So, there was no cheating and no lies.

But I'm sure some people will find some reasons to hate on Tsuzuki anyway.

hoo boy, just reading the comments here really raises warning flags aplenty that this series'll be some sort of unholy emotional masochism tango combined with cheating and raw stupidity.

i'm gonna nope the foch out of here. abandons thread

Coward.

I thought the translation really didn't fit the mood.

Everyone is so happy thinking that this is about polyamory and sexual fluidity... but me, all I have to say is: I'll believe Tsuzuki's story WHEN AND IF HIROKI AND FUKUNAGA CONFIRM IT, not before.

Seriously. Don't know why people are so ready to accept this shifty woman's words at face value.

THIS.

She literally has no reason to lie.

It wasn't really a 3some.

It wasn't shown if she fucked herself or if she only made "sempai feel good" with 4 hands and 2 tongues.

So it maybe doesn't warrant the selfcest tag.

I'm surprised about polyamory tags, is it FFF or FFM? I read the first chapter and a little scared to continue.

As of now, it's MMF, but it may change, who knows.

Love has unpredictable effects.

Anyway, from my take, Kashiwai is just your average woman, on the "normal" track of dating a nice guy => marriage => kids.

Just the usual for a lot of women and she doesn't see any reason why she shouldn't follow on that. She doesn't hate the guy, nor does she love him madly, but she believes that with time, she will come to love him. So why not? But she still thinks something's missing, because that marriage isn't something she particularly looks forward to.

Then her eyes meets the ones of Nanami and bam, love strikes. No explanation, no reason, just instant attraction. Literally love at first sight.

So now, she's struggling with these newfound feelings she didn't have with her man. And at the start of chapter 2, she's wondering who she's with. The premises of "I want to make her mine"?

On the other hand, Nanami is in a poly relationship and seems to be a free spirit.

In the end, I think the overarching theme will be jealousy and not a gay/bi/poly one.

Been thinking about what's currently been shown. It seems likely that Nanami and Fukunaga were in a relationship longer or at least knew each other longer. That's what the "university junior" seems to imply, unless in Japan you call each other that even when neither were in college at the time of meeting and they just happened to go to the same university. That's highly possible actually.

Most probably it's "university kouhai" in the original. Meaning they just happen to hail from the same university, but seeing their age gap, I doubt they were in it at the same time.

As for this manga, it seems way better than Octave already. Mostly because the characters are openly shitty people. THIS type of a story is all about how deep the rabbit hole can get. I like that.

Actually, after reading chapter 2, I don't see anyone shitty anymore.

I don't understand anything.

Not sure but this thought always craving in my mind when I saw adult life or cheating and het tags in yuri manga :
Pretty sure, this seems likely how yuri (les and more like bi) born irl, huh... Like, pure yuri in real life doesn't exist. Yada yada.

I don't compain about the story, I even think that this situation is the most logic yuri can happen irl (usualy from unsatisfaction, uncertainity, emptiness, trauma from characters) but, my heart can't invest on it either coz, sheesh, thats kinda suck and depressing...

LGBTQ matters don't "logically" happen the most because of trauma or unsatisfaction in real life.

Don't ever equate a biased sample of manga with real life. Yuri is not real life. It is a genre convention with tropes both wholesome and not. Which gets to a larger point of don't ever blindly equate fiction with real life. If you want to know how real lesbians or bisexuals find out about things or live their lives, then go read their interviews and stories and you know, talk to real people.

u dont get my point. also i don't comment for arguing. coz u just repeating what i said that yuri doesn't exist irl, only using ur own word. of course i can distinguish the fiction and rl, thats why i said "likely". u can read my guy? don't just get randomly insulted for no reason.

i have that thought because i already have watch some real life stories and they have that phase before they turn into les. for example, mostly they have het relationship before and coz of one of reasons i said before they turn into les. of course it dont have to be exact like this story, especially on the cheating part, which is why i said "likely" once again, u dummy. if u don't like i use my phrasing just use whatever words u like. ALSO, i dont say anything about lgbt coz i dont include male gay (or even male bi) and trans can have different reasons. u the one who bring that up.

one thing is that if u have experience that really opposite of what im saying, u can tell me something to proof me wrong. for example, if u born right away and become les, that way u can have a good argument if u real people yourself.

if u are a dude, than dont bother reply coz ur argument would not count, as i said before that i talked about likely yuri.

