This is one of those anime I feel so conflicted about. I know some people find it hilarious and that's fine, for me though a lot of comedy is just so incredibly mean spirited. Spoiler talk, There's a background pairing that are quickly murdered by the main duo, and you get an extra bit where you learn how they wanted a happy life (and I think marriage?) together after an episode. There is a lesbian couple in the series...but it's hard to tell if they're going to survive long, and I don't know how sincere the series is about the relationship. Which brings me to the main duo that this art depicts, they often have an uneven and mean spirited dynamic between them, and I genuinely can't tell if the series is only playing up the potential "Yuri" between them as a joke. There's some entertaining things about the show overall and cute designs, but again I'm very conflicted.

The author has said this is a yuri series and the other couple is part of the main cast. I don't see them going anywhere. It does have a lot of dark humor though, but that's the main style of it. It's primarily a comedy with romance scattered and slowly building as we go along. Kind of like Grand Blue (not a yuri series). Wild comedy first, potential romance second. Some of the jokes are mean though but every character is an asshole (except for Yuri, no coincidence there).

God, the author really has succeeded in making Yuni just the absolute worst. Hmmm, my lover is clearly distraught, and is shaking... guess I'll just leave her with this woman she clearly doesn't want to be around ¯_(ツ)_/¯.

Also, is that Jesus imagery for Fuuko here https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/my_girlfriends_not_here_today_ch31#15 ? Wild.

Yuni is an asshole that sees Fuuko as her savior. I think she was overwhelmed by the idea that someone like Fuuko could be in a position like that. Most of the imagery we see of Fuuko from Yuni's mind is of a beautiful woman that feels almost like an angel. Distorting that idea of Fuuko with how she looked in that moment probably caused Yuni to bail.

As a selfish and self centered person she seeks comfort rather than providing any comfort herself. On top of that she acts very distant when a person breaks the perception she has of them. Yuni felt like Nanase was pushing her away so she cheated. Now that Nanase is trying to be a better gf Yuni's views of her just being a gf that doesn't care about her is ruined, which leads to her growing distant from Nanase. I feel like the same thing happened here. Her belief of what Fuuko should act like is different from how she was acting here, which lead to Yuni pushing her away.

Her being self centered was also showcased. One of the main things that pushed her and Nanase apart was the idea that Nanase spends her time with others. That they get to see sides of her that Yuni doesn't. I think with this new woman it might be the same case. Yuni at the end might be missed that it's someone else that can make Fuuko break down so easily. That it's someone else that was her first partner. It takes away from Yuni's idea of Fuuko being her savior, and in Yuni's mind makes her just another sex partner. Even worse a sex partner that isn't able to see sides of Fuuko that the new woman was able to see. Similar to how she views Nanase and how she interacts with her teammates.

I think that's exactly it. She saw a side of Fuuko she didn't think was possible and it shook her. The strong dominating Fuuko was now groveling at the feet of another woman. The author made sure to focus on how Fuuko gingerly grabbed her jacket and meekly asked her to stop because that was what Yuni was noticing the most. I don't think Yuni fully understood the situation or believed Fuuko (considering their background).

She seemed so taken back by Fuuko's "out of character" behavior that nothing else registered before she was too overwhelmed or embarrassed to stay. What'll determine their future is how she reacts once she rationalizes and accepts this new information and also how Fuuko handles this woman (although the imagery doesn't make it seem like Fuuko can save herself). I'm interested in Nanase's role here too.

Good news. At the end of volume 8 she said her editor informed her things are going well enough to end the series as originally planned with volume 9.

In the latest raws she says she’s overflowing the end of the story into a 4 chapter volume 10 now. Instead of ending at volume 9. All due to current support levels and how the ending is working out.

Yeah another Chinese yuri series did that recently--had a final "season" that was just 5-7 extra chapters to help finish off what they intended to tell. That series needed those chapters, this one could work without them based on what's been happening but I will not complain!

Another banger chapter--this time with a lot of great lore. Also looks like Naori will make some big decisions soon.

"Boys Gilding the Lily Shall Die!?" got here. People can get very hostile very quickly, even for otherwise very good and very popular yuri series. Give it and the author a little bit of grace.

that's funny you mention that series cuz i remember that someone said this series had over 100 chapters and the two female leads still hasn't progressed romantically.

They'd be wrong and that series has a lot of couples but that's the kind of thing people would say, which is why I mentioned it. A very popular and long running yuri series got a similar reception to this one with very few chapters TLd and for similarish reasons (which is partly why the TL said they dropped it). At least that one has an ongoing official release.

