I looked up some of the other stuff Kanalina does and this one is pretty tame. The other stuff they do is even more hardcore.

What happened to this?

Scanlator went AWOL, that's what happened.

Though it seems they're somewhat back recently? They posted some porn works.

So maybe they'll resume it.

Very weird and unsettling. There were no girls in that park, but only boys posing as girls? Not even trans girls. Until the MC was brainwashed and forced to transition and become a "real" girl by his senpai?

It vaguely reminds me of a hentai with men forcibly turning into girls when they have sex with some special women and then them being raped by other men, etc, until the whole of humanity are girls. Or something.

This is somewhat uncomfortable to me. I see to what fetish it appeals and some might enjoy it, but it's not my thing. I don't see it as technically yuri.

I think the ghost tag should go. There's no ghost here.

Also, it's obviously filled with references to Alice in Wonderland.

I just noticed something, when reading chapter 10 and 17 in parallel.

In 17, Fuuko takes the "blame" for the cheating, not mentioning that the one who initiated sex was Yuni. Just keeping on manipulating Yuni into making it "not her fault".

Also, in CH10, it insists visually on the book about the caterpillar fungus. You know, the fungus that invades a living organism, makes it a zombie, and eventually kills it from the inside to develop itself.

Ie, from the beginning, Fuuko's plan was to parasitize Yuni and Nanase's relationship and kill it from the inside.

She totally ate that bird. We can see the feathers on the ground.

Also, it's tagged yuri on Pixiv and all Japanese sites, so there should be some eventually, even if it's not the main theme.

Communication? In my yuri manga?

Reminds me of this : https://dynasty-scans.com/series/girl_x_girl_x_boy

As per today's standards, it MUST have a Het tag because there's a girl expressing interest toward a boy and some people might be offended.

That the end is yuri is irrelevant. There's a BOY!

Density of a neutron star I see. Or she's doing it on purpose.

But it's getting tedious.

Seriously, is there any real possibility for Hibiki and Chihaya getting together, romantically, or is it just going to a one sided thing. I'm looking for spoilers hear. I'm not really interested in reading a long heart wrenching yuri series just to see the guy walk away with girl in the end.

The manga is ongoing. How could anyone spoil you? And besides, I think the title spells pretty clearly the guy won't walk away with the girl.

btw, as per Chapter 6, Yuni & Nanase have been dating for 6 month.

Re-reading this chapter, I love the composition of page 11. Fuuko takes the stance of the one protecting Yuni from the baaad Nanase, all the while asserting and showing how touchy feely she can get with her and how Yuni doesn't reject her at all!

All the body language, eyes and faces are masterful. Nanase's face on page 22-23 is a poster for the face of a character when they realize they've been NTR'd and their whole world crumbles.

Iwami Kiyoko's work is awe inspiring.

I don't understand how anyone can dislike this masterpiece.

Also, what I noticed is that the main gripe people have about Yuni is that she never tried to communicate her "loneliness" to Nanase. And so, it's also her fault if she's been neglected. Commnunication, blah, blah blah...

But people are judging this from a western point of view, where people are used to be told to lay things on the table and discuss the issues.

The way Japanese people interact is different and one of the things I noticed is that they dislike direct confrontation, or criticizing others directly. There's this whole cultural thing about "reading the room" or "disturbing the harmony" that prevents direct communication and expects people to take hints on what others are thinking and avoid making a fuss or putting others in a difficult position. Not to say that some Japanese people don't do it, but it's considered rude.

The whole situation stems from the fact Nanase's unable to read and respond to Yuni's emotions and needs, and for that reason, their relationship's falling apart. And the fact Yuni doesn't confront her is because IT'S NOT SOMETHING YOU DO EASILY IN THEIR CULTURE. There needs to be a real crisis for them to speak their mind, like in the latest chapter. Yuni's at the end of her rope. She loves Nanase, but she finds in Fuuko everything she lacking in her own relationship and she's at an impasse.

On the other hand, Fuuko's really good at it. She can read Yuni and Nanase easily. She can navigate the whole thing without a hitch, so she's able to poke holes in the relationship easily.

Anyway, my point is, trying to judge these characters' behavior from a western point of view is completely different than how Japanese readers perceive it. Even they think "cheating is bad" of course, but to them, the whole situation doesn't seem as implausible or as "easily solved" as some readers here seem to think.

Damn I could be taking them a bit more seriously if everyone's bodies didn't look sculpted for the male gaze. Yuni being a lil piece of shit, as she should. Terrified to see what this cumulates into now that everything is revealed. I'm still curious what's driving Fuuko's whole mentality. What does she get out of NTRing these two.

What's "sculpted for the male gaze" doing here? Women aren't allowed to appreciate their body? When girls are drawn for girls, they should be drawn as plain as possible? So as to avoid those icky male gazes?

The only thing I have a bit of gripe about is that these three have huge boobs, which is a bit unrealistic for 3 Japanese high school girls.

Other than that, they're totally sculpted for anyone who appreciates the female body.

Nah... Not really... It's just a mess.

Sorry, not sorry, but I love it.

The art's gorgeous, the ladies are hot and the story is very good at what it does.

It's very exaggerated of course; the characters overreact, the twists are implausible and it's a dumpster fire. But there's something really endearing about seeing it burn.

Yuni's pathetic, Fuuko's a manipulative bitch who decided she'd always be in control and Nanase's like a lamb to the slaughter who doesn't know what hit her because she fails hard at being a girlfriend.

Now, I wish Nanase tries to regain control and to win Yuni back. While it'd be logical to just walk away, like any sane person would do, maybe she has in her the will to fight.

The real question is: does Nanase actually love Yuni, or is she in love with the idea of having a girlfriend?

If you love something, you have to fight for it. If you give up that easily, it means you didn't love it that much in the first place.

Bisexual is stretching it thin. I vote against the tag.

There's no indication the blond one is even gay.

Well, she could have called her oba-san if it was her aunt, but then she looks young enough (in her late 20s?) and oba-san invokes a much older lady an it'd be a bit impolite.

I personally think she's from the uncle's circle (music lovers hanging out in the same live houses) and he brought Mitsuki there when she was little, so she knows her. That she and the uncle were a thing is still speculation. But at least, we knows she's been living abroad and just (recently?) returned.

Yeah, I don't care if the the author came out and swore up and down that "No, no, they're totally straight, this story isn't gay at all." I'd just call them a goddamned liar. Even if the translation were being way too generous, nobody straight daydreams about the nape of their bestie's neck like that.

What you don't think about the napes of your homies' necks?

Also, was that the nape of her neck she was thinking about? I just assumed it was generally how close they were.

In the last panels, what I see is Aya thinking back about how their shoulders touched and thinking that it makes for the best "tender memories". It's ambiguous if it's the situation or the pic (probably both).
