Absolute best straight couple on this site; just a genuinely well done side story. I love our main girls, but I wish these two the best and am looking forward what comes next for them all

When filling out the 2024 Yuri elections, I was trying to think of my all-time favorites, and my mind came to this one. I think this was the very first yuri series I really fell in love with. I was a teen when I found it, but it was probably the first time I'd read anything with adult women, living life, loving and supporting each other (though looking now and knowing they're only 24...... OTL ) To re-read this now, I'm happy to see it's still as sweet as I remember, and thank you so much to the other commenters that helped me finally read the ending ;-;

Chapters 21-26 comments:
La Fin de Girlhood has to be my favorite chapter now; I'd always wondered the reason Shinobu cut her hair, but the way she explained it was so real and makes her current style all the more meaningful.

The final page of the series is so simple and it took me a second to appreciate it, but the final lines are them finally saying how much they love each other. Every other chapter ends with affirmations of their love, but they were always internal. So the fact they were both able to actually say, out loud, they want to spend the rest of their lives together I just ;-; I'm so happy for them. But the way the speech bubbles were overlapped, it looked like another thought bubble at first glance and I totally missed the meaning.

ooooooooo yes yes yes, I read this one somewhere else but I'm so glad it made it on here; it's silly and adorable. Tia and Cynthia are such an odd couple I love it. Also holy light magic punches is so good

Thank you for picking this up after 6 years, this is such a sweet story (also. that boat is so sick? that's so cool??)
Are there any more chapters after Ch 3? This seems like a nice place to conclude, if now.

Jing Xiu at 1am on her birthday: she forgot :c

maybe it's something specific to do with the time I don't quite get, but I'm sure, before the end of the day, she'll get her gift. At least, we can hope!

oh wow it's been years since I've been into Sunshine, but this one brought me right back into the characters. It's a slow, kind of subtle story that brings in all the girls really well, and a great You POV. Very sweet, could have been an episode tbh. Thank you so much for translating!

Definitely interested in this one so far, and what the other girl's deal is. Based on the title, I feel like this story is gonna get a lot into identity. Wanna see where it goes. MC is cute so far too, really enjoy her

They're BOTH foxes?? Oh I'm very in now! I think it's super cool both of them are mythical creatures. Now I want to know if this is gonna be a story of constant misinformation, or of trickery one-upsmanship, or something else completely. Now that the dynamic isn't human/monster, I don't know where we're going, but I'm excited!

"GSH" = "Get some help" It's basically a Kaela catchphrase; she says it a lot to viewers commenting any sort of weird stuff

So the two girls who were in a idol group together left the group and opened a cosmetic brand together... That's adorable good for them :)

Arent they just doing some sponsored modeling gig like advertisement and stuff?

Based on her comment on developing the mascara formula and the girls at the beginning, its Tsuki's own brand. Though with such a limited shade range (that shade range being: my girlfriend) it's probably a brand you buy for the name lol

((...she might just means for the photoshoot, but it's way funnier to think she made the whole line with only one person in mind))

I did like the ending tbh, I don't know how else it could've and I'm glad they get to live a life together. My only confusion is Nekomori. Without Lily, there's no reason for her to stay with the family, and no doubt she's been distraught for the whole month. I guess the bookshop owner, her uncle, knows because of Hana. Between that and the note, she'll probably learn too eventually. But to leave her out of the resolution is just pretty sad. I don't like when important side characters are shafted for the ending, but overall I did like this story a lot up to the end ^^

I've had my suspicions that Sumiko-sensei might be American, and this puts a lot of credibility to that lol (if there's any interviews about it, I don't know but I'd be interested to read) I mean, what western teen show DOESN'T have a prom arc; I can imagine her lamenting the idea that she couldn't write one for her characters, then going "Wait, this is my story! Of course they can!!"

love Narita so much, he is absolutely best boy and is just living for this love story just like all of us 10/10

I guess there were the kittens that died way earlier that Rena buried, which would be wild if it was foreshadowing but I also doubt it's where it's going

Huh? What chapter did this happen in? Guess I need to reread the early chapters since it's been so long since I read them.

Back in Chapter 6 when Chibi escaped in the old apartment. They pass a building and Rena says it's where she buried Chibis sibling, so I guess she wasn't the only abandoned kitten, just the one who survived. She was pretty sure Chibi wasn't gonna make it at first probably cus of that. But you never see the other kitten on screen

I think it would be pretty absurd to end on a tragedy in a manga with as cutesy and soft of a title as "My Cute Little Kitten". So I'm guessing it's all psychological and temporary they just need to finally properly talk

I guess there were the kittens that died way earlier that Rena buried, which would be wild if it was foreshadowing but I also doubt it's where it's going

This was a whole lot of ideas at once and tbh it's all bullshit but I'm here for it, in the end it's a story about loss and humanity and lesbians, very good topics indeed

Ok a few more thoughts lol that I'm sure people touched on before, but it also seems like she treats sex and a defense and solution. At the start of their relationship, she thought of sex as something she needed to 'give' to Rena to make her stay. At this point I'm fairy certain she just, y'know, enjoys it, but in her state rn she knows it's something that makes her happy and Rena happy, so as long as they keep doing it, they'll always be happy. And again, I don't think Rena sees any of this as a red flag, because she likes sex! She's the one who suggested the two day binge! And if anything she's might be thinking it's a relief Yuna has enough energy to have sex despite being tired all the time, it could be seen as a good thing.
But even if she just, like, really horny now, no undertones, she's still using it defensively! If all they do when she is awake is have sex, they don't need to talk about anything, and she falls asleep right after, so nothing at all can be said.
Thank you, I just read the whole series up to now, I had thoughts, I had worms.

Definitely not reading this as a specific sleep disorder, despite being disordered sleeping. I think this chapter goes through the details to make me interpret this as a symptom of anxiety and depression, which I've definitely been seeing noticing signs throughout the read. I don't know enough about BPD to concur w the poster above, but I think we're seeing similar signs. It's a coping mechanism.

Her stress is so high because of her inability to talk about what's actually on her mind (because she thinks everything will crumble if she voices anything, despite Rena's assurance). All that stress is physically exhausting. And she doesn't want to be alone, to dwell on all those questions and stress and any potential answer or consequence that could change the status quo, so she sleeps through the day to avoid it. When she wakes up, Rena is there, so everything must be fine. If it wasn't fine, Rena would be gone. So she goes back to sleep. It's the closest one can get to limbo while time still passes.
It's a bad coping mechanism, but one I understand. And we've already seen her being very prone to getting overwhelmed, this is just that to a higher, more debilitating degree. Yuna really hates herself, at some point she even said when she was alone that taking care of Chibi was the only reason she should exist at the moment. Real concerning stuff. I don't think Rena knows how to deal with it, or even know the signs, which is why she just hasn't done anything yet. I think they have hope still but fr. Therapy. NEEDED.

I don't cry over stories often anymore, but page 32, with Kiri sitting in front of her sculpture, held between those hands, actually made me bawl.

Minimalism is one thing but….really ONE plate and fork? You crazy girl

Definitely not minimalist, but I do this too living alone ^^; Dishes pile up too quick if I have any more, so I just keep one set around for myself (though I do have extras set aside just in case I ever do have company lol)
