To portray such a deeply messed-up relationship with so little... I like this.

But isn't Remilia physically (and perhaps mentally) younger than Sakuya? I smell hypocrisy!

The little details in this are really nice so far, I really like the stylized contents page and her phone being broken as a detail. Also Yoru's excuse for not responding is immediately sus, my headcanon right now is she's the type who gets off on worrying her partner and so she will actively neglect her to get a rise.

I agree with the conclusion but not the antecedent.

As they aren't living together or anything, a mere 28 hours of silence is perfectly acceptable and must not mean you're avoiding your partner. But really, a cold? From my experience, bed-ridden people use their phone more, not less.

Gosh, I love the look in Takina's eyes here.

Why is this titled "LOL LOL"? I did not expect a such an open-hearted couple thing.

(Also, I can't tell why, but I like Chisato's hair here more than usually.)

Y'all keep acting like Blood Candy wasn't a beloved soviet snack?

I really hope these are normal ones though. Nothing says vampires can't have normal candy.

Shouldn't this post be a follow-up to this one?

Instant favourite. I expected this to turn towards the the aquarium date trope though. The interactions are whimsical but impactful, especially with the whale. Also a cute animal sidekick, reminds me of a certain other mermaid.

The parents are also very relatable.

Thank goodness finally a character who hates coffee. Digressions about that stuff are surprisingly common in yuri and I could never relate to any motives those may or may not hide.

Tonic immobility is a reflex that causes a temporary state of inactivity in animals. This trance-like state can (...) be induced in sharks and rays by stimulating the tiny sensory pores located on their snout.

Just found these lil' buggers: https://dynasty-scans.com/forum/posts?user_id=95606 and https://dynasty-scans.com/forum/posts?user_id=93141 (probably sockpuppets of the same spammer.)

Besides being active in the same thread, they both are promoting casino games (and I don't mean Gacha), in one case as a faux quote.

Love Live! Rainfall!!

I like the detail that the humans all look like rabbit bear things while the "monsters" look like humans. I wonder how the monster actually look

Saya no Uta, but yuri? Sign me up.

^ This is a reference to Yuri made me Human, an interview with the author of Otherside Picnic. It became a bit of a meme.

I wasn't really a proponent of this ship, but the recent batches considerably changed that.

Wait, they put girls on the bench? How is this yuri then?

Best Beret Buddies

So either Ruantao was plundering Tantai Lan's smut stash for these scrolls, or Yuis at least suspecting something about the Emperor's "condition".

Also, I am going to use the Empress Dowager yelling at Qi and Yu as a meme template and nobody can stop me.

hiding your face to eschew temptations

I believe it's too late for that now. The temptation already got to her.

clears throat Your Waifu is trash.

I have a hard time thinking about this story outside of the context of the book it released in.

Knowing this was released together with Chandelier (which also deals with loss from a different angle) by the same author certainly makes for a contrast. Even though I'm unsure whether it's positive or negative.

Just voicing my disappointment that this isn't Espionage, albeit the title. Also the Prologue probably belongs into a church window somewhere.

So I went back to the original and I don't know ... somehow this one feels more sanitized? I prefered the "grittier" (for lack of a better word) art style to this. Overall I somehow got me the feeling of watching the hollywood version of a biography versus actually reading the biography.

@meadows: I noticed that the detail of other Rike getting murdered is a lot less subtle here (partly due to the text fade); is this due to a quirk of word order in the translation or reflective of intetional changes?

Cozy

If Nozomi was really born from Mirai, then from the moment she went back to the past, Mirai was already older than Kako, right? Normally, people are 18 years old to give birth, now Nozomi looks 3 years old, so Mirai is at least 21 years old, Kako is a first year high school student, she is 16 years old. So can we add an age gap to this manga?

I'm not sure if a 3 y/o shouldn't have slowly transitioned off of liquid food, but how do we even know that Mirai really gave birth (physically, I mean)? Perhaps science babies come from a bio-3D printer, or some other wacky shenenigans? Not much more of a stretch than assuming that teenage pregnancies do not exist.
