Is the couple tag needed though? Kasumi is just saying Sumire is pretty (which she is)

it's more comedy than a ship tbh.

I don't like how ominous that was. Is she gonna turn into a mindless human-eating monster at some point or some shit?

wait seriously LL wasn't made for young girls? I watched it 4th grade and the fandom in my country was mostly girls.

@juanelric: you might not know this but children whose hormones haven't kicked in yet don't particular think too much about those actions. I just thought it was something that close friends do to each other since I also messed around and was overall touchy with my friends in elementary school.

was a tad bit confused at first but I get it now and it's so cute!!! For Michiru to find Nagi after that, isn't it kinda like fate!

... okay after four pages of comments I now see the significance of the zodiac theme - it's an easy hook to get people to try to identify with characters and talk about it :P
I was never into the horoscope stuff even as a pure dumb fun, maybe because I always saw conflicting information about which zodiac sign I actually am (some sources differ by a day and I happen to be born on the boundary).

Also a boundary person here. I’m having trouble getting into this one since I have only the vaguest sense of what the personalities of the various zodiac signs are supposed to be. (As others have said, they’re so generally stated that almost anyone can recognize something of themselves in any description.)

Canno’s art is always solid, though.

just treat it as a manga with cute girls doing cute things. I honestly know nearly nothing about horoscope - hell I can't even remember all of the names. Still love this though.

@Mendet15: Love Live started as a series for young girls I believe, kinda like Aikatsu, but a bit more mature/realistic. I remember back when the fandom barely has any male fans lol, granted it was still small back then.

wait I thought Flammetta is shipped with Exu's sister more?

^ yes omg

Rather than calling 'em acephobic, you should just try to kindly explain to them why they're wrong and educate 'em. Chances are, they are not a bigot but just ignorant, and could just use some educating on the subject. It's far better than jumping to conclusions and taking a more hostile approach, honestly.

yeah say it louder!!

Gotta say I was surprised by how supportive Rio was, not so surprised about the little sister though.

you know, I've read plenty of lame, braindead oneshot and series as long as they contain yuri, but this might just be the most braindead of them all.

Ignoring the fact that this just disregards everything about time travel logic, the series is plain dumb from the characterization. Seriously this girl went back in time and date a minor and people don't mind it? Honestly it's weird and dumb as hell.
I doubt anyone who's adult in here would feel the slightest romantic feeling for their middle school/high school crush if they went back in time in adult form.

Also the chapter which she revealed she's from the future is legit the dumbest thing I've ever seen and read. The reactions aren't even realistic!

And while I don't want to talk about this because it's clear that the logic of the story is in the negative, but how on earth did she adapt to living in the past? Did she sleep at the school, what about eating, bathing, etc? Also did people not find her identity card odd, considering that it's been 10 years and it's changed considerably since then?

The only good point for this series is the "ecchi" scenes tbh. It's art ain't even great though. Honestly the only reason people still like and tolerate this incredibly stupid story is the yuri. Imagine if the MC was a boy, yikes, this would go up in flame within the first chapter.

Also why the hell does this have a 8.48 point in Mangadex???

lolol what's with the Hibiki sisters, they're so cuteeeeeeeee!!!!!

Also I agree, there needs to be a sequel about their future life in which Suzuka goes against her family and points out their bullshit. Hell she can even be disowned too and then reunite with her sister!

lol omg I want a big sister like Hibiki! Her sister is indeed very cute though!!

And damn, someone's gonna be beat up by Hibiki soon lol.

also wow there's still people being new to manga terms huh, I really didn't think that's possible.

@TheEternalShade: Other than that one hangup on terminology, chapter 1 isn't bad; but I'll need to see more before I know if I'm in or not.

this is just a two-shot, not a series.

thank you for another chapter!

But seriously, new character in a critical moment to solve a crisis? What is this, Naruto?

wow. I thought I couldn't hate Shiho more but she went and did that. Seriously what's her fucking deal? I don't give a fuck if she has a tragic past, nothing would excuse acting like a bitch like this.

Also yes they kissed!!! That was so cute.

Next chapter seem like something that would focus mostly on them, which means little to none Shiho and I love that.

