Has.....has he really never said "I love you" in this manga? I've been thinking a lot of her anxiety might just be in her head, but yeah, it's starting to sound justified.

I think it is justified, in this likely being a pity marriage on his part. OTOH I don't know if we've seen enough of the married couple in the circumstances where we would expect them to say "I love you", so I'm not sure this particular evidence is strong.

Who are your pic people, OrangePekoe? I'm guessing Sayaka and Kuroko.

YOOOOOOO Im SO STUPID i read the latest chapter and I was sat there thinking,,,, "is this a flashback??, how did reichi come home is kaoru dreaming? he's suppose to be dead??" I was literally like whats going on, then i read the comments which made me even more confused because everyone was going along with it like yes this is normal and i was the only one out of place and then it hit me,,, i was thinking this was the other manga with the sister whos in love with her brothers wife LOL

Haha, yeah, it can be confusing. But this is the one that is known yuri, confession at all, vs. the one that doesn't even have a subtext tag at the moment.

Dissolving the police department and unions and recreating it worked out well for Camden. https://world.wng.org/2018/03/camden_s_new_day

The primary if not sole employer of prison guard unions is public prisons. Private prisons are 8.2% of the incarcerated population, and falling. https://www.sentencingproject.org/publications/private-prisons-united-states/ They're a problem, but blaming them as a major problem is barking up the wrong tree.

"Also not really seeing why public servants in general and ones who do an unpleasant, highly necessary and often quite dangerous work in particular should be denied the essential right to argue for their interests vis-a-vis their employer in an organised fashion."

No one's said they should be denied that right. Doesn't stop us from pointing out the harms those unions cause. And I've been seeing a lot of leftists call for police abolition, so "highly necessary" is debatable.

Yes, the US has highly decentralized police departments. How does that make it not a problem that police unions protect criminal cops?

"the US has more people in jail per capita"

Doesn't mean prison guard unions can't be part of the cause of that.

"The guard unions are simply acting rationally"

So? The Koch brothers or some corporation lobbying for deregulation are also acting rationally. Does that morally excuse them? Does that mean we shouldn't call out the harm they do?

More on Shino's friends either shipping her or just teasing her: https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/living_with_my_brothers_wife_ch60_5#4

More on "this may not be yuri but Shino is gay" https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/living_with_my_brothers_wife_ch60_5#7

Or not? https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/living_with_my_brothers_wife_ch60_5#9

sometimes corrupt, excessively anti-competitive, or power-abusive.

Ie. same as the "capital" side of the equation. Turnaround is fair play if you ask me, given "labour" tends to be the primary victim when the latter slips its leash.

But with public sector unions, they're opposing government, which kind of represents the people, rather than opposing capital.

Police and prison guard unions don't seem to be in the net public interest.

Are we talking US context here? Because those would be basically irrelevant there (save for their members' collective professional interests natch, don't see why they shouldn't get to organise to promote those like everyone else) compared to the grossly dysfunctional mess that is the organisation of law enforcement in that country, and doubly so the utter counterproductive idiocy that is privatised prisons.

Yes, US, and I disagree with their being irrelevant. The police unions are a big part of why it's hard to bring the police in check, AIUI the guard unions lobby for longer prison terms. Both kinds of unions spent lots of money to defeat California's 2008 Prop 5: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_California_Proposition_5

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Correctional_Peace_Officers_Association

"The CCPOA has supported campaigns for tougher criminal sentences, including large contributions to the 1994 campaign for Proposition 184, the 'three strikes' ballot initiative, which puts repeat offenders behind bars for lengthy terms. "

"CCPOA political activity routinely exceeds that of all other labor unions in California."

A quick search finds critical articles from both the left and right. A Reason article is critical of both private prisons and guard unions, but says the latter are bigger.

Random question, what is your opinion on worker's unions?

Complicated. Sometimes useful, leveling the power imbalance between employer and employee; sometimes corrupt, excessively anti-competitive, or power-abusive. Police and prison guard unions don't seem to be in the net public interest.

"offensive or socially unacceptable or disgusting or wrong or criminal"

Those are very different things, and often subjective, by individual or by society. That I find something disgusting doesn't mean it is, or should be, socially unacceptable or criminal.

This site is dedicated to girl/girl love, which has been considered all of those things.

And 'problematic' can mean "I like something because of something that would harmful/wrong in real life" (rape fantasy, say) or "I like something despite its problems, which it would be better without", like Lovecraft and racism, or possibly Kase's controlling jealousy in this manga. (Though latter might be the first problematic for someone!) Can also mean "there's some sort of social acceptance flaw here but it would take more words than I want to spend to say exactly what, so I'll just use problematic and move on".

I find myself wondering if Haruka has a theater friend commit suicide or something.

Yeah, I downloaded the chapters for speedier scan, and the answer is "no" to both. Haruka works with Barista-san, who knows Haruka used to act, but has never used a name so we can't guess how close they are that way.

New Girl just calls out 'Haruka', which embarrassing for Haruka when Nao used it, so they should be pretty close in some dimension. Coloring is pretty different to be a sister but I don't know if that means anything. New Girl can also open the door without knocking.

Still cute, though turning into a "mutual refusal to communicate" plot.

Have we even seen this girl before? https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/an_aside_told_to_you_ch03#18

And does Haruka's barista friend https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/an_aside_told_to_you_ch02#5 have a name? I didn't notice one on a quick re-read.

"the very question if something can be problematic is ridiculous and unwelcome"

People here certainly call lots of other manga here problematic. Well, the words used are often more like "fucked up" or "rapey" or "disturbing", but same idea.

OTOH I prefer not to complain about things much; the forums are most useful to me when providing more information and depth and pointing out nice details I missed. Shared positivity is cool too. Shared negativity, not so much; mentioning is one thing, long arguments over it another.

The implied setting makes me think of Atwood's Handmaid's Tale or the really obscure and defunct PM Magazine. In which case running away might not be an option. OTOH what little we see of the outside world doesn't match up to that.

I was surprised to see in the comments that there are more chapters (that we're not getting unless new translators step up). It seemed to end on a 'fine' dark and disturbing note, nothing resolved and doom implied but all that seemed plausible for a Japanese work.

I have no idea of the source material, or half of what was going on, but it was pretty erotic anyway...

For me it's not that I have anything against it per se. But it would be nice to see some more stories where the teen girls aren't going "girls can date??!!1?" For variety, at least?

The tag with the ''dicks on page 8'' is such a clickbait

dickbait

Japan needs to do an audit of school nurse office's. The nurse never seems to be in.

Sometimes!

Nice to read a longer one-shot.

How far did they get in their bed play?! Yui seems undressed and that's a "fingering hurts with nails" reaction.

"we already had the word quiet, calm"

But those words don't mean the same thing.

Extroversion is one of the Big Five personality traits, extracted via statistics from lots of personality survey data, i.e. it's one of five prominent axes or dimensions that stand out in the data. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Five_personality_traits#Extroversion

I've known people who were introverted but outgoing (capable of holding conversations with strangers or multiple people easily, but drained by the experience) and people who were extroverted but shy (found it hard to speak up in a crowd but really wanted to be in the crowd).

It's also a fact that people differ greatly in where they fall on the spectrum. Saying just "everyone is ambivert" is completely useless, it removes the possibility of conveying useful information.

Everyone is ambivert. Nobody is fully extroverted or introverted. It's a spectrum.

A statement which erases the real differences between people.

Chapter 3 could have been just kissing, after the confession and a half.
