Awesome. Thanks translators!
I really love the art.

A lot of the characters do seem like jerks but I assumed it would turn out a lot of it was just tough love. I could be completely wrong on that of course.

I'm really bad with names anyway, so the difference between getting confused by names in Korean and getting confused by names in English is pretty neglible. But isn't it kind of a problem when a bunch of the characters look this similar? It's not like there's a sprawling list of characters, either, it shouldn't be this hard to make a modest cast visually distinctive. I'm just now realising that Seol-A's brother and her childhood friend are different people, and even knowing that, I'm struggling to remember which scenes were one or the other. I literally can't tell the difference between Hee-Jin and Seol-A, but at least they have totally different personalities and roles, so it's not hard to distinguish them through context. Enigmatic dark-haired guy with a close but non-romantic history with Seol-A #1 and enigmatic dark-haired guy with a close but non-romantic history with Seol-A #2? Help.

Yeah. This happens to me in a few stories, and I know a few authors were told by their Japanese readers they couldn't tell who was who sometimes. It doesn't bother me too much. I kinda blame myself for usually being too lazy to re-read chapters as that would help me.

This is a nice story. Long build up tho. That last conversation between bob-cut and her pal was fun.

Karin. Hands down one my favorite characters in anything ever. Doing yuri. Which I love. I don't like Sakura though. I'd put Karin with Akira from Rival Schools if I had the powa.

so it's not very representative of bdsm and it's resembling fifty shades of grey? I know very little about both these things. I try to be open-minded, not willing to write off that scene we spent most of last chapter on as impossible for a healthy relationship to spring from but yeah. The rest of this is just too wonky. Going to drop it. Office ladies tag made me think "not high school/jr high." Not against youth stories. Just wishing for more adults in these stories.

I fell like we see these personality types so much that it gets hard to think of them as people after a while I guess. And the whole "fangirl/boy" after your classmates thing has always struck me as weird. But I accept it as a culture difference and it's not essentially bad. Just odd to me. At least the part where the girls call to the idol in unison was silly funny.

and an ending I can't say I've see that much but already feel like I have seen a million times. Still. I'm still open to these kinds of stories. They can't help that this probably happened alot in the time this story was told. Or that the pressure must have been enormous.

Hey. Maybe their husbands both end up being gay, disinterested Asexual etc and the four conspire to make . . . arrangements. Happy ending. You're all welcome.

Is this called "yuri" because there are two female protags who get along well, or is it going to be actually yuri at some point with at least a scintilla of romance? Because right now the so-called yuri barely rises to subtextural levels.

Was starting to wonder this myself. There are a lot of good stories that seem to only be yuri subtext though. I'm at the point where I start to wonder if there will be more pronounced yuri between background characters. I'm really want to see this go full yuri with the main two though.

I don't like anything that has happened in the last two chapters. I wasn't all that happy with the love confession either to be honest. Seemed over done and it seems the rest of this story is only going to get worse. And with few exceptions, I hate love triangles.

So....what do you like about it, when the most significant events don't meet with your approval?

"Did," like about it you mean?
I liked it until around the love confession. When it seemed like it was just the story of two women who might enter a romantic relationship. That's the kind of story I prefer. I don't like "evil other woman/man" type elements. After the love confession we got that cheesy "chase me" sequence and I was even prepared to leave that alone since I thought it was basically over anyway.

I'm dropping it now. I don't like the current events. Seems like a non story. These "significant" events don't seem like real problems. This third wheel feels like she exists for a very uninteresting, played-out, over-done angle that I have pretty much never enjoyed reading about. This story is not interesting, enlightening or entertaining so I'm out. No offense to those who are enjoying it.

it must be love!
kidding aside. As it has been implied, if they really do fight to the "death" all the time there isn't too much reason to think there won't be . . . days like these. ^^;

That was great! Seems like a very plausible take on how this relationship could start down a more romantic path.

Pretty good. Nio is almost the only character I liked from the anime. Gave up on the manga after a few chapters.

Never got into this because I didn't care for the main paring at all. Still don't. It's not the worst but foeyay is just that off putting. Nothing against those who like them. The side pairings are great. More than worth it.

Don't think I ever did get around to commenting on this. It's great!
Oh. Everyone here already knows that . . .
carry on.
But seriously. This is one of my top favorites. So normal. So laid back. So funny. And hey look. Guys and even yaoi. Takes all kinds to make a world and all that.

Well. Still puzzled by some of the strips but I liked some of this. Maybe the author should "take responsibility" and make a strip based on them raising that kid.
I also found it strange that you can't play as the octo-whatevers. Maybe some day in dlc?

eh. I rarely see love triangles done well. Hell. I probably never have. Maybe it's just a "getting use to change" thing as you learn to share your friends and all that. Maybe?

Was expecting to not like this but it wasn't mindlessly cutesy plus open-ended. Guess now I have to go through all the trouble that is clicking fav. Karin's part actually cracked me up.

To those that have to express their disinterest here (for whatever reason), if it helps you understand, this is a reason why I, and perhaps others, like this manga, is because it seems to be executed like this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDpblJ44YG4

The monologues and over-the-top theatrics and execution are the entire character and charm of the manga. To say you'd rather not have the long walls of text is to not have the entire manga. Of course, it's fine not to like it or whatever, but that would be like me going to the Love/Death forum and whining that "it would be great without the fight scenes!"

Obviously, this kind of delivery wouldn't be great for most other yuri manga, but I think it's a unique enough perspective that having it (as it is so far) is worth the attention. :)

That video was . . . awesome! I gave up on this series after the first episode. This almost makesme wanna go back.

And I agree with much of what you said.
This is just silly. Which isn't enough for me most times. A lot of the humor in anime bores the crap out of me. Manga often fairs a little better, oddly enough, and while this wasn't lol funny it kept me mildly amused throughout.

I donno if the premise is good for a long series.

I know the pain of animes where the yuri is even less than subtext. Very irritating.

I do like to see more males in yuri. It seems to me one reason there isn't more is just because the cast of these stories is small but I'd like to see more. In various roles. Brothers. Fathers. Just diversity, you know?

I don't feel this male is a nefarious representation of the male yuri fan. Just seems like the author trying to be funny.
I certainly do not see him as a representation of me. I doubt my opinion of a good yuri even matches his all that much.

also
> how is this not yuri? That one girl is clearly into a girl. We can't even say her romance is over considering we don't know if the girls she is/was after is unavailable, though she did seem like a one time character.

Erm. Liked the art. Story was OK. I think some part of my brain dislikes anything nearing rape or attempted rape being depicted as "whateves." Not exactly saying this is. Another part of me probably likes to see realistic depictions of different aspects of how people fall in love even if it isn't in ways that are pretty.
Believable is usually what I'm looking for.

I liked the darker haired girl. Some of her images were really good. Especially when she's wondering why "girls are into her." She had a bit of a boyish look but still looked undoubtedly female.
Couldn't care much for the other gal. I came away thinking someone like that might exist. Not much else.

Vaguely remembering the previous chapters . . . that last one was pretty funny. The manager adapts quickly even if he isn't sure what he's dealing with. Heh. Just surround her with eye candy!

Nope. Not worth my time. Asami doesn't strike me as any healthier than anyone else in her life. Less love triangle than codependency triangle. The only satisfying conclusion I could see from this is complete independence from every relationship she has in the first chapter, and I don't think Monomo Moto is a strong enough story-teller to pull that off. I'll stick with Octave and After Hours.
