Yeah I’m definitely in the “raise the kids with Vivi” or something similar camp

Donating the books to local libraries is really playing the long game, Julie is a real yuri professional

whoa the translator works. Is it weird that I actually want to see some proper communication between Kuzuryu and Chome? Like, I just want them to be friends or something.

Glad Akizuki helped Umika out of the mental space she was at. I think Raimon needs some talking to as well, she lashed out too much before and refused to share the responsibility with others. I’m glad Umika is able to acknowledge that her desire to go to space is wrapped up with escapism, but still take the positives she’s gotten from pursuing that goal as real.

I m only One Who like the design of the manga lol?

Nope, I loooooove the design of this manga. Everything about it. Like the way they draw the eyes, the lips, the noses, the proportions, the ways the paneling is set up, and the sparkles that shine during the ethereal dream like sequences, the way they smile at each other, the way the hair moves, the clothing, everything about this manga is totally magical

Their situation feels very real to me, I wasn’t out, or friends with any out people in high school, but even in college theres a ton of people (myself kinda included) that can only exist in a fragmented state at best, or only in certain contexts. LGBT people dealing with shitty teachers and shittier counselors seems like a pretty universal experience. I can only hope that as Makoto and Yuuko grow older they’re able to find a space to exist in comfortably. It’s not easy to get there, but those places we can exist in are out there. Right now they have each other, but hopefully one day they will have a wide support network of friends and loved ones who accept and cherish them as they are.

I think the best part about this series is how the characters grow over time. Each of these characters really feels like a teen, they’ve really captured the “I’m young and queer so I don’t really understand my own identity of the identity of the people around me”. We see this in the beginning with Tetsu’s ignorance about Mogumo, him calling his sister ‘brother’, Mei’s initial disbelief in her own womanhood, and Kotone’s deep seated homophobia towards herself and others. Throughout the story they come into conflict with each other, but they also learn from one another and grow as people and slowly find a space (both physical and mental) that feels comfortable for them. Though I feel the story ends too quickly (I wanted to see so much more of everyone), ending with "You don't have to understand everything, I don't either" is just a perfect encapsulation of the way none of this is permanent. Their identities are still developing and as they grow and mature, so too will their identities.

PS, I would love to see a sequel to this, or even an epilogue chapter or some one shots because after the latter half of the series we really deserve some fluff with all these characters. (And I definitely like Kotone x Mei)

Surprised they got together so quickly, but that means they’re probably gonna focus more on the outside issues like Suyeon’s parents and Hong Jihee. Looking forward to more!

I really don't get why this series needed the tiny bunny boss.

I literally was praising this series for how down to earth and realistic the character writing is to a friend and as soon as I did bunny boss showed up and totally ruined all my points.

Anyways, ganbare Wanko-chan, become a voice actress who can get collaborations with her girlfriend!

...wait wrong series

Damn, Jisoo’s eyes in that one page.... I love the artstyle of this series so much.

I’m kinda glad that whole thing was a dream, but for everyone taking the side of the bob cut, she did clearly say she doesn’t fall in love and didn’t want to be more than fwb, so her actions and words are contradicting each other. I don’t think anyone is really in the right here.

This is pretty funny, but wow Nika-chan has to be something of a pervert herself to get all flustered over the person she likes almost licking her recorder.

...although I do feel like some of the angst could be solved with polyamory.

Maybe it’s because I read it all in one sitting but I liked this story a lot. Kotori, Sotoka, Chika, Shiori, and Hiwa are all interesting characters that have multifaceted personalities, and we get to see each of them interacting with and learning from one another.

Seeing Kotori’s (and to a lesser extent Hiwa’s) development throughout the series as she tries to understand human emotions is really interesting direction to go. Seeing her go from being innocent and pretty much an air head to being a little more aware of her own feelings and struggling with relationships that can’t be mended and jealousy is fascinating to see.

It’s hard to say that any one character is the protagonist, they all just happen to be living in the same time and place and we see them all interact for the short window of time the manga reveals.

Wow I’m actually really into this, seems like a fun series. I hope we get more, but I understand it might take a while with all the translating of wordplay. The translation was really good!

I think that there’s definitely evidence of Maki and Hanayo having pretty clear feelings for each other, but it would be nice to have a chapter devoted to Maki/Hanayo stuff mixed in too, to lessen the “Rin’s harem” vibes

It would be both hilarious and tragic if Asumi met Mai and realized that she wanted to continue sleeping with 150 women a night.

Mai would have been the pretext for a deep bias toward promiscuity.

Maybe not so hilarious.

Why would Mai care she literally works as a lesbian sex worker and the “150 women a night” are her friends and coworkers. Even if Asumi wanted to keep hiring more escorts and Mai wanted to keep working as a sex worker that would literally be fine.

There's just nothing here to hold on to; it's about a relationship that barely exists and two people who seem to be pretty happy with it that way.

Seems to sum up what this story is all about.

Which I don't think is a bad thing? The main message is that they still care about each other, appreciate each other, think of each other, but they don't always need to be around each other or always talking. I think the relationship humble and wholesome.

I think that's a large part of what these last few chapters have been trying to get across: Their relationship doesn't have a lot of the hallmarks you'd expect from a traditional marriage, because they're not trying to fit into a mold. Karumi's personality type and work don't really fit well into a ... let's call it a Hallmark marriage, since that's what people seem to be expecting. Trying to constrain her to one probably wouldn't end well, regardless of who it's with, but Ruriko doesn't seem to place much value on those things either, so giving them to her wouldn't be a real benefit.

Instead, what we're seeing is them creating a structure that works for who they are, rather than what other people expect. Karumi may be physically absent more often, she also frequently thinks of Ruriko and what she would like. More than that a lot of what we see is her subtly attempting to make their time together more meaningful or to share things that are important to her, even if this behavior isn't explicitly called out and she doesn't consciously realize she's doing it.

Take Ruriko's walk home, this chapter, as an example. It's filled with memories of Karumi excitedly sharing something with her, despite the other girl not being there. You could view those scenes as showing how head-over-heals she is for Karumi, while Karumi is only focused on things she likes, but I don't think that really lines up with thoughts like "Just by walking around, I get little bits and pieces of the world Karumi-san lives in. It's a really lovely feeling."

Karumi engages with the world in a way most people don't and she brings a lot of that back to Ruriko, because she wants to share her experiences with the person she cares about. She tells Ruriko about the book and the movie, not because she enjoyed them, but because she things Ruriko will too and because she wants to have that shared experience with her. She tells Ruriko that she's craving curry not because she wants to eat some — she's more capable of eating out on her own —, but because she want to eat curry with Ruriko.

Yes! This is exactly what the whole story is about.

I’m surprised this story is getting so much hate because this is a website devoted to WLW fiction so getting caught up on heteronormative ideals of what marriage means feels... kinda silly

Is there any chance that we can get a “long strip”/webtoon button for series? We’ve been getting more long strip stuff recently and it would be nice to have the option to read it as one cohesive strip like mangadex would do. If it can’t be done then no biggie, thanks for the time
