My guess is he's just a high-school kid who lives in the same building and recognizes them as the lovey-dovy couple he ends up following home fairly frequently. He might also recognize them from their media work.

So, I can't help but notice that the tag is for all three of them, but the one in the back seems unmarked. Does that mean she's the one who went wild?

I am concerned. On the one hand, it is very pretty. On the other, Romeo and Juliet was not a romance, so comparing the main couple to them is not a good sign, for at least one of two distinct reasons.

idk why but this last chapter hit me differently. Maybe because I've just woke up. But it seems a bit hotter than the others.

Gyaru took a more active, and pro-active, role this time, rather tan always being on the receiving end and putting up halfhearted denials. We saw a bit of that in the last chapter, but it was still mostly Megane on the attack.

It being demonstrably mutual is nice for this type of fluffy smut, even if it was already clear that they both enjoyed it and each other.

The author did a great job as shown in this thread; everyone got such heated reactions. I personally wished this was longer. Did they make it through? Did she really change for the better? Or was this a terrible end? Ugh.

I hope someone could pick up some of this mangaka’s works. Too good to pass up! And the credits! I hope you guys are okay!

Look at the way Kanon changed herself to get back with Serena and then look at the actual problems Serena had. The two don't line up at all. Instead, she changed herself to look like the idol Serena initial commented on, because she focused on Serene paying attention to that idol instead of her. Similarly, at the end she's talking about how Serena is the only one in her life, while focusing on the attention she gets paid, but Serena was just lamenting her inability to hang out with friends or go to events because Kanon wanted her to solely focus on her.

Put another way, Kanon made drastic changes to herself to regain Serena's attention, but made no effort to improve the parts problems that Serena actually cared about, despite spending plenty of time discussing the grief she caused.

I like to believe people can change and improve, but this is an example of someone very energetically remaining the same.

This feels very different from Lin's normal art, but it's still very recognizable. Also, still very good.

Nice pic :) But isnt it Marisa who wears big lace up boots normally not Reimu?

This artist has there own take on Reimu. Among other things, she's portrayed with darker skin.

Just a reminder, doing exercises builds muscle. Doing squats might help you tone your legs, but it won't make them thinner.

I suspect there's a strap-on in their future.

I feel it's worth pointing out that Vesperia might be better, if you're looking for yuri. It has a bit of a slow start, but I'd argue it's also the better game, once it gets going, and Rita is definitely the better mage.

UHHH OFFICER I CAN EXPLAIN

My head cannon is that this is like Gundam: The ages are a complete lie and everything makes more sense if you assume each of the characters are a few years older. That still leaves them too young, but 16 is less bad.

At this point I'm just waiting for the day that Mihoyo decides to make these two canon

Snow bunny quickly rose to the top of my ships after that trailer lol

Eh. I normally have pretty decent yuri goggles, but the "dance with a sinner" line sounded more like a threat, when I heard it in the trailer.

i mean you don't use the same tie everyday normally, isn't it okay if she has 2 of them? just give her the fucking gift

I suspect it's more a matter of timing. Giving her a hairband right after she just bought one, with another friends encouragement, feels less special then giving her one while she's hesitating over which one to get. She's also probably worried about looking like she just copied Hana.

Now, realistically, Hime probably wouldn't view it that way and would probably appreciate the gesture for what it is, but teenagers and unfounded insecurities might as well be synonyms.

I can really sympathize with Shima here. Mornings are evil. Fortunately, unlike Shima, I've managed to arrange my schedule so I can avoid them.

and vastly different lifespans.

Why does everyone always get hung on this, as if real mortal people couples somehow magically perished simultaneously and didn't have to cope with grief just the same?

A lot of it is that humans have roughly the same lifespan so they can generally have one lifelong partner and be old when they die, stay celibate until their own death or at most have one remarriage after becoming a widow(er).
If two types of beings have radically different lifespans then the older lived one either grieve their short-lived lover for most of their life or get so many serious lovers that it's highly debatable how "serious" the longer-lived being is about them and if they are not just short flings that only the short-lived partners are deceived into thinking is the love story of a lifetime.

For me, the issue is more about aging. The maid will slowly grow older and less capable while the vampire stays exactly the same, both of them forced to watch as their lover drifts further and further away while still remaining at their side. It's like a romance where one partner is guaranteed to suffer from a progressively debilitating illness, but where said illness wouldn't be an issue if they dated someone else.

typically vampirisation is supposed to take place only if you are killed by a vampire bite

I've heard that you can only become a vampire if, after they drink your blood, you drink their blood. You usually drink it from the wrist. You exchange blood basically.
It's appeared in most stories I've read about vampires, and maybe it's the case here.

