sooo, this 25 year-old is going to be 'getting involved' with this 16/17 year-old highschool student...because she couldn't get together with her adult senpai who had called her out of nowhere after her divorce, making sure that the audience knows that she's single now for whatever bs reason...and now that she's an adult in the past figures that it's probably easier to just groom her child senpai...am I getting this, right?

Her Senpai who in her timeline didn't need her to save her from almost being run over?

yeah, I'm gonna leave that one be...

Or maybe she's just in a coma after hitting her head from her failed masturbation, having questionable sex dreams. Then she gets woken up from a kiss via her "prince charming" senpai. Options, options lol

Also controversy of the content and the like aside, I don't think the creator realizes that squirting =/= peeing...or maybe they do. Still very strange.

I’ve seen this happen a lot in hentai. I think it’s just piss fetishists finding an excuse to put piss in, since it’s technically possible to pee during an orgasm, but it’s not nearly as common as hentai artists depict.

Yeah I think it's very likely just an excuse to include pee for their own fetish reasons.

Uh...I'm a little late to this, but why is the age censored...?

Because the age is controversial, and the author doesn't want to actually say it. They're basically saying "use your imagination" haha

^Poor in their wallets but rich with love in their hearts

Hmm, yeah it definitely seems like "Hentai with a plot" alright haha

my money was on shoujo kishidan x knight tale, the whole chivarly thing was new, cool and interesting. It had a lot of fan service but it felt like a proyect born out of love, sadly i don´t think the manga is coming back anytime soon so that´s that

Yeah it seems like the series had some troubles, which is unfortunate. I'd love more knight Yuri honestly.

i don´t wanna imagine what a shit show will be if people find out about yuzumori san or itou hachi´s manga

i think there´s some progress into make yuri more accesible the fact that stuff like other side panic and fragtime (and maybe happy sugar life) got an anime adaptations fills me with hope that maybe someday stuff like citrus, NetsuzouTrap , sakura trick won´t be what people expect of yuri

Ah I personally think Happy Sugar Life is really messed up, and yeah a lot of people would be pretty unhappy with authors like Itou Hachi. Though Yaoi from what I know has controversial content more frequently than Yuri. Anyways I hope there's some good unannounced Yuri and Yaoi anime works on the nearby horizon.

Absurdly cute and wholesome. I'm die thank you forever.

Not sure what Justice was baking in the oven, but it appears she found the perfect snack elsewhere.

Worth every penny.

Oh my those hickeys, somebody has been having fun

More D4DJ is always appreciated, thank you!

Oh yes the weekly dose of "My Arknight's Depression Can't Possibly Be This Cute!"

(And this is genuinely sweet, I love it a lot.)

^Yaoi has also always been a lot bigger than Yuri in general, even before Yuri on Ice (and well the anime adaption of Banana Fish). Way more of a seller, and the Fujoshi fandom is a way bigger force than anything Yuri fans have.

I don't think Yuri can currently compete with Yaoi in general, but I think in order to reach wider popularity levels Yuri needs some anime that aren't purely romance focused. I really love Yagate Kimi Ni Naru and Adachi To Shimamura, but they're both romance centric shows and I think it makes them more niche. Banana Fish is a crime drama with gay romance, and Yuri on Ice is a sports show with gay romance, so there is something there for viewers who aren't into the romance in both series. Which definitely helped with the popularity of both, because from what I know purely romance Yaoi often does very well but not nearly as well as those two.

It'd be cool if we got an epic sports anime with a lesbian romance, a crime drama, epic action fantasy, something along those lines. I don't think they'll be able to really compete with Yaoi still, especially the world wide popularity of Yuri on Ice, but I think we'd see a boon in popularity if Yuri anime branches into more genres. Only downside is the more popular something gets the more awful the fandom tends to get as well haha

Edit: Also something that really helped Yuri On Ice? Pro Ice Skaters were into the show as well, they spread word of mouth and did videos about it. The love from these celebs of the sports world really gave it reach even outside of anime fandoms.

Yes, yes, she'll make a great wife for Liane. Also I hope Ruri quickly beats up the fool that dares get between her and her time with her small angel wife.

Yes! Best ending!!!

I think you mean breast ending

That pun is...unbreastable...okay I'll see myself out...

