Can someone reorganize this ? it should be grouped with the other GirlXGirl collection as one series, and the first page is the cover of the third volume

Well I think the complaint is due to the recent outburst of cross-dressing/yaoi stuff. So it would help if there is some kind of filter for the recently added page though.

If people can't filter things by themselves there's nothing we can do

There were also a large uproar when Oshiko sensei was uploaded, and now ? people moved on, that's what'll happen

Someone put a yaoi manga in a yuri manga page.Whoever came up with that idea is a real cocksucker...sucks cock

This isn't Yuri reader, it's Dynasty reader, they put whatever they please

I wonder about the title of this series. I think the meaning is different from the Japanese original one, is it?

The scanlators did make one page to explain the title

If Germany and France don't agree with each other, nothing's going to fix that mess.

France doesn't even agree with itself

Well.. I love all her works except "Mare" i kinda didn't get that :D I couldn't read the whole and uh.. "right-numbered-chapters" of Kisses, Sighs, and Cherry-Blossom Pink so that's why i wasn't really interested in that. But if anyone could give me some good link i would read that and then tell if i like it or not :)

I belive a dead-tree version of the whole thing will be released

Lol so even when I proved with exact page numbers, I'm still wrong lol. Makes sense.

Kizuna's the only love interest for Maki, you would know it if you read it all, there are other girls who have a crush on him, but they're not in the competition. A harem series is about competition between the 3 or more LI but there's no such thing in Prunus girls, therefore it's not a harem series

Girlfriends by a loooong margin. Girfriends, while it was slow, actually focused on the main couple, and had a linear progression...Sasamekikoto it's all over the place, 9 volumes is waaay too much for a love story between just two characters, it should have developped the minor charcters, or be just 3 volumes long

In the afterword of the first tank, the author says he didn't even know it would be serialized, so he wrote 9 volumes without plans and boy does it show

and i need to exercize my pitiful english

Haha, same here

perhaps you're right about everything else, but i can't accept this, the stories in tropical girls are all but strainghforward.

Well they're simple stories, sure they're original and well written, but in the end it all boils down to: girl+girl=love...which isn't bad at all, but there's nothing else going on, they're isn't much complicated

yes, then or i overstimate yoshitomi sensei (i wish not) and i saw a more profound meaning in the all story, or you are right and he rushed the ending, i'm not sure of my thinking, the odd is 50/50

I'm not sure you have to read that much into the ending, Yoshimi's mangas are pretty straightforward (the yuri ones at least)

in the story of unrequited love, the MC is always sad, right? in sisterism the MCs don't need to develop a mutual feeling, they are happier like that, and t's showed in the last paragraph.

It's not really unrequited love, it's mutual unknown love, and the unknown part is what made all the "plot" of the manga, and that didn't evolve at all
In a story of unrequited love, the MC grow, even if s/he doesn't end with his/her crush, but in Sisterism the main characters hasn't grow at all

image if one of the 2 understand her feeling, probably she prefer don't speak it, to not lose the bond with the other, and the bond is that strage obsession for the little sister best friend.

The problem is that we don't have a clue of how their relationship will change when they finally will realise something's going on. Will it be the end ? will it be better than now ? we can only guess, it's not hinted anywhere they're happier this way.

i read a critics about the last volume of girlfriends, the useless last misunderstanding.
useless? the last volume is necessary for akko's feeling to mature, and in the end is akko who confess!! that's a great change, no?

Keep in mind that Girlfriends is really 5 standard volumes, Akko's realisation is the theme of the third one

in sisterism, for a good development, there's needed an other book, at least,

A book is too much, it could've fitted in volume 3, if they were less silliness and more plot developpement

although you have only yourself to blame if you look for a good plot in a videogame

That's wrong but let's leave it at that

the side characters has their development thanks to a a coincidence, we don't know what will happen in future to the MCs, probably the same, but there's a long way full of misunderstandings before them, this is the meaning of the ending

This is the meaning you're giving to the ending, the ending doen't even mention the misunderstanding. One has to fanwank the turning point of the relationship

i don't like much age-gap love story (with exception, like masterpieces as hoshikawa ginza, etc...), then, for me, a good ending was with the girls breaks up with the womans, but that was an ending i didn't expect, and i was more than pleased.

