Man I love manga featuring adult versions of the teenagers we got to know in other media.

This is a very sweet doujin. Just a cute, happy, fuzzy little slice of life. And since I am an old guy I really love the nostalgia aspect. The older I get, the more I like to indulge in that nostalgia, so this story really hits me right in the kokoro.

Also: 21th

Love the "can't train AI on this" text. I'm sure it'll be as effective as those "You cannot send me junk email or I will call the FBI" notices you used to see in people's email signatures way back in the early days of the Internet.

Gotta say I don't remember either one of 'em in the anime being stacked like Hitomi Tanaka...

We don't know that they're drunk.

But with Toba-sensei it's always a good bet.

Street sign spilling the tea.

Also, girl on the left looks like she's just come out of her marksmanship qualifiers.

also to clarify, separately, I don't have a problem with people writing about problematic shit, I think that's fine. the specific issue I was trying to express was that it seems like so much fiction content about BDSM is off or uncomfy that it's really hard to find stuff that I really enjoy or that does a good job representing the actual realities of the practice/community.

Very, very late reply here, but in my experience most BDSM manga reads like it was written by people whose only experience with BDSM is BDSM manga.

I continue to believe that this whole subplot started off as editorial meddling, but Takashima-sensei prevailed and is now course-correcting as best they can.

Most recent upload has some additional cover art the older upload doesn't, but it is otherwise the same manga.

Gratuitous "seeing double" bump.

Bumping this so we can have two "Men Men Musubi" threads on the front page of the forums.

Mikawacchi has zero chill.

What the heck happened to Miyoshi's legs? Why are her feet so small?

Foreshortening

Is this mini-chapter supposed to have a title like the others? Right now it just says Chapter 274.1: Mini chapter 59 in the list. Is "Misugi" supposed to be the mini-chapter name?

Just noticed the other day that Superstar is now on Crunchyroll. Time to catch up on my LL!

Boy we have come a long way from Chapter 1, where Ayano is literally touching Miyoshi's nipples in class with nary a hint of shame or embarrassment.

So Moe calls her cute, then comments about her being like a mom, and then goes about wanting to see her in a nurse outfit. Mermaids sure have weird kinks.

She has the very rare Mermaid Mom Nurse fetish. Typically not seen outside of Touhou fandom.

Took me a second to realize that she was NOT trying to extract (or insert) some kind of beetle out of (or into) the other girl's crotch.

Miyoshi is basically that joke where they're just "really good friends" but she's such an airhead, that she actually does just think that they're just the best friends ever, but also she's definitely 100% in love with Ayano.

My prediction is that she's 100% in love with Ayano, but is terrified to take the risk of confessing because she doesn't want to lose Ayano as a friend.

I always like assertive, toppish Nico. I think it fits her personality better.

For me it's less about the top Nico and more about the bottom Maki.
Like, Maki'd be way too embarrassed and tsundere to actually be able to top effectively and consistently. Nico on the other hand would immediately get topped by anyone who wanted to top her but she'd also easily top anyone who lets her.

Maki is also an only child and is used to being pampered and doted upon. Whereas Nico is basically the head of her household, and is used to getting her family all marching in the same direction.

I always like assertive, toppish Nico. I think it fits her personality better.

You fail to consider that if someone is taller, or has a deeper voice, or is more muscular, or takes a more active role in the story, they clearly must be "the man" in the relationship.

Someone needs to tell 23, then, because I don't think he got the message.

As for NicoMaki, I suspect a big part of the reason is this:

I always like assertive, toppish Nico. I think it fits her personality better.

I like how the bear heads on their pajamas are completely unaffected by the wrinkles in the cloth.

It has always been thus for the plaid pattern on the skirts and ribbons for all the girls, all the way back to the first chapter.

Ngl as funny and cute as it is, no matter what gender if I was harassed/flirted with CONSTANTLY and AGGRESSIVELY like that at work like that by someone I’d probably get HR involved or something, like at some point it’s to much lol.

Yep. This was a chapter where I had to keep repeating "This is a RomCom. This is a RomCom." to myself.

• There is zero chance that the MahiMahi girls have ever been sexually aroused at any point in their lives. They're like Yamada from Kase-san: Raised in a vat, completely isolated from all forms of modern media, until they were decanted at the age of 16 right before high school.

You were saying ? :p

The times, they are a-changin'!

Raccoon-san gonna have an opinion about this.
