Maybe she'll burst into flames if she's not married by next Friday. The gods are truly cruel.

Oh my...
If that's the case, we'll assume the mangaka to have a one whole page of Asako's drawing getting burnt in live .
Time to suggest the Tragedy tag here..

The gods are just fed up with useless lesbians and have decided to intervene

May I ask the gods, what should lesbians do so that they are not useless?

She'll turn back into a pumpkin

Great! At least the useless lesbian becomes productivity simply by turning into a product...

It may seem odd, but there really are people who set arbitrary deadlines for themselves or assign a lot of meaning to anniversaries and dates from their past. Especially when it concerns family members, and especially when they're obsessed with / unfulfilled in their relationship with that person. It wouldn't seem strange to me that Asako, who doesn't seem to spend a lot of time allowing herself to experience emotions, has those kinds of symbolic dates in her mental and emotional landscape.

Oh, I understand this. I used to not understand about people talking about how they want to achieve something by 30, or in their mid 20s..
Actually, I still don't quite understand now.
Because I was taught that, we have our own pace. Somewhere, somehow, definitely, slowly but surely, we will get to a point where we understand what we want and we will pursue it according to our own timeline..

I can understand Zhang's intention to getting a lavender marriage with a man.
Zhang cares deeply about her family, and that her grandma is her precious out of all.
With her grandma's health condition getting worse year by year, and Zhang's intention to get married may have something to do with
(1) a superstition saying that bringing a marriage to home will bring luck and also health to the old people
(2) her grandma's wish is to see Zhang marriage before she dies
Whatever Zhang intention is, in Chinese culture, those are the valid reasons most sexual minorities decided to repress their nature and get themselves married, which is sad but most of them were really like that..They can't just 'be themselves'..they will be shunned by the society, losing jobs, losing friends, losing $$..it's too much of a risk.

Though I admire Dai Yi's courage of her revealing her sexual orientation to her family at the very beginning.
But in reality, most people who acted out like Dai Yi to their family are mostly getting backlashed.
Some of their moms would even threatened to kill themselves so that their daughters/sons could 'get back to normal' and 'get married' and have kids.
Even though their children already have a same-sex partner.
They would berate the partner, threatened and even locked their children away from their partner so that their children would obey to them.
If you happened to be active in Weibo and see the young ones' confession about accidentally out of closet due to some unforeseen circumstances, you'll see most of their parents will be infuriate and threatened to cut off their financial support so that their children will 'go back to the right, heteronormative path'.

That being said...
If DaiYi could understand Ms. Zhang's intention, what would happen?
I wanted to know if DaiYi would get near to Ms Zhang. But if that happens, what will happened to both of them?
Since it's clear that Ms. Zhang got herself into the marriage because of her grandma..

In Weibo, when someone consults about their relationship affair about the other half decided to get married out of societal expectation, but said that her other half promises that she is still the one she loves, everyone in the comment berated the person back by saying:
"But you do know that, your other half decided to get married. Once the marriage is valid, it means there will only be one : they are husband and wife, and you? You're just a third wheel, or a 'mistress'."

So what will happen to both of them if they decided to be together?
I don't think Ms. Zhang will cancel the marriage just because of DaiYi.
Afterall, she gets married in the first place because of her beloved grandma..

It may be due to cultural differences that some don't understand why Ms.Zhang does that, and as a result, they find Ms. Zhang's decision to be quite a selfish act.
To be honest, at first, I don't understand too.
But with all the pressure and responsibility bringing to their shoulders.. unless the young-mid generation of their society believes that love has no boundaries and shouldn't' be based on genders, and decided to have a change about this, they will always end up and stuck to this infinite loop. There will always be someone who will end up getting hurt, either by being themselves, or losing something, like family or their loved ones, or conform to the societal expectation.
Basically it's like once they reach to a certain age, they are forced to pick and choose and throw away something in order to have the thing they consider the most important to their lives.

It's like the society is telling them -- You simply can't Have it All .

But most importantly is that, do their society want a change on this?
Or that they are absolutely fine to see some suffer, because to them, the importance of having population > love is what they should conform to, as it had always been?
But marriage is a complex issue. Most people are straight but they choose not to get married and have kids.
Yet they choose to blame the issue to the sexual minorities, who apparently get married and some even decided to have kids.
I don't quite get their logic at all.
They seem to just want to have solved the issue through a lazy manner by just pinpoint on the not so obvious.
Like instead of solving the obvious reasons why they aren't married and have kids, they go with

"Let's just blame on certain people because they are the ones that made the whole population go down."
"Let's just make these people feel bad for being who they are."

