I don’t know about others but in most stories I seen with a bisexual tag on Dynasty usually ends up having a girl heartbroken because the one she loves left her for a man.
I’ve been scarred by this one: https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/sweet_lips_1

Umm surely there must be some kinda mistake?
That story is Sweet Lips by Morinaga Milk, who is one of the most loved and admired authors of yuri manga in this forum. And it's NOT a story where a girl leaves her female lover for a man! Morinaga Milk doesn't write stories like that; one of the reasons she's so loved by the fans is that, in her manga, no matter how rocky the road, yuri always prevails in the end.
It's what happens in Sweet Lips: the MC dumps her boyfriend because she likes the other girl better. It's shown and stated clearly; there isn't any ambiguity about that. What could give you the idea it was otherwise???

Was Nozomi always supposed to be so utterly oblivious about homosexuality?

Always had the impression her baseline character setting was "Clueless About ALL The Things"... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Lol, I bet that, next chapter, she's going to ask Asama about this.

"Hey, hey, Asama-san, guess what? Manager is dating another woman!
It's true, I swear! I saw them kiss and stuff!
And they're serious about it! Manager says they're already living together!
I was so surprised! I didn't know two girls could fall in love like that!
I mean, no girl has ever felt attracted to me, haha!
What about you, Asama-san? Did you know about this amazing stuff?
Have you ever felt attracted to another woman?
Ohmygosh, listen to me, haha, what am I saying? Of course you've never felt anything like that, right, Asama-san?"

Then Asama will finally lose her legendary cool and jump Nozomi's bones in a fit of frenzy.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡ -)～☆

Look at the bitch
She gonna snitch

This manga is made of pure happiness. Every time a new chapter is released, I'm overjoyed.

What is this manga made of, made of?
What is this manga made of?
WAFFs and sighs and everything nice;
That's what this manga is made of.

That's what I was thinking too but it's a bit extreme to almost bite someone's ear off (who would want to hurt the person they love?)

Hm... but the dressing on her ear is rather tiny, isn't it?
It couldn't have been that bad...

People are blowing that bite way out of proportion.

I'd say. That patch on her ear is pretty much a band-aid.
The other girl just wanted to put her own mark over the marks of all the previous bfs & gfs. The bite wasn't that sharp. It just drew a little blood, that's all.

All the cries of "ABUSIVE/TOXIC RELATIONSHIP!" just sound like they're making a mountain out of a molehill. You guys are overreacting.

Iirc the word "toxic" was used only once, and the guy who used it is a homophobe and a notorious troll. Feel free to ignore it.

As for "abusive"... a few people made such comments, yes. I think they didn't quite understand what was going on. Ao-chan is a nice person, kind and caring; this was well established in the first half of the manga. But she got incredibly jealous when she found that Shuri was still wearing those earrings and ear studs, because they were symbols of her belonging to other people. Sure, that was all in the past, but she was wearing them NOW and had been wearing them for all the months they have been together! You would get angry for much less...

That's what the ending is about. Not an abusive lover, a jealous lover whose jealousy is actually well justified. That's also why Shuri feels very happy instead of scared: Ao-chan getting so jealous proves how strong her love for Shuri is. And the bite was just to overlay a new "mark" over the "marks" of Shuri's previous lovers.

Amen to that. Also, another telling clue: when someone gets to the point where they can only defend their stance about some manga by insulting another manga (one which is well-loved by 99,9% of the readers), it's time to tell them to can it.

So... any clue who the character at the end is or who she's referring to?

My guess is Kurokawa. She looks like the type of childhood friend who is the only one that knows a rare side of one of the MC's and has been head over heels ever since she witnessed that side.

It's been suggested that this mystery chick could be Mirei-chan, the girl in Kurokawa's kindergarten flashback - the one who played the princess in their class play, and left Kurokawa with the role of the horse. But I find it difficult to believe.

In the 1st place, big diff in styles. In the 2d place, "best friend for 7 years" is not how Kurokawa remembers her, and it seems unlikely Mirei would say "my angel" about someone she obviously did not like at the time.

Nothing much happened in this chapter...
People talked a lot to no particular end, and there were no new developments for the two MCs. That's it.

I feel you. I was disappointed by the complete lack of development in their awareness of each other's feelings. For a moment, it even reminded me of We Can't Draw Love (ugh). I srsly hope this manga won't go that way.

Fujishiro's hug definitely left an impression on Kurokawa. Now she questions what that was actually about and Fujishiro is certainly aware that she was doing something odd.

Frankly, this looked to me like a step backwards.

