Cute. Too bad we're not gonna have any more Pikachi LycoReco for a while, I guess.
Do we know which pen name the commercial works are under? I did take it to mean "commercial manga releases" and not "my day job".

Also for "moderate amounts of sex", this felt like "a lot of sex".

afaik it's only a small difference. NSFW stuff is just Pikachi, her commercial aka serialized works are under Ohi Pikachi. Like Our Teachers Are Dating! or Demi Life!.

I'll miss Pikachi's doujins a lot but I'm also very excited for a new series. Sensei doesn't miss so that's bound to be great

Didn we miss the "Summer Festival (1)"?

Summer Festival (1) was Chapter 30, before the Dodgeball Arc.

I hope they all get together— even Nacchan. If she breaks up with her GF, at least. If not, them in fane with just the 4 lol

the beauty of polyamory is that Nacchan doesn't need to break up with her GF if she's down with extending their relationship in such a way.

Though that's prob too advanced of a concept for the general public to consider implementing it in a manga like this xD

Is Mieruko-chan yuri in the first place? I don't remember anything of the sort up until where I've read it, though its been some time since then. I have to admit that my expectations on this one are rather low. The scenes in the trailer didn't really convey the mood of the manga to me. I hope I'm proven wrong though.

Only in the broadest "yuri is about relationships between girls" kinda way, really. the manga has gotten a significant boost in gayness ever since Michiru got introduced though (which happens after the end of the anime). She is definitely, consistently, unsubtly, super hecking gay for Miko.

I'm just hoping the anime is passable at least, rather than being worried about the details. Horror yuri anime has a terrible track record thanks to Mieruko-chan and Otherside Picnic, so if this ends up even a 7/10 it'll be well above par

What the Mieruko-chan adaptation covered can barely be called yuri but that aside i thought the anime was pretty well done?

At this point I think this has become the main line story.

that's literally what it is. the "side stories" is a bit of a misnomer. In the middle of volume 4 the manga transitioned from the 4-page chapters to these longer ones.

Chapter 93 was the last 4-page chapter and then it seamlessly continues with chapter 94, which is the first one of these "side stories" here".

Hhhhh these two are just pure sugar~ <3

it would be kind of a real big brain move if nothing bad ever happened again for the whole rest of the series and we'd never be able to relax and let our guard down until the very end bc we've been conditioned so well to just wait for the next shoe to drop xD

obvs not gonna happen, but it would be kinda funny

Is it just me or is Nodoka's chest getting bigger with each new chapter?

It's not just you, and it's not only Nodoka. Case in point, my post on the previous page:

Man, I thought Bai Yan would have some sort of mental defense or a jungle gym for her to do mental gymnastics in, just some personal made up excuse to convince herself shes doing the right thing.

But she's really just a bad person, huh?

it's almost refreshing how unabashedly shitty she is.

In Yuriful classroom, it feels like a "Blue Moon" manga , new chapters come as rarely as a blue moon. Each chapter either brightens your day or ruins it because your left curious, waiting for the next one. But, as always, that next chapter isn’t coming anytime soon. (^-^)

There is no next chapter. This is the end of the book. According to page 7 of Chapter 0, the Asaka x Sayo portion was the final entry.

Of course there's a next chapter. The series is complete at 3 volumes, this is just the last chapter of the first one.

True, but the significance is that crystal clear mental image and her realization about how it made her feel. Mitsuki pictured Aya there, sad and lonely and missing Mistuki, and that made her feel something that hit her as hard as a Shounen protagonist awakening their latent superpowers for the first time lol. Presumably "I'm making her feel sad and lonely because I'm not there with her. She wants me there with her. I want to give her everything she wants for Reasons. I'm getting my dumb ass to prom asap."

Turns out Aya isn't just moping around with her phone and Mitsuki will find her completely wasted off of non-alcoholic juice.

Aya decides to have fun by herself instead of getting all depressed in a once-in-a-lifetime event. Mitsuki finds her laughing with her friends and mistakenly thinks that Aya doesn’t need her. Enter the next arc: separation.

I doubt it will go this way though with all that build-up since last chapter. But if it did go this way, what a waste. Author has no mercy.

i'll be holding you personally accountable for speaking it into existence if it comes to this. /j

It's not uncommon for people (like this author) in ultra conservative regions to show signs of internalized hoophobia and other bigoted opinions (even if they themselves are), just sayin'

Just because a character voices a bigoted opinion in a work of fiction doesn't mean the author supports (consciously or otherwise) said opinion. That's like, Writing 101.
Why would you jump straight to internalized homophobia when the much more like "this character is clearly portrayed to be wrong with this opinion and is smth to be overcome by the protagonists" is right there.

Well, cousin incest isn't the same as nuclear-family incest...

Well yeah there are degrees and nuances to it all but it seems superfluous to split hairs over it for fictional characters. I mean, if you wanna get technical about it a good chunk of "arguments" against incest don't apply to same sex incestual couples in the first place.
And that presumes the actual "consummation" of said relationship, which isn't even the case here. Not that there was any real possibility for it in the first place in this series, we knew that from the start~

Weirdly normalized

It's the West who weirdly hate incest, not the other way around. There are so many worse topics being commonly explored in popular Western works, yet everyone always gets so offended when two fictional siblings love each other. Why?

Worth noting that it's the USA that hardline it the most from what i can tell. Europe sits kind of in the middle of the scale between the USA and Japan on the issue, at least that how it seems to me. Like, it's still stigmatized and all but at least here in Germany for example, marrying your cousins is completely inconsequential, never seen anybody make a fuss over it.

Miki was excited for/about her sister from chapter 1, but I don't think there was any hint of it being more than sisterly love and supportiveness. (Yes, some siblings actually get along and like each other.)

she's been showing the "siscon" tendencies from the start really, until the reveal it just could've plausibly gone either way. as in "really attached to her but nothing more" vs "actually in love with her".

Porn sites are full of incest and people blame Japan for being weird. It's just a common trope.

Yeah but porn is porn. The criticism isn't about porn. Lots of crazy shit is done in porn that I wouldn't want in my average fiction. I'm surprised I have to say that porn isn't a good barometer.

They are right about it being a common trope though. Just look at the romance genre as a whole, there's so many stories about incest, both contemporary and ancient.

Oedipus Rex by Sophocles, Pericles by Shakespeare, Ada by Nabokov, to name a few. The list goes on
