Nice view of depression, but I really hope the job girls don't become serious players. This story is already crowded enough with the two and a half of them.

^ But bro, cheating is cheating regardless how hot or beautiful is woman with woman (or man with man) :(
Of course it would be different if you both talk about it beforehand

I tried to explain it a bit comprehensively but it just sounded so stupid I couldn't bear to post it. tl;dr men often don't consider women as legitimate competition for their SO's, thus their SO's playing around with a woman is not a threat to their relationship, whether technically "cheating" or not. Toss in heterosexuals tending to aesthetically enjoy homosexual behaviour of the opposite sex, and you've got "my girlfriend cheating on me with another girl is hot and cool."

I don't understand the people keep calling it a poly ending instead just saying it's a harem.

3 people in a relationship is still poly, whether it's reciprocated every which way or not, so...?

Its needle could be stuck under the skin and cause quite severe allergic reactions, and it requires quite a hassle to be squeezed out

Really nice to see educational content, even in threads like this. Thanks for the tip!

Not really sure what the supposed problem is, I think this comment section is good. Thanks everyone for staying civil (mostly).

Yuni has no self esteem, Nanase is a manipulator, and Fuuko rocks. I am sure Yuni cannot break up with Nanase because Nanase is good in bed. Anybody who has any self esteem would dump Nanase right there and then. Obviously Nanase actually does not mind being seen as a lesbian, because she is close to other girls, including holding hands. Somehow she does not want to associate with Yuni. At the end of the day. Yuni is just a fu**buddy of Nanase.

This feels like bait, but maybe that's just what happens when you disagree with somebody.

Yuni obviously has SOME self-esteem, as shown by placing herself above Nanase's old crush. Yuni just seems frustrated that she can't spend any intimate time with her girlfriend.

You can classify Nanase's actions as manipulative, but I don't think it's out of maliciousness. To me she just seems like a busy milquetoast who's deeply anxious over a past poor experience with being seen as gay.

Fuuko is pretty obviously pushing Yuni towards cheating on her girlfriend, or at the very least being quite intrusive (she literally voyeured Yuni and Nanase), which personally makes me place her in "stinky" tier rather than "rocks" tier.

Really good post btw, the beginning was funny and poignant.

Something similar actually happened to a friend. (for real tho, a friend, not me lol)

They were texting their mother at the time. I really want to tell this story, but I also don't want to betray their trust (even though it's really REALLY fucking funny)

...

Fuck it, they'll never know.

You're right, top-tier story. Mine isn't as good, but eh. I sent a guy friend who is not super comfortable with the gays this video titled "Korra's Burning Love for Asami Ignites" on accident a year ago and then said "whoops." He replied with a simple "lol" and I was just hysterical at my mistake for the rest of the day.

Okay you got me. I was trolling a bit. I've always equated the word wholesome with rated G, and thought that they put Wholesome on this story to be funny. Which annoyed me. I realised the flaws in my plan, to bookmark the Wholesome page for my niece, almost immediately and scrapped it weeks ago. I brought the plan up here, in bad faith, to give my complaint garitas.

While I have NO problem with this story, or ANY of it's contents, I still don't agree with the Wholesome tag. However as long as people really see this story as wholesome and not just listed as Wholesome for a joke, I concede the point. I learned a long time ago, it's pointless to argue over the meanings of words, on the message boards.

While we do definitely have meme tags and tags that are used in a silly manner, I hope you won't see any completely misleading tag uses like that since it kinda defeats the point. (I didn't tag this one, but I can see why it's tagged the way it is and definitely don't think it was a joke.)

I don't usually like blogposting, but I wanted to share this - mostly because it transformed my opinion of this story from "This is fun and quirky story, not bad" to "This story has left me a sobbing mess, someone help me."

I read it a few days ago mind you, but only today, after saying something out loud that was practically line-by-line right out of the story, did I realize how similar my feelings are to Lappi's. Not as a plush of course, but being ace and in a relationship with someone for a very long time now but never feeling adequate or worthy enough to be their partner. I realized that even the witch at the start - telling Megu that her love is nothing but self deception - echoes the same doubts that have plagued my mind for a decade now.

I don't wanna start spilling my own guts all over the place, but I encourage anyone who's grappled with feelings like that to read it through those lens, because it really is something special to me now.

Kinda hurt, but good blog. I'm glad you wrote it.

On the subject of tag suggestions, I have several that have been pending for long times, including one for over a year. Should I point these out somewhere, try re-making the suggestion, or just kind of hope they eventually get noticed? I'm not really heated up about this or anything, and not super confident in all of them, but there are some I definitely think belong.

Sorry for the delay, but I would basically say the same as above. In the near-future we'll have a much better system internally for responding to tag suggestions. At that point, outstanding suggestions (especially the really old ones) will be addressed in bulk waves, and newer suggestions should consistently be addressed within a few days.

Cheating tag preemptively added. It doesn't matter if the story doesn't treat the cheating element seriously or use cheating as a theme. Some readers actively wish to avoid such content, so it's being tagged for their sake.

Bisexual will not be added for now. This is not for lack of evidence, really. The older character is clearly married to a man and interested in someone of the same sex. However, we do not tag incidental bisexuality for (essentially) meaningless or off-screen characters. If the husband becomes more prominent, or bisexuality is explored as a theme, we'll re-visit it at that time.

