The title reminds me of this song :D.

On another note, I always felt Yuni's work always conveys this strong sense of female intimacy that I rarely feel in other yuri works, with the exception of Sal Jiang’s. It feels both realistic and mature, (yet when viewed more logically, not really all that realistic if that makes sense) (^^') It captures the deep, emotional connection that forms in a lesbian relationship, feeling both sexy and seductive, yet also bittersweet. I’m not even sure if I’m using the right word to describe it. haha :D

Funny you mention Sal Jiang, since Yuni was/is part of a writing circle with Sal Jiang, Tamifull and Kuwabara Tamotsu (author of "Destroy It All and Love Me in Hell!"). I agree. They all have a certain similar feel to them, especially Yuni, Sal and Tamifull. "Destroy it all," is quickly rising up the ranks too.

Oh, I see! That makes sense now. No wonder all of them have released such well-written, realistic, and emotional yuri mangas. you just name-dropped the "Big Four" of the yuri manga world! Haha :D (also can't forget about Takemiya Jin tho that'll make it 5). Since they’re in a writing circle together, have they ever released any project? I’d love to read it,I bet it would be really well-written! :)

I only know of "I Don't Love Her, but I Love Her," described as "An anthology by 4 artists of the circle Monophobia (that's their circle name), themed around 'yuri' and 'women at the height of rudeness." I don't think anyone has TLd the full thing but some chapters are out. The one shot "An undesirable Relationship," from Tamifull was posted here and that's from the anthology.

Yes! There's only one work they actually all participated in together [1], which I've been scheming to translate the other 3 untranslated comics from (when I get around to it...). Tamifull's comic for that anthology (the only one translated) was a bit much for me, but the other 3 are a little more toned down and I recall really liking them. I have all the CLRDs done, I just need to actually sit down and do the TL/TS...

Beyond that, Tamifull and Yuni wrote a few Love Live doujins together (also on Dynasty), and even used to share a booth at Comitia! [2] [3]. Meanwhile, Sal Jiang and Kuwabara were more "guest stars" on the toxic yuri anthology that Yuni organized and never actually co-authored any stories as far as I know. Though, I see a Sal Jiang doujin in the second Comitia picture linked below, so maybe she also split the Comitia booth sometimes.

Oh I had forgotten about these two and their totally healthy relationship

I remember reading the translated chapter not too long ago, and it was pretty heavy. That anthology sounds really interesting, I’d love to check out the other comics whenever you get around to translating them! (Though absolutely no rush, you translation groups are doing amazing work for free :D) Tamifull’s work can definitely be a lot at times, so I get what you mean, but now I’m even more curious about the other three.

It makes sense that Tamifull and Yuni used to share a Comitia booth. As for Sal Jiang and Kuwabara, I always saw them as more like guest contributors to the toxic yuri anthology, but now I’m wondering if Sal Jiang ever shared a booth too. It’s always fun to see how interconnected these artists are! :)

Oh, I’ve read I Don’t Love Her, but I Love Her! I didn’t realize that was the name of their circle, that's pretty interesting. ^_^

Down bad

I think it’s interesting and a bit funny that Yuni makes a bunch of manga about cheating and/or toxic relationships even though she’s in a happy relationship. I’ve started looking for yuri on MangaDex recently, and I found an autobiographical manga called Manga de Tsudzuru Yuri na Hibi on that site. Apparently, Yuni is one of the writers along with her partner. Someone in the comments said they’re still together after 11 years, so it’s interesting she’s going with this dark stuff.

I wonder if she had to deal with this kind of stuff in the past… or she could just like writing about it. I guess “write what you know” doesn’t always apply.

Her stuff isn't ordinarily dark, though. I feel like she always thinks it's all cute and fun. To me, it seems like because she enjoys office worker yuri (which she says a lot), that naturally implies some unique situations and relationship dynamics to have fun with.

That’s a good point. They are surprisingly light when you take the subject matter into consideration. I definitely appreciate her office worker yuri since it’s a breath of fresh air compared to all he generic (but mostly still good) yuri out there.

this one says she knew she loved her, takes away from the first one a bit imo

Pretty sure this takes place after the first one and before the second one, in which case the prequel tag would be misplaced.
