The train info is interesting.
Reminds me of a train I took before.
I don't quite remember the last train to depart to my place, but it was quite late, and yes, I remembered it was the last train because most people boarded off the same place with me.

I think it was around 2-3AM, instead of the usual 1AM.
The train that departed from the city (because I had part time in the city centre)
And I thought the train operates 24/7 (haha, silly me).
But I kind of understand why the train was still operating that late (because it was the weekend , and many would go to city to have a drink).
I remembered having to walk together with a bunch of people to go back to my dorm.
It was a one of a kind experience.
I actually liked it XD
Especially to sit on the last train, it was really fun to do.

This one-shot reminds me of my college days..
I miss my college days now haha

Thank you knight heron for the special lecture about the difference of oranges,mandarin, clementine, tangerine , and or mikan :DDD

Wish that this one-shot has sequel xD

Mochi sensei's story is serious, but her character drawing especially Ootsuki san's eyes look funny, like a troll's eyes x'DDDDDD
I don't know why but I can't really take this one-shot seriously x'DDDD

If the coworker manages to break Tashiron up with the girlfriend and go out with her instead, there is the high possibility that the coworker will dump her once she's had her fun. The coworker seems like the type of person who is addicted to stealing cute girls from their partners and, once the thrill of "stealing her" is over, she will probably become disinterested in her and move on to a new victim. If the coworker does break up with Tashiron later, would you consider that a happy ending or bad ending?

Tashiron's personality has already made clear in the beginning that the relationship will be a bad ending in the first place.
If it's a positive outcome, the moment she got herself into an abusive relationship, she would have noticed the red flag and jumped out from the ship.
It's definitely not a good ending for her.
She would just be sulking into that relationship for eternity, and might just end up ki--i mean unappreciated of her own life and do something that will become irreversible in course of action.

Or so, I think that is what she is (?)

If the coworker breaks up with Tashiron, then Tashiron will no longer be in a toxic relationship anymore and have the freedom to regain agency in her life. But then, Tashiron, who does not seem to have high-self esteem nor any friends or family to support her emotionally or financially, might become lonely and depressed. In addition, there might be a possibility that Tashiron will go back to her original girlfriend. Or if she doesn't go back to her girlfriend, there is also the possibility that she will find another girlfriend who mistreats her. Or maybe she will find a girlfriend who treats her right.

So then,
A) Tashiron is able to regain agency in her life and be happy
B) Tashiron will be lonely and miserable
C) Tashiron will go back to her original girlfriend
D) Tashiron will find another girlfriend who mistreats her.
E) Tashiron will find a girlfriend who treats her correctly.

Which possibility do you find the most likely and why? And which possibility do you find the find the least likely?

(Or you don't have to answer. I know it's weird asking a reading question for a yuri manga, but honestly I'm just curious what people might think.)

(C) might be the probable answer here. Since she's alone in an unfamiliar place, and that if her ex comes back to get her, she will be 90%++ going back to her old relationship. She doesn't have the mind of "regaining her status" and "be happy" since her sole happiness builds around those who affect her (and in this case, it could be her ex, or colleagues etc).

(D) is probably another answer IF the character has found herself into another loop where she is attracted to the same ol' type of GF, wherein her current GF (assuming is the co-worker who has yet to break up with her), and that I have this feeling that Tashiron just happens to have this type of personality that attracts this type of people, so unless she learns to break off and kills that personality of her, she'll end up in this type of relationship over and over again.

(E) is the only happy ending if Tashiron wants to, but that would mean to kill off her current personality and habits of her, and that she will start attracting a girlfriend that protects her and treats her correctly, but first , she needs to learn how to respect and love herself.

p.s. Now I remember who Mochi sensei is.
The only mangaka who will draw a knife brandished in front of the readers ._.
No wonder I sense a troll in this piece of one-shot x"DDDD

Speaking of story coherency..
I think I am confused for CH02, because in CH01, the MC was supposed to jump off and die right?
There's 0.00001% that her life would be saved by the CEO's daughter, yet she was saved and in CH02, she became some sort of a 'spy' , to find evidence whether the daughter is the biological daughter of CEO.

I mean.. if in CH01, she wasn't saved by the daughter of the CEO, so what about the task she was assigned by the company then?
Or was it because she was saved, therefore they assigned her the task to find whether the daughter is biological to the CEO?

I .. am certainly confused.
What a twist...?

But hey! Imagine your punishment is to have a sleepover with a CEO's daughter in CH07, but for her safety, you had to be handcuffed?
That's the most bizarre thing I've ever thought of.
Just by imagine getting handcuffed while sleeping beside someone else is.. weird and funny .___.lll

But the funny part of this manga is definitely Nagashima san's usual genuflect position

The credit page for ch01...
"Ooooow... I sense a threatening feel"

But.. I thought in the prologue, Madeleine and Nagi san are mutual?
Since they decided to be together and create an online channel "Wife and Wife"?
And Nagi san said that they both going out offline and online?

