And ngl, it's kinda funny that yuri fans were the ones who saved this series from cancellation… only to get “rewarded” with the spotlight shifting to a het romance lol. But hey, each to their own I guess. I just don’t get why some people can’t understand that some yuri fans only want (and only care about ) yuri romances in a... yuri story.

I bought a copy as urged, and I have no complaints with the subsequent story.

What a stupid fucking comment. Sorry but I'm not gonna mence my words. Just because a het couple exists in a story doesn't mean it isn't Yuri.

Ok but I don't care about all that? Why even bother shoving in a het couple in a yuri manga? If I wanted to read a generic het romance, I could pick up literally anything else. Oh, and don’t come at me with the whole “do they need to kiss for it to be yuri” bullshit whenever someone says they don’t enjoy a lackluster yuri manga.

The first chapter had a het option so right from the start we knew it was possible.

Is there any news on when volume 2 releases?

https://x.com/inee/status/1963895733414998033

So, no chapter this month, but they'll release the booklet from Comitia 150 online for free with more content, and next month's chapter will be double the length and conclude volume 2, meaning the volume should also release next month.

Also volume 1 is getting a second reprint ahead of that: https://x.com/inee/status/1963190896733868043

Yeah, gotta say... volume 1 was worth its price, and that’s why I chose to support it - because I expected volume 2 to build on the same foundations. Instead, I’m disappointed. Unless there’s a major shift by the ending, I don’t see myself continuing, and even then, when most chapters of a volume leave me frustrated, a great finale can only make up for so much.

For me, it's not just about liking or not liking the story - it's about having put money down in good faith, expecting more of what volume 1 offered, and ending up with something very different.

It's not that the story is bad, but it isn't what I came here for. I expected a wlw-focused romance, and I'm not enjoying this direction (where any yuri romance feels subtextual and peripheral at best). If volume 2 was always going to be het-focused, then it should have been carried by fans who wanted that content. Personally, I regret putting money into it - not because volume 1 wasn't good, but because I'd rather use my support to keep other yuri stories alive, whether through buying translated releases or by importing directly from Japan, like I did with volume 1.

Looking back, there are several cancelled series in the past year that would have given me something much closer to my preferences than what this one ended up delivering.

Not to start up an argument but I do kinda agree with the sentiment that while this is interesting and all I didn't really come here for this and the yuri from the first volume is what drew me to it over anything so I'm not as invested rn as I could be.

Is that unfair to the author who should be allowed to draw what they want? Sure! like I totally get that.
Am I also allowed to be a dumb yuri fan that just wants to drown in the yuri swamp? Also yes.

A what romance?

In any case, I maintain that the yuri tag should be removed.

A time loop, huh? I was really expecting this series to be monster of the week type, you know? It's cool that we are getting more in depth stories with a deep back story for Ena.

yeah with how much focus this chapter put on equaling Hasumi with Ena things started feeling off, But of course the answer was time travel all along!!!! LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Actually thinking about it, has Ena just been stuck in a timeloop with this awful class until she'd manage to get any couple together? is that why she's so experienced despite having nominally only been a cupid for a couple days.

"Nooo why didn't the series advertise as yuri? They could have sold well from the beginning!"
"Nooo why didn't the series continue being about yuri romance with volume 2?" (it was never about yuri romance)

Chill out, Ito just laid like fifty flags with Ena anyway

Wasn't there another missing classmate? Hey this might be a crack theory but what if the missing classmate was actually a cupid and while Ena was looking for them she died on the process. Also the last panel is really throwing me off. That is definitely the person behind Ena on her birthday art. Why does she look suspiciously ominous, is it possible that she is the cause of the time loop? My god this got more interesting.

I know y'all are salty the mangas is taking time to pickup the plot more but you cannot remove the yuri tag when the first few chapters had yuri in it lmao

I didn't see the time loop twist incoming, it pulled me back in and I'm excited to see what sides of this whole mess are going to be revealed.

Chiyo's behavior makes me think she already knows about at least some of what's going on with Ena.

Uh timetravel didn't see that coming. So my personal thoughts are for Love bullet it's good I find it interesting despite being supernatural it's fairy grounded(Fighting styles, looks, guns etc) nothing too out their but one thing that bug me is Kanna cause it feels likes their more of a personal reason has to why she's helping Koharu then just being a good mentor but I could just being overthinking it.

On a side note it's not really surprising it's not just Yuri focus story(it's their just not it's main focus) 1.Chapter 0 had them focus on a love triangle with a guy in it, 2 Chapter 1 had the het tag so it was already their, and 3 their cupids it would not make any sense for them just focus on girls only when it's their job to find love for everyone like it was told to me as clear as day from the start how it was going to go down so I'm fine with cause it didn't do a 360 out of nowhere it was honest from the start.

It reminds me of anime series like Lycoris Recoil, Princess Principle, Noir, El cazador de la Bruja, Gundam witch from Mercury(Only saw a little of that one thought) yeah there's yuri in them but it was never the main focus, and it was like that from the start.

The missing classmate being a cupid seems like it would make a lot of sense since it's otherwise extremely odd that the class seems barely aware someone is missing while knowing Hasumi was at the hospital. Of course the latter was Ena mind-controlling them with her charm, while the former could be explained by the cupid abandoning her false civilian identity and the classmates' memories becoming hazy like what happened to Aki when Koharu solved her case. No idea why she and Ena turn red and are stuck in a timeloop. It sounds like the timeloop itself is localized to the town since Ena told the other cupids they could get out by flying across the border by midnight, and Ena must've been out of the timeloop before for Chiyo to know her. I assume the other cupid is the one actually stuck in it and Ena gets back into it now and again to try and fix it.

one thing that bug me is Kanna cause it feels likes their more of a personal reason has to why she's helping Koharu then just being a good mentor but I could just being overthinking it.

It is unconfirmed thus far but it was noticed that Kanna looks very similar to one of the girls in Koharu's class: https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/love_bullet_ch01#3 to the right of the guy saying "Where are they?" so a theory is that she was an undercover cupid tasked with making Koharu fall in love with Aki but the accident that killed Koharu ended up happening for some reason and Kanna feels guilty about it.

We can argue that the "time travel" thing is a classical cliché.

Yet it was executed nicely, especially the build up and the two pages art were a chef kiss. Also I've initially not managed to notice the figure in the last page, had to go back after seeing the art in the notes, creepy as fuck but dammit it fits the theme perfectly.

The author cooked with this chapter in my opinion.

Fingers crossed for the future.

Exactly. I get being disappointed but it feels like people are frustrated at their own expectations and hype from other people out on the story. Where I'm more interested now with what's going on with Ena and the time loop. After being bored by the camp arc.

I wanted a yuri of the week type story too but I'm not really disappointed that the author is doing what they planned after they said in a tweet they had plot going so that's why they didn't want to get canceled. I'm not sure any official source promised light yuri fun for the series.

If this is getting the axe again, let it fall. The plot is actually decent but I feel like this is going the Shit-surakuen route.

According to Chiyo, Kanna seems to be quite lazy usually so I guess she took her sweet time, so Koharu couldn't fall in love before dying. And I don't know if she could've been the actual cause of the accident since cupid bullets don't seem to have an effect on the surroundings, only on people, but that could be another source of guilt for her.
