Amazing chapter. Absolutely love it.

I wonder if the two women that left went home together.

Well, they have a shared crummy experience in common and both like women, so why not

I would say that if there's any author whose works would make it worth extending benefit of the doubt to a series like this it would be Sal Jiang, and I have to say that while I hate this sort of story being told for melodrama, it's excellent as a comedy. One of the funniest things I've read in a while. Love it.

Finally the bonus chapter where they both eat out

You would think that a staunch lesbian womanizer with 50 conquests and dating experience to the max would have a better gaydar than that.

I got the impression that Hiroko's "50 girlfriends" were of the same nature as Ayaka's "12 office boyfriends" -- that is to say, largely speculative.

The fact that she had to resort to an international app does suggest a distinct lack of success.

"Even on this app, I can't believe I'm only matching with straight women!" I mean obviously the real barrier is her severe social anxiety but hey who hasn't been there huh folks

Ah yes, just as Collins and Harlan foretold, the nana daba honeymoon

Characters! Being open about their motivations to each other! No way! I can't believe this!

Am I the only one who notices that $1300 for a hotel laptop is insane? That kind of money would get you a gaming laptop with .5 terabyte SSD, i7-i9 processors, nvidia gtx 3050-3060, and 144 hz. Unless the hotel owner girl is actually a hard-core gamer, it would be pretty hard to find a regular laptop with that kind of pricing.

Pretty sure that computer was a MacBook. $1300 for an entry- to mid-level unit is about right. Also why it wouldn't be repairable

I think most people's problem with it is more how the grooming situation was handled than it simply existing (well at least that is how it is for me). This is fiction, but this story constantly brings up many real life issues relating to the LGBT community so having them kinda "tee-hee" away the whole Karen situation isn't very palatable. They acknowledge how wrong it is with the "that's illegal" statement and Aya warning Marika about Karen, but it was portrayed as something to brush off. The overall situation was painted in a comedic light with the whole bar watching the 2 while they are discussing this with smiles on their faces so it was just...weird.

I think the main problem with this series is it doesn't know whether it wants to be mindless porn or a commentary on LGBT matters. If the whole thing isn't really meant to be taken seriously, which from the beginning was a ridiculous premise, then I don't think there would be much issue with the problematic content. But the story offers actual meaningful discussions on real life matters so it makes it hard to "separate fiction from reality" sometimes.

I would agree and think it really undercuts the romance in this chapter to have the last couple chapters go the way they did. "Yeah, I proposed this challenge because I was infatuated and didn't want you to wind up doing compensated dating with some abusive creep. Oh right, my boss who I introduced you to without pointing out she's a nearly Lily Cade level of missing stair in this community is still here huh". Just completely undermines whatever point Aya is trying to make here.

Quite possibly one of the darkest stories on this entire site

Draw it yourself instead of expecting to be catered to.

LMFAO yeah, that is an obviously workable proposal

I feel like this needs the Idiot Couple tag

idiot not-a-couple

Obviously the shadowy figure got that tracking information by convincing her to install a "foursquare for lesbians" app on her phone through the use of targeted ads to people who play "collect one billion wives"

FUCK
YES
THIS IS SO WHOLESOME

I suspect that the definition of wholesome shifted in the past 5 years and I no longer understand what it means

Ending needed to be more gonzo frankly. I want the time loop to spiral out of control leading to an orgy between the two main characters at like every year of their lives, all together. Fucking each other, fucking themselves, then fucking each other, then fucking the very fabric of time itself.

Instead we got this which is dumb but boring and doesn't lend itself to thought or creative interpretation because we're supposed to take it at face value but also conveniently ignore that the POV character just committed like 24 chapters worth of statutory rape.

Meh

Wasn't aware this tag was so old

An interesting concept but I guess it wasn't popular enough to keep the story going. If it was going to end so quickly it's tragic that about as much time in the middle got spent on minor characters as the relationship between the leads.

I guess the market can't support angsty but fairly chaste love triangle stories

I enjoyed this a lot more than its prequel, but go figure; between falling in love stories and stories about people in love trying to figure out how, or even what, to get out of the relationship that they want, I almost always prefer the latter.

Is it weird I think all the interesting parts of the story were the ones skipped over?

Dayum A

I just wanna know what's throwing off the fumes this is huffing (please don't say Hot Gimmick).

I was going to say usagi drop actually

Well that escalated quickly

I'm sure it would if not because of the property but just because voice actresses in such am exposed property, at least ones with major roles, would wind up becoming idols.

This is basically what happened to Aya Hirano

Well I've seen enough yuri where girls set up one of those planetarium lights so of course there has to be one with a suction vibrator
