I've gotta ask, what's the LN/web novel like past this point? Is there much more drama, do either Aya or Marika ever have sex with some one else, or is it mostly just smut of the two of them?

I don't mind a full spoiler reply I need to know if I am going to hate reading this or not.

Alright spoilers incoming. I'll use spoiler brackets for actual events but themes are just going to be out in the open.
Keep in mind that the manga is a somewhat streamlined story, the events are pretty much just the first and half the second books but thematically Marika's whole journey is in just that small chunk, the books spread it out more.

Vol 1 is about Marika realising that she likes Aya. Its chief antagonist is Asta, who is Marika's foil as someone who has already embraced her sexuality and doesn't see a problem with standing out.

Vol 2 is about Marika embracing Aya as her girlfriend and getting to know more about her. Its chief antagonist is Sae the girl who tried to stab Aya in middle school, she is Aya's foil in that she used her trauma as an excuse to stop moving forward rather than rebuilding herself.

Vol 3 is about Marika struggling with her internalised shame about dating someone of the same gender, she's still not there folks. Its chief antagonist is Reina who discovers Marika and Aya are going out, she functions as a kind of nega!Marika, someone who uses her popularity for evil and has not grown out of her homophobic beliefs.

Vol 4 is about Marika bonding with other queer girls and finding community outside of weird sex stuff with Aya. Its chief antagonist (not really) is Natsumi who gets rejected at the end, exposing Marika to a different way to be queer. Vol 4 is really special because of how much it grounds Marika's sense of queerness. A lot of stuff happens in this one despite it feeling like a filler episode.

Vol 5 is about Marika placing herself within the queer community and thinking about the future of her relationship. Its chief antagonist is Karen whose backstory we finally get as she leaves town for a week to chase the woman she fell in love with fresh out of high school. Marika has to grapple with her relationship to Aya not being uniquely special and therefore subject to all the regular struggles a relationship goes through. Nevertheless she comes out publicly at the end. I cried.

Vol 6 I haven't read yet but I'm looking forward to it! These crazy kids are still in love and still not quite done stepping on each other, I love reading about them.

Thanks for the response, based on that I am going to assume they don't actually sleep around or cheat on eachother which the manga made me vaugely worried about.

I'd actually like to check out the novels sometime I think.

I read all 6 vols and they're without a doubt 100% monogamous, so no need to worry there.

I hope none of the people complaining about the stuff with Karen are reading/watching MagiRevo, as that one also has a woman in her late 20s fucking a 15 year old with the author even writing them a dedicated sex chapter lmao

Well maybe because most watching it or readingthe manga didn't know about it ? Why would you even spoiled something on an unrelated thread.

before it was raised to 16 last year out of misguided moral outrage

I've seen a lot of garbage on this forum, but unironically advocating for 30-year-olds to be able to groom and sleep with 13-year-olds really takes the cake. What the fuck is wrong with you.

exactly at the time most young people actually start having sex

With each other. Not with adults. Jesus fucking christ.

It used to be 14 like in most of Europe, not 13, and I have certainly never advocated that. And the outrage was certainly misguided since the scandals that caused the change involved coaches for whom such relationships were illegal in any case due to their position of power.

The comparisons to citrus are bang accurate because it basically turns into a healthy monogamous relationship while Marika gets a tour of the queer community of Japan.

Think Honk Kong Summer of 1984. Basically that vibe throughout.

In that same font, we should also allow for the ability to be gross/problematic characters in queer fiction as there are gross/problematic queer people irl too.

I think most people's problem with it is more how the grooming situation was handled than it simply existing (well at least that is how it is for me). This is fiction, but this story constantly brings up many real life issues relating to the LGBT community so having them kinda "tee-hee" away the whole Karen situation isn't very palatable. They acknowledge how wrong it is with the "that's illegal" statement and Aya warning Marika about Karen, but it was portrayed as something to brush off. The overall situation was painted in a comedic light with the whole bar watching the 2 while they are discussing this with smiles on their faces so it was just...weird.

I think the main problem with this series is it doesn't know whether it wants to be mindless porn or a commentary on LGBT matters. If the whole thing isn't really meant to be taken seriously, which from the beginning was a ridiculous premise, then I don't think there would be much issue with the problematic content. But the story offers actual meaningful discussions on real life matters so it makes it hard to "separate fiction from reality" sometimes.

Nah, there is still like 5 chapters left (not sure, but i think volume 3 renamed chapter 15 to extra?)

We could hyperanalyze that line about the lesbian trying to get straight girls to fall for her, but I think I'd rather laugh at the absurdity of how this whole plot is based on Aya sexing (lol) a sometimes unwilling Marika enough to make her somehow fall in love with her.

Well the last two chapters seem to be retconning that Marika was into Aya all along, without realizing/admitting it...

Though after re-reading the first two chapters, Marika is thinking "really attractive" and "sexy appeal" right up front, so not that much of a retcon.

The "Aya's not that rich" 'revelation' was foreshadowed from early on too: ordinary house, ordinary room...

I would agree and think it really undercuts the romance in this chapter to have the last couple chapters go the way they did. "Yeah, I proposed this challenge because I was infatuated and didn't want you to wind up doing compensated dating with some abusive creep. Oh right, my boss who I introduced you to without pointing out she's a nearly Lily Cade level of missing stair in this community is still here huh". Just completely undermines whatever point Aya is trying to make here.

Not disagreeing but that's usually how manga rolls with this kinda stuff period. Characters like Karen are kinda just one-note jokes. But we also have the benefit of hindsight and time with the LN to know that it kind of does switch to LGBTQ in Japan commentary fully with smut interwoven. Just goes through some early squick to get there

Great, this manga has it all, from rape and pedophilia to a very retarded fanbase who thinks all these stuff is okay as long as it happens in "fiction" and the two MCs end up together. Dropping this rn my life this made me puke by how naturally all this illegal stuff is addressed by the characters, is this really how you-us lesbians want to be portrayed? Go get a breath of fresh air and a good read of the law please

What?? No, what you sayin fam? These are just DRAWINGS and they have nothing to do with real life, who cares if there's rape or some other idiocies like that, it's FINE as long as it stays in the manga because of course no real person is drawing it out there while thinking it's completely fine and that's how a healthy relationship is IRL.
