How Do We Relationship is probably the single best ongoing manga about lesbians out there, imo. The main other manga I can think of in the "about lesbians" category and competes in quality is Ayaka is In Love With Hiroko, and that's completed.
Totally worth paying to access How Do We Relationship's official translation imo :)

it’s free and easy to find LOL XD any one that knows websites like dynasty can find it easy the official translation

Just because you CAN access something for free doesn't mean you necessarily should. If you're an adult with an income you should support good art, especially things you personally love, so that more of it can get made.

And so the author can actually support themselves. Most of these authors, even with wildly popular series, aren't making much. For example, Inori (author of the very popular series "I'm in Love with the Villainess"). Multiple spin offs, books, anime and manga. Still, she's very open about her financial situations and they're never great. It's part of why authors overwork themselves, a subject Inori has also talked about. So support when possible is great.

Poor Lilly is clearly completely misreading the situation. :D

Yup, the poor girl still hasn't noticed that Rae is exclusively claireromantic and clairesexual. :-(

Rae explicitly calls herself a lesbian, even if she is in love with Claire they've made a real clear point to say that's not the start and end of her sexuality, that's also why they told the story of her first love before getting isekai'd. Lily does theoretically have a chance, but it would require Rae and Claire breaking up in some definitive way and that's unlikely... probably.

She's really got no chance, breakup or not. I also think the previous poster knows she's lesbian but Rae has been just as clear that she only wants Claire and doesn't even consider anyone else, so the Clairesexual is probably a joke. That's a whole (hilarious but serious) chunk of her personality.

We still haven't gotten to the title's promise of a love "triangle" since we have a couple and another person liking the one of them one-sidedly.

I agree except there's a good number of people who think what you've described is a love triangle (which I disagree with). So, it depends on whether the author considers unrequited love, a love triangle. Some of these "love triangles" are just 2 people genuinely working towards a relationship and a third outsider trying to unsuccessfully weasel their way in, causing issues every now and then.

ADHS?

Maybe ADHD, just a different acronym?

Indeed. That's the acronym we use in German. Bc Disorder = Störung.

Here, (the states) it seems some people refer to it as a syndrome as well--so there's that "S," too.

What exactly does Kyou still want to talk about lol. "Decide together" my ass, she doesn't give a shit about you. This dude should disappear already. I will be mad if somehow author decides they could reconcile for more drama, lmao. Like, instead of taking an easy way out and remove him from the story after what happened last chapter, author just makes him even worse and we still have to endure the existence of this guy lol.

And sometimes I wish Fuyuki could be selfish. Her no-boundary selflessness actually makes me tired.

The story is about the 3 of them, so he'll be here no matter what. I think its fine to develop his character just like the other two. I do agree that their getting back together would be absurd though.

Thanks so much! This series is in line with Mira's others in that it's "wholesome" despite whatever the subject material might be. I agree about how specific she's been with portraying the BDSM. It's been very loving and respectful, constantly reassessing boundaries and regretting mistakes.

The chapter where Sarasa confidently declared herself Mio's dom was great. Reminds me of Sunstone at times, which is funny. Really enjoy both couples, even if the little sister is fighting her lover at the moment. They all need to confess already. They've skipped over every other step.

I see where this is going.

Probably to introduce her to the brothel or something like that.

I'm curious what's left, this could have been the final chapter.

We need something to wrap a bow on the two main relationships. This chapter was focused on wrapping up the idol issue.

Was it hinted somewhere how the manager was able to track down Io? It'd be like looking for a needle in a haystack trying to find one person in Shinjuku at night so I'm wondering if she used some sort of tracking.
Omg she's so creepy though. Got a bit of a jump scare by page 22: https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/a_face_you_shouldnt_show_ch06#22

Aint no way someone who gave themselves keys to my place is "popping in" whenever they see fit. The first time she did that, MC should have said something about privacy. Then in the middle of masturbating? No way.

Agreed. But to be fair it tracks with what we've seen of Io's character that she wouldn't say anything about it. Girl is a total pushover who needs to learn to stick up for herself.

