So is this manga dead or? Because, it's been a while since the last update, and all of the chapters have been removed from mangadex for some reason.

This is incredibly confusing. It made no real sense until the very end. A better TL would certainly help. Also, who is the enby?

Also bisexual tag perhaps

I feel like a polysexual tag would work in this case.

She's a gangsta.

Awww. How can Shou make my heart flutter with just two simple smiles. <3

can't believe i lived to see tadokoro-san turning into hentai

Given the authors previous works, I'm surprised it took as long as it did. I was quite shocked when I found out what they used to make. Bonnari is the alias they went under. I will warn you. It may ruin the image you have of them. It didn't ruin it for me. People have different tastes, and I can enjoy a work even if the artist draws/drew things that aren't to my liking.

Cute and wholesome with a touch of lewdness. Love it.

Some of ya'll thought this manga was nearing the end.

Remember them?

This is them now.

Omg, bless Kageko's sweet little gay heart.

I love this translation group omg their pages at the end are so good

Hmmm, no maidens?

Are you serious? That's the ending? Jeez, how many hours did I waste reading this?
This feels incredibly rushed, even if it was the authors intention, which didn't seem to be the case. The previous chapter focused on different characters entirely. So we just jump back to the main charactes and they die in a single chapter? It feels to me like it was either cancelled, or the author just doesn't want to write it anymore.
This is going right up there with Dragonhead on my "high quality, but will never recommend due to ending" list. Not as bad as Dragonhead, but still awful.

I guess the end is near huh, this manga has been a wild ride for me. Thanks for the translation!

Don't know if it's nearing the actual ending of the manga. I expect them all to join forces before that happens. Against the obvious real villain.

@FilthyFlow I never got the impression that Tomoko cared about her sexuality. She just seems to do whatever she wants in that regard. She's clearly sexually attracted to both girls and guys, but it seems like it either doesn't matter to her, or she isn't aware that it might matter to other people.
I'd honestly love to have a chapter about that from the manga, but I don't think that will happen.

Maybe this should be tagged subtext, unless hugging your best friend is considered gay now.

It's part of a yuri anthology by Ultra Jump.

Hence, it's yuri.

That is not a justification https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/arias_egg#1
The content matters more the the anthology it's a part of, and the site doesn't tag things based on their titles.

I'm just feeling a bit misled. The gayest thing that happens in this is a prolonged hug. When I click on something with the yuri tag, I'm expecting a little more than just "best friends forever". Not that this wasn't a good read, but it isn't yuri.

With the premise of this series essentially being the erradication of misogyny through the power of gay, it took me a few seconds to realize that the shopkeeper was implying they should prostitute themselves to pay for their goods. Seriously, I don't know what tone that was supposed to be delivered with.

The title, Kata Koi（片恋）can means "one-sided love" literally. Kata（かた）can also means shoulder because the two words have same pronunciation in Japanese.

Thank you for explaining it.

Obviously, in this case, it was just one interaction in a string of interactions and there's no real way a random high school girl could do anything to meaningfully help an unrelated adult working at a black company, so maybe it was more about helping the OL feel good about herself despite the sleep deprivation.

That's a pretty cynical world view. Obviously this isn't true for everyone, but some people just need a little encouragement or a boost in confidence, even a small one, to improve their outlook. That kind of thing can be life-changing. Do something nice for somebody you don't know when the opportunity arises. You'll feel better, and you might even save someone's life.

(Though the "traveled in time through masturbating too hard" does undermine the somberness of things.)

I believe this has been a key point all along—if the “time travel” trope has been anything more serious than a vehicle for stringing together ecchi scenes, I have yet to perceive it.

I would be surprised if it was even treated seriously enough for her to go back to her own time. This might just go the poly/selfcest route and end there. I'm all for that tbh. It's the kind of batshit ending that this manga needs.

Well, if there's no way for her to go back to her own time, then why tf not?

This manhua doesn't subvert all cliches; just the bad ones. We still get to keep the good ones, like making out in the gym storage room.

Thats a...thats a real picture of water with a filter over it, isn't it? No hate just...interesting

The mangaka has been doing that with backgrounds for this entire manga. The same page features trees and a mountain that are most certainly pulled from pictures. Shortcuts like that on backgrounds are pretty standard in the industry. As long as the photos are personal, purchased, or public domain, then it doesn't really matter.

btw for anyone who plays VRChat or wants the model, I've bashed together Tong-Tong and making Xiaolu next (Mori#3630)

Oh my god, that is adorable.

This may very well be the best yuri series I've personally ever read. It's done everything I've wanted it to do, and avoided all of the bullshit tropes. It's so wonderful and fluffy, and my heart melts with every chapter.

Poly stuff is so rare that whenever I see it it's like a part of my psyche has been edging for a looong time, and it's just one big release of oxytocin.
