I guess page 21 was a transition to after the party, elsewhere? Otherwise their embrace and kiss would've had an audience ...

Arguably one of the great accomplishments of the Love Live! series is making you forget that idol fans are typically male. :-)

Even in Germany, they love the NicoMaki.

I enjoyed this one. The balance between their bickering & their actual honest communication was pretty well done.

Agreed. I often find authors overdo the bickering. Ooshima Tomo usually goes light on it, which I like, but laying it on a little thicker makes it satisfying when it's resolved ... preferably between the sheets.

Ooshima Tomo's Nico is the best Nico! How do they keep finding new stuff of hers?

Oh, and especially cute Nico drawing by Hirako.

Nice to see the author give an endorsement to "Nicotori" - it flows perfectly! Why does everyone insist on "KotoNico"?

However, once again, am I the only one getting tired of all this absurd over-innocence? Kotori thinks she's a "pervert" for wanting to "touch" Nico, and Nico offers her ... hugs? And then she whispers something that makes Nico fly off the handle in disbelief and it turns out to be ... a kiss?? On what planet are you someone's girlfriend when you haven't even kissed yet?!?

I know that Japanese culture is supposed to be a bit more conservative, but ... damn. Seriously?

Wow, and a big ol' NicoMaki manga drop to boot! Happy Birthday Nico!

Being pedantic, but there should also be a Kanan x Mari tag (without Dia) for the penultimate frame

I usually don't care for Yuriwhale's art - I know the absurdist style is a selling point for many, but to me it kills the eros. This one is nice, though.

Good god, does Genshin Impact have some of the best erotic art. It's almost enough to make me want to play a free game.

Sigh Ganju is in the best place right now. Go get it girl.

^ It's a really tired trope tbh. And unsurprisingly, it's from an author that mostly does het shit.

I guess that would figure. It is hard to find decent het manga.

That being said, of course I also want to see Kaoru become a better person, it's not fun to read about someone being an asshole to people who don't deserve it. I'd like to see her struggle and make an actual effort to improve. You know, character development and all that stff

It's the age-old trope - the hotter someone is, the more the audience (or readership) will give them chances to improve. Bad boys and bad girls. If Kaoru wasn't stunningly beautiful, she'd be the "protagonist's creepy friend" trope.

Mod Note

Guess I should've been here a while ago, but better late than never. In the case anyone wishes to make amends, they may do so. Otherwise, we're dropping this particular conversation for the time being. Thanks.

Nevri, whatever our misunderstandings and opinions of each other, I hope we can one day converse when we're being our better selves.

Being terrible to people who you feel are being terrible is never a solution. And lamenting civility immediately after a literal wall of condescension and hostility is disingenuous to put it charitably.

Well, that's why I took ownership of it. Do you think I should delete it? Seems insincere.

Sorry for my chippy response to you earlier. Came at a bad time.

We're clearly past the point of off-topic now. You should really drop it now.

Yes. Agreed.

I'm very used to writing walls of text that then nobody reads/replies to and honestly at this point I barely bother to post, because it feels like a waste of time, so I forgot to thank you in my previous post for proving to me yet again, that it indeed is just a waste of time. I hope you'll appreciate experiencing for yourself how it feels.

Talking only for the record I'd like to state I've read all of Eromancer's posts as well as yours and everyone else's, and I found the debate very interesting. I only wish civility would be a greater concern for all involved.

Yeah, no argument there. I have clearly failed in that regard.

But thank you for reading my posts and not assuming I'm some men's rights incel crusading for heteronormativity. Nobody explicitly said that to me, but it was the vibe I was getting from everone piling on. I was just trying to have a conversation about a relationship in a manga that I find interesting.

I just posted an angry response before this - I should probably delete it but that would be insincere. I promise everyone it will be my last one ever on this forum.

Which is my point. It was obvious you were in a shitty mood. Which is fine - just be honest about it. I didn't want to have a "shitty mood" discussion.

I was considering whatever or not I should specify that I only mean when I was replying to your second post, but for some unyurily reason I figured you'll get it. No clue why, since all the evidence so far was pointing out that you'll misunderstand it again and... here we go.

For Christ's sake. Yeah. Here we go, alright. Let's debunk your latest petty prevarication (I'll use boldface so you can skim more easily):

I was actually in very shitty mood, but despite that I decided to take the high road, even though you'd be perfect place to vent some of my frustration, so be grateful I didn't actually show how me being angry looks like.

You said this in your second post (at 7:15 PM, edited 7:35). Which means you were clearly referring to your first post (at 10:26 AM, edited 10:28). This was in response to my statement about your first post claiming that you were angry.

You had just spent two paragraphs telling me about how you weren't angry in your first post. That you were incredibly civil and calm, and that you curse for emphasis (as you did in your first post) because you're not a native speaker, and now you were telling me that I should be grateful you hadn't actually written in an angry fashion to me - in your first post. Which is what you were clearly talking about.

It's not the fault of anyone's "reading comprehension" that they don't infer something that you didn't say - and obviously didn't mean. I haven't misunderstood anything - your backpedaling is just ridiculously transparent. "Oh I figured it should be obvious what I actually meant ... guess you're just too dim to see it". That's a tired old trick, kid. You think I've never seen someone pull that bullshit before? It reminds me of Trump after Helsinki.

I would say that you're the one with comprehension problems, but we both know that's not true. Your grasp of English is just fine. You're just scrambling for a face-saving lie and getting your story confused. All to avoid the simple courtesy of saying "my bad".

Don't get more pissed at me for saying this. We're both angry, and just like you, I'm resisting fully unloading on you. If you're wondering why I'm persisting, it's because I think, unlike a lot of people online, you could be an enjoyable conversation partner if you could control your temper. As I've had to learn to do. I know you think you hid your anger at first, but you didn't. Which is why I responded the way I did. I was honestly trying to lower the temperature. If that seemed insincere to you, I am sorry about that.

But I proved to you that I was sincere when I replied soon after to the rest of your post - which you probably didn't even read. One would hope you'd at least have had the decency to acknowledge that, since it was the root of our misunderstanding.

I'm guessing you still have no desire to converse. That's a shame. You're thoughtful and intelligent when you want to be (more than I can say for many), but you lack the maturity to admit when you're wrong. So you dig in, start making up excuses, and then hurl childish insults out of embarrassment when called out.

I wish you'd step back, cool down, and reply with some grace and maturity. But I'm fully expecting you to make up some other nonsensical explanation contradicting something else you've previously said, and blame me for not understanding what you clearly didn't mean - or for inferring what you clearly did. I expect this because it seems pretty clear to me that you're quite young, and people don't grow up overnight. Some never do at all.

But I'll be happy to give you a big ol' apology if you prove me wrong. If not, let's drop it.

Awww ... that was really starting to seem sweetly tragic. The comic relief at the end was perfect, though.

Excellent cover art. I'm getting more into Lanzhu. And nice to not have to rely completely on Kitaku for Nijigasaki NSFW.

But am I the only one tiring of this silly trope of the teenage female who "doesn't know about these things"?

You know you could just have edit your first post instead of posting 6 time in a row

Is that appropriate etiquette when responding to different people?

Standpoint epistemology is a weak argument form. Bro.