Coming from the latest chapter upload on MD, here's the thing about Shiho. I'm sure she'll have some tragic backstory and everyone will be friends and it will all make sense (as far as the author is concerned), but what ticks me off about her is not that she's belligerent, it's that she's so needlessly petty. It's not about her being unlikeable, or manipulative, or wanting to get in between them. I like plenty of characters in other manga like that, particularly the manipulative ones. What I can't stand about Shiho is that she's being cruel for no reason at all.

This latest chapter, even just that brief conversation at the festival is so completely unnecessary. To go out of your way to try to ruin someone else's date is so petty and small and lacking in empathy that I just don't think whatever backstory comes out of this will matter. She's cruel, and cruelty doesn't just go away because you had reasons. She's the most toxic person in this manga, and it completely alters the tone of the first half of the story just because it helps drag things out and delays moments like the kiss. And it would be one thing if the author expected me to care about Shiho and I end up not doing so, but as soon as everyone else forgives her and embraces her I'm just going to think less of all of the characters.

+1. I honestly don't see anything that would possibly make Shiho's actions acceptable tbh, I hope that she lose and the story move on without giving her redemption arc.

LGBTQ matters don't "logically" happen the most because of trauma or unsatisfaction in real life.

Don't ever equate a biased sample of manga with real life. Yuri is not real life. It is a genre convention with tropes both wholesome and not. Which gets to a larger point of don't ever blindly equate fiction with real life. If you want to know how real lesbians or bisexuals find out about things or live their lives, then go read their interviews and stories and you know, talk to real people.

and

I hope Akiyama twists these women into pretzels. I hope she lights them on fire. I hope she warps the concept of marriage so profoundly that 'Here Comes the Bride' is henceforth played only at funerals and every mention of matrimony in any form of media mandates a content warning. I have faith in the mind that produced Octave.

I really wish Dynasty scans had a like button or something to express just how much I agree with both of you guys lol.

this is gonna be full of drama and I will love it all the way!!

Seriously though, this is like a car crash that you know will happen but you can't stop it and can't look away from it. I wonder why I like this kind of story so much.

wow

So one more chapter to go before the story starts for real?

uh not sure what you mean here? It already started. The manga revolves around their lives, there's no epic story if you're waiting for that.

this could have been canon if authors weren't cowards, we could-ve had it all ç-ç

That is so wrong. The main series (Index) already had Mikoto crushing on Touma. Only when the series got expanded and Railgun became a thing did Mikoto and Kuroko get more development. Also if you watch the anime, you can clearly see that Mikoto just treasure Kuroko as a friend.

Creators of Japanese media being too afraid to please anyone other than male fans who might have crushes on the female characters? Umpossible.

Also a bad take imo. To aru series began as a shounen (male audience is the main target) with harem as its subgenre back in 2004 (the novel)/2007 (the manga). There were a low amount of fan who were females and even less fans who were queer back then. Especially for a fighting series like this with enormous worldbuilding, it had mostly male fans. Of course it should target and please the only audience it had.

Also while I hate ToumaMikoto, I don't hate or think Touma deserved to be hated. He truly had one of saddest fate in the fictional world tbh.

I love how Kanon, Chisato and Ren are just "uhhhhh" and not knowing whether or not to ask them about their relationship lol

oooh, you don't see this ship everyday...

This ship is actually one of the largest in Superstar!! along with ChisaKanon and KekeSumire and KanonKeke.

uwah, how rare, a chapter about Mariri and Mayuyu!

These two are lowkey my favorites. Everytime they interact Mariri is always teasing Mayuyu lol.

This is not entirely lore-accurate as Kroos were the leader for the three of them (Fang, Kroos, Beagle) before they came to Rhodes Island. Fang is more likely to depend on Kroos, not the other way round.

Anw, knowing what happened to their team makes this not so happy anymore :(

Rio will either be the 3rd person for the love triangle, or be the supportive gay ally. I'm leaning more onto the first one.

Also that guy so far annoys me. Here's to hoping he gets better later.

wow

also I just noticed that every doujins about this pairing so far is from this artist. How dedicated.
