I´m gonna be honest at first i had my doubts about this one, it felt like a weird mix of a silent voice and shigatsu wa kimi no uso, but as the story progressed it found it´s own identity and it came together beautifully.
Now if you excuse me i´m gonna go cry myself to sleep

Shiho doesn't deserve to be in this uncomfortable and uncertain situation. It's entirely Aki's fault, and this time she has no excuse.

what the actual fuck lol, how is this aki´s fault in any shape or form, can you really blame aki for being extremely wary and walking on egg shells around shiho. From her perspective shiho suddenly left without any reason and cut all ties with her, only to start antagonizing her and the SS girls the moment they meet again, then she learned that the reason shiho was being a nuisance to everyone was cuz she loved her and felt rejected (even tho she never actually confessed).

Can you really blame her for thinking that if she didn´t reciprocates shiho´s feelings on the spot she would just regress and cut her of her life again, heck even after the festival ended shiho confidently said to aki that she wouldn´t accept her previous relationship since she wanted more.

If shiho had any growth during this whole arc i´d be more incline to see aki´s decistion as rash but she didn´t, like at all. Shiho started as someone that would throw away the things she supposedly loved the moment things didn´t went her way, i.e. violin and her love for aki, and on the climax of this arc as always she was ready to throw away her first love without even trying. The only reason the story didn´t end with shiho alone again was cuz hima literally drag her so aki could do all the development

bruh i can´t believe swap swap ended 5 years ago, reading a new work from tomekichi really makes me feel old and nostalgic. It takes me back to simpler times

So remember kids if you ever have a one sided crush just be annoying AF and she might date you out of obligation

There's no in between, you hate it or you love it... there's no "I don't really care" option, I see...
There are people condemning this manga, saying is a waste of their time, spamming and calling it stupid, but I suppose that if we try hard enough, anything convenient is a fact.

what? there´s like 3 or 4 post calling it dumb or a waste of time don´t know where´s the supossed spam, on the other hand there´s tons of people saying that is cute but gives the wrong idea about smoking, there´s plenty of in between, i guess anything but unconditional praise in considered hate on thi site lol

At the end of the day, most of us are adults, pretty aware of the dangers so when people spam warnings as if they're trying to reverse break the 4th wall and save the protagonist we are just a little... perplexed, that's all.

ok there´s like 3 or 4 people that outright hate it, if you consider that spam i guess that´s also fine, For me the botom like is that "she smeel so good" is a silly line and shows how little the author knows about smoking, this feels like it was written by a 14 y/o that has never been around a smoker but thinks smooking is cool.
I´m not here to lecture anyone on the dangers of smoking i just gave my opinion and some of my life experiences as a smoker myself (wich i thought was the poin of this forum but again i see that anything but uncoditional praise is considered hate) and i´ve seen a lot of people do the same in a respectfull way. Compared to let say citrus this is pretty chill discussion so i don´t really see the supossed hate train

puppy love is always cute

@juanelric nah bro i´m always up for some crack ships even better when they´re yuri but himmel x frieren is just so sweet and has such a bitter sweet background it´ll always be my favorite

People clicking on a manga about smoking, titled the smoking maid, and then complaining about the smoking is hilarious to me lmao

i don´t really see people complaining as much as just stating facts, like if someone smokes near you the stench will be so strong that you probably won´t be able to really notices that person s natural smell and it definetly doesn´t smell nice at all, not an opinion or condemnation of the manga just a fact. if someone were to post a yuri about a couple going " yeah dude the earth is definetly so flat" people will rightfully so call out the BS

As i see it there´s two types of people in this comment section the ones that think smoking is cool and the ones that have actually smoked or being around someone that does it in a regular basis

god i love nanao so much, she´s so proactive and willing to go outside of her comfort zone to make asumi happy, always paying atention to asumi and the thing she maybe did wrong, always trying to find solutions and even if sometimes they´re a bit silly she´s always giving her all. She´s naive but not dumb and even if she´s inexperienced she´s perceptive, so refreshing

if i had a nickel for every yuri romcom that gets serious and introduces world ending threats i´d have two nickels wich isn´t a lot but it´s weird that happened twice

Why is everyone in this comments section just going on about the dangers of smoking lmao. Absolutely no chill.

