That feel when you've read every garbage book in your jail and you recommend a mediocre fantasy book to someone but you forgot the first chapter is straight up smut

This is a real mood.

Anyway, this is a very cute oneshot. The premise of someone not knowing what they’re getting into until they’re completely turned on is also absolute moe.

Kiara’s the type of bottom that goes out and actively provokes her boo into destroying her, and I’ll hear no arguments to the contrary.

She is a phoenix, after all. She said it on stream, getting blown up is kinda part of the game.

Delightful. I wish we had more opportunities to tease Edelgard in the game. I feel like she needs it. And it’s hella cute.

“Chuuuuu”

Praise the boobs.

Amazing chest ahead, therefore Try grabbing with both hands

It’s got this exciting sense of realism, doesn’t it?

Not really

It’s fine if you don’t like something, but does this contribute to the discussion?

Well, I’ll use this as a chance to refine my thinking anyway. Okay, realism is perhaps not the right word. The stuff that happens here resonates on an emotional level (maybe not with everybody) but yes, it certainly isn’t trying for verisimilitude; it’s presenting a fictionalized version of these emotions.

What I mean by “exciting sense of realism,” is how it evokes that wobbly feeling when you get close to someone you are crushing on; the “oh shit, wait, something could actually happen here?” feeling, or the roiling and breaking of sexual and romantic tension. It’s the feeling of when you’re out with a girl you get along well with, and think is kind of cute but is unavailable, and while you’re sitting on a bench she puts her hand on yours and leans in and you sort of jump, and you think “is this happening?? Is this allowed?”

I think a lot of it is about the way this new wave of works plays with genre. We are used to—or at least I am—manga that keep romantic subplots in motionless gay baby jail forever, that don’t have the guts or the permission to resolve or progress things. We’re used to those unsatisfying boundaries, so when a work calls them to mind—and then transgresses them—it’s like that feeling of “girls? Real girls? And they kiss me??” Which is inherently satisfying, especially to all us internet-going queer ladies who are too used to the taste of disappointment.

This went from, “shoujo manga tropes in a slice of life setting,” to “hyper-repressed lesbians with serious issues are soft and panicky together and some background fuckery is afoot” real fast.

Man, the emotions are so vivid, and there’s so much more to the side characters than one would initially think. I always love it when authors are like, “haha, unsatisfying anime trope” and then “we’re going fucking deep now kiddos” all of a sudden, and break out of the mold with something original and informed by life.

I have to say, the moment when nervous Mikoto gets into that bed, and is swamped by the feelings she doesn’t understand and gets all blinky-eyed and lovestruck and puddl-y, and she’s like, “I might have stopped seeing Nekozaki as a friend. And I want to go deeper in,” I was like, “oh fuck, it’s going down.” Most satisfying to thing to my gay hindbrain that I’ve seen like all year. Very nice, very nice.

I’m really loving the trend lately of yuri that establishes its dynamic and what’s allowed, much the way real life has its sort of rules of social conduct, and then pushes through and under that and lets things happen. It’s like, “oh, you thought we were keeping this PG/light/plausibly deniable platonic? Nah, the publishers weren’t telling us to do that, it was an artistic choice to set you up for this shit right here.” It’s got this exciting sense of realism, doesn’t it?

Saber of Arknights

Yo there’s yuri RPGs? God has been holding out on me.

Oh god this was so fucking sweet and cute. The silent shots of landlady just wandering, and then the “Don’t go...” brought tears to my eyes. The only thing I yet need in this life is for that cold space in her heart to be warmed up by our MC.

This manga is so fucking soft, I can’t take it. It’s just too good. Is this allowed?

This artist’s Gudako/Melt art always has such so many complex energies to it. Gudako looking cute in that clean-cut suit, and Melt in her dress with that snake-eyed (but soft) ikemen-looking smile. It’s got that knight and princess vibe to it, but distributed between the two of them. It feels very queer. I love it.

The Great Yuri Bake-Off

this is the future leftists want

A future with cute adult lesbians? I mean I am leftist and I want that, but I'm confused what you find negative about this scenario. If you're a homophobe, what the fuck are you doing on dynasty-scans.com? Don't you have minorities you need to hate and oppress for no reason?

now that is a real leftist's reply, instantly assuming that a comment is attacking their beliefs lol

Imagine smugging about something like this in a site for gay manga

^Who needs a soul when you have Takamori?

cliché

In what way? Ignoring the irrelevant isekai mention.

Is there a single other story on the site with the same premise? Or even close?

Yes, actually. Several.

My Next Life as a Villainess and I Favour the Villainess

The first one is a harem, that will obviously end with a HET ending if you read the damn novel. It's fucking yuri bait ffs.

The second one is literally the only one that is a true yuri isekai manga/novel.

Also, since when did several mean just 2 series? List at least 5 series that is truly yuri that use this trope then that's several.

And yes, the isekai trope is overused, but it isn't common in yuri series. Stop calling things you don't like cliché people.

There’s also “Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady,” which is definitely gay. And cool.

I’m so down for this collection.

Also this premise is basically an alt path of Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady.

I'm glad she didn't forgive them. It was all a mirage. The girl she had a crush on was never real. She did well to escape that toxic "friendship". Now she can find true friendship and happiness.

Even if people realize they went over the line, it’s entitled for them to think they can do something and then not pay the consequences. It was cathartic to see that play out here—it’s not always easy because human connection is a need and sometimes your safety demands you continue to engage with people that have hurt you without them reckoning with that hurt, but there will always be a consequence.

Sometimes I forget I’m not the only person struggling or failing to connect, and that most people, especially at this age, are lonely. A lot of people who treat others like shit are going through something rough, whether they know it or not. But the consequences of that, even if you can’t leave them or set the boundaries you need the way MC does, are real. Those people won’t get a chance to connect with you, to get close and find a companion in this world or a refuge to heal. They will stay distant, and alone, and in time you will move on. Like light-haired girl, they will lose the chance to connect. Maybe that’s not the kind of justice the righteously angry part of you demands, maybe it’s not equal to what they put you through, but yes, in the end they don’t get away with it.

Waow this transcended what the strip was before, it’s so fucking cute. Aaaaah! I want a strong, cool woman to cling to me when she’s afraid too!!! The gap is just too good, is this allowed??

The way this artist does lips and eyes is so good. That jolt when she feels tongues is really nice too.

I looove extreme size gap when the ship is fond and fluffy, and I love their banter, so yeah, I fuck with this! The art and scenarios here too, it’s so... decadent. I really really really like this image.

That tongue grab...
