So, this demon girl killed her dad and everyone in the story, including the dorm manager who is aware of the situation, seems to be treating this like MC is mad about her drinking the last of the milk

Her dad must not have been very popular

Besties going shopping - sweet
Those shoes with socks are ugly af

Actually it kinda works with that skirt, I guess. They are both stylish 22 year-olds.

(makes me feel challenged as a 21 yo)

Let's agree to disagree as it's a matter of aesthetics and personal taste. Not that I like the skirt btw. All of these IMO are examples of blind following of modern fashion trends guided by big fashion brands to "decutify" and/or "masculinise" women's clothing. It is quite obvious if you follow Vogue fashion runways in the last, say, 5-10 years. The opposite is obviously happening with male clothing. But I digress. Sorry for the offtopic of sorts and a bit of a rant

Also, the dialogue implies that she's trying those shoes on before buying. No reason to take your socks off in a mall for that xD

I'm trying to hold out hope that the villainess will be over the top about her evil schemes and office lady will have to save her from the consequences of her actions but, sadly, stories like this hate having actually evil ladies as love interests

Now, when you say "over the top", are we talking Carmen Sandiego here, or straight up Bond villain, because I could be down to see either.

I would die for a slapstick romantic comedy where the villainess went full insane bond villain and the OL was desperately trying to ride the tornado while keeping her from going to far xD

Sadly, I doubt that's where this is headed

Since the story is supposedly based on a game where the villainess and heroine are actually villain and heroine, I think the heroine is genuine but will somehow manage to fall for the office lady. Pretty standard for these stories. That will cause more sparks to fly between her and the villainess and OL will have to find a way to talk them both down

Hrrrm, I don't know. The villainess feels kinda generic, and the heroine ... actually as well. Even the sorta scenes ... of course the room was a mess, of course she'd work super-hard and then it'd be in perfect order (including sparkles, obviously). Very by rote.

So story presumably will be villainess is just misunderstood and blabla and actually not any sort of villain at all anyway.

So now that she knows her oniisan is a girl, she has fallen into despair. Thankfully, I trust this author not to speedrun the relationship at this point

I feel like I'd be fine if they just slowly made up and became friends. It has the potential to be such a nice relationship regardless of how far it goes

OH NO SHE KNOWS
THE ABSENCE OF ANY OBVIOUS BLUSHING OR HAPPY-GAY SPARKLES IS MAKING THIS VERY DIFFICULT TO PARSE ON WHETHER IT'S A GOOD REVELATION (for her) OR NOT
I'M SO STRESSED OUT

Or she think Onii-san send it to Koga and is his GF.

I second this. Aya is kind of an airhead she'll definitely think Mitsuki is Oniisan's GF

I feel like it could also be that she feels like there is no hope for the relationship now that "he" is a girl. Or perhaps she feels that the person she had a crush on doesn't actually exist

Once she gets over the initial despair, she might be open to starting some sort of relationship with Koga but I think she needs some recovery first

I am finding it more and more unbelievable that Mitsuki is unpopular when she is constantly rattling off smooth lines so easily without thinking xD

Probably because she doesn't really speak to her classmates to rattle off any smooth lines lol

I feel like Mitsuki is the sort of character who could get called on to read a passage from a book in class and accidentally make the class swoon with her delivery

I am loving what a ladykiller Mitsuki is

I do wonder how she's keeping it a secreet at this point, though. Must get glasses from the same brand as Clark Kent

So it seems like Jerkface might be just an awkward guy who is trying way too hard to act dominant and cool despite the fact thay he's a total bottom who just wants friends and is coming off toxic and gross

Or he's an actual sleaze who is biding his time until he spots an opening to continue being sleazy

I'm leaning toward the former and hope it's the case vut I'm still reserving judgement

More like: forgot that an argument like yours needs evidence beyond “That’s my impression, anyway,” or else people who read a lot more, or a lot different, manga than you do will think you’re just wrong, and say so.

Meh, people will do that regardless of any examples
Have you been on the internet long?

Okay, the guy it's pretty cool, I love guys in yuri manga that are just supporters instead of love interest.

I didn't think this would need to be said but, after the number of replies now, I guess it does. "Faster" does not mean that it always happens, that it only happens in yuri, that yuri is poorly written, or that it is more excessive than other genres. It only means that I find make out sessions tend to start happening earlier and with less buildup in the series run than in hetero romance stories

Bro, the hets have something called TL that it's het porn for women an hentai that it's almost all het and aiming for men, instead we had to PRAY for a kiss not long ago, yuri was know for being so so "pure" that we even consider hanholding harder than sex, because that was the only thing that happened at all. Citrus in fact gained a lot of fans for kissing in the first chapter. What the hell are you talking about?

I'm talking about my experience with Yuri. Which is, apparently, much different than yours

Unsupported categorical assertions get pushback—who could have predicted?

I assumed saying that I think yuri couples make out sooner was too mild a statement to be worth the bother
Forgot I was on the internet, I guess ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Sigh... Sucks this series is gay bait according to interview with author.

the author just didn't see this as "yuri" but Woman loving another woman situation (like a gender based) also she loves matured girls if u see her other works js.

But that's literally what Yuri means, lol

Yuri is more about the fetishized fantasy girl on girl romance designed more for crowd pleasing and eroticism than realism. Needless to say, real world lesbian romances tend to be VERY different from those you see in yuri stories

If someone seeks realism on a genre from Japanese media they sure came to the wrong place, not only Yuri is like that. yet, I'm still to see all those numerous fetishized Yuri works that people talk soooo much about, I can list 3 from the top of my head after reading this genre for years

You never noticed how much faster yuri couples start kissing and getting naked compared to straight romance manga?

Wait a minute. I missed Miss Sunflower kissing and getting naked somewhere in the last hundred chapters?!

O_o

Yuri doesn't mean "lesbian" on english. Yuri is a made up word that takes 2girls together and more on the ecchi type. Just like the word hentai is, its made up.

Yuri actually means "lily" a flower that became a lesbian symbol in Japan

I was mainly referring to how the Author saying he doesn't see this as "yuri" probably means that she is looking for more realism in the romance and doesn't just want it to fall into the trap of "girl on girl hawt."

Imo Aya already “knows” what’s going on. When she finally realizes Mitsuki’s true identity she’ll be like “well on some level I figured it out.” Or “I can’t deny the signs were there all along” or whatever

That's one of the things that's been kind-of bugging me about this page, in the context of the following chapters. She's having a meltdown over the smell of Mitsuki's jacket which A) probably isn't all that boy-ish and B) probably isn't all that different from how she smells during class. That feels like something she'd notice sooner, rather than later, especially if Mitsuki keeps doing things like accidentally kabedoning her or whatever you want to call the way she gave back that earbud in the fourth chapter.

Aya: Hey, you know, you smell a lot like the boy I like.
Mitsuki: Uh ...
A: You also sound a bit like him, and you have pretty similar eyes.
M: Well, about —
A: And now that I'm looking closer, you have holes for piercings in the same place as his piercings.
M: ...
A: I'm beginning to think it's not a boy that I like.

I feel like that last line should be
A: He's your brother isn't he!?
M: Eh!?

My theory: Jerkface will decide that Aya is meeting Mitsuki's older brother and try to get in good with Mitsuki, Prompting Aya to get territorial

Alternatively, he could fall in love with Boy!Mitsuki and have massive panicky gay denial for a few chapters leading to an awkward love triangle xD
