I was going to say the title was a reference to MariMite, but then Mamori dropped the "friends" bomb and figured that would be a bigger talking point.

"Katsu", like in tonkatsu and other fried meat cutlets?

Someone in Japan's probably made a pun on that already.

Sasuga Morishima. Another delicious work.

Just 4 pages in I could tell this is the kind of thing that would qualify as a Level 6 on Yuri-ism's old 5-Level Lewd Meter http://yuri-ism.com/2013/06/10/release-131-bad-end-lewdcures/

A regular old "Lots of sex" tag just doesn't do something like this justice.

I jumped out of my bed and yelled "WHAT?!" when I read the part where Qiu Tong said she couldn't return Sun Jing's feelings. I overreacted and thought they were done. The drama intensifies.

While I understand not wanting to be friends anymore, following her around that far while she was pushing you away the whole time was pretty cringey.

IIRC This Story itself discussed earlier it's harder to communciate romantic interest if you're both girls than if one of you is male.

My best guess is that it is an unpolished translation.

I think this translation tends to be on the literal side of things.

Going off on a tangent here! While I don't mind things like language-specific onomatopoeia, like "putong putong", which I think is the Chinese equivalent of "doki doki", literally translated (or "transliterated"), ordinary conversational speech like "your face is so red...?" (page 87) would benefit from an edit, into something like "your face is really red..."

I like how Elma's shirt says "FAT". It could be "EAT" partially blocked out by the bag of taiyaki.

I'm always game for loli yuri and I don't mind loli cat-Shana one bit.

So this is the infamous K-On manga...

I had been considering reading the real thing ever since I discovered its doujins, and I was half-expecting this to be licensed and not one the reader because of that.

I feel guilty actually laughing twice in the first chapter because this series has such a bad reputation of being brainless and boring.

Talk about "erotic eating".

"Like you do anything straight"

Cold indeed. Not really related, but...

I can't even look at any big-breasted woman in this story without thinking "oh, Kuroko's going to rape/seduce her!"

Sasuga Kuroko. Though, after looking back, that girl Kuroko was with in the infirmary was not the Academy head on page 4. She'll probably come (heh) later.

I wonder how young Kuroko's willing to go; I don't remember her lusting after any minors before this arc.

This showed up in the "Featured Series" section and I read it because hey, it's Morishima Akiko.

Her style was even more '60s back then, whew. Content-wise this feels almost too real and too meta. It makes me think Morishima's a pretty fucking interesting character herself.

I was reminded of Tima's Mother-Daughter porn book at first glance.

This title is like something out of a mediocre shonen harem LN, except in this case it's porn.

The Japanese are so good at jamming entire synopses into a given work's title.

It's like clockwork. After the current troublemaker is resolved and Mei and Yuzu get a little closer, the next troublemaker gets foreshadowed at the end of the chapter and It Starts (Again)

Count me in the "mildly dislikes Citrus" camp. But after reading all this praise about how, instead of typical yurimanga tropes, it uses tropes from Latin American soap operas and het romance-dramas, as well as how this series is being shopped around to see if anyone wants to make an anime of it, I can't help but feel a bit swept up by the hubris. Is it that dreaded "peer pressure" we were warned about in school? I dropped Happy Sugar Life and nothing of value was lost. Either that, or I just can't take my eyes off this trainwreck in particular.

Some people say that Akira and Mayu look like Yaya and Naru from Hanayamata
funny thing that Maruta is fan of this show so here the influenced

Not only is this the Hanayamata group sex doujin that never happened, I like to pretend this is the sexy predecessor (Tea Club) to Yuru Yuri's Goraku-bu (Amusement Club).

Yussss, Hanayamata.

Another series I'm sad that there's no more anime or translated manga or even doujins of.

Oh baby, the Homu-ride rolls on. I'm guessing this guy (girl?!) just loves their lactation so much, it veers into "hentai logic" territory.

Merry Christmas.

Is Micchy actually Mii-chan (I don't actually know Japanese, but I'm going to take a blind stab and guess "みちゃん") in the Japanese version? I was searching for Shinozaki art on danbooru (I know, fuckin' meta) and she's tagged as Mii-chan instead of Micchy.

Well, when Ryuko and Satsuki were revealed to be sisters, didn't half the fanbase just scream "even better!"?

Some of the pages just screamed "completely incomplete" to me but otherwise it's a cute story.

After page 9 I was half-expecting Mamori to pull a reversal for real and go "nononononono, this time I am going to be fucking you, and I insist". That would've really impressed me. Ah well.

Whoa there, man, spoilers!

I don't watch much shounenshit, so I don't really care much for ships within those, but to paraphrase Shiki from The World Ends With You, "yuri's yuri".

I just marathoned the anime and caught up to the manga. It's crazy seeing the contrast between Ikuhara and Morishima. It's like they're both fanfics of each other, yeesh.

And nice credit page (NSFW!)

So Inugami's kinda like Kyouko from Yuru Yuri or Yuzuko from Yuyushiki. The match for Sarutobi then would be Ayano but for some reason I get the impression Sarutobi's just a lot dumber and less successful with her "upstanding" act than Ayano.

NanoFate already did this doujin too http://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/innocent_dreamer#33 But it's NanoFate so it's always worth a reread, or a million.

This seems like a different scan; the kiss at the end is missing!! http://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/innocent_dreamer#39
