This seems real cool. A little bit confusing. The comments here are helping. Lolis huh? Don't really want to be around those kind of people though . . .

oh. This story again. I remember finding this really confusing because of that one shot that came before it. Still a little all over the place and I never liked the one the that keeps wearing the wig. I don't hate her. She's understandable. I just don't find myself caring.

Actually the goat girl is becoming nothing interesting at all too. And if it turns out that the friend is in love with the genki girl . . . S#!t. I don't mean to be so negative! But it seems better now that I know that very first chapter wasn't quite cannon at least! Art is also really nice. so yah.

Well. Ph#(k. It went exactly where it looked like it was going. Not faulting the story or writer. Even if I thought these characters were plenty interesting without this dirrection. Some people are just crap and that's what the author has decided to show.

Well, that was disappointing. On a completely unrelated topic, is anyone planning to translate the rest of Comprehensive Tovarisch?

that one seemed like so much fun!

I like the mom in this story. I often think I'd like more stories that focus on parents. Working their arses off and raising freaking "life" and the next generation of people.

The miscommunication of that level is just a tiny bit hard to believe but whatever.
I was warned about the levels of yuri so I can't say I'm too surprised. Hell. I don't think I would have been too surprised if I hadn't been warned.

Overall it was all right.

Thanks translators!

Unrealistic

Sure you don't just mean unlikable? Cause that's where I'm at but I could see people floundering through life in this way and arriving at these same conclusions. Messing other people up along the way.

Love your current profile pic by the way. Such a good series.

Well. The alarms were going off when the hetero normative stuff was coming out. Only cause I think people are sick if hearing about it in fiction? Ok I'm not exactly sure what the issue is on this one. Not doubting there is one either. I could guess but I think I will just look it up later.

When she was dumped before she could dump the other gal I thought that was an interesting turn. Then they do "that" behind the back of the other person in the story and I just feel like I do whenever someone does that regardless of what genders are involved. Like having nothing to do with them. thus making me dislike both characters and not honestly caring.

kinda believable though. I guess. Reason enough to be a story.

Whew! Was just thinking about this story today.

That was great. Pity it's done.(I guess?) but not the worst note to end on. A very and sweet and grounded romance without much in they way of drama. Not that I'm against drama. but a story that can go without it can be such a treat.

I don't understand the issue with a love triangle. This girl has been in the story since the beginning (I think she was there even before Qui Tong) and the fact that she liked Sun Jing was pretty obvious. Frankly, I'm surprised it took this long for her to be put in the spotlight.

Anyway, I have a feeling the love triangle will be resolved soon, maybe. I'm hoping for a mature response from the characters about this.

What's so hard to understand? Some people just don't like them. We literally have tags so we can avoid them if we want to and the reasons for not liking them may be different for different people. My reasons for not liking them may be nothing like someone else's.

Sometimes they can't even be avoided because they don't even show up until the story has gone on for years. And some character mewling around in the background as hints doesn't mean it's going to be a love triangle. Might be a red herring. Or a character with some other issue.

As for myself, I won't drop a story I'm into when one comes up unless I feel the story is starting to lack in a number of other ways as well.

It's not particularly you, but I don't get why people expect romance stories to necessarily end as they would in real life (whatever that means) and, more dumbfounding, that they should hold some moral lesson and/or message attached to it - or that those who don't are bad, etc.

Have to agree with this .

And hey! More cat face! heh. "Please treat Kuro chan as a person."
That cover art though! I don't mean to impose my thoughts on what the relationship should be between the two girls in an actual relationship in this story. Respect if it is one without the convention levels of intimacy but it does look nice.

...

She loves being married to a woman?

Seeing what happened recently, the tittle should be "Lesbian divorce is a pain in the ass" XD, and I hope they are ready for that upcoming custody lawsuit!

Custody of what? No child was born was there?
Them splitting doesn't change the fact they are lesbians and will likely marry again. Same as non gay folks. When you fall down. You get up. Just cause you fail now doesn't mean you always will.

Anyway. The complexities involved with being with someone for life is just one more thing I wish was explored more in yuri. rolls up sleeves probably gonna have to do it myself.

This goddess broke the one big rule: never stalk and ship real people. It's creepy.

I mean ignoring stalking, my time working in a school has taught me that teacher ship the hell out of their students, even if they dont know that word itself.

That just sounds so freaking unprofessional. A yuri manga that had a teacher pry into the love life of of a student had me wondering if teachers ever did anything like that and I personally came away thinking it should be none of their concern or business. But what are ya gonna do?

This story . . . is really not for me. Not much more tolerable than the two stories about s guy doing pretty much the same thing. Don't let me ruin anyone else's fun though.

They split up? Damn.

One of the guys said " Well, hopefully this will also show people thay we are no better than straight people, we are the same as you and our marriages can fail too"

that was my next thought! Marriage is . . . not easy for a lot of people. As far as I can make out.

This series continues to be great! I'm surprised the ex is still in the story. Well. I'm pretty sure we can all see that going only one way. While it doesn't bother me as much as it might in other stories, i think the lead characters are plenty interesting enough with out this element but this isn't my story so I will just have to deal.

why does everyone have to point out the cliches as if they're a bad thing lmao if it's a good read then it's a good read, cliches or not. Almost every story has some kind of cliche. Besides that, I can't wait for more of this!