I enjoy delicate, slow burn stories. Most of my relationships have been like that, so it's strange for me to see it be called "unrealistic". Passion looks different for different people, after all. Obviously the premise of this story is a little unusual, but the feeling of it, and of friendships which slowly become something more, is very familiar to me, and I think this author captures it quite lovingly.

Also, really appreciate these scanlators and their attention to detail.

I think there's always going to be someone that calls a relationship unrealistic. As you said passion looks different depending on the person, and I think lot of the "realistic/unrealistic" aspects in stories are ultimately subjective funnily enough. Especially with romance and relationships in general.

I also say this as someone who agrees with you and enjoys the slow burn of this series.

I feel like this sort of relaxed pacing is very much an Usio Shio thing, she really has a knack for creating these kind of stories that just flow in a slow but very natural and mature way. It's part of what makes them unique to me as well, there's no shortage of bubbly and energetic manga (which are cool too), but her stories are just a bit different, making them feel more life-like

Yeah I also think the slow flow of it feels natural. Of course fast relationships can also work, but for these two this pace feels good to me. Just depends on the couple and the author I think, and I enjoy all different kinds Yuri so I'm glad that there's a mix of slow and fast paced series out there.

^Hate seems like an oddly strong emotion for a very inoffensive series like this imo haha

Also too each their own of course, but personally I think this series has solid character writing and I love a good slow burn. So I really want a second season, and I think it's one of the best Yuri anime/series out there. I'd actually say it's one of my top 3 favorite Yuri anime.

^Lmao that sounds like it'll hold up in court. "Your honor I'm totally not gay, I was just trying to get the...uhh...errm...Doritos...out...of...her...erm...mouth...with...my...uh...tongue...yeah..."

@Linterdiction Eh honestly not that weird, and I mean the fanart of this ship is always nice.

Pretty sure she'd also check off that "lewd stuff" box without hesitation.

This was a very wholesome chapter, thank you for the translation! As I thought she's just stubborn and doesn't want to be a burden, I've seen people IRL that act that way with their family and partner. People need to learn to rely on loved ones more often.

I’m really enjoying the pacing. It’s not ‘one-shot’ levels of falling-in-love but also not so slowburn that you start to get bored.

I'm also enjoying the pacing in all honesty. The story so far feels very relaxed, and we're getting build up with the characters and their relationship bit by bit.

^ Some thoughts on that. Assuming the theory is accurate I'd like to think in a world full of magic that there's some way to undo it, or a loophole. It pretty much depends on if the writer(s) wants to make things depressing or not, since the limits of magic power in a fantasy setting comes down to what the writer(s) want and their imagination. I love Lisa and here's hoping that we see a happy conclusion to her story.

@Missigno Lmao maybe they'll allow it.

"It is a symbol of love. Papa often does it for Mama."

Holy shit! The gay can spread from straight people? Surely the pandemic of our age.

"Straight people", uh huh, sure...

I was referring to Mama and Papa? Though they could still be LGBT.

Oh sorry I misunderstood. I thought you were joking around and were saying the "totally straight" MC kissing her friend spread the gay to her :P

That aside, maybe the parents are bi or something? Hmm lol

So far I'm loving the series, thanks for the translation!

The former idol cliche is super overdone at this point but I just love adult yuri stories . Count me in !

Out of all my years reading Yuri I don't think I've seen the former idol plot beat "that" many times. At least not in Yuri specifically, so personally I'm fine with it. Also I think with how being an Idol is a big dream in Japan, and there's a often major problems with being an Idol, that a former Idol narrative makes sense for a Japanese series to have. Kind of reminds of the "American Dream" not working out type of narrative in American media. Both types of narratives are still relevant in current day.

It's just a trope I've seen too many times for my liking, not just in the yuri genre specifically.

I can understand that. But I think it'd be a bit unfair if every trope other genres beat to death becomes off limits to yuri because they didn't get to it in time.

I think the best example of this is Isekai. Basically something that started as a trope and became so huge that it became it's own genre. Everyone and their mom knows it's been one of the biggest genres for some years now, if not the biggest. It's only semi-recently that we've tapped into Isekai with female leads, and also Yuri focused ones. If Isekai was off limits because it's so common we wouldn't have gotten amazing Yuri series like "I Favor The Villainess".