As a smoker myself I can tell you than smoking is an horrible habit that me and many other wish we didn't have, every smoker I've meet will always tell you about how much they want to quit and how they will never teach anyone how to smoke or provide a cigarette to youngster cuz all of us know how nasty of an habit it becomes. Maybe I'm being pretentious here but the only people that find smoking hot are impressionable teenagers

Love that the doujin perfectly captures bocchi s awkwardness while also giving her a bit of courage to get to those sweet boniji moments

Well I've been in the "hating shiho" bandwagon for a long time and also believe that it's definitely too little too late, buck heck even if she's doing it out of obligation at least she said sorry and acknowledged (to herself) that she was antagonizing Yori and being a complete asshole to her. Like she's still an asshole but at least she's aware of it and is in character for her to not give a damn, so at least she's being consistent.
If this starts an upward trend of her realising how much of an ass she's been to everyone and apologize, even begrudgingly, it'll be a small W in my book. At least is way more enjoyable than her being an oblivious asshole to everyone, even if she's still far from being likable if handled well her "redemption arc" can at least be entertaining

We're so back baby, the fuu-train Is rolling full steam ahead AND you can't stop It, mark my words people next chapter yuni Will be back at fuuko s arms where she belongs

As far as I'm concerned bocchi being nijika emotional support is canon

kinda that sad that the anime didn´t show much of how nana´s life changed after revealing her secret identity, i´d love to see the vicepres fangirling over nana and they sharing their love for idols, well can´t complain since there´s a lot doujins with that exact premise

"Over 50,000 copies sold! (including digital)"
Well, that's disappointing.

Maybe you misunderstood? That's over 50,000 for volume 8, in Japan so far (not translated yet). "Whisper" is generally one of the best selling, if not still the best selling, current yuri manga. If it were disappointing, they wouldn't highlight it.

Yeah, if it's for one volume it's not bad. Still, Yuru Yuri is getting around 100K or more for one volume :/

Don't think that comparison really works but I'm not going to get into sales discussions beyond this. Overall point is that it's selling well and the number was an ad highlighting it's good sales and public (Japan) reception.

I understan why comparing it to one piece doesnt work but both yuru yuri and sasakoi are published on the same magazine and both are in broad terms parts of the same genre, heck even if we remove yuru yuri from the equation maid dragon sold over 2 millions copies at some point of it´s (still ongoing) run.

Yes, saying that they'd be happy with an ending like that reveals a misunderstanding of their characters. Also, the "scummy" part of our MC is greatly exaggerated. She's mostly just naive, shortsighted and impulsive. She's not really been that bad and almost always means well in her head.

yeah no, makino is really scummy, that´s just a fact and there´s no way around. Even if her parents are the worst humans beings tricking them into giving her money for prostitutes is questionable to say the least no only that but she´s beeing using other people like her sister and classmates to get money to satisfy her hedonistic desires, heck the only reason she goes to cram school is cuz she´s too lazy to work and even then she half assed cram schoo until the risk of maron not being her teacher hit her
The only reason why maron even likes her is cuz she happened to be with her and treated her a bit nice when she was having a hard time and was mentally unstable, heck even then she was openly lusting after someone that just admit that was having a hard time and wanted to end her life wich if you were to ask me is boderline psycopath

Me reading the last page knowing I'll never nap in kanatas embrace

I don't even know what's going anymore, the Manga switch topics wildy every two or three chapters. Are we entering the forced marriage arc how long will it last 3, 4 maybe 5 chapters

Matsumoto fanática de lo sensual

Let's fricking goooo, the nanao nation getting stronger with every chapter. I swear to god there'll be riots on the streets if nanao doesn't end up with asumi

Lol I just love famitsu ayumu, I hope there's some cameo or reference to her in the official material

Well you could argue that me and other who highly dislike Fuukos psychotic behavior (stalking, obsession, manipulation,abuse, blackmail etc..) lack common sense since there are so many Fuuko simps.

But I hope we all can find common ground in the fact that Yuni is even more unlikable than Fuuko and Nanase. Yuni is such milquetoast, like folks said before I'll give her a few chaps tops before she's scissoring Fuuko again XD

TBF unlike shiho from "whispering you a love song" everyone here knows that fuuko is fucked up and that everything she does is borderline sociopathic, I don't think there's a single soul here that will argue that fuuko is misunderstood, relatable or anything remotely close to a good person.
Really we're all here just to watch the train wreck, sometimes is fun to watch something so unapologetically messed up that doesn't shy away from portraying character as assholes instead of trying to justify their shitty behavior and utterly fail at it

Lol mía looking at the background, truly a motoanexo moment
