Risa is a self-centered woman, who continues to keep Yuka around her tail. Not because she loves Yuka, but because she constantly wants someone she know will be there to love her. Because she likes to play around, with people that aren't necessarily attached to her, she still needs someone else there to hold her pride. Risa liked that Yuka felt jealous, because it told her one thing, it's that Yuka has completely fall for her trap of narcissism. It's been clear since day one that Risa never wanted to, and never liked to commit to relationships(this is an information critical for if the thought of her being a polyamorous person occurs*), it's the fact that she isn't attached to anyone; but instead prefers that one person is at least attached to her, while she plays with many other people. In short Risa is a narcissistic player, who has the right victim in her hands. Risa gets off on the fact that, even though she is a horrible person for liking to sleep around a lot, at the end of the day she still has at least one person who is emotionally attached to her where she can just go to, to cope—until she gets bored, and a new cycle repeats.

My mind goes through a lot when I read this.
My mind goes "isn't that what usually happens for the normal man x woman love? If I were to replace Risa as a man, then the whole love affair makes sense!
And then it goes
" What if Yuka is depicted as the housewife, or the married woman? "
But then, why is that this way of living is extremely normal and considered normal if we applied to male x female setting but it's extremely uncommon and uncomfortable when we place it a female x female setting?

But we all agree to an extent that, no matter if your pairing is male x female or female x female, if one is poly, and the other is devoted, then it makes the whole relationship terrible/disgusting.

Normally, we'll go with "just break up,you two. You know that one person enjoys a poly relationship will and would never be able to be faithful, why would you the devoted ones have to keep this relationship and make yourself suffer?"

Then again, it's a very complicated situation when it involves marriage. The thing about poly female x devoted female is that one could break free if the devoted one decided to leave. But what about the normal love? The ones who involve in marriage?
I have a feeling that once the relationship is bound in marriage, a lot of other things come up and it's difficult to get off the contract with the thought of "just signing the papers"..

Now this is that fucked up shit that I love. Theres a lot of yuri abuse lately which is a nice change from the ‘yuri is the purest form of love’ puritan attitude.

Oww.. I have to agree on this.
The genre Yuri which depicts "pure love" between two girls have been escalated in these years.
In before, it was just girls love and the setting is pretty much in high school.
Nowadays, the love is depicted in different settings and how they have evolved into more of a complex love .

Such a progression has made in depiction of girl's love (⁠ ⁠╹⁠▽⁠╹⁠ ⁠)

I think I'm the only person who finds the way Matsuno san thought of "love" = "to become the person" a little disturbing.
Or maybe I don't understand love.
Does love really mean "you want to become the same as the person"?

I thought love not just give you hot flashes , escalating heart beat and butterflies in the stomach,but also to learn how to actually love and care people on your surroundings ( that's when you not only just fixated your eyes on one but also you learn to start appreciating people surrounded you with care and empathy?)
And you start to express your love by taking care of someone.

That's what I thought about love is .

Maybe I'm wrong..hmm..

I think more of "wanting to become the person " as admiration, someone to look up for and learn their traits to become a part of me.

But love is.. someone I want to be with, accepting who the person is, so that one could take care of each other. Even if we resembles none of how we look like, or different attitudes, personality clashes.. (my favourite example pair is Nishi Uko sensei's pairings in Collectors)

I think I can still differentiate them like they fit into some part of categories..

Yuni sensei's work is really good.
I like how Yuni sensei is exploring infidelity love adults pair.
That's very refreshing to read.
Usually the pairings for yuri adults that I've read so far are either OL, teachers.
But two married woman? Hurr..(⁠ ⁠╹⁠▽⁠╹⁠ ⁠) (I know Amano sensei has once covered this topic in Sweet Guilty Love Bites but still a whole content of married women pairings?

Interesting

Kaede sending the same picture to both Ai and her husband is very strange. I have no idea what she's trying to accomplish here.

That's the part that makes me question her motives the most. If she's genuinely trying to get away from an unhappy/bad/dangerous marriage, then why would she symbolically put her husband and lover on the same level by sending them both the photo? Has she sent him all the same photos as she sent Ai? Is she playing a game to see how they both react, or is this a cry for help that even she doesn't understand?

I interpret it as 'playing a game to see how they both react.'
Simply means, she probably wants to know, who out of the two are the one who cares about her existence.
But I wouldn't see it as 'playing'.
I would see it as a cry for help, probably, to choose who she'll be with out of the two for her next future to begin with.
But along the way towards her journey,she may also have met a fated person who happens to made her heart flutter.
She may also not.
As the latest chapter implied that she has thoughts of suicide.
But it could also be that, she was playing words out of romance.
Like a poet, to flirt the potential romantic partner.

The way her husband responds may suggest that he's boring on the inside and unable to communicate as he seems to have thought of wife's tantrum as a pattern to seek his attention, or that simply she may not find him interesting to live with.

Kaede san may have pursued Ai san out of her frustration towards her marriage with her husband as she may not able to communicate well, or after having fights with her husband, as suggested that she's the dominant of the relationship, and that she'll only phone her out of whim to go out (like an on and off thing) rather than a continued affair.

And Akiyama sensei's writing is beautiful.
So does the translated.

" If you die, Ai san, I'll follow after you..when I first met you, Ai san, I chose to make my own decision.n I won't let go of this hand... And if you don't want me to die, then please don't die either."

This manga lets out different perspectives that I've never thought of, if same situation happened in real life scenario, and that I start contemplating just like Ussui san, what love is all about and why do people need it (though didn't write the points down of why people need them)
Then again, whenever I read about Yuri, my focus was onto feelings and the projection of two female MC; Ussui's perspective had enlighten me: ah, so that's what a straight lady would think of and how a normal romance usually started between them.

