LBH, the first chapter is completely relatable to us anime and manga fans, liking a niche category hiding out passions and being happy when someone finally accepts it and you can talk to them about it, especially for us doujinshi, especially yuri doujinshi fans.

I'm a huge yuri fan, not just with manga, but novels fanfiction, shows, films, you name it. I literally have about a hundred novel length lesbian fanfiction epubs on my phone right now that I listen to via TTS all day long at work. I've been into yuri for like 15 years.

NOBODY KNOWS.

15 years?
holy shit dude! wut a dedication XD

maekawa is such a troll lol
Ithink Im in love

The authors account has the original story draft completed, wondering if the published version would be longer? Hopefully. :)

I was going to say 10 years but a quick google search of my gmail came up with a lilicious result from over 12 years ago, lol...

You know of any good sites for it? I'm really into the Maria Watches Over Us stuff but www.fanfiction.net is the only site I found with a proper categorized collect. I've read so many on it though that I'm running out of ones in the categories I prefer.

Right type of lily.

Good stuff, so far.

"What do you mean, there is only one flower fair a year"...Alright, nothing to see here. Just some random stalker manager who wants to get close to our MC. Nothing suspicious here, shoo shoo go do your own business xD

Love it. The flower show piece is perfect, as it gives both parties a way to save face if needed: easy enough to debunk if things get real, but also solid enough to serve as an excuse if you're trying to just sweep stuff under the rug.

It's also lovely to see more adult yuri. Between this, Snowfall in Spring, Cute Little Kitten, and Collectors, it's been a great day. :)

I kinda find myself hoping they don't get into a romance. It could be pretty funny if the story was about an outsider's viewpoint or about a straight woman getting sucked into yuri fandom.

SAD always manages to find cool series I end up really liking. Looking forward to more.

I know. There's not a thing they have translated that I didn't like.

I’m with the other people in the comments, I don’t know anyone else who likes yuri. Or even anyone who would let me passionately ramble on about yuri while they listen. Stay strong, comrades

OMG I RELATE WHOLEHEARTEDLY TO THIS MANGA ON EVERY LEVEL!!!! T^T

I'M THE ONLY GIRL IN MY NERDY GIRL FRIEND GROUP THAT LIKES YURI!!! they mainly like yaoi and regular hetero ships.... i fake liking yaoi too when i'm around them just to feel included :(

I don't have anyone in real life i can passionately be open about my love for yuri with... sigh... maybe someday!

I think a looooot of girls talk about Yuri online only... Who knows, maybe your whole group is pretending too hehe.
There's just too much to risk and "I only like it as a genre" won't help most of the times... So yeah, is hard.
Maybe we need a secret codeword or wear a specific item to identify our kind like "cough*youchika*cough" and wait to see if there's any reaction.

That's the biggest issue if you are a female yuri fan. It basically outs you when it comes to your real world preferences which makes it the sort of thing you aren't likely to just bring up with casual acquaintances and coworkers. Even if you are the exception that doesn't swing that way, it will be very hard to convince people of that after mentioning you have a enough Japanese lesbian romance comics to fill a bookshelf.

I still remember the embarrassment of having a friend I was staying with for the weekend come up to me after thumbing through a "Bloom Into You" volume I foolishly hadn't put back in my bag from the night before and start asking me about why I was reading a weird backwards lesbian comic book. They were super confused by both the format and the contents. It's hard enough just having to explain what manga is at my age let alone one about a romantic relationship between two female teenagers.

This is looking really cute! I'm definitely interested in seeing how it develops from here.

Looks like abusing your power to get to know your crush better is gay culture now lmao. Just like the girl from the miko manga.

Miko manga?

I can’t say for sure, but maybe they mean this?

archiveofourown.org is the other big site and it has a much better/more powerful search and tag system. I use both. Right now I've been going through Twilight fanfiction, which I found to be an unexpected TROVE of lesbian pairings. I was never even able to make it through the first book, but now I'm glad Twilight exists lol.
