That's one scary kid... Those soul-piercing glares...

Yuzumori-san will never look at me with those eyes

Living is suffering...

Holy shit! OTP! OTP! Ejima Eri sensei thanks for the early xmas present :) it came against my expectations <3. I don't usually favour pairings with age gaps but this one is too cute to reject. Defo looking forward to more.

From reddit:

Author is on one month break

:(

I don't go reddit much, but are you saying there's a thing on reddit about yuri stuff? Or it's just random reddit about this?

Each chapter gets a discussion thread on /r/manga. This search should always bring them up.

There are also some Yuzumori discussion threads in /r/ShoujoAi but there are less posts over there.

YEAH

FINALLY GAYS

This is probably my favorite on-going yuri manga now, for a variety of reasons. I saw there was some discussion about Yuzumori's intent behind her actions up until her confession, and I would point those people to the first 3 teaser chapters.

To me, at least, it is clear Yuzumori knows exactly what she's doing in each of those chapters, and given they were the framework for what happened later in the actual chapters, I think Yuzumori has always been teasing Mimika on purpose.

Really adds an interesting layer to all their interactions until now. I don't know how I'll survive the wait until the next chapter

Are the teaser chapters even canon tho? Yuzumori behaves a bit differently in the actual series (more composed and mature). Plus, the last teaser chapter has the same plot/event as chapters 7-8, but with a different "conclusion"; the plot lines diverge, they can't both "exist". I believe the teasers were just to give us a feel/examples of what direction the series would go/what it'd be like. Yuzumori is drawn a little differently too, the teasers seem like 'protypes'.
I don't think Yuzumori did anything with specific (teasing) intentions tbh. Plus, we realise in the last chapter that she hadn't realised how Mimika felt ("why didnt you say so from the start?"), and was as much in the dark about Mimika's feelings as she was about Yuzumori's. I don't think she had any idea of how Mimika perceived/was self conscious of their previous interactions. It's kinda farfetched tbh, considering the realism of Yuzumori's portrayal of a child, that she's been "completely aware" and actually teasing Mimika this whole time.

More than teasing, I think she was actually trying to figure out Mimika's intent toward her by giving her a few... opportunities, like asking her to button her shirt, sleeping beside her and so on. Even if she didn't try to get her to do anything sexual, she might have seek to see if she'd get flustered or something like that.

Yeah, the teaser chapters strike me more as "here's what I drew before it got serialized, now on with the real story". Not actually part of the continuity, more like a pilot.

That kinda makes the whole thing more disturbing in a very Lolita way, casting 9 or 10 year old Yuzumori as the temptress luring Mimika. Thus far, the series hasn't gone that way so I don't think that's actually the case. I certainly hope it isn't, since that would lead to a much darker place.

Dont fk with me!!
WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ONNNNNN?!?!!!!!!!!!!

What both of them may want is for Mimika to say something like, no, just any old little girl wouldn't do, I just love Yuzumori-san. But to carry that off you have to basically say, therefore we can't date for six or seven years. And stick to it.

I think that's what was going on. Yuzumori-san is trying to figure things out. I think Mimika as depicted is a character that really does have arrested development, though. So one possible outcome is they acknowledge Mimika's feelings, and, because they're at the same mental and emotional maturity level, they become real friends without any secrets between them.

It ain't what you way, it's what you can prove.

Dramatic! But really, I don't think this is the case because, well, Mimika did get flustered. Comically so. Yuzumori didn't do anything with the information, so it was pointless, if that was her plan.

Aside from finally mustering her courage and confessing, you mean ? :p

I think they both will get into a relationship.

Yuzumori will see it as a 100% platonic relationship, while Mimika will fight hard to contain her yuri lust. Now, that would be very comical.

You really think this will be a platonic relationship at this point? I think we're way past that point as of the most recent chapter.

Yuzumori wouldn't pop the question in the latest chapter if she thought they were only talking about being friends.

In fact, the whole reason Yuzumori was demonstrating her capacity for angry loli faces is because she thought Mimika was trying to friend zone her.

I think Yuzumori wants to make sure Mimika will remain her toy poodle for life.

Jesus damn I've only just read this, but god it felt so wrong and yet the fact that Mimika realises its so wrong just makes it a whole lot better

The fact that Yuzumori asked that question at the end tho, whew she knows a heck of a lot for a 9/whatever year old. I hope that Mimika says no, because if she says yes there is no hope for them both

Really I want them to be in their relationship, but with nothing sexual (as obviously, jesus), and the only lewd thing they can do would be hand holding

Otherwise I'm gonna be a heck uncomfortable. I was already edging to that point when she buttoned up her top (thankfully Mimika's reaction made me feel a little better) but yeahhh. It's OK so far because Mimika is very much aware that her intentions are PRETTY DISTURBING but if this goes to the place where Mimika is allowed to feel ok about her lusting for a elementary schoolkid, then im out

a whole month break? that's way too long.

Lol still trying to process everything. Is Yuzumori genuine though about liking Mimika? Or was she just saying that so she can get to the point of asking Mimika if she is a Lolicon?

We are seeing Yuzumori from Mimika's perspective right? Like maybe Yuzumori doesn't notice Mimika's flusteredness from her point of view hence why she was all like "why didn't you just say so?" Cuz from our perspective, Mimika is so flustered all the time and obviously into Yuzumori. Mimika's friend though has known Mimika for awhile so she can tell how she feels and stuff as well.

Also Yuzumori could've just been stringing Mimika along the whole time since it's been shown that she is quite mature for her age. I'm curious about what is Yuzumori's backstory.

Idk but I love the discussion that this manga brings up. Like there's so many theories you can go with this.

Agreed. I actually thought it was getting pretty interesting and funny because Mimika knows it's wrong. I too am hoping they won't normalize the whole lolicon aspect after they get together...

Yep, totally the safest way ever to figure out if someone's a lolicon. Wait 'till the third party left to confess, then see if they jump you or not. Stand right there with looking up a gun's barrel and pull the trigger to try and see if it's loaded. >>

It's possible that Yuzumori just talked about this fun older girl she's been spending time with, and either her family or friends at school were like "Ehhhh? An older person just suddenly took an interest in you? Are you sure they're not a lolicon?" and that Yuzumori doesn't really get it beyond the vague idea that lolicons hang around children and are bad in some nebulous way. Or that her school had a session about stranger danger and she started wondering if that applies to Mimika. You know, the normal ways a child would learn a word like that.

If she's actually supposed to be a regular child character and not a fetish fantasy, it wouldn't be really strange for her to not fully understand what it means for a person to be a lolicon, or what's necessarily dangerous about an adult taking a romantic or sexual interest in a child (she wouldn't understand the sexual aspect of it in the first place) but she may have connected the dots from lolicons are bad > lolicons like children > Mimika likes me > Mimika feels bad about it > "Does Mimika feel bad about it because she's a lolicon?"

Even if she can't make an informed value judgement on whether it's bad to be around a lolicon even if they seem to be nice, it's still possible for the story to go in a non-nefarious direction from this point, depending on what Mimika decides to do next and exactly how much Yuzumori is supposed to understand, but either way, the next couple of chapters seem like they might be pretty definitive about whether this has been a story about creepy things, or just a story that is itself creepy.

Now I remember what Yuzumori's expression in 11 reminded me of: Kuma Miko
