I'd say the focus of this story is the curse and how the curse's story changes over time, the characters don't matter.

Yeah, but if the characters don't matter, then what makes it sad? You might as well take a baseball bat to a mannequin.

Wasn't there suppose to be two immortal chics? And, what's the deal with the skull?

When the first girl woke the other, that skull was her friend that they gained "eternity" with. Then however many years later the skull you see is of that girl. They have pretty much swapped roles. Now these new people who have just found her will probably be the next to sleep there for a couple hundred years and keep they cycle going.

Seeing a lot of comments on a lot of things recently of "crappy story" or "cliche" and so forth, when did the comments start becoming so high and mighty. just enjoy the yuri, jesus.

Any time a story is a bit sad or shows characters in a darker or more realistic light you will see those sorts of generic nebulous complaints. It's the whole "that story made me feel bad so it must be bad" mentality.

In this particular case this isn't an amazing manga in my opinion, but due to its story being an unhappy one it will get way more flack than it deserves.

And I gotta disagree here, I don't dislike this because it's dark or sad, but because it's the worst kind of dark and sad. It's not bothering to even give these characters names, let alone interests or opinions or personalities. I can't feel sorry for this tragic love if it was only based on a single quick line if exposition, and ended with only a single, beautiful tear. I get it's a one shot, but it couldn't be less interested in making you care about the people it's presenting.

"I love you, girl I met 14 seconds ago!"
14 seconds later
"Oh no, she is gone, how poignant our love was"

In all seriousness, I think the reason this doesn't work is that it seems to throw two girls together, they fall deeply in love instantly, fall asleep without a single additional line, and then have one girl immediately forget that girl to fall deeply in love with the next girl the instant she wakes up. And then she'll act all "alas, for time gone by and yet these feelings...!" when, for her, less than a minute of actual conscious time has passed. You JUST went to sleep, why are you suddenly all ephemeral and nostalgic?

Hell, warn the poor girl not to crawl into the coffin with you! Get out of that coffin! Get some ice cream with her or something! You know what happens when you both go to sleep, there's nothing stopping you from breaking this cycle except your weirdly sudden personality shift into Galadriel, somber mourner of fates too tragic to explain or prevent

Attaching a 'can't burn' sticker to Chiru is pretty messed up, considering Senri's circumstances.

Is this just a late translation, or are we going for season 2?

Could you even have real yuri development in a moe slice of life type show successfully? Would it have to be a spin-off? What would that even look like?

Centaur's Worries gives us an idea. Although the main cast is just bait, there's a confirmed yuri sidecouple. Kanamemo also comes to mind, although that's not so much 'developed' as 'present at the outset'. Really it comes down to where you draw the line as to what constitutes slice of life; you could say Bloom Into You or Kobayashi's Dragon Maid qualify.

I would not expect Reimu to welcome proper noun Poverty into her home.

Gaaaaah, I just want the confession already, this misunderstanding is suffering

I'm quasi guessing, but it seems like Ayaka here loved Touka, Touka loved Chitose, and when Touka died Ayaka got close to Chitose while pretending to be Touka out of misplaced affection or a desire to keep that aspect of Touka alive. Lot of ways they could take this, so that's nice. Although a little, ah, contrived? Especially the 'knocking Chitose down the stairs' bit.

Note that I don't think Ayaka did this on purpose, she just looks like Touka enough that Chitose got it wrong, and Ayaka didn't want to break that illusion. She's just in way over her head on this lie, but it's gone too far to back out now.

Now all we need is Utsuho and it'd be a murder.

Yohane's Satori/Vampire double ship is second only to Millet Soup's Patchouli/Alice - Koakuma/Shanghai.

I just want more of this in my life, but there's so little out there.

I've seen a few episodes, by which I mean maybe five? My biggest takeaway was "why are there always murders and theft wherever Conan goes?" Like, they visit a ski resort - someone is killed in a locked room. They go on a boat - someone drowns in a locked room. They take a train - someone is killed in a locked car.

I think Conan is the actual murderer guys

Because they aren't all that interesting compared to the more established characters, and Ten Desires usually doesn't mesh well with characters outside it's own game, with the exception of Miko's interactions with Hijiri.

Well, that or we just don't see them translated.

I'll admit, it's hard to follow what happened, we have almost nothing to go on. Well drawn, though.

...

Itou hachi also drew loli bowsette, go look it up!

Can't find, please help.

Nue: "Don't be ridiculous! I'm a nue. I've got these... these zigzag... wings. Like. Like a... snake. With wings."

"OH GOD WHAT AM I"

Well that's dark.

"It was fun, despite the choking." - Hana Ichinose.

Vampires feeding on each other and thus not needing blood from another source feels like cheating the system.

Right? Suspension of disbelief goes so far, but breaking conservation of energy is pretty jarring. Two vampires are a perpetual motion machine.

It's only one step away from them just biting themselves whenever they're peckish and getting by that way.

This purehearted yaoi is giving the yuri series a run for their money.

okay hi 40+ chapter dump this was sudden

Mio's panties making a surprise appearance.

I'm wondering if I'm the only one bothered by how casually Shiro just tells Nanako to do stuff for her. Like, c'mon, just calling your neighbor to be your on-demand maid whenever you're not motivated is pretty scummy.

Kogasa is a popular ship with any character, it seems. Seems odd, but it feels like she's become the breakout character of UFO, even Hijiri has a hard time keeping up.

I could have sworn I've seen this before...
