I gotta ask the difficult question but... There won't be more, right?

This was great. For a oneshot, this managed to squeeze in all the necessary stuff and even play around with it a bit. Really liked how sly the Hiyori was. I also loved Sensei's realization of how dense she was. It also didn't try to reverse their "age roles". While a quirky concept, it's a bit overused nowadays.

Because those two have a goal in life, and that goal is to do things as out of order as possible. So kissing would come after sex. Maybe even after adoption.

Wait, shouldn't adoption come before sex in this case? :P

See they know you would think that, hence why it would come AFTER sex but BEFORE a kiss

(Can you propose a question?)

Not under any marriage laws I know of. Methinks the word you're looking for is pose.

I was just posing that question like a pro. (But thanks friend, I knew there was a better word for that)

Having sex without calling it sex sounds hilarious and I want to see it.

I thought it would be ridiculous. Then again we have that "After Class" manga that someone dubbed "No-homo the manga" so why not going a step further with this one. Kurumi can be like "Oh btw I have this article I was asked to write about lesbian brothels but I have no experience with that kind of thing I wonder if I should do it" And Ruriko being the supportive one will offer to help her research stuff. And also she got her a snack and it's super extra limited edition. So they have sex but it's not sex, it's research. After research, they decide that it was important and stuff and maybe nice so maybe they should do research at least once a week just to be safe. After that Kurumi thinks about how those important feelings and memories will stay with her forever. Meanwhile, we'll get a zoom on Ruriko's face, but no text and we'll think she's thinking about the sex they just didn't have, but in reality, it'll be something else we'll learn in 1-3 chapters after the one they have the research stuff about lesbian brothels. Then someone will come here and pose a question like a pro about if they kissed or not because the scene won't show any kissing, and the answer will be no. Because those two have a goal in life, and that goal is to do things as out of order as possible. So kissing would come after sex. Maybe even after adoption.

So while I enjoy things like this, I gotta propose a question (Can you propose a question? You can now regardless if you could before). What is the next big event? Will we have a slow descent into an actual realization of what they are on Kurumi's side? Will we have the misunderstanding trope that will nudge at the rule about "If one of us actually falls in love with someone"? Or will we have a combo of the two, where one of them misunderstands something, but in the end, it'll turn out that it was just about the love they have for each other?

I mean, they started dating, which they just call differently because we can't admit to it (yet). They're already married, they already live together. What's the next thing that could happen between now and Kurumi realizing "Wow you know what maybe I actually love that girl I married." ... Maybe they can have sex but call it something else and go completely around the fact that they are, in fact, having sex.

When I finished reading this from the first to the current (sixth) chapter, all I did was squint my eyes and let out an audible "hm" at what I experienced...

So uh... Ghost yuri huh?

It's like a weird version of that "Yuugai Shitei Doukyuusei" manga... But instead of sexy stuff, you have... Well. Death? Or dying...?

Also how about extreme sports. Because I'm sure that's why people do that kind of thing. They enjoy the thrill of being close to situations that could potentially kill them. You don't have to pretend to stab someone or set them on fire.

I'd go for a series of this only if some middle ground was the plot point. Because sheesh... That's a yandere in making.

Still, it was an interesting read, I'll give it that. Maybe it was just me, but the fact that both times were flukes was kind of easy to predict. Still, didn't expect that kind of conclusion.

The torn clothes and dirt really set up the mood for this one.

I mean they go out on a romantic date and they kiss, but... Are they really a couple though? (Or is that joke too old now on this part of the site) I apologize.

I loved it, the change of format for this one was also nice. Makes me wish for them to be able to adopt just so we could get a spinoff in the future or something haha.

Now that April's fool is over and all that, and also since the actual serialization started appearing, I gotta say that while I expected something else, I'm still satisfied with what we got.

Also, I already love Capricorn and Cancer (that's... A weird thing to say). I hope their adoption efforts will pay off.

What? Holy crap, this was a very "all over the place" first chapter. But the weird part was that I didn't really feel confused by it. I'm also glad we didn't have to wait for the next chapter/drinking party for the reveal of "who" the person at the hotel was. Considering how obvious it was, if it was kept as some fake secret, it would just be obnoxious.

I like it, can't wait to read more

I'm not sure what's going on. Is Akko bored and Diana offering to summon a tentacle monster to spice things up...?

