Really loved this one. Might have teared up a bit. And all the references to the childhood stuff, aww, it was so bittersweet about lost time but so hopeful, too.

Ah, that page when Reimu realizes what happens and blushes, then like surrenders and is like, just visit already, true romance.

Author aside, I've not once read anything with lesbian vampires that wasn't seriously flawed in some way

I feel like an uncultured memeslut because the only things with lesbian vampires I can recall right now are Carmilla. Adventure Time and Homosucc.

There were two yuri manga about vampires that started like 2 years ago and you can find them here............ Both were cancelled (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧

Sorry to go off topic for a sec but Seifuku no Vampiress Lord was cancelled??

I really liked it. So deep, like their stories tend to be for some reason.

I actually adored this one. The art style making them looking like actual college-age adults, but the whole fwb-while-secretly-in-love-with-each-other-and-afraid-to-admit-deeper-feelings angst? Looove that setup.

I don’t get the last page

I assume Kyouko got into the elevator and then went down on purpose without waiting for Yui.

I actually really loved this, the mood, the parallels, the build.

Awww, I thought that was super cute.

Hmm it is indeed a rare happening but childhood friends can win too!
Two examples:
- Kashimashi (yuri)
- DNA 2 ( straight but relevant to conversation)

Man, those two were really satisfying and I'm not even necessarily someone who wants the childhood friend to "win", necessarily (liking someone doesn't mean you deserve anything).

Ah, really loving this. The characters are hilarious and I actually love Yuu and Nana. So little drama in some ways, with Yuu immediately telling only Nana and everyone in the class already knowing they have the deepest friendship, and Nana being so emotionally savvy, but still, that jump from friendship to more is lovely.

Awww, that's so cuuuuute. It's not all bad, for the people with the sad vibes. Obviously it wasn't a great time in their youth, but they're not even 30. Surprise friends to more, awwww.

This was a lot more interesting and well-written than I expected. I mean, I had no actual expectations, but it was better than the average which are usually soulless smut, crack, or indecipherable.

I like that there establishing the setting and characters first, it makes anything that happens after feel so much more earned.

So into this dynamic.

joined Jan 8, 2016

The first part was so cute xD

It was! Really enjoy when their dynamics don't jump immediately to romance. Although I wouldn't have minded a bit more for this one.

So cute. Great idea and so well executed. It didn't just rest on having the fun premise but really sold the characterization and building mutual pining angst. And great art.

joined Jan 8, 2016

I really liked this. I think the cliched ending would have been silent pining, but it turned out there was such a strong depth of feeling on both sides. It developed a really strong friendship in a very short time, such that you could feel what it would cost them to risk ruining it.

Loved this far. Chill main girl who isn't a total loser (I like the bit about her actually being a great runner), I love Nana, and the comedy is hilarious and smart.

Aww, the gorilla moment was when I knew I'd like this. Such an absurd and random thing.

ARt is great af. Well, according to the lore the Hakurei family separated the human world from the "youkai" world aka Gensokyo. It's implied that Yukari had a great importance is this conjuncture since shes the one that control borders and was always close to the Hakurei family through generations. Maybe the author changed that up a little bit and put all the work on Yukari's shoulders, creating a new backstory for Reimu since she's obviously not the first Hakurei miko.

EDIT with some infos: "The barrier was first created by humans in Meiji 18 (CE 1885), and later reinforced by youkai. While the idea was at first highly controversial among youkai, and led to much infighting between them, it is now almost universally accepted. Yukari Yakumo is widely acknowledged as the architect of the barrier, and is said to have first motioned for it around 400 years before its actual creation, though Yuyuko Saigyouji has speculated that not even Yukari could create a barrier of this level by herself."

Thanks for the backstory, that does add something to it, knowing it's a twist of an existing story and not completely new.

I love this... The characters seem so vivid and the relationship just...works, balancing humor and romance and wistfulness and hope.

that blonde is amazing lmao

Lol, she'll be the one to get things done in that relationship forever. Moving in, getting married, she'll always be like, yes, we're doing this and the senpai'll be all stuttering and blushing but secretly happy.

I loved the afterword but I actually really like these two and their dynamic. I guess the senior's character is more typically seen in the younger one in the relationship, but it's not really a role reversal here of that common archetype, it's just how their personalities are. I'm glad Miman wrote these two chapters as happy, I'd like to see more of her stories like this.

Ah, that was great art and I love them being happy cute adults together.
