Very cute, thanks for the translation!

^Eh I wouldn't count this as NTR. Especially since Kiara recently liked some ship art with her and Ina haha

This seems real predatory to me as a lesbian myself,,, so I feel like im gonna drop it esp after reading a bit thru this third chapter. I wish we had more stories that seemed made by us yk? It doesn't have ro be non-sexual because to some of us it can be an important aspect of the relationship. But whatever this is just aint it for me.

So wait...do we actually know if this series is made by an LGBT person or not? Or is that simply an assumption. Correct if I'm wrong, but Mangaka especially aren't typically open about their own gender and sexual orientation. Plus I've seen so many different opinions over the years from so many different people on what counts as a "good lesbian manga", often opinions that clash with each other because everyone is different and has different opinions even if they share the same sexual orientation. There's no 1 definitive take in any sexual orientation. So I think you'll get hetero, lesbian, bisexual, and so fourth people that enjoy this manga, and you'll get ones that also don't.

How does anyone, regardless of gender or sexuality, make it through a 2 hour porno?

I don't disagree, but funnily I think that can be said about a lot of things. How some people binge watch certain reality TV shows for hours is also equally beyond me for example. I guess people are just entertained, even if I don't get it myself.

You're unlikely to get a blister down there watching a reality tv show for hours.

I suppose that depends on what kind of reality tv shows you watch, also maybe people that watch porn for 2-hours just watch it for the plot or something lmao

Bruh rgose buttholes are darker than my future

I could only focus on those I don't know why

They're blackhole drawing in your attention maybe.

This was nice and to the point. I always appreciate NSFW Yuri, especially since it seems like less NSFW Yuri is translated and maybe made than NSFW Futa, Yaoi, Hetero. Why can't we have more things like this, and less "Ugly Bastard" hetero works? The world is a strange place if you ask me.

^Ah okay, thank you for the added context and information. Also @kirakazumi I feel like I'm not entirely well enough informed on the details sorry, so I think someone else that's a bit more in the know than I am would be better off giving more information about the author.

Just to be clear, this is by someone at Kyoani correct? Not the creator of Sound Euphonium that got upset about people shipping the characters, and forcefully wrote in hetero romance just to be petty (from what I know anyhow), I'd be surprised if that author ever did yuri.

Sex is definitely a better way to solve problems over violence.

^This would be pretty ambitious for Saburouta lol

Pretty sure she just had dinner.

Nothing like some gay sisterly bonding.

Hold hands, kiss, have sex, marry, have science babies...

But asking her out, no way!

Don't you know? Dating the person you love is far more perverse than having sex with them.

I think the physical violence in the end was unneeded and the author could have gone differently about it, because it leaves too many holes about how Japanese society works.

Ah so just like actual physical violence that's unneeded, and happens all the time within families in real life. Which I personally think this one-shot depicted realistically. I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "leaves too many holes about how Japanese society works", but the physical violence is something that I'm glad the author is bringing attention to, because I don't think a lot of people realize just how common physical violence in families is. It's a very real problem that needs to be brought to attention more often.

In spite of the dark tag and subject matter, this was actually really cute and funny! The whole scene of Hina chasing Nao was like the epitome of laugh-crying. I think I could relate to most of the characters in this, too. And what gorgeous and expressive art! Pheww.

Amazing story, and what a wonderful job on the translation. This is the kind of thing that got me into manga in the first place, it's way too rare. Thanks so much for sharing!

Edit: and go follow Chariot!

Yeah the author is absolutely incredible, and they're definitely worth a follow on Twitter. I'd also highly recommend the event link in their bio, that's their main OC couple.

Oh and if the author is okay with it, I'd love to see more of their works translated in the future! I think they'd easily become an instant Dynasty community favorite.

hi! author here. i should have said it on Twitter with more context, Nao and Hina are best friends at the end but how their relationship will turn romantic or familial is up to your imagination. i meant that "i" prefer they stay friends but thats just my opinion.
Anyways, thank you for all the support<3 it means so much to me. (sorry for my poor English)

I have confirmed on twitter this is indeed Chariot-san. I'll leave the tags as is for now, but might change it again based on this new info and what people decide.

