HAH I love how the author put in like 2 pages of text to drill in the clarification that Lily and Marika are girls in both worlds.

DID NOT see that coming. My guesses are Marika has a gf in the original world, but was still deep in the closet and in denial about her sexuality. Then her subconscious desire threw her into this yuri world where it is accepted. Rereading the first chapter, she really sounds like she's trying way too hard to convince herself that she's "normal".

As I said, by default I’m on the side of a yuri end going into a story, but these circumstances would seem to require a passionate commitment to the relationship by both parties, and Kaoru has yet to show a passionate commitment to much of anything since her pursuit of Numbnuts-onii-san, unless you count “drifting along maintaining the status quo” as a “passionate commitment.”

Yeah i think in the end what this manga really needs is more character development for Kaoru. So far she's only been portrayed as the "wife" and "love interest" but not much outside of that. We need to see her grow as a person before anything can realistically happen. I was gonna say this is a step in the right direction, but Kaoru didn't even finish what she wanted to do. It was Uta who ended up reconfirming things. If Uta didnt push on, I don't even know if Kaoru woulda said anything and just chicken out for another day.

She's in an unfortunate but believable position, and it's unclear how it will all end up. Maybe she'll just give up on her one-sided love some day, and the story will end.

It was asked to the author in an interview if they could hope for any development between Uta and Kaoru. She said that it wouldn't be a yuri manga otherwise

Seriously, though, people who ship the protagonist with a third party are delusional.

I will quote that from back in the past, for the sake of yuri.

I don't deny the possibility of an Uta/Kaoru end. All hints are pointing in that direction and of course one would think that way for a yuri manga with them two as the protagonists. I know hoping they don't end up together is like going into Bloom Into You and hoping Touko will get together with Sayaka. I just really don't want Kaoru and Uta together because the manga literally has not sold me on their relationship in these 20 chapters.

Sure I'll see how they handle it from now on with the confession finally out of the way, but it's been so dragged out and sprinkled with so many useless side plots that I really don't care about them anymore. Like there just isn't the emotional investment in their relationship.

Kuzushiro's "Living with my Brother's Wife" blows this out of the water and tMnR needs to take a pointer or two from it on how to write an engaging relationship between Wife and Sister.

All I'm hoping for right now is what I've been hoping for since the beginning of this manga: Please don't let Uta and Kaoru get together.

lol why do you even bother to give her a chance on a work that OBVIOUSLY says bisexual and cheating in the tags. Why read something you know you wont like?

Just cause Yuri fans dislike her for her bisexual and ntr work doesn't mean she's a bad mangaka. At least give some proper criticism about her work before you make claims like that.

I can criticize her, why? because i now what she writes. When i started to read yuri, she was one of the first mangakas that i know...and i always i feel that something bad was on...and yep, that's it...her stupid bisexual stuff and toxic mangas...and almost always must has a rape on it...so, yeah, that's why i considered her a bad mangaka, now you understand it?

"SHE'S A BAD WRITER BECAUSE SHE WRITES ABOUT THINGS I DON'T LIKE."

Okay dude.

Hahaha it could be possible that this mangaka could do a good Yuri manga? Really? It could be possible? ALMOST ALL HER STORIES ARE BISEXUAL AS F#VK!!!! AND TOXIC AND SHIT!!!!
If she love so much the men, then do a het shoujo manga xd (i hate this author with my soul, since NTR, all her stories, except the fake marriage, are bad and crap)

At this point there's no reason to get your panties in a twist because of her work. It's just her style and what she likes to draw so you gotta accept that. She does have the potential to make sweeter stories (like Renai Manga), but again she prefers this stuff. If you hate her work so much, just look at the tags and move on. Not worth the stroke man.

I'm just sick of her stories, I give her a chance and ALWAYS I over disappointed... don't hide the truth, she's a bad mangaka, that's all, that's why a lot of Yuri fans hate her a lot. And always put shit bisexual stuff...but y'know what? I'm done with her. I preferred ignore everything from this women

Reminds me a lot of Futari Monologue. Love the last panel.

Very Kodama Naoko

Yeah this latest arc just feels very blehhh. I'm ready to move onto the next storyline now.

I dunno what beautiful soul decided to translate all these rare pair love live doujins lately, but I just wanna say, I appreciate you very much.

