i just love this couple.

after Shiho asked Akari if she loved her, I kind of thought Shiho would suggest they move in together especially after the pause in the conversation. it didn't happen. that's a shame, but hopefully their relationship progresses to that point and soon.

soooo cute and yay! it's more than one chapter.

I was trying to think tree related puns too but my efforts were fruitless

I love and hate you both at the same time

but you have to admit that both comments will stick with you for the rest of the day.

I see potential in this. It really deserves a sequel or full fledged series.

a sequel maybe, but I'm not sure a full fledged series would make an impact. Kamiura-san isn't trying to fall in love with Sasagawa, so it's not like there would be much of a story there other than them meeting up to have sex or their normal daily interactions, and that would get boring after a chapter or two.

Excellent stuff, but needed more backstory of them.

yes! yes! and yes! if not a backstory then i'd love to have a continuation where the "puppy" either learns that her "dog" is a hit man or we find out that the "puppy" was sent to put the dog out of her misery.

love the art and so far the story isn't sickly sweet. ok. i'm hooked.

idk. this whole oneshot is beyond toxic. on one hand, it's interesting watching these two continue idiotically down their toxic path, but on the other hand, it leaves a slightly bitter taste as you watch the sadistic, selfish and manipulative behaviors of each girl. that said, i'd be great is there was a sequel to this oneshot.

Why are people acting like this is the end of the story?

TBF, this story could end on this chapter and it wouldn't be a bad ending. plus it just kinda feels like an ending. makes you wonder if the last chapter will be a time skip than a chapter that wraps up all the loose ends.

there seems to be a disconnect between chapters 1 and 2. Nozomi's recollection in chapter 1 is very different from that in chapter 2. i cannot tell if the two chapters are based on two different events or the same event that the authors reworked. i think it is going to take an additional chapter or two to make sense of the mismatch.

I just finished ch. 145. my only reaction? NoOoOOOooooOOOOoooOOOOooooo!

the problem with binge reading is unless it's a complete series, once you come to the end of material, you're left with an empty void and bunch of whys? (why did it have to cut off right there?) at least until a metric ton of replacements forces you to forget about it and move one. then the vicious cycle starts all over.

i'm kinda sad the second chp. was only 2 pages. hopefully as this little beaut continues, it gains a few more pages with each release.

man, oh man. first Shy, now Semelparous. this is a real treat. TBH, i don't care if this contains any yuri. the story so far is damn good. when we do get to the yuri parts, i kinda hope it's used to accent the main story instead of being the focus of the story.

I think the name of the anthology is self explanatory

I hadn't paid attention that this and the other oneshots were part of an anthology or what the anthology's name was. thanks for pointing it out because before I had read your comment, I kept thinking what's with all the creepy, rapey shit that was being posted to the reader? now with all things considered... uuuum.

April fools guys

it took me a couple of pages to realize this was an April Fool's Day spoof because maybe (and i was being generous) these two were oblivious that their "friendship" was really them dating.

BTW, is this a "real" oneshot that was appropriated for this AFD joke, and if so, when will the actual oneshot be posted, or is this the real deal and was translated as-is?

OK. friend goals?

Also I realize Sango is happy-go-lucky and Ayame's childhood friend, but i'm trying to figure out if Sango is really an airhead or just playing the part of one because she either ditz'd her way into having sex with Ayame or played it off extra smooth.

for some reason, I think Nao would do really well living in a nudist colony. she could bare her true self without shame.

Ugh! The useless lesbian, Nanaki, is lying to herself, but at least she told the truth to Izumi. Hopefully Izumi realizes that Nanaki doesn't realize her feelings/is lying to herself and Izumi helps Nanaki embrace her true feelings for Kurokawa.

I am having a difficult time trying to imagine how Sakuma is saying "normal" such that it caused all those patrons to blush and think that was "nice".

IDK. What Fuuka's neighbors are doing to her could be considered cruel and unusual punishment. it's a good thing Fuuka is too dense and a deep sleeper to realize this; else she might end up laid out like Akiho.

Mikipon: "Girl, you 'bout to get cut."

This was a weird one. The thoughts of Pikarin don't really give the full picture of what's going on, so the ending should bring it all together, but it still feels like something is missing. Maybe if I return to this one later my impressions will change.

I had to read it twice to pick up on the cheating part. during the first read I didn't get the clue that she was dating her gf when she brought the other woman home, so the shoes and hair didn't fully mesh. on a second read, it all made more sense.

darn it! i didn't expect for Shiho to give her a ring, and it wasn't smooth or cool the way she did it, but it really was a melt-your-heart moment.

And people say Shiho is emotionless.

true. just kinda reminds people that everyone has their own way of showing their emotions.

Where's that hand goin...

While reading this chapter, I subconsciously started repeating the lyrics to Sir Mix-a-lot's "Baby Got Back" and thinking Yumimi is secretly, not secretly a T&A kinda girl which I can respect 1000%.

As for that hand, to infinity and beyond?!?!?

One question though. if you're having issues strumming, do you use a pick and it's an issue with holding your pick that's throwing you off or is it something else? I'm not sure I understand why strumming of all things would be a problem.

I use a pick for regular guitar, but not for bass, which is standard. Since typically bass is strummed with the first two fingers, and a certain way to produce the proper sound/results, I m having trouble because the lengths of my first two fingers are too disparate. Can't find a good hand position to accommodate it etc. so its frustrating.

I've never had an interest to learn bass, so I did not know that. thanks for explaining. as for your original problem, gosh! I think i understand your frustration a tad more and now understand why you mentioned learning to play with your middle and ring fingers. all I can say is don't give up! i know you'll figure something out.
