Erika is a really interesting, layered character to me. She does good things for selfish reasons, she supports both Koto and Aya and encouraging them to communicate properly but does so bc she's under the assumption that their relationship is doomed either way.

Her motivation may not be very sympathetic, but her feelings are her own and she's still being a good friend despite them. Really neat, all these characters have some good depth to them

aaahaha so the sister is weird too after all, just in a way nobody expected xD Amazing xD

Of course, a NTR fetish. I mean, at this point, why not ?

... Huh, if Mizuki starts dating Yanagi, would Momo become interested in her ?

Y'know what, that sounds like a great solution!

between these two and hinoka/tsukushi from rejected in a dream im not sure whos the bigger idiot couple lol

different flavors, equally delicious xD

guess what, it's "emotional trauma"-o'clock

Mission failed successfully?? let's goooo????

Delicious and sweet, just like the snacks

I really like this one, the premise is a best spin in the "mythical being in a mundane world" thing. I'd gladly read a whole series of this especially if Suzuki and the dolphin lady kiss at some point :D

well you gotta hold on to something when doing Sumo, and if it's readily available, why not :D

Okay this chapter cleared up a looooooot, i feel. The way i see it:

Mami-sensei has/had a thing for her student but did the classic "marrying a guy bc they can't be together anyway/family obligations" thing and Ami is her former girlfriend or eternal sidepiece who still can't let go despite being neglected/used (first love maybe?). So she copes/compensates by relishing Rei's jealousy bc it makes her feel wanted/like she's actually first choice or the most important for someone for once.

Whether that's all there is to her feelings for Rei or if she is actually (in the process of) falling for her for real, remains to be seen and working through that is prob what the rest of the manga will be about, i'd wager~

SO this one got picked up for translation on Tapas~! Got dropped with 36 episodes ready to read all at once.

That was nice. I really liked this story.

And screw anyone who was upset they didn't get together. One is an ADUKT and the other is a CHILD.

A child that is undergoing pretty significant psychological distress and in desperate need of an adult in her life that loves and accepts her.

Honestly, to anyone HOPING to see that shit, cry more.

Uh, I am pretty sure it's realistic to want to see them get together or at least struggle with a mutual attraction in a manga with the tags "yuri" and "age gap". IMO the MC sucked but she did help Kazuha when she needed. It was an ok story made worse by it becoming complete yuribait. The tags need to be changed.

yeah i realy start to hate the whole Yuribait crap, how “yuri” for some reason on SOME authors! they think is about any type of relationship between Women/girls! LIKE BROTHER! no one wanna see Friendship when you throw Yuri tags AND age gap! were THAT is used TO MEAN an age gap in an Romantic/Sexual Relationship!

...That's what Yuri means though? Unlike over here, the definition of Yuri is simply much more broad in Japan, including any kind of strong relationship between girls/women, romantic, platonic or otherwise.
You can't fault authors for using a genre tag for their work as intended in the industry/region they operate in (and similarly ppl over here wo apply the same tags to works based on what the author uses, before it's finished). I understand being disappointed and all but honestly, this sounds like a you problem with how you manage your expectations regarding the genre.

Nothing in this manga was super bait-y in regards to a possible romantic relationship between the two leads, imho. There have been far more egregious examples of that in the past.

What do you think is the reason Magenta's immune to ASMR? Is it because she's too innocent to understand the sexual implication of ear touching/breathing/licking?

I think it's simpler than that. As is in the name ASMR is a specific response, one that just not everybody experiences myself included. It simply doesn't do anything for some people, that's prob all there is to it xD

Why was this in the recent chapters list when the release date says 2019?

The date is when the chapter was first released in general. It's in the recent chapters bc it just now got uploaded here on Dynasty.

There's The Saintess has a Showdown too

You're right, now that I look I'm surprised it isn't in the picture actually. I just took a screenshot of the GL genre rubric and Saintess definitely has the GL tag as well o.o odd.

Welp, Bilibili Comics and its associated app are going to officially shut down next month on February 29th, taking with it the official English releases of all these Yuri Manhua.

I hope someone took it upon themselves to preserve them somehow before they inevitably fall into the void, never to be heard from again.

Pro tip don't actually cut bread fresh out of the oven, wait for it to cool! Hot bread is still a little, how would you say it, gooey? so the texture isn't the fluffy one we all know and love and eating it isn't as pleasant an experience

I can't believe you just said that eating bread fresh out of the oven isn't as pleasant an experience. I am always so excited if I happen to get freshly baked bread from the bakery and make sure to eat a chunk while it's still hot.

Oh biting into it and eating it as is is absolutely insanely pleasant. But OP has a point that when using it for a sandwich or smth, cutting into oven-warm bread ruins the crumb somewhat, which makes the texture worse :D

I'm still under the assumption/hope that the relationship situation will at some point evolve into some form of OT3, whether that's a open relationship style dating + casual sex or full-on triad polyamory (my preferred end goal).

The direction up to this point certainly suggests as much, to me at least

1. Establish important connection between MC and Love Interest A
2. Bring in Love Interest B and form meaningful Relationship between them and MC
3. ???
4. MC (and LI B?) meets LI A and has to reconcile their feelings for A with the same for B
5. MC come to the conclusion that both are equally important and strives to continue them both
6. ???
7. Profit

gaaahhhhh and just as Asumi resolved herself to start looking again Mai goes out of reach again! Author-sensei sure knows how to tease us xD

speaking as a lesbian who's outlived a girlfriend, this story is not pointless. none of our love stories are pointless, even when they're bitterly sad. but this one was quite kind to its protagonists, i thought- they loved eachother, and it was both healthy and mutually supportive, they made a big difference to eachother, and in the end, they both knew it was mutual. sometimes life doesn't give you that final exchange, yk?

Speak for yourself. None of my personal experiences with love were useful. if i could rewind time i would have avoided living those bad experiences instead. I see everyone qualifying this ending as "bittersweet". i've found the "bitter" part but never found the "sweet" part. just another depressing story for the sake of being depressing. i wonder why the depressing as fuck tag wasn't applied there... art style was good i'll admit but aside from that it lasted way to long for nothing when it could have just been a one shot.

Different people take away different things from a story so if this one didn't resonate with you that's valid. Speaking solely in terms of storytelling though, it was anything but pointless. At the beginning of it Shizuku was suicidal and Kaori was hanging on by a single thread of motivation. Kaori's death was a foregone conclusion but within that conclusion they we're both in a better place for having met each other.
Kaori gave Shizuku the will to live back (not just to survive but to live) and Shizuku have Kaori fulfillment and happiness she hadn't known since getting her ultimatum on life. It's heartrending and sad but also still an ending that looks toward the future positively, not spiting everything that happened but carrying it with it.

ugh fuck me right up T.T

can´t belive it´s been almost a year since the last update here, does anybody knows what happened.

It got recently picked back up by someone over on dex

Wooooo, volume 10 is finally out. Now that there's no more gap between the volumes and the simulpub chapters it's time for a complete reread that will once again plunge me into uncomfortably-close-to-home-hitting realizations of myself

what that tail be doin though

@Star Light the 2023win refers to Winter Comiket 2023. This is an illustration they made for it.

That surprise reveal was a great, delicious piece of dramatic irony. The leader who so inspired her to be one, hated being one herself and both of them taking what Kiki said to her back then to heart is what led them to become partners and dance together.

And also it's a great callback to the very first chapter, where we saw that Kiki was already that tall in elementary school. So it may be a coincidence but it's not completely out of nowhere at all and that just makes it work so well~