I also don't think there have been weird vibes either besides that in this series she's apparently supposed to be a problem solver and is running into various problems to solve.

Did you miss that the "problem solver" role was foisted on her because she's routinely slut shamed at her workplace? Or the part where a bunch of students cornered her and accused her of all sorts of shit because someone spread rumors about her and that male teacher?

This manga seems to be about an ostensibly queer woman forced to manage the relationships of straight people at her workplace, while getting nothing but disrespect and humiliation in return. That is a pretty fucked up situation, and while it would be a premise brimming with potential on paper, this manga does not seem to treat it with any weight.

In other words, this manga depicts a grossly misogynistic and hostile workplace, but with the tone of a slice-of-life series. You really don't think that's weird?

It’s been 3 chapters. That's a lot to say so early into a series and I don't really agree. I'd hope this series doesn't get the same odd treatment "Boys Gilding the Lily Shall Die!?" got here. People can get very hostile very quickly, even for otherwise very good and very popular yuri series. Give it and the author a little bit of grace.

Personally I think the tone of the series is weirdly uncomfortable and off putting at the moment [...]

Good, that means it's working as intended. (in my view)

I invite any of you guys to explain what the reader is intended to take away from all the extremely banal straggotry the main character keeps enduring, with literally no narrative pushback so far, beyond "lol that's crazy" or "hear me out guys".

I think it'll be easier to let the chapters come out and speak for themselves. Beyond what's already been said about the authors words, there's not much else. The authors Twitter does not hide the yuri focus at all but other characters will have their own relationships and those will not all be yuri.

That image is also not the only one used for the series and isn't the volume cover. The other major images and sketches are between our main couple and the volume 1 cover is of them as well (with Kaede holding the back of Nami's head, going for a kiss).

I also don't think there have been weird vibes either besides that in this series she's apparently supposed to be a problem solver and is running into various problems to solve.

No, but you see, only men are allowed to wear blue shirts with cuffs and have short, unpainted nails

Our MC's nails are also unpainted and short, and the shirt color doesn't matter. It's not about gender stereotypes, the hand is somewhat larger and given the size of our cast members so far it's entirely possible it belongs to one of the men. Possibly the guy that's "joking" around with her. Maybe the concern is completely wrong and that is a woman's hand. I don't think the concern is unfounded because the direction of the series is confusing right now. Some people are convinced that it is and will remain lesbian focused, others are concerned it will steer away from that and focus more on a male love interest angle in the future. Presently with the 3 chapters that are translated on Dynasty we don't know where the series will go, so we'll just have to see what happens.

The author has talked about the series though and we've posted that a few times, so I don't see the worry still.

Anime adaptation has been announced. Wild

Heck yeah!

"Asumi chan" has to be a guarantee by this point, right? They're all getting adapted now after "Gushing over Magical Girls," and Tenten Kakumei and others have had success.

After this anything feels possible at this point. Here's to hoping~

I still think the best untapped potential is in "Mucielago." The action, sex, unique characters, battle arcs, etc. If a good studio picked it up, I feel like that would do very well and would interest yuri fans (obviously) but also a wider audience. Plus there's so much material to cover. Doesn't seem like it's in the cards though.

Oh? This is still going?

Yeah it has an irregular schedule but it's still releasing.

So that everything is not critical. I have to say that this chapter in general I liked. I liked the interaction of Matsuri and Sayaka, I liked to see Himeko and I liked Mei's words But as I always say the words are demonstrated with facts . And if I have to stay with my favorite scene, I stay with Matsuri praising Himeko's talent, even Himeko herself was surprised at Matsuri's words hahahaha. In general a chapter Nice, if there is something to criticize is that I would like to see the conversation Matsuri had with those two girls.

That short conversation would have been nice to see, yeah.

It's a series about romance and a teacher asked to help people. So it'll have a bunch of different romances of all types, as well as a lot of problem solving. The main couple is gay, as you can see from the first 2 chapters and that's part of the author's focus (and they aren't the only ones). I get wanting only one thing but it's not abnormal or weird to have a variety of relationship types in a series about relationships, both platonic and romantic.

got it. thank you for the warning, sir. I'll put it in the "not yuri" list and just forget it. also glad someone pointed out the cover image. it's clearly a man pushing her down and she's blushing.

This is still a yuri series. But you're free to not read it.

