This is a fun one, a lot of chaotic gay energy from the peanut gallery this time

who know’s what the future holds for us?

Marriage. It’s marriage.

The 2020’s so far have been the decade for lesbian sex worker manga. I don’t know what the hell is happening to cause this, but we have had sooooooo many new series and one shots centered on sex work in the last year and a half.

This is starting to get really niche, I don’t think I ever could have predicted that this manga would be about photoshopping sex workers profile pictures to look more attractive…

One thing that did irk me is how she just accepted the job without asking about the pay, benefits, or hours, which were all things she was stressing about before. Hopefully they don’t just forget about that lmao. First chapter didn’t really grab me but I’m definitely willing to give the series a shot based on the premise alone.

They were really laying it on thick this chapter with the bubbly lovey dovey panels, although the creepy guy at the end of the chapter put a big damper on that…

The human woman is very attractive

I love a good tree spirit yuri. For all the complaining, in real life bananas falling to the ground would probably help enrich the soil near the other tree and ultimately benefit it.

I would die for more thai ghost stories turned into yuri tbh, this was really funny and well made

I hate how well this fits

I’m very curious about Kiku’s motivations here

Once a sucker for looks always a sucker for looks

She picked up "the guy" on impulse, seeing "him" with a cat. She probably wanted to go to the bar, but she changed her mind, seeing "the sign" (if guy was gentle with a cat, and cat liked his touch, she simply knew he will be greater choice than someone from the bar). It was not an "accidental" pick up, even if it seems to be. Later, in hotel, she was telling it...

I also read this as her taking Iwana Ai to a bar in the hotel lobby, and then they just did a small time skip to them going to the room afterwords. I figured they still chatted for a little bit but maybe not

Whoa, now THAT was a chapter. It’s kinda refreshing that Shima was so upfront about her sexuality, even if she was being really self degrading about it. Now Ise won’t have to think “but we’re both girlssssss” when she realizes her own latent feelings.

So anyone wanna start taking bets on how many more chapters until we get one of them pining for the other in an explicit overt romantic way? My guess is within the next 5 chapters.

Ah, the ol classic “robot shark malfunctions and goes rogue at the school culture festival” trope

Hikari and Reiko bonding over trying to help their dumbass friend not get scolded in class/being disappointed with said friend

Oh boy the classic “replicate a traumatic scene your ex put your partner through on accident”

Holy shit I am so so ready for this to absolutely emotionally destroy me.

I hope that the way this story goes is the granddaughter slowly goes through grandma’s books and discovers whatever history Itou and Mitsu have together, and her thoughts and perspectives mixed in with the main narrative of Itou retelling her story. What would be even cooler is if granddaughter’s “friend” she was moving in with was a girlfriend and snippets of their lives together in modern Japan raising children were juxtaposed against grandma’s story. (And it would be nice to have some lighter happy domestic interludes).

I just can’t get enough of queer historical dramas, and stories focusing on older queer people. It’s so refreshing to have a protagonist who isn’t a moe high schooler or a 25 year old office worker.

I’m so excited for the potential of this series.

Anime when?

The series did come in 5th place in a recent ranking for ‘top manga series we want to see animated’ in japan

Only thing I can relate to here is being awake at 3:54 am because of unfinished work

Also I definitely got the feeling reading canon that Yuu and Sayaka were pretty compatible. They're really amicable for two people at odds in a love triangle, at least. Maybe I just have an active imagination.

I don’t think you’re imagining things, they do have a pretty good dynamic, I think precisely because neither of them has any reason to put up pretenses around the other. They can argue and have banter and be honest with each other in a way neither of them could do with Touko or their other friends.

I think it’s pretty telling in the third novel that the first person Sayaka brings Haru to meet is Yuu, and even Haru asked if they had history together lol.

Damn it I said 13 too, I’m a dumb dumb just like Ayaka.

Festival fun times aside ooooooooof I can’t believe she was interrupted with the boyfriend news while confessing ouch that’s gotta hurt

well that was quick

Oh god why did she lie about her age, well I get it but this is gonna turn into a legal nightmare on Tanaka’s end. And now I feel a lot less comfortable shipping them too

So was she protecting the MC or not? I'm still not sure if the "childhood friend" is evil or not....seems so far that the sea girl just outed her for no good reason.

Well the point of “outing her for no good reason” is because Shiori wants to alienate her from her friend who would otherwise have stood in the way of Shiori preparing Hinako to be eaten. If Miko is protecting Hinako then that’s just as much of a problem for our mermaid girl as if Miko was trying to eat her. Remember that Shiori is really really not doing this out of the kindness of her heart, and if anything she’s closer to the main antagonist.

It would be nice if Miko was protecting her, they end up as a couple, and fight off Shiori in my opinion.

Please feel free to chop off all her hair we don’t mind at alllllllll

What better way to get revenge against the crown prince than to steal his fiancee and then murder him?
