Poor peanut. Go find another girl to treasure you; no one needs a liar.

Truer words were never spoken.

My take comes from the Western movie Unforgiven:

“Deserve’s got nothing to do with it.”

Hiroko is by now as likeable a character as sheriff "Little Bill" Daggett.

"I love you!"
"(Hm. She's lying. She doesn't love me, she loves boobs! I'll make her admit it!)"

The idiot couple to end all idiot couples.

I think this is the fourth or fifth series I've read with this start... looks good tho

This kind of start is a full blown trope at this point. It's like if you want to have Otome or Villainess Yuri, this is almost "required".

On this subject, there's something I myself wonder about.

Villainess yuri is supposed to be a deconstruction & reconstruction of common otome romance tropes. Especially the one about the heroine's love interest having an evil fiancée who is jealous of the heroine, and bullies her, and is eventually punished and humiliated for her bad deeds.

And every time a yuri manga shows this, it's always the same scene: in some kind of public place, in front of a huge crowd, the prince hugs the heroine and points his finger towards the villainess and yells that their engagement is over. He then goes on to list all the evildoings of the villainess, and trumpets his love for the common-born but angelic heroine.

What I would like to know is: are there really so many otome games where a scene like this happens? All these details seem so precise and definite: the hall full of nobles, the finger-pointing, the yell "So-and-so! Our engagement is cancelled!" and so on and so forth. Is it a trope that you expect to find in every otome game? Or is it a parody of one particular famous work? Or a combination of both?

Miss company boss, with the huge ribbon in her hair? She's my new hero.

Make a new manga series for her.

I mean no one is saying it's good or complex. It's fucked but that's why it's kinda fun?

Nah... Not really... It's just a mess.

For someone who dislikes this series, you sure comment a lot.

That he does. Too bad he doesn't make much sense.

There must be a zillion movies and tv shows with a male lead who has a girlfriend and then, at some point, a rival character appears and comes on to the male lead's girl so artfully that she's seduced and starts wavering between the two. When this happens, the male lead is expected by EVERYONE to fight with everything he has to win back his girl! Because if he said "Oh so she's attracted to some other guy? How dare she? What a slut! He can have her!" all the other characters and the viewers would see him as an idiot and a loser. This is just common sense.

Somehow a new school of thought has developed lately—that claims that if you start dating someone then that person belongs to you and any display of attraction towards someone else is an unforgivable sin. I dunno how to call it, the dumb ass school? In opposition to the common sense school that says that if you want to keep somebody at your side your whole life then you'll have to keep working at it your whole life.

The Gyaru tag is wrong.

The character Mishima is obviously inspired in whatshername from "The Guy She Was Interested in Wasn't a Guy At All" series. Y'know, the record store girl who likes rock and looks like a guy.

But that's totally 100% not a gyaru.

Mishima's casual look can be called rocker style, grunge style, ghetto style, soft butch style, oh, lotta things—but she's nothing like a gyaru.

Ayaka should realize it's time to change tactics. Instead of using the direct approach. Ayaka can play it cool. Maybe she could start a little "girl talk" and work in a story about how her last girlfriend dumped her for guy or something just to show Hiroko, they are playing for the same team.

She could also have taken advantage of the situation when they were drinking. Alcohol is the universal answer to romantic obstacles. She could have feigned inebriation to then pounce on Hiroko and demand sex.

But Ayaka is too pure for that...

Sometimes the jumps in the timeline make me confused. (>_<)
When did this cute patpat moment happen? Is it a vignette from the past?

Good tonguework, Mio-chan.

I'm concerned about their problem coming at the same time.
It's not that difficult to hug and kiss and finger each other down there—and come both at the same time. Or, if you wanna use your tongues no matter what, a 69 position.

If they really don't know about these simple things, they need to watch some lesbian porn instead of whatever romantic blockbuster they were watching.

Edit: Forget what I said about the sequel. This is them!

Author Ringocha has drawn at least three pieces with these two characters. (If there are more, there aren't in the Dynasty archive.)

There's this manga, and the short sequel mentioned above; and then there's this:

We learn a lot of interesting tidbits from this one-page little thing:

First, the two have started living together.

Second, Yui likes sharing her pet with other lesbian girls.

And third, the M girl is named Satou! (⁀ ᗢ⁀)
(Thx goodness! I was afraid we'd have to refer to her as the M with No Name...)

im surprised we haven't been flocked with more art post finale...

Ngl I've thought the same thing before...

Kasumi is such a chick magnet.

Ah, I've lost track of Kirishima's... liaisons about 30 chapters ago. :D Nakano is the only one I still recognize, if only because she popped up the most so far...

I see you only care about endgame. (͠≖ ͜ʖ͠≖)

Why are you asking ME Author san?!

Eh I think that wasn't the author; that was the magazine editor.

Mom... she sure knows her stuff.

Lolicon is the Japanese national kink. Men, women, everyone's bitten. (͠≖ ͜ʖ͠≖)

I have no idea how I managed to miss the entire volume 8 here (except, apparently, for he last two specials). Well, caught up now, hurting from laughing too much... :D

You got to read the whole volume in one go? Lucky you.

Also that look back to the building by Yunduo.. Was that a "I know what's up with them" type look back or a "shit now I have competition for Mu" type of look back?

Yunduo is a married woman and a mother of two, and she has for a long time been pushing Xiaoen to get herself a husband. Heck, for Xiaoen's birthday she and her children gave Xiaoen a talisman to help her find a boyfriend. There isn't even the inkling of a shadow of a hint that Yunduo has a romantic interest in Xiaoen. If anything, that look back to the building meant: "Shit, now she's crushing on some girl! When will she grow up, stop the nonsense and find herself a man?"

Yunduo is a sharp one indeed.

That she is, but...

Let's be honest, you don't need to be sharp to be onto these two.

^ Yo lo que no entiendo es lo del papel de aluminio. Cuando la carne en la parrilla está a punto (al punto que querés) se saca y se sirve en la mesa. ¿De dónde salió eso de envolverla en aluminio y esperar horas? ¿Para qué? ¿Es una técnica de barbacoa yanqui o algo así?
Yo, ni idea. ¯⧵_(°_°)_/¯

"Dangers of the Sea"
"Predators of the Sea"
"Dangerous Sea Creatures"
"Guide to CPR"
"First Aid for Dummies"

Lmao x 1000

Congratulations to the scanlation team for the effort.

Kirk en la serie es un santo. Un angelito. No piensa más que en la felicidad de Sam y no hace más que sacrificios por ella. Un disparate.
En la novela le ponía los cuernos, le hacía chantajes emocionales, era mezquino y egoísta, y para frutilla de la torta trataba de violarla. Esto último, por cierto, es lo que resuelve finalmente el conflicto entre Sam y su abuelita: cuando la abuelita se entera de lo que Kirk trató de hacer a su nieta le abofetea la jeta, lo manda al diablo y anula el compromiso. Y así Sam puede volver con Mon. Los cambios no salieron nada buenos.

Last panel gave me a jumpscare. Bad author! Bad! Aizawa is not like that!

desperately need more bottom suletta, it just works.

... Is there any other Suletta?
