Author kept the serious mood. I approve.

I think that the butch/femme is more a real life stereotype. But when I read/watch/consume any kind of fictional narrative or media, the femme/femme is the more prevalent couple of the lesbian world. Maybe authors think that they'll be more accessible by heterosexual people or that they'll at least be both attractive to heterosexual males (who are probably the main consumers, at least in Japan, of lesbian works).

You think so? I've always gotten the impression that yuri never became as big a genre as BL precisely because marketing it to heterosexual males never really caught on the way marketing BL to heterosexual females did. Rather, yuri seems to be, to this day, mostly marketed to females, both gay and hetero--gay ones for obvious reasons, and hetero ones who, I dunno, like certain qualities in their romances that don't seem to work as well when there are guys around. And OK, sure, a few guys with good taste, but guys with good taste aren't a market.

That's why for the most part, the artistic and plot style of yuri seems to come out of shoujo and josei rather than shounen or seinen. There are exceptions, they often stick out like a sore thumb, of clearly shounen-oriented yuri where somebody thought "Hey, maybe the boys would like to see all girls in the story so there will be 100% boobies", but it never seems to have caught on very well--perhaps because with the prevalence of the harem subgenre in shounen, the boys already get like 80% plus boobies and a viewpoint character they can project into. Even though it would technically grow the genre I'm just as pleased those never took off, because stupid shounen fanservice manga are stupid and I don't want them taking over my yuri.

While I'm happy to know that I have good taste (despite not qualifying as a market group) I will mention that most fan service style harems make me wince. I prefer to actually have a quality plot in the stuff I read and the lack of plot+rather unintelligent/unreliable male protagonist make most harem style manga a no-go for me.

Tell ya what, if you can round up some people I'll get some pitchforks and torches and we can go "convince" the publishers to stop releasing so many shounen fan service manga.

This might be totally disjointed at times but I still really like it.

Is there more? As a heterosexual male I greatly enjoy watching shitty men suffer. (Implying that I'm better) (But I've been playing life solo for 20 years) (btw I'm 20) (At least my sister tells me I'm the best elder brother shes knows) (what am I doing with this comment?) (what is life?) (Its 12:45am) (I'm gonna sleep now)

This is so horrible that I have to keep reading it. I mean just look at Ah Meng's striped shirt. That was literally just a white shirt edited to have black bars on it.

I really hate her friend, maybe it's because i've known people like that in real life but "it's only ok when I like it" is a terrible person to me.

Agreed. Also that brown haired guy needs to die.

Edited because language.

Scouring the recesses of DR is so rewarding when I find works like this.

If you haven't read this already I suggest you do so.

I don't understand the beginning... she goes to some music event concert randomly looking for a dancer to teach her and then she sees a women kicking a can and she think of course this is a dance expert...

Kinda hard to show fluid motion in a comic. Just pretend she did it extremely gracefully.

Second year of hs 16/17ish
4th year of elementary like 10ish

So like a 10 year age gap

You mean 6 or 7 surely by your own math.

Checking on Japanese schooling ages I see 4th yr elementary makes her either 9 or 10 - so given the right birthdays their could be as much as, or close to 8 years between them - or as little as a bit over 6. Without knowing their exact birthdays I'm gonna go with somewhere in the middle at 7 yr gap.

I really like this so far I've got to say :) Even though there's a big age gap and Mimika is seriously into her, I don't think Yuzumori is in any danger.

It seems to me Yuzumori is far more proactive and bold than Mimika - If things develop I'm kinda expecting it to be mostly Yuzumori's doing.

Maybe I'm seeing too much in so few chapters but Mimika seems a bit of an 'M' to me - at least in this situation - and while I wouldn't call Yuzumori an 'S' type, she does seem like the more dominant of the pair.?

Mimika certainly seems like an innocent 'M' type. I'm gonna enjoy this.

Can't believe I forgot this type of set-up. Fun twist partway through as well.

Reading this manga makes me feel like I'm tripin on something strong.
