i like how moko-chan is just autistic. and in a really relatable, compelling way too! "i wanted to help but i accidentally said something blunt and clueless that hurt the person i care about"? she basically feels like she has an alexithymia thing going on too. but even with all that aside, i adore the art style. it's sooooo cute

“Her eyelashes are so long”—OK, then, that seals the deal. Gay marriage it is.

Why do I get the feeling that Chihiro is actually impressed here?

This story is like a course in Yuri 101.

I mean that in a good way.

I said this in MD after ch 12
Moko is the type of yuri girlfriend we really don't see that often and I love it so much. She made her feelings known without diminishing Kaede by being aggressively expressive. Now if only Kaede could take the hint...

Careful, lass! Every time you touch, you get the feeling.

It's quite similar to Dear Flowers, albeit without the whole box cutter thing. Less obviously about exploring the history of the genre, though

I think it was actually bulk-uploaded here in the past week, with the chapters backdated. I'd read it recently on mdex.

I see! These bulk updates have been happening pretty often lately.
I’m glad tho I get to see series I didn’t even know were on Dynasty. ^_^

I can see that. I was enjoying the tone and atmosphere of "Dear Flowers" until the box cutter was introduced, and then that series was a quick drop as I found the box cutter introduction to be disgusting and vile, in my personal opinion. So I'm happy to have this series that seems to have a bit of the early tone and atmosphere of that series!

idk what this character dynamic is called but i wish i could inject it into my veins like heroin

EDIT: ok so i'm rereading a few months later with a more clear head (my original comment was slightly manic and very drunk lol) and i still enjoy this series a lot so far but i have more thoughts about it. firstly, it's kinda melodramatic and very cliche in many aspects, to the point i almost laugh at certain moments that are meant to be "serious"; however i do appreciate that the manga playing into certain cliches is (at least partially) deliberate as a sort of homage to a lot of classic yuri works, but regardless this does unfortunately make it read as slightly more shallow than i'd like. imo the biggest strength is the character dynamic, i think adachi and shimamura really made me love angsty one-sided yuri, even if nothing will ever come close to holding a candle to the adashima light novel in that regard, in my personal opinion. i can appreciate moko's whole complex about her coming off as emotionless/"doll-like" and being afraid of hurting others due to that, but again, some parts are a bit too melodramatic and come off as unserious when i think the author could've handled some of the drama with a bit more subtlety and consideration. on the other hand i think my standards for manga as a medium have been skewed by how much subtle introspection and character development is possible via internal monologue in a novel, such as the aforementioned adashima, and therefore maybe i'm being hypercritical for no reason, especially when i'm undeniably enjoying the humour and lighthearted aspects which are more suited to the medium. finally, ignoring everything else i just said, i must emphasise how PEAK fluffy kuudere yuri is.

Been catching up on backlog and while doing so stumbled on this in the releases pages, is it just such a tried trope or have I seen this somewhere else long ago? Maybe the art is just not unique enough that things are starting to blend for me.

Edit: I had a realization, took a look at the date of the first chapter and when it was uploaded to the site. It's possible it was that I had seen it earlier, just that it was reposted along with the rest of the batch upload.
