She stole milk! Is there no boundry this girl is unwilling to cross?!

Thankfully, she left money in exchange. If she had actually stolen that, I would have immediately dropped this; some boundaries are n e v e r to be crossed, not even in fiction.

I don't know if I'll continue reading this....

The best part in height gap couples is *obviously* the difference in the bending of the elbow when holding hands (example). I mean, there are other benefits too, but the bending of the elbow should, without a doubt, be one of the main points of focus. And then the author just goes and adds these yukata sleeves, concealing all the elbow action...!

Authors who don't appreciate the things that need to be appreciated frustrate me.

text lol
This is why I love Dynasty

I really want to read more yuri manga with girls with wavy hair, like Kawaruokoto, Mizuno & Chayama, or Witch Meets Knight. Thanks!

The only one that came to my mind was Dark Forest, White Road
Though I suppose her hair is more... floofy, rather than wavy
That, aaannd it's not really the kind of lighthearted story that you would normally read for the hairstyle lol
(emphasis on "normally" here, cause, admittedly, I did actually read it once just because I liked the characters' designs lol)

Sato did nothing wrong

Except, like, killing a couple of people and kidnapping a child and stuff lol

Jokes aside, I agree that her friend wasn't really that good of a friend. But it's better to, you know, cut ties with them or something rather than kill them XD
(though, that is quite an effective way to cut ties...)

To be honest, this series wasn't really my cup of tea. I don't usually enjoy stories where literally everyone turns out to be mentally unstable for some reason lol. I've read and even enjoyed other series with a bunch of crazy characters (Kitanai Kimi ga Ichiban Kawaii being a good example) but somehow this one just didn't work for me, it felt too exaggerated.

The one thing I reaaaally liked though, was the ending. It was the most perfect ending the author could give for me. I really appreciated the fact that Shio didn't go back with her brother, even after Sato's death. For the greater part of the series she was more confused and helpless than anything (which makes sense given that she was a kid), but I liked that she chose to stay with Sato, even after her memory cleared up. She had moved on and she had already found love in someone else. Also, I should mention here, it was pretty cool how we saw Shio grow up in the duration of the series, both physically and mentally: she started as an innocent and naive little girl and grew to be a person capable of thinking and deciding for herself.

This comment section crossed the boundary of funny to mildly disturbing for me.
And I could probably say the same about the manga (and a couple more I've stumbled upon by this author). Soo..
Goodbye people, and goodbye author...?

I guess I should have expected it, considering other discussions I've come across (and especially those with even the slightest amount of het and/or bisexual content) but somehow I still wasn't prepared. Just what is with people always dismissing bisexuality as a phase, or a conversion process? With people getting a hundred times angrier when the mc cheats on her gf with a man, or with guys saying they wouldn't mind getting cheated on if it was with a woman? I get that the story wasn't supposed to be taken seriously, but the comments here definitely point to some serious issues.....

^ You know, I had been misreading the title as "Accept My First Love" (for months, even after reading it twice), which... didn't really seem odd since Takebe was Soramori's first love, right? So yeah, these comments were how I noticed that it was actually "Accept my Fist of Love", which is, like, a hundred times better and funnier as a title? How did I even not notice? I get the "fist" turned to "first" but I just went and omitted a whole word there?! lol

Anyway, this was a pretty nice manga, even with the wrong title lol. I couldn't get enough of Takebe's scowls.
And yes, I did feel like I understood asexual people a little bit better, so that was neat.

the original was an ok anime the plot was poorly developed and the bad guys were subpar but the relationship was solid. There was this will they-won´t they feeling about them , there was some hints of himeko being in love wih chikane but since chikane didn´t have the raw strenght nor the mecha (like souma) it felt like she was being left behind despite her efforts to support himeko .So the end was a rollercoaester of emotions
without the context the characters feel a bit empy and now that their relationship seems to be set in stone the story feels kind of boring

I actually decided to watch the anime after all, and I'd say I pretty much agree with you. The original was still quite lacking in terms of plot, the villains were indeed completely unconvincing, it really didn't need a "long lost brother" (like, seriously...?) and, heck, even if I liked mecha (which I don't), the battles were excruciatingly repetitive. But the relationship between the main leads felt way more real in that one, I think. Also, I kinda enjoyed the whole love triangle with Souma. Even though triangles aren't my thing, and Souma annoyed the hell out of me with all his shouting, I felt that it kinda worked and gave greater justification for Chikane's angst and denial.