I appreciate how Arata serves as a lens for Sabu to depict the impact of Yuzu and Mei's relationship, highlighting their personalities and unique style of love through their influence on him. It also gives us insight into their strength as a couple, which gets tied to this school project. The merger feels like that one final test for them both literally and figuratively, so it makes sense that it leads into their marriage timeline-wise. Loved that last page.

I'm still unsure of whether he understands that they're dating or not. That hasn't been clarified right? He says some stuff that leads both ways. I wouldn't be surprised if Mei told him though (maybe even off screen during this chapter?).

It didn't take long for Kaidou to go from "There's no way I could love a girl!" to "I love my big tiddy gf :D"

Peak character development.

(Happily) Blinded by the boobs.

wtf is this series about? too much hetero going on. has anyone read up ahead? is this ACTUALLY yuri with romance between two women? is it gonna end in a het ending? or is it one of those let's showcase a lot of hetero stories and show as little yuri as possible until the very last panel?

It's a series about romance and a teacher asked to help people. So it'll have a bunch of different romances of all types, as well as a lot of problem solving.

I'm not sure whether the mods or uploaders handle the tags but I'd say to add a universal "Het" tag to the work to quell debate.

I'm not confident this is yuri long-term, on their pixiv it's tagged as a Renai manga. Don't know where everyone else is getting their information.

The first chapter release for the series has all the tags. The Pixiv link above takes us directly there (from Zesc's link). If you click to "continue reading" you'll also see the post's description which has a blurb that discusses it as a series about love, in which you will see mature/adult yuri and various relationships involving teachers and students.

There's also 5 chapters out now that don't change my mind on the tags--they do the opposite. I don't think we need any change of tags.

This is an AI Translation of her tweet for the series:

Thank you for reading "School Romance"! Not only yuri, but also various love stories between men and women. Maybe we'll get to see more of Kaede and Nami getting cozy with each other...? She'll do her best to help her students, so please keep an eye on her. The first four episodes are now available on Piccoma and U-NEXT!

In other news: these kids and teachers suck.

The serie should focus on love, romance and drama. Not on the school, work, Arata and other background characters.

There's no "should" really. It's the authors story and if the vibe of Mei and Yuzu isn't your level of "loving," or you don't like that the school is an important part of the story, that's fine but that's the story and has been since near the beginning of even the original series. It's fine to checkout if you're not digging it--the series is what it is by now. I understand some dislike but the repeated dislike-chain that forms every new chapter (and every in-between) is a bit old. Maybe I should take my own advice though.

Hold your horses Kaidou-san. I'll overlook the fact that you kissed and touched Yarai-san boobs, but now that you're about to go on a date, shouldn't you have an official break-up with Shouya-kun?

Feels like they're already broken up, based on that discussion. She doesn't even call him her BF anymore and the friends were setting up a meeting to get them back together. Seems like he got the (silent) boot after their last issue. Would he even be upset? They didn't seem too close to start with, so I wonder if they'd even bother. Plus as long as wing woman Yui is onboard I don't think MC cares as much about the others.

I don't think 2 years should count as an "age gap" :/

Agreed. The term is starting to lose its distinction. I guess it works for this story since the character acts like it's a big deal but these two are legal adults and 2 years is nothing.

We finally got to this chapter after we had those 4 pages for years. This was fun. Can't wait to see their second chapter, although I'm still most excited for our first pairs second showing.

last edited at May 11, 2025 6:33AM

This series is so fun.

And the other one is about i think a nerdy girl having her "idol" or something along those lines confessing to her.

Possibly How My Favorite Beautiful Girl Told Me She Loved Me?

Yes! Thats it, thank you

Just a heads up that it's not completed on this site, but it does continue. It's complete with about 9 main chapters (along with some promotional Twitter releases) and an extra (spicy) chapter.

... reminds me of that one doujin where a girl takes a vacation and ends up dating a girl who doesn't speak the same language as her.

Are you thinking of Will These Words Reach You by C2=Galore? Really liked that one and the two sequels.

Probably that, but it's funny because Mira's series "The Sea, You, and the Sun" could also kind of fit that description, even though those are two different vibes. Both good.

At least our girl is self aware that she was being rude and she’s fallen for her

Now, what’re you gonna do about it? Instantly break up with your boyfriend and go to her?

That'll be a major climax since she's too chicken for that at the moment. I'm thinking maybe it's about time for her "friends" to become more prominent and make her second-guess herself because of peer pressure. This is so much of a comedy, though, that anything can happen. It's been fun.
