Serval is still a kitty at heart.

The hearts always explode around her.

I think everyone's not giving Tifa credit here. She is clearly playing dumb to tease Aerith.

Wings and tails are all the same. They show the owner's true feelings without them noticing.

Ah how relatable! Sometimes you just wake up in the morning and want a baby or two, amirite?

They are pure. Pure lust.

There probably has to be a toy or something, cuz anatomy says they aren't touching down there lol

Ganbare Shamiko! Become a demon that can be mouth fed without getting embarassed!

See, this alone is why Fem Byleth design is better than Male Byleth.

Web-benders?

A book where Honoka Hugs Everyone

Honoka doesn't hug Rin

So that was a lie

False advertisement at it's finest. 1/5 stars!

I think I'm finally starting to realize that Kase's whole "could you please not wear that" schpeal is more for her sake than any jealousy over the boys seeing her.

Someone gets it.

Her asides WEREN'T her actual thoughts, but what she says when awkwardly explaining her presence to an acquaintance is?

(also holy damn that is a seriously screwed-up way to deal with your own sexual desires, even if you're right)

Sorry I have no idea what you are getting at. Awkwardly? She just without any trouble said she came to see the fireworks. It wasn't portrayed as an excuse and she was not nervous about it or showed any other signs of just making things up. She was perfectly happy with everything until she got overly conscious of Yamada's sexiness.

Really now? How many times in a yuri manga does one partner get embarrassed at how the other dresses and says that's not allowed or something else cute in that regard. It's a very obvious show of embarrassment and is typically portrayed in a comedic light. You seem to perceive it differently because of the previous trust issues brought up in the manga, but they aren't related.

You are blatantly wrong.

Oh, give me a thousand breaks; she came because of Yamada and we all know it.

I mean... yeah. She came to see the fireworks with Yamada. That was not the thing you were wrong about.
You assume she came to protect Yamada, even though there is not a single hint for this in the entire chapter. She only makes a remark at the end that she was worried about Yamada in a Yukata, but she doesn't give it as a reason for coming here. She knew that Yamada was out with Miwachi and she usually doesn't beat around the bush with this stuff.

I would even make a case that the entire last 2 pages weren't actually Kase's honest thoughts. I think she was just embarassed about her own sexual desires going overboard when Yamada dresses this way and used skeevy guys as an excuse to reduce the danger of herself being so conscious of it next time.

God, I honestly cannot understand anyone not finding it the creepiest thing in the world that Kase came because Yamada was wearing a yukata and therefore had to be protected, and not because she just wanted to see her girlfriend for a nice night. In any other story, that'd be an ominous sign of darkness to come. Here, it's about, "If a gross old man hits on Yamada at a festival in Tokyo, it'll risk chipping away at her sweet innocent purity (and it's Kase's job to do that)."

You are blatantly wrong.

If you are on this site long enough I can't really believe that the whole "top & bottom" talk can somehow pass you by. People seem incredibly obsessed with these power dynamics in fact.

I'm curious to see if we'll ever get any more insight into Yamada's family, assuming she has one. (Maybe she was just referring to the rules at the hydroponic facility where she was decanted.)

Her mother/father talked to her in this chapter.

I somehow believe that will be the full extent of screentime the parents will ever have.

And I may have heard something more preposterous than "it's written as a het relationship," but I cannot recall where at the moment.

This perhaps? Can't think of anything more ridiculous.

Oh yeah... that was a thing. It's downright impressive.

Because a song is a song.

Tsk. And next you gonna say that parfait is some kind of dessert.

Let's not go crazy here. Parfaits are a lifestyle!

Dafuq? Is there any Japanese person on these forums? I need to ask them are they OK there?

The very idea that a 50-ish days long summer break is considered barely average, let alone longer than average, is preposterous to me! Here in Montenegro, they last at least 75-ish days.

I'd say you just have been spoiled.

https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/yamada_to_kase_san_ch12#2

Hold on... You consider a 50-ish days long summer break a LONG summer break? WTF is going on in Japan?!

Summer breaks typically last from around 4-8 weeks depending on where you are from.
With a six weeks average, 50 is 8 days above average. So yeah, pretty long.

So sweet. Kase never wastes an opportunity to make a sudden appearance wherever Yamada will be.
She really is frustrated though, considering she can't suppress her horny glances even when her gf is in pain.