Especially when they've already had much more intimate touches! Like handholding! With intertwined fingers! Several times! Right? (≧∇≦）

Why the sudden awkwardness, when up to now they seemed to be comfy with those moments of touchy-feeliness and deep emotion?

I gotta give it to you that the conclusion of the hug scene seems forced. By this point Kurokawa should be used to Fujishiro touching her every time she gets passionate, or scared, or whatevs.

We also have reason to suspect that Isumi has a crush on Fujishiro. But no development on that yet.

Heck, it seems Izumi hasn't even grasped yet that Kurokawa is her rival...

It's freaking obvious Izumi is crazy for Fujishiro. She never said anything coz Fujishiro is For Boys Only, or at least that's how it used to be: until very recently, Fujishiro was all about boys. Izumi couldn't possibly have realized that it has changed. She probably thinks the Fujishiro/Kurokawa thing is just a bond of friendship (and actually, as long as they stay at this stage, she's not that wrong).

It was revealed that the reason Miki is such a bitch to Kurokawa and badmouthes Fujishiro is that she actually really adored her and can't cope with her change.

Pfffff... Miki is such a marginal existence in the story, I couldn't care less.

Lolol, Miki, of all people. It says something when the best example they can come up with (to show there's been development in this chapter) is that a secondary character made a comment about a tertiary character.

In any case, if she admired Fujishiro, it's because Fujishiro was the queen bee of the school and had all the boy-drones at her feet. For her, that was the ideal role model. Straight as an arrow, our Miki.

Oh, I almost forgot: tertiary character and straight! Wee!

A new childhood friend character will appear in the story soon, who apparently knew one of the MCs for 7 years and calls them her "angel".

Ah yes... that's kind of a development flag, alright... too bad it's the kind of flag that announces a new obstacle in the way of the relationship between the two MCs...

I've been loving this story so far, every chapter of it. But this particular chapter felt empty to me. Perhaps I've been spoiled by Nikaidou/Tadokoro and hoped for these two to turn more that way? Go figure.

Hah, so you wanted something like this:

Or this:

These are the sort of hugs you wanted them to share, right? ͡( ° ͜ʖ ͡ –) ~✧

It will come... as long as the story doesn't turn into We Can't Draw Love.

Lol everyone's complaining that Touko has a yuri affair with her friend & classmate instead of with her own blood-related sister.

We sure love our incest at Dynasty forums. :P

It certainly looks more like an omake chapter than anything. Might actually be the traditional end-of-volume omake too, looking at the chapter-count patterns.

...though in my books much is in any case forgiven due to smugly confident Harumi spouting cheesy HOT BLOODED shounen tripe lmao

Word!

inb4 Moka shows us the power of a gigolette =3=

LOL, I'd love to read that crossover.

whatever happens, i'll never drop this

Right there with you.

wait what ?
a
toy cigarette ? xD

lmao my reaction as well

I cry foul! There's no way that's a toy cigarette! Look here:

What kind of toy actually burns and releases smoke!?

So the title could be translated as "Ojou-sama wants to become a love comedy protagonist".

Thank you for the translation. I wanted to know the meaning of that title.

Really? There is an entire vocabulary for that genre?

Oboy you have no idea. Rom-com is by very very far the most popular manga genre; there are literally thousands of stories being serialized or self-published. So of course there's an extensive vocabulary to describe all the typical tropes.

Minori is the best. Coco-chan is the best. Everything in this manga is the best!

...

Aaand I guess we will get now 100 messages from readers who reside in USA complaining that the FBI is coming for them. Sigh. Must be sucky to live in that country.

There's a problem with the translation of Lily's family name.

Sometimes it's Kazami.
Sometimes it's Kazumi.
Sometimes it's Kagami.

Is it a really complicated kanji or something?

Have these girls ever gotten around to give each other their names?

I don't think anyone in this reality has names.

Of course they have. They are called Lesbian number 1, Lesbian number 2, and so on and so forth.

Holy shit they didn't say lesbian that chapter.

Huhu.
Read the writings on the sticks for the Queen Game. <3

idk, I find that Nikaido being all lewd/thirsty is kind of a letdown, since up until now she's actually been her own brand of innocent. Maybe not oblivious-innocent like Todakoro-san, but not a horndog.

Mebbe... but if one of the girls (at least one of them) doesn't get a bit lewd/thirsty/horny, the yuri will never reach the ecchi.

Which movie are you guys talking about?

