The premise sounded so stupid that I expected to hate this, but it was actually really good.

I know some of y'all think this one-shot is a little silly cause of how dense the main character is, but like, listen

There are some dense as fuck lesbians out there. Never underestimate the density of a disaster lesbian.

There was a girl I had been flirting with, for months. She bought me a plane ticket to come visit her, so she'd take me on a date to my favorite place, the aquarium. It was a great date, and that night, after sex, I lay in her bed going "gosh I wish she liked me"

THERE ARE DENSE LESBIANS OUT THERE IS WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY.

Wow. I'm as dense as lead when it comes to cues, but that is some next-level shit. And here I thought the story was exaggerating.

"I'm kind of busy right now."

What a Chad.

These stories are so cute and sweet I'm starting to forget how super fucked-up they actually are.

It's about time, Yagi, you goddamn idiot. You nearly screwed the pooch.

You motherfucker.

This is fucking sick.

Indeed, sick and most excellent my dudes.

Nope, it's just vile. But you do you, bro. Genuinely. As long as no real kids are being hurt I couldn't care less what people get off to.

I feel gross. This was too real. Adultery is the ultimate betrayal.

All the subtle nuance and metaphor in these stories just goes straight over my head.

Oof, relatable.

The gritty, unflinching realism of this one really hits home.

This mangaka is full of surprises.

SOME GUY TO HIS FRIENDS: "So fellas, I'm in a pure relationship with this here high school girl."

[SIRENS]

COP: "Cuff 'im, boys!"

[CUT TO: BLANKET PARTY IN THE BACK OF A POLICE VAN]

This is fucking sick.

Well I'll be damned - actual, genuine ugly people in a yuri manga.

How the turntables.

"And she's sniffing me so much!"

I'm fucking dead. ☠

I honestly though this was going to end up being a horror story where the girl was spirited away by mermaids and never seen again.

I wouldn't say this was rape since everyone involved had ample opportunity to say no/back out. Still fucking creepy and weird, though.

The story wasn't your typical forgone conclusion, and I was actually getting into it a little bit. The sex scenes were actually a distraction and I would have enjoyed this even more if they were toned down some.

Just once I'd like to see one of these things where the new girl shows up, gets molested, and promptly calls the cops. Then the rest of the manga is about everyone on trial for sexual assault as more and more girls come forward, and the defendants all turn on each other as they make plea deals, etc.

Obviously it wouldn't be cute or sexy, but it would be fucking funny as hell.

People really use dental dams? I mean, if someone is that dirty when even go there at all?

Considering all the creepy stalking, grooming, emotional manipulation and blackmail that goes on in these erotic manga, (not to mention the outright r*pe and p*do shit,) there's something almost pure and wholesome about straightforward prostitution between consenting adults. It even seems to be quite grounded and realistic, if heavily idealistic - no seamy underbelly here, or not that they've shown so far - which is nice. It manages to be quite sweet while still being very erotic, and keeps the reader engaged without getting bogged down in endless angst. Since I'm mainly interested in the romance side of things, the 'prostitution' tag almost made me skip this one, but I'm glad I gave it a shot.

Clever. Also, ew.
