "adult vs teenager" to be unproductive, when we need both and we all share a common enemy when it comes to cancellations.

Less serious, if we're all looking for an easy common enemy we can even team up with het romance and Yaoi to have the common enemy among everyone that is Rent-A-Girlfriend's something like 442 ongoing manga chapters and 5 anime seasons lmao

And this impression can only "kind of" make sense for manga because Korean, Western and Chinese series are almost all adults and have many amazing series that are very dynamic and plot focused; so there's no real way to argue it's mostly teens as a whole. Sometimes people make this claim broadly and that I really ignore and assume the person isn't being serious.

And this is how I find out Wicked Spot got chopped :(
Disappointing as fuck.

Wicked Spot is one of the rare times where people seem to be in agreement that the chopping was deserved.

It had a really strong start, then suddenly turned into an aimless mess - but maybe (pure speculation on my part) that was because it just didn't sell that well at the start, so the author just started throwing stuff at the wall at a breakneck pace hoping that something would gain the attention of potential readers.

Damn, really? That's unfortunate. I was only a handful of chapters deep so I guess I missed that part. Yeah, it did start strong so def a bummer to hear it took a turn.

What if it's a Paranoia Agent episode 3 situation and they have the same body but two different identities? (Not in favor of that scenario myself but like, it's possible...)

The whiplash between Subaru's traumatized face and her ex's happy smile

So like are we not going to look into if Tsuki is the person she works with? Was that just a random one off thing because Tsuki was on her mind at the time? I thought that would be a major plot point maybe were gonna come back around to that.

But even showing Tsuki's side at the start it doesn't look like it's the same person at all. It's nice she's wanting to find someone that loves her seems that person is a lot closer than she expects. Gonna be awkward to get over that hump though since Subaru most likely will think anything nice she actually does say will just be part of her job.

And I really hate her ex. A cheating scumbag has no right to be that happy around the person she cheated on. Subaru was so happy before that moment she just wanted to eat her KFC in peace and enjoy the rest of her day. Now it's ruined. I have a feeling I will hate her scumbag ex even more next chapter knowing she's acting like nothing ever happened.

I was hoping the ex would just be a faceless bad memory that wouldn't continuously re-enter the story, but I guess that was too much to hope for. Which is a bit unfortunate, given Subaru seems like she's not really able to stick up for herself, meaning the ex is just going to walk all over her and undo whatever progress Subaru's made in her mental disposition to this point. It's good that she has Tsuki in her life, but the wall of "she's just playing this role" is going to be in the way between them for awhile yet, and that's before we get to whatever additional trauma is at play for Subaru involving her mother and the name she was given.
I don't expect some big dramatic plot point involving revenge for Subaru or comeuppance for the ex, but I also hope this reunion doesn't turn into misery porn for Subaru over several chapters, or something. Either way, next chapter is not going to be pleasant I imagine, but I do look forward to seeing where the story goes from here.

Well on the positive side she’s not the most traumatized character named Subaru at least lol

Yes. Her going to jail for physical violence towards someone that doesn’t deserve more of her time isn’t worth it.

To say nothing that even in three chapters' worth of story, nothing about Subaru says that she'd get suddenly violent like that even toward someone who hurt her so badly.
