This new girl seems cool, I'm guessing she's a new addition to the harem now.

harem route intensifies

Yeah, I realised that after jintor and Boob Twinkler (sorry but that handle makes me cringe) pointed it out.

What's cringy about my handle? ( ͡° ʖ̯ ͡°)
I just wrote something random, does twinkler mean something and I just don't know about it?

Edit: Actually, now that I think about it, the whole premise of this manga is a woman being sexually harassed by anothe woman is comedy gold.

Switching up the genders to (intentionally or otherwise) draw attention to how messed up some romance classic tropes are is pretty common in comedy/comedy-adjacent manga at this point. Nozaki-kun did it with Kashima and Hori (the standard trope with the Funny Abusive wife and the Idiot Husband), Usotsuki Lily does it with the main couple (in both crossdressing and non-crossdressing variants and in a couple cases explicitly saying 'wait, this looks fucked up'), and more than a few traditional yuri series on dynasty do it too. Kuzushiro uses this trope a lot.

It's kind of interesting how easy it is to just write it off as romance comedy until you realize we were just taught that this stuff is okay and funny even though it's often not. Alongside that, these kinds of abuse are common in the real world and treated as minor or hilarious just like in fiction, which is pretty harmful. I appreciate it when the work appears to be self-aware about that, though I don't know if the author is doing that here...

Tbh i think the specific joke in the last chapter is less about 'being a predator is fine if you're a lesbian', it's more that Akiho is very close to the truth but because of her underlying (heteronormative) assumptions she flies way off base.

The series as a whole... idk, you'll have to make up your own minds.

Wow Nakano is a playa'. Hoping for orgy.

This big-eared potato is criminally cute.

Oh you really made me laugh with that one. "Big-eared potato," lol, it's so true. A very accurate description of the MC; Fuuka is miles away from the typical moeblob look. The drawing style of this author is very personal.

But it grows on you, yes it does.

yuri harem , interesting.

for now the only story i have read who did a serious work about abuse was pulse from ratana satis with the main character and her ex. This was very well done and no switching genders at all. serious tone but quick resolution.

Manga Cafes... never been there. So how low-brow is it to work there or go there?

Can you sleep in those places? I mean, when one of the characters wanted to bang in there, her view point is like: this is the place for it to happen on the cheap/desperate.

Do they have a negative connotation in Japan? What equivalent establishment in the U.S. has the same reputation as Manga Cafes? (Comic Book stores with cots?)

So far Sakurako give me a better vibe than Nagisa. Nagisa seem to have no restraint and go aggro any time Nakano breath near her when Sakurako seem more composed and show actual restraint. I'd like that Nagisa show some actual restraint.

Ten bucks says Akiho also gets dragged into it.

Well this one isn't about manga cafe but may relate to what you are talking about. I suggest giving it a watch, it's only around 9 minutes.

There's a few disclaimers here and there pointing out problematic behavior ("this is what a stalker would say", for example), so it's not like the author is completely unaware of it. Works to draw a line, I guess.

Anyways, Sakurako has the better odds, so far. She's more forward than Akiho, which gives her actual progress, but she's not as aggressive as Nagisa, who doesn't leave space to breathe. As a result, Nakano's responses to her advances are a lot more reciprocal, like she's already accepted her and her ways of skinship.

Does anyone know what the untranslated text in Chapter 7's last couple of pages is saying?

My guess from context is it's some kind of stereotypically delinquent/regional/osaka-ben? slang, but my Google-fu isn't good enough to confirm it, so I just left it

Thirty Thieves And The Thunder Chief

I liked the first chapter better than anything we’ve seen so far. I think two really forward experienced dykes falling head over heals for a smol conservative but non-judgmental gal and then boldly approaching her and making her do the shy is a really satisfying (hot) concept, and that’s what chapter 1 made me believe it was going to be. It feels like every chapter, I’m waiting for them to put some smooth moves on her, only to see the same “lmao they went beyond what is socially or morally acceptable and she’s not fighting back lmao” over and over.

Am I gonna drop it? No, because I love Suzuki Senpai’s character art, and the two gay women are crazy attractive. But I am a bit disappointed.

Nakano seems to have gotten pretty used to making out, huh?

If they keep fighting to get her attention, Akiho is gonna swoop in and win.

we need another girl and she will finally be a complete harem protagonist.

The Harem queen is approaching

I'm now convinced that Sakurako is the lesbianest of Japanese surnames.

You know too much. Be careful out there with that knowledge.
