I came across this one recently. https://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=149278 Sayonara Rose Garden. It's not posted on Dynasty, but you can find it on other sites. I won't link to them, but a quick google search will take you there.

It's a historical type, shoujo ai, story. Very well written, great art. Highly recommended.

Fuck Youko, and not in a good way.

I don't care how cutesy the story tries to dress this up. Youko is the worst kind of bitch. Stringing along two(at least that we know of) people at the same time is just straight scummy. Of course based on how this story is going, she'll get a completely undeserved happy ending with Ayu.

Shuninta is kind of hit or miss. Hopefully this one turns out okay.

Boy am I glad that I wasted all that time reading this series. /s

Seriously, fuck this shit. Whoever mentioned earlier that this should be tagged as "bad end" I completely agree. Or "bait and switch". Fuck you author.

Well, that escalated quickly.

Don't much care for this trope either. I get yuri is all about the ladies, but I hate it when manga make guys look like total assholes for no reason other than what seems to be sour feminist grapes. Yes, there are some really shitty dudes out there, just like there's some really messed up women. However, the majority of us guys are decent human beings who don't act like this, and would never treat other people that way, regardless of gender.

Meh. It was okay, but it's lacking in substance. The NSFW tag, while necessary, is kind of misleading as well.

Ok, this is just dumb now. Why even bother with a story at this point? It's so convoluted and contradictory that it's not even necessary. Just put everyone together in a room and have them fuck each other's brains out and give up on whatever "story" this was supposed to be about.

So looks like Shion isn't really the predator that many of you accused her of in previous chapters, eh?

This is why you wait for the story to play out before you jump to conclusions.

Omg, this mom is so damn funny. Can't wait for the oyakodon fantasy chapters.

Great. Time for the "dad" arc. A.k.a. the overbearing, abusive, absentee parent who thinks they can tell their kid to do whatever they want.

God I hate this particular trope. Give me a love triangle, or a long lost childhood friend. Anything but the homophobic, thinks he knows everything, asshole dad.

This won't end well. For whom, I don't know yet, but it won't xD

My thoughts exactly. Someone is going to end up with a knife in their chest. It's just the way these things go.

That's a pretty fucked up pair of sisters.

Nanase deserves some more love than he's getting from some of the comments. Dude was super chill and supportive of someone he clearly liked while finding out she was attracted to someone of not only the same sex, but a family member as well. In the real world, most guys would not handle a situation in such a classy and mature manner.

Bah, fuck Mei. Running away like a little bitch and leaving a "Dear John" letter in the process? I honestly hope she gets married and has a miserable life, wanting and pining away at her boring, unfulfilling life. She truly deserves to have an unhappy ending.
I doubt it will happen, but I'd much rather ship Team Yuzu and Harumin at this point. Yuzu deserves much better than that selfish, spineless, pathetic, coward that is Mei.

Is this normalizing paedophilia though? I don't know, I'm so lost right now. I'm not trying to cause flame, I just really don't know how to deal with this story ab loli... Please delete this if it causes any trouble.

I would have no problem if it did. At least as "normal" as S&M and all the other fetishes are.

Except in "normal" S&M, fetishes, etc., the parties are consenting adults, who can decide what they want to do in their own privacy. Pedophilia is a mental disease and has serious dangers.

That being said, this is fictional creation, and should be taken as such.

When will Mei stop suffering?? She doesn't deserve any of this...

I disagree. She could say no to her grandfather. She could politely explain the situation to Udagawa. But she doesn't. She might be suffering, but it's self-inflicted. As the saying goes, you can't always have you cake and eat it too. She needs to decide if she wants to please everyone else around her, or if she wants to be truly happy, Either way, someone will end up disappointed or hurt. That's a fact of life.

I was okay with most of it, except the eating food from each other's mouths. That's just nasty.

Anyone else get the feeling that this story won't end with the "happy ending" that most people will want? Something tells me that at the end of it all, Yuu will reject Touko.

On the one hand, at least this chapter looks like Saboruta gave a shit about the art.

On the other, there was next to zero progress in the story.

Maybe by this time next year we'll have met Mei's fiance?

The guy himself he probly knows fully what's going on and simply dosent care there are people like that everywhere and applying your own feelings to any character fictional or real is pointless.

Spoken like someone who has no clue about how painful it can be. Unfortunately, I was the husband in this story, in real life. If you've never been in this situation, then don't tell people that their feelings are pointless, especially when it comes to real situations.

I will take a different route. The ending you know?... bubble gives off a lot of possibilities.

  1. the husband may not be clueless. He knows what is Seri-chan to Ryouko. Thus, he was intrigued and very curious. His business trips may also entail that he is meeting a same-sex lover as well.
  2. Ryouko plan to move back and bought a house hoping to be with Seri-chan. So, the park meeting was intentional not coincidental. Confirming that Seri-chan felt the same, she resolved to transfer.
  3. It could be that Ryouko entered to an agreement with her husband(already in a same-sex relationship) to lift the stress and interrogation of parents(esp. mother) about settling down and having children with this kind of arrangement and told about Seri-chan.
  4. Part of the agreement is to live away from parents to avoid interrogation from both families. Remember Ryouko's family moved out also because of the father's job. It could be that Ryouko live in the same neighborhood as husband's.

These are all possibilities inspired by real life journey of a Chinese woman who is in a same-sex relationship. She helped young Chinese generations because of non-acceptance of same-sex relationships. The article was part of a documentation on LGBTQ.

How you can make that many assumptions over a single page of a manga is beyond me. How you were able to come to any of those conclusions based on the very limited story is also remarkable.

Feel sorry for the husband in this case. Cheating is bullshit. Everyone gets a happy ending, except for the guy who is providing for everyone else. What a garbage story.
