Ending needed to be more gonzo frankly. I want the time loop to spiral out of control leading to an orgy between the two main characters at like every year of their lives, all together. Fucking each other, fucking themselves, then fucking each other, then fucking the very fabric of time itself.

Instead we got this which is dumb but boring and doesn't lend itself to thought or creative interpretation because we're supposed to take it at face value but also conveniently ignore that the POV character just committed like 24 chapters worth of statutory rape.

Meh

Wasn't aware this tag was so old

An interesting concept but I guess it wasn't popular enough to keep the story going. If it was going to end so quickly it's tragic that about as much time in the middle got spent on minor characters as the relationship between the leads.

I guess the market can't support angsty but fairly chaste love triangle stories

I enjoyed this a lot more than its prequel, but go figure; between falling in love stories and stories about people in love trying to figure out how, or even what, to get out of the relationship that they want, I almost always prefer the latter.

Is it weird I think all the interesting parts of the story were the ones skipped over?

I just wanna know what's throwing off the fumes this is huffing (please don't say Hot Gimmick).

I was going to say usagi drop actually

Well that escalated quickly

I'm sure it would if not because of the property but just because voice actresses in such am exposed property, at least ones with major roles, would wind up becoming idols.

This is basically what happened to Aya Hirano

Well I've seen enough yuri where girls set up one of those planetarium lights so of course there has to be one with a suction vibrator

Pretty funny though. I liked it

I like trains

Deeply underappreciated form of transportation especially in the US. Not much slower than airplanes but a much more comfortable ride. What thus country did to rail expansion the minute they ran out of Chinese immigrants to exploit is frankly unconscionable

Jeez it's like half the people that read this never read an ecchi series in there life if you want a wholesome slice of life yuri series this ain't it

Honestly one of the reasons I'm a bit sour on this series is that I have. The setup to the story is interesting but to turn it into every other sex gag manga is frustrating, doubly so when the punchline to the gag is "this is probably a crime". Potential totally wasted, especially since it's not like cartoon boobs are hard to find.

Having a high school yuri story with sexual themes that is frank without being leery is so incredibly refreshing.

The existence of the "Yuri hime special" is that the series isn't serialized there, I presume. Is it just a web comic or is it serialized in print somewhere?

Finally some good fucking subtext

So Yukiko is capable of writing such stories... the more you know. Since it was Yukiko, it turned out to be more wholesome than expected

Honestly I'd say that over the whole of her work futaribeya is in many ways the aberration, especially if you include stuff like the 100 days of compensated dating light novel art. Very much works that focus their attention on the far edges of polite society.

Can't believe they're turning this into a fighting game

There's only so much to fit in 4 panels but just threatening violence over a platonic relationship is fucked up on its own. I don't necessarily mean that this relationship is built on an abusive dynamic, an actual teenage girl flinching at the threat in that way is a clear sign of, as they say, problems in the home. Definitely a strong implication of very bleak shit even if it's not directly depicted on the page, and I don't think it really makes sense any other way.

Highly uncomfortable, but not as bad as To Meet You Again was. Especially as Ako decided not to hit her after seeing how much she cared for her.

I actually think this is much darker honestly, given that the story seems to treat one of the characters as generous for not engaging in violent abuse. Puts the emotional abuse aspects into even sharper focus.

This gets a chuckle from me. Thanks!

I don't know many bikini armor games, but there is this terrible anime called Bikini Warriors if you like to suffer.

If memory serves... Isnt that a series of hentai shorts?

Pretty much, I think it was more on the ecchi side. Still brainless and bad.

@Shoggoth

Also there is nothing bad about Goblin Slayer. Goblins are monsters, not humans. In some settings you have female demons killing men or harpies ripping males appart. If anyone thinks getting abused, eaten or worse is some kind of lewd fanservice, they might have problems. Just think of the Xenomorph from Alien. They aren't a statement about some nation or meant as wank material, they are simply there to spook you.

You're... You're aware that the visual design of the Xenomorphs and their whole ecosystem is meant to represent the physical manifestation of threats of sexual violence right? I mean I expected missing the point in the thread but I didn't think it would be this bad