...Hmm?
Am I missing something?
I am getting confused..

If Nagi san decided to go out with the Koko san..
Does that mean Nagi san is cheating? (︶︹︺)

Oh hey!
They become the "Wife and Wife' channel :D

Sorry, a question that's unrelated to this but I am curious so..
How much is too much for a person to overdose drugs?
How will that kill a person?
Did the person just happen to have a heart attack and died on spot due to overdose or..?

I think they're probably talking about this, but I don't remember the story all that well, so I might be wrong.

Wow! Thank you Thank you!

I’m on the side of the 1st class yuri appraiser, just cuz they hold hands ain’t yuri….. same with manga tagged Yuri doesn’t mean it’s “Yuri”

AHHH the PTSD of reading a story only to be hit by the curse of they are actually just friends this has left some deep scars on my Soul T^T

I know...
I feel you ＿ﾉ乙(､ﾝ､)＿

Side note, this is reminding me of another manga where an older lady was recalling her life lived as a lesbian who had never come out & had continued living within heteronormativity. I think the story was kind of told through her granddaughter's interactions with her. Does anyone remember what I'm thinking of?

Interesting!
I must have missed this one..
Anyone recalled ? Please share the title of the manga if you remember it, thank you!

You mean.. Sisterism?
https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/sisterism_ch13#10

Most yuri manga would stopped at ch56.
It's like confession? Kiss- the end

Personally speaking, I find this manga fascinating.
It touches on topic that LGBT had, and opposing views from both a couple, their express and desire towards something different, which may or may not lead to a resolution.

I'm going to re-read the old yuri mangas that are available here again.
I think they are a gem nowadays.
Their stories sounded realistic.

If I were to read this few years ago, I may resent the decision Magobee made.
But now I can empathize her reasoning and understand the decision she had on mind.

Not many people had the same thought as Rei does.
I mean, there are other wlw couples who had the same thought and decided "This is it" and choose to settle down with the others.
But there are others who believe their life is only once, therefore they would like an entire different experience , being a mother, a wife..

Time is irreversible, age too.
There are certain things that you can only do in a certain phase.

I would respect the decision both Rei and Magobee had.

That was in those days.

Nowadays, if Magobee wanted to have children, she certainly would have different options to make.
To get married with Rei, have babies and settle down.
However, she might also end up choosing to break up with Rei because she decided to get herself married with a man, be a wife and settle down and have kids..

Whatever path that lies to her, she has the option to choose.
I think that is what the most important, is the option to choose what she wants to be in her life.

It's this disparate world of thought that they break up (irreconcilable differences).
If we remove the element of gender, it's just a couple who have different resolution about their love, with one wanting to move on to another phase and experience a different world, and another wanted to stay as it is.

And this manga is 2009 when it published.
The MC has such a big heart to accept people around her, being friends with LGBT people , whether it be lesbian or gay.
This is so precious nowadays, as we now know of the internet is full of ahem ahem ahem ahem.

Based on the name change I'm wondering if she actually got in under another girl's application, due to her own application being rejected or some other circumstance for the nun to try and do something underhanded.

Thus, maybe the villainess label is from another girl's answers

Oh! This makes much more sense if you interpret it that way.

But I have no no no idea, how on earth did you all manage to read the chapter and concludes that "she has to find a lover" for her villainess role?
Anyone has a clue? I don't,,

Story aside, if I were to have a friend (or girlfriend) who has a tendency to fall on ground frequently, I would be very wary about it and asked her to visit the hospital for a check.

Tomo San's place is actually quite comfortable.. and very zen-ish
Just a bed laying on the floor and some books and necessities, that's all
Nice.
Sorry to comment in the middle of reading but the last chapter seems to tag "tragedy" and I've yet reading it

Hopefully I've come prepared to deal with tragedy

The way Amano sensei censored her character is gold.
And yes, adult Yuri is best.
I really like it
Hope to see more adult yuri contents

Amano sensei has a thing with the pairing chubby x slim?
I like her Sweet Exercise chapter though
That chapter always remind me of donuts

It occurred to me that because some people don't have an inner voice, to a mind reader they'd be unreadable like this girl.

You're correct!
It's true. I have asked my parents about this before, and it seems that they don't have 'inner voice', therefore they're unreadable if someone or two who could read people's minds.

If there are people who have inner voice and could speak according to their head, then would that mean there will be people who can read someone's voice as long as they speak to their head?
Woah... This is going to be one of the most unexplainable things happened in our mind.
I mean..
Can you imagine someone who could read other people's minds, and one who nonchalantly speaks what's in his/her mind because that's the only place they could go to, as they probably have no one to speak to (i. no people interested to listen to their garbage; ii. people are just too busy with their own stuffs)

i pity the person who could read people's minds because well..
you know how people's minds could be extremely nasty and would just speak whatever that comes in a whim, whether it's positive or negative

Keep overhearing negative messages by listening to people's head is going to bring a detrimental to health though.