I love Chikane and Himeko but I wish the author didn’t just solely rely on the fact that we(some of us not all) love the two girls from the original anime. The plot, the progression, the character development is just not there. This could be so much better than it is.

That's the feeling I got too: before watching the original, I just couldn't get a feel for the characters, it was as though the author was expecting me to already know them. And now I can clearly see how they decided to remove a lot of the crap that had been crammed into the original (mecha), only there doesn't seem to be anything left. Also, changing the perspective to Chikane was a fresh idea on its own, since it's not often we get the cool black-haired girl's perspective, rather than the bubbly useless light-haired one's, but this unfortunately removed the benefit of being the protagonist from Himeko, thus reducing her to simply being bubbly and useless....

Is the diary a ploy to convince Chikane to kill Himeko in order to fulfill their purpose and serve as an inversion of THAT scene/plan in Kannazuki?

That does seem very plausible. Though, on the matter of THAT scene, may I say, why the heck was Chikane simply excused after doing something like that?! Yes, obviously Himeko also liked her, and I get that the writer probably just wanted to have the plot twist of the plot twist with "oh, she wasn't actually evil, she just needed to make Himeko hate her", which... no.

PS. Sorry for writing an essay

Umm... What...? I'm confused..
What happened here? Did Himeko really answer...? No, right? I'll assume it was only her imagination, since it didn't seem like she was really there, but...

The next panel shows an empty doorway.

True, I just thought, maybe she came and left real quickly...? lol

...Please forget you ever read this, it's embarrassing
This is why I should pay more attention to what I write before commenting, geez...!

I think the fact that I'm not very invested in this story played a great part in how easily I accepted such a stupid thought as a possibility...

Everyone has light colored long hair so I keep getting confused on who’s who. But I remember Yozora is sleeping bag chan who was low key a mega hottie underneath that sleeping bag. And I feel tricked into reading this chapter lol I wanted to see Nekozaki and Mikoto make up.

Yeah, I kind of understand that feeling... It's like we were promised a closure on this issue in the previous chapter, but then got some random side story... which wouldn't necessarily be bad, if it was done in a way so that the change of focus didn't feel so out of place. I mean, it wasn't a terrible chapter or anything, was it? But it was terribly placed in the story.

Also, about the hottie, Yozora, I actually liked her better with short hair, as she was in Todo no Tsumari no Uchouten. It was just cuter, idk. Short and fluffy. But that might just be me.

Short hair Yozora appreciation.

Umm... What...? I'm confused..
What happened here? Did Himeko really answer...? No, right? I'll assume it was only her imagination, since it didn't seem like she was really there, but...

All of this feels kind of disjointed. And I'm referring to the series as a whole, not this chapter alone. The author is jumping from one thing to another and the progression of the plot is way too rushed. Btw, was the previous chapter an extra? Cause it certainly gave that impression and, if it wasn't, it really wasn't a good idea to just.. randomly throw that in there...
I haven't read the original (or how many other remakes of their story have been made, I've no idea XD), so I wouldn't know if it was any better. But this isn't very good...? I'm having a hard time following the plot, which... is a bit ironic since there doesn't seem to be much plot....

Whatever, I just wanna see them kill each other, *ahem*, see how it ends.

me, completely focusing on the wrong thing: why she sleepin with her accessories on

Gotta have the drip while sleeping

I really was thinking, "what kind of psychopath sleeps wearing dangling earrings?" while reading these chapters.

I know someone who does that! And they most likely (though it's not confirmed) aren't a psychopath!
So... It happens I guess.
Now if we're talking about the hairclips tho..That's a whole other level of insanity

(Actually the person I know says the clasp is a bit hard to open and close, so they avoid removing them)

Hmm... I like this so far. Their interactions are interesting and fun. Qi Fei is kind of a pain to deal with, isn't she? But I'd say she's cute.
Actually, aren't they both a pain...?