But, is that really the case?

I don't.. understand all of these anymore.

insert sad face

Whatever these two decided to go for and how they are dealing with their current issue, I'll root for them as a reader.

After all, the reality isn't.. giving much option for people to live however they want to live without possibly throwing something away..
I really do wish people live happily through finding ways of what they considered happiness..
But..
Sorry for the rant. I hope you all are doing fine and well.
Take care and have a good day.

So, from what Asako san's monologue, may I assume that something is going to happen to her life once she turns 18? Is it something to do with arranged marriage?
But I have to agree on something: you'll want to kiss someone when it's time, and naturally.
You'll know when to kiss..
I wonder why there is no research about this. Like, when is the right time to kiss?
Does your body just know if it's the right time to kiss?
And hopefully, there is a research about it and the starting line it goes with this:"Apparently, your body does know when the right time is for kissing!.."

I've been thinking..
Kirara san looks familiar.. until it reminded me of XXXHolic..
Speaking of the bread memorization thing, it only reminds me of Doraemon's tool . Copy paste the answers on the bread and eat them so Nobita can remembered them..

If Angel was expelled because she falls for another angel who happens to have the same gender as her...
Wait, that doesn't make any sense.
Shouldn't angels genderless..?
But if I'm Haruka, I wanted to help Angel to find her own place. Or that, if there's anything I could do so Angel San can go back to wherever Angel san belongs to..
Angel san, what should I do to send you back to where you are?

Wah.. that's really some serious defamation going on to the girls. They worked so hard for their position and they were being insulted for things they never did? ... :(
Is that applicable to the real life world too?
That's terrible :(...

But uh... I think that goes overboard though, Ayaka San wears a wig and pretends to be her former manager. It's cruel. Anyone would get upset if they made fun of their past about people they cared about dearly.

Ok, that divine intervention thing is starting to brick me. It reminds me of lots lots negative memories..ugh, this painful feeling and memories...*sigh*

Oh no!
The whole 'yuri group' in Weibo thing struck me so hard.
Totally resonates to what the girl has up to.. ._.

Ok, what the...!
If the person on the other side found out about this dark little secret of this girl wrote...
oh my ..(/)__(\ )
This is so embarrassing!

Troll commentor haha ...haha..haha

Is the escape room in the world of this manhua that intense?
It feels as if they went to an alternate reality...

p.s. To The Golden Orchid who happens to do all the Translation,Editing,Typesetter and QC by him/herself,
I would like to say thank you and
do you need a helping hand? :D
Is it possible to help you in any ways?

I see that Hiro san is an A.I.
She is given a learning model to tackle the problems and solve them. She has already learned the methods to solve the problems the easiest way (for example, solving puzzle), but if human told Hiro san (in this case, it's Chika san) that to solve a puzzle is to start from the corner or it takes all the fun away, then she will learn and adapt to this method by getting rid the most efficient and the right way to solve a puzzle because 'that is how human thinks'.

Ok so..
something heard my calling when I was just reading a manga just now that has little to no hints on yuri, and I asked that if it is possible, please change it to BFF tag instead?
And I clicked this to find the tagline that goes "100% yuri"
... ._.;;;

p.s I checked what 大鍋菜is, and it sounds like a vegetable stew in a big bowl.
I think that is what it is.

Hi..
sorry for this request but, if the book isn't about yuri, is it possible to tag 'best friend forever' or 'bff' tag instead?
Doesn't want the series to be misleading
Thank you for hearing this out :3
-- Oh wait no what?
Why did they hurt her? W H Y DDD:?!

There should be a 'Warning: friendzoned' tag for the weak-hearted readers..

...?
What hidden message?
Is she overthinking? D:
Ow but I like the two rabbit dolls at pg 00432. So cute with their photos together uww (q_q)
Aww..but giving her cakes year after year is cute reminiscence and she remembers them!
I guess I am really not a good fit for relationship and stuffs..and

What does it mean by..
"Haven't noticed that my girlfriend's pet name for me is just my forbidden given name said twice in a row?"

...
..:'(
Konomi san, you .. break Yuzu san's heart
(smack Konomi's head)

Umm.. Just wanted to tell the main character that, it's really ok to be alone. No need to force yourself into a group of three.. but I don't think the story will progress if you don't make friends with them..
But in reality, there are many outcasts and, they still live perfectly fine in their own.

p.s. what a nice friend to kick your friend straight to the chest and shouted "GO TO HEAVEN".
Usually, people shout "GO TO HELL" though..
..oh wait, she stabbed her?
...
...
....
Ok. ..

