Yuuki was the most interesting character here, love her for being a fellow ntr enjoyer

I am disillusioned to be honest I was expecting a hot mess but it was more comedy oriented

isn’t this just the yuri version of “super attractive perfect girl ends up with antisocial loner whose sole redeeming quality is that they are somehow the first person to ever show basic kindness to the girl”

More than the yuri version this is quite the common plot in romance manga, “the incredible perfect beauty has never be seen as her true self” because they are so beautiful and perfect that no one has ever show them real friendship, just admiration, etc.

I need to get this out of my chest but whyyyyyy japanese yuri always skip the sex, whyyyyyyy

Is rushed and all that but its a one-shot so it makes sense, what I don’t agree is that this is a poisonous fucked-up self-loathing lesbian story, is 100% wholesome. The way her circumstances were show felt the same as when an author wants to kill a character but want you to feel bad for them so out of nowhere you get a full chapter about their sad childhood

I like the guy friend well enough as a character, but does he really have to be more of a main character than the girlfriend?

I will mention on this point that this manga is more so about Himeno and her interactions with the people in her life (there are more characters later on besides Hajime) rather than just strictly being about her and Yoru's love life, if that wasn't clear already.

Granted, even when she's talking to someone else about some other topic it often wraps back around to being about Yoru in some way so...

There are multiple chapters about Yoru and/or the two together though (reminder we got 82 chapters to go)

I think part of why Hajime is so prominently featured too is that the author is primarily a BL writer, and Hajime actually existed in their doujins before Himeno came into existence, so he's sort of a foundational character for this universe. There's even an entire BL manga set in this same universe that's just about him where Himeno is just a small side character. So that's why I think the author wanted him to have an important role in this manga, as Hajime is clearly a dear character to the author.

But yeah I wanted to mention all this so people don't have the wrong expectations. You should consider this more of a slice of life kind of thing where romance is a bit more secondary (though it still plays a major role at multiple points)

I just saw this comment but the author is not primarily a BL writer, she doesn’t have much mangas (but all of them are romance) her first work was this (2021) and then she used Hajime and realesed a spin-off (2022) and her lastest work is a het romance (2024)

toxic yuri’s fine, but wholesome yuri’s better!

I’m assuming the artist is on their lapidot arc rn (I hope and pray there’s a bunch of work) which makes sense cuz in the show, Jasper and Lapis met first before Lapis met Periodot…

90% sure at least, it’s been a while

Anyways, I like this ship, wish we saw more of them

This doujinshi is from 2018…

At first I was happy because I thought it was going to be ntr, then it went for the “we are both girls so it doesn't count” and was no longer happy but then it didn't end in ntr. Awesome

It is indeed cute and wholesome but can u really count this as yuri? It seems to lean more toward subtlety than yuri. The characters are not in love, and there dont seem to be explicit sexual attraction between them.

Kiyoko Iwami drew a oneshot of 20 pages where a college girl gropes a high school girl's boobs and makes her let out a moan. Within an hour of meeting her for the first time. But sure, nothing gay happened here.

I know what you mean but even if it sounds too fictional, it is true that is normal for girls-women in japan touch each other boobs as if it was nothing. I know big boob girls that got asked “Oh yours are big can I touch them?”

Nooo, I wish she would have vomited in her chest. Yuri lacks real weirdness

As someone who doesn't have a vomit fetish I am very glad she didn't throw up.

I mean she tried to follow up on that with something sexy, I'm sure most people would've just killed the mood

This seems like a good time to link the most wholesome yuri of all time:

I love that one

"This yuri lacks real weirdness" considering it's from Iwami Kiyoko. If you're familiar with their work, like Ano Lemon Kajitte, you’d expect something bizarre or just plan weird, since they often lean into unusual or unique concepts. That said, compared to most yuri, this still ends up being pretty weird (and also pretty cute imo) :)

I think is a little funny that every time someone express some sort of dissatisfaction about (a) yuri someone always jump to say “you haven’t read enough” “you are being unfair with the genre” or whatever. I know the author and I use tags, I keep what I say. Yuri need more weirdness, more vomit and menstrual blood.

