Afaik, it's not Isekai - no one came from a different world.

Holy shit, started back in 2014, I think I read some of that way back when, when I went through my Frozen phase. Now kinda iffy on the whole Elsanna thing in general since I don't like incest, even when it's non-incest AUs. Wild.

I'm definitely not entirely comfortable with this chapter, but I'll stick around for a while, hopefully it gets better

I'll be blunt, the low point for this kinda stuff is probably chapter 5 and then it gets less overtly aggressive from that point on. I'm thinking of releasing double chapters to blunt the impact slightly, if possible.

I don't think it's gonna help avoid the complains but I'll stick with it until the end! if anything, just use a tag like dubious consent or a warning page at the start, and if they read it anyway and get mad, that's on them.

Of course, I get it, it's more beautiful when everything works out mutually, but if it isn't the case and you're fully aware you just have to make a choice.

God I wish Dynasty used consent tags more consistently I'm real tired of being blindsided with rape scenes.

If there is a rape scene, it's generally tag as such you know. Here it's just that MC is guillable and the two neighboors are playing on it. They're just more aggresive (and lesbians) version of Hino-san.

Usually only if it's violent rape rather than that Japanese trope where the character is visibly distressed and keeps saying no but I'm expected to interpret that as her being coy.

Consent is sexy I wish they didn't always have people say 'no' over and over ugh.

I wonder if that's an 'actual japanese culture is this way in regards to being in sexually charged situations' thing or just a 'japanese media is this way' thing (probably both)

I suspect it's an artistic exaggeration of the existing societal expectation that women be extremely demure about wanting sex. There's a pretty massive genre of porn for the fetish of 'innocent/pure' women being corrupted into enjoying sex.

tbf, it's hot. Also to be fair, it's only hot if the innocent girl want to be corrupted, and is actively into her corruption. That's some A+ shit.

Consent is sexy, and this kind of stuff is only really good if there's a safeword involved and everyone fully understands and communicates what they're comfortable with. Which is something that's always left behind the scenes even though it's probably the most important step. And then people think it's normal and think people saying "no" is just for fun when it's not.

Oh I mean, yeah if we're talking CNC, what with 'corruption' that's not even necessarily CNC, I just meant girls who are presumed as innocent who actually are just kinda horny, and really want another girl in bed. But yeah for CNC safewords are obviously essential, as are checking in, and aftercare, and a bunch of other stuff that isn't handled. Proper BDSM never shows up in manga tho so that's not surprising, even if it is disappointing.

Whoa wait I think I remember reading this on manga rock before but why does the plot feel different?? Wasn’t it the dad who went on a business trip right?? Am I perhaps talking about a different yuri manga?

This is a serialization and redo of a previous manga that only had 2 chapters - presumably it will have more than 2 chapters.

Really good cuddling scenes. Stuff where there's just the sweetest cuddles. Sighs and nuzzling and intertwined limbs and falling asleep in eachother's arms. This probably won't help with me feeling lonely right now but still.

I've liked a lot of the stuff by Amano Shuninta that I've read, but this is mystifying. I feel like it was allegorical or symbolic in some way, but if that's the case I can't figure out what the symbolism is at all. Something to do with the expectations around femininity? Maybe? It basically just sort of stops without any obvious conclusion or resolution. I feel like this whole manga was either something which would make complete sense if I knew what the allegory was about (but it's kind of a flaw in the work if it's that hard to figure it out), or else it was basically the mangaka spinning her wheels for nine chapters.

Something about living life for yourself, I'd guess, and being stuck in the past. Pretty depressing overall, and not that great.

Why did I click on this again I really need to stop reading this I just derive no enjoyment whatsoever from it.

I'm not even reading it anymore I just read the comments to see how much of a disaster it's currently being.

Apparently her old high school now worships her as a goddess of yuri and one girl in there thinks she's been possessed by her and is pretending to be her for popularity. Weird AF basically.

Bots need to be smarter. They need to cater to the audience's taste. For example, if they said, "Click on this link for a free signed box set of Bloom Into You," I would click on it within a heartbeat.

Shit same actually.

Anyway BV I misread your comment as Nezchan being undisputedly your favorite, rather than no longer undisputably your favorite. OrangePekoe is my favorite too :)

What'd she do?

Technically, any difference in ages is an age gap. But some are simply not meaningful enough.

Yes that's why I said "enough of a gap for one", since it's more than 1/4 of the life of the landlady. That's pretty significant.

btw why no age gap tag? I feel like 19/24 is enough of a gap for one

fair enough lmao

At least she has some ethics I guess. Also I get that it's the point and whole idea of the series, and we've had some progress, I just really want a confession already between our 2 resident dumbasses.

Is that forum policy? Mock bots instead of banning them?

Where did you get sex from the last page?

The "Free Agent" strip is implying they have a deal that it will be Otome's turn to fondle Mari's breasts due to the baseball result (in Japanese the title was "FA" - their cup sizes - and Mari is referring to the trope of breasts growing bigger through fondling), then in the next strip Otome has changed into pyjamas and is tidying up the clothes Mari had been wearing while Mari is already in bed.

Huh, oh yeah, between 63 and 64, I completely missed that, that's very well-spotted. They totally got it on, and Otome was on top.

Looking back at it it kinda reminded me of a shittier Mimi Mix.

If you skipped over the chapter, you should also consider not commenting on it.

Oh no, Karen. Will you ask to see their manager and get them fired from the forums if they do? Feel free to fuck right off.

Naw I'm also tired of their shit too, if people don't read the chapter then just page into the comments to shit on it, they should consider shutting the fuck up instead. There's a ton of shit on this reader I don't like and would find gross I just don't fucking bother people about it. Not commenting is free.

Anyone remember a one-shot involving two stepsisters getting together with both of their moms also marrying each other? It started out with them meeting as kids, and then they get home and find out their moms are getting married, then time skips to them in high school.

Chapter 3 of Yurikon, a yuri marriage anthology. I don't actually know how to link things in forum posts, but it's on here, chapters 1 & 2 aren't on this site tho.

That was pretty cute. Glad they picked it back up! I like these two new characters, people complaining about progression don't get that the series has never had progression, introducing new side characters is the only thing they know how to do.

Very real, but that's not a fun read :(

How about yuri novels? I FAVOR THE VILLAINES has been translated by jingle translations and is currently the best novel i've read to date

Just checked the synopsis and the cover and I toooooootally want to read it! (but maybe I'll wait a bit to see if it gets a manga or anime)

It's alright, I read the whole thing in like 2 days a while back - the writing is a bit stilted and the translation sometimes lacks a little, and it's a bit cheesy, but overall a pretty good read. An update to it using the same concept as a manga would be spectacular but I doubt that's happening.

I assume this is all based on a pun or an expression in Japanese that failed to get translated - it's just too random otherwise.
