Ooh, Kawai rou Oshi and idol manga premise again
Popular girl with otaku habits, check
Idol with hidden personality...check
Man, the more i read the more similar this seems to gal and otaku

Feels kinda strange when I've read a yuri manga but then I find out I didn't read it here

TIL you can make scrambled eggs with a microwave

Maybe I'm used to web oneshots or short chapters or something, but that felt pretty long (in a good way). Kinda like the author could've split this into 3 chapters or something

Relaire with the same expressions on claire's head is so great

Oh man, i totally would've voted for the maid and the switch options (wish we got to see what it did tho), so I'm kinda glad they won

Wow, Kyouko was smooth

I'm fairly sure Kodama wrote in an afterword or something somewhere that she likes writing terrible people

Tbh when i saw the Height gap tag, i was expecting something like itou hachi

Seems pretty short compared to their previous works. Is this not a serialised manga?

Maybe the mom only says ugh and nn

That muscular cat reminded me of battle cats lol

Are aquarium dates really popular in Japan nowadays or something?

Oh man that credit page lmao

Feels like it's been a while since I'ce read a time travel where the person physically goes back. I wonder what her past self is up to?

Out of all my years reading Yuri I don't think I've seen the former idol plot beat "that" many times. At least not in Yuri specifically, so personally I'm fine with it. Also I think with how being an Idol is a big dream in Japan, and there's a often major problems with being an Idol, that a former Idol narrative makes sense for a Japanese series to have. Kind of reminds of the "American Dream" not working out type of narrative in American media. Both types of narratives are still relevant in current day.

There've been a few on Dynasty recently, so I can see how it would feel like a bit of an oversaturation currently. Plus a lot of them are the same kind of "I'm an idol or just recently stopped and also I just happen to be your/your friend's favorite and oh what a coincidence that we meet and now I'm inexplicably drawn to you." Big wish fulfillment vibes rather than just treating idol as a job one of them happens to have.

It's less dealing with the nuances of modern culture and more "my mom just sold me to One Direction"

Well I've been reading all Yuri coming out on Dynasty for awhile now, and somehow I'm not recalling many series with the narrative. So it at least doesn't feel oversaturated to me. However maybe I'm wrong and somehow the narrative is in every other recent Yuri series...I just missed it or completely forgot? Seems strange to me as my memory is pretty good haha

Also this series doesn't read like Wish Fulfillment to me. Life is full of funny little coincidences, and I don't think it's unrealistic. So too each their own, I'm going to keep reading and enjoying this series.

There was one former idol in If you could see love, but otherwise I don't really remember a lot of them

I think we're coming up on the ending of the first light novel. Don't know how far the manga will go though.

Wait there's a LN?

I think the manga will probably stop at ch 12 considering how rushed this feels :/
Shame I really enjoyed their dynamic

The LN's up to vol 5 now, so unless the manga's plot diverges or gets cancelled somehow it'll probably still keep going

Maho has the best expressions lol

The survival aspect kinda reminds me of Sounan desu ka

Maybe it's just me but it feels like a lot of series are ending recently

So...the end of the first volume? Nice to see the confession drama resolved in one chapter

On one hand, I'm glad there's progress, but on the other hand, I guess the series is over :(

Hmm, what an interesting conundrum! When does a friendship become yuri? Is handholding taking it too far?

Ngl I'm kinda interested in Samurai and Aliens

The dude is somehow both extremely observant and delusional at the same time