I love Ojou-sama perverts. Looking forward to this one.

I'm sorry but what is a "Food porn" ? I can't imagine it, no matter how i try to imagine it.

Food pictures/videos that look so good, you orgasm from it.

Ahh, I'm so happy to see more of AyaChisa! Maybe I just haven't been following the right people, but it always feels like there isn't enough of them.

I think it's because AyaChisa isn't very big in the international fandom. Aside from being overshadowed by popular ships like SayoHina, YukiLisa, and MisaKoko, it seems Endori prefers KaoChisa or KanonChisa. I am starting to see more fellow AyaChisa shippers after season 2 ep 5 though so I'm hoping we'll get more content for them.

I think most of us now are here to see if it will get better for Neeko.

I personally no longer have any faith in the author's actual understanding of the topic they tried to tackle with Neeko, so while I do think Aldehyde will try to set up a better future for Neeko in the end, without a proper medical understanding of the actual needs of people with severe anxiety and depression, any "better future" they come up with will be based on false assumptions and ultimately even more aggravating.

Ideally, I'd like to see Neeko end up in therapy and getting proper medical help, but since it's Japan, I don't have any faith either.

I dunno i like the non existence of the drama tag because it makes the dramatic moments all the more impactful and surprising.

HmmMmM some people might've a really bad day or life and trust me this is the least thing they would like to read by surprise when they're looking for some laughs

To be fair if they made it through chapter 6 than they know what to expect

Yeah I think the same. Tbf the manga did start out with a black comedy vibe and was light on the angst, but the angst got gradually stronger. I think if any of the earlier chapters before this one were unbearable to read for someone, they would have dropped this by now. I think most of us now are here to see if it will get better for Neeko.

Awww Chisato just wanted to share an umbrella together.

I feel the author note so much. It's like they took the words outta my own mouth.

Ooof this chapter was tough

As nice as this is, I kinda want them to go back to the whole mangaka/secret fan thing.

In a place like that... I don't even sit on the toilet cause it's fucking disgusting and dirty so there's no way I could get turned on a public toilet.

I remember when I was in Japan that the toilet was my favorite place.

Japanese public toilets are like heaven on earth.

Well, in chapter 6, Anzu shows her true colors AND proves that she doesn't understand Akira at ALL, since she asked her to be her "BOYFRIEND" and not her "GIRLFRIEND". Hopefully Akira will NOT accept her offer and will figure out the real reason Hime has been freaking out and help her get over her "but we're both girls" issues.

Hime isn't just having the two girls issue. She's in a more serious trouble, as she does not want to be a bi/homosexual, but she is. Instead of just coming to accept that it's ok for two girls to be in love and want to be in a relationship, she has to make it ok for herself to be that way as well.

"I want to believe that this is not who I am".

...Isn't the two girls issue the same thing as freaking out if youre gay?

Ironically, manga tends not to give a damn about the whole "representation and identity" crap western media likes to put on a pedestal.

This isn't because the authors are insert-phobic or whatever. It's more that while western portrayals pander the hell out of the whole victimhood and "diversity" aspect of it and politicize it to hell and back, Japanese ones would rather just have a good character. That and you try to tell them there's more than 2 genders and to use people's preferred pronouns and it'll go way over their heads. They haven't and don't need to be exposed to that kind of shitfest.

You...are commenting on a manga that is giving a damn about "representation and identity"...

Seriously, what's wrong with creating series with good characters AND representation?

I dont see Hime as trans but more as her trying to stand up for Akira. I think the story is gonna be about Hime's personal growth and understanding Akira more because so far she's pretty much been acting on what she believes is good for Akira, but doesn't really know what Akira wants herself. So I think the main theme of the story is gonna be about what Hime's reason for wearing the male uniform is.

That being said I kinda hope Hime doesnt come out as trans as well since I think itll detract from her growth as Akira's friend and from Akira's story as transgender. I mean I guess it depends on how they handle it if Hime did come out as trans. For how the story is going so far, I dont think it would make for as strong of a story since right now it feels like a story about being an ally for transgenders.

3p incoming

In seriousness though, I wished this story didnt involve a 3rd romantic party. The main pair already has enough on their hands to flesh out.
