I was worried after the sudden "childhood promise reminder" in ch31 which felt like a preamble for a super rushed "development"/cop out due to the axe, wasting all build-up accumulated from ch01.
Madoka Akbar, I really should have had more trust in the author, he didn't cop out, the childhood promise only serves as a nudge for Tae to force her unsorted accumulated feelings into shape, and the story ending on a promise to wait until Mai is old enough (with Mai's volition) is okay enough. That is the only proper ending for this series, considering all the things that had happened so far.

(In hindsight, I might have worried too much, not even such brutal axe as the one Tatoe Todokanu received could make tMnR throw away such build-up out the window.)

^forget pride month, the colourful aurorae both northern and southern run year-round :))

"Ch 17.1" aka the extra that accompanied the ASMR is not an integral part of the manga proper, but a pornographic extra and actually sold separately as such. The scanlators group went the extra mile and brought us the uncensored version, though I'm not sure if they got the uncensored raw or they put in some elbow grease, but either way, kudos to them.

Madoka Akbar! Would you look at that, she's wiggling her fingers and slipping her way underneath the glove, promising a steamy hot session of Insane Amounts of Hand-holding. Lewd.

@Falleax: Just stay away from any post with that tag, or blacklist that tag and any other tags you don't want to see and be done with it.

Now we even have the Hatesex tag but still no Aquarium tag, smh.

Singles' problem requires singles' solution.

The hands in this image, especially the groom's missing finger prompted me to check the artist's twitter. He's not very good at drawing hands, to put it mildly.

Your Honour, Miss Miorine is innocent, she was framed!

Schrödinger's Yuri

What hits harder than a confession? Confessing while pinning the willing recipient on a bed and furiously groping her boobs the entire time.

Kagiana is sailing her rare ships again :))

Nah, Saki, be honest, the horns are out now because you are... horny. Ba dum tss.

Ch31: This Madoka teacher lady has only appeared, like, once and briefly before, and there is literally no build up in between (because all screentime is spent on Tae's interactions with the gradeschoolers), and now one mention of a childhood promise and that's it? If one only reads the summary that could be an okay end content-wise, but storycrafting-wise it's totally shit technique, which is totally out of place seeing how the author has decently done the prior parts of the story so far. Therefore the only explanation is that the Axe has been raised and on the way down.

Stories with large age gap and characters fully aware of the problems in their progress like this are fine to go either way (double down with the age gap couple, or introduce a new love interest of legal age, or the middle ground, timeskip), but let it build up properly, goddamn it.

^it's Gundam, so you better define what level of leftover pain is tolerable first

Got the feeling it lacks of at least one important tag.

"Het"?

It appears that Het is not a focus, so Het on page 4 & Het on page 5 for this chapter 01 should suffice.

So the ahoge is like their soul gems, but the plug-in or NFC type, not long range wireless like Kyubey-issued type, got it.

bloody hate the hurt them to help them trope. Mio, Eri and Prospera have all made/let Suletta become dependent on them and then tried to just cut her loose so she can be "free". Free from what, support?

To be fair, Mio is charging headlong into high level politics amongst major leaders of military-industrial complex with the aim of putting a stop to war, while Prospera is pulling a giant revenge plot with the ultimate weapon aERIal consenting to it. Both trajectories could turn very bloody very fast, so it makes good sense for them to push Suletta off without explanation, since the less she knows and involves with such plots the higher her chances of surviving and living freely. From their points of view, the suffering they are causing her is hard, but the other way could be literal death, so their choices are limited.

"For the greater good", isn't that right, Miorine?

^ and Tilty is well versed in using her magic to bound people up. That would go down very well with Ilia. I could see a bondage blood sucking 3p session possible.

^^^ The premise of their cafe is basically roleplaying yuri fantasies to entertain the guests, but then real yuri started growing behind the counter. The casts' personalities have problems and lots of drama arose from there, though. Takes quite some effort to acclimate to the vibe, but once you do it's easier to read, kind of like WataMote.

^neither is it what they mean with "hand warmers", but well, whatever works works.

I don't understand why people make this kind of story with heavy subject and especially when it involves children. I can understand if it's about child abuse and when it's only use to make feel more empathy with the character going through that. But here it feels like the author is going going to only give use torture porn with children... They have to stop doing that

First and foremost, it's fictional. No real life person of any age was harmed, so the author can do anything and everything. Child abuse as backstory to invoke empathy is ok, but it's not the only possible usage, the author is crafting a story, if they finds a new way to use an element that fits the story, then it goes into the story, that's normal. Moreover there are technical aspects to it: Heavy subjects would be even more heavy when they are inflicted on the weak and naive/innocent characters like children, and there are plot lines that only work if the characters are children...

I believe the readership/audience has the freedom to choose whether to consume a work, while the authors have the total freedom to create whatever story they could think of and could express into a presentable form. If one reader finds a story to be distasteful, then they should drop it and read other stories. It's not like the existence of a weird story would delete the existence or limit the growth of other "good" stories, it's no longer the age where books must be copied by handwritting and only a limited number of people knows how to write. The abundance of and the ease of access to information and works (fiction or otherwise) nowadays are unprecedented in human history, the choices are practically limitless. It makes no sense trying to impose what sort of story an author should or should not create.

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valley_of_Hinnom_(Gehenna))

The Hebrew Bible describes Gehenna as the place where King Ahaz of Judah sacrificed his children, though

Debate remains as to whether the phrase "cause his children to pass through the fire" referred to a religious ceremony in which the Moloch priest would walk the child between two lanes of fire, or to literal child sacrifice wherein the child is thrown into the fire.

In certain usage, the Christian Bible refers to it as a place where both soul and body could be destroyed in unquenchable fire.

Yikes.

Seems like it's shaping up to be the next Happy Sugar Life, less age gap but even more fked up this time.
