Well, maybe because it's similar to the other work of the author "There is no Way I Can Have a Lover" and the fact that in both cases, you already know without reading that they will end up together anyway (not a spoiler but my guess and what a bold guess). The question is how did the one denying the dating at first will fall for the other.

Ah I see, it's from them... that one feels boring too, again a case of uninteresting characters and a meh plot. Guess I should just avoid the author in the future then, thanks for the heads up.

have you never seen a ron-com before? The main characters always, ALWAYS!, end up together. The fun is in rooting for them to overcome their character flaws, so they can get there. Sure ron-coms are formulaic and maybe even a bit trite, but they still can be a fun ride..

I wouldn't be on this site if I didn't like rom-coms, but neither of the MCs feel like they'll be able to carry a boring plot (that wouldn't fly if it was a straight guy and a gay girl), nor does any of this feel particularly romantic nor comedic.

IDK I actually like the setup. I'm willing to give it a go. I doubt it will go the distance if they do one day per chapter though. 100 chapters seems too drawn out for such a simple premise.

This just feels... rote. Like I've only read the first chapter and I know exactly where this is all going, and the characters don't feel like they'll make it particularily interesting.

This artist has such great comedic timing. That last panel was perfect.

Hehehe I totally missed Wanko checking out the still empty tea container. That's classic.

It actually is, just like how you're safe inside your car in a thunderstorm, since electricity always flows through the path of least resistance.

As long as you don't touch the metal and the ground, to complete a circuit, you're good.

Biggest issue with electricity is being the shortest and most efficient route to the ground. So even if you were to touch the metal, there's a good chance you'd still be fairly safe since the human body provides more resistance than metal does.

Oh course the thunder would knock you for a loop though. That close to a strike it might even do physical damage.

Comforting someone by putting their face in your boobs>>>>>> any other form of comfort

It is an established traditional remedy, known to alleviate all kinds of pains and anxieties.

Hope I'll get to experience it some day.

I hope so too, to comfort someone like that and to get comforted like that. Equivalent exchange if you will.

It's also good way to quiet someone who is complaining to much.

Yay! A honest to goodness happy yuri ending! The other drunk yuri storys' endings were frustrating let downs, but this one warmed my yuri loving heart.

Stories like these are the manga equivalent of Lucy pulling the football away from Charlie Brown, at the last second.

Is peanut paste the same thing as peanut butter?

So she went from a big time Hollywood star, to a part time job?

Why would you assume it's a part-time job?

Okay I have no proof it's a part time job per se. But she is in some sort of warehouse or store wearing an apron, and getting scolded for slacking off, by a boss type character. I would definitely say that's sufficient context clues to conclude she now has a low level job of some kind.

I like how people are wondering why Eve's a child now and say that it's just Itou Hachi being Itou Hachi. But, no one realised that she herself was a child when she met Eve. Basically, it's a reversal now where Eve becomes the child and she becomes the adult.

That's just a statement of facts, it doesn't actually explain anything about why. It's like that old movie, Seven. Whenever I talked about why Brad Pitt's character got to live in the end, someone would inevitability say "Don't you get it, wrath killed envy" like that explained anything.

Well, that's the joke. It's a common joke in yuri because it doesn't make any sense for lesbians to be saying it.

Really? Huh. I have never seen that before. Welp smarter everyday I guess.

Little Red Riding Hood: Please eat me Wolf-chan.

Me: Is it a super creepy fantasy to be eaten alive, or just a sexual innuendo?

Wolf-chan: Wouldn't that be the end for you?

Little Red Riding Hood: Why would it?

Me: Sexual innuendo it is.

Let's not forget "just the tip".

I'm not going to lie, that line cunfused me. I mean what part of a woman's anatomy would be "the tip"? I have an idea what body part she is referring to, but I think it's a bit of a stretch to call it that?

'Marriage and having kids in a country with dangerously atrocious birthrates and the same anti-traditionalist circles that divided and crippled other countries growing by the day? How repugnant. Better cheat on my obviously dislikeable dimlow of a Japanese Male™ that I'm already not honest about my opinions of to any of the people that push me to continue my family's existence.'

Honestly after rereading this a few times, I'm not sure what your getting at. Are you condemning Yukako for lying to the world about being a straight woman and a happy housewife, or her inability to completely swallow her own lie.
