Lol I see! It also makes it easier for me to spot your posts too since I've enjoyed reading them in some of the discussions. (Same goes for a few other members... until they change their avatars lol.)

I try not to read this often because it's so sad and yet so heartwarming. Such a great story.

You do? How's that? I personally always choose one avatar and stick with it to make finding my posts easier lol.

I'd like more control over my lists being able to not only rename them, but delete and create lists at my leisure. Also, does the subscription folder actually subscribe you to a series and put the updates on the front page? Just curious because I'd like a way to prioritize a series, an author, a tag, and etc. and, have it appear on the front page. Maybe in a third column to the left of the main update part. So that way, if someone is away from the site for a while, they can log-on, and scroll down that column and see what they had missed.

I'm happy Yuzu took a chance to confess, but I think she did it as such an inconvenient time (she was still getting the cold shoulder) that Mei just couldn't take it to heart like Yuzu expected. I think Mei is processing it like this: Yuzu rejects me > we don't talk for 2 (?) months > she says she loves me?! SHUT DOWN. DOES NOT COMPUTE.

It was also probably Mei's fault for that 2 month long bout of silence between the two of them as well. Not just Yuzu's. If anything, I'm thinking they did talk but none of their conversations were about what happened that night.

I'm a bit confused at Nina actions. she knows Mei has a thing for Yuzu and yet, she encouraged Sara.
I'm also wondering what was Himeko thinking by telling Nina the itinerary

I get the feeling that she knows it probably won't work out. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out. And Himeko probably thought nothing of it.

Mine is of dumb monster from an episode of Scooby-Doo. My previous one was a Charmander.

IS that where that is from?? I had always been under the impression that it was from heavy metal. The animation just totally has the feel of heavy metal in that pic.

Nothing wrong with Space Kook.

I was actually wondering what I should use for my avatar just this morning. I usually go for something superhero related like the electric blue Superman logo. So in that vein I choose my favorite supervillian: Dr. Mrs. The Monarch from the Venture Bros. Despite knowing she is voiced by a man I don't notice anymore and just find her to be the sexiest and most fun character on television.

Dr. Mrs. Girlfriend was so awesome! I always laughed at how competent she was and how loyal the troops were to her whereas The Monarch was a bit of a screw up. Great show! And she totally was sexy despite that rather gruff voice ;)

I'm kinda glad we are seeing both women having moments without the other. It's showing us how they are as a person away from each other. I think it's refreshing.

Worth reading? I'm not a huge fan of the art but if the story is worth it I will pick it up.

It is and it isn't. The "main" pairing is frustrating and silly. Also, most of my fondness for this series comes from the fact it was one of the few yuri manga you could get in English back in 2007 when it was licensed. Now I'm reminiscing about how I got into yuri and the terrible consequences it has had on my life~~~

Is the story good though besides the main pair being frustrating??

I read it before it was fixed. Sigh* That's why you don't act on impulse.

Might want to change your quote in the post now to hide the spoiler =)

I am talking about your avatar that identifies you on the forum. I know some change them regularly but I have seen a fair amount that has had me curious about their origins. I just think it would be fun to see where the avatar came from (so if it's a story I haven't read yet, I could go look it up! ;p ).

For example, mine is Lord Helmet from the movie Spaceballs. A parody of Star Wars and a few other movies. Very, Very, VERY funny movie and one that I recommend people watch!

So! Let me ask, what is your avatar? Where is it from or who are the characters... etc. :)

Holy shit this has got to be the worst chapter that has come out. Seriously, i'm so disappointed with the art and "plot". LIke what the fuck is wrong with the author or team that made that shit? They need some fucking practice, need to take time reading real fucking yuri, or at least read these fucking comments to see what we yuri fans like. But no, it's like they give no fucks and don't even try. And after what seems like ages, they put out just GARBAGE. They need to stop this shit and take a new turn or they're just a disgrace from yuri genre. Goddamn how frustrating. All I want is some well written yuri. Is that so much to ask for? Jesus fucking Christ. Just dumb cause now I have to wait soo long for another chapter that may be worse or just little better. How can they do this to us? I'd donate money if that'd mean writers would start putting out better written shit. Fuck.

OH NOES WAT DO I DOOOOO!!! SOMEONE PWEEZE HELP MEEEE!!!! MY YURI ISN'T YURING ENOUGH!!!! Otsu Hiyori, Morinaga Milk, Amano Shuninta, Morishima Akiko, and Takemiya Jin!! COME SAVE ME WITH YOUR YURINESSES!!!! - That aside....

You know, you could just... not read Yuri anymore. That'd save the rest of us from having to read your useless, annoying, immature post. No, make that posts. Looking at your posting history, I can easily see that it has a lot of "fuck this" in it. Nothing constructive, or praise worthy and instead you are constantly insulting the authors. Granted, many of us have been disappointed with authors and stories and the like but, I don't remember seeing a lot of posts like yours. Honestly, if none of the stories you read here satisfy you enough to write something positive or to take part in a debate in a positive or constructing manner, then please leave and never come back. Your attitude and posting habits are wholly unwarranted here.

After reading the last few chapters again, I think the main issue is that they just aren't on the same level emotionally yet. Yuzu is struggling with her emotions. I think she does accept her feelings for Mei, but is having a hard time trying articulating them properly. Also I think while she would like to be intimate with Mei she is afraid. Not just of betraying her role as a sister, but also she doesn't want to feel like she is just using Mei to sate her desire. Since for Yuzu I feel she wants to connect with Mei and not just use her as an object like that teacher did. The problem is Mei is so guarded, aloof, and casually about intimacy it is just twisting Yuzu up inside. She seems so desperate to connect with Mei, but she panics and trips over her words when Mei doesn't react.

