I’m in love with how the last page is drawn lol! Looks sooo good.

I also think I just like how hair is drawn when it’s flowing in the wind. And Evie’s comment really made me chuckle. “that’s the main character for ya” lol

It’s probably an artistic mistake, but ima headcannon it as Evie forgetting to put the cloth on the table cuz she was too busy yawning to hear what she was saying yes to lmao

You're mixing up one poster with every poster. If I thought the author of this series was a bigot I'd stop reading it, but I haven't accused them of any character flaw and I explicitly said I'm not quitting. I just talked about why I disliked how I've scene was crafted and wished it was done better to avoid triggering people.

You never accused the author, correct, but you WERE justifying others doing so;

“So what? The author still picked a wound by bringing up the topic and then left it uncovered.”

“But there's people out there that are truly hurt by being confronted by their lack of an ability to participate in pregnancy and childbirth, that suffer real bigotry in the real world because of it, and they're allowed to vent and be unhappy about this.”

“Once again: So what? The author's intent does not dictate how people feel and nobody is demanding that they go back and change the story.”

By saying this stuff, you’re justifying people calling the author a bigot/homophobe by blaming the author for bringing it up in the first place and not handling it in a way the wont make sensitive people upset.

Stop being so damn defensive just because multiple people don't like something and one of those multiple people happened to be rude or whatever.

Rich coming from the person who’s acting equally as defensive towards people who are literally just pointing out how unfair it is to call the author a bigot/homophobe basically over a single chapter in a comic.

Somebody agreeing with you but they're rude does not make you automatically wrong.

I never said that so idk why you’re acting like that’s my point, or anyone’s point, literally no one has made this point lmao.

You can be offended, I feel like myself and others have said that, but you can’t just slander the author by calling them a bigot and a homophobe (or in your case, defend people who are accusing the author of bigotry and homophobia) and get upset when people challenge you (and others) on that notion

And just to be clear, one last time: The problem is the combination of Evie's dad saying homophobic shit and the magic babies being a response to earn his approval. If the dad said his shit, his wife browbeat him into dropping it, and then later Elsa brought up "hey did you know we actually can get preggo together lol" while they're in bed that night, it still would not be to my taste certainly but it also wouldn't be getting under people's skin.

First of all, you’re literally just explaining that you’re upset with how the topic is handled/written (which is what I said, so idk why you’re restating it like I misunderstood, but go off ig)

Second of all, Elsa isn’t bold enough to bring up the fact they can have children together cuz, in their own words, “its way too early for this conversation”, so her bringing it up while they’re in bed wouldn’t be in character.

(Also, these girls both went to school together + I think Evie has game/story knowledge so she’d 100% already know of this if it wasn’t taught in school)

“You’ve been sitting there for the last hour or so, right?”

This is really cute but sheeeeesh, that looks like one damn scary place to just randomly follow a stranger to... even if she's hot... well, maybe if the stranger's really hot...

A lot of Serial killers tend to be hot, soooooo

As a concept it’s interesting to see—

Girl A gets annoyed by Stoic Girl B who (I assume) plays with people’s emotions for the sake of getting good content (YouTuber brained type of gal, clearly), or rather references for her manga

And then Girl A does something that actually throws Girl B off

Kinda reminds me of the Sal Jiang manga when I word it like that ngl…

Considering this author's other works, this one wasn't very interesting (heh). Could have included more physical violence.

Sal Jiang would’ve went WILD with this set up (on the physical violence at least)

gonna be honest, 'Not Yuri' might be my new favorite tag

After going down the rabbit hole of “Not yuri” myself, I agree. This tag has legit bangers

Kind of disgusting to assume the character is trans because he likes to cross-dress

Moreso it’s silly to assume the character is trans when he EXPLICITLY states he doesn’t want to be a girl, just likes wearing girl clothes.

Not usually a yaoi fan… but I’d actually read this if it became a series

I’ll prolly reread this at some point, but in retrospect, I feel like the story dragged on a bit too long. Would’ve been better if less fine was spent leading up to the relationship, that way more time could be spent on seeing them dating and stuff

First page already reminds me of Shojo Manga Protag X Rival

I wouldn’t be surprised if this was what inspired that series.

Honestly, as much as I love the dynamic, it’s better as a one off thing instead of a whole series. 30 chapters AT MOST, but 20 of those chapters are building up the relationship while the last 10 are the girls in a relationship

I’m glad the harem idea was dropped— I’d hate to see Itsumi cheat on Rin. Poly route tho? Very open to, if it works, at least

Yuri double dates are the best (^_^)/

Do they happen often? I feel like this is the first time I’ve ever seen a yuri double date

Y'know, after sitting on this a bit, I realize that this might be kind of controversial (don't out people, don't spill the tea, don't speak other people's truths without their permission) but at this point, given all that she actually knows about both of them, SURELY this is one rare circumstance in which Kamiya is justified in grabing Yuzu's stupid face and telling her "SHE LIKES YOU ROMANTICALLY, YOU DUMMY, SHE EXPLICITLY TOLD ME HERSELF WHEN SHE TURNED DOWN MY CONFESSION GO MARRY HER ALREADY." I said before I think that might have happened, but I've been debating internally whether or not doing such a thing is ethical, and I think I've landed on "Just tell her, there's no other way to break the shell."

I think the issue is, Yuzu herself is so deep down that hole of denial, hearing that her feelings are returned from anyone else other than Minami herself will just cause her to dig herself deeper into that hole— like, she just flat out wouldn’t believe them, pull a “she just thinks we’re best friends, and that’s all we’ll ever be”

I also think that Yuzu isn’t mentally prepared for a relationship yet, but that’s prolly just me thinking that

The author doesn't know you and can't predict what sort of reaction you'd have.

Once again: So what? The author's intent does not dictate how people feel and nobody is demanding that they go back and change the story. If I were like a sensitivity reader for the author prerelease I'd definitely recommend that they change it. I'd recommend for anyone else writing shit who might be reading this that it's best to avoid having a character espouse very real homophobic talking points and then have them be not rebuked and instead assuaged by a solution to their objection that does not exist in the real world. But in this specific instance I'm just a disgruntled reader bitching about not liking one chapter of a mostly very good story, expressing my earnest feelings about the work, just like most other commenters.

The main thing is, just cuz you’re upset with how a scene is written or don’t like how a topic is handled, doesn’t give you an excuse or any right to attack the author’s character or justify others doing so.

You and many others are choosing to interpret the scene negatively and in turn thinking that the author is a homophobe. That’s not fair.

The world in the comic isn’t real, it has magic in it, so why wouldn’t the author take advantage of the story’s setting and use a convienent solution for a real problem? This could very well be a way of coping. Isn’t it a common thing to dream of things that can’t happen in real life?

Oh my god, just be honest. If you’re not happy in the relationship, end it. Should’ve ended it sooner ngl

But better late then never ig

I wonder how long this manga is? I’m curious if there will be a resolution and at the end of the manga, everyone is more normal and mentally sound, or if it’ll keep going downhill from here
