SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Just utter perfection. A cute and submissive Maho and probably the best Queen Darjeeling-sama i've seen in a doujinshi. I need more stuff with Darjeeling as the too, i'm addicted XD

Man, this one was a bit too close to NTR for my liking

I'm very sensitive to NTR but i think this is far from it. The link with Kenji just seems like one of those vague 'friendships' between childhood friends. Not a normal friendship but far from lovers either. So it's far from NTR.

I want to question who added the cheating tag. In my opinion, this doesnt need it all. Perhaps its the result of someone's over-reaction. This feels more like harem or just lesbian orgy than cheating.

It's very corny, yes, but i like it a lot. Sometimes it is nice to read something like this.

This is so sweet and diabeetus-inducing fluff. Sometimes, innocent fluff is nice for a change.

So cute, so fluffy. Hope it gets a sequel.

Say, would this qualify for a reversal tag? that last page kinda feels like it.

After having put this series aside for a good long while, due to sometimes huge gaps between releases and the occasional frustration with melodrama, i finally came back to it and decided to read just the last chapter after reading some of the recent comments in this thread.

My opinion on this series:
Yuzu - I love her. She is just such a great character and she's my favorite.
Most of the side characters - great, especially Harumin
The ideas behind the story - great
The themes - great
First half execution of the story - great
Second half execution of the story - downhill from bad to worse.
Final Chapter - I really wanted Yuzu to slap Mei and go ballistic at her so Mei would see sense but, alas it was not to be. the textless pages were annoying. The last 7-8 pages were strangely satisfying though despite the obvious rushness of the last few chapters.
Mei - Could have been done better. the last 7-8 pages had Mei at her best in the whole series.

Overall: Great idea and beginning but later execution was rushed and flawed. Could have been finished better with another volume or two and a bit less melodrama.

My hopes for Citrus+: Something more happy, fluffy and slice-of-life-ish with as little drama as possible.

I think they are as great as each other. @Lewdholder yeah, that's a good example.

The art itself is just... perfectly divine. instant favourite

I normally like this sort of thing but... i just dont feel a pull from this one that i usually do from stuff i like. There's obvious promise there but whether it can pull it off? shrugs

Maybe it's because nothing much has happened yet so the hook hasnt occurred. I guess i'll give it a shot if the chapters arent far apart in releases.

Seems like Chapter 3 confirms that she isn't a succubus. The nurse is the succubus. But it's not like our MC doesn't have the skills to fumble herself into looking like one. At this rate she will definitely have her own yuri harem, considering she just made the cyclops girl come. The nurse accepts the MC as a succubus, and I hope the MC harem will include the nurse in the future. It would be awesome if our human MC could make a succubus fall for her.

I think this could also support the idea that she's a half. What did you mean by 'The nurse accepts the MC as a succubus?' Could it be because she is actually a half and the nurse is able to sense that somehow?

putting aside any tropes, just as a relatively moral human being what Ryouko did was extremely horrible and she is, rightly, a bitch.

I'd go so far as to argue that potentially it skirted the borderline of rape because, despite not directly saying no, she didnt exactly say yes either. Not exactly proper consent if she was too confused to say yes or no before the emotions fried her brain for a little

This thread was very helpful as i've been having the same problem.

It's very cool that dynasty has no ads whatsoever. I've seen a good few sites lately who have ads but force people to turn off their adblockers (despite the fact the sites use spam levels of ads) and ban you if you dont.

I mean, it's not that hard to get. The hetero version of the trope is as old as literature. You know what I'm talking about? The story where the female lead claims to hate this guy who is super handsome, cool, rich, popular and has dozens of sexy women at his feet... she hates him, hates, hates, totally hates... then one day he confesses his love to her and asks her to marry him, and she fly-glomps him and starts kissing him. Yeah, cuz she didn't really hate him, what she hated was the fact that he didn't pay attention to her; once that's fixed, all's well in the world and they can start making babies. What we have here in "Useless Princesses" is a variant of this old trope on a yuri note. Kurokawa doesn't really hate those haughty, beautiful, arrogant, sexy, snobby alpha bitch princesses. She loves them and puppy-adores them and crushes on them like crazy. What she hates about them is that they won't return her feelings! That's why she has these (seemingly) contradictory sentiments of "I hate her, she's a bully!" and "I want to protect her shining smile!"

It seems quite clear to me that Kurokawa is a little lesbian in the making, who may or may not completely understand herself yet. Even her love of BL/yaoi fits in the picture. (It's a genre for girls by girls, and the characters are usually projections of female fantasies, to a point that it has been described as "lesbian fantasies in male drag" by some researchers...)

The one character I myself find kind of puzzling is Fujishiro. Okay, so being dumped by her trophy boyfriend was a big shock, sure... and being comforted by Kurokawa was nice, yeah... but going from there to "I'm-a dumping all my old friends and I'm-a relinquishing my queen bee position and from now on I'll live with Kurokawa in a cozy little hole in a quiet corner of the classroom, just the two of us, forevah!" is, like, kinda too big of a leap... obviously there's something in her psychology that escapes me...

I think you are on to something with this. A lot of people forget that love and hate arent opposites but instead two sides of the same coin. They are both strong emotions and one can easily turn into the other like what i think is happening in this case. Any hate Kurokawa has/had towards Fujishiro, even if hidden deep inside, is converting into love for her over time. Its also something that Kurokawa isnt exactly aware of herself yet despite gushing over Fujishiro's looks.

I've heard that sort of thing in discussions a few times but the voracity of it is unknown to me. I definitely think that Kurokawa is likely a lesbian who just hasnt.... 'awoken' to her feelings on the whole thing.

I find Fujishiro's character complex but done well. Someone up the thread suggested that, shown through the first chapter, Fujishiro's world view is warped and shaped by societal pressures which had led her to being a gyaru and a bully. The drastic change of going from queen-bee gyaru to clingy outcast friend of Kurokawa suggests that she seeks approval and somewhere that she feels she can be herself. This relationship with Kurokawa will also be the spark that eventually opens her realization that she likes girls, just like i think it will spark for Kurokawa. Its all just a matter of time til the spark occurs.
I think she finds something attracting and positive from the first event where Kurokawa was the one to comfort her after the break-up with two-timer. We dont know anything really about her past so i can only guess but perhaps there is something there that is likely responsible for her extremes of emotion and relationships.

With manga sometimes the artist draws 40 year olds like they're 60 or 60 year olds like they're 40. So... it's hard to tell without more character references the actual age. But they did draw her a bit too old looking for my taste, lol. It's like a 65 year old with a 30 year old.

I second this. The older one seemed to be drawn to look too old, like she's in her sixties. Age gap adult yuri is generally great but this one... i just cant like this one. The story itself is very good, just the art of the older woman hurts it in my eyes.

I love artwork like this where Darjeeling gives off a 'queen-sama' vibe.
@spiels i agree with you. It'd be nice to see an animated Darjeeling with her hair down.

I loved this story. Short and sweet but potential for a longer story.

I think the tattoos just complement her natural beauty. It feels like both the choice of imagery and the locations of the tattoos were very carefully considered so as to not detract from her looks.

I think there isnt much tattoos because of the cultural taboo around tattoos for japanese and associating them with 'rough' people or gangsters.

I love this one. Was opposite to what i expected but that makes it cute.

Carnivore-chan looks so innocent yet is so dirty inside. I'd love to see a manga or doujin with these two. XD