And also, Saeko's clinginess to Miwa san just made me realize that: maybe we , part of being human,we can and feel if someone loves another person after all.
And also a realization of " ah so, that's why Saeko is so clingy to Miwa san. Ah, so that's how lovers communicate or how their body language is.

I think, I'm liking authors' design of a world to this manga. "The vocalist gets dumped by girlfriend? No worries, I'll add some ladies to cheer you up after your activities."

Or that
" Hey, Saeko san and Miwa san are dating and in the same club? Oh, good luck with your relationship (⁠｡⁠･⁠ω⁠･⁠｡⁠)⁠ﾉ⁠♡"

Even though the guys in band have interest on Miwa san. Oh , the guys were like chill and supportive.

That's lovely.

And about Kan, they are right though.
"Villains aren't born, they are made"

Maybe that's why he's filled with hatred.
I understand now.
Every coin has two faces .

The drama is really nice.
The story too. I like how they starts to build up , and resolves it the way a couple would.
Though it feels a little frustrated on the inside that Saeko san still wouldn't say what she has to Miwa san.

--and at the end of the chapter, senpai came looking for Wakatsuki san because of her terrible cooking skill that she wanted to teach her until she became a good cook.
Senpai doesn't want to have her cooking club réputation tarnished by Wakatsuki san.

To fall in love with the same person twice, without recognizing.. that's pretty romantic, isn't it?
Asami could have done it in a more harsher way, by disappearing without a trace, and without informing her partner. She chose to say it anyway.
I have a feeling that,maybe Asami san secretly wanted to be found out by her partner.
Glad to know that they are back together again.

That's sweet
Glad her kouhai's love gets reciprocated
Happy ending ya

The couple is so sweet
They say they are mismatch but they end up having the same thing on mind and gift each other the same gift
That's really nice
ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ

I don't quite understand what happened in the middle of the act, that the maid said that it's best for Shizuku.
Did she fake death?
It's a short happy ending it seems..

(⁠・⁠o⁠・⁠) so Diana san is having a new interest in the future..
Lapis sama sounds like she's heading for her old route to become the villainess.
As for Natori san, her presence has indeed change the story, however not the way she intended, it seems.

This is a realistic manga about how an abusive partner did to reunite with the girl in trauma again.
And people who don't understand the girl will surely blame it on the girl for deciding to reunite back with her abusive partner.
But the realistic part is that, she can't and couldn't, because the abusive partner will surely come back for her again.
Then the pattern is repeated over and over again.
This is so sad and pathetic.

This story is really sad.
I have a feeling that it's going to be a tragedy..

Thank you so much for introducing thesis at the end of the credit page. Much appreciated to read more about the discourse of sexuality based on the Japan society

I came here to re-read the scans again because of the last credit page posted on Yuni's work.
About two OL who falls for each other but only say it out loud in their minds.. and the story is very short indeed.

Uh.. hey I’ve been having neck pain too, where’s my goddess

+1.. I need a good massage from goddess of bedding..(⁠˘⁠･⁠_⁠･⁠˘⁠)

The Omega girl thought she has found the one, only to realize that it was her sister that was supposed to be her destined soulmate?
Ah.. that's..

Teacher x waited until graduation to confess student approved!
Please let it be a full series ♪⁠┌⁠|⁠∵⁠|⁠┘⁠♪└⁠|⁠∵⁠|⁠┐ ⁠♪(⁠ ⁠/⁠^⁠ω⁠^⁠)⁠/⁠♪⁠♪♪⁠ ⁠\⁠(⁠^⁠ω⁠^⁠\⁠ ⁠)

Hah..
The minds of young maiden is more difficult than I think it is.

Finally, she starts acting it out in pg 16.

How long did her friend stand there offering the bottle while she starts playing out all the possible scenes in her mind and reminiscence of their past?

Oh.
NMI sensei is the winner of the Jade award.
I have to say, this manga is very impressive and very funny indeed.
NMI sensei's introduction is funny too.
Imagine herself the reason to born as a human just for the sake to read Yuru Yuri ( ^ิ艸^ิﾟ)

This short needs a series of its own

Am I the only one who finds Aoki Mitsue sensei's drawing style resembles Morishima sensei?

Itsuwa san seems to be able to differentiate between love and friends.
So when she was having a dream of Mikami going to kiss her back then in high school, she would still push her away.

Therefore, I don't think she felt that the grape is sour because she couldn't have Mikami as her girl friend (at first, yes, but after the dream, she changed her mind)

Haven't seen this type of manga going on.
Glad it came back.
Have a good chuckle.
This is good, especially the vampire is the decent here, and human being..human.

Needs more of these chapters, very fun to read.

WTFn' TWIST is this?... I like it.

It's like a Reversal, except it's a half-twist? They don't quite reverse positions, more like, end up on the same level of toxicity.

Default Romance mode: Girl A is nice, girl B is nice, they love each other.
Regular Drama mode: Girl A is nice, girl B is messed up, "I can fix her".
Toxic Reversal mode: Girl A is nice, girl B is messed up, except psych! Girl A turns out even crazier.
Kodama Naoko mode: Girl A is messed up, girl B is messed up, end up in a surprisingly functional relationship.
Nobody But You mode: Girl A is messed up, girl B is messed up, except psych! They are both devoted girlfriends with compatible fetishes.

Within this model, this is effectively a toxicity Reversal chaining regular Drama into Kodama Naoko territory of toxic. A strong combo, if you can pull it off.

Wow.
Thank you for being so observant of the trope and write them down here as references.

Ah no, dear sensei,
I was still waiting eagerly the paintings that Amami san has drawn her, since she made a big deal having her sister to buy it back and gift it to her...
