Exceedingly ugly thing to talk about fornicating in a brothel with strangers to your loved one. Mars an otherwise beautiful series.

Wow, talk about not reading subtext—this was obviously Emi’s gambit for getting Mai a little jealous so the two of them would have sex.

I mean, you can decide that anything you want “mars” a series, but anyone who thinks Emi was actually planning to go to a brothel is reading a different series than this one.

For some reason I was sort of hoping they'd start reading Asumi-chan is Interested in Lesbian Brothels. One of us!

In contrast to their existence as a yuri-manga trope, it’s not clear to me that “lesbian brothels” are actually much of a real thing in Japan (as opposed to sex workers who go both ways).

I was in mood to read erotic story but when I see this new update, I suddenly open them. I don’t care about something dirty anymore! This manga is blessing my heart! My heart is more important than my down there <33

I do kinda wonder what woulda happened if Mai had said "Okay, Emi, sure. Knock yourself out. I got another chapter to write."

The only possible scenario i can see that could ever possibly get any real consideration would be if they both went and had a threesome or smth, to experience it together

I’m glad this has been turned into a series… I’d buy it if licensed.

Really, this is much more a "Venus" series than "Mars". :p

There seem to be at least two real ones:

Probably more "escort agency" than "brothel" but that's true of Asumi-chan, despite the title or its translation.

I like how dynamic Mai’s appearance is throughout the series. It’s less her dyeing her hair or getting more confident as she ages and more of the little things. Such as in #42, when Mai complains about gaining weight while wearing a thick sweater. Then in the next chapter, a year later, she’s slimmed down and wears a loose dress shirt, noticeably more confident. It’s not a static change either, since Mai looses and gains weight a few times throughout the series. These details are a nice look into her personality through appearance alone and make Mai feel more endearing and real. I love it when artists do this.

Also, I know it’s a given but Mai looks ridiculously beautiful and sultry in Bedside, like holy hell, Mai and Emi are so lucky to have each other.

Right, I should have made it clear that pay-for-lesbian-sex services do exist. But current yuri manga would suggest that lesbian brothels are nearly as common as love hotels, if not indeed as convenience stores.

(Googling the phrase 'lesbian brothels Japan' (no quotes) in English gets you mostly porn sites and then . . . Dynasty.)

I hope so because I'm dying laughing and with any luck that means I'll be getting a ticket to heaven.

It looks like there's an actual mini series with these two that released last year. I stumbled on it on Amazon a bit ago. They're three fairly short volumes. It's about $10 or so for the three. Considering how often I reread this manga, I was more than happy to pay the price, and it was great getting to see more of these two.

Threw me off a bit cause they're oriented left to right.
Volume 1
Volume 2
Volume 3

Also Amazon One Click Buy is dangerous.
