A 4-koma manga about cute girls and worklife? I approve.

I don't know where Doki finds these but praise them.

Can I ask something irrelevant here because I want to know how she made that cake with little figures that look like them... and the plush toy too. How or where can I have a mini plush toy made to look like me?

Become a super school idol
Have merchandise made out of you
??????????
Profit

Seriously, and nobody noticed that Maki was wearing Nico-chan character goods the entire day?

Oh wow she did, I didn't even notice and I spent a couple hours on this.
I guess those are the perks of marrying an idol, lots of free stuff with your waifu's face on it.

Nice, Doki coming back with more 4-koma fluff.
I just hope this turns out as awesome as Majyo to Houki.

This was insanely adorable.

Er, regarding your first line.

The hentai vs. non-hentai was what I had intended for "pure" to represent... In that case, mind clarifying what you interpreted "pure" as? I don't want to be the one confused or confusing people, lol.

Pureness here is relative to morals, therefore there's only a loose definition of it one can apply. You can say it means untainted, usually by things of a sexual nature, but by some standards just the yuri itself is considered immoral, much similarly to yaoi being considered "rotten". For example would you say yuri incest is pure? It's certainly considered immoral by quite a lot of standards, so even if there wasn't anything sexual going on, do you call it shoujo ai? And this type of loose arbitrary terminology is what i really dislike.
If you're just saying pure as not involving sex, then it goes back to the redundancy of it all.
Also by loose definition, yuri, which means lily, can symbolize purity as well as most of the symbolism attached to lilies is related to chastity and whatnot. And we all here know yuri is the purest love there is~

And we're on page 3 because circlejerk!

Shoujo Ai is just yuri without sex, it has nothing to do with pure.
The term was coined to separate hentai content from non hentai content, but it really is redundant because the whole goal of the word yuri is to say there's lesbians in it, you can just use a hentai tag afterwards if there's sex or ecchi if it's slightly more explicit, but to use the word shoujo ai which is just girls love is completely redundant.
And if you're going to say it's for those more undertone things, well that's called yuri subtext or undertone. You don't go around inventing different romance genres depending on the amount of romance do you?
Shoujo Ai is a redundant genre that really needs to stop being used, just use yuri if there's two girls in love or don't if there's not, there can be varying degrees of yuri but there's certainly not some point where you have to call it shoujo ai instead.

I'm just happy Maki still kept her purity.

Shoujo Ai is a Western invention to separate more physical (often sexual) lesbian romance and the more cutesy lesbian romance. There's no real benefit to separating it but some people are really anal about it for one reason or another.
In reality though it's just Yuri, period.

I really like KyouMami, I'm usually very close minded with pairings but this one I can always get behind for one reason or another.

Though that doesn't mean phallic shaped objects are something i abhor~

That's really weird, dude.

I wonder. If only that was the weirdest thing i could say about me here ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) I think we've gone far off track with discussion though so i show probably stop, i also think OP is scarred for life.

Nosebleed, you're a girl or boy? no joking this time...

I mentioned a couple pages ago i'm a male yo.

Having found things i shouldn't have found in my parents' bedroom when i was 6, i was not given much of a chance for innocence, so i'd say most of you people are pretty lucky in that department.

In primary school, we were having a birthday party and found a porn video of (I assume) my dad's.

This was fairly early on. Before I found his porn magazines. Which was still younger than ten.

WHY DIDN'T I GET A CHILDHOOD!

pat pat It could have been worse, it could have been your mother's personal portable phallic shaped object... i still remember when my hands searched through the drawers and encountered it..... my life was never the same again.

Never the same? so you used it? in front or behind? I want dirty details.

I-it's a secret! (And also the plot of some stuff i've read)

what the...well..i don't know what to say anymore.. guess i'm traumatized..-_-

You've only scratched the surface mate~

I read yuri and yaoi and i'm a straight male. Go figure~

There's nothing wrong with enjoying any kind of fiction as long as you're happy about it, it doesn't have to translate into any real life implications.

I'd like to file a complaint, it seems my heart was shattered to bits after reading this story, I demand compensation.
A bucket to put my tears in would suffice.
Thank you.

That's just how 4koma manga usually go, they don't usually have mind blowing endings and stick to the simple storytelling style. I don't really know what exactly more they could have done here to improve it, sure you might say the plot comes out of nowhere in the last few chapters, but again that's really usually how these types of manga go, at least from my experience.
I remember watching the K-on anime and crying at the end because they graduated and then i read the manga and the transition was much less emotional because of the format. It's kind of the same here really.

It ended as nonsensical as it began.
May Noriko and Rhianna live happily ever after and make many magic babies!

I'm wondering how they'll adapt Grisaia no Rakuen's ending, I'm really not putting much faith in it and will just sit back and watch. The reason why it's going so smooth now is because Rakuen has a linear plot, it doesn't have any individual girl routes, so it's not like they can fuck up the plot like they did with Kajitsu, but the ending itself sounds really unlikely to be adapted to TV.

Visual Novel spoilers:
Considering the ending to Grisaia no Rakuen is a harem ending with all the girls

So really, I'm holding my breath on Rakuen.

It's not a Trigger show, it's done by Gainax (who to be fair aren't a bad studio) and directed by the guy who directed FLCL (and nothing else so he's fairly inexperienced), but they really didn't deliver much with this one, i had some hopes for it but now i'm pretty unimpressed, not even the animation is anything spectacular. I'm watching Jewelpet and having more fun with it than this.
