reeepost?

Not that I know of. At least, I don't remember reading this one on Dynasty, and I'm a fan of Momono sensei.

idk. this whole oneshot is beyond toxic. on one hand, it's interesting watching these two continue idiotically down their toxic path, but on the other hand, it leaves a slightly bitter taste as you watch the sadistic, selfish and manipulative behaviors of each girl. that said, i'd be great is there was a sequel to this oneshot.

Calling that shit sadistic is an offense to S/M. This story is simply fucked up.

So essentially... one character blackmails and rapes her friend, whom secretly planned for the whole thing to happen?

So even though there's no actual rape, one of the characters is a potential and unapologetic rapist. Why would anyone want to be with someone like that is completely beyond me.

she forces herself on Yuu through half of the story is borderline sexual harassment.

Not like she ask for consent most of the time and Yuu stop her when she goes too far. She had never really forcing herself on Yuu that much beside what ? The first time in the storage before sports day and even there, she ask Yuu if she can kiss her before.

I know that none of it is really sexual harassment, because Yuu does give consent in most occasions. But most of the time it feels like she's just... yielding, due to Touko's insistence. And if you have to insist in order to get consent, isn't it pretty clear that your partner doesn't really want whatever you're asking of them?

And that contract in chapter 10, I think... "Don't fall in love with me or with anyone else." That's a little creepy.

All in all, those things work in the story, because of the way the the plot is built. It's a great story, and there's nothing inherently wrong with Touko's actions there. But if these things were to happen in real life, Touko's behavior would raise a lot of red flags for me.

Also I don't care about the ship, I only live to see Sayaka happy

Pretends Haru doesn't exist

I mean I don't care whether people ship her with Yuu, Haru or even Touko in a doujin, as long as Sayaka gets her happy ending 'cause girl's been through enough heartbreak.

I'm with you there, but in regards to Yuu rather than Sayaka. Because honestly, Touko isn't exactly what I'd call a great partner. She's selfish, and the way she forces herself on Yuu through half of the story is borderline sexual harassment.

(Don't get me wrong, I love YagaKimi too pieces, but if this was real life, I'd advise my friends not to go for Touko. Girl's messed up.)

Also I don't care about the ship, I only live to see Sayaka happy

Pretends Haru doesn't exist

Haru? Was she in the manga or something? I don't remember.

There's a series of official YagaKimi light novels focusing on Sayaka, and Haru is a character of those novels. She's referred to in the very last chapter of the manga.

I can't explain the SayaYuu passion but I feel it. AO3 has a few fics along the lines, largely from one author...

Two authors, actually. Satashi and Abeehiltz. Who are friends, and both into bdsm. And it seems there's an unspoken consensus between them that Sayaka is a domme and Yuu is a brat. Which makes for some really fun stories.

I wish I could forget Qualia the Purple. That is the only manga that has ever truly fucked with my head.

Quantum mechanics: fucking with people's heads since circa 1900.

"I don't really get it but she apparently does martial arts" lmao at that and it being an airsoft gun the whole time.

I think the martial arts thing was okay. But the airsoft gun doesn't make sense. How was she planning on killing Marika without a real gun?

yeah...I barely understood the story but heyYyyyYy happy ending

You'll probably understand it better if you give it another read. The basic plot is not too complicated, it's just a little vague here and there.

"You can really tell how far apart the planets are."

lol nope

https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/even_if_it_was_just_once_i_regret_it_ch11#31 When you're so gay that you grow an extra hand.

I totally didn't notice that.

There is a sequel, it just hasn't been scanlated yet. It's in a later collection that Momono-sensei published, but it's been sold out for a long time and I don't know anyone who's got the raws.

^ Well, everybody dies sooner or later anyway.

Madmen that I'd dare call fascists, I might add.

No doubt about that.

Try Canada, other countries were racism isn't a problem (or you'll find it in the 0.5% of the population) are not very good right now (and others aren't very good ever)

Canada seems pretty good at the moment. Better than Antarctica at least.

The full lockdown was lifted today over here in Panama, I'm not worried about morons killing themselves, but if cases skyrocket we'll be back at square 1 and that affects me and every other sane person :/

I'm checking the Panama covid graphs and I'd say it's not entirely bad. Your country seems to be keeping fairly linear rates of contamination and death.

The reasonable course of action would be to lift restrictions only when the rates drop, such as is the case of Italy. On the other hand, countries like India and Brazil (here) are pressing for reopening businesses while the rates of contamination and death are increasing, which honestly makes no fucking sense (apart from the fact that both of these countries are ruled by madmen).

Technically, anything can happen in any kind of fiction. Fantasy and sci-fi simply give us more freedom in worldbuilding. If you don't like that, well, maybe those genres aren't for you?

Okay so this week we've started seeing proud neonazis coming out in public and taking part in protests on the streets and this is something I've never seen in my country before so it fucking scares me. These aren't the idiots who claim to be nazi but have no idea what they're talking about. These are people brandishing Pravyi Sektor flags and iron cross tattoos. The US president claims his country is going to list Antifa as criminals and our president retweets it.

What the fuck is going on? feat. Is there any way I can permanently move to Antarctica?