Chapter 2:
Ge Qu: Don't bother me for meaningless—
Ah, crap, did I go too far? Let me fix that
Don't talk to me.
...Nice one girl

Now, why the hell could she play at the level (or even higher) of the other players? Even though she hadn't had any practice for like, more than a year...? It's not like I didn't expect it, I just kinda felt bad for the girls that had probably been working their asses off during that time.... XD

It was funny how other people thought the protagonist was a guy, cause I thought she looked a lot like a guy as well. Actually... and this is probably a liiiittle bit weird.. here, at the panel where she says "Were you about to use that excuse to blow me off?", she kind of reminded me of an uncle of mine (whom I haven't seen in years btw).... And unfortunately I kept thinking about it later on, when we saw her from a profile view o.O

I actually went and found pictures of that uncle just to prove to myself that she didn't look like him lol. Needless to say, she did not, in fact, look anything like my uncle...
(Oh, and just to be clear, my uncle does not have blue hair or golden eyes –like, in case someone got that impression)

(Edit: crap, I got the protagonist's name wrong!)

I really like this so far. It had already piqued my interest from the first chapter and this one definitely didn't disappoint; I'll surely continue following this series until the subtext is eating at my insides every chapter (yes, I've been reading Living with my brother's wife. and I have an idea where this "subtext" will go, nowhere).

I'm glad Kanon changed her attitude, seeing how Saki genuinely wanted to be her... friend. Yeah that.
May I also add here:

Is it me or the main character seems already aware of her own orientation?

Idk, I thought the pretty girl was her gay awakening, but it seems that she had a little crush on her piano teacher, isn't it??

I think she had a crush on the piano teacher, but might not be entirely aware of it being a crush and what that means. So she might not even realize that her feelings were due to love, and that she's gay.

She might not, but her mother sure does~ lol

I love this author's artstyle, though I have to admit reading other works of the same author can make me kind of biased towards the characters. In this case positively, but there have been instances where I couldn't help but dislike a character simply because they reminded me of one I disliked from another work of the author. It's a good thing that at least Kanon doesn't look or act like any other of Kuzushiro's characters I've seen. (But Saki sometimes overlaps with Shino in my mind.... Well, at least I didn't dislike her, so that is something XD)

I love how she just talked about this over the phone lol
Their relationship is so great and it's indeed very refreshing to see the mother feel remorseful about pushing her views on romance on her daughter in previous years.

It is also quite interesting to see the contrast between the two leads and their relationship with their parents: one is completely open and didn't hesitate a moment to share her feelings with her mum, while the other is tightly closeted (understandably, seeing how her mother acts) and heavily restricted by her parents. I'm curious to see how the author will continue to explore these dynamics in the following chapters.

It's been quite some time that I've been thinking I'd like to read a depressing story, where the couple never gets together or wastes decates before getting together due to societal norms and/or unfortunate circumstances. So I'd been looking for stories with maybe an older setting, secretly hoping that they would have a tragic ending, but being unable to ask for such stories specifically, because I didn't want the ending to be spoiled. And, well, almost every story I came across actually had a happy ending (which I didn't mind of course, I just had this lingering desire to read a depressing story).

And here comes this, promising me exactly what I wished for from the very first chapter... And I can't. Handle it!

I'm kind of excited at the same time, though. I really hope this will crush my heart exactly as I wanted and deserve. I thoroughly enjoyed the other works of the author on the site; they have a sort of mysterious and unsettling atmosphere that I don't come across often in yuri.

YES! DELINQUENT YURI NEVER DISAPPOINTS!
(I've read, like, two more delinquent yuri series but whatever)

Anyway, really enjoying this so far. While reading the first volume it kinda felt like one of those series that continue endlessly without ever having any actual progress...? But I was very pleasantly surprised with the more recent chapters.

I really liked the failed confession we got from the side couple.
LET ME EXPLAIN, I SWEAR IN NOT SOME SADIST THAT WANTS KISHI TO SUFFER

I did root for Kishi; the thing is, from the start, or at least very soon, I got the impression that her feelings weren't reciprocated. I don't think that Himekawa likes Hana, but it was pretty obvious that she saw Kishi as a friend. I'd actually be a bit disappointed if the author had her accept the confession, cause it'd feel like they hadn't given any proper thought when writing her character in the previous chapters.

Also, the fact that the main characters are actually in a very similar situation makes it very interesting to see how things will turn out for them. You freaking out at the realisation of how fragile their relationship could be seems to me as a clear sign that she does wish for them to be something other than friends (since that was what disrupted the balance of their friends' relationship); though I wouldn't mind the friendship route honestly.

I've come to really like You as a protagonist. She's kind of closed-off and meddling and insecure, but somehow that makes it very liberating when she takes the first step to share her feelings.

Heavier unrequited stuff aside, I kinda hate riddles like the one we just saw. They basically just boil down to "guess which way the creator wants you to interpret the riddle" instead of having an actually intuitive answer.

