Himari is digging herself deeper into this pit of teenage angst with remarkable efficiency.

We've come a long way since Sasameki Koto haven't we?

It really makes me happy to see trans characters written with so much nuance.

Yanxing picking up GuGu to hug her and twirl her around is extremely gay

My thoughts exactly.

Also, if you don't mind me asking, where does your avatar come from, Cornonthekopp?

Thanks. :-)

Possibly my favorite oneshot of all time tbh

Aw come on, let her celebrate and then study!

I don't get wtf is the point of hiding the fact she was invited to a hotel and refused. Like. what? I really don't understand what she's so ashamed of here. She did good, said no to the girl and was faithful to her gf. I genuinely don't get what's going through her mind right now. Best guess she's feeling guilty about still having a thing for her highschool crush or something?

And my god the communication issues in general I swear to god. If it was just about the middle school and highschool thing sure fine, I get it, but they don't communicate on literally anything.

I think the reason is that Miwa is not over her high school crush, and that she’s falling out of love with Saeko, but she doesn’t wanna admit that to herself, let alone to Saeko.

This is exactly the kind of story I think should be told about Nadeshiko and Rin. Passionate romance and high school smut just doesn't really match their vibe.

I've always head canon'd them moving in together during or after college, and then at some point they just notice they're in love. I pictured a futaribeya type relationship where there wasn't a definite start to their relationship, they just seamlessly transitioned from friends to lovers.

As someone who’s a bit newer in the GL scene I’m always interested to read those older works and see how they hold up, and I gotta say Strawberry Shake didn’t disappoint! The series is really cute, funny, and refreshingly open about everyone’s feelings! I binged it all in one night and I regret nothing.

[61] Gen totally bailed before Yuuna got back so he didn't have to say goodbye again. He cried so much last time lol.

I could definitely see that tbh, Gen is such a tsundere lol.

So at this point I think it’s safe to say that Ponko did in fact used to be a war machine of some kind. I was surprised by the bouts of existential dread and depression mixed in with the other personalities, it would make sense if those were fears she had beneath the surface right now, but if each was a fragment of a whole segment of her life then that implies she went through some pretty dark periods of time between war bot and Chiaki nurse…

Does "[You licking up my neck while you play with my nipples] doesn't feel good at all! I don't like it!" count as tsundere?

Maybe?

I definitely don’t like this as much as The Missing I, mostly because of the lack of honest communication (and also adult smut >> high school smut)

Tanaka and Toda have both come a long way huh, good for them

Aaaaaaaaaangst

Thanks for the timeline explanation! I’m glad Yanxing’s mom seemed pretty reasonable, a lot of these types of parents are uber-hardasses who never listen to reason (both in comics and real life) so it was refreshing to see a parent who was sorta receptive to the idea. Definitely helps that Gugu offered to personally tutor Yanxing the whole time, I think as long as she keeps her grades up that’s fine. Pursuing your passions are always more fulfilling than money.

eizouken yuri is underrated but very blessed

This series is so ahead of its time, or maybe I should say it’s timeless? Either way, I come back to this story like once a month just because its so good. Even without a kiss I’d still rate it 9/10 easily

Oh nice, my second favorite story about lesbian prostitutes is back

I’m still sad that we never got to see the granddaughter figure anything out, but it was a decent ending.

Rather than death doing them part, it seems like only in death could they be together forever, just like what Kiyoko wanted all those decades ago…

Oh god not the age regression curses

Honestly my favorite part of this series is how I can relate to a lot of the problems or little hang ups that Inui Ayu has. Being in my early 20’s and still feeling like a kid, it’s nice to see a “real” adult who’s graduated college and still struggles with the same things I do, even if it’s basic stuff like eating well and hygiene.

Makes me feel like, if she can be successful and have a loving partner then so can I

Well that was certainly a loaded photoshoot, this chapter kinda gave me some asumi-chan vibes, specifically the “embarressed but extremely willing” aspects of it

Also, I know this absolutely isn’t the point at all but tamamusi draws really hot guys, my bi heart is quaking

Ooh it’s back! This is definitely one of my favorite series to come out of the recent manhua boom on dynasty so I’m glad to see it back! The character writing is really compelling, I wanna know more about both leads

Shout out to that super smooth coming out from Shou

Lilies are gay, tangerines are gay... It seems like we're making a nice list of gay aromatics
