There are three things here. Four if you count how weird I find it when guys say "FEMALES" instead of something that someone better adjusted would say, like "women" or something.

I second this. Please just say women. FEMALES makes me feel like you're a Ferengi checkin' me out. No one wants that. Unless you're Quark, then maybe

Anyway, as someone is actually polyamorous, I'm interested in how this goes.

If I were to write a polyam story I prolly would do my damndest to not really... conflate cheating and polyamory in any way, because god knows people do that enough. People are prolly doing that earlier in this darn comments section, I dunno I haven't read past this page. I mean, it's a good conversation to have. There's a lot of people who cheat and claim to be polyam in order to try and weasel out of it, which is NOT polyam, and conversations on how shitty that is is good, but most works kinda stop at explaining how that's bad for polyam people lol. Though I'm glad that's not how this is going, the couples here seem good.

.....I am actually VERY nervous about how the bride planner's fiance is gonna turn out in all this though. I don't really expect him to take his wife potentially joining this polycule very well.

100% all of this

Okay with this chapter 3 all my initial apprehension about FL2's shiftiness has evaporated as of this moment. I'm totally on board with this cute triad they got going on.
I'm sure it's only gonna get messier from here on out but that's a strong start~

Man i just wanna give Satsuki a hug

I want satsuki to give me a hug

I want Akira to give Satsuki a kiss

Heck, if we go that far, we might as well go wild and make them hold hands like the degenerates we are

At least Iris won't be completely alone, she'll have Lamia bby to look after

Argh my heart TwT It's so sad but also wholesome and aaaaaa there are too many feels rn

the jury is still out, i don't trust female lead 2 yet if she is indeed trustworthy, we have the works of a p neat polycule on our hands, am excite :D

If this series brings us the best depiction of poly on the site and it's Het I'm gonna scream.

Taken the words right out of my mouth

Oh fuck, ugh that hurt to read, you literally watch the life drain from her body

"Literally" is right. Her hair changed color from the stress. It's now canon (in my eye, at least) she doesn't bleach-dye her hair, but it's stress bleached to have no color.

Seems plausible, definitely seen the "Character experienced smth so traumatic, it turned their hair white" trope before. Like in Tokyo Ghoul

just watched episode 11 and oh my lord, those visuals are gorgeous. Idk which chapter that part is from but hoh-lee heck

If you are referring to the piano rehearsal scene with Erika’s imagination of Akebi dancing it’s chapter 18. The volleyball practice is next in chapter 19.

Thanks! yee i meant the rehearsal. :D

First time seeing demisexual/romantic representation in yuri or even manga, kinda shocked (in a good way) bc it's even a queer demi person <3. Some manga recommendations regarding that topic?

My personal favorite is Bloom into You actually. Yuu is perfect demi rep and I felt very seen~

Nah, Girl, you are neither aromantic nor asexual. What you are has a name, and it's called a late bloomer.

Actually, this is exactly why you shouldn't try to diagnose yourself, but rather let a doctor/specialist do it. Because be it medicine or psychology, most people will get it wrong. Also asexual people are rare. Most people have some kind of sex drive, sometimes weak, sometimes suppressed, but nothing at all is just very rare. Thinking that you are asexual, without even trying to date is... well you're likely mistaken.

First of all, asexuality is a spectrum, you don't have to be completely devoid of sexual attraction to be on it. Being demi or fluctuating counts too.

Second, I don't appreciate how you pathologize being ace here. You don't need to be "diagnosed" with being ace, it's not a disorder. Or would you say the same about being gay? No? Bc that would be fucked up, right? Well, it's the same with being ace.

Do my eyes deceive me? Demi rep? Split Attraction model? I might have to remedy my initial apprehension, this is going better than i thought. I like!

who the hell indeed??

Yeah you are supposed to sympathize with them and I personally think it works pretty well.
Once you get over your initial "Ew Incest, icky." reaction, you see that Lene and Lambert are two adults (Lene is 18 iirc, and Lambert is her older brother, correct me if i'm wrong) who are in a mutually loving relationship that they'd be at best shunned and at worst prosecuted for.

And then once they grasp at a straw of hope they're shown, desperate as they are, they're not only forced into a serious crime, they're blackmailed with each other's lives for it.
Regardless of whether one thinks that incest as a concept is wrong, the circumstances of the characters in this specific instance are quite tragic and deserving/evocative of sympathy, imo.

Koharu: "Koharu and I got married"

That does not seem right. Does Koharu refer to herself by name a lot? Was the Japanese something like 'Koharu to [married]' ?

That's Mio saying that line

What really tanks the credibility of Mom's denial for me is that she never outright says "I don't like women." It's always "It's not what it looks like" or "See this is normal between female friends actually" and the like.

Even if they're really just ships with no substance, Mom totally swings that way, bet.

Hm hmm hmmmmm, that's a lot to take in and even more ways it could go from here. Color me intrigued

There's so much gay in this chapter, my skin is clear, my crops are watered. Delicious.

Let's fucking gooooooooooooooooooooo, heck yea!

Guess the love triangle got upgraded to a love square

Ppl always complain about how most series end with the main couple getting together (myself included) but when one does keep going afterwards then come ppl complaining that it needs to get chopped. Either way you do it, you do it wrong i guess.
Personally i'm enjoying this greatly, hope it keeps going for a while

If only there were an audible narrator who could answer yuri-protagonists’ anguished questions about why they’re suddenly feeling the way they do about a classmate: “Because you’re a lesbian!”

Gay shit: *happens*
MC: *confused*
Somewhere from the Off:

If an artist wants their work here, or is otherwise happy to share it with us, it's pretty likely to be posted when relevant. There's a tag for it, too. I'm not much involved on the non-translated side of the site, but I know for a time Miera Hiranishi found it useful to have access to a different, larger audience than she had access to on her own.

More personally I'd say it has value for people like me, who don't use Twitter in that way.

Fair enough, didn't think of that~

This feels like an odd one to upload here, it's neither translated nor restricted to view, it's all on the author's twitter. What's the point of reposting it here (potentially taking away from the OG post's number aside)?