It's not about liking a certain sort of relationship, it's about consistancy with the theme of the manga, which is polyamory, and the uniqueness of the bond(s) between people

they doesn't choice consciously, but can't make otherwise, they aren't mature enough, and this was showed in the difference of age and development with the side characters.

Of course they can make otherwise, everyone can evolve, so why can't they ? because the author didn't want to ? then he shouldn't had tease the reader with various heavy hints.
And age has got nothing to do with it, in fact it's the other way around: their little sisters are much more lucid, and Akira and Mari's relationship had gone much further than their big sister's

i don't think the end is rushed, in girlfriends we don't know how mari and akko 's family react to their story, i think is important, but i didn't expect to know that, every story has a time span.

Because that's not the point, the point of Girlfriends is Akko and Mari accepting their feelings towards each other. Girlfreinds didn't go beyond the story it wanted to tell (its plot if you want). Sisterism on the another hand, pretended to develop Haruka and Yoshiko's relationship but in the end, it developped everything but that

You can blame the author all you want, doesn't change the fact that the magazine ending was out of their control.

The writting of their story was under control, I'd rather have a rushed ending than no ending at all.

Meanwhile, calling the ending boring just shows that you didn't appreciate the series for what it was anyway.

I appreciated the series for what it was, and chapter 31 is, if not boring, very disappointing.

The point is, overall if you think whether Sisterism was a comedy or a drama/romance series, I think you would lean towards comedy.

Again, why should a manga skip character developpement because it's a comedy ? Strawberry shake sweet is somewhat crazier than Sisterism and it had character developpement and a progress in the story.

So if Yoshitomi-sensei only had a couple chapters left and had to decide whether to end the series on a comedic note or with big romantic drama, I think it's more natural that he would stick with the comedy.

Haruka and Yoshiko realising their feelings would surely have been the most comedic thing to happen, this last chapter is pointless and not that funny (it's downright dull due to the fact that I excpected an end to the last couple).

The reason Akira/Mari, and Sakura/Mai, happened to get confirmed romantic endings was because it was more natural/easier for those couplings. But as for Haruka and Yoshiko, since there's such a big misunderstanding between them, resolving it in a quick and easy manner would be totally awkward.

Oh come on, 31 chapters is long enough, it's been hinted since chapter 5, already, and not just once.

You can perfectly be fine with the ending, but "there's no developpement because it's a comedy" is not an argument; comedy != statu quo, and as for the "it would have been too sudden" argument, it's the mangaka's fault for setting something up and dropping it on the reader's expectations.

but bad endings are different from stupid endings (or without creativity),

It's not bad, it's dull: nothing happens

i love story with characters that grows and matures (like in Octave, Farnese in Bersek, etc...) but i didn't expect this from Sisterism.

But in Sisterism the characters grows: Akira and Mari for instance, why did Haruka and Yoshiko got the short end of stick ?

do you think the end of Two and two is good or bad?

Good, because it made sense with the permise, there was character developpement and it wrapped up the story

in sisterism they choice (want) to continue to obsess theirself with the little sister best friend.

No, that's not their choice, they didn't realize their true feelings, so they didn't choose anything, their story just stopped halfway through

bad ending? if you want a bad ending read homunculus (not yuri),

No thanks I played ME3; I've already had my fill of dull endings

a love story without drama only make sense if it's o light one-shot,

There is drama: the fact that they're both as dense as the center of the earth

not all the MCs are lucky enough, or sufficiently smart (especially if they are little kids) to understand their feelings,

Thole point would be to make them evolue and come to realise their feelings, but in the end there has been no character developpement whatsoever (between Haruka and Yoshiko), and it's even more jarring given all the foreshadowing..it's like Star wars that would end before the final assault: the climax is build up but ultimately doesn't happen

Of course it's a love story, it's always been about love, and it's not "status quo story" either

As it is, it's a bad ending,that just threw away all the hints,

Two by Two ended strangely too.

No, Two and two ended according at how it was set up, in Sisterism it's hinted since chapter 5 that those two idiots are in fact in love with each other...and then we have this anticlimatic ending, even more anticlimatic given that fact that the previous chapters were all about wrapping up the side couple. In the end we have a romantic comedy were the only loose ends are the MC's...that's a new one there (assuming the bonus chapter don't pull a Kenn Kurogane and turns out to be plot relevant)
