Soyo is going to get drained by them like a box of tomato juice >.>

Alre is about to level up her status as a father lol

That’s a good point, because when it comes to harems, when they all want the protagonist but “monogamous” is the norm, there will be fierce competition in the way, no matter what.
And it’s a problem because the relationship between the girls would be pretty stiff, since only one person can win the best girl and have her hand in marriage…plus the “harem master” will be in an extremely unbalanced position (this is mostly why I hate the harem genre in general, actually. Yuri makes it better because I can shove “gender norms” out the window and don’t think about it. I just love girls getting girls, whatevs.)

I’m not asking Mei to be as powerful and devoted as the almighty Rentaro of the 100 girlfriends (or as popular and sexy as that girl who “Won’t Sleep With You For Free”), but I do wish her to grow along her girlfriends and have them change as well during all those variety of interactions. That’s enough for those friendship points to accumulate and have them fall in love. (Too bad our protagonist just had two genuine love confessions and lost two contestants. It’s a good thing Kaoru still had that plushie which still held Mei’s scent, so she can be stronger.)

And the reason I want this author to make this a “real harem” is because it goes to show that variety is key to life and she needs all her senses to live well. All her girl friends love her different aspects first and then got to know her as herself.

But who knows? I wouldn’t put it past the author to make them available for Mei even if they’re seemingly gone. (I can excuse Maria, because in a sense, the “Sight” sense is the one that can work the furthest, probably second only to hearing (light is faster than sound), and they can still meet again at school. But Kaoru is not one I can really understand at the moment. Because it gives her a premature ending, and it also seems a bit unfair compared with the others.)

…

Ultimately I still have faith in the author. She’s got that kind of imagination and creativity rivaling Mochi Au Lait (they both have that one-of-a-kind art style, too) and I believe she has plans for the future of each characters…because NO WAY some of them just had to end it before the protagonist says so! Harem and the five-sense connections are already crazy, what’s wrong with a bit more?

Yeah I think having a true harem here is important with the concept of the senses, all the senses are important. Also I haven't given up on the series myself, and I do hope the author delivers a satisfying conclusion. We'll see where it goes!

At least we'll always have The Young Lady Wants to be the Protagonist of a Love Comedy!.

I think I missed that on and I'll check it out, thanks!

I'm not sure I get this chapter. Assuming there is anything to get in the first place.

Main thing I think is that her...friend(?) wasn't happy about her arm being touched like how Aya probably touches her girlfriend's arm when it comes to scary movies

Ugh, honestly I kinda hate this move from the author.

Personaly the reason why I love harems (where most seems to hate them) is because I'm a nerd for good character interactions. Though there was several flags already that this wasn't this type of story, I love when the characters are given the space to live and breath and be their own person outside of the MC, and I think the Karin-Riri flirting, Maria-Kaoru tension, or Minato-Kaoru bonding moments were good example of this and kinda made me hopeful for the rest of the story (it was literally in my top 5 running yuri series until now lol).

But this to me proves the author barely thought about their own characters past the "5 senses" schtick and don't plan on doing so, which is disappointing to say the least. Senpai was soo immemorable, it's like she was there and then kinda just left.

Anyway all this to say, if you genuinely don't know how to write side-characters outside of their relationship to the MC and don't intend on milking the hell out of every potential ship, personality and dialogue in your harem story, then you're making poor use of a harem imo !

Unfortunately harems in general don't actually commit to being a harem. I think this is a feeling a good amount of people have had for awhile and a growing sentiment over the years. I somewhat recently saw a Reddit post venting about this as well. I wish we had a lesbian harem series that had the same kind of energy as 100 girlfriends, which feels like someone that got fed up with harems not committing so the creator went with the most absurd idea possible. Where the series fully commits to it being a harem, and has various characters that pair off into pairs and groups to bond with each other. I wish this manga was along those lines, where the harem forms close bonds together and they're all dating the MC at the same time.

Very nice

I have a feeling this series is going to hurt a lot x_x

Impending pain aside though the main character and her journey is definitely interesting so far! Thanks for the translation!

Very cute chapter with the parents!

If I remember correctly people were saying Ollie liked this? I think lol

I feel like every holiday is an excuse to dress up and get up to some spanking for these two lol

Gasp, the sex ghost claims another victim!

Hornet said less talking more kissing

Is this the climax of the new movie?

I think the original image that this is doing a redraw of it's someone of the same sex pretending to be someone of the opposite sex, but in this version they're all girls lmao

There was a lot happening this chapter lol

A lot of "just kiss" energy lol

Girl looks hungry

I want to be sympathetic, but this just reminds me too much of my own mom and my own family. She constantly says she just wants me to be happy, but really she wants me to be happy in a way that she can accept. The amount of queerphobic, homophobic, transphobic, shit my family will say so casually and expect me to not to take it personally because they love me and want the best for me makes the entire statement null.

had an argument over thanksgiving with mine. my dad insisted that he loved me, and I would've scoffed if i wasn't in tears. how can someone deny every trait of a person and still love them? i don't doubt he loves a child of his with my deadname, but I have no idea who that child is, and I certainly haven't been them for a long time

I find what you're saying relatable even though my own experiences and identity exploration is different. A lot of people have a very specific version of a person in their head that they love, and when they get stuck on that idea of the person that love can unfortunately be harmful and suffocating.

Page 111 has an error in it. The text in the first bubble is too high.

It's intentional

^They did a collab stream on Bao's channel last year, I haven't seen it and the VOD isn't on Bao's channel anymore from the look of it, but have this animated short someone made from the stream https://youtu.be/MKV7zWxtkqc?si=yk6Pe1KygqZZtifN

What the fuck lol

^Interesting to know, thanks. Yeah there's variety and nuance to the color spectrum so I'm not surprised that while it reads grey for me, that it also reads differently for someone else. I've seen various arguments about colors online and ultimately people view things differently, so people shouldn't argue lol

^Looks grey to me, but it might be the general style and coloring that comes across as a softer shade that can read as a shade of green

^I mean it works lol

So cute
