Why is everyone so horny for chloe

Curse of being the only sane woman in an ecchi manga.

Well, I finished it now. Despite all my complaining, I did genuinely like this for the most part, and it definitely feels like it was worth it to come back to. Sena and Kiku didn't have a super intense dramatized relationship despite the premise, and it definitely took some time for it to feel like there was a relationship at all, but I like where it wound up, and the journey to get there felt pretty satisfying on the whole? I just wish the bits with Yuuna held more weight or weren't so... vague, I guess, given her supposed importance to the narrative and both of the leads. This was solid on the whole... it's just not one I think I'm gonna remember too strongly.

...Chapter 20 confused me. I feel like I missed some vital subtext in that conversation, or else it was just needlessly vague. Also, the groom being brought up also just highlights how much of a nonentity he is lmao. The incest side of all of this just feels kinda underbaked and unexplored despite how central it is to the story, and it feels weirdly inconclusive that Sena's feelings towards Yuuna still haven't been properly discussed, even if she's more-or-less moved on by now?

I'm a weirdo who likes incest and thinks the taboo is overblown, but the story has managed to convince me pretty well that even if it weren't for her marriage and apparent straightness, Yuuna is genuinely not a good option for Sena just on a personality level, and Kiku is the right woman for her. But at the same time, I just wish this side of things was explored better, because it feels like whenever Yuuna shows up, the writing dances around any sort of serious meaningful confrontation of what's between them, and then carries on as if some big shift has occurred anyway. The first time was one thing, but now it's twice that it's happened, and it's kinda driving me up the wall.

Maybe I'm just stupid and not getting the subtext; but in comparison to the whole extended flashback sequence and serious discussion of Yuuna and Kiku's short-lived relationship, or literally everything between Kiku and Sena, there is a precedent for a more upfront sort of discussion that keeps getting glossed over between the sisters. I'm cool with the story not ending in incest, that was pretty apparent from the start; I just wish the author wouldn't keep shying away from it if it's going to be included as such a major factor in the first place.

I liked Volume 3 more, it feels like there's some meaningful forward motion happening now - even if what it took to kickstart that didn't quite work for me, I can't complain about the results since then. It feels like there's finally some semblance of actual chemistry happening between Kiku and Sena, lol.

Finally rereading and finishing this now, and I'm at the halfway mark in chapter 11 right now. And NGL, I'm not sure how I feel about it so far. I normally don't mind these sorts of slow-burn, introspective pieces, but it simultaneously feels like we've gotten past the Yuuna thing way too quickly, in the span of her visit, and also like nothing has happened and Sena's still in the same position she started - depressed and unable to get invested in anything, in a way that's honestly kind of undermining my own level of investment. At least she's attempting to do things, but again, it simultaneously feels like not enough development, but also a rushed and unearned development given what's happened so far. Idk, I'm just not entirely vibing with it so far... but I'll keep going with it, hopefully the back half will feel better to me.

This was an interesting one, I liked it. Small and human.

This was really sweet. We desperately need more yuri incest out there.

Well, this seems fun! I'm always down for Vampires, though I do have to wonder how she's gotten by without blood for the past 400 years.

Picture this.

~Snip for Brevity~

...ok.

I really like this so far!

Oops, might have wanted to double-check your plans before making that cake...

Charming indeed...

D'awwww, I loved this one~

I'm really curious how Estelle is gonna factor into this. I liked all the jokes with the jealous villainess misunderstanding Serena, but I feel like the status quo has shifted, and I hope it doesn't just shift back now that the engagement is annulled.

She was lowkey hoping she'd join her in bed, wasn't she?

Hope they don't live somewhere that gets snow in the winter. Unless she's just immune to cold, but even then I imagine sleeping outside in subzero temperatures wouldn't feel great.

Ohh, this is fun

This was lovely! But poor Claire... Hope we get that sequel, I want to see more of her life as a single mother but like, happier.

I really loved this. I wish it could get a revival someday...

This seems interesting.

PolyPolyPolyPolyPolyyy

Aaaaaaa this is hard
I'm definitely rooting the most for Raimu and Kanna, though also with potential for Natsuko? The only one I'm not really invested in is the volleyball jock gal, she's just kinda there. I want poly with the other three, honestly, but this seems like a situation where everyone is too monogamous for that to work.

So, we all agree that after Emielle graduated she finds her again, they get married, and live happily ever after yes?

Yup! That's what I'll choose to believe.

Anyway, this was sweet. Not perfect, far from, but I'm glad I finally read it. And I think this is one that will stick with me.

Just finished chapter 7... I guess I'll find out later, but I wouldn't put it past twintails to tell a distorted version of events or outright lie, make Yukka out to have always been a psycho, and set her and Eve on a path of mutual destruction so she has Emi all to herself.

In fairness, Yukka now definitely seems to be a problem, the trauma of her senpai's death sending her over the edge into toxic possessive behavior, whereas previously she was willing to let Emi go. But I still don't trust that other gal one bit.

While this isn't bad, I think this would be way better without the Bocchi-type MC, she just doesn't fit with the rest at all, there's no chemistry between the 3 and her, like 2 different mangas cohabitating for some weird reason

I think that's the point, to a certain degree. Girl is trying to become part of a pre-existing friend group with their own weird dynamic, and it's gonna take her some time to find her own rhythm with them.

The humor is fun so far, but I'm especially enjoying the sincere moments~

Huh. This was weird. Ah well.

This looks fun :3

Though damn, ungrateful much? If a shooting star appeared as a cute girl and offered to be my girlfriend I would absolutely say yes.
