Oh that's adorable. God I wish that was me.

btw does anyone else think the style looks a ton like Morinaga Milk? not a bad thing.

For sure, it's the same type of art 100%. The fashionable one before she stopped being fashionable kept reminding me of what's her face from The Princess Mirror.

Would anyone be willing to hook me up with some Takemiya Jin stories that are more lighthearted, or at least have happy endings? I quite enjoyed the ones from Love Stories Log (also still interested in any good yuri involving trans women or polyamory, as always)

The three–part story Game is very lighthearted.

Another I adore, with a light and frothy tone, is the diptych of stories, Kila Kila and Rin Rin. Delicate fantasy-fulfillment in this one, gentle humor and very appealing lead characters.

Thank you for the recs! 1 quick note, but diptych is used only for ancient materials placed on two hinged sections, usually art but sometimes writing. Either way, manga wouldn't qualify. It'd be more of a duology. (Diptych is an awesome word, I'm not correcting you just to correct you, I think that word is super cool, I knew it already and just want to make sure it's used properly because like... what a weird word. It actually comes from words meaning "folded in two" so it's only for things that connect in that way). Anyway, I've read Game before but it was nice to read it again, and I'm gonna try the other two now.

Edit: oh Kila Kila and Rin Rin were delightful, excellent, thank you.

I had no idea "chin-grab-kabedon" was a thing, even less that some fans favored it.

I'm so out of the loop.

I didn't either before this chapter. But now I know it's a thing and I favor it so...

Izumi needs like 4 girlfriends, she's too sexy for 1 girl to handle, tbh.

Kinda sad? But it does seem like she's well on her way to "that type" of like. Idk how I feel all told.

Oh I like being reminded of this one, one of my favorite yuri shorts of all time. I love cocky girls getting it turned around on them.

From Mangadex

no it has not been 3 years since this manga begun, its just a saying (that also has basis in psychology but thats irrelevant)
what she means is that saying it not that she loves her is weird because "after 3 years" love will fade away and "she won't love her anymore"

I see... I feel like there should be a note explaining that or something because it's not very evident.

Wait it's been 3 fucking years in-comic? damn I had no idea.

Cringe humor kills me, so that's gonna be a no for me probably. Damn, thanks though.

I read that chapter out of curiosity, is the whole manga that gay? It seems kinda interesting but also like it could drag a lot and it's so long I don't want to try and tackle it if there's not gonna be good payoff. Would anyone be willing to tell me the good points and what I can expect out of it?

My perspective on the jealousy thing is that it's often unhealthy and that it's usually rooted heavily in insecurity, and I think even monoamorous rather than polyamorous relationships have to get over it pretty hard and figure it out (to say nothing about polyamorous relationships, which is where my experience in this comes from, and why I have this perspective. My own jealousy and others'). So it's not immature, necessarily, but it is something you gotta grow from, and often leads to toxic relationships.

I know people aren't a fan and think it's too unrealistic and whatever, but I still like it. It's yuri 95% of the manga have stupid unreasonable plots. This might be a bit worse in that department than average but it's cute as fuck and the art and characters are pretty and nice. Also, my prediction is that she finds out she has a gf not a bf in the next few chapters, but that's not the end, and it's something about her family and their overprotectiveness that they have to get over. Maybe before that something with the friend who wanted boys who could crossdress.

Confusing? Just read the afterword. They’re in a relationship already. They’re lovers who probably out in a date and don’t want to let go of each other even though they’re only have to go on each of their own homes. This kinda sweet and sort of true for some people who just got being together. I like this, and the art is gorgeous even the pieces of scenes in panels, it’s good.

My confusion came from the mentions of another girl, which just kinda felt disjointed and like I was missing something, at first. It's not that confusing I was just left a bit reeling at the very start.

Yeah I thought the structure was novel, and that the way they legitimately had Shiramine/Kurosawa's development come partially from all the other relationships, and sometimes vice versa, was freaking genius.

Chapter 3 is somehow separated from chapter 2, there's no "next chapter" to get there.

Edit: I figured it out, it goes Ch3 > Ch1 > Ch2. It's the wrong order. But if you click on the manga page itself instead of the individual chapters, it's in the right order.

The story was a bit confusing at the start, I feel like it just cut in without the necessary bit first. Maybe translation missed some context or something? Anyway I still liked it a lot it was very sweet.

It says I'm limited to 8 per day, but it's a new day and it still won't let me. So is it 8 per 24 hours? Or does it refresh at a weird time. Thanks!

I'm wondering who are gonna confessed their feeling first?

My best guess is that the mute one keeps trying to confess her feelings and failing in some way while freaking out until the mind reader finally has to confess first to calm her down, with the way the manga has been going. Seems in character and the right tone.
