I could not look away. It seems
We've seen each other in a dream.
Seemed like she knew me
Looked right through me
...
...
...
Come on home girl She said with a smile
I'll cast my spell of love on you Woman from a child
Try to understand
Try to understand
Try try try to understand
She's a magic wo-man.
Oh she's got those magic hands.

I don’t think she’s open to her mom cause I’m not sure she even knew she was gay before meeting Terumi. This reads like a gay awakening story to me. Actually, i was curious if Terumi was after Yasuko’s mom at first?

You're probably right. But that conversation seems weird for a mom to be having with her supposedly straight twentysomething yr old daughter. It sounded more like a mom trying to playing match maker for her date challenged adult son. Yasuko's mom even worked in a "she's single" plug. Sure it could just have been gossip. However you add in Yasuko's mom asking if she was smitten and it makes me wonder.

Edit: The rest of the story does seem fit a gay awakening story. And Yasuko did seem a bit surprised that she had a wet dream about Terumi. Though I couldn't find anything to definitively disprove she was out to her mom.

I'm curious about that line in the conversation, Yasuko had with her mom, right after meeting Terumi. Yasuko's mom asked her "What? Were you Smitten? I am wondering is Yasuko openly gay with her mom, or is it just more of that old manga trope that even girls crush on the super cute girls.

Edit: The kind of crush born of admiration.

Okay there was a small development, on the yuri front, maybe. (in a Sarcastic tone) I just can't wait to see how the aruthor is going to erase it, and take us back on square one. My money is on, ignoring it, and have the characters act as if nothing happened.

Welp, I went and read the raws, and overall I thought it was pretty unsatisfying. Nothing ever happens between the MC and her friend because the manga was axed, and the only kiss we get is a forced kiss with the dude.

So yeah, not very satisfying.

Why even bother translating a series that was axed before it's time I'm not complaining, I'm genuinely asking

Hmmm let's see here. We have Aaaaaagst Love triangle Het and Yuri tags all in one story. My guess is that Misa's beloved sempi will be in love with Yoh. And Yoh will use that love to get between Misa and sempi. Yoh will probably even go as far as to have sex with the guy, to make Misa give up on him.

I hope I'm wrong I absolutely hate the "lesbian sleeping with the straight girl's boyfriend/crush, in order sabotage their relationship" trope. It just seems like such an obvious losing strategy for everybody involved.

Edit: What kind of sales pitch is, "That guy ignored you, and had sex with me. You should give up on that jerk and go out with me instead" anyway.

I’m wondering how many people feel compelled to go into the comments of mystery stories in order to say, “OMG, you guys—murder is wrong! Don’t do this at home!” Or, “Detectives need to do things by the book, and not dole out justice by their own tough code of the streets! This is not right!”

And maybe waiting to see how Yoh’s actions are treated in subsequent chapters might yield a clue as to the author’s intentions.

Well that's good point.

Well Yoh got a little creepy there at the end, didn't she. It's a bit of poetic justice when she found out that Misa had a wet dream about her beloved Sempi, because of it.
Obviously I'll be rooting for Yoh, but molesting the girl, she likes, in her sleep is going to make it harder.

Edit: Sometimes I'm not sure how a manga author wants us to perceive things. Are we suppose to look at Yoh molesting Misa as the depraved act, most of us would agree it is. Or are we suppose to see it as just Yoh's youthful feeling boiling over.
I've seen many things, in manga, that I would consider wrong, and in some cases even down right criminal, treated like it's no big deal. In Morinaga Milk's Sweet Lips, the girl literally tied up and raped her best friend as a confession of her love. Not to mention the tons of Age gap lolicon's that treat an adult dating a child as okay. So I'm really not sure how, Yoh having her way with Misa in her sleep, is suppose to make me feel about her character.

I bow out gracefully. For the record I never thought that women were not into sex, or that they didn't get turned on. Honestly I don't know what I thought. I guess I see us guys getting worked up over T&A and feel like we were objectifing women in some small way, and thought lesbians would be more respectful some how. However I know straight women drool over guy parts (As gross as that seems to me. lol). So it would logically follow that women that are into the ladies, would do the same, to all of those cute females.
So I raise a glass to all of us, who see that girl, with the nice rack, on the subway, and think I hope she brushes those against me, and say "party on dudes, and dudets".

That line of thinking "lesbians are more respectful" because I didn't think they sexualized others is, mm~ problematic mindset. You make it sound like it's bad to be sexual beings. It's not. Women aren't creeped out by men who have urges. Most of us have them regardless of our sex, gender and orientation. Appreciating someone doesn't automatically mean you're objectifying them, and even if you are, the key thing is how you TREAT that person. That's where the problems comes from.

