This started out interesting but keeps getting dumber and dumber now... Just how much is the MC willing to do for some simple make-up lessons?

Chapter 11 just made me let out the most disappointing sigh. Well, I'll still keep following this train wreck but I would've hoped for something more interesting out of this.

To be honest, pan pizza is better than (home) oven pizza. Of course proper pizza oven pizza is the best.

I've been really lazy at gaming lately so just "Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood" (PC) and "Honkai Impact 3rd" (Mobile) for me.

-_- really, an 8th grade girl that acts like a super horny highschool guy, and her friend isn’t creeped out at all.

Girls can be horny too! And they should be allowed to!

The lot of you can relax; there's no power dynamic here. It's two girls of the same age in love exploring their first time, and there was a clear line establishing boundaries in case the "lesser-experienced" one didn't like what was happening. Consent is frequently requested and there isn't any deceit involved in the act. Ironically, this one-shot involving a character initially unacquainted with the concept of sexual activity has a healthier portrayal of lovemaking than almost all erotic material I've seen out of manga in general.

If you think this is manipulative or creepy, you might want to consider why you associate sex with being inherently harmful on a base level and probably brush up on how abuse actually plays out.

I never made any claims that sexual activity is harmful, nor did I say that Misaki is a pedophile herself: just that the way she went about this could be really close to how one would act with their victim, by using sweet words to manipulate the victim into touching without knowing what's really happening.

People who defend this story so aggressively seem to assume that Kokoro knows they're having sex, while the its pretty clear she doesn't know. Her partner is fully aware and keeps talking about it in roundabout way which makes its looks so manipulative. First times are awkward but I would hope in most cases people are at least aware they're having their first time, something Kokoro doesn't seem to realize.

Well she is feeling embarrassed by having to explain even the most basic concepts to Kokoro and she knows it might not even really register with her, if she just try to describe it, so the best way was to just do it. And in the end sex is all about touching each other and feeling good. There isn't really 1 way to do it and most of it happens in the moment, so she really couldn't explain it better than she did "I'll touch you in various places". It feels like what bothers you is the fact, she didn't use word sex. And explaining everything as they go is also out of question, since as we saw Kokoro constantly asking question was just ruining the mood. You can't just stop at every step and methodically explain what you're doing and what the purpose of it is while having sex. And again, despite all that, Misaki constantly make sure Kokoro is ok with everything and she isn't feeling uncomfortable or anything. She isn't being forced and can refuse at any point. And also remember, it was Kokoro who asked Misaki to make her feel the same way Misaki felt. And the most important part, they are a loving couple. Kokoro is constantly worried about Misaki and vice versa. I really can't see it as anything more than couple's first time.

The point I'm trying to make it that Misaki is basically taking advantage of Kokoro's lack of knowledge. Kokoro asking questions and being confused about what's happening is pretty strong indication that at least one of the participating parties is not aware they're having sex, while its clear the other one is fully aware and rather than tell what's happening Misaki is just telling Kokoro to just go with it. That is rather manipulative.

That was cute and sexy at the same time. Also on topic of Kokoro's obliviousness. While her knowing absolutely nothing feels a bit stretchy, if I was never told masturbation exist, I would probably never experiment with my body, so I can somehow buy it.

Cute, but also creepy. Rather manipulative. I imagine this is similar how to pedophiles might manipulate children.

Lol? A couple has sex. Idk what is creepy or manipulative about it. Misaki told Kokoro few times to say when she wants to stop and she never did.

So much sweat it almost spilled out of the monitor.

Lovely atmosphere. Loved this pairing in the show.

Also, I found something really interesting too: Skirts No Longer Mandatory For Girls’ Uniforms At A Japanese Middle School. Japan seems to be trying to break gender norms over the past years. "Taiyo Middle School, located in the Kanagawa Prefecture city of Hiratsuka, is notably breaking gender norms to make some progress when it comes to the official school unform. Now in its 71st year, the school will no longer require its female students to wear skirts. They will be able to choose between them or slack pants. The school also wants its female students to understand that the skirt will not be pushed on them as the main uniform–both options will be treated and weighted equally". This really makes me happy.

As someone who loves skirts this makes me sad.

Why? Being able to choose is a great thing.

I'd say the focus of this story is the curse and how the curse's story changes over time, the characters don't matter.

I liked this one. Kind of fitting for Halloween, too!

Sooo what I'm getting from this is Emi is asexual? But has possessive issues? I dunno...maybe if I reread it, it'll make sense. Dunno what to make of their relationship now. Didn't know it'll just end...like that.

Pretty much what I managed to get from this...

is yama no susume yuri or super friendship?

Super friendship. But you should watch it anyway, its chill and good.

there not typing but using voice chat? oof imagine twitch voice chat XD

Please no. That's proper spoopy stuff.

Well... Ok... I guess.

The day Claudine manages to finally top Maya is the day the world ends. Maya is an unstoppable steamroll-top while Claudine is the wannabe-top who ends up bottom every time, no matter how hard she tries.

Good stuff. Some nice thicc curves, too!

Its not really that weird considering its been like 10 years since they last saw each other and there's a whole puberty thing to consider, too.

Interesting story. I do wonder if it would have worked better as an original work with original characters, though.

Its a really good show and the subtext is everywhere, don't even need yuri goggles.

Cute.

Best kind of sandwich.
