Very interesting art, I like it.

"For this desire I concluded on after much thought...this life of mine, I'll exchange it!"

Makes me want to watch Madoka: Old English Edition

Hahahaha. I didn't think about how unusual that phrasing was before.

Aww, this one is great. Tsumari's determination to confess is pretty feelsy, and then such a satisfying conclusion.

Oh wow, this is great. It seems pretty in character.

Hiroki is a terrible friend and she doesn't deserve Mana's affection

What, why? Because she's oblivious to Mana's feelings? That's Mana's fault. You can blame Hiroki for being stupid or imperceptive, but that's not really up to her.

I really liked this up until the ending, and then it just seemed like a waste. Mana is great, though. I love seeing arrogant characters falling in love. The way they change how they act around that person is always charming.

Too bad really, Chako was too lovable to only get two chapters of content.

For sure. Chako is a lovable rascal. You really don't see characters like her at all in yuri manga. I like the main two just fine, but Chako absolutely made this series. Shame to see it go.

This translation is a little hard to follow at times... damned if the story isn't hot, though.

Pg. 24: "We can't do this so suddenly... I like you."
Hahahaha. Such dialogue.
I thought it was cute, if a bit shallow.

This has always been one of my favorites. The art's a little shaky, but it's mostly fine. I love the dry sense of humor. I love the dignity Sensei carries on with. I absolutely adore the confession, one of my favorites in yuri. I love how completely Hayaka is won over by Sensei's feelings. I love the ending. Everything about this one-shot is wonderful. I've always wished there was more from this author.

The art in this one is gorgeous. Unlike a lot of yuri where a character is said to be beautiful, but actually is rather generic-looking, both the characters really are stunning in their own ways.

Leaps right up into the pantheon of best yuri one-shots, for me. You really get a good sense of how heartbroken senpai was after her breakup. That, coupled with Mei's refusal to give up on it, really made this great.

I don't really understand what Taki was thinking letting Sakura sit for a few weeks. If she intended to visit her anyway, why say 'fine'? Sakura went through a lot of torment after that. Maybe she got tired of waiting for Sakura to make it up to her, but it just seems callous to me.

Damn, this is pretty well-written. Props to Nanzaki Iku.

Fujiwara just comes across as an oddball and a social misfit. She can't read people, she doesn't make friends easily, and she has some unusual hobbies (zombie flicks, dragonfly catching). She doesn't fit in in a girl's school.

Meanwhile, Miu is vain and kind of disillusioned. Her mother's advice has screwed her up good. She places great stock in her appearance and how others view her. Hopefully Kaede's request will force her to realize how unfair she's been to Fujiwara so far, and how kind Fujiwara has been despite that.

I hope we see Fujiwara get a little emotional in the next chapter. So far she's been perfectly content just getting a friend to hang out with, but even her new friend is just using her. Miu would fall for her completely if Fujiwara cried.

Reading chapter three, it felt like Youko's obsession over how much of a jerk Keito is was just masking her attraction to him. But I guess that's not the case.

Or maybe, if we're lucky, Maki'll just be portrayed as someone who's blindly crushing on an insensitive jerk who treats her best friend badly. What would be nice for a change is that Youko just fails to win Maki over and just moves on to be in a relationship with some other girl. We don't seem to get enough stories like that and I really like them.

This would be awesome to see. Do you have other examples of that in yuri manga? Tears of Thorn is sort of similar.

This is great, and I'm relieved to hear it's already done. Looking forward to the rest.
I can relate to Chi - "I don't like alcohol and I don't like people" - that strikes close.

God, this was so good. Equal parts clever, funny, romantic, dramatic. It's great to hear that so much more is on the way... assuming it gets scanlated. Awesome.

Not a fan of everyone's infatuation with Cloud, but I suppose that's to be expected. Aeris's lewdity is quite amusing, though.

The first story is amazing. One of the best NSFW oneshots I've read.

Cute story.
Somehow I got reminded of Giraffes' Necks Are Too Long.

I was thinking that as well, with her expressions revealing what's on her mind.

What exactly qualifies this as 'moderate' amounts of sex? It seems pretty damn lewd to me.

This is really good so far, and I want to believe it'll keep being good. It kind of makes me nervous, though, that there'll be more het in the future to slog through. Is this ongoing? Do we know if it has a yuri end?

This series reminded me a lot of Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou, in a lot of ways. It's really very good, I love the atmosphere. I just wish they'd kissed. The ending is explicit enough in my mind, it's definitely yuri, but I crave that final kiss. Wish it'd happened in YKK too, for that matter.

Love this series, but I wish I'd never picked it up. 4 pages at a time at this pace is absolutely torturous.

I'd kill for another long story like Kimi Koi Limit... but this was nice too. The art is gorgeous.