That whole post was an incoherent raving and I didn't understand anything of what you wanted to say.

As the saying goes, what is well conceived is clearly said, and the words to say it flow with ease.

You're just babbling in pseudo-English and not getting whatever you mean across, because you don't even know yourself what you mean.

The final sentence is the icing on the cake.

Nekomancer47 posted:
But I doubt either way it will end with a “happy” yuri couple. Cheaters are never satisfied, after all.

They may end up being both horrible people, but I don't think it's the theme here.

From what I got, the theme is "sometimes, love happens, deal with it".

Man proposes, God disposes.

The author will now tell us how this unravels.

Some characters will suffer, will cry, or will rage, even if they don't deserve it, but such is life.

Dayominator posted:

Can't say I'm too wildly interested in this one so far. Both female leads feel like they're gonna end up kinda shitty people to me, or they're going to try and "justify" it by making their boyfriends shitty despite their initially pleasant demeanors. I'll keep an eye on it but I don't want this to turn into a guy hate fest just for "the yuri".

I'll gladly throw all the guys under the bus if it means a happy yuri couple.

Well, Eve almost died, but the nurse didn't seem overly concerned. And when Siki died, she looked like "sad, but that's how it goes...moving on."

We don't have any details about how the Vampires live alongside the human society, but it looks like a predator/prey relationship where some of the preys retaliate and it seems to be considered inevitable, or accepted hazard.

I mean, the majority of humans are no threat to the teen vampires, who can charm them.

Only a few exceptions seem to be bent on hunting teen vampires (probably because they are easier to kill than adult vampires).

I mean, the school is full of vampires. They don't seem to be on the verge of extinction. So maybe there's an "acceptable loss" policy. Maybe when they grow up, Vampires get more unfeeling.

Let's hope the author expands the universe.

Well, the very concept of Vampire teenagers getting birthdays is kinda strange to begin with. It would mean they are born from other vampires as babies and not sired. And they don't need human blood before 14.

Maybe we will get more explanations in later chapters. It's supposed to happen in a far future after all.

Well, that kinda was a waste of time tbh.

It was a typical shoujo kinda thing and I don't even know who it was aimed at.

It confirms my first impression.

juanelric posted:

What happened with this? Did it end with only two chapters? Or was the translation discontinued?

It's a doujin. They just didn't make more.

The ending was confusing af.

I didn't get the punchline. Please, explain.

Please to be your "little sister"? I think something is lost in translation.

Looks like Lily System was translated just in time.

It was planned, since the characters are named Nana and Mizuki.

I take from this that Azuran's love was actually much stronger (or more intense) than Yuri's and she felt that if she stayed, it would end in a disaster for Yuri.

She had to leave to protect Yuri. In some societies, marrying girls off to nearby villages is the normal thing to do. Two lesbians eloping wouldn't go far.

But she couldn't bear to leave without a piece of her.

Dramatic, but beautiful.

Thanks for the translation.

well cant say ive ever seen a confession get brushed off so fast. why was that even included at all?

I think maybe a mistranslation?

Doctor_Hoot posted:

It's a slightly unusual relationship, but I think Miyako would be disappointed to learn that Asako doesn't consider her a friend. But I do understand that Asako has some insecurities that make her wary of getting too attached...

Your landlord isn't "a friend", even if you have a good relationship with them.

This feels like an odd one to upload here, it's neither translated nor restricted to view, it's all on the author's twitter. What's the point of reposting it here (potentially taking away from the OG post's number aside)?

Yeah, seriously, what's the point of this reader? Everything is on Mangadex anyway.

Turns out this has been licensed in English by Seven Seas! First volume comes out on 5/3/2022!

But it's still being scanlated on MD by Imanity Scans it seems.

Go figure.

The French bits were hilarious.

The author doesn't know French at all.

shacklesburst posted:

I really hope Shiki is able to pick up this girl from her class now (or the other way around) instead of kinda sorta chasing after Haijima. Even if that's the end game it promises to be quite a while until then, given that we're back at the beginning of second year here.

I believe it's set in the third year though?

Like, she says they were in the same class in the first year, then got split in 2nd year and are now back in the same class for the 3rd year
