The end of chapter 7 broke me.
The end of chapter 8 made me laugh.
I love these two together. I need more flashback Shinobu! She's so cute!

Haha. I know what you mean. Another picture usually comes to mind when I see the "non-moe art" tag. When I think of "non-moe art", I think of serious works like "Indigo Blue", which has cleanly drawn lines, no exaggerated "anime" expressions at all. I wasn't expecting a very "pretty" art style like this series. The proportions are more realistic and all, but it still has a style which makes you think, "anime". If this is considered non-moe art, then a lot of other works on here should be considered so as well.

Anyways, this story is so awesome. The couple here is really sexy, and they have great chemistry.

This series has always been and would be my favorite manga....Just my type in evey aspects! I love them! Thank you!

I love this couple! And I love how you can see deeper into their relationship with every update and fall in love with the characters even more each time.

I love how this series has been slowly progressing into the relationship of the two main characters and their personalities. I definitely cannot wait for more.

My goodnesses
I absolutely adore these two!

Maybe the moral of the story is "communicate with your significant other"?

the covers of le paradis really bother me....

That's Shigisawa Kaya for you.

Both of them are so completely and fundamentally different (with what we are told of their hobbies, anyway) yet... it is fascinating following their romance. I'm not sure if it is just me but I can't see a vindictive tension that more often than not permeates a relationship with two people who are so mismatched (personality and lifestyle-wise) that usually leads to the break down of the relationship. I love how they stay together despite how in most cases, they drive each other insaaaaaaaane (in the best possible way, of course. Maybe).

what is this fluffy feeling..? Didnt expected this to be that nice.
now my day is completed =w=

aww... now I really want to find out if there's a special reason/why Shinobu went from long hair to short hair.

and Naomi's probably gotta be the best wingwoman ever haha.

Some how i can't stop smiling :D. that chapter 8.5 <3

I feel this one's close to an ending, i beg to be ALL WRONG! I love this series, it's so nice to have a story with no high schoolers for a change <3 i need moar. Lililicious, thank you very much!

Not even close, Chapter 7 8 and 8.5 is from Rakuen's Le Paradis Vol 5 and as of Volume 12 this series is still running.

You'll have plenty of mismatched couple antics in the future.

God, this was so good. Equal parts clever, funny, romantic, dramatic. It's great to hear that so much more is on the way... assuming it gets scanlated. Awesome.

Oh my god I love this story, how often does a new chapter get released?

Oooooooooooooo, and suddenly everything makes sense.

darn it adorable couple
suddenly the loneliness strike ...

Best Christmas present ever....

hnnnnnngggghhhhhh

It's cool when not only we see Shinobu and Takako relationship's trail but also their friends activities too, the guy-looking girlfriend and the other friend.

They're cool gang. And of course they occasionally give out funny remarks for the yuri couple lol.

So I've been reading this manga for a while, and I just now realized that the short black-haired character is actually female... wow. lol

The last chapter was so great! I got happy warm-fuzzies from reading it. I wish I could meet someone and have a relationship like those two. <3

"Well, guess I'll go have a drink with that guy I just met."
That and the earlier page, did that just imply what I think it did? That casually?
That is not a pleasant train of thought to go down at the start of a day.

Well, I don't know if I'd take it that seriously. I doubt she was going to go sleep with him or anything, just hang out and chat in a public place. Which, indeed, is all you see happening on the splash page.

I think it's interesting that the other people at the conference know about Shinobu's relationship even though she doesn't let on to her students. They seem to take it pretty casually, which fits with the overall tone of the series.

Bringing fireworks back that is so sweet.

Yeah, I just mean the setup that a married woman goes on a trip with her friends and just starts flirting with guys at a bar while lying about it
And her friends are just "yeah, whatever"
