Eleven chapters of this great manga are out already, exploring the deep, complex, psychologically realistic love story between two adult women. We have about 80 comments, three pages and a half.
Meanwhile, The Mute Girl and Her New Friend has released a grand total of 16 pages of manga (in 4 chapters of 4 pages each) about cute silly schoolgirls doing cute things and being silly. There are more than two hundred enthusiastic comments, and the number is explosively growing.
It mildly annoys me.
I'm sure if that one about the teachers going out were hosted here, it would have the same result because it's also cute. One could also complain about how insanely serious the comment section
of a silly manga like Hino-san went some time ago, but an actually serious series like Haru and Midori doesn't get nearly as much discussion.
I think it's less about the quality and more about how popular a manga is, and it's yuri, people will be more enthusiastic about some heartwarming twitter shorts than a long running drama-filled manga, the cute always wins.
After consuming enough media, you eventually realize that it's like that for everything, no matter the format or genre. Books, anime, manga, film, yuri, Bl, straight... the majority of people don't delve too deep into one specific area. They hear "this book was good" or "that movie is great", and maybe they read one yuri manga or see one LGBTQ film but that's it. For us, who come to dynasty and read probably every piece of yuri manga ever out there..well, we're called geeks/nerds/otaku for a reason.
And I'm fine with that.
As for the chapter, very sweet lewd. I like how they're slowly being drawn towards each other by little steps, as they start to fall more and more in love with each other.
