That kiss was fucking sexy.

Also this manga keeps getting better and better. The frameworks are so good compared to everything else I've been reading lately, talking about consent, giving real life advice, etc. And the drama in these past couple chapters! It's the good kind, not the artificial padding bullshit, but stuff that makes sense and goes somewhere. Omg I'm so completely psyched for the next chapter!

Can I just say, this isn't my favorite manga but it's absolutely fucking sick that we have a yuri tokusatsu? Like, whaaaaa? And the author is just so cool??

I 100% support the diversification of the yuri genre. We can go beyond romance/drama/ modern day character plots, and bring the healing power of lesbian love to all possible fictional scenarios. Come on, if this is possible, what's next? Yuri cooking manga? Yuri urban fantasy? YURI SHOUNEN??

Blessed rainbro.

I see what you did there, and I like it.

Praise the storm!

They are literally so cute together, I love the fireworks scene.

This is so sweet I love it

Ah yes, semi-anonymous internet forums, the premier location for intelligent discourse about the place for and nuances of consent.

I will have this argument with anyone, anywhere, because people need to understand that it is not okay to have sex with someone who can't consent.

Yeah, I respect that.

(Chapter 54)

——> TO BE CONTINUED

I don’t know, I think that was, like, really hot. Getting egged on by a dominant bottom... hoo boy. Honestly I’m super down for this to get twisted and dramatic, and I normally hate NTR but something about this is deeply satisfying to me. There’s just a lot of raw desire in this work, I’m excited to see what happens.

extorting physical services for rent

Cool erotica trope.

cheese in gyoza

I'm out of here!

But seriously, yeah, whew that chapter 8!

As for earlier discussion, why is "pay rent money, or I evict you" a legitimate business transaction, but "have sex or pay money, or I evict you" extortion?

Biology. Sex acts release neurochemicals that stimulate emotional dependency and build intimacy. As such, human society, in general, tends to afford greater weight to sexual activity than other behaviors, and so forcing someone to engage in them without honest consent is traumatic, and therefore immoral.

It's not the same for everyone, because people are different, but in general, this is why sex crimes are more traumatic than non-sex crimes, and why casual sex is so hard of a concept for a lot of people.

Simply offering an alternate payment form really isn't proper extortion. Depending on where you are it could probably fall afoul of prostitution laws but that's a different can of worms. Traditional extortion would be more along the lines of "pay me your rent and if you know what's good for you give me some nooky on the side or we will find something to evict you for."

For something to be blackmail or extortion there must be a threat made. Simply offering somebody an alternative option to save them from becoming homeless due to their own fault and failure to pay rent doesn't meet that requirement. The Land Lady made no threat.

The threat of eviction is still a threat. Legally, demanding sex for continued lodging is extortion.

As for people describing this as rape. Again that's a completely false statement and a misuse of the word. For rape to occur the sexual act must not be consensual. Prostitution and rape are not synonyms.

Having sex with someone who is drunk is rape. They aren't able to consent. Period. It's not complicated.

Exactly. Most robust—and morally meaningful— definitions of consent require that the consenter have access to all relevant information, be of sound mind to make reasonable decisions, and not be coerced. I’m too tired right now to make the full argument of why “have sex with me or I’ll evict you” and “if you have sex with me I won’t evict you” are not meaningfully different with regards to coercion.

Personally I think some things that would be blatantly morally impermissible in real life can be quite enjoyable to see in fiction so long as we acknowledge what’s problematic with them, but that’s just my two cents.

(chapter 36

Wow, really interesting to see Iori interacting with the editor, I guess I really thought that story would be totally separate from the rest but I’m glad to see a tie-in. Also, I love how Iori’s just like “stop being a useless lesbian and tell her” and that pushes editor-chan forward a little bit. It’s kinda cool to see characters from these three almost-seperate stories supporting and influencing each other.

Drunk Iori is really cute.

Yeah, I’m starting to lean on the side that the shit we saw a couple chapters ago was a hard misplay by the author accidentally portraying something completely different than they meant to. IMO it was definitely bad enough to mark my rating of the manga and I think it pulls the tone in a weird, serious/critical direction that makes me slightly uncertain where the boundary is between dark, fucked up moments and more lighthearted slapstick.

This latest chapter (35) could be interpreted as Iori breaking her girlfriend’s boundaries in a pretty serious way, especially by people whose trust in the author and character was broken by a previous chapter, or it could Minami trying to balance her job and professionalism with her girlfriend being cute and horny in her workplace, and coming to a humorous and spicy balance of the two in a way that shows a little example of how being with a partner can make your life flow in unexpected directions.

Really a shame that the author fucked this up so hard and ruined a lot of people’s enjoyment of a work that relies on some small subtleties and knowledge of their relationship for its effect.

I think she’s supposed to be attracted to her idol persona which makes it yuri

That was fukt. Mikanuji has a lot of explaining to do. Either the tone was way off the mark by accident, they’re setting up for some big drama and Minami is going to leave Iori, or I’m dropping this manga from my favorites like a sack of bricks.

Edit: on re-reading, this seems intentional. Look at the way Iori is standing kind of stiffly over Minami while she’s on the phone, the quick transition to anger with her eyes shadowed, Iori’s fear when her girlfriend goes to hit her, and how fucked up that exchange at the end is. I don’t know where all this is coming from because shit seemed fine, but it appears to be intentional when you look at how the panels, words, and characters’ bodies are posed.

She is fueled by big autism strength

I had a hard time trying to finger out what her deal is in the manga but this is totally what’s up.

I want to like this but I can’t get past the breast size exaggeration lol

Right? I seem to remember it being a thing in the original version way back where one of the girls had big but reasonable boobs asked the other was pretty standard/small, so the artist can do that kind of thing it just seems like they don’t want to. It’s off-putting.

Which is crazy, because if you’re just doing it as a thing to be sexy or whatever, you lose all sense of reality and physicality when everyone universally has boobs bigger than their head. I just don’t understand why this is a thing.

Lmao her bluntness and lack of filter, plus being tamed down over the years, I could totally see it ending up with this.

Nero is indeed a hard bottom, it’s factually true. Yes, I won’t hear any arguments with that.

@Clueless1 it’s called a “virgin-killer sweater”

I really really liked the situation framing the story but the sex was awful. Like, I got turned off by it. A lot of people are comparing this artist to Mira though, and I really don’t like their work, so I guess that’s it. So much hentai is just people mashing their bodies together without eroticism, I don’t get how it’s successful.

They are gay, it’s true, you can’t take this from me. Them and Eleanor are a thruple. Canon achieved.

Oh my gosh it’s back!

where’s the imouto though

I love it when the couple’s hidden and repressed desires get so strong that they can’t hold back. Also the scenes where she remembers being marked and gets turned on is.......

Wait there’s Vtubers who are together? Are they, you know, gay?
