2023 is the year of toxic yuri

lol maybe that's why I feel like I haven't been enjoying them lately, I'm in it for this one though, it's kinda interesting

so the message of the story is mermaid = gay

I've always loved this fanart lol

them not getting together is the terribly bad thing lol
oh well, you win some you lose some right? we'll always have lovely fanart to look at even if it doesn't end the way we hope

yeah I'm just scared that something terribly bad will happen because of the nature of what happens in these games... also considering there's only one ending planned (I think)

Came back here to say that I miss this art meme, I wish there was a susie x noelle version of it. I would make one if I actually had drawing skills lol, maybe it exists but I haven't seen it

I pray that Toby Fox will turn this one-sided crush into shared love

Narita has motion sickness confirmed

only OGs remember when Mona saved Fischl (and traveler) from Scaramouche

I don't think it's underdeveloped, I'm just not feeling the chemistry between them. Maybe that's what you're feeling? I suppose that's a given considering they haven't know each other for long, as you have said. I'm not particularly bothered by it yet, but I think the expectation of romance isn't too far fetched in a manga like this. Maybe this pair won't have romance at all and it'll just be subtext. Who knows? These two don't feel like a great pair, but they do seem like two people that have met each other to teach one another some different things.

ever since i've read you are my angela and by my side, i just ended up assuming that each of murasakino's pieces are metaphors but i just can't point out what's this supposed to mean.

but i'll never get tired of saying how much of a great storyteller they are :)

the metaphor is co-dependence

nah, I'm just kidding, I'm not smart enough to know what it is

Mitsuki is so real

this is sad but it would've been sadder if one of them lived and the other didn't

Short and sweet manga is always the best, you can tell a mangaka is good when they can make you feel more than satisfied by the end of it

reminds me of that one scene where Jim told Dwight that he had a hard time eating and sleeping when Pam and Roy officially set a date for their wedding

....this relationship is very unhealthy and I'm a bit uncomfortable with the fact that some of you think it's okay

One of them is poly and the other is clearly uncomfortable with that fact (and yes, it's okay to be uncomfortable with that because it's a personal preference), in what world would this end up nicely for Yuka?
Yeah, the point of the story was to show that love is not black and white, which is true, but Yuka has to keep hurting herself just to realize that?

I'm just going to imagine that Yuka broke up with her amicably and found herself someone that matches her needs, right now it's leaving a bad taste in my mouth

all I wanted was youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

wouldn't it be hilarious if the new character and Hinori became a couple before the other two couples actually become couples

Ouch, maybe Kanna will end up staying in Japan and get back together with Joe? This is definitely set up for Mitsuki to evaluate what's important to her right now, especially since she doesn't have any definite plans for the future

yikes, that was awkward

Also for people confused about the slap, this is how I interpreted it:
Ruriko is deeply in love with Kurumi, who she believes is actively looking for a man to marry for herself and eventually divorce her. The first part of the chapter shows us that she is really trying her hardest to try not to let her emotions "overflow." She is trying her hardest, while on the other hand, Kurumi kisses her on the cheek and I'm pretty sure was going for one on the lips after that. I suppose that the slap was Ruriko's defense mechanism. She's clearly setting up boundaries for herself, but Kurumi is actively trying to break them down, even though she's not even aware of it. The real kicker here is that Kurumi is drunk (though she definitely sobered up after that slap lol). We know that they both feel the same way about each other, but they don't know that. Ruriko is just extremely confused and reacted it in a bad way.

Personally, I think the way she acted was realistic. She's absolutely shocked at almost being kissed on the lips by someone she thinks she has unrequited feelings for.

The little creature that looks like Goomy from Pokemon reminds me of Rei's pet from I Favor the Villainess, not that I mind though, I could always get behind seeing more cute mystical creatures in yuri manga

The whole thing is also on this site

thank you so much, I didn't feel like downloading the whole series just to have a good translation lol

obviously Nana has her issues, but it does suck that her friend got so bent out of shape over her doing sex work

what a shitty friend

I don’t know if her friend is even aware of the sex work. She might just have seen the photos he downloaded and assumed Nana was sexting her boyfriend. She’s still a shitty friend for going behind her back like that, mind you.

her other friend implies that the jealous girlfriend knows that she's been doing sex work here

... and was recognised by the indonesian governement and banned lol

seriously? that just means we're a force to be reckoned with

(but I also feel sad for lgbtq+ people there)

^^^ They're already so cute without even having definite feelings for each other yet (especially when they danced with each other eeeeeee) that I don't know if I'll be able to take it
