Hikari, get that plushie for Reiko this instant.
If you don't and Reiko ends up all plushie-less and sad, I'm not gonna forgive you.

Seducing her by appealing to her motherly side, I see, I see. Tanya is such a Casanova...

I'm wondering... was that a gay bar in the beginning? And when they say "our circle" do they mean the lesbian community?
(Or were they talking about work and I got it all wrong?)

The circle is the "entertainment circle" that you'll see a lot in CN novels and manhua. It's a genre all on its own based on the actor/idol/etc circle like how we have Hollywood.

Also it's cool to see this on here even though I've been putting off reading the original novel this is based on for the longest time LOL

Thanks to everyone who answered.
I guess I got the wrong idea, then. That kinda gives me a bittersweet feeling... as I was kind of excited thinking this could be a Chinese manhua where from the very start the main ladies were up-front, out-and-out lesbians who visited gay bars and talked about their community problems...
In Japanese and Korean yuri this sort of setting is not frequent but not uncommon either... but I've never before read a Chinese manhua with such a premise underlying the plot.

It's not exactly that, but... try this one:

There's a lot of characters who are out lesbians and it does show a bit of the inner side of the Chinese lesbian community.

lmao didn't expect everyone in the comments to be so mad after reading this

Author troll level confirmed OVER 9000

That said, I'm amused at how people bitch so much about this.

You know how, when a story is gaining momentum and going well and then it suddenly ends, everyone complains bitterly that the series got the editorial AXE?

This is the opposite. It looks like the author was getting ready to reach the conclusion in this chapter or the next but the editor asked her to keep on truckin' (because the manga is popular and selling well) so she rewrote the plot: she made up some excuse to cancel the Mai/Asumi date and send Mai on a vacation for a month, and thus put the conclusion in indefinite hiatus -- as now Mai won't be able to come between Asumi and her hookers for the next several weeks!

Honestly, I thought everyone would be jumping up in joy... I mean, if a series this good is continuing instead of ending, isn't that a reason to celebrate?

But lo and behold: the forum is full of comments bitching and whining about it.

Dynasty Forum: the place where a manga author just can't win no matter what.

I love the extreme attention paid to clothes, accesories, jewelry, etc. The level of detail is amazing. It gives the art a solidity rarely found in normal comics, and the characters an astounding depth of visual realism.

You can tell the authoress loves drawing this stuff, hehe.

Yamada always could sprout little green leaves from her head, but now she can sprout them from her fingers and from her tongue.

Her awesomeness is evolving. Be afraid. Soon she'll be all-powerful.

I demand a second hug for the sister. This injustice can not stand.

Amen to that. Hug your sister again, you useless oneechan!

Oneshot-that-should-be-a-series strikes again!

The series actually ended when this oneshot starts. It was a series where an oblivious idiotic guy was being chased by three girls who were totally in love with him: a sporty girl, a childhood friend girl, and a heroine-type girl. In the end he chose the heroine and the series ended (and the oneshot began).

"All-seeing Eye"
So Akari's oneechan only opens her eyes wide to look at her imouto?

But... why should this make Kyouko go all cringy? I'm not getting the joke here.

Yaaaaaay Sei is getting Aya in the end!
I was worried that poor sweet darling Sei was going to meet a bad end, but thanks goodness that's not the case. After all she went through (the whole mess with Yoru and everything) she deserved the best possible end! And lo and behold, she gets Aya, the best girl in the manga, to take care of her and heal her heart with the power of tender caring love.

Best endgame next chapter, hehe.

The joke's on me.
I read all 50+ pages of this thing, and only then I returned to the title page to check the tags and confirmed that there isn't a Yuri tag.

I can't believe some people, in the thread next door, call Lin Xiao Lu useless and a walking disaster.

Look at Akebi.

This is what being disastrously useless means.

Excellent start. I doubt anything she may imagine happened yet, though, seeing how they're still in their underwear.

You yuri pigs! :D

Instant meme.

Sensei's inner discourse is especially amusing. The panel you posted comes with the comment: "I'm sure she must be a wonderful person... LIKE THIS!!!"

Haha, if that's her definition of wonderful, sensei must have another secret: she's a bit M on the side.

To me, ABO stuff reads like 'What if humans did some stuff that some furries did, with regards to animalistic/feral tendencies and a fixation on breeding, but while still in human skin?'

Exactly--give these characters fuzzy ears and a tail and I'm guessing the reader hostility drops off considerably.

Of course, Takemiya Jin's previous characters often acted like they already had fuzzy ears and a tail (and feral libidos) anyway.

In the middle of a flood of comments to say "I like ABO" or "I hate ABO" it's refreshing to find a consequent message that actually provides some food for thought. Well done!

This page is just too funny.

It takes a special type of airhead to deliver a simple word of thanks in such a way that would make anyone expect a love confession. Poor Sato-chan was so disappointed...

Koiko respects Nika too much, so she doesn't want to force her to do anything Nika might regret.
I like how Koiko has gone from pervert to a more "wholesome" character.

It's not like she has really changed, you know. Koiko always was a reliable sempai and a trustworthy member of the Student Council, someone who takes her responsibilities very seriously. If a kouhai needs to talk, she listens. If a kouhai is in trouble, she helps. If a kouhai is doing something improper and unacceptable, she gives her good advice. It's only when her crush on prez overcomes her good sense that she turns into the eponymous pervert of the manga.

It's because of her many virtues and good points that Nika-chan fell in love with her. It's because of her uncontrollable fetishism around prez that Nika-chan wants to hit her on the head with a big stick. It's simple, really.
