excellent yurry

now i'm imagining this picture but shaggy is hanging out

yeah it's not a big change. she already went along with every new hobby anyway, and getting a haircut and new outfit that the person you're into will like is hardly abnormal. the big change is acting more assertively.

new robot? neat.

... oh god, getting it to max potential is going to be such a pain

THIS IS A LESBIAN TO SURPASS SENPAI GEAR

Toda dancing so happily gives me life.

Ngl the throwing up scenes worry me because I have no clue just what exactly Toda San is depicting in her stories. Like is what she's writing close to charactersnbeing sexually assaulted or am I missing something

It looks like there was consent initially, but was perhaps withdrawn partway through and the guy kept going anyways. Panel on page 2 has the guy pinning her down and she's saying "Stop." So yeah, rape seems to be on the money.

That said, I don't think it's the lack of consent that caused the reaction in Tanaka. Rape is prevalent in eromanga and as an editor I'm sure Tanaka has been exposed to that and worse stuff. It's just that she deeply cares for this character because it resonates with her. Vomiting is extreme, but having visceral reactions for fictional characters is not unheard of.

Tanaka is explicit that her love for comics comes from how they inspired and uplifted her, so possibly she has some trouble processing a comic that makes her feel despair. it's as you say unlikely to be the first time she's exposed to comics with negative events or emotions but this might be the first time she's really FEELING it.

it aint yatsude that got the awks-a-lot here, yokoe

Ollie is the universe's way of balancing out all the repressed lesbians

At this point, I am startig to wonder whether Toda has been taken advantage of because of her disability and sexually abused as a child. I am not sure how else an 18-year-old would be able to depict rape so vividly and life-like as to make a person puke.

i don't think that's the angle they're going for here, since it's a story about two people having sex for the first time. and consensually! but where the girl finds out that she may not have been as ready as the boy and that frightens her.

it's more about the complexity and pitfalls of relationships and developing sexual experience than it is about surviving rape

the title sounds like a 6yo trying to write a dirty joke

haha is it weird to say i shed a tear this chapter theyre just cutting each others hair and dyeing it ugh this series is so gay without ever being gay

it's so filled with love

shima holding her hair and being so, so happy that ise cut it is the sweetest thing i've seen in months

Can someone explain why piles of porn mags in grass is a trope in manga?

every culture has their version of forest porn

Not to get my hopes up too much, but I swear to god after years of saying Sasameki Koto was one of the few works to really appeal to me as a butch (trans) woman, if Ikeda gives me a gay trans woman in a manga with a really healthy sapphic age gap couple I will buy him several hundred dollars worth of alcohol if he wanted.

Tbh with regards to Kita I don't even see the whole 'mistaken as a stalker' thing as negative, like, yeah they pushed boundaries a bit with how they returned that umbrella, but like awkward possibly trans girl with no one to really talk to about it suddenly sees someone they think Gots What They Want I can kinda get suspend my disbelief enough to not mind it at all.

also, the awkward behaviour makes the misunderstanding a lot more embarrassing

this is that good mess

it's a carpenter's saw

the past chapters have been such a delight

the crux is that two women together when one or more of them don't like women isn't actually gay

nobody contests that there are women involved, merely what their tastes might be

especially considering that the relationship was started on half-hearted feelings and not real mutual attraction

I demand this evil misunderstanding to be cleared IMMEDIATELY.

I think it pretty much will. If anything, I'd bet this will be used to get her past her old trauma, bringing us to a new place where it'll be easier to get past the, um, worker-client relationship.

idk about getting past the trauma just yet but i suspect that this reminding her of being abandoned by someone important might make some things click into place regarding what amano is beginning to mean to her

MY FAVOURITE IDOL HAS QUIT??! * walks up to & stares her dead in the eyes* let's make fuck

witches and apprentice, witch and nun, witch and maid, now witch and cat

what's next? witch and crow? witch and enchantress? actually that one is pretty easy, you just have the down-to-earth little witch meet a big fancy nervous enchantress

pekora with her hair down is always such a treat

i swear the author is drawing nishi looking more fucked up with every chapter

i do appreciate how she just made out with those titties

i don’t give a shit anymore whether or not they’re platonic… all i know is … when them together make happy .. make wide smile … joy

they're so good for each other

Okay...this is probably not going to be an well accepted opinion... but I don't get the hype about Catradora. I have started watching She-ra and have watched up to season 3, all I have never really shipped them? I also don't get why people like Catra cause all she's done till now is outright despicable and she is officially the character I dislike the most. I just can't ship her with anyone, let alone Adora because the repulsion I feel towards her. Damn, I somehow dislike Hordak and Shadow Weaver less than her. I'm just so fed up with her character that I feel like I can't gain any sympathy for her even if she has some sort of redemption arc later. Funny cause I started watching this show because I heard of Catradora, now I have ZERO interest in the ship but the plot has got me hooked. Idk man, let's see if my opinions change about the ship later. Thanks for listening to my rant I guess.

people like Catra because she sucks, not despite it. she makes for good television but not good companionship.
