Eh, whether or not it's technically yuri doesn't have any bearing on the fact that I strongly dislike this kind of wholly inconclusive story. It's like someone wrote half a plot and then lost interest.

Why isn't there a love triangle tag?

It's not a triangle when no one is being excluded.

Indeed.

Interesting. I want a continuation cause I want to know what will happen in their daily life. Will Haruka always resume control of the body when they are going to do something lewd? >< (I know it's wrong and Kouhei isn't a bad guy, but i want a yuri ending...I really do.)

Honestly wouldn't mind it just ending with all three together. I could see it going the route with the guy "passing on" after having secured his girlfriend someone new to be with in the girl, but that would be kind of vanilla and boring.

I'd kinda be okay with that ending. I mean, I love poly stuff, but age gap yuri is also super strong. I would love a continuation of this, but it probably isn't going to happen.

Indeed x2.

But poly AND age gap yuri!

So, the “older girl is into lolis”-trope is getting more popular or why is it that this one and tsubakuma are getting made into an anime? Not that I mind to be honest, but it would be kinda awkward if Yuri gets associated with older girls being lecherous of small girls :P

Gay people being pedophiles is already an established stereotype anyways.

And here I thought 'Bloom into you' was slow af

It's a gag manga this pretty much par for the course as far as pacing is considered aka: somewhere between a complete standstill and continental drift.

i don't know man, but still how could someone turn gay from just a smile !? it maybe be understandable if she were already gay but this one is unrealistic,it takes more than 3 sec to realize that you are a gay,it's cute but he could had made it a bit richer. a lazy one from this author i guess..

It's a gag manga I think you're expecting a bit more substance than is realistic.

Possibly the best male character in a yuri manga ever. This is the first time I've actually found this series funny.

So, it turned into a Slice Of Life, instead of building romance between the two.

We already knew they end up together, but come-on, what's important is not the destination, it's the journey.

I could really do with more stories that focused a bit more on the destination. I'm kind of tired of the old "and then they got together the end." It's one of the reasons I really like Kase-san.

But once they are together, the only way to have a "story" is to create drama or conflict. With family/friends/school/rivals/tragedy...

Or it becomes a slice of life : a couple living their day do day lives and doing couple-ey things. At which point, you become a voyeur, because there's no story to speak of. Not everyone's cup of tea.

You're a voyeur to ANY story that doesn't include substantial breaches of the fourth wall. You're always observing the characters without their knowledge or consent.

I could be wrong, but I believe it's a visual metaphor for ejaculation.

More like visual metaphor for arousal in a much more tame way than showing, say a crotch bulge or wet panties.

I guess it's "tamer" in the puritanical sense of not actually referencing sex in any way but I gotta say copious bloodshed is way more off-putting to me than any of the actual signs of arousal.

The nosebleed thing seems like a weird Japanese urban legend/joke more than anything else because I've never seen this concept anywhere outside of gag manga.

For a second I thought it was that cute transgender story that's been going around and got all pumped up.
Super cute, nevertheless

I'm pretty sure I know what you're talking about and I love it it's adorable.

This is great and y'all need to relax about either/both of them being bisexual if anything we need more positive representations of bisexuality in yuri where it's not just an excuse to inject dude drama into the plot.

The thing is, if Junior-chan dies then there's no real resolution. That just puts Vampire-chan back in "I'm a monster" mode and still under the control of the guy who locked her up. Not to mention the other vampire-feeder couple. So if you're going to resolve the story, there has to be some more substantial change that turns the whole papillodaemon system upside down. If only Junior-chan survives (for now, given Vampire-chan will outlive her regardless) through some "power of love" or similar dodge, it'll still be pretty unsatisfying.

I'm not sure there's a resolution to this that isn't going to feel either incredibly bleak or like a cop-out.

This really doesn't strike me as a stable relationship dynamic. A woman basically being her partner's surrogate mother because they refuse to make the effort to mature and look after themselves doesn't get any less unfair because that partner is also a woman.

The chibi gags sandwiched between tragic drama isn't working for me it just feels so dissonant.

Wow, this ended better than Nanashi no Asterism.

This oneshot is like if Nanashi no Asterism didn't utterly suck.

When people say this series feels "rapey" they don't mean rape is actually occurring they're more talking about Hishikawa's relentless propositioning of Komaki despite being rejected pretty unequivocally which IRL is literally just sexual harassment and shows a complete lack of respect for her boundaries. Like in the real world her behaviour would be wildly inappropriate and some readers can't suspend their disbelief enough for it to work as comedy as it's intended to here. Also, ew don't be gross respecting someone's blatant refusal of your advances is not some ridiculous draconian standard of conduct it's basic respect.

Quick question. What boundaries is Hishikawa crossing? Komaki seems pretty chill about this whole situation. Its not even presented that it is Hishikawas interest that she is rejecting, only her methods.

Readers are having a far more exaggerated reaction to a fucking joke than the target character, so much so that they are already calling rape when absolutely nothing close to it has happened.

Of course Komaki is chill she's the archetypal straight woman designed to act as a foil to Hishikawa's absurd shenanigans. That's literally her narrative purpose. Most of the people taking issue aren't put off because of how this affects Komaki (because she doesn't exist) put rather because they are responding to Hishikawa's actions with the same reaction they'd have to them in reality: disgust. The fact that a fictional character designed to not take offense to an action does what they were literally written to do doesn't make that action inoffensive. For example, Bella in Twilight being a-okay with Edward breaking into her room in the night without her knowledge to watch her sleep didn't suddenly make that not an insanely creepy thing to do.

People are allowed to express distaste for a joke they think is unfunny and inappropriate. Something being intended as a joke doesn't exempt it from being subjected to critical thought.
