The humping starts so abruptly that it's kind of funny. The cuddling was cute though

I thought I skipped a page or two when I was trying to force load the page and doubled back lol.

Thought this was very sweet!

It's gonna be pure cringe like 80% chinese manhua out there

I dunno about this one for sure, but here are a few of my recs for totally-not-cringe manhua that's already being translated rn

Reincarnation type - Long Awaited Feelings
Transmigration type - Perfect Heroine Wants to Possess Me

Does anyone remember which chapter it was revealed (a bit more clearly) that Ruriko was romantically interested? Or was it from the beginning? It's been a while so I think i'm forgetting

And this one. Don't forget this one.
Best ABO I've ever read.

Hands down best (original) ABO work I've read as well. So so so so good.

I don't remember anything about a village attack being mentioned.

A few chapters back, the villagers said that the monsters had been acting weird and then suddenly they attacked the village and that's why the villagers were advised to stay inside and be protected by the MCs. That's also why the Demon Lord girl went out to save her friend. So according to Future!Elsa, this is supposed to be a turning point for the storyline/future because that's where Evie dies.

I don't expect anyone saying "I cant' believe you murdered my father! alright THAT'S IT! you're not getting pudding tonight!"

LOL

i can't imagine that at all bc that manga would probably turn genres into something like "My Name" (Netflix drama) haha

Porrima and Doctor _Hoot's suggestion of het in source

+1

Personally I'd rather be able to blacklist or identify the tag so I wouldn't see the work and accidentally check out the source. Or worst yet, not see the source link because it was removed (for reasons unaware) and look it up for myself.

The blacklist function doesn't work on images, they would still show up all the same. Not my area of the site though, so I don't have much else to add.

Oops! Sorry, didn't realize that. was just preference, but it's ok since it doesn't work!

thanks all! i ended up catching up to ch28 just now and I think it's more yuri than het at this point, so that was a relief.

looking forward the next chapter!

moral simplicity over understanding and empathizing with humans in their full complexity

all I can say is that certain experiences shape each and every one of us, so I sympathize with both sides of the argument. to be fair, I am not disagreeing with you but I hesitate to fully agree

I don't think cheating is necessarily done with the intent of malice, but that doesn't excuse the consequences and trauma of such an act

as an aside... I def vibe with the author's other work more in any case, but as someone else said earlier in the thread, the common theme seems to be an interestingly unusual dynamic between the MCs.

can't tell if slow burn, but its true.... where is the subtext lol

i've never worked textile retail so i can't speak for this industry, but i think it's important to note that the person giving professional opinion to the author/artist comes from a completely different side of the industry than an actual retail worker so i can understand why the lens are so ..... glossy and vibrant and not jaded and exhausted hahaha

what's the media equivalent of aggretsuko in retail work lol

don't think it was necessary to redeem the ex-boyfriend

completely agree with you here. but like you said, i think (?) it serves some sort of importance for the author to have midori try to reason it out--- i'm thinking this type of thinking is likely going to be the crux of the conflict between midori and kyouko, but who knows. it's only chapter 2 lol

but yeah, I think we're going to find out why the series is called "Too Blue to be Love" real soon

:/
i completely forgot about the name of this work lol

I enjoy piecing the story together, it's a bit like a puzzle, with the picture becoming clearer with each piece you fit into place.

I agree! also the way this story is being published is pretty sporadic from the author's weibo. these pieces that we've seen translated and are reading now are from a little while back already. it's bits and pieces because it's not a serialized work needing to have a strong plot to drive the work, but almost rather a slice of life with just enough information to tease the readers constantly.

i'm sure it'll at some point pick up the pace because the author likely already has milestone/specific story points in mind as she character/world builds, but it's quite cute to just relax and check in on youzi's life with her mom and auntie ren lol

this is like My Next Life as a Villainess but if it was actually a yuri

It's not a harem, it's a triangle plot. She's stuck between the gentle, dashing and heroic heroine and the utilitarian but harboring a secret soft side villainess

not a big harem fan, but i always love it when it shows up as an option. this is def going to tease the 1) villainess 2) heroine and 3) prince options, but we all know what the ending is really going to be like!!!

again, as with every chapter.... @god when
i wanna be an OL with a villainess wife TT

oh no, i liked chapter one so much but chapter 2 feels so problematic lol

I'm all for staying friends with your ex if you broke up amicably and can adjust back to being friends well! but uhhhhh a good friend who became your partner and then went ahead and cheated on you is neither a good partner nor a good friend at all. i agree with @Nekomancer47

kyouko looks like she's being set up to be a pushover and midori (i think that's her name?) seems like she's being propped to "learn" how to love, in this story. ngl, I'm a little tired of this kind of plotline so I might check back in a few chapters later to see how the comments are doing.

hope it's actually a fluffy heartwarming story--- I understand and like that the author is trying to make all the men seem very nice ™️ here but i'm not entirely sure how it's gonna pan out when time comes for the conflict part of this story.


edit:

midori yandere???

hmm, I don't think she's gonna turn out yandere, but I think the author definitely put effort into making her into a character that smiles with her mouth and not with her eyes. (imo it's the "fake" smiling that has us thinking its "crazy" person territory). we'll just have to see!

I hope the author turns this into a series!!

i hope so too! Sekihara's in a circle named Niratama as the main artist and they collab with a story writer named Hirohito to churn out great stuff (Precure, Vocaloid, Revue, Love Live, Kancolle, Original works, etc). Usually artist circles like these don't seem to normally serialize in my opinion, but one can hope. Specifically something I've found that's interesting is that their works together usually center a lot on eating out each other, which personally I think is really neat bc they do it well too

Stuff Sekihara has been recently working on is mostly het, from what I can see on their twitter. should note that they call themselves an omnivorous artist

I expected this to be about hip hop gangsta girls, not Al-Capone-style gangsta girls.

I feel kinda cheated.

the difference between gangsta and gangster is but a few letters away