So we reached the point where they have to face the past. This issue was growing and expanding in the back and just waiting to explode. Not that I'm complaining, considering a similar type of story, here at least it's not something out of the blue and something that anyone saw coming from a mile away. Not sure what Nagisa thought would happen. Let's not control the discussion about how their encounter messed up Nagisa's future, by not allowing her to attend the first choice school. Instead, let's allow the girl who already feels like she's a burden to everyone around, to discover it by herself, so she can fully blame herself for wasting Nagisa's effort.

If it sounds like I'm dissatisfied, I'm actually not. I think that's what makes me like Nagisa. She might be smart with her books, but she's so dumb in any other way. Am looking forward to how this will play out.

Ah yes "Now that I have pushed the plot forward I can take my leave". Although I'm happy about that. I was getting worried we'd get Kobayashi's Ogre drunk or something...

Current chapter aside, considering the gap between it and the last chapter we got, I was "forced" to re-read it from the start, and I won't lie, I really like how Indou changed. It just shows here and there, but it's a nice thing to follow.

As for the current events, our dear auntie is obviously in the wrong, but I can understand why she's acting the way she does. It's a lot of feelings pilled together. It doesn't help that Indou looks so much like her mother, with a little bit of projection, our dear auntie probably sees her as such. It's most likely a little purgatory for her, where she has someone who, in her eyes, is like Chiyo, as if the past came to visit. At the same time, she tries to atone for some sins that she self-inflicted upon herself, while being constantly reminded of everything from the past, desperately trying to avoid the same thing happening. It's like she's attempting to rewrite time, without actually being able to do so.

Now again, I know she's in the bad here, but it's just... I'm not angry, just really sad about her. I do hope that things go well for Indou and Kagami. I also hope that our dear auntie comes to her senses as well. The latter is not because she's an obvious barrier between the happiness of the two, but because I do hope she herself finds some peace.

What's with all the ghosts and spirits in yuri as of late? Regardless, this looks nice. And not a lot of room to mess a premise like this.

The classic "Nobody can hurt them except me!", I'm sure nobody will over-analyze that cliche in what seems to be a fairly lighthearted comedy manga.

Anyways, even though I think I can guess where this is going to go, I think it'll be an alright story.

to be fair she does just say that Ryou is hers and she won't let anyone lay a finger on her. Not really any mention of hurting her. Unless I missed something.

I like the title. You think it'll be about one thing, but in the end, it kind of gets you.

It's a neat story with how sad it is, mostly because of the unresolved issues on both sides. I wouldn't mind a sequel just to see where those two would end up in a few years. Be it to deliver a more happy ending/conclusion or to solidify how utterly screwed they are. Both ways would work.

Now, this is a chapter I've been waiting for. While I accept and enjoy how this story is being told, I won't lie I'll take this silly fluff between Matsuri and Miss Sunflower over any kind of side characters and/or backstory.

So are we going the usual way? They feed her, she likes it and decides to move in "because she has to convince Ibuki to go home" But she's in for the alcohol...

Now I liked the ending. Once I settled for what it was. I knew it was coming too. Well, I knew it was coming in some way or form. But I won't lie that I am a tiny bit disappointed. While the bittersweet ending was in the cards, more and more obvious, I hoped for at least some "family" life after the promise rings are shared and after that, and I think most importantly, some more wholesome "living" end for Heath. This story always just felt like it was set up to create a place for Heath. It felt like Lilly was aware of the short life span of herself and wanted to give something lasting to Heath. It just felt like the ending could have a bit more meaning, is all I'm trying to say. Even this prospect of Heath traveling just to "tell" about her adventures to Lilly makes it feel more bitter than sweet. It's like the moral is to just wait till you die once someone you loved died before you.

Oh well, I enjoyed the story and I accept this ending. It's a good ending for this story. I just wish it had a moral to go with it.

First of all, poor Miku... But she was sacrificed for Yuri so all is good. Or just left behind in a bookstore all by herself. Same thing really.

Also, this extra chapter was what I was hoping for all this time. Maybe not to this extreme, concentrated level. The dance in the last one was nice too of course, but at least here there was some ongoing "plot" between the two main characters. Even if it was avoiding meeting each other eye to eye. They were interacting, it had a cute conclusion and it didn't break the formula of wanting to save/preserve yuri.

Soo... Just to make it clear for little dumb me. What everyone thought would happen, happened, and Heath was left alone cause hoomans age a lot quicker... Or well, die at a younger age. I get that part. But at the end there, did she die at Lilly's grave?

All this juicy info we got from the CN event... New solid arknight ship. Well, people already sort of shipped those two... But now we have justification for doing so! Or something... They're great is what I'm trying to say.
