I've seen so many manga that have scenes where a group of boys walk up to the main characters and say a variations of the line "Wanna come play with us". To me, a gang of boys rolling up on a couple of girls and saying something like that, always seems less like a pick up line and more like a threat of sexual violence.

That's the way it's often played in manga--the key tell on the "potential threat" version is when there are more boys than girls.

Other times it's just a clueless pair of boys looking to hang out with cute chicks as a setup to a "She's with me!" intervention by one of the MCs.

That's seems to be sensible guideline for interpreting the mood, the author is going for. Either way though, it still seems like a creepy thing to say to start a conversation. Maybe it's just a common line in japan, that just doesn't translate well. I've noticed that many time translators use the word "play" when I think they mean something like "hang out". "Wanna come hang out with us" feels less threatening than "Wanna come play with us", to me at least.

I'm torn. I really want a love-y dove-y scene. Nothing lewd of course. Just a kiss, a close embrace , or even some in your face, uncensored hand holding. (Edit: Just something to show that their relationship has crossed the line from just friends into something more) However this series has been so chaste and pure, I'm afraid that even those trivial displays of physical affection, would feel distastefully over the top.

Wait no one is questioning the fact the company only had one brand new plate, or that the one plate costs the rough equivalent of 10,000 dollars? Who buys a freaken 10G plate and just lends it to the company staff to use? Lol

It just dawned on me while reading this chapter, but actual lesbians would probably hate it if another woman did something prevented to them, then dismissed it by saying things like it's okay were both girls.

If the conservative religious creeps see this series, they'll think cool old rock music turns kids gay and ban it.

The power dynamics of a polygamist relationships would just be a nightmare. Someone would always end up wanting what the others couldn't give.

The old, friends untimely appearance, cliche. It's ruined so many yuri dates and intimate moments,

Miss Sunflower has a rotary phone. When is this story suppose to take place?

Currently. The Sunflower bookery is famous for being an old-fashioned place.

I'm not sure a rotary phone would even still work on modern networks

Can confirm—rotary phones work just fine on current landline networks.

Really. I actually would have bet they wouldn't work. That's three times in as many days my intuition has failed me. I guess I should stop trust my gut. The force is not with me. Lol

Today SADxxTGFDS taught us, we're not suppose to eat makeup, or drink the liquid that homunculi live in. I told you people this manga was trying sneak fancy book learning into our brains.

Also you should find your own happiness instead of having it given to you.
Like boobs.

Ooh good point.

Curse you SADxxTGFS for trying to make me a better person.

Scorpions don't eat for months. Anglerfish use bacteria to light up their lures. Run they're trying teach us stuff.

Also human girl should totally get Frequent Pooper on her business cards.

I'm reading this series because it's cute and kind of amusing. Tae trying to keep her feelings for Mai pure, while Mai keeps saying those cute little things, blissfully ignorant of how flirtatious they sound. It's all so adorable. I'm assuming, when the shtick gets old, the author will wrap it up and move on.

It's kind of amusing how your usual yuri skepticism actually lets you enjoy this series more. :P

Well golly gee, I never thought I'd ever hear anyone say that :)

Wait, I don't get the joke about the human girl saying she had a third leg at one point too. Was there a chapter she magically grew a penis, or something, and I've just forgot about it?

I also forget, but knowing this series is seems pretty likely lmao

Nah, it was the chapter where she gives the mermaid girl legs. https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/a_story_about_doing_xx_to_girls_from_different_species_ch22#2

Well that explains the joke, if you can even really call it that. Given the nature of this series, I was completely expecting it to be a double entendra.

Hope this doesn't end up dragging...

Honestly what else is it going to do, but drag It can't really go anywhere. Mei and Tae are already friends. And I don't really think anyone wants to see an office lady hook up with a elementary schooler.

Speak for yourself, I'm genuinely not sure why you'd be reading this if that wasn't the outcome you were expecting and/or hoping for.
