I decided to review this

https://terrenceswiff.wordpress.com/2016/08/01/honto-no-kanojo/

It's small, but really it's a brilliant little series. It does a lot right and is unique to boot. In spite, or perhaps BECAUSE of its subject matter it tells a just plain really nice love story. I really liked it.

^Bondage and Discipline, Sadism and Masochism

I learned it as a combination of three things:

Bondage and Discipline
Dominance and Submission
Sadism and Masochism

BD
DS
SM

Only all squeezed together (painfully, one hopes) to form a single abbreviation.

As a warm, cuddly sadist, I enjoyed the hell out of this manga. I started reading it and thought it was going to be a pure gag manga, much like the relationship between Mayami and Reina in Yandere Kanojo.

But then something happened there in the middle chapters and the characters got some actual development and then it surprisingly turned into a touching story about love and getting in touch with your inner sadist (which is a topic with which I have some experience).

Hearkening back to the discussion about the nature of BDSM from three pages and two years ago, I personally don't enjoy BDSM without sex. My relationship to BDSM without sex is roughly the same as my relationship to non-alcoholic beer or decaffeinated coffee.

That's just me, though. I am fully aware that there are many BDSM practicioners who do it in a completely non-sexual way. Way back in the day, I used to go to the Black Rose Society meetings in DC. One of the folks who started it was a guy named Jack. Jack was like this cheerful little dude who looked like a fire hydrant and acted like a leprechaun. And he was totally into non-sexual BDSM. Had a $10,000 dungeon built in his basement, but his wife wasn't into BDSM. He only had sex with her, but had a stable of willing subs who would come over and let him beat the snot out of 'em.

So anyways, yeah, I get it that those folks exist. More power to 'em. But it ain't for me. My only objection to the two-year-old-discussion-that-I-am-now-bringing-back-from-the-dead is the notion that BDSM and sex are linked only because of Hollywood and "ignorant writers". Because I was combining those two things like chocolate and peanut butter nearly 20 years before 50 Shades of Gray ever saw the light of day. And there is certainly a rich and storied history of combining those two things in fiction (e.g. Anne Rice's Sleeping Beauty, The Story of O, hell even the Gor novels by John Norman).

This was a really good one, I loved the art and the progression of the MC's. The perfect topping though that really made me love it was that last chapter how she stepped in and that kiss, perfect end. Though... I think the thigh stepping at the amusement park was pretty perfect too. >_>

I'm glad that this actually had a series like the first chapter I read was from another website and I thought that this was a Oneshot. Thank god I've finally found the complete series and I love the comedy and romance it's cute af <3
This couple is one of my favorite couples related to BDSM XD

Geez, still one of my favourite series out there, hilarious and sexy, but with lots of pure lovey dovey yuri, its got so much packed into these 13 short chapters.

Y'know, now that I think about it, this manga is kind of a logical deconstruction of stuff like Citrus or Fragtime or Notes from the Garden of Lilies. What kind of girl would stick around a bitchy love interest even after finding out that she's bitchy? Well, logically, a masochist.

Wait I went out with and still hang around a girl who's first reaction to most things is to punch me and I've come to expect it as part of my life does that make me an m. I need to know so I can quickly find an over weight middle aged man to abuse me.

Oh that was wonderful, I really like how different it was to the typical Yuri stuff that I've read.

I've been on this site for over 2 years now and I've re-read this series at least 6 times. It confuses me why I haven't left a comment on this series before, lol. Better now than never, I suppose.
Reading this has been a weird journey...I remember first reading this even before I had an account on here, not even fully understanding what BDSM was. I thought it was just kinda silly and funny, and the characters were cute. Nothing particularly more. When I came back to read this series about a year later, I had discovered I was a switch (which is a completely different story, lol.) and this series became infinitely more fun. I've read it about 4 times after that, finding it even more enjoyable than before because I could relate with both of them on a lot of levels.
..Anyway, that was just my two cents. All in all: good series, worth every reread.

Edit: I've also found a version TLed into Korean, and read that through that about 2 times. Never gets old.

I am sorry that I have to be the one to crush your dreams, but... I am afraid it is indeed so... She is a closeted sadist.

That explains her behavior, then.

Ah, well, another yuri protagonist down the kink hole . . .

Okay, if you're just going to veer into utterly unsupported fan theories, what are we even doing here?