Not movie. Webcomic. Here's Gisèle's website where all her comics are hosted:

HERE BE CANADIAN SEXY COMICS WITH LOTSA YURI

And this is the page for the "Ménage à 3" comic:

HERE BE EVEN MOAR CANADIAN YURI

I don't know how many people here have read the webcomic "Ménage à 3" by Gisèle Lagacé... but I just have to say it: Straight Girl reminds me a whole lot of Sonya.

Sonya's catchphrase "I'm not a lesbian!" that she likes to say all the time (especially when in bed with another woman, scissoring or doing cunnilingus) could totally be this girl's motto.

I love that webcomic.

Last news, Sonya has a new girlfriend: a James-Bond-like international spy who just left for Europe on a mission. Naturally, Sonya went with her.
She still claims that, why, of course, she's obviously not a lesbian. :P

Why are you peeps talking about RAPE now???

Gosh, this threads have a way to degenerate, it's unbelievable... ┐( ͡ಠ ʖ̯ ͡ಠ)┌

So there's Kanako, Yumi, Misaki... we still don't know the name of the second brunette, huh?

That trivia is interesting... Which cat food song? The meowmix one?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldxYuP9BRwQ

I bet it's this one, judging by the text in the untranslated version (second image in link)
https://twitter.com/suzusima/status/1081157120257474561

Uh yeah, that's the one. But, y'know, that question had already been answered six pages ago, lol.

Quoting:

In the final page of last chapter, when the two are (or seem to be) about to kiss, everyone starts singing: "Kiss! Kiss! Let's kiss!" A side note tells us that this song is a play on a certain 'cat food song' -- but without giving us any further details.

Well, that 'cat food song' does exist. It's this song here, which is used in a commercial for Ciao Chooru, a snack for kitties. The refrain "Chooru! Chooru! Ciao Chooru!" is what the mixer girls are mimicking with their kiss song.

Seeing as Ciao Chooru is a treat for cats, and the bottom/sub lesbian in a relationship is commonly called the "neko" (cat), it's easy to understand why giving a reward to your cute and cuddly "neko" -- like a reward kiss -- can be associated to this song. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡ -)～☆

The link takes you to a translated (subbed) version of the song:

Those perverted heterosexuals!!

Im guessing we'll have the ending where she goes home and then Yuri girlfriend doesn't come with and its all sad until she finds her counterpart which turns out to be a dude and then everyone rage quits the manga

Oh for... SIGH. I know other commenters went over this already, but let's go at it one more time.

In the Yuriworld, females are unchanged in everything except sexual behavior. They are the same people Marika know in the normal world, only turned to yuri. Eg: Toudou and Ogino, Marika's best friends, who are still the same Toudou and Ogino she remembers from the day before -- but who now are dating each other.

On the other hand, males have changed. How? It's not 100% clear yet, but at least some of them have turned into gender-swapped versions of themselves. Eg: Marika's little brother is now a girl who looks just like he would look wearing a wig.

So yeah, some chicks in this Yuriworld have male counterparts in the normal world. That's a fact.

But other chicks have identical female counterparts. They look the same in both worlds. That's a fact too.

And Kazami Lily is one of the latter. We know this because Marika told us so. When she first saw Lily in the Yuriworld, Marika said: "Oh yeah, this is Kazami Lily, the school prodigy, she's in the neighboring class." Which means there is an identical female Kazami Lily in Marika's original world. Which means Marika will NOT return to her "normal" world and date a male version of Lily, because such a male individual doesn't exist. Lily is a girl everywhere.

Enough of this baseless speculation already, geez.

Unless she gets transported to another alternate world where everyone has turned into men or everyone has swapped genders.

Naaah. Two worlds is the isekai rule.

Also, her new sister looks like a feminine version of her old brother, but I’m sure that’s what you meant by “he’s the same, but looks like he’s wearing a wig.”

Reading back, she said "a girl who looks just like he would look wearing a wig." So, new imouto is a girl, yes, it should be obvious. And she has the same face his otouto has, which is why she recognized her immediately. Not sure what's the point in debate.

There’s no physical trace of a boy left.

Errr... otouto-kun is still in Marika's universe and this imouto is a completely different person who was born a girl and lived always as a girl. We agree on that, right?

I wonder if her “yuri self” swapped places with her or if she’s just inhabiting “her” body while her world is frozen in time?

I'm more or less sure we have a parallel universe here, independent and separated from this universe. All the info so far supports that. Not certain what happened to Marika's parallel "yuri self" but if I have to bet I'll go with the 'she died/vanished/dematerialized and Marika was brought into parallel world to replace her' explanation.

Although the real explanation is prolly that the author doesn't really care and neither should we. MST3K Mantra: 'It's just a manga, I should really just relax.'
