She got her revenge in the end.

Yeah, but it was stupid.

BOOBA

This is painfully cliche. I wouldn't expect an entire series from a premise as tired as this. It feels like a complete waste of time.

Let's take bets now on who's dead by the end.

Sees tags: Horror, Tentacles, Prostitution, Violence
Nope! Never! Not in a million years!
Sees scanlator: Daphie's
Mmm...Okay, guess I'll give it a shot.

Thank you, that's really reassuring for me to know some people appreciate the work I put into this!

Thank you everyone who read and commented as well! ^_^

As for some commenter who got hooked on the word "man", I actually made a couple minor fixes, and that included changing panels around that word. Just so you know, the word used in JP was "otoko" and it can translate as either man or boy, and normally the burden of interpretation would be put upon you the reader, but I had to make a choice. In retrospect, I decided to change it to the word "boy", plus couple minor changes.

I think "man" is a more appropriate term. No offense to your translation, but to put it bluntly, changing it to boy throws away the entire point of his statement. He wants to make a stand for someone else, and in a young boy's eyes (I speak from personal experience), this is something that defines what a "man" is. It's a somewhat common trope. Him saying he's a boy is the same as saying he's a child. It's a given, and removes any significance the declaration has. You could change the word to "adult" and it would carry the same significance, but it would be different from the original translation.

The story was kinda cute until the little boy says, "I'm a man, too. I'm going to protect you !". No child, you are like 5 years old, YOU need protection. Virilism since childhood. He could have just said, "I don't have anyone and I really like you. I'm not letting them take you." or just "I'm scared. Save me !". It's a child, why do they have to enforce the fact that the boy or like they said it "A MAN" and is going to save the monster with a female form. This is stupid.
This could have talked about a lot of things with this, the work condition of prostitute, child abuse (Lilia look like a 12 years old girl), the men who paid for sex and don't care about the situation of the prostitute and the fact they don't care about who they sleep with (again Lilia looks like a little girl and not a single man care about that at least they didn't show it, so all men in this work deserve to die, f*cking pedophile). All the PINK DISTRICT, don't add anything about the story. If Lilia only eats human to live, they are literally living people who don't have a house and sleeping outdoor. Becoming a prostitute to eat people is kinda stupid and useless.
But maybe I didn't get the second reading behind all the story. But for now it's just a story about 'A MAN' who is going to give some love to a female monster little girl prostitute who was abuse by A MAN.

Holy shit, a single word really upset you that much, huh?
The kid wanted to protect her, and voiced his desire to be seen as more of an adult. The use of the word "man" doesn't have any thematic relevance, so it's use has no bearing on the story. Calm down.
"This story was kinda cute" No it wasn't. Prostitution and murder aren't exactly "cute".
Also, please for the love of god, never tell a writer that they could have used their story to ponder the morality of real world problems. Sometimes, a story should be allowed to be a story.

TBH the work says more about itself by leaving the issues you mentioned out of the discussion. The women who accost her aren't bothered that she appears to be an underage prostitute. They're upset that she's stealing their clients. I don't know, I think that says quite a lot about the setting that the story takes place in, and adds quite a lot to the story.

"If Lilia only eats human to live, they are literally living people who don't have a house and sleeping outdoor." Yeah she should totally eat homeless people. wtf

How often is Asumi going out?

$200/week would be $10,000 a year. What's her job again?

Nanao gives her 100,000 jpy per week for just some household work, which is llike $900 at the start of 2022 (now only $720 though). So, you know. It's really good to have a rich girl loving you.

I just use the long term 100:1 ratio for stuff like this, it's not like the exchange rate affects Japanese buying Japanese services.

The yen being way down does effect the buying of japanese goods and services though. People just have less money now. The exchange rate is a byproduct of the main problem.

This has nothing to do with yuri though, so lets try focus on the topic at hand. Mashing puss.

Oh my god, he is so damn cute.

Dude didn't even disengage the safety on that AK. Poor form on his part.

Yeah those two too, also Takako and Rise. Man I really wonder when and how this manga is gonna end, because in chapter 29 they are adding three new girls, and I think that there is a lot of characters in the story right now, that maybe the author doesn't give enough time to give a proper conclusion to all of them. But we can only wait to see when and how this story will end.

I can't see this series ending in anything other than a MASSIVE orgy.

This is basically my ideal futa doujin. Yuri, but one girl has a dick(maybe girl parts too), and nobody questions it. It's just perfectly normal. I love it. I guess you could call it an "acceptance fetish"?

Same!! I wish more futa doujins and artwork would be like this (though ideally, they'd just be tagged as trans).

That said, I highly recommend looking through Love Live fanfiction (some of them are tagged 'Girl Penis'). Most of them would be pretty much like this. Authors like Master_Thief_Gray_Shadow (a trans guy, by the way) and Lord_Byron_Mudkippington comes to mind. Give them a read!

While they can be tricky to find, ftnr stuff by shipping-focused Love Live fanartists are usually good with this as well. Here's Kougi's NSFW alt, for example.

Funnily enough, I've already read through Master_Thief_Gray_Shadow's library. I'll recommend ZippyZapmeister in return.

I've always had a passing interest in this concept, so it'll be fun to see where this goes.

All the girls taking pictures of giant Magenta's panties. Fuckin hilarious.

Like, I'm not trans, but I imagine a lot of trans people who haven't/won't/can't fully transition(ed) wish for this kind of normalcy. It sounds like a nice world to live in.

The first episode was beyond cute.

