I just gotta say why is it that citrus of all series has to be the face of yuri? I know it was a popular anime probably for the fan service but there are so many better series to choose from

Aren't Citrus, Bloom Into You, and maybe Aoi Hana or Sasameki Koto the biggest, mainstream yuri titles? There aren't that many with that number of volumes either = relevant for such a long time.

Or Shiho for that matter.

I think people don't like that she pulled Hima into the bet purely to spite Yori, who did nothing to her on top of that. And now that it causes cracks to appear, they don't like her even more. At least that's how I see her - petty and insufferable.

Well, that train is moving fast, but...
Now it's time for 6+ months wait for the follow-up.

Man, we knew it was coming from the first page's "The summer you were there...", but the hope lives on.

I feel like she is a bit too cruel here. Picking her up, making her care, and now "abandoning" her is probably way worse for Shizuku than staying with her while sick, even if the prognosis is not good.

I don't get how did this come out from the same person as The Feelings We All Must Endure and Philosophia. I guess it's been a while, but... the gap is still too large

Wouldn't mind some more of the most idiotic of couples too. Maybe a spin-off with them as a sidegag.

Man, I dislike both of them quite a lot. Rin's indecisiveness and her shell are kinda annoying and would be a handful to deal with, but Momoka should have been aware of that before she started her little game. Her attitude towards Momka after the fight is kinda impossible to gloss over since she obviously takes their relationship for granted.

But Momoka is on another level. She should know that if she wants to build an actual relationship with Rin, it needs to be slow and steady. Instead, she tries to push the physical aspect, almost completely ignoring the need for trust and emotional closeness to be there for it to work. Thus she creates a superficial relationship with her own hands and then gets pissed when the other party calls it superficial. Following, she immediately jumps ship and intentionally does the most hurtful thing she can, expecting... not sure what exactly?

Character likability is like 4/10 for Rin and 1/10 for Momoka in my book.

Still curious where it will end up though, so waiting for new chapters.

  1. She didn't respect the privacy of the secret that was given to her

How so? She didn't tell anyone, she just acted on what she was told. That's completely fine. Wanting to help your friends is fine, even if you use some insider info to do it.

I'm sorry if I offended anyone but C'MON MAN she is clearly doing something stupid

What she's doing is something mature, that should have solved the issue if what she was told was the actual reason for Shiho leaving. If the problem was that they were aiming for different things, it would have been a misunderstanding at most and not a reason for complete relationship breakdown.

Honestly, at this point, it would have been refreshing if Hima stopped being a martyr for Shiho's sake and just said no, and to talk it out and leave her out of it. It's really hard to empathize with Shiho, let alone like her, when she is being such an insufferable person.

I love how the author makes scenes with the kids - they just ooze that chaotic energy. Just looking at the screen drains your energy. You can really feel why one would feel gratitude for being helped. Super expressive faces, reminiscent of Kishi Torajirou, but kinda softer and more "round". One of my absolute favorites.

Realistically the gag shouldn't be funny anymore, but somehow it still is. I mean, just a normal chapter, nothing to see here.

Is Liz playing a martyr now? Does she think she is on a noble path to improve the lives of others by being recognized as a lesbian, even if it's by sacrificing Maki along the way? It's rare that I think the character is so dislikable I just don't want for her to find a way to redemption, but here we are. She's just getting worse with every chapter.

Fucking finally. I have no idea how getting crept on by Mary ended up in them being friend'ish, to begin with - any normal person would nope the fuck out of that kind of situation. I know they will "resolve" it and they will all be "friends" again, but even in such a lighthearted series, it's really hard to stomach this level of badly written character interaction.

Whenever I try reading a harem series (for whatever reason) I never manage to overlook the fact that they all fall for a dude based on what is really extremely basic courtesy anyone should extend to anyone else. Like "he's nice" or "he smiled at me" or "he told me it would be okay when I was stressed out" or probably "he gave me directions once."

And I'm like, what happened to these girls to make their standards so low? Have they only ever been around abusive assholes their entire life before? Do they have untreated PTSD? Is Japan just a society of completely self-absorbed egotists such that just being polite and decent becomes irresistibly rare and attractive?

I mean... do you need a reason to fall in love? Attraction is often immediate, and then deeper feelings are built from small interactions. Falling in love with someone who you are attracted to and who is also considerate and empathetic seem perfectly reasonable. He is described as someone who always pays attention to people around him, is always there to lend a shoulder and support you, listens and matches your pace when needed. If anything, it's too perfect - most people are way more selfish, and not only in Japan.

Poor guy didnt even get a face. Is this like romantic objectification or something? Like a macguffin?

Based on TL notes that sounds more or less intentional - because he is no longer part of the story, he is just "that guy" now. An extra.

Bear in mind that Nirasaka doesn't know that Fuuwa know about Yukiko being a succubus so she can't know that Fuuwa is ok with it.

She does, Fuuwa told her directly in ch4p7, while also not leaving any space for interpretation as to her feelings towards Yukiko. That's why people are saying that Nirasaka is actively sabotaging their relationship here because she knows that Fuu knows, is ok with it, and has feelings for Yukiko, yet still presents Yukiko a hypothetical of Fuu rejecting her for being a succubus. This can't really be interpreted as anything else than malicious.

I know that's not the point, but the characters and plot just feel off, even for a hentai. The story starts (as in, 1/3rd) like vanilla with two friends hinting at their mutual interest In each other, then has straight-up ntrish vibes with onee sending Hana away to get it on with her love interest. Interest just moves on to onee with no resistance, like that's what she came there for. Hana comes back and just happily starts masturbating like she never cared to begin with. Boom, how about you join us for a threesome, smiles all around. It just feels lifeless and devoid of any direction or emotion.

I don't see a secret or love, and triangle won't be here until potential part 2, so even the title is off.

I expected nothing and I'm still let down.
