I remember there being a mental illness themed anthology somewhere on this site and, while interesting, it was also a major downer. I imagine a drug themed one being similar. Then again, I would have said the same about alcohol, but this story was entirely my jam. I'm a real sucker for adult romance yuri, especially when the couple is just being cute at home or on a date.

Mental Illness themed anthology? Damn that sounds interesting, Do you happen to have the name of it? or any tags at least?

I know it's too late, but I think they meant this one, at least that's the only one I could think of.

I thought there were other ones that I cannot seem to find now. One is about a girl who loves to bite her gf and at the end of the doujin she overdo it and actually injure the other's ear. I believe it belongs in a collection. just don't remember which one

Yay, sad Banana strike again. Thanks translator, always love seeing more Starlight stuff translated!!

Does anyone know what is going on with this manga? It has been a while

Noooooo THE SERIES HAS ENDED. I am sobbing. They are such goals. Love this series, we need more clear communication and appreciation of small gesture in this society, which value romantic relationship so so much.

Ever since I read Bloom Into You as a teen, I very much identify with Yuu and Touko in their confusion about and dejection of the idea of love. It's not that I hate love and think it's below me, but the "love" I ever experienced and read about seems very conditional and does not make sense. After all this time of reading fiction, DSM-5, and random psychology self-help books, the love that these two (and the two in Crescent Moon and Doughnut) have is the kind that I can finally understand and desire. Love this author so much for putting this out in the world.

The big gestures like surprises, parties, celebrating birthdays (or holidays), swooping in to save their spouse from big bad dangerous things, etc, are very grande' and desirable when the person is stuck in their life and needs a fantasy to escape. But those happen so few times a year, gosh, the big bad things almost never gonna happen.

The seemingly small gestures like: Knowing your partner's triggers to create a safe space at home for both. Being able to communicate and listen to your partner's needs like in chapter 2. Whether they need some space when they are feeling overwhelmed, and how to able to help them/or simply leave them alone like in chapter 23. Or stupid things like preparing eggs or buying stuffs in a way that your partner prefers so that their day can be a bit less crappy in this economy like chapter 1 (you know like to take some more time to scramble some egg but you hate it to your core and only want sunny side up). Able to have time dedicated for each other, regardless of going out to do fun dates, or just snuggling with each other and knowing that both of you are safe. I JUST LOVE WHAT THEY HAVE GIMME SOMEEEEEE

Also, maybe I am ace, but I do not really see the appeal of having to have sex to prove your love. Like why would we care if they have sex or not, living in different rooms doesn't mean that sex is off-limited. And sleeping in the same bed is wildly uncomfortable if you have a different body temperature or your partner punches in their sleep...like sex is the only way to prove your love, it is simply a fun add-on to a relationship, no?

Idk they have so much respect for each other and I love them for that. Just gimme some of that peace, happiness, and peacefulness that they have lol

urg I miss themmmm

RIP author. Could not get over how good the author is at writing this story

Hell yeah, daily dose of depresso. I love this manga too much, their love is so calm TvT

Ohhhh it's nice that the manga show the gore but also left it to imagination. It was not as graphic in the LN. Always love this author depiction of gore and horror since the monkey in the train chapter, they give just enough info for stuff to be scary.

Gezzzz Ruriko living the dreammmmm. Next chapter is final chapter, I wish there is more of their domestic life TvT

They are hugginggggggg. Love idiot Nana so much, so powerful for such a small brain

Lol I am here for the train wreck and f up characters but why does every BDSM stuff have to be raped?? That's not even what BDSM is about. I just want a cool BDSM manga where they discuss before hand -,-

I am. So pround of themmmm. Let's go, have an official marriage and honeymoon chapter!!!

They married TvT
Would love to see their weding pic by the animator here

Sulleta is a needy groom :3

Chapter 30 should be a good time for a conversation, a confession, and maybe a kiss. They are such idiot couples, I adore them so much TvT

Argggggg a cute Junna Nana. My life is full now

Nanao chan is a monster now, how would Asumi handle her form now on :3
I appreciate the fact that Nanao just not licking Asumi after she said no, Nanao such a wholesome girlie

Why does every Utena fanart hit the feeling so harddd TvT

I get how Ruriko feels. She's convinced that Kurumi doesn't love her romantically, or in a special way. She's convinced she values their interaction more, that it's skewed and one-sided, and swore to take this to the grave. So being kissed by Kurumi, especially whilst the woman is drunk, feels callous. She's thinking "Oh no I'm taking this way to seriously and she's just doing this because she's whimsical and independent and feeling it in the moment but not actually deeply in love with me the way I do her." Her knee-jerk reaction to GTFO makes sense. Also like, regardless of how she feels about Kurumi, it makes sense to react negatively if someone sprang a kiss on you if you aren't ready for it, which Ruriko isn't cause she's yknow, unrequited requited gay yearning.

Love your analyis there. Hate how there is so many negative comment about these two. I am rooting for them so bad,they just need to actually confess TvT

Yessssss the plot is plotting. I would definitely accidentally slap my crush if this happen too, suck for Kurumi but I totally understand why Ruriko'd slapped her and run out of shame TvT

slightly ironic that nana of all people is championing junnas never giving up given what goes down in the movie lol but still cute

I mean, this happened before the movie where Junna still blazing and shining in Nana's eyes, Nana saying those words make sense. She said Junna were shinning in the movie after all this, somehow this make the movie lines hit harder TvT

Also, thanks for the translation. Always love a dose of healthy Junana!

The credit page TvT
I cannot wait until these two idiots actually confess to each other

I don't think they interact in the lore. Where does this ship come form lol

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh Asumi top!!!! And now she's gonna be topped by Nanaooo. DAMMIT THEY ARE SO CUTE

Mio and Prospera yelled at other people to let them make their own choices. And here they are doing the same thing to Suletta. Poor tanuki bring traumatized so much form the one she loves TvT

Not like Suletta knows about making her own decision even uf they asked her.

I mean... You are not wrong...

Hopfully someone (Earth house, other companies minions, no clue who to bet on) will be able to pull her out of it as all her trusted one betrayed her. She deserve hapiness TvT
