Like I said before, doesn't seem to be an implication. Seems to be an outright declaration of "Ayako got the Bad Touch as a child". :(

And why she working two jobs? The night job definitely pays more than her day job.

You ever tried to buy bras for a large size? That don't look like something your gramma would wear? Expensive AF!

Headcanon: Set. Works two jobs to support her mighty ta-tas, both literally and figuratively.

And should be, read the chapter on MD and Holy cow, did Taiyaki really implying child rape (or sexual abuse) for the Mom here ? That's really heavy stuff and that take in consideration we are in an incest manga.

Same, just read it elsewhere. It didn't just imply, it was pretty clearly outright showing she had been abused or assaulted.

The way she spoke about loneliness and then fear, and the imagery that corresponded with those words--a "?" as she looks up from her book on the bench, an image of first a shadow looming over, then a hand caressing her face, and then finally a partial shot of her dress hitting the ground--either she got abused by a stranger or she was systematically abused by someone close to her. The deeper implication is that going through that caused her to shut off/out her feelings and emotions, resulting in the "cool" attitude toward others that she's infamous for; and that she was triggered by seeing Asuka knew how to kiss, causing either a fear Asuka was being abused OR simply bringing back old yet horrible memories and baggage that she just doesn't know how to cope with. Either way, shit just got real heavy.

Watching the train wreck just went from morbid curiosity to dread for me in the 2 minutes it took for me to read and take in this last chapter . Goddamn.

Huh, why did this one get the axe anyway?

I dunno when this was drawn exactly but it was probably during the time when people of Japan were less accepting of yuri and yaoi than they are now. The same reason why there weren't as many long standing yuri serials up until this decade and why even Morinaga Milk's GF was axed.

It's not that. The original manga first released in 2016 and ended in 2017 and it was originally published online. At least, that's according to the Wiki.

So my guess is that that's all they were contracted to release and it just didn't get picked back up again/extended.

I can't read Japanese anywhere well enough to be able to dig for confirmation of my guess, though, so I may be wrong.

Love the little artwork of yuri at the end, great recommends. For those who haven't read Blooming Sequence, go do it, it's really good.

I agree, I liked it too, aside from occasionally being annoyed with the ex situation.

Also Moonlight Garden, Her ShimCheong, Two Birds In Spring.....

what kind of absolute beta hides the sound of their piss? where's that stickman comic of a guy whizzing out a sonic freaking high pressurized jetstream on concrete as his friend watches in emotionless contempt and awe

Um, hi? I guess? I turn on the water if there's even a remote chance of someone hearing me... I don't consider myself especially "beta", however. Just someone with deep-seated privacy issues...

I think it's like that for a lot of people. Men are seen as inherently more perverse/dangerous than women... and really that's not so much the case.

Perverse? Perhaps not more perverse. More dangerous?

Well, we don't exactly see a lot of female mass killers or husband beaters in comparison to the reverse now do we lmao.

Women tend to be more subtle and "under the radar" with what they do, coupled with what is generally a societal accord that women aren't capable, that makes it easier to get away with stuff... but it is definitely a problem. Also female domestic abuse is just woefully underreported and sadly still more widely accepted as somehow okay. But I digress from the greater discussion at hand, which is that lolicon stuff can be pretty questionable at times.

^ I have chronic insomnia courtesy of chronic pain and other nasty stuff, I will be awake for days and days, it's like Hell. Sure my bed is super big and comfy but my brain still goes "lolno". I WISH my biggest sleep concern was having a futon one inch away from my partner's lol

It's weird. I think if a man had wrote this, I'd be disgusted. I might not even have finished it. However, I'm okay with the story, because a woman wrote it.

I think it's like that for a lot of people. Men are seen as inherently more perverse/dangerous than women... and really that's not so much the case. And even knowing that I personally still tend to follow that thought process myself until I literally force myself to stop and rethink.

Still I'd feel a lot less like a pervert rooting for the couple if the girl would have been just a touch older. 13 or 14 would have been good.

I'm 40, almost all yuri I find is based on high school age or young adults... I feel kinda gross and perverted a lot because my age gap is so big. No age gap moe for me, sigh.

Still dont understand why the alien girl is in there.... Dafuq is the point of this random character? Please make point

Apparently she's a carryover character from another of the author's works. Seems he enjoys that kind of thing, she's not the only one (at least so far in the LN).

This comic really is a trove of faces/reaction images. So far this one has been my favorite (yes I edited it a tad please forgive meh):

I have a king sized bed, and I'm single. So, so single... But at least I'm prepared for when the time comes again that I'm not. Until that time, I will continue to enjoy sprawling out all over the place and never hitting the edge...

I did not enjoy having a queen size bed as a single person; it DOMINATED my whole room and made it impossible to buy furniture.

Well to be fair mine does rather dominate my room now, but I live in a small one-bedroom apartment so it's not like I have much space anywhere else, lol. I have enough room in there for a dresser, TV, and 3 guitars so it's good enough for me. Just need to add a girlfriend to the collection in there.

Has the image been flipped or do they wear wedding rings on the right hand in Japan or something?

It is a gay and lesbian thing, to wear the wedding ring (or ring to signify a monogamous relationship in places where gay marriage is not officially permitted) on the right hand instead of the left. :)

let's not forget the anime coming in 2020. I was already hyped for the anime but when I saw our two MC's voice actresses I was as giddy as can be so now I'm super hyped.

I have not looked at any of the information on the anime or seiyuu really... it still feels really weird to me that I'm volunteering a little help to fan-release a yuri that has both a light novel and manga(s) and now suddenly has a license for the light novel release coming next year PLUS an anime. It's very "wow" to me and that wow factor is making me keep myself in suspense. I think the last time I felt so strange was when Cartoon Network picked up the English dub of Inuyasha while I was still actively helping release the fansub every week. (Yes yes I know I just totally dated myself there.)

BUT I DIGRESS.

AdaShima still lives so no worries!

Y'all clearly aren't alone in your frustration with Shimamura doing her best impression of an emotional cinder block. It kind of annoys me too, I will sit here as I'm reading for typos or whatever and go "oh come ON Shima how can you come SO CLOSE to figuring this out and then the next time one of your chapters comes around you've gone back into your shell about all of it?".

Then again I didn't realize/admit I was gay AF till long after high school.... but then again AGAIN I also didn't have some adorable creature totally lusting after me like 24/7 either so really, Shimamura? Just REALLY? lol

Good news is that since Adachi is clearly finally trying to be more assertive--what is it with her and fortune tellers/shaman being her impetus??--it's inevitable that she's going to get her meaning AND her feelings across to Shimamura, probably sooner rather than later at this point. I am looking forward to that time, so I can sit over here and giggle to myself a few days earlier than the rest of you. ~_^

Also low-key looking forward to Hino and Nagafuji hooking up but we'll see what happens there, lol

JUST A REMINDER TO EVERYONE THAT THIS WAS JUST THE END OF THE ORIGINAL MANGA RUN THAT WE ALL ALREADY KNEW ENDED AT THIS POINT

We're still gonna keep releasing the new ("Moke") version as it's released as well as the LN so not all is lost!

That said, I still prefer this softer art style, so I will miss it.

I am low-key loving all the little comments and thoughts about Adachi that Shimamura is spouting without realizing the true nature of their origin. Talking about how she thinks Adachi is pretty, about where she could be and clearly wanting to see her, calling her by her first name, all that stuff that's absolutely going to destroy her mind the moment it all finally snaps into place for her, lol... if anyone deserves a big 'ol slap in the face like that to WAKE UP OMG UR SO GAY it's sleepy Shimamura...
