I usually dislike asking this, but... did this series get dropped, or..?

snerk that echo of deep revelation for Kazuki's big sister, hah

Also, you go Hime! That was pretty brave, to ask about that--to your girl's sister of all people. I am glad I had the internet, there was no way I would have ever asked anyone about it myself like that, I would have burned up from embarrassment and died a sad lesbian husk, lol.

But still, it's impressive that you found as many as you did, not gonna lie.

Never, ever, underestimate the ability of a retired 40 year old book nerd with far too much time on her hands.

That said, again, I'm enjoying the fact that there have been a couple light novels translated and uploaded here. I respect all the hard work put into translating and formatting page after page of text very much.

Sakurako's confession here is the point where she started to more or less take their relationship as a given and acted it too.

And for those who are unaware/have forgotten, "月が綺麗ですね / Tsuki ga kirei desu ne? / The moon is beautiful, isn’t it?" is a well-known, "roundabout" way to say "I love you" in Japanese. ~_^

Also, lololololol @ "sit on my face" and "<3" at the casual neck-fixin' smoochin'.

Next chapter next month

Lemme know if you want some help with QC. I've been interested in this series for several months now, so I wouldn't mind putting in the time. Plus, me being my grammar Nazi self, I have been noticing a few errors as I've been reading this chapter. Nothing super egregious, but enough I thought I may as well offer to help out.

I offered the same thing, heh, but figured they must have enough help.

Also, (apparently) obligatory "REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE iT's NoT a MaNgA i DoN't WaNnA rEaD WoRdS REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" ^_~

I actually struggled a bit with keeping all the characters straight, too. Mostly because I consume ungodly amounts of yuri manga and manga in general so often things like names don't stick well in my head. But I went back and re-read it from the start a few months ago and that helped a ton. And now it won't be around anymore and I have A Sad.

I've been reading it for years. I'm glad that it got a good ending. I'll miss it.

Hits me hard in my little gay feels. Reminds me of me and my BFF.

Then "Grilfriends" may have a possibility

It's "Girl Friends"! Not "Girlfriends"! Goddamnit!

No.

Okay no. But also yes? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girl_Friends_(manga) This one was removed from this site when it got licensed, I believe.

I think Mitsuko broke her own heart.
Man how can I like a story, and yet hate it so much?

We can appreciate things without having to be happy with them. At least, that's what I think about it. Maturity helps too, it means we can accept that the world just sucks sometimes and there is no greater meaning to it than that.

I knew I would be angry at this story but I read it anyway. What I ended up with was some surprise and irritation rather than just anger. Surprised that it was Kyouko who was actually faithful despite her apparently "okayed" workplace flirting (I'm assuming that's why the angry man came barging into the bar, because she had just been leading him on); and surprised that Mitsuko ended up being the cheat in the end and accidentally ended up with the goal that all those other women she so frowned upon apparently aimed so hard for. I felt horrible for Kyouko and mostly sad for and disappointed with Mitsuko.

It made me feel feelings that I don't like, too. I'm technically bi myself, so it makes me especially uncomfortable when I see things that use being bi as a plot device that ends up framing it as something unwholesome. (The nasty remarks by certain frequent posters don't help much, either, but I thank Nezchan for keeping a keen eye on that baloney.)

@shojie07
I'm translating the novel as well. First chapter will be out by the end of this month.

If you need any help with QC and such feel free to @me. I can't translate anything (ugh kanji) but I'm pretty good with proper English and proofreading and the like.

TFW when the devil bully has conveniently placed devil horn barrettes in her hair.

Perhaps we should have a "useless lesbians" tag after all for stories like this? lol

Yeah, Kaori definitely originally got upset at Emi because she didn't like the idea of her dating someone. One could argue that the reason she finally gets up the courage to confront Emi after what's apparently been years is because she overheard her talking about going to a mixer. Even back in middle school (and maybe as far back as in elementary school) Kaori had a crush on Emi and was aware of it. Emi is clearly obsessed with Kaori too, as evidenced by the dress, but clearly she'd never thought about dating her. She just wants to be by her side forever.

I find this is very common in yuri, where a character will take forever to realize that she likes someone romantically/sexually, though I wonder how common it is in real life. I think people tend to know very quickly if they're attracted to someone, even if it does take longer to realize you love them. I can't tell if this represents a common phenomenon or just an affectation of the genre.

