Aaaah I really like this manga.

As for sex, well, everyone is different. I tend to meet a lot of women that are very casual about sex which is super frustrating because I'm not. We don't all have the same feeling/conception about sex. For some it's just a leisure or a playing thing ; for others it's an important act. I think the MCs just have different feelings about this. It's super common. (at least for me it is...)

same here, like sex has a deeper meaning for me

Yes, I get you both too. For me having sex is an act of getting closer to a person, so I don't want to do it too soon.
This manga feels very real in portraying those different views. I wonder where Miwa and Saeko will go wrong, though. Until now the relationship seems rather sweet and not like it might fail.

Uh, did photo-club-senpai have something to do with them breaking up?
Nene is pretty harsh, no matter what it is not nice to play with someones feelings like that. She could have just said: "I don't want to."

Well people are paranoid for a reason. there is just so much bad bait out there. And people will watch it in hopes of a good ending, because there is not many stories with lesbians to begin with. I used to do exactly that, but it's become too annoying for me.

I like me some genuinely good story with male (supporting & supportive) characters, too. Shame on the bad tropes.

You heard it here first guys. A het ending is a bad ending.

Seriously...

Well, I didn't mean it that way. But if you watched some tv shows, it mostly ends with cheating or rape, or pregnacy because of the cheating or someone dying or a FORCED het ending. I meant that as a bad ending. Should have clarified more.
It's just, if I see a cute couple I'd want them to have a "good ending", meaning them being together and being in an okay relationship instead of forced drama.

every harem ever, just as yuri. i rather wanted some of the situations play out, meh. -.-

And what do you mean, by "there is no competition."?

If no guys are around the perceived "main competition" to the love interest is eliminated. Just by the virtue that lesbians are much rarer than straight girls. Of course the amount of lesbians in yuri works is usually disproportionate to reality.
Naturally yuri revolves around lesbians first and foremost, so males do not pose any "threat" anyway, but as you can see many readers are rather paranoid and sensitive about that.

Well I like guys in yuri stories, They make the story feel real. Plus I like to see the guy lose. And, that one is as bad as it sounds. heteronormativity bores, and annoys me.

This is a great example of one of those "I like this so far but here's what's going to/should happen" series openings, where Dynasty should generate official betting boards for predicting future developments, with, I dunno, Yuri Points or something (gold lilies, maybe?) to the winners. Odds would change on the individual elements as the chapters come out:

  • Any love triangle: 5:2
  • Exes reunite: 2:1
  • Lizard girl + Camera-chan: 3:1
  • Any polyamory ending: 25:1
  • Sensei & Gecko: 500:1

Etc.

I'm loving this xD and you just created my ship: Sensei & Gecko. (well Everyone x Gecko^^)

I wanna see a story where the girl bully is SUPER tsundere and gay for the cute innocent girl she's bullying (partially because she hates seeing boys hitting on her)... And then, when she's in the process of bullying her, she finally looses it and flat out says "why won't you f*cking look at ME?"

Your dream got fulfilled pretty much. Read "Bully and Bullied"!

Even if Maekawa said, I'm kidding, Shimizu's reaction was very strong. Somebody is gonna be very conscious of each other in the next chapter. Can't wait!

Well shit! This is the exact same story I was making a comic about, before I even knew this existed. And it is similar even in detail. (bullying, superior worker, etc.) Is someone reading my mind? O.o
Okay, but my story was longer and my main character is a lot more bitchy. But still, noooooo my idea is not original anymore... D:

Not sure why every label we put on stuff has to be so stringent. She can be tomboyish and also cute, why not. Just as Toda can be cute but also kinda cool. That's what I took from the story, anyway.

Yeah, people tend to forget that Tomboy isn't just a look. Personalities or behavior can be tomboy too, especially in Japanese media.
Personally my favorite tomboys are those that look cute, but act "masculine". I don't think that is a contradiction, but it does work well with the gap effect.

Yes, exactly. And those are my favorite too!
In the end I got the feeling that Tado got a little more tomboyish, because she learnt that she likes to protect cute things. It was a total switching of roles. That is what I love about this oneshot the most.
People tend to tell you who you are meant to be. But fuck them, just be who you want to be. They won't be satisfied anyway, so better be happy yourself.