Oh no.. this isn't good. Sounds like Yuna San is sick... If only Rena San took her to the ambulance when Yuna san is still sleeping, then maybe they would find out something is wrong.
Maybe something's wrong with the apartment. But what is the thing that could slowly poison someone in the apartment so long that it could turn out to be a sleeping disorder and later on becomes lethal?

When i first read this series and ch13, I laughed off Hayase san's expression. Years later, rereading ch13, I kind of understand what Komugi san was saying and I couldn't laugh it off like I used..
Luckily Hayase san and Komugi san found each other, don't you think so?
It's a miracle that two girls fall for each other and could love each other. Yes , it's indeed a miracle and they cherish it.

This reminds me of something i saw on X.
A drawing of a girl who couldn't walk or move her legs, and that she wore a pair of metal boots that regained her ability to walk or fly again.
(ah yes.. that metal boots at the end. I remembered seeing it somewhere on X, and when she didn't wear the boots, she would use a wheelchair)
I wonder if that drawing refers to this two?
Because in that drawing, they seem to be a lovey-dovey couple.
They are sweet..
(Ah wait.. i think it's really them! It's them! (;+; )
Never thought the couple referring from X is them...

Oh and, haven't seen a good storyline for awhile now. The story is so mesmerizing.
This is good, really really good.
I think.. I fall in love with these two..
This is so good (;+; )..

Hope to see it keep serialized!

This is an adventure yuri manga that has been done really well . I hardly seen these kinds of manga lately. It has plot, a storyline, characters etc. It's really good.
Needed a change of storyline due to most yuri mangas about school girls or modern setting nowadays.
This is good.

No, actually! Chapter 100 is. You can find all the chapters on MangaDex.

Oh, thank you so much for your replies.

Wonder what the implication of nicknaming her "canary" is. The only reference I can think of is the phrase "canary in the coal mine," which doesn't seem applicable. So why is she that bird over any other songbird that might be kept in a cage?

Hi, from what I have searched on the internet, in Chinese, "canary" here is to describe a woman that has been overprotected , or that her life has been in a protective environment (meaning that this lady here could be born with a golden spoon/ or that in this case, she was chosen by the empress Dowager to live a privilege and a wealthy life (with conditions of course) and has never been to the 'outside' world and face difficulties of her own. Therefore, she will have difficulties to cope with a hard life that's different than what she has now because she is lack of necessary life skills to live-- in this case, she is too used to be taken care of her subordinates, or empress/emperor etc. Therefore, she could only rely or depend on them for survival.

Do we know for certain this is the bird being named in the original? It might be a translation choice for a familiar cage or song bird for a more unfamiliar word in Mandarin?

And yes, you're absolutely right! The reason Chinese named them as 'canary' because in the olden days, the 'canary birds' are often put in a cage and they are being fed well and taken care of (though if they release the bird, I am pretty sure the canary can still survive by its own but basically that's what it means)-- a lady that's been 'caged' in an environment and been taken care of and fed well that she need not worry about the reality of the world. She is basically 'taken care of' like the canary bird in the cage, with no freedom to explore different lives that she could have the possibilities of.

Though I am pretty sure there is a more concise word for the translation of it.
I hope this answers your question.

The depiction of a couple's lives in this manga is beautiful..
for example, in ch 39, where Sakuma san prepares dishes , and sensei just drew her cooking , eating, watching tv, washing the plates...
it gives off the relaxing vibe..that it's beautiful

this is so healing...

but haha..
funny how Wanko san had a nightmare that she wouldn't make it as a popular voice actress
but her girlfriend, Sakuma san had a nightmare that Wanko san became a popular voice actress that their distance became far off from each other

I really love this series.
It's very mature vibe. Pleasant .
A very much anticipated modern ordinary life of a couple living their lives.
It's beautiful. It feels like an art.
Though I wish it to be real and true, to real-life couples in our world.

Hi, would like to ask if CH08 is the last chapter of this series?

ch01:
So..she just leaves her house with a key and some money to a stranger..?
Even to the point of asking her to use the money freely?
Owh.. that's very generous of her.
When I was reading this back then, I didn't realize how big this issue is until I start working
Is it.. really.. OK.. to do so? scratch head

ch29 is really depressing..
Is Non-chan really.. gone?
But it does give a yuri undertone.. especially ch29.
You know at the end they were playing fireworks and she was clinging to Non chan like a couple usually do..
This hurts real bad
...
Ok, my tears was unnecessary.
She revived in ch30 ._.

Megu san, you win my vote.
Now, both of you are side characters of the ecchi manga besides the protagonist kun.
Good for ya