Edit: forgot to mention, there was confrontation between some of these far-right groups and antifa on the streets. The cops intervened... to protect the nazis.

I'm accepting suggestions of countries in which nazism is actually fought by the institutions, also maybe instructions on how to apply for a green card?

that the "boyfriend" was actually somehow Lily all along.

Lily exists in both worlds, as Marika has made clear when she first meets her, in the beginning of the story.

Gibberish? Well, I'm not the one who just used the term "half-digested post-modernism", which means literally nothing. But whatever dude.

And it's pretty funny that you're calling me a narcissist while trying to argue that you can objectively qualify things as good or bad based on... your own set of criteria, which isn't necessarily shared by others, even if you try to frame it as "artistic competence".

There's no such thing as "good writing" and "bad writing", there's just the things you like, and the things you don't.

Ah, yes, complete subjectivism—the literary theory of a child, or a narcissist.

Let’s call it “artistic competence,” then. There’s such a thing as technical skill in crafting art that’s separate from an individual’s enjoyment. Coherent structure, plausible and consistent characterization, execution of scene transitions, etc. don’t guarantee that a person will “like” a work, but they exist nonetheless.

And certainly, sloppy pieces of shit may supply someone’s dream ship, and that’s all that matters to them, or one scene strikes an emotional chord based on some random childhood memory while the rest of the plot makes no sense, or a character is just so darned cute that inconsistencies of characterization go unnoticed.

One: "Technical skill" is a straw man in this discussion, this was about whether things can be intrinsically called good and bad, not skillfully executed.

Two: Skill itself is arbitrary. "Skillful execution" even more so. Those are nothing more than social conventions. Call that complete subjectivism or whatever, the point is that you're still trying to systematize things into good and bad based on arbitrary values. Which is foolish.

But it’s not an accident or random subjectivity that certain works consistently are perceived as being more effectively executed than others.

I thought we'd got over that debate way back when Duchamp started calling his ready-mades art.

And seriously, that argument is as flawed as can be. There's a million real-world examples to show this, and unless you only surround yourself with like-minded people, you're gonna have to realize that this effective execution you speak of is a fallacy.

There's no such thing as "good writing" and "bad writing", there's just the things you like, and the things you don't. It's a personal thing. So, for instance, you cite AnoKiss as an example of "good writing", to argue that Liberty is bad writing, but honestly, I kind of like Liberty more than AnoKiss (by a smidge, but yes).

It's the same discussion that people have been carrying on over and over for decades over stuff like Harry Potter, or pop music. If you like an artwork, it's "good" by your standards, while it might be "bad" for someone else. You can't categorize things as objectively good or bad based on arbitrary criteria, that's kinda conceited.

Is it common to see lesbians who are still hung up by their ex-partner?

Honestly? Yes.

There's difference between BDSM dynamic/"slave" live and abusive relationship/being a shitty girlfriend/person. I'd argue most of Liz antics fall into latter category and Maki willingness to try BDSM doesn't give her license for doing anything she feels like.

Well there's an important distinction here. The "sleep on the floor to make room for the bear" and "using Maki as a horse" things are arguably just play.

On the other hand, Liz does behave like a spoiled child and often mistreats Maki simply because she can't handle her own emotions. The way she reacts to getting those earrings, for instance, is just childish. So yeah, she can be an idiot at times.

Also important thing to remember about contracts like that is that they're not legally binding in any way, shape or form and are more of a way for both parties to set on concrete rules and be able to recheck and revisit it every time they want. If someone actually forces you to sing something that could be taken to court cough 50 shades cough then it should be your biggest red flag to turn back, run and never look back.

I think we can both agree that Liz's "slave contract" is just a joke. It really doesn't have any legal value whatsoever.

Ughh every time I see a new chapter of this I’m like

Not to sound rude, but nobody is forcing you to read it.

Liz clearly felt bad after fucking around with asshole-senpai, bad enough to cry a few times afterwards. Yet, in the party she's letting senpai get close to her all over again. She's not reacting, she's not doing anything to change her situation.

You're forgetting that Liz' senpai is also her band's sponsor. Keeping things cordial is not only sensible but also necessary. Besides, Sumire is a manipulative toxic bitch, and Liz still has feelings for her, which makes her even easier to manipulate. It's hard to deal with a situation like that.

As for the rest of your comment, well, same goes as above. You can just ignore this manga if you don't like it.

i bet maki will dump liz and sumire uses this to make liz dependant on her to then dump her again to prove her point of girl on girl relationships wont work.

I'm not going to risk any predictions because it's hard to tell with this author. But I don't think Sumire would dump Liz just to prove a point. If anything, she's aiming to make Liz her plaything, while, idk, getting married to some random guy on the side? Could happen.

Except Yuunagi Marbled. Everyone should read Yuunagi Marbled.

Oh, I can also recommend her one-shots. A girl in ultramarine is still one of my favorite yuri stories. But anything in her one-shot collections should probably be okay.

Edit: personally, as someone who does enjoy Momono's trademark schemes and drama, I think Yuunagi Marbled is a bit too bland. But as far as Momono's work goes, it definitely fits OP's taste more than, say, my personal favorite.