A person thinking someone is hot doesn't mean you have access them, right?

taps chin Who do I think is really hot...I'll go with my childhood crush, Lucy Liu. I objectified her up and down. But that didn't stop me from realizing she's a human being with boundaries and feelings. And if, I had ever encountered her, didn't mean I had access to her simply because she was there, because she was a public figure.

Point taken.

I like the idea, of inexperienced lesbians getting excited like a horny teenaged boy when they are around an attractive woman, but I just can't picture real lesbians acting like that.

Bro she was basically keysmashing IRL that is classic lesbian activity.

It's not the emotional excitement. I believe that easily. It's the sexual excitement that I can't see. For instance, Mei getting flustered that Sensei's chest was so close, or being totally stoked about seeing boobs, just seems something thrown in as fan service for us guys.

This may come as a shock to you, but women can get horny too. There is, in fact, absolutely no reason why a woman should be less horny than a man, regardless of her sexual orientation.

Sigh. I think I'm being misunderstood. It's my fault. I don't know how to put this thought into words very well. It's just when I think of lesbians sexual attraction, I just see it more abstract. Men tend to break women down into a collection of body parts, "Wow check out her boobs", or "That woman has a nice ass". I think of lesbians looking at women as a whole. "That woman is really pretty".

i don't know I guess I just can't picture lesbians being turned on by a mere boob brush, like a horny teeage boy in a ecchi harem manga.

Edit: Maybe I'm giving lesbians too much credit, and some of them are turned on, because the girl with the nice rack brushed it against her while slipping past her on the subway.

Bruh what lesbians aren't uwu pure beans who just see the beauty of other women uwu we're normal humans with a normal sex drive and we too are into things like tits or ass. Lesbians are just as sexually attracted to women as a straight man would be. There's nothing abstract about us. And saying you're giving too much credit to lesbians is making sound like it's not normal for us to have a normal sex drive

I apologize for that wording. I regreted it as soon as I shut down my computer, but It was super late so I let it stand.

quick question have you ever spoken with a woman in real life?

Yes of course I have. What I haven't done is have lengthy conversations with lesbains, especially about their sexuality.

I have very mixed feelins about this new revelation, about the girls' mothers. On the one hand, I kind of hate that they let men lead them astray from their S&M path of yuri love. On the other hand that did let them have daughters to carry on their yuri tradition.
Does this mean the girls will also one day turn their backs on their love, to heed the siren call of men and and children. That really bums me out man.

IVF is possible.¯_(ツ)_/¯

No that doesn't make sense. If they were doing that, I think they would probably just stayed a couple and made a family together.

My guess is after high school one of them, my money is on Mio's mom, convinced herself that their love was just a mistake of youth. She descided to have a "proper love" and started to date guys. And either got pregnant, or had a short lived marriage that left her with Mio. Mayuko probably just got a man so she wouldn't be left behind. Obviously Mayuko's relationship held out a bit longer, seeing she has two kids. While they were "playing it straight", then focusing on raising their kids they were secretly pining for each other. That's why they stayed at arm's lengh from each other, because it hurt to be so near and yet so far.

But anyway yeah I fucking love Sensei. Someone being able to predict me and read through me is a huuuuuge turn on, it’s like being pinned to a wall but in your head. Ugh. Based. And then she’s also got the Tamamusi gay loser office lady vibes underneath?? AND she has tragic/possessive vibes? Was this character designed specifically for me by the random motion of the universe????

I did like the whole experienced lesbians wise in the ways of women vibe Sensei was putting out, Hovever I must have missed the Tamamusi gay loser office lady undertone.

Haven't Yamada and Kase had sex already? I guess I could understand a little self consciousness about sleeping the same bed. But Yamada's mental vapor lock seemed a bit over the top.

There is a yuri oneshot, where a girl is making a scarf for her female sempi, who she has a crush on. Her best friend is confused but in end helps. In doing so she realizes, she has feelings for her friend. Does anyone know the name of it.

Probably this:

Yes that's it. I've been looking for this for quite awhile. And I totally forgot the sequel. Thanks to you both are safely in my favorites list.

I can't think of anything more bittersweet than seeing the woman you're in love with, in the beautiful wedding dress, she will be wearing, while marrying someone else.

Aint sweet that's just pain

How could you not just melt when the woman you love stands before you looking so radiant, and happy.

This chapter was a sweet change from all the drama I've been reading on the site lately. And Kasumi kissing Sakurako made this old yuri skeptic's heart swoon.