sigh.. comments already killing the fun.
it is not forced, SA, etc. but it’s definitely an adult taking advantage of a child's curiosity. reason why it is an excellent one-shot, because nothing “bad” is happening but you know that “something” is not right either

i call her a child because being of age in Joseon’s era means that she is 15 years old

I love it but idk man I wouldn’t complain if there was more sex and not just sexy intimacy in my yuri, like instead of the beach I would have love to see them fucking

I am intrigued, but also… I think "MC with social anxiety/some type of complex meets person who even thought is beautiful/perfect also has problems" formula has been used too much lately when telling stories(yuri) with adult characters

Both of them are in the cover so I’m sure they will end up together, I don’t think anything real bad will happen either

Oh, this reminds me of a controversy that I read a few years ago about a Chinese actress, she did all that Yuri Biz and yuri dramas, she ended up being homophobic lol

mmm Idk if its a self insert because after Run away with me, Girl! she had two successful series; And Then the Heroines Are Gone (ongoing) and Annoying and Cunning Sisters (finished). But neither are yuri, in fact Battan has never worked in a yuri magazine, mostly josei and seinen, so I think she just has a slow but constant rhythm for work.

plus My Sister's Friend was published during Run away with me, Girl! was ongoing and that’s is very good

I'm pretty sure the main character doesn't actually know what NTR means.

Nene and the guy don’t have to be a relationship for it to be ntr.

NTR is whatever a person wants it to be.

Evidently.

No but NTR it is not only about cheating, but also about stealing and the feeling of betrayal that comes from it. You can find NTR doujinshis about a boy who finds out that the girl he likes (they are not dating) is sleeping with his brother. Either way, this manga is closer to netori than anything else

But we don't even know the boy in this story and nothing suggests he likes anyone. No one is being taken from anybody.

Yes I know, that’s why at the end of my comment I said “if anything this manga is closer to netori”
I don’t think this manga its ntr or netori, but the comment was about what is and isn’t NTR, and it is true that they do not always have to be a couple for it to be NTR

I'm pretty sure the main character doesn't actually know what NTR means.

Sadly a lot of toxic yuri is not of my liking, but I like Tsutsui Itsuki so I’m going to keep an eye on this one! I really like that the suicidal girl has this yūrei appearance

Yes, it was obvious that it was her!
Now that someone mentioned Boys Gilding the Lily Shall Die? It is fun how the reaction to any yuri that breaks the common formula is always the same. Especially because the discourse began quite early too, two chapters and people were already losing their minds. In this neither Kaede nor Nami are with a man and still caused the same reaction.

I think it’s awesome to have a yuri that doesn’t focus on the romance between the two leads.

In addition, at least for me, I think that much of what people call "toxic" between Nami and Kaede is simply, lack of communication in a adult relationship, I know that people hate that trope or find it unrealistic, but I completely disagree.

I also need to say that I really liked Nami’s ‘I’ll be leaving you otherwise’ lol I know it was brutal but there so much more than romance in life, especially adult life.

I explained it in the comment above yours! No need to take it seriously because it’s a “Wouldn't it be fun if” type of comment
It's just that those are the only two options I can think about why Yoru feels "incapable" to reciprocate Hime's affection

Sorry, I didn't see it ^^

I'm sorry, but it's just that Yoru does not seem upset by Hime-chan's unhealthy needs, rather she seems sad for being ‘unable’ to respond with the same intensity as Hime-chan

Respond to the same intensity doesn't mean what you said before, maybe they aren't compatible or something. Well, there are cases that it is the reason, but I think Hime-chan is just really intense and Yoru isn't. At least that's what I think.

Yep, I get your point but it was a joke, that’s why I added the lol at the end. I was thinking about that meme with the lesbian who continues to make their partners realize that they are trans men

I have a feeling Yoru is going to 1) come out as a trans man and they are going to break up or 2) come out as ace and they are going to break up lol

Uh... How do you think that?? Because there's nothing in this manga that indicates either of these.

And I love Hime-chan and her dramas lol.

They think because Yoru is drawn with a guyish appearance they can't possibly be intended to be an actual girl. It's just shallow appearance standards and gender conformity bullshit.

Or they're trolling. One or the other.

I know people online love to inmediately paint the other party as a bad person to win the argument but if you take the time to read my previous comments you can see why I said that. Also, you and I are strangers, please refrain from making assumptions about me.
