Part 1? Should I wait for a second part?

I think this should be the second part.

Yes, it was really short so we just put everything together as a one-shot, but maybe that wasn't the wisest decision.

I didn't like this story. It wasn't fluffy enough or give the characters enough development to actually care.

Fluffy's not Takemiya's strong point, she's more of a mischievous plots kind of author.

man how do people forget that most of her work is about fluffy love. love flicker, love story logs, kila kila, steps, and most of her one shots are some of the greatest fluff on this website imo. she gives just enough conflict in her stories to give the characters depth, and that just makes it even sweeter.

Takemiya does fluffy but in moderate doses, by shoujo-ai standards. This is just my take on it but I believe mean characters and characters with second intentions are a defining trait in a lot of her work. Chouchou Nannan and My Beloved immediately come to mind as strong examples, but you get that feel on An Absurd Relationship, Game and yes, Fragments of Love as well. Oh, and in Kila Kila we have the MC planning on using the sister to get to the model, so I count that one too.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan. I love most of Takemiya's stories to pieces, that was just my take on her themes.

It ended...well? I think?
Btw great manga, Takemiya you did it again :D

I guess you can say it did. I'd feel bad for the girlfriends who were just being used by Maria, but then again, they're cheaters so they probably deserved it.

doesnt this need the incest tag?

It's probably omited for spoiler reasons.

Which is a problem... I've seen someone suggest "blackened out" tags for stuff that's spoiler (like this). Might be a good solution for cases like this.

That'd be a spoiler itself for the fact that a story has a twist, tho'... YMMV on how much of a problem that is, ofc.

True. I see another problem too: some tags are triggering for some people (like rape is for me), and it would be a problem if these people were not informed of potential triggers because they chose to avoid spoilers.

Is everyone re-reading this cuz its getting an anime adaptation? XD

I reread this from time to time just because I love this story, and I don't wanna forget important stuff.

I still have no idea what that battle underwear thing is. I mean, do people really buy specific underwear for work in Japan? Is it supposed to be sexier or plainer? What's the point of this all?

Personally I'd rather live with someone before getting to the sex stage. Don't matter how good the sex is if our household habits are at odds.

I beg to differ. It does matter.

So there seems to be a bug where if you use the Preview Post feature about half a dozen times in a row (hi, I'm a perfectionist), the forum incorrectly flags the post as spam. I'm guessing it's mistakenly passing the preview post data into the spam detector as if it were an actual post, despite nothing having been actually publicly posted yet.

Edit: Not sure if the flag is ever cleared, come to think of it. I'll try posting it again tomorrow and let you know if the system at least eventually fixes itself.

Edit: Looks like it does eventually right itself within at most a day. Still frustrating, though.

Just tested and it's the same here.
By the way, I was able to post after raising the spam warning by adding a couple of words in the middle of the post.

Well, I apologise, I'm not trying to pull anything out. When I tried to access the website I saw on the credits it gave me a 404 error. Perhaps I mistyped, honest mistake, it happens, "mate".

Thank you anyway, your work is appreciated nonetheless.

Sorry for snapping at you, I think I read too much into your comment.

I've had this script for quite some time, so I'll probably start looking for someone else to typeset it instead at this stage.

Sorry again

Gumi, in case you're still reading this, I'm available for cleaning and/or typesetting. (I've done some editing work for yuri project and for arckuno at binbou scanlations, so I have some experience). Contact me if you're interested.
