Yeah, I've also noticed the weird tone of the series as it progressed on.

I can't get into this series, since I discovered that Ootori Manhiro is a guy. All I can think is: This reads like the fantasy of a teenage boy.

I enjoy this series in the "so bad, it's good" kind of way. It's a complete clusterfuck of tone that cannot decide what it actually wants to be, the artwork is alright at best, and the characters are abhorrent at worst and kinda gross at best (look, literally swapping spit with your SO in public is disgusting regardless of gender), but... damn if I'm not entertained.

well said, that's how I feel about this series. It's just like one of those reality tv shows where it's just so bad and chaotic, but you can't help not to watch it just to see how this clusterfuck will end.

Am I the only one to find the art creepy? There's something off with the faces and the proportions of the bodies. I've seen worse, but this is somewhat uncomfortable.

As for what I think about this, I already said it on the first comment page. 8 chapters later, it didn't change.

Yeeep, that's exactly what I told myself, particularly on this chapter...

For me it's especially the tone on the lips--they just seem disgusting.

So if the author was a woman then suddenly it would be better and more acceptable? If Comiket has taught me anything, it's that women have fantasies just as weird and fucked up as men.
I can't even imagine what the reactions here would be if Mira was revealed to be a man, makes me wonder how many yuri authors pretend to be women just to avoid this kind of comment.

Anyway, I might be the only one, but I actually enjoy this manga, the art is pretty unique (though the proportions are a bit random) and it's like reading a story set in a different universe where our moral and logic doesn't apply.

I remember at the start of chapter 6 I was like oh boy school nurse that isn't a huge piece of shit, boy those were a fun few pages weren't they?

The art is giving me some Kakegurui vibes except it is much worse.

Comments here seem to be divided between “so bad it’s good” and “so bad it sucks.”

I’m OK now and then with weird, over-the-top, and not-our-moral universe, but for me this one doesn’t come close to making it, mostly for the reasons others have said: it’s all over the place in lots of different ways—tone, pacing, basic things about how the world works—pretty much everything.

Every time I think I might care about anything in the story, something happens to show me I was wrong.

I think its worse problem is that it is just plain boring, it felt like I was sleep walking through that last chapter. The characters just aren't interesting in the slightest. I could care less about what happens to any of them.

shouldn't it be a few more chapters before Yuri fully falls in love with Lily. I feel like it happened too fast. But i am enjoying it so far.

I would much rather read a ecchi story writen by a woman. It feels like I'm sharing a fantacy with her, very sexy. While reading a ecchi story by a guy, feels kinda awkward, a little like watching porn with a room full of your friends.

Plus I find guys tend to write women too raunchy. Women can write sex too, but their work leans towards more subtle. I have always suspected Mira as being a guy.

Same.

So Sakura's jealousy is the next issue to deal with?

These characters are awful, this is awful, but at least it can't get any worse.
Sakura: hold my beer

I get that they are trying to actually help somehow (I think?) by being complete cunts, though I don't understand why being bitches was the only option available to them. Yuri had a much better plan for solving the issue with the art club members and didn't involve betraying her best friend/lover.

"I'll bully her, so she'll she will stop what she is doing. That way she won't get bullied anymore." Man that is some serious moral gymnastics right there. It's right up there with religious people claiming we're discriminating against their religious right to discriminate, against people they feel are not living by their god's wishes.

I doubt Mira is a guy. She is pretty well documented as a woman in addition to the fact that her writing style is pretty feminine although that by itself is never a good indicator of the sex of the author. Some of the most horrifying, rape-filled, guro torture porn I have stumbled across was written by a woman and I have seen cute fuzzy yuri love stories written by men.

The art is nice but I think it was funnier when the MC was oblivious about girls dating and having sex.
