re: Credits page. The people are indeed clamoring for more enemies-to-lovers, but Shiori x Miro is pure crack ship. ^^;

Tbh even tho the story is probably gonna head in a hinako x shiori direction, as it is right now id prefere to see hinako x miro. Will be interesting to see what exactly shioris deal is tho, based off of her reaction, she does seem to care a great deal about hinako.

I feel like it's yuri in subtext - it's basically a coming-of-age story dressed up in monsters.

Hinako was essentially forced into adulthood after her accident, and as part of this 'growing up', she unknowingly became very attractive (to monsters). Most of the ones she attracts are dangerous creeps that her best friend Miko drives off behind her back. But Miko is attracted to her too, and holds herself back because she doesn't want to hurt her friend. And then there's Shiori, who openly admits her attraction but doesn't want to do anything until Hinako herself is ready for it.

Or something, I dunno.

I like your analogy, because I just don't get this story (as in reasonable suspension of disbelief).

Well, that was interesting indeed. Did not expect her to have received the blood already before the accident. Although we still don't know the exact circumstances that led to this...

True, I also thought it was as a remedy to save her (motivation unknown?). It will be interesting to see where we go with regards to what kind of debt Shiori owed Hinako and how exactly things happened back then.

Still loving it as much as I ever have.
Plus the monsters being drawn to appear truly monstrous is still refreshing.

Hinako saying " You really are a monster. " makes my melodramatic heart soar

Wtf is this plot twist?

wat

i was thinking the same thing

How come this manga has a yuri tag? There are no romantic relationships between the three main characters. Both the kitsune and the Ningyo protect Hinako at all cost but with different motives. At no times do these three show signs of being gay.

Romance or sexuality can be a basis of Yuri, but a story can also belong in the genre if the relationship in focus is intense in some other way. Plus it's an official designation from the author.

But also, I don't know what else to call this scenario anyway. Two monster girls, desperately trying to keep a human girl alive, even though one of them has to fight the urge to eat her, and the other one also wanted to eat her until the monster blood transfusion... I think I understand what the author is going for (although I wouldn't mind if the story took an explicitly romantic turn).

Say...

Would Hinako x Miko fall under size diff?

From the little glimpse we saw of Shiori's true form it would no matter which way it went.

Wonder why Dynasty is so far behind in the manga? We're currently up to ch28.

In order to reply to those comments who just purely think the wish to die is something that has to see a doctor, here is the opinion to tell you that is not a suitable perspective.

3 year anniversary issue, 10/ oct 23, rawI do not know about the chapter number. back into The tourist kitsune tries to "help" Miko to turn back into what a kitsune supposed to do, ie, people eating monster.

Is this manga dead? Should I start searching elsewhere?

It's up to date on Mangadex (chapter 32), but translated by other people, The translation quality varies from group to group, but overall readable to understand what's going on.

Noted, thanks, gotta edit my lists then.

I love this manga to the point of buying the raw every month (I'm at 33 now). It actually getting better and better. But I now begin to think that the yuri tag may not apply. There is neither romantic love nor desire of lust between the three main characters. None of the three also have feelings for other people. Maybe other type of love, I don't know. Miko does what she does out of guilt. Shiori lies all the time to try to stop Hinako committing suicide because her "warrantee" to give Hinako a long life is not working because Hinako sabotages herself, with survivors guilt.

There is no way the yuri tag does not apply and to say so is a detriment to the series. Do you wanna turn people away from this story lol?

Shiori clearly loves Hinako and there's even a kiss in this (even if it's the unsexiest kiss ever). Yes Shiori's love does not resemble what we might normally think of as romantic or sexual love, but it is not familial or platonic love either (which we get from Miko). I think Shiori's love doesn't look like what we think of as romantic love because she's a monster who is still learning what love is. There is no denying she loves Hinako and we can see her feelings of love for Hinako also differs from the one she felt for that sacrifice girl from the past (I think that love is more like one you have for a pet). This series is definitely yuri. We just need Hinako to heal from her depression before we see any further development on that front.

Maaan, I want this to continue.

Series got licensed by Yen Press

Omg! Awesome news! Definitely getting it when it releases

Just got the physical copy of volume 1 in english! I don't usually go for physical copies but I had to for this series, I love it so much

A leaker has said that this manga will be getting an anime. It seems this info came from the same person who said There's No Freaking Way I'll be Your Lover! Unless... is also getting animated and Gushing over Magical Girls is getting a second season, so if any of those three things gets confirmed, the other two will likely happen too.

That would certainly be excellent news if it's true.

Thanks for the info. And that LN's shorthand nickname is "Watanare".
