Oh wow we're starting off strong, aren't we? I may just be seeing things, but I'm like... 95% sure that Kon is supposed to be autistic and masking hard. That's what "I need to do whatever it takes to lead the life of 'someone normal'" indicates to me, as well as the general trouble with social cues that pops up in a few different places this chapter.

Either way, super super looking forward to this. I still haven't gotten around to Brides of Iberis yet unfortunately, but Octave is up there as an all time fave for me. I live for Akiyama Haru's brand of drama.

I must have come back to read this one like four times already. Easily one of the best one-shots on the site. It perfectly tells the story it wants to tell, and everyone else has commented on it already, but "rainbow ending" is very funny here.

It’s kinda funny that by most standards this is a somewhat dramatic one-shot, but by the standards of this mangaka this is pure fluff.

I almost wish they could find and catch the lady who scammed them, but really it ended in the perfect place. We don't need to see anything more than the miracle.

Oh this is great, I love how this started. I don’t really buy that it’s just Kazura whose attachment is ruining the suicide attempts. There’s so much about Kinka that we don’t know yet, and very importantly we don’t know why she wants to die yet. Very easy for her to blame things on Kazura, though- she does seem to be a bit of a doormat (for understandable reasons, but a doormat nonetheless).

Oh, this is great. I wish it was played a little more seriously, but it’s very sweet.

Oh, I love the buildup here.

That last side story was very cute, but it kinda feels out of place with the rest of the manga

Oh this author really loves writing about partings, huh? But it's a very yuri kind of situation, so it makes sense.

Oh yeah, that fits Aoi really well! Although she's great as an idol too, of course.

Oh man, this almost made me cry. The author nailed LoveSetsu here, Love and Setsuna's voices both shine through so strongly.

Oh, this is adorable. I had to go back and look for SakiMai doujins after seeing that Saki has a ring in the new Precure trailer and Mai doesn't, so this is satisfying

Oh wow, this is adorable. A present from God...

I suppose I can consider this one-shot a gift from whoever is maintaining the Featured Chapter sidebar.

This is pretty funny so far. I wonder how long Suzunomiya will keep up the noble act.

This one is adorable. Honestly I think the height gap really sells it. Not sure why, it’s just so cute to me.

Man, this is my favorite ReiMari doujin. Just fantastic all around. I love it when there's mutual attraction, but neither could make the leap.

"The real Marisa's heart doesn't race at all." Yeah, because she's used to it

Oh man, so that’s where the translation leaves off on. A but of a cliffhanger, but better that than the even worse cliffhanger it was on for 6 years.

And I gotta say, I’m a total sucker for stories about people figuring out their sexuality, especially when it’s out of high school. Generally that shows up as a drama, and this is more of a comedy manga, but it’s still a lot of fun.

Dropped everything the second I saw this updated. Can't believe the maid doesn't approve, truly horrible...

Interesting setup, but I'm gonna have to wait to say if it's any good yet. We'll have to see what Hibiki's actually thinking first. Interiority, that's the key.

Felt a bit quick, but I thought it was really cute.

Had to go check, interesting to see that this one-shot got another translation. Well, I'm willing to read it again.

Oh thank you I was so confused. I still can’t find the original though, was it removed ro something?

I'm not sure if it was ever posted here, I read it on mangadex.

I always like this kind of short story collection where it's a bunch of different love stories taking place in the same general location.

And owner lady is right! Don't do it in the bath, other people are there too!

I adore this, you can just FEEL the sheer contempt they have for each other.

Rereading this, Aoi def comes off as polyam/practitioner of polyamory, but burnt out by her failures w women/"tying" a woman down to a more serious relationship (lots of lovers, but no partners, if that makes sense), and she ultimately caves to heteronormative monogamy.

It seems to me that Aoi is someone who keeps caving in to normality every time she fails romantically. Like, after she gave up on pursuing Kaede, she gave up on acting and went to get a "normal" job, and then after she failed in pursuing Nanami- well, you saw that chapter. She went "oh well, I guess I'll get married." It was more an admission of defeat than an actual desire to get married. And that's why she couldn't answer when Nanami asked if she was happy before the wedding. I love it, it's so beautifully tragic to me.