I think it should entirely depend on what the author wants, if they reach out again or if you could get some confirmation from them about the tags. I genuinely wish to respect the author's wishes, and their intended vision for the story. I was giving some thoughts and opinions on my preferences, and I feel bad that the author came here to clarify that the story is open to reader interpretation. As I said, I definitely don't mind it when authors are clear cut about their intended vision, and I have no desire to change anything based on my preferences and/or wishes/desires.

Thanks for the comment, and your English is great! I understand the desire to have them be friends, and the way you built up the narrative is fantastic. Thank you so much for this amazing story, and your fantastic art!

Edit: Also apologies if I was rude at all, I definitely did not intend to be.

I should mention the Kiss Hina gave Nao was implied to have been Familial, being a callback to how she kisses her family members. So, although this is just subtext a Yuri Author put in to sprinkle their work, it does play into that theme of familial love

Yeah I understand this as well. The affection shown is set up as the type of physical affection she shows for her family, and the familial contact the other girl longed for. So I understand why the friends angle is what the author was aiming for. Still interesting how it's easy to perceive this Yuri without the author's afterword.

Edit:

Yeah, that kiss can easily be read as Yuri but remember that Hina kisses her family members, too, so the scene was tryna implicate how Nao is her family

Ah I was probably typing this last comment of mine when you were submitting this, so I didn't see it until after submitting my own comment. I agree with you, and understand that's the built up narrative the author was aiming for, it's smart in my opinion even if I'd like them to be involved romantically.

The Mangaka is a Yuri Author, after all, so you could argue it's either habitual or there to help spice up the story through cute undertones

Yeah that's part of what I was saying to Dayer, people like myself in part expected Yuri because of the author. I've been following them for awhile on Twitter, and they're great.

And if you're sad this doesn't end in romance: trauma in real life isn't always solved with a romantic partner. Sometimes it's just about finally having people you can trust who care about you. This story is the start of Nomura's healing, not the end.

Oh of course, a good support network is important regardless of romance or friends. I think the main reason why people, or at least myself, were hoping for romance is that they have a very sweet dynamic. Plus the creator frequently makes Yuri, so they attract a certain audience with their works, and it's part of why it's a bit of a surprise that it's entirely only meant to be friends here.

Amazing! The Mangaka responded to me asking her if the two girls end up together or stay as family!

That being said, this calls into question whether the Yuri Tag should still be on here or if it should be replaced with the Subtext Tag or removed altogether

Interesting, thanks for the info! While I'd love this to be Yuri, the tag should probably be removed to respect the author's wishes. Plus I mean friendship is great as well. Though I am a little surprised, since with the kiss and the handholding at the end, I thought it was implied that they were going to develop into more than friends, especially with the mom teasing them about it. I guess sometimes it's hard to understand the author's intentions just from reading a story, especially since interpretation will vary between different readers. That's why I personally prefer it when author's say, "I'll leave it up to your imagination" as a response for such questions, but I also understand why authors want to have a clear cut narrative.

That was an absurdly adorable read, thanks for the translation!

1) The best revenge is a life well-lived
2) The prime motivator for abuse is control. There doesn't need to be a reason beyond that.

You know, if you had gone through that situation, you wouldn't say that. The best revenge would be if the person who hurt you dead. Obviously you wouldn't kill nobody but thinking about that is like... peace. When you dream about sleeping without fear. Living without pain. What a fucking pleasure.

And I know this sounds horrible, sorry.

That sounds unhealthy, and like serious therapy is needed.

2) The prime motivator for abuse is control. There doesn't need to be a reason beyond that.

That as well yeah, a lot of abuse stems from a desire for control.
