While it was an unbelievably cruel thing to do to Yukina, I understand why she did it. She sees the three kids as HER children and would rather die then live in a world where they don't have chance to live. Whether that's admirable or not depends on your point of view.

I'm usually into yuri manga for the relationships rather than the individual characters
But this girl
My god, this girl
My heart has been stolen, but alas, it is only a one shot...

Isn't she charming? And she likes reading too!

She never talked to any dead people. She imagined all of it. Her crush acted "off" as she noted, because it was neither her nor her ghost, only wishful thinking.

Already completed or Abandon? Please tell me.

It's completed, unless the author decides to make a sequel.

I've read this lots of times already, but I'm happy it's uploaded here now.

Yes, incest laws are largely ridiculous in the modern world. Sexual abuse/rape/etc is covered by other laws anyway, so it really only affects consenting adults, which, I'd say, is nobody's business but their own.

Even the argument about children is shaky at best: there's plenty of genetic issues one can have that arguably are much worse and have a higher probability of popping up in your kids and nobody's outlawing those people from having kids.

Basically all feels fairly hypocritical.

What about the "grooming" argument that incestuous relationships, even between family members similar in age, are often the result of the older party pressuring the younger party all the way into adulthood? The best argument I've heard for incest laws is that they're a preventative measure against possible abuse by a parent or sibling. Considering the power family members have over each other, there might be some things still left to consider. (I think it's fine between consenting adults most of the time, so it shoudn't be illegal)

On a related note, I feel the stigma against cousin marriage is totally ridiculous and only exists due to misinformation about birth defect rates.

There are definitely other ones, they're just not labelled as such, or the reference is more subtle.

^She looks off because her bangs aren't feathered like usual. They're just cut straight across

Everybody who has ever worked has thought, "I'd rather be at home right now" while they were having a bad day. Calling a character a loser and and an asshole for their INNERMOST THOUGHTS while being yelled at by their boss is kinda silly.

Loser self-insert harems are super annoying. But no one is obligated to like their job, or their boss.

I'm pulling for Tachibana end. She was a little mean, but we at least we have an idea of why she likes Sako, unlike creepy possessive Kouhai.

Tsubomi isn't really against sibling relationships, she was just angry and hurt that Ayumu liked Sayo more than her while they were in a relationship.

Also the last lines reminded me of this:

This is the most ridiculous, most absurd, most outrageous manga I've ever read. Vampire rapes her sisters? Then the entire school? Then the entire school turns the tables and rapes her? Astonishing.

Happy to see Ayumu get a larger role, she and Haruka really seem to like each other and it makes me wish the sisters weren't written as soulmates from the first chapter.

This is bar none the nicest forum I've ever seen on the internet. I appreciate it a lot. I have pretty weak social skills and I'm silent most of the time, but luckily I'm into sports which makes 99% of guys into your friend instantly. (Doesn't help with making female friends in my experience)

I was only kidding, I don't think anyone should feel the fiction they enjoy is morally wrong.

I'm pretty surprised to hear that. You get along with this site's users much better than I do. I feel like making friends becomes super hard after school is done with, and it seems like dating sites can rattle even the soundest of egos; I quit all of them.

My sister's graduate school thesis was called "Sex with Ghosts"

Sarasa ended the relationship early so her girlfriend wouldn't spend the rest of her life grieving over her. MC understood this and respected her decision. I think they both did the best they could to preserve their partner's best interests, and the affair with the ghost might mean MC is finally ready to move on. Whether either party still should have been more selfish from the start is left to the reader's opinion.

Rain Spectre posted:

So it's the same reason why at least 50% of hentai includes rape?

Because, if that is the justification, what the fuck. I'm 100% fine with porn, but fetishizing actual crimes is kinda revolting, no matter the gender.

It's stupid, but this is my observation:

Het hentai: Men's chance to see women raped and humiliated by men.
Yaoi: Women's chance to see men raped and humiliated by men.
Yuri: Odd one out, less popular but what exists is girly romance.

Maybe people expect the rape as romance trope when there's a guy involved, but not when the characters are women.

Yaoi is literally just exploitative gay porn marketed to women. Unless you're fine with gross lesbian porn directed to men, you really shouldn't read it.

Actually, that raises a valid question. Why is there plenty of yuri material written by women for women, but literally all yaoi is catered to the female gaze, with literally no male writers involved period?

There's clearly demand among women to see guys in sexually humiliating situations, which most men understandably aren't interested in reading or drawing. The same demand seems not to be present from men (perhaps because they have enough of that sort of thing already in het porn) so that paradigm didn't catch on, and instead the yuri genre became shoujo-style romance, which appeals to women. The end result is that yaoi is super popular with women while yuri isn't all that popular among men.

I don't know if this is intentional, but to me Micchan and Ayane have more chemistry than Sacchan and Ayane. Also this is like the third chapter focusing on Micchan instead of the main couple, so the author must lack confidence that their relationship alone can carry the story.

The fans hit all of them out of the park. And so did Tamamusi.