If you wish to discuss tags further, please hop over to the Help thread. Cheers.

I have a tag suggestion that's still pending, but the tag has since been added to the manga. Is there a way to cancel a tag suggestion?

I'm afraid not! However, it will be picked up when we get to it. At the moment I'm sort of focused on optimizing the tag suggestion rather than addressing individual requests. Sorry about that!

I understand that there is a form for suggesting/requesting uploading series, but how does it work uploading to the "Images" category?

You may use the same form for image requests. You may include multiple source links, or a link to a second host (like Imgur) if you so wish. If the latter, please help us out by including a reference to where the source links may be found. Also it's not my area of the site, but we do get dozens of image requests every single day, so there's never any guarantee that such limited space will see many requests filled.

I wish I never read it.

Not because it is bad. Though it does lacking, and the, the MC is a creep sometimes.

But because the comment section and meta level. Erika Friedman calls all yuri male fans "losers"? Some sorry lesbian on the internet wants all the guy authors to quit and is enraged because yuri is not always match with her very specific expectations? What kind of shit is this? Why all this hate?

It's a really old thread so I don't have much to say but I did wanna say this. You will find very few folks interested in standing up for Ms. Friedman, but she has (sort've) reneged on her previous comments and no longer refers to male yuri fans that way. In any case, best to ignore disrespectful folks who clearly have no idea what they're talking about. (maybe it's too easy for me to say since I'm not a dude tho)

Well, she is a teen. I just read they should get 8-10 hours of sleep. (And later than younger kids, too.)

Yeahh, how society messes with teen's sleep is seriously unhealthy. Don't think that was really the intended message for this story though, lol.

Few small tag updates.

Fuzoroi no Renri now has pairing tags, as follows: Iori x Minami, Heke x Shinohara, Saori x Shizuku, Kujou x Sugimoto. (These are yet to be applied, I'll get there.)

Fake History and Historical were inconsistently applied and sort of redundant, so they've been merged into just Historical for all content with those themes.

Added an Exes (Ex-Girlfriends) tag for content featuring exes, please suggest away if you'd care to contribute to this new tag!

As always, we're open to new tag suggestions, feedback or questions that can help us better define the existing tags on the site. Thanks.

The meaningful looks are one of the great things about yuri/lgbt media in general. I can’t get enough of ambiguous loaded staring, they always make my heart flutter

Hey, so I submitted an image upload request and was wondering, was I supposed to upload it to a site like Imgur first and then put the link to that?

Any image host is fine, as long as it's on the internet it's plenty for us. We do get dozens of image requests per day and that's not my area, but if the person in charge of that wants to upload it and we get permission to do so, it should be up soon.

Unfortunate the updates take so long for this manga, especially when its near its end. I guess white garden scans gave up on their schedule. Honestly hope I never see what garden scans again

Scanlators spend their precious free time working to provide entertainment to you, free of charge or burden. Comments like are disrespectful, and unacceptable in all circumstances. Please refer to Rule 4 for further information, and don't post like this again. Thank you.

Finally some good fucking subtext

That sleeve grab

when you're so close yet so far~ hgnnnnn

Literally the tag line of Subtext

When you want to tell the MCs “Get a room!” when the whole premise of the series is that they’ve already got a room.

Ugh, I hate this lol, good job.

^^Agreed. The art is so cute!! my furry tendencies are being fed well aahck >///< I love the whole vibe of this series. The type of feel good series that you'd want to read after a long day at work.The werewolf/vampire lore is a bit all over the place but I can forgive it in the name of yuri ^w^)b
Also, with how the story is progressing, needs a Romance tag?

Heck yeah!

Tehyar posted:

Anyone reading this will automatically know she's a female because of the clothing. Why? Because Japan. My reply to the OP in that post was to provide a counterpoint to call them out on how pointlessly condescending they were being.

Sorry, I don't really follow your reasoning there. However, I'll grant that person was being rude and have no issues with your reply to them. My response was perhaps less to you and more a general read of the thread, but I did quote you so to take offense is fair.

The cues you mention were still subtle and not necessarily telling - more clothing, and dudes can blush too. Yet you ignore the major male cues and reach the conclusion that she can only be female.

No, I didn't say that. The use of a negative is admittedly confusing, but I only took issue with those who are "convinced she is not a woman." One could be unsure of her gender and my statement would have nothing to do with them, I was pretty much in this uncertain camp till the end because I wasn't sure where the story was headed.

Then you go on to make a bunch of really condescending remarks about real people and their choices, concluding that this conversation is somehow oppressing the freedom of young females.

Apologies for the condescension, but I really don't mean to imply that anyone is being "oppressed" by forum comments. I imagine some comments here could make someone feel bad about themselves. That's it. I sought to add some context (both real and fictional, including in this story) to the conversation because I saw very little of it otherwise, and reading the same thing over and over isn't very fun. Doing it as aggressively as I did surely undercut that effort though, so it was stupid of me to do that.

If it will improve the quality of your world you can delete me.

Nah, I appreciate the discussion. Sorry that I don't have anything more interesting to say really, I understand why you reacted the way you did. Hopefully it's clear why I did too. Cheers.