As for Mei since we are meant to follow Yuzu we are also in dark about a lot of what Mei's actions and words mean. Unlike a lot of people I don't see malice in Mei's action here. It's building towards something. Frankly I think Mei is just confused about how Yuzu feels. Mei was more than willing to offer herself up to Yuzu at Christmas, but was pushed away. I think Mei is having a hard time trying grasp that Yuzu needs more from her than just her body. I do think in her own way Mei was being kind. I think she is having a hard grasping that while Yuzu does desire her, it is more than just a physical attraction. I may be wrong but I think she has a hard time believing that someone could be that in love with her. Since all the other in her that have "loved" were either using her or gone about it in superficial way.

Now I could easily be proven wrong with the next chapter, but I think Sara's confession made Mei realize something. Which is why I think she had that slight smile on the two-page spread. Mei asked Sara if she needed her and I think Mei finally got it. Love is about depending on one another, caring for another person, and just basically trusting each other. i feel it all fell into place for her at that point.

As for the last page, I think Mei is playing at something here. I am not sure what. Maybe she feels she is broken and wants to spare Yuzu. Or she is testing Yuzu to see if this what she really wants. There is something going on since I doubt Mei would just fool around with Sara. It is going to be a long wait for the next chapter, but I think this volume will end up bearing fruit.

Excellent analysis, you're on the right track. Everything is building towards something.

Agreed, Blue Saint totally nailed it. To me, one of the best moments was when Yuzu realized that she just needed to be there for Mei not just romantically but also emotionally, as someone she can trust and rely on. My only worry is that Mei lets her guard down with Yuzu in a very...errr... casual way like, "I love you Yuzu" *and they live happily ever after... The series so far has not gone that route but I would really like to see Mei and Yuzu have an emotional one on one where they work out their issues, what they want from each other, what they expect, how they will treat each other, and etc. It just seems a talk like that is the only natural way to go about it for Mei and Yuzu to finally connect.

Someone please teach me the damn secrets to anime and manga makeup. What the fuck.

Just follow these easy steps.
1. Be really pretty .
2. Tell yourself you're not pretty.
3. Hide your face with hair and glasses.
4. Remove said hair and glasses. (Optional: Put on makeup.)
5. Be really pretty.

And don't forget to have a team of lighting specialists on standby for the big reveal moment as well!

Serious question: 2 volumes printed now, how long are series like this usually allowed to run? The lion series at the same website has 118 four page chapters.

I imagine it's like an online manhwa; it goes until the author quits, it becomes completely unpopular, or the author dies/goes crazy/wants a big shift in life and changes careers/experiences a divine revelation/gets really lost on the way to the convenience store, I mean SUPER lost

Unless he's related to Roronoa Zoro, I think we don't have to worry about him getting lost on the way to the convenience store ;)

I'm trying to be patient and wait for it to be uploaded on Dynasty, but I really want to know what happens next. :x Where is everybody reading this?

Somewhere else ;) I've read them somewhere else as well but I'm also waiting for them, to hopefully, be uploaded here. I just prefer reading them on Dynasty haha.

Guys all of you shut up, this is what I've been waiting for. I do hope Amano shows us a cool part of Ruki. She's not even Sachi's girlfriend yet basically you're all talking about Sachi cheating on her when they weren't even in a commited committed relationship to begin wit. Smh

Did we even read the same manga as you?? O_o,,,

to all the people defending this: make sachi a guy in your mind while re-reading this, see if it gets as much of a free pass as it does right now because yuri.

I have read stories and known guys who did this personally. All douchebags. It's funny, they cheat but don't like being cheated on... funny how that works. To me, no matter what gender or orientation, you cheat and hurt someone else, and feel no remorse for it, are scum. I feel no sympathy for Sachi and she was a total bitch to Ruki for cheating and the way she treated Ruki at the end there. Plain and simple. This, "happy ending," if that's what people want to call it, is far from being one imho. If anything, it gives me the vibes that Ruki is willing to go through anything just to be with Sachi and that is wrong. And for the record, I believe Sachi deserves a punch in the face.

Well, if it follows more annoying het romances where one or the other of the main romantic interests gets set-up with another side-character just to give the main some romantic... errr.. difficulties and then somehow it comes swinging back in their direction after the obvious, "you're clearly in love with someone else" line.

Awwww yaaaaas.

Chinese representation in the yuri/shojo ai community yo.
Also, this is kinda refreshingly cute. It's so... casual. I love it.

There's lots of Chinese people on Pixiv and I see their comments on yuri works (though I can't read most of it I can get the general idea), and some even post yuri fanart. It's not really surprising to see this manhua made.

china's bl and gl community is very big and active. whether it's slash, original, fanfic, manhua, audio drama, cosplay etc etc if it exists there's a fandom for it. it's just that people who know chinese just go play on chinese sites and people who don't know chinese have no introduction into chinese fandom stuff

Are you familiar enough with their community to recommend Chinese yuri to read??

Meh, I don't really like these sexually promiscuous schoolgirl lesbians. Guess I should avoid the Lots o' Sex tag. Rather than swinging one way or another, I'm all about those first time experiences 2 girls have with their fated one! I prefer those kind of true love stories.

Well, a lot of people have relationships before settling down with one particularly good match. That's why I really like that one of Takemiya Jin's where the leads don't actually get together, but each find their own girlfriends later on.

You're not talking about Fragments of Love are you?? I personally really enjoyed that story (if that's what you're talking about here). Also, quite a number of people have sex really really early on in their relationships or even start relationships after one night stands. So it's not entirely unrealistic... in a sense, to see some promiscuous people settle down into a relationship at some point.