Except we weren't talking about emotional abuse but your statement about promiscuity being inherently bad for your health.

No. That has nothing to do with the thing you quoted. That is off-topic.
We were talking about Miyuki.

Sleeping around always ends badly. Always. It's just a statistical inevitability.

Either show me stats or admit, it's just your biased opinion.

It was hyperbole. Statistically speaking the more random people you sleep with the higher the probability is (and it's not just about health, stop adding modifiers). It's simple math. I won't go out of my way to get you studies on this crap after all the nonsense that was thrown at me already.
Why exactly are you tryng so hard to restart this convo? I won't be responding to any more of it in this thread and that's final.

EDIT: I have a feeling a lot of people don't really understand what the terms "morals", "condemning" and "choice" really mean in this context. All of this seems to be based mostly on communication issues rather than anything else.

If the general opinion of emotional and psychological abuse is a stretch to you sure. You are just gonna pretend that your opinion is right without any evidence and accuse me of not giving evidence as usual though.

It's funny coming from you after you stated something as fact, without giving evidence to support it. If it's a fact, then surly you could simply link to study or whatever proving it. The fact you specifically replied to random asking about it, to just say you're not going to since you're done, after already saying you're done, instead, you know, just linking the damn study, really gives the impression you pretty much don't have any proof for it and it's just your opinion. Doubly so that you even get angry about being accused of saying something without proof as usual, implying you never give source to your "facts". Is it possible, that they're simply... your opinions, which you treat as facts, but can't actually back up with anything? I expected more from you.

What? I never claimed that I had any studies on emotional abuse ready to throw at his face. I am saying that he always says his opinion is right and then asks the other party to provide evidence for something. He has never once actually backed any of his claims up. He always just says the equivalent of "No you are wrong because I say so" in a smarmy way.
In this particular context I just said that generally the opinion is that manipulating someone and knowingly playing with their feelings is emotional abuse. Miyuki does this intentionally, as we can clearly see in the last few chapters. She is aware that Asuka thought she was serious about the relationship, but Miyuki still played around with other people and got hickeys. She went into this thing just to play with an emotionally vulnerable younger girl. Sexual acts under false pretenses with a girl too young to be able to be sexually independant yet.

So tell me, is that not abuse? Are you saying she was not aware?

You all kinda lost me but i feel like usual it's getting to a bash show on BD.

Nah, I said I would stop talking about the off-topic stuff and they weren't happy about it. It's damned if you do and damned if you dont around here lol

To be fair, i feel like your analysis is a bit wanky but that's just my opinion.

As does everyone else, but let's not harp on it. We already established that ages ago.
At least we all agree that this isn't subtext.

LIker I said, I'm done with this topic. This isn't the right thread for it.

Nice backtracking but okay.

I wonder why you never got banned for your smarmy detestable attitude. How am I backtracking for having the common sense not to let this escalate? If you are bored enough we can take this to a spam thread.

The Miyuki thing however I can talk about.

...the one where you stretch the meaning of "emotional abuse" until it screams?

If the general opinion of emotional and psychological abuse is a stretch to you sure. You are just gonna pretend that your opinion is right without any evidence and accuse me of not giving evidence as usual though.

Weird how suddenly context doesn't matter when it comes to your shitty equivalencies. It's very much a comparison you were making to the subject at hand and I don't buy that you didn't mean it that way.

That is what happens if you ignore the paragraph below that. Buy what you want, I am not gonna convince someone who already decided nothing I will say is what I mean lol

Yet you came back to it to respond. Weird how "I'm done with this" to you people always seems to mean "shut up, I win even though I was losing!" and never leads to you actually walking away from your insulting nonsense.

Uh no... you are the only one who cares about winning. All this projecting is really disturbing. You are mixing other arguments you had with the current situation.
I just don't want to get banned for having this pointless discussion. Alright, if literally everything, even just trying to explain the situation is somehow twisted into a negative by you, I'll just not respond to you anymore. What a piece of work you are.

So done that you came back to insult me and play victim after vomiting prudish bullshit. "Misguided" again with the bullshit about life choices coming from being immature. This kind of line is exactly that tired old "it's a phase" thinking that just doesn't fly.

Again proving that you don't get what I'm saying and just making assumptions with your biased view. The misguided part is not about promiscuity, it's about what my argument is or why I don't think continuing this has any merit.
