I'm hoping to see a skate.

Smooth as sandpaper on a gravel road.

I think I like the new couple more than the original. Natsuki's oblivious, accidental ladykilling is silly and endearing.

Chii's cognizant, calculated seduction has very slight tinges of coercion that make me just a bit uneasy.

I want to like this, but it just seems like a story of an incredibly delusional fantasy....more so than usual. Like this blonde chick is just so cool that its hard to get into it. Where's her weakness? Where the realism here? Maybe it's just me. I never cared for cool characters

It seems obvious that the story is just there to have the characters flirt and make out a bunch; it's softcore porn.

For the record, it's really, really well crafted softcore porn and I'm enjoying it.

I don't know if you commented that because you know, but that's the name of this image on Pixiv. lol

He knew. The image was sourced from Pixiv (click on the "Source" button at the top-right corner of the page).

How dare an author write a relaxed, lightly comedic story with minimal drama that explores open lesbian relationships and plays with romance and harem tropes in clever, amusing ways.

...But yeah. I get that it's a very niche thing and probably doesn't push the kinds of numbers large publishers are looking for. So it isn't surprising to see something like this get axed.

I prefer to think of it in a more positive light, and appreciate how far the story managed to go.

I think the point is that it was a failed romance. But that that wasn't the end of the world, and they eventually managed to build a less committed - but still positive - relationship between each other.

Most readers are used to narrative conclusions of the "happy romance" and "dramatic tragedy" binary, and they aren't quite sure where to place this. It's too far from the former to even consider it, so they automatically assume it's the latter.

But that ambivalence is what makes this story interesting. It isn't supposed to fit neatly into one box or the other.

Sensei is a goddamn hero.

Sometimes in manga I have trouble distinguishing textual indicators for what a character is thinking to themselves and what is actually being said out loud. In the first panel of the last page, is that transparent word balloon spoken aloud? (Of course, the teacher’s response strongly implies that it is.) If so, is that always the case with such see-through balloons, or is that a visual design choice?

I'm pretty sure it's just for emphasis. Clear bubbles are used several times earlier in this story, as well as the prequel. They vary between spoken dialogue and thoughts, but the constant is they're used to denote dramatic delivery.

Sensei really is adorable.

Ace Girl x Nymphomaniacal Lesbian

Let's invite someone named yuri for a sleepover... What could go wrong?

When yuri is involved, something's going right.

Ooh, I always wanted to see more original stuff from tmfly.

Komaki has feelings. They're just subtle.

She's very capable of rejecting things she finds objectionable. The fact that she continues to tolerate Shun's presence and advances says a lot, given her character.

Komaki has also shown a particular interest in Shun. Again, it's subtle.

We got a threesome now?

Foursome. You forgot about Yui.

I assume it's just a cheap, generic pretense to write about sex, a la women's prison porn.

@Darks0ulreaper Either start a forum thread or hop on the Dynasty IRC channel or Discord server and ask one of the moderators (Nezchan or drpepperfan) to have your Dynasty username changed.

I had mine changed awhile ago; all I needed to do was ask.

"I used to be a girl.

I still am one. But I used to be one, too."

^Some cultures yeah - but not Japanese. Sure they do have still a fairly strong belief from their past that is more prevalent than it should be that life revolves around a husband and pleasing /living for him - but not to the extent you are talking about. It is also less and less true the newer the generation. Mostly those sort of beliefs are driven by religious fundamentalism - where in Japan their hangups seem related to social traditions.

It isn't founded in religious doctrine, and it may manifest itself in the same exact ways, but that traditionalism is still there and has the same effect. Large parts of Japanese culture and media still like to push the idea that women don't/shouldn't enjoy sex, or that their enjoyment of sex is secondary to a man's.

You'd be surprised at how sheltered some people can be.

It can even go as far as certain cultures being bent on convincing girls that they don't have sex drives at all. There's a school of thought that claims sex = man and woman, penis in vagina ONLY; and then that the the act is purely for the enjoyment of the man. Given an upbringing of that nature, it isn't hard to see how some girls wouldn't understand how lesbian sex works (or that it's even a concept to begin with).

this is a bar

Whew, good thing the author left us that note. I don't think I would've been able to put things together on my own.

I keep going back to savor the pure, unadulterated cringe concentrated into Saya's face at the - ahem - climax of chapter 3.

The proportions seem fine; the only thing I can knock is that the heads are oversized in certain panels.

I like that Natsu is actually convincingly drawn as an older adult woman.