Oh for sure. Everyone has a limit though, and "in the middle of touching myself," should be a universal "ok we need to talk."

Series where both protagonists start aware and/or outed are really rare indeed

Only somewhat rare in manga. In Korean and Chinese series it's mostly the opposite in my experience. Less school stuff, more older characters, more aware of themselves. I think if OP is looking for these kinds of characters they could read more of those series.

I'm assuming they mean women who are clear about being lesbian, use that language, and don't say things like "I love you for you." I thought they meant stories where the characters are openly gay and will say that. I think there was a conversation about this in the "Whisper Me a Love Song" thread recently.

Yeah that's what I'm assuming OP is talking about but I was asking Rainbow8 specifically about "Do you want lesbians or WLW?", which makes "lesbian" and "WLW" distinct terms with different definitions.

Yeah, I caught that. I guess for them they see a distinction.

I'm assuming they mean women who are clear about being lesbian, are involved in the community, use that language, and don't say things like "I love you for you," or "it doesn't matter who you are." I thought they meant stories where the characters are openly gay and will say that explicitly. There was a recent conversation about this in the "Whisper Me a Love Song" thread about how a good amount of yuri manga will avoid direct language and such. Those examples they showed seemed to be about that. Maybe I interpreted the intent wrong though.

  • Ayaka, from "Ayaka is in love with Hiroko." Some others from that series too.
  • Akari, from "Even Though We're Adults"
  • All the women from "Straight Girl Trap"
  • Same from "How do we Relationship"

Definitely, a lot more but those are the first few that popped up immediately.

so while it's not explicit the ending slides do seem to pair up the witch and hero, and the princess and priestess. Which does work, though of course would have been nice if the story got to actually do something with that.

Honestly pairing the side girls for no reason without any build up or context makes 0 sense. It also showcases how inexperienced the author is at writing. The story was doomed from the start by allowing viewers to pick the outcome. It limited to author's ability to tell a story. Hopefully they use this as a learning experience and come back with a better story some day.

None of those epilogues said anyone was paired up. Actually, each write up has them all doing their own thing, except for the Maid and Demon King. They listed them in pairs but that doesn't imply a relationship. The maid was listed on her own but she's not single. She's just the 5th.

From here the MC has two choices
A: Induct Sakiko into the harem
B: Allow Michi to be NTR'd away

I'm getting the feeling the author enjoys making Michi the victim of a little "light-hearted" NTR.

Is it really NTR if the other woman really really doesn't want her anyway? Seems like it's just a one-sided thing and according to Mirai, she was running from a forced arranged marriage situation that was pushed by her mom. Knowing that, I don't count Michi as her fiance. It's all silly anyway.

She's framed as super mature and competent compared to Makino

Uhh, have we been seeing the same Mashiro? She's somewhat irresponsible and takes on too much responsibility for herself. Seems par for the course for our Mashiro.

She's not perfect but who is, right? I'd definitely say she's mature and competent, especially compared to everyone else in this series. She's more mature, understanding and competent than a lot of people I know. Easily the most "chill" character in the series.

It's not even an ending lol. For the majority of the chapter, there is plot hooks and developments as if this was just a normal, monthly chapter. The last 3 pages feel like they were hastily stapled on to this chapter to slap a fin on a story that didn't reach any conclusion.

That's exactly what it was. This feels no better than if it had ended last chapter. And they had easy opportunities to try and put a bow on things.

Why not have the teacher just outright reject Mizuki? We know that's where it's going anyway. Mizuki could have left, consoled by her friend. The end. Instead we have this "she technically didn't say no yet," non-ending, as though there's more chapters coming. (The "technically she didn't say no," trope is annoying anyway, so I'm sort of glad that was avoided.)

It's not like we don't know who the main couple is. Then we have the actual kiss, blush and promise of a future for the main couple, which makes it even more silly not to edit in that rejection. Weird all around. Feels like they just changed the last 2-3 pages to end it and washed their hands. Even a time skip would have been better.