Is there a way to stop the person to listen to this person's inner voice?
I am pretty sure it brings both to peace if one could block the inner voice , and the other doesn't have to listen to it..

When is this getting licensed already so I can rec it to my "more normal" friends who don't vibe with piracy

If this series is getting popular and more people are into it, and it has its own niche for marketing, and it's worth every penny to be licensed for a release, then it will soon be announced that a company (most likely Seven Sea but..there might be other companies) will pick it up to be licensed.

But right now, think of this as 'testing the water'.
You should show it to your friends if you find this manga to be beautiful.
When it reaches to its popularity, I am pretty sure there will be companies who would come forward to scwinn sensei for the manga to be licensed.

Anyway, if you wanted to help sensei's work, it never hurt to buy the manga too. Though it speaks Japanese.
Sales always help motivate both the publishing company and the mangaka to continue working on the series.

Would people wanted to have their minds heard of?
I feel a great discomfort if people could hear it because it means my nasty mind that's filled with Yuriness is going to explode someone's head...and that's no good ...

I mean.. I've always believed that my little mind here creates this small little space that's reserved just for me to have whatever wild imagination going through.

It felt like someone or something trespassing it without my permission to see what I was thinking and so...
That's offensive T.T..

Can't they just leave my small little mind (my own personal bubble)for my own without hurting it? ...T.T

Winbose 10 and Photoshop transparency hahahahaha...
This is so funny
They cosplay whatever they could come up with. Real cool.
Not in my mind ever to think someone will cosplay layer mask from Photoshop

But this manga does tick me off a little because Shinozaki keeps saying she wanted to save Kaede so that she could become normal ..
Is Kaede not considered normal?

My thoughts on that was .. being friends mean accepting who she or he is, regardless if the person may not like the same thing or stuff as you, but both of you still manage to find similarities that both of you could appreciate to talk about.
Am I wrong?

The sudden twist made the believed -to-be happy ending to be cynical and dark.
Should we suggest a horror tag for this one shot?

I wonder how it feels like to be stabbed at the heart?
Does it hurt so much or does it hurt too much that one will pass out without feeling any pains?

Citrus isn't incest at all. It's just a classic "brand new step-siblings fall in love" setup at its core. Yuri live action version equivalent would be "Transit Girls", and it's a fairly common teen romance trope in general due to many writers themselves having experienced their parents divorce.

I see. Thank you for correcting my mistakes ^^!

The king stated that, all he mattered is that the light of Alphard would not be lost.

Assuming that the light has and should have been passed down to male generations in their kingdom, it was only this occurrence that Leo and Ciel ended up getting each other's magic, instead of what's intended.

It should have been Leo's responsibility if he were the one to hold the light, but since he didn't, Ciel was the one who ended up having it.
That means, in order to pass it down to next generation, she'll have to, eventually bear the children for her kingdom.

Unfortunately for her, Ciel love interest is Evris, and so that itself has already stopped her from able to procreate as man and woman needed to procreate to pass down the light ( it's as if in this story setting, the only way to get the magic is born innate, like there's no other ways of getting it, such as stealing it with dark magic/spells etc.. although if it's possible to do so, then Ciel would have just happily exchange it with her brother and lives her own life with her beloved..or so I thought. And also, because the setting is only a twin in this case, male and female that happens to obtain power of the opposite, so it makes the situation desperate. In real life setting, the king would have had thousands of concubines and spread as much light as possible so that there are many who might be the light for the kingdom sarcasm intended, sorry for people who read it and feel offended by the thought of it)

I think this is what the King was trying to say. Therefore, he considered Evris to be the witch because if she doesn't exist, then Ciel wouldn't have chosen her to be her lover (and also because Ciel feeling guilt over having the light of Alphard instead of Leo, and that because Leo has the dark magic, he's"banished" from his country as dark magic is considered to be the magic of death. It doesn't flourish the country.)
You know the whole thing about the country is about to doom if only one species exists, and assume that other species that is about to doom is the light, so as to speak... You get the idea wink wink

Still... all hope is not lost, because this is a country of light, hope and full of magics.

What Ciel is trying to introduce the people of country is that, dark magic isn't bad, it can be used to help people too, so people shouldn't be afraid of, instead embrace it, as people who thinks of dark magic as dark and bad are the ones who use them in a dark and bad manner (magic is just a tool, and it's the person's mind who determines whether it should be used to do bad stuff or wrong).

And also to bring back his brother to the country.
The country shouldn't just accept the world of light, they should accept dark magic to work together. Just because someone is born with dark magic, doesn't mean the person is bad.

Or so, I think that's what I interpret as I read along the story.