I dunno how common it is per se but it happened to me, so maybe that's why I'm a lot more tolerant of stories that use that kind of trope. I grew up in a very very oppressive household, and in an area where "gay" was Not A Thing To Be Discussed, so I had no idea what it even really meant till I got to high school. I never liked boys that way. Once I got to high school, I was confused why my female peers did but I didn't, but being attracted to women instead never occurred to me. I was also never one who had many (girl) friends, but those I did have I would be SUPER attached to. I was oblivious but many of those around me were not. Eventually I was teased and harassed. Cue incredible amounts of shame and repression for many, many years, even though my own actions and emotions basically SCREAMED at me "lol ur so gay" in bright neon letters.

I met my BFF 20 years ago, when I was 19. She was my first love. At the time, because of my ignorance (aided and abetted by denial), I still couldn't distinguish my feelings as being anything more than a deep attachment to an awesome person. Things got rough for a while, especially after she started seeing her boyfriend (now husband). Somehow our relationship survived, and I managed to STILL believe I was straight AF. I didn't self-accept and fully come to terms with it till I was in my early 30's though, when I started to meet people online who were LGTBQ and made me feel comfortable for the first time ever. I was finally able to really truly sit back and think "Okay, just, wtf. Why didn't I just figure out and accept all this sooner?".

So yeah, it can really happen. And I think probably more commonly than people think, especially in cultures that are still very rigid about gender roles and/or tend to be pretty homophobic.

I'm going to regret getting so personal here, but whatever, yolo.

And then here's me, spewing out my miserable life's story, hah

what page was it implied that kaori has boyfriend? i reread and still cant find the implication.

Yeah me either. I think maybe they were referring to the flashback where it was said "she stands next to him" when she was talking about her hanging out with "princesses" and "princes". But nowhere is it said that currently Kaoru is dating anyone.

But in page 13, she said "you get a boyfriend too, kaori" which literally implies that kaori has no boyfriend at that time and the fact that kaori cried after hearing that just shows for me that she was hurt by the fact that the emi is looking for a boyfriend(prince). This is why kaori was so desperate to confirmed that the dress was made for her because i think she cannot stomach the possibility that Emi made that dress for her own so she can find her prince and clearly Emi also feels that way to Kaori too.

You do realize that we are in agreement? I'm saying that we know Emi doesn't have a boyfriend because she's thinking about princes and going to a mixer. We assume Kaori doesn't have one, either, just by how things are written.

The line in question about "standing next to (him)" was a flashback to middle school where Emi was commenting about how Kaori seemed at home amongst all the princesses and princes after her image "upgrade" courtesy of the hairpins, and was especially bitter about the princes. The scene you are describing about "you get a boyfriend too" also happened in middle school, after Emi tried to spruce up her own looks as a reaction to Kaori's new popularity. That's why they show the room number in the scene before-- 5-3. They're in grade 5 there, middle school. And yes, Kaori is the one who got snitty with Emi when the subject of "get a bofyriend" came up during that same flashback period. So she started the rift, and both never bothered to try to fix it till now.

How has nobody said "breast friends" yet?

The user in question follows a pattern of comment about how yuri should always be "pure", so anything portrayed besides "innocent wholesomeness" seems to warrant a mini rant about how it's gross etc. Hating on a bi character is just one part of their whole purity shtick.

Bisexual...hmmm, from Nekomura...hmm, i`ll avoid this...
I got very triggered by this story
Pd. Toxic relationship...
Really i feel dissapointed and surprised that Nekomura draw this...

The fact that mc is bisexual is like, what matters the least in this story.

It’s kind of crazy to me that so many people hate bisexual characters in yuri. It’s usually ends up being some weird purity thing and I dunno, it’s odd. Like of all the things to be bothered by in the story, it’s that the girl who is seemingly repeatedly taken adavantage of and treated like crap is bisexual?

Probably better for your sanity if you pretty much ignore anything the OP here says. Usually it's just selfish dreck about how yuri needs to be fluffy and pure according to some personal standard.

Interesting... but I reckon I'm too much of a literary snob to really enjoy this one. Typos, funky grammar and repetitive word use irk me.

Oh my stars and garters

My bad, i'm really sorry T_T

Pffffffttt hahahahaha, well, at least you apologized for being buttmad at me once you understood the joke. That's more than most folks do. ;)

Zero Stars, Actually Total Shit