I don't think they are deal breaker for most but it can be a factor in wether you enjoy something or not so people point them out. if your are going to state why you don't like something or the degree which you like something, might as well say why.

I try to be forgiving of cliches. I think they are pretty hard to avoid but when there's a million other things to do, stories that seem to only wanna retread what I have read already I'm gonna have drop.

And this feels . . . incredibly generic. But if anyone is able to enjoy it then I am happy for them.

Mh. Much as I like the "wtf"-feeling of it, it also feels a bit random. "Yeah, let's just go with that, whatever..."

It allows for more interpretations, just like the wet dreams/masturbation stuff. Doesn't mean that was the author's message, who probably just wanting to do something weird, but it still is a fun activity.


I had time to think more about my own (silly) interpretation. Perhaps it has to do with the feeling of powerlessness when you want to help someone close, but you realise that you can't or that you are not needed.

We see the roommate struggling with nightmares before she splits, similarly to somebody struggling with their problems right before they decide to face them. Then the munching part is when they decide to attack them head-on, we could see the eating part as both fixing and accepting your problems. In the end, the roommate seems quite happy after she ate her other "problem" self : she made her problems go away since her other self doesn't exist in the proper sense, but in a way, her problems are still present in herself as she accepted them (literally) in her.

In summary, a problem arise in the roommate life (a nightmare), she takes a step back (split) to face her problem head on, she fix them (ate them) and accept them (digesting) - I think this a weak point of my interpretation, since I think you should accept your problems before fixing them, but why not. And after all that, she feels relieved or somewhat satisfied and goes back on living (sleeping).

Meanwhile, the MC is observing her roommate, somewhat fascinated by how she is resolving her problems alone, perhaps kind of frustrated because she can't really do something significant to appease her. She tried once to help her (nibbling her) when she was having problems (nightmares) but realised that it was useless, that "[She isn't] good enough." only leaving her roommate still struggling with her problem, who does seem to be still struggling in p10, when the MC failed to eat her.

In the end, the only thing the MC could do is watch helplessly as her roommate is dealing with her problems, no interfering, comforting her and being there for her when she has dealt with her problems - by caressing the belly which contains the digested other self (the problems).

The message could be something along those lines : the problems or the anxiety your friend/lover is experiencing can only be effectively dealt with by the concerned party, you can't deal with them (eat them) for the other. All you can do is be there to support them and help them "recover" somehow - this is illustrated by caressing the belly while the roommate is digesting, apparently it helps with the digestion to massage the belly in a clockwise rotation (by martial art energetic philosophy and perhaps supported by some scientific articles with more grounded results).

Of course, it's missing some important stuff like sometime you can be the one giving the nudge for the affected party to finally deal with their problem, and perhaps other stuff I haven't considered, but I'm quite happy with that!

Oh. Nice. My answer has a vague resemblance to this very nice take on it. And I'm usually terrible at these! Well. Still am really.

Huh! She sure looked content after "eating herself." Lead is "lonely" when this happens and this event only happens when the other character has nightmares. And she is unaware of the event itself. Had me thinking it meant she changed after the ordeal but I guess not. Interesting. Really like this art.

Remember when everyone praised this manga after Vol.1? Yeah...

you want us to blindly praise something even if the quality (in our opinion) drops? cause I know people that do that on other sites I go to and they are given hell for it. damned if you do . . .

Still don't find either cheating or a misunderstanding any kind of interesting. Would be immensely happy if this was never part of the story. Guess I still need to see where Uta ends up and it probably won't be until after we see what is going on with the brother. So I look forward to that. Wonder if it will be close to the end of the series.

As for the "cool chill" guy thing. I like character variety. So yeah. Not too many males that are ever made to be particularly interesting in yuri so I wouldn't mind seeing some.

Otsu Hiyori is the best! Well, one of the best. Both of them are so chill about being badmouthed, though, that is not natural for a highschooler...

I could be dead wrong but isn't this a thing in Japanese culture? I was even told it's impolite to to outright say "no."

I'm not sure you quote right person, but yes, jps find it impolite to say straight no. They can still say no though, that is why they always start the respond with yes, like "yes, I won't do it" and stuff like that. Well basically they will usually try to find a subtle, gentle way to decline your offer. It become a common knowledge for a reason that if you ever have business with them and after giving your offer you will hear "I'll think about it", it means "There is no way I will agree to that". I don't think they are ok with being badmouthed though, especially since your reputation is usually a big deal in Japan.

Ah. Ok.
I was actually thinking them not being confrontational towards to people bad mouthing them was a common approach but now I realize that's probably not even what the person I was responding to was commenting on.

That was fantastic! Yet another example of why this series is one that always I find myself thinking about between lovely updates.

The younger girl fretting about her more vulnerable side being seen when that's only a good thing was very nice. The one you are going to be with needs to see that. ^_^

And can't forget that confrontation earlier in the chapter! Also very nice.

Hehe. Meddling president. Is being ordered to eat cake with your superior the worst job assignment or what?
