Jeeze Sakura's final words simply being "I'm off" hit me hard, in the feels for some reason.

I want a Canon couple tag so I don't have to search to find out if the original work would satisfy my yuri fandom needs

This story reminds me a little of the the 1943 movie A Guy Named Joe, or the 1989 remake called Always.

I know starting out making your own way, in life can be rough. However this almost felt like a comedy sketch about bad actors trying to play dramatic roles but end up going way over the top with their performances.

Damn! It was like she lost her all over again. It made me cry a little.

Here's a pairing I haven't thought about in a while.

I honestly don't get why these one shot stories, about unfulfilled love, are so popular. I just find them frustrating. To me, it's like waiting for an action movie villain to get their comeuppance only for them to get away with their crimes, in the end. The artwork is really cute though.

These Japanese college girls know more about American movie history than most Americans do.

I'm beginning to think Sakura isn't the supernatural kind of ghost, at all.

While I would definitely love to see more of this, I'm just not sure what I want to see happen. If it keeps going as is, I feel like I would get bored and frustrated waiting for these two to move forward. However if their relationship does advance into romantic territory, I'd feel like the story would lose at least some of it's innocent charm.

Letting refugees in to the country, but keeping them separated and disenfranchised is a recipe for disaster.

It's like the movie Crank and the show The Walking Dead had a yuri baby.

Hahahaha For some reason the idea of expert undercover operatives resorting to middle school mean girl tactics just made me laugh out loud.

Oh Yuzu, the scummiest reason to join a band, is so you can nail as many hot, band groupy chics as you want.

I know that Japan has McDonald's restaurants (I mean the golden W lol). But that was the most American meal I've ever seen, in a manga, right down to the Coke (excuse me "the cola") they drank, to was it all down. The curry burger topping was a twist though.

At first I thought the bunny had drawn a building for the local nazi group, but then I remembered that a lot of Asian countries don't have that same association with the symbol that the west does. That made a whole lot more sense.

IDK Japanese people should know exactly what it means. They were nazi Germany's allie in the war.
However I know if you draw the design with arms turned one way it's the nazi symbol, if you draw the arms the other way it's just some old religious symbol. I want to say buddhist, but don't quote me on that. The trouble is I don't remember which way is which. And I don't really want googling nazi stuff in my search history. So I'm going to be outraged by the nazi bunnies to be on the safe side.

So Hiroko Isn't just a useless lesbian, she's also kind of a cowardly scumbag.

god forbid women sign a lease >:(

It's interesting that they're bringing up same-sex couples (or at least two women) being discriminated against. In Kindred Spirits on the Roof, Miyu is looking forward to being able to move out and live with her girlfriend Matsuri in an apartment for college, under the pretext of it being safer for two women to live together. Miyu is the type to think things through and is disciplined and cautious to a fault, but she never considers having trouble getting an apartment with a female roommate.

Part of it is probably because of different expectations from everyone involved: getting an apartment at college age you're probably going for landlords who specifically rent out to college students, in which case two women living together is seen as a very safe bet comparatively. When you're out of college, I would guess you run into the same problem with landlords as many women do with employers: they expect you to find a guy and marry, and thus have a harder time, whether it's with getting a promotion (or a full-time position) or a long-term lease.

Im not sure what I find more aggravating, businesses judging women based on age old gender stereotypes, or that it probably still makes good business sense to do so.

I've got to tell ya. The whole idea of highschool girls with a wholesome obsession with lingerie is hard to wrap my mind around. I mean it's right up there with, girls with a platonic fascination with boobs.

How do these wonky nonsensical genders work again? The betas are equal to our standard genders? The Alphas are the dominant hermaphrodite genders? And the omegas are the submissive hermaphrodite genders? Is that right? Honestly I think I need some sort of visual aid, like a chart or a graph, to keep it all straight.

Beta = usually regular human. No over the top rutting/horny mode.
Omega = Submissive, throws out super pheromones alphas cannot resist. In standard omegaverse, male omega can conceive and give birth (which is why this thing came to be originally, BL impregnation).
Alpha = Competitive and territorial, goes crazy for omega pheromones. Depending on the setting, female omegas may have something akin to penis that can be used to impregnate an omega.

Are writers consistent with this stuff? Not really, everyone has their own rules.

So essentially what your saying is my crude assessment was basically right? Sigh. Oh well the story is good so far. I can pretty much pretend it's a normal yuri story as long as it leaves the whole bizarre sex anatomy in the abstract.

Me after reading the latest chapter : Damnit past me why couldn't you keep your big mouth shut?!