So, the maid should be fine. :)

It depends pretty heavily on what version of vampires you're dealing with. Some require you to drink their blood, others just require them to drink yours or even just take a single bite. There are also versions where its dependent on some quality in the mortal, rather than a specific action, or completely disconnected from the vampire (possibly requiring some sort of ritual or practice).

As with any fictional species, the specifics are determined by the author and little else.

This follows the same template as the Mistress and Cat Maid one, but it's a little bit more concerning, what with the constant blood drinking and vastly different lifespans. I know it's just supposed to be fluff that you don't think about too heavily, but I can't help it.

I think the chapter order is messed up too. I think 1-3 is after 4-8.

It was not.

The chapter titles seem to be correct, but the order they're linked in seems to be messed up; so chapter 8 has a next chapter button that leads to chapter one and chapter 2 has no next chapter button.

And that right there is why I will never ever drink Boba, why da fuuk would you want a drink with marbles in it?

I wouldn't really compare them to marbles, since they aren't hard. Mostly, they're just fun to chew and they hold some flavor.

Aya was really unprofessional as a journalist: she already had biases against the Myouren Temple before writing her newspaper and really scary as a youkai. Well, that's Aya being Aya.

Isn't the Bunbunmaru basically a rag?

That said, Aya's reporter getup is a special kind of cool. I want more manga with girls in suits and cabbie caps.

Wait, what was the context for this in the show? It doesn't look like bugs was cross-dressing or anything like that at the time?

I haven't kept up with Genshin since launch, but why is there a character named End User License Agreement?

First Lovecraft and now Stoker? Both are unexpected, yet rather welcome, especially with art like this.

Imagine going on a plane trip anywhere

Not just a plane trip. They had actual armrests and leg room. I'd peg that as business class, at the least. So imagine being able to afford a spur of the moment plane trip, where you don't have to travel in coach, and then having enough money to afford a suite, with similarly last minute booking.

One of them has Money.

With all the flirty things Bugs has done, being a girl is the culmination of it all.

I mean, with how often he cross-dresses, I'm not sure if it's a culmination so much as it's Tuesday.

Yes!! Thanks uploader!!
Does Junyeon count as gap moe? Or what's the word to describe the type anyway?

I don't think so? Gap moe is generally when there's a gap between someone's personality and their appearance and it makes them seem unexpectedly cute. Junyeon just has a big personality, but it also seems to go fairly well with her appearance.

There's just nothing here to hold on to; it's about a relationship that barely exists and two people who seem to be pretty happy with it that way.

Seems to sum up what this story is all about.

Which I don't think is a bad thing? The main message is that they still care about each other, appreciate each other, think of each other, but they don't always need to be around each other or always talking. I think the relationship humble and wholesome.

I think that's a large part of what these last few chapters have been trying to get across: Their relationship doesn't have a lot of the hallmarks you'd expect from a traditional marriage, because they're not trying to fit into a mold. Karumi's personality type and work don't really fit well into a ... let's call it a Hallmark marriage, since that's what people seem to be expecting. Trying to constrain her to one probably wouldn't end well, regardless of who it's with, but Ruriko doesn't seem to place much value on those things either, so giving them to her wouldn't be a real benefit.

Instead, what we're seeing is them creating a structure that works for who they are, rather than what other people expect. Karumi may be physically absent more often, she also frequently thinks of Ruriko and what she would like. More than that a lot of what we see is her subtly attempting to make their time together more meaningful or to share things that are important to her, even if this behavior isn't explicitly called out and she doesn't consciously realize she's doing it.

Take Ruriko's walk home, this chapter, as an example. It's filled with memories of Karumi excitedly sharing something with her, despite the other girl not being there. You could view those scenes as showing how head-over-heals she is for Karumi, while Karumi is only focused on things she likes, but I don't think that really lines up with thoughts like "Just by walking around, I get little bits and pieces of the world Karumi-san lives in. It's a really lovely feeling."

Karumi engages with the world in a way most people don't and she brings a lot of that back to Ruriko, because she wants to share her experiences with the person she cares about. She tells Ruriko about the book and the movie, not because she enjoyed them, but because she things Ruriko will too and because she wants to have that shared experience with her. She tells Ruriko that she's craving curry not because she wants to eat some — she's more capable of eating out on her own —, but because she want to eat curry with Ruriko.

Yes! This is exactly what the whole story is about.

I’m surprised this story is getting so much hate because this is a website devoted to WLW fiction so getting caught up on heteronormative ideals of what marriage means feels... kinda silly

queering marriage by just having it be a disinterested friendship

But that's the thing: They're explicitly not disinterested in each other. They care about each other a great deal, they just express it slightly differently.

I'm surprised Overwatch is still popular enough to get Yuri fanart

It's art direction is one of the main things it has going for it, even if the game's popularity wains. Honestly, most of the stuff that leads to fanart isn't even part of the game.