I love how you just skipped all talk about the heavier unrequited stuff to comment this and yes, somebody had to say that!

At first I thought the point was to confuse you into thinking that the elephants were also going to the river. Then I realised that the catch was actually "all elephants saw the same two monkeys", but. Where is that specified in the narration? From what I read it could just as well have been that each elephant was moving separately and came across a different pair of monkeys, or even that some of the elephants saw the same monkeys and others saw different. There is nothing in this riddle that would make either answer more correct. In fact, perhaps the only "correct" answer would be to point out the incompleteness of the riddle itself.

Angry Mikoto looked cool. Plus, the ponytail~

The fierce d e t e r m i n a t i o n leading up to that pathetic service was a cruel reminder of my volleyball games in PE class...

I loved the mandatory the troubled character figures out the solution to their problem, with people screaming in the background, all while the ball is still floating weightlessly in the air. It just fits so well in this manga! XD

I thought this was a fun chapter. Yes, it was ridiculous, but that's what I expect to see from this and I'd say it was done just fine this time~

"I've already heard Haruma, Toribami, Seto and Kouda are participating"
Ah cool, just give me a moment to remember just who in the world those people were? lol

Thankfully Haruma and Toribami were mentioned later, so that's a fifty percent success I guess XD

Anyway, despite this coming out only bimonthly and me forgetting... ahem, a couple of details, I'm really interested in seeing where it goes and I'm quite intrigued with this Shion issue, I'm looking forward to seeing how it will play out.

if you put it like that i gues shiho does work wonders as a twirling mustache villain if she had more personality and style she might as well be a clasic disney villain

Hahaha, you think so?
To be honest I thought she felt very much like a twirling mustache villain at the beginning, when she first appeared just to stir up trouble. I don't think that having her be a not very good person means that she doesn't have a personality...? Either way, I'd say that the depth of her character is within my expectations for this manga.

A manga which is about got stuck in a game where killing your classmates in order to survive and mc is always being protected by the transfer student that turned out to be her sister. Sorry this is the best description I can give.

Shoujo Shikkaku?

Oh wow, somehow this was the chapter I needed to finally give a damn about Shiho and this whole arc. So it turns out that she only took up the guitar out of spite?! "I couldn't have what I wanted because of you, so I'll take what you wished for but couldn't have instead"?

So she's always been such an incredibly selfish and arrogant and petty person! I'm really, reaaaally happy to see that. I'm just so tired of authors giving sappy backstories to antagonists in order to justify their actions, that it feels so refreshing to finally get a story where they remain incredibly selfish and arrogant and petty.

Yes, it is understandable that a child who has been made to believe that they will forever be the best would crumble at the realisation that they are not. But that doesn't change the fact that Shiho was never able to let go of this grudge. She's still prideful and arrogant. This chapter really gave us a more complete image of who Shiho is and why she does what she does. Even her lashing out at Aki and quitting the band takes a new perspective: the reason clearly involved jealousy towards Yori, but while I used to believe that she was hurt because she likes Aki (which is still a possibility), now we also see where her inability to accept defeat stems from. Shiho felt like she was losing to Yori, and she couldn't accept that.

This chapter reignited my dislike for this character, but it also managed to finally spark some genuine interest towards her in me.

I can't skip on mentioning THE ART here. I really liked the couple of pages with Shiho struggling to surpass Kyou: Shiho's anguish, as well as the hurt in Kyou's expression...
Also, Shiho's expression here was gorgeous!
The sort of "villainous" expression that we often got in the past felt artificial to me, like the author (or maybe Shiho herself...?) was trying a bit too hard to show that she was the antagonist. But her expression here shows so much more than that. It maintains an air of arrogance, but at the same time it gives a sense of distance and loneliness, like she has a lot more in her heart than she lets Hima know.

I know Ai's long passionate rambles are a thing but I don't know if I can keep with it.

Yeah, Ai's rambling can get a bit tiring? sometimes, but I have to admit I really enjoyed her passionate speach in this one. I don't know why, but I found the idea of her shouting like that in the middle of the crowd very funny.

It is a weird manga and the only logical person is probably that one coworker that has to put up with Ai's creepy otaku nonsense, but it's still a fun read to me. Weird, but overall entertaining.

True power of pleșcăviță and sarmale.

I wonder if google translate is lying to me,
But this was so random and funny the way I read it, thanks
