I really like this, it simultaneously explores the pain and tension of being a lesbian in an environment of female friends, but also has the cute fluff at the end to unknot that tension.

Small brain: use your fingers to fuck her, so cut your nails

Big brain: use your mouth exclusively, and rake those fingernails down her back

This is definitely not part of God’s plan

Yeah, this definitely wasn't okay. I mean yeah, call out the girls' school trope, but the whole middle thing can't really be interpreted any other way than attempted rape, and it's way out of left field in an interest-breaking way.

Profoundly bad.

I think the author’s note at the end was actually cuter than the rest of the book (tho it was good).

Her lance is really fucking short and it is distracting me from the gay. I say unclean.

Wow, so Riko felt so guilty about not telling Yoshiko her secret that she made a fantasy scenario about telling her and being accepted despite it to let out the repressed emotional pressure. This was definitely really cute and hot as fuck, but that's really sad.

Can I just say that this chapter (9) really elevated this manga in my eyes? Not only did the author dodge the possible "multiple chapters of them not having a heart-to-heart about what happened" trope and instead allowed the characters to explain their emotions (as well as they understand them--the poor baby gays) to each other, they also took a critical step of spelling out that the connection characters' motivations really extend beyond trying to look cute. To this point, the manga has seemed to put a lot of emphasis on the importance of what a person looks like, which might seem shallow and unworthy of writing about (to say nothing of the potential harm such a piece could cause given all the fucked up social standards we have around beauty); however, what Kurokawa says in her little outburst made it clear to me that the author knows better, that the characters' preoccupation with beauty belonged to them and was not the author's position on the issue, and that the real point of their efforts to improve their appearance was to become stronger, more confident, and closer to each other--and in those things lies the value of the search for beauty.

I'm really looking forward to where this manga goes from here: I no longer have a firm sense of what quality level of authorship we're looking at here, and I hope I'll continue to be happily surprised as it progresses.

MONEEEEYYY, HERE COMES THE MONEY!

Wow this is unbelievably good,

Flowchart Mochi

The story is unbelievably mediocre, the eight characters’ stories happen completely independent of each other with zero interaction despite them traveling together, and the four per structure of each character’s story just means the momentum is killed every time by having to spend 10 hours doing other stories. The dialogue rarely ascends above trite, and gets very, very bad at times.

The gameplay mechanics are innovative, intricate, and amazingly well-designed, the graphics are interesting, and the music is really good. Not a game to play for plot, but solid everywhere else.

I love how I could tell this was mochi just by the name of the story.

@PureShipper I mean that’s kind of the goal when you’re going down on a woman, so sounds to me like the analogy still works.

Delet this nephew

@Throbelisk she’s talking about eating pussy for 20 minutes straight without stopping to breathe.

The classmate is like 10000% an egg too.

I’m really just here for Effie’s sculpted back & arms.

It really do be like that sometimes

Oh hell yeah, more Octopath. FEED ME MY TRASH SHIPS

Ah yes, Kodama Naoko, queen of unhealthy, disturbing, yet compelling dynamics.

Creator, pls make my lesbians real in the canon, I humbly beg of you. They’re too good.

I never knew this would see the light of day, I thought is was just a weird crack ship I found while playing. But fuuuck, can you imagine Ophelia’s empathy and kindness helping Primrose recover from her deep emotional trauma as she receives tenderness for the first time since she was a child while Primrose teaches a starry-eyed Ophelia how to be confident and worldly, and to value her self as she deserves to? And they slowly fall in love and develop a kind, nurturing, and super-healthy relationship with each other? Because I have definitely imagined this myself, if you can’t tell.
