I suspect a CGDCT anime, ala Kinoro Mosaic.

Would seem natural enough for an adaptation of a CGDCT manga. ʅ ( • ε • ) ʃ

I know I'm just playing with ideas here, but what about the fact they are not even the same species?

Humans are omnivorous. Foxes are carnivorous. Which one is will eat best?

Foxes are omnivores actually, just with a strong pouncing carnivore bent. They eat lots of berries and suchlike in the wild.

Anyway that was some erotically charged social grooming...

Veni, vidi, vici.
Young or old Eiko conquers all she surveys.

Merriam-Webster tells me the definition of "platonic love" is
1: love conceived by Plato as ascending from passion for the individual to contemplation of the universal and ideal
2: a close relationship between two persons in which sexual desire is nonexistent or has been suppressed or sublimated

#1 obviously isn't relevant here; as for #2, the relevant definition for "sublimation" would be to divert the expression of (an instinctual desire or impulse) from its unacceptable form to one that is considered more socially or culturally acceptable (the Wikipedia article adds "unconsciously" to that)... yeah, I don't think Mimika really does any of that. Depending on your definitions I suppose her very conscious refusal to act on her sexual desires would count for the "suppression" part though so fair enough.

Throwing "romantic" at M-W - there's no specific definition for "romantic love" in it apparently - nets me a link to "romance" and from there to "love affair" (a romantic attachment or episode between lovers) and the following relevant lines:
5b : marked by expressions of love or affection
c : conducive to or suitable for lovemaking
...while FWIW Wikipedia article on "romantic love" includes:
Anthropologist Charles Lindholm defined love to be "...an intense attraction that involves the idealization of the other, within an erotic context, with expectation of enduring sometime into the future."

Well that rather sounds like our lovebirds here if you ask me.

Significantly, not one of the various definitions discussed in the article includes sexual acts as some manner of requirement for romantic love; indeed the early historical iteration of the concept, Medieval courtly love, at least formally held that they basically had no business in the whole affair in the first place. (People being people it ought to be safe to assume any number of high ladies and gallant knights rather transgressed on the "purity of heart and mind" of the ideal theory behind closed doors but that's neither here nor there.)

It's not romantic love if there is no sexual acts. It would instead be platonic love by definition.

What.

The "should we hold hands as well?" on the last page shows that there's more than one couple in the end.

Someone's going for the osananajimi route, indeed.

Mizuki is so done with Ayaka's tsundere antics lmao

"It has cats. And other cats. Not to mention you."

whoa Anko is savage af

So does this mean Nico is a double bottom and hence compliant with various marine safety regulations?
( •̀∀•́ )

Then again this is the couple whose first dates consisted of casting Magic Missilethrowing a few kilotons of majic deff rays at each other... ʅ ( • ε • ) ʃ

And so Eiko's harem grows ever larger.

All women are in her harem, they just don't know it yet.

There are two kinds of women in this world; Eiko's harem and those who haven't met her yet.

Yagyu, Hibari and Haruka have some kind of triangle going IIRC. And ofc all the resident masochists (literally) want to kiss the latter's feet.

Yumi approves of this.

How is this still tagged as yuri?

Because Jun exists.

Power Perversion Potential, realized.

...identical twins separated at birth? [telenovela intensifies]

They had lots of plum buds afterwards. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Glorious.

TBF Ririha didn't really even do all that much. She gave them a speculative prod or two and they pretty much proceeded to fall over their own insecurities and anxieties. Upside being they ended up doing some necessary soul-searching over the nature of their relationship.

That said, Ririha herself seems to be pretty confused by how easily they're forgiving her. I guess it mostly boils down to Mimika being a bit odd in general and Kade running on a somewhat idiosyncratic set of values?

I'm almost certain that this was meant to be an epic drama about them each lying to each other and finally finding the courage to admit their feelings, but the author lost most of the pages, left only with the very beginning and the end. That's the only rational explanation for its current state.

The cat ate the manuscript and then deadlines happened? Σ:3

yohane.just.touch.them.zuras

She's just a loser tho.

zura/10 start for the week ԅ(≖‿≖ԅ)

The eyes, dear Watson.

Shii and Ririha will get along like a house on fire, methinks. :3

When are they just going to declare Kamu to be Eiko's legal wife?