Oh my god, the "good girl" stuff is just too wonderful. Praise kink is so good.

What if you
Wanted to read second chapter
But tags said
Molestation

It's less molestation and more "We're both friends, so now I'm going to touch you until you cum, whether you like it or not."

Oh no, she accidentally pressed the gay button.

Did I just read futa porn?

Tatsubon does have plenty of experience in that department.

On the upside, that tail looks incredibly useful.

In every repetition of the pattern, closeness and distance take on new meanings, contextualized anew by Takamine and Sakura's experiences with each other, their memories and expectations, and also made more meaningful for us as we grow to know them better. And this itself ties into Sakura's gushing about the brilliance of books with subtle foreshadowing that take on new meanings, new secret signals with each read, and sequels to them that hint at shared universes and larger patterns without ever spelling them out, because magic shines best in ambiguity. Every aspect of the tale perfectly coheres, every element deployed in perfect concert, creating constellations of emotion that fascinate effortlessly, a naturalism polished so well as to become a dense, organic cosmos of its own- I adore the girl who seems to have a quiet eye of her own on Takamine, surrounded by knowing friends (one of whom seems quite similar to Haru of Haru to Midori fame, making Sakura's subtly-shared-universe comment even neater). All in all, a brilliant oneshot from a master of the craft. I hope we can see more of Fukaumi's work in the future.

This, I adore the way this one-shot handles the dichotomy between boring moments that go on in repeat versus those unique experiences that Takamine is looking for.
For starters, the characters meet during their daily trip home out of simple coincidence. It was their routine that resulted in that meeting, and even after becoming friends their interactions are built upon the fact that said routine is supposed to continue, since the obligations of school won't disappear together wih the need to travel through public transportation from one day to another.

This means a lot when you take into account that Takamine and Sakura's train schedules align only thanks to the fact that the former quit volleyball, were she still part of the volleyball club she would be leaving school too late to commute together with Sakura, which paints a suprisingly optimistic picture of the way external pressure from society influenced her decision to quit in the first place.
In this context we are presented with Takamine's ordeal: Her environment won't allow her to interact or engage with it due to an apparent lack of emotions, but she's internalized these criticisms to such point that even when she's alone she won't try to do anything without "liking it". A perfect example of this mindset is how Takamine doesn't bother to read her book at first and instead merely flips through its pages, not because she thinks it's boring, rather, her conversation with Sakura reveals she did that because she sincerely believed the book would be unable to make her feel what she was looking for.

What I'm trying to get at here is that is that this cute romance plot is paradoxically kickstarted by two elements straight out of a Kafkian nightmare, a medium that forces the character to go back and forth everyday between her home and a stage where she is unable to fit in without anything ever changing (the train), and a source of attempted self-comfort that only serves to remind this character of how incomplete her integration into society will always be (the book). But then it's all subverted through the power of perspective.
Sakura convinces Takamine to give "Night View" a chance, and despite both the book and the train being the same, she starts to appreciate them anyway thanks to the way Sakura's presence motivates her to keep trying things despite initially giving up on herself, thus turning the routine of commuting back home she used to find dull into something she looks forward to through her own personal change (literally having her hold a book named "Yearning" for this scene was going a bit too far, but I appreciate the visual metaphor nonetheless).

All in all, the story has very sweet theme of how even if the world around you backs you into a corner and it seems like your only choice left is to let indistinguishable days pass and blend into each other, there's always hope you will find a reason to look forward to 'tomorrow' in the end, as shown by the characters' simple promise to see each other again the next day.

That's one hell of an over-analysis, overloaded with words, and even including a stereotypical Kafka name drop. Sometimes a cute love story is just a cute love story. I think trying to tie it into greater themes of self-actualization in a grander sense is absurd.

Also, the reason the book is called "Yearning" should be made extremely apparent by the character thinking "I can't wait to see her again" on the literal next page. If that's a visual metaphor, then it's blunt enough to drive a nail into wood.

I know this series is ecchi and parody and stuff but aren't Sayo's boobs way too big for a 14 year old?

14 is well into puberty for a lot of teens, and development happens at different rates and different degrees. I read a story once (can't remember where) about a girl who's boobs were so big in middle school that she wanted reduction surgery because the other students and even the damn teachers were bullying her over it. It was really disheartening, but it gave me a new perspective. I was a late bloomer, very short and scrawny until my second year of high school. It made me an easy target, but I never thought that being on the extreme other end could do the same.

Anyone else’s interest and excitement for this series slowly evaporating away? For some reason the recent chapters lack the serotonin the first few gave me. The premise was so strong and cute but I feel the recent chapters lacked punch and emotional development between the two characters. We also got no real interior lives and don’t really know much about either of them past Aya feeling like music is something she can only partake in by herself.

I'm not sure what you mean by lacking emotional development. It feels like the story is going somewhere now.

Besties going shopping - sweet
Those shoes with socks are ugly af

Actually it kinda works with that skirt, I guess. They are both stylish 22 year-olds.

(makes me feel challenged as a 21 yo)

Let's agree to disagree as it's a matter of aesthetics and personal taste. Not that I like the skirt btw. All of these IMO are examples of blind following of modern fashion trends guided by big fashion brands to "decutify" and/or "masculinise" women's clothing. It is quite obvious if you follow Vogue fashion runways in the last, say, 5-10 years. The opposite is obviously happening with male clothing. But I digress. Sorry for the offtopic of sorts and a bit of a rant

They're definitely an ugly combination.

Now this is the kind of discussion these forums were made for.
